< 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?
Ammon mite chung changa thuhil khat ahung kipen ahi. Hichi hi Pakai sei ahi: “Gad gam lodinga Israel son le pah umlou hitam? Molech hou ho nanghon epidinga khopi sunga na chensah uham?
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.
Nikho ho ahung lhun teng leh.” tin Pakaiyin aseijin, “Na khopiu Rabbah douna a gal ka kou ding ahi. Lahlou thil mangthah kiselom banga akhopiu chu gam hel ding, chuleh akimvela kho ho jong kihal lhasoh keiding ahi. Chuteng Israel te gam analah peh uchu aki nung lah diu ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije.
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.
“Aw Heshbon, kap doh in, ajeh chu Ai khopi chu akisumang heltai. Kap un, Aw Rabbah mite! Lunghemna von chu kivonun, kap unlang peng uvin, Pal dunga chun kiselun, ajeh chu na Pathen un Molech, chule athempu holeh vaihom lamkai ho ada adoi uva gamla tah muna akai mang diu ahi.
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?”
Na phaicham leiphat lai na kiletsahpi uvin ahi, hichi ho jong chu hung mangtha ding ahi. Tahsanlhom nu, nanei nagou a na kisongin koiman ima eilothei ponte tin na ngaiton ahi.
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.
Ahin ven! Tijat umtah nachunga kahin lhunsah ding, tin Pakai thaneitah chun aseije; naheng na kimvel a chenghon nagam a konin nahin deldoh diu, chule nakino mang naa kona koiman nahuh lou ding, ama ho jeng jong jamcheh diu ahi.
6 However, later on I will bring you Ammonites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Ahin keiman Ammon mite haosatna ka le tundoh peh kitding ahi, “Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahi.”
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 chung changa hichi thuhil hi ahung ki pen ahi, Thaneitah Pakai in hitin aseije: “Teman mi a chihna umlou va ham? Miching mihilchah ding khat jong umlou hel hitam?”
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.
Kihei unlang jammang un! Dedan mite leiko thuh hoa kisel uvin, ajeh chu vangset na nasatah Edom chunga kahin lhut tengleh nang jong gotna ka peh tha ding ahi!
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?
Lengpi thei ga kholtup hon, vaicha te din themkhat adalha jiuvin ahi. Janteng guchahon abonin agudoh jipouve.
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.
Ahin Edom gam chu ngemsela kalha ding ahi. Chule agam sunga kiselna ding munneo khat jeng cha jong umlou ding ahi. Achateu asopiu pasal ho, chule aheng akom hou jouse suhmanga umding ahin, Edom jeng jong umlou ding ahitai.
11 However, you can leave your orphans to me because I will protect them. Have your widows put their trust in me.
“Ahin keiman nalah uva umnalai naochaga ho chu kavenbit ding ahi. Na meithai hou jong kachunga kithopi dia kingai thei ahiuve.”
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.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei chu ahi, “Mona neilou in athohgim mong ding ahileh, nangin ajat ja na thohgim dading ham! Gotna chang louva naum louding ahi! Thutanna khon a nadon tei ding ahi!” ati.
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.
Ajeh chu Keima min panna kaki hahsel ahi, tin Pakai in aseije, “Bozrah, tijat umna mun leh a mangthai di thilho khoptup na mun hung soh ding: Sapset le nuisatna hung umding ahi. A khopi sung uleh akholai hoa itih a dinga mangthah diu ahitai.”
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!
Pakai koma thuhil khat kajan, hichu: chi le nam ho henga palai ahung kisolin, “Edom dounan kipum khom unlang galsat din kigosa demin umun!”
15 Watch as I will make you insignificant compared to other nations—everyone will look down on you.
Pakaiyin Edom henga aseijin, “Chitin namtin lah a neocha kahin soding, mijouse thet a nahung umding ahi,” ati.
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.
Midang kichat naa na thumop chun nang le nang naki lheplhah sah tan, chule na ki letsah nan lheplhah na umtam ahi. Molsang sang tah ho lah a songpi kulsunga na chengin ahi. Ahin Muvanlai bangin lhang leh a buh sajong lechun, ka tahlhah ding nahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije.
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 chu tijat umtah khat hung hi ding ahi. A lamlha jouse kicha uvintin, akisuh mang muho chu tijatnaa dimdiu ahi.
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 leh Gomorrah chule akimvel’a um khoho kisumanggam tobang ding ahi.” Tin Pakai in aseije, “Koima chenglou ding, koima chan alo lou ding ahi.”
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?
Keipi bahkai Jordan gammang a kona kelngoi abahkhum banga ka hung ding ahi. Edom gam sunga kona kadel doh ding, chule keima deidan a lamkai khat kapoh sah ding ahi. Ajeh chu kei to koi kibanga, chule koiham eichou dinga? Kalungdei a koivaihom naa adoudal ding umham?
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.
Ngaijin, Edom leh Teman mite dounaa Pakai thilgon hohi. Chapang neocha hogeija kelngol banga kikai thangding, chuleh a chennau in hojong kisumang soh hel ding ahi.
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.
Edom lhuh gin achu leiset chung kithing intin, hesoh gentheija ka-na chu twikhanglen sangdung geija kijapha ding ahi.
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.
Ven! Melma chu, Muvanlai in alha ajal a ahung lenlhah banga, Bozrah chu mandinga gangtah a hung leng suh ding ahi. Galhang hattah ho jeng jong numei naoso nat tobanga tasa gimna anei diu ahi.
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.
Damascus chung changa hitin thuhil ahung kipen ahi. Hiti hin Pakaiyin aseije: Hamath le Arpad khopi ho kichat tijatnan adim in, ajeh chu suhmanga aum thusoh chu ajaovin ahi. Twikhanglen'a hui le go hattah nun bangin alungsung’u jong aki chol tapouvin ahi.
24 The people of Damascus are demoralized—they turn and run away in panic, overcome by pain and anguish like a woman in labor.
Damascus atha ahung lhasam tan, amite jouse jam din aum tauvin, numei naosonat kituh chah bangin, atuhchah tan ahi.
25 Why isn't the city that is praised deserted, the city that made me happy?
“Hiche khopi minthang, kipana khopi chu nungsun a umding ahi tai!
26 For on that day its young men will die in its streets, all its defenders will be killed, declares the Lord of Hosts.
A khangdong hou jong lamlen na lhu untin thidiu ahi. Asepai jouseu kithat gamhel diu ahi,” tin thaneitah Pakai chun aseije.
27 I'm going to set fire to the walls of Damascus; that will burn down the fortresses of Ben-hadad.
“Chule Damascus khopi bangho meiya ka hal ding, Ben-Hadad leng inpi ho kahal lhah ding ahi.”
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!
Kedar le Hazor lenggam teni, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in asat chung changa thuhil khat ahung kipen ahi. Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi! “Kedar chu nailut un! Solam a konin agollhang hou chu sumang un!
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 gancha houle a khoilu pon jouseo hung kilah peh untin, anei agou le asangongsao hou hung kilah peh diu ahi. Muntin a kichat na thubou kithanga kija ding, aki heina jou seuva kichat naa dim diu ahi.”
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.
Naki hinso nadiu vin jam uvin, tin Pakaiyin aseije, “Leiko thuh a kiseluvin nang ho Hazor mite, ajeh chu Babylon leng Nebuchadnezzar in nang ho douna le nangho suhmang dingin kigosan aum tai.”
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.
“Chetou unlang hiche nomsate khu ga sat un,” tin Pakaiyin aseije, “A miteu achang seh un kot le bang jong umlou nelgam a achengun ahi.
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 sangongsao houleh agancha hou abonna nanghoa hiding ahi. Keiman amaho hi huilah’a kathe mangding, mun gamla tah tah a cheng hohi muntin’a kon’a vangsetna achung'uva kalhun sah ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals live, a place abandoned forever. No one will live there; it will become uninhabited.
“Hazor chu Sial hon chennan hin neijuntin, aitih a mihem koima cheng talou ding ahi. Hilai mun a chu koima cheng talou ding, koiman alo lou ding ahi.”
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.
Elam chung chang thuhil khat themgao Jeremiah henga Judah Lengpa Zedekiah vaihom lai in, Pakaiya konin ahung in ahi.
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.
Hiche hi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi: “Keiman Elam te thalkap themho kasuhmang ding – agal sat-hou lah’a ahangsan pen,
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.
melmaho muntin’a kon a kahin puilut ding, Elam mite chu van thamjol ning li a kona hui a kathe mang ding ahi. Vannoi gamtin a kona kaidoh a umdiu ahi.
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.
Keima tah jong Elam melma hotoh kache khom a asukeh lah a kajao ding ahi. Ka lung satna kona manthahna lentah Elam mite chunga kahin lhut ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije. “Kasuhmang hel masanga amelmateu vin chemjama adeldiu ahi.
38 I will set up my throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials, declares the Lord.
Elam a ka Laltouna kadoding,” tin Pakaiyin aseije. “Chule Keiman alengpao le avaihom hou kasuhmang ding ahi.”
39 However, later on I will bring the Elamites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Ahin phat ho ahung lhun tengle, Elam haosatna ka tundoh kitding ahi, Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahi.
