< Jeremiah 46 >
1 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
BOEIPA ol he Namtom ham tonghma Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah a kum li dongah Perath tuiva kaep aha aka om tih, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a ngawn Karkhemish kah Egypt manghai Pharaoh Neko kah caem sokah Egypt kawng ni.
3 Make ready buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
Photlingca neh photlinglen neh rhongpai uh lamtah caemtloek ham thoeih uh laeh.
4 Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
Marhang te khit uh lamtah marhang caem khaw cet laeh saeh. Lumuek neh pai uh lamtah cai te met uh laeh. Caempho te bai uh laeh.
5 Wherefore do I see them dismayed and turned backward? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and they are fled apace, and look not back; terror is on every side, saith the LORD.
Balae tih a paep neh a hnuk la aka balkhong te ka hmuh. Amih kah hlangrhalh rhoek khaw dae uh tih thuhaelhnah khuila rhaelrham uh coeng. Te dongah kaepvai kah rhihnah te mael uh thil pawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
6 The swift cannot flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen.
Kapyang khaw rhaelrham thai pawt tih hlangrhalh khaw loeih thai pawh. Tlangpuei kah Perath tuiva hmoi ah paloe uh tih cungku uh.
7 Who is this like the Nile that riseth up, like the rivers whose waters toss themselves?
Sokko bangla aka phul tih tuiva tui bangla aka tuen he unim?
8 Egypt is like the Nile that riseth up, and like the rivers whose waters toss themselves; and he saith: 'I will rise up, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.'
Egypt tah sokko bangla phul tih tuiva tui bangla tuen. Te dongah, “Ka cet vetih diklai he ka khuk ni. Khopuei neh a khuikah khosa rhoek khaw ka milh sak ni,” a ti.
9 Prance, ye horses, and rush madly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, that handle the shield, and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow.
Marhang rhoek te cet lamtah leng rhoek te yan uh laeh. Kusah hlangrhalh rhoek neh photlingca aka pom Put rhoek khaw, lii nuen ham aka tu Ludim rhoek khaw cet uh laeh.
10 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall have on that day a day of vengeance, that He may avenge Him of His adversaries; and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall be made drunk with their blood; for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
Tedae te khohnin tah, ka Boeipa Caempuei Yahovah kah a rhal rhoek taengah phuloh ham tawnlohnah khohnin coeng ni. Te dongah ka Boeipa Caempuei Yahovah taengkah hmueih la tlangpuei khohmuen Perath tuiva ah cunghang loh a cawk vetih amih thii neh a hah la hmilhmal ni.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt; in vain dost thou use many medicines; there is no cure for thee.
Egypt nu, oila, Gilead la cet lamtah thingpi te lo laeh. Si tah a poeyoek la na puh na puh sak tih na saibawnnah hae moenih.
12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and the earth is full of thy cry; for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.
Na yah te namtom loh a yaak vetih na henah te diklai ah khawk ni. Hlangrhalh soah hlangrhalh khaw paloe uh rhoi vetih a rhenten la cungku rhoi ni.
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh Egypt khohmuen tloek ham ha pawk vaengah he ol he BOEIPA loh tonghma Jeremiah taengah a thui.
14 Declare ye in Egypt, and announce in Migdol, and announce in Noph and in Tahpanhes; say ye: 'Stand forth, and prepare thee, for the sword hath devoured round about thee.'
Egypt taengah puen lamtah Migdol ah khaw yaak sak. Noph neh Tahpanhes ah khaw yaak sak. “Pai uh lamtah namah ham rhuengphong laeh, na kaepvai te cunghang loh a cawk coeng,” ti nah.
15 Why is thy strong one overthrown? He stood not, because the LORD did thrust him down.
Aka lueng nang te balae tih ng'kawt mai eh? Anih te BOEIPA loh a thaek vetih pai tloel ni.
16 He made many to stumble; yea, they fell one upon another, and said: 'Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.'
Hlang loh a hui soah a cungku khaw paloe neh a khoep hae. Te dongah, “Thoo lamtah cunghang kah a vuelvaek hman ah mah pilnam taeng neh mah pacaboeina kah khohmuen la mael sih,” a ti uh ni.
17 They cried there: 'Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by.'
“Tingtunnah aka paan tah longlonah Egypt manghai Pharaoh,” tila hnap a hoe uh ni.
18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
Kai hingnah manghai olphong tah a ming khaw caempuei BOEIPA ni. Te dongah tlang ah Tabor bangla, tuitunli ah Karmel bangla ha pawk ni.
19 O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Noph shall become a desolation, and shall be laid waste, without inhabitant.
Egypt nu taengkah khosa loh namah ham vangsawn hnopai te saii laeh. Noph te imsuep la om vetih khosa a om pawt hil a hnueih ni.
20 Egypt is a very fair heifer; but the gadfly out of the north is come, it is come.
Egypt bawnthen vaito aw tlangpuei lamkah pilyang ha pawk rhoe ha pawk coeng.
21 Also her mercenaries in the midst of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
A kutloh rhoek khaw a kotak ah vaitoca bangla toitup. Amih te oeih, hoilae uh vetih rhenten rhaelrham uh ni. Amih kah rhainah khohnin ah a cawhnah tue loh amih a thoeng thil coeng dongah pai uh mahpawh.
22 The sound thereof shall go like the serpent's; for they march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
A ol te rhul a colh vaengkah bangla, caem rhoek a khong vaengkah bangla, om tih hai neh thing top bangla anih taengah thoeih uh ni.
23 They cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. A duup te a hum pah ni. Kaisih lakah khaw a puh dongah hoem lek pawt tih amih te tae lek pawh.
24 The daughter of Egypt is put to shame; she is delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
Tlangpuei pilnam kut ah a paek vaengah Egypt nu te yak bitni.
25 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and them that trust in him;
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “No kah Amon neh Pharaoh, Egypt khaw, a pathen neh a manghai khaw, Pharaoh neh anih soah aka pangtung boeih te ka cawh coeng.
26 and I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.
Amih te a hinglu aka toem kut ah, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut ah, anih kah sal kut ah ka tloeng ni. Tedae he phoeiah ni hlamat kum kah bangla kho a sak eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
27 But fear not thou, O Jacob My servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel; for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
Ka sal Jakob nang rhih boel lamtah Israel nang khaw rhihyawp boel saeh. Nang te khohla lamloh, na tiingan te a tamna khohmuen lamloh ka khang coeng ne. Te dongah Jakob ha mael vetih mong vetih rhalthal pawn ni. Te vaengah lakueng voel mahpawh.
28 Fear not thou, O Jacob My servant, saith the LORD, for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; and I will correct thee in measure, but will not utterly destroy thee.
Ka sal Jakob nang rhih boeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nang taengah ka om tih namtom boeih kah a boeihnah te ka khueh coeng. Te ah te nang kang heh cakhaw nang kah a bawtnah te ka saii moenih. Nang te tiktamnah neh kan thuituen vetih nang te kam hmil rhoe kam hmil mahpawh.
