< Jeremiah 46 >

1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
BOEIPA ol he Namtom ham tonghma Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 for Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that has been by the Euphrates River, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 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 “Set shield and buckler in array, And draw near to battle.
Photlingca neh photlinglen neh rhongpai uh lamtah caemtloek ham thoeih uh laeh.
4 Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, 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 Why have I seen them dismayed [and] turned backward? And their mighty ones are beaten down, And they have fled [to] a refuge, And did not turn their face, Fear [is] all around—a declaration of YHWH.
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 do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the Euphrates River, They have 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? He comes up as a flood, His waters shake themselves as rivers!
Sokko bangla aka phul tih tuiva tui bangla aka tuen he unim?
8 Egypt comes up as a flood, And the waters shake themselves as rivers. And he says, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
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 Go up, you horses; and boast yourselves, you chariots, And go forth, you mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling—treading 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 And that day [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword has devoured, and been satisfied, And it has been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
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 to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, You have multiplied medicines in vain, There is no healing for you.
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 Nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land, For the mighty stumbled on the mighty, Together they have fallen—both of them!”
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 YHWH has spoken to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to strike 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 in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, And sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, say, Stand firm and prepare yourself, For a sword has devoured around you,
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 has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because YHWH thrust him away.
Aka lueng nang te balae tih ng'kawt mai eh? Anih te BOEIPA loh a thaek vetih pai tloel ni.
16 He has multiplied the stumbling, Indeed, one has fallen on his neighbor, And they say: Rise, and we return to our people, And to the land of our birth, Because of 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 have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, The appointed time has passed by.
“Tingtunnah aka paan tah longlonah Egypt manghai Pharaoh,” tila hnap a hoe uh ni.
18 [As] I live—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea—he comes in,
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 Make goods for yourself for removal, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been burned up, 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 beautiful heifer, Destruction comes into her from the north.
Egypt bawnthen vaito aw tlangpuei lamkah pilyang ha pawk rhoe ha pawk coeng.
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity has come on them, The time of their inspection.
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 Its voice goes on as a serpent, For they go with a force, And they have come in to her with axes, As hewers of trees.
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 have cut down her forest, A declaration of YHWH, For it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
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 has been ashamed, She has been given into the hand of the people of the north.
Tlangpuei pilnam kut ah a paek vaengah Egypt nu te yak bitni.
25 YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, has said: Behold, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting 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 have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterward it is inhabited, As [in] days of old—a declaration of YHWH.
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 And you, you do not fear, My servant Jacob, Nor [are] you dismayed, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar—And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back, And has been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
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 You do not fear, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, For I [am] with you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have driven you, And I do not make an end of you, And I have reproved you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you!”
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.
