Jeremiah 49
1 This is what the Lord says about the Ammonites: Don't the Israelites have any children? Don't they have heirs to inherit their property? So why has Milcom taken over the territory belonging to the tribe of Gad? Why are his people living in their towns?
BOEIPA loh Ammon ca rhoek ham he ni a thui. Israel te a ca om pawt tih anih aka pang khaw a om moenih a? Balae tih Gad Milkom loh a huul tih a khopuei kah a pilnam kho a sak.
2 Watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will signal the attack on the Ammonite town of Rabbah. It will be turned into a pile of ruins, and its villages will be burned down. Then the Israelites will drive out the people who took over their land, says the Lord.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk tangloeng coeng he. Ammon koca Rabbah ah caemtloek tamlung ka yaak coeng tih khopong imrhong la poeh ni. A tanu te hmai neh a hlup uh ni. Amah aka huul rhoek te Israel loh koep a huul ni. He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui.
3 Weep, people of Heshbon, for the town of Ai has been destroyed. Cry for help, people of Rabbah! Put on clothes made of sackcloth and start mourning; run to and fro inside your city walls, because your god Milcom will go into exile along with his priests and leaders.
Ai te a rhoelrhak dongah Heshbon nang rhung laeh. Rabbah nu rhoek pang uh lamtah tlamhni vah laeh. Rhaengsae lamtah tanglung khuiah tinghil laeh. Milkom neh a khosoih rhoek, a mangpa khaw vangsawn la rhenten cet ni.
4 Why do you boast that your valleys are so productive, you unfaithful people? You trust in your wealth, saying, “Who would dare attack us?”
Hnukmael nu aw, balae tih tuikol te na yan? na tuikol khaw long coeng te. A thakvoh dongah pangtung ni, “Unim kai taengla aka pawk eh?” a ti.
5 Watch out! I'm going to bring the surrounding nations to terrorize you, declares the Lord God Almighty. You will all be driven out and scattered, and no one will be able to gather you refugees together again.
Na kaepvai boeih lamkah birhihnah te kai loh nang soah ka thoeng sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah kah olphong ni. Hlang loh a mikhmuh ah a heh tih aka yong te khaw coi mahpawh.
6 However, later on I will bring you Ammonites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Tedae he phoeiah ni Ammon ca rhoek khuikah thongtla te ka mael puei eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says about Edom: Aren't there any wise people left in Teman? Isn't there any good advice from those with insight? Has their wisdom rotted away?
Edom kawng he caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui. Teman ah cueihnah om voel pawt nim? Aka yakming lamkah cilsuep he bing tih amih kah cueihnah khaw awk aih.
8 Turn and run away! Find somewhere to hide, people of Dedan, because I'm bringing disaster down on you descendants of Esau when I punish you.
Dedan khosa rhoek te thuh ham rhaelrham lamtah muelh hoihaeng uh laeh. Anih ka cawh tue ah tah Esau kah rhainah te anih soah ka thoeng sak ni.
9 If people harvesting grapes came to you, they'd leave some behind, wouldn't they? If thieves came during the night, they'd only steal what they wanted, wouldn't they?
Misur ka bit loh na taengla ha pawk koinih a yoep koi khaw paih mahpawh. Hlanghuen long khaw khoyin ah a ngaih te ni a phae eh.
10 But I'm going to strip the whole country of bare, leaving its people with nowhere to hide. All of Esau's descendants will be destroyed, along with their relatives and friends—they will all be gone.
Tedae Esau te ka baeh vetih a huephael te ka hliphen pah ni. Te vaengah thuh thai pawt vetih a tiingan neh, a manuca neh a imben khaw a rhoelrhak vetih amah khaw om mahpawh.
11 However, you can leave your orphans to me because I will protect them. Have your widows put their trust in me.
Na cadah rhoek te hnoo lamtah ka hing sak bitni. Te phoeiah na nuhmai ni kai dongah aka pangtung thai.
12 This is what the Lord says: If those who were not required to drink from the cup of judgment had to do so, how could you not be punished yourselves? You won't go unpunished, because you have to drink it too.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Amih kah tiktamnah mueh a mam ham aih ke. Boengloeng dongah a mam la a mam uh mai. Te dongah nang te m'hmil khaw m'hmil venim? M'hmil pawt vetih na mam rhoe na mam ni.
13 I made myself a solemn promise, declares the Lord, that the town of Bozrah will become a place that horrifies people, a complete humiliation, a pile of ruins, and a name that's used as a curse word. All its surrounding towns will also be left in ruins forever.
BOEIPA kah olphong neh kamah loh ka toemngam coeng. Bozrah te imsuep la, kokhahnah la, kholing la, rhunkhuennah la om ni. A khopuei boeih te kumhal due imrhong la om ni.
14 I received this message from the Lord. He has sent a messenger to the nations: Get yourselves ready to attack Edom! Prepare for battle!
Olthang te BOEIPA taeng lamloh ka yaak coeng. Laipai khaw namtom taengah ka tueih coeng. Coi uh thae lamtah anih te paan uh laeh. Te phoeiah caemtloek la thoo uh laeh.
15 Watch as I will make you insignificant compared to other nations—everyone will look down on you.
Nang te namtom taengah tanoe neh hlang taengkah a hnaep la kang khueh ni ne.
16 The fear you once created in others, and your pride in yourselves, has fooled you into overconfidence, you people living on the rocky mountain tops. Though you make your homes high out of reach like an eagle's nest, I will tear you down, even from there, declares the Lord.
Na mueipuelnah loh nang n'rhaithi coeng. Na lungbuei althanah neh thaelrhaep thaelpang ah aka om. Hmuensang som te na loh tihatha bangla na bu na sang sak cakhaw te lamloh nang te kan suntlak sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
17 People will be horrified at what's happened to Edom. Everyone passing by will be shocked, and will sneer at all its damage.
Edom te imsuep la om vetih aka pah boeih khaw a taengah pong uh ni. Te vaengah a hmasoe cungkuem neh hlip ni.
18 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, along with their neighboring towns, says the Lord, nobody will live there—they will become uninhabited.
Sodom, Gomorrah neh a imben te imrhong- la om coeng. BOEIPA loh, “A khuiah hlang loh khosa pawt vetih hlang capa khaw bakuep mahpawh,” a ti.
19 Watch out! I'm going to come like a lion from the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack the animals grazing the green pasture. In fact I'm going to chase the Edomites from their land very quickly. Who will I choose to conquer them? Who is like me? Who can challenge me? Which leader could oppose me?
Sathueng bangla Jordan mingthennah lamloh tolkhoeng puei la cet coeng ke. Anih so lamloh ka hoep uh vetih ka cungpoeh ni. Anih te coelh ham unim ka khueh eh? Kamah bang he unim, unim kai aka tuentah? Ka mikhmuh ah pai tih boiva aka dawn te unim?
20 So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Edom and the people of Teman: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Edom ham a uen cilsuep neh Teman khosa taengah a moeh a kopoek te hnatun uh. Boiva ca a koeng pah pawt atah a tolkhoeng khaw amih kongah pong mahpawt nim?
21 When they fall, the sound they make will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard all the way to the Red Sea.
Amih kah cungku ol ah diklai he hinghuen vetih pangngawlnah ol te carhaek tuipuei duela a yaak uh ni.
22 Watch as an enemy like an eagle flies high, then swoops down, spreading its wings as it attacks Bozrah. At that time Edom's warriors will be as scared as a woman in labor.
Thahum bangla luei vetih tih ding ni ne. Te vaengah Bozrah te a phae a khuk thil ni. Te khohnin ah tah Edom hlangrhalh kah lungbuei te puencak nu kah lungbuei bangla om ni.
23 A prophecy about Damascus: The towns of Hamath and Arpad are disturbed, because they've received bad news. They are fearful, restless like the sea. Nothing can calm their worries.
Damasku ham olthang thae a yaak dongah Khamath neh Arpad yak coeng. Tuipuei mawnnah dongah paci tih mong thai pawh.
24 The people of Damascus are demoralized—they turn and run away in panic, overcome by pain and anguish like a woman in labor.
Damasku te tahah tih rhaelrham ham a mael hatah lueihlaknah loh a cuuk thil. Citcai dongah ca-om nu bangla tharhui loh a doek.
25 Why isn't the city that is praised deserted, the city that made me happy?
Ka omthennah khorha koehnah aih he, balae tih khopuei koehnah he a toeng pawh.
26 For on that day its young men will die in its streets, all its defenders will be killed, declares the Lord of Hosts.
Te dongah a toltung ah a tongpang rhoek cungku uh vetih caemtloek hlang boeih khaw te khohnin ah kuemsuem uh ni. Hetah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
27 I'm going to set fire to the walls of Damascus; that will burn down the fortresses of Ben-hadad.
Damasku vongtung te hmai ka hlup vetih Benhadad impuei khaw a hlawp ni.
28 A prophecy about the land of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that were attacked by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. This is what the Lord says: Go and attack Kedar; destroy the people of the east!
Nebukhanezar, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a ngawn Kedar neh Hazor ram kawng khaw BOEIPA loh a thui. Thoo lamtah Kedar te paan laeh, khothoeng ca rhoek ke rhoelrhak laeh.
29 Take their tents and their flocks! Carry off their tent curtains and all their possessions! Take their camels for yourselves. Shout out to them: “Terror is everywhere!”
A dap neh a boiva te a rhawt pa uh ni. A himbaiyan neh a hnopai boeih khaw, amamih ham a kalauk neh a phueih uh vetih amih te a kaepvai ah rhihnah neh a doek uh ni.
30 Run! Get away as far as you can! Find somewhere to hide, people of Hazor, declares the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has made plans to attack and destroy you.
Hazor khosak rhoek loh khosak ham rhaelrham lamtah muelh rhaehba khing mai laeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar te nang soah a cilsuep a uen tih a kopoek neh nang soah amih te a moeh.
31 Go and attack that self-satisfied nation that thinks it's safe, declares the Lord. They don't have any barred gates and have no allies.
Thoo uh lamtah thayoeituipan neh ngaikhuek la aka om namtom te paan uh laeh. Amah bueng te kho a sak uh dongah thohkhaih om pawt tih thohkalh khaw om pawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
32 Their camels and large herds will be plunder for you. I will scatter them everywhere, these desert people who trim their hair on the sides of their heads. I will bring disaster down on them from all directions, declares the Lord.
A kalauk te maeh la, a boiva boeih te kutbuem la poeh ni. Baengki aka kuet khaw khohli cungkuem taengah ka thaek ni. Amih kah rhainah te kaepvai rhalvangan boeih lamloh ka thoeng sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals live, a place abandoned forever. No one will live there; it will become uninhabited.
Hazor khaw kumhal kah khopong pongui kah khuirhung la poeh ni. Teah te hlang loh khosa pawt vetih a khuiah hlang capa khaw bakuep mahpawh.
34 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam. This was at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
Judah manghai Zedekiah a ram a tongcuek vaengah Elam ham BOEIPA ol te tonghma Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
35 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Look! I'm going to smash the bows of the Elamites, the weapon they rely on for their power.
“Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Elam kah a thayung thamal vueilue lii te ka khaem coeng he.
36 I will bring winds from all directions to attack Elam, and I will scatter them in all directions. There won't be a nation that doesn't have some of Elam's exiles.
Vaan khobawt pali lamkah khohli pali te Elam taengla ka khuen ni. Te khohli cungkuem taengla amih te ka thaek vetih namtom hmuen khaw om mahpawh. Te kah te Elam khuiah Elam kah a heh long pataeng a pha moenih.
37 I will smash the Elamites in front of their enemies, before those who want to kill them. In my furious anger I will bring disaster down on them, declares the Lord. I will chase them down with the sword until I have destroyed them.
Elam te a thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh neh a hinglu aka toem rhoek mikhmuh ah ka rhihyawp sak ni. Ka thintoek thinsa te amih soah yoethae la ka thoeng sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih ka khah duela amih hnukah cunghang neh ka tueih ni.
38 I will set up my throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials, declares the Lord.
Elam ah ka ngolkhoel ka hol vetih te lamkah manghai neh mangpa rhoek te ka milh sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
39 However, later on I will bring the Elamites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Tedae hmailong kah khohnin a pha vaengah Elam kah thongtla, thongtla te ka mael rhoe ka mael sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni,” a ti.
