Jeremiah 46
1 These are messages that Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah about [other] nations.
Miphunnaw taranlahoi profet Jeremiah koe BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh,
2 After Jehoiakim, son of King Josiah, had been ruling Judah for almost four years, this message about Egypt was given [by Yahweh]. It was when the army of King Neco of Egypt was defeated by the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon along the Euphrates River. [This is what Yahweh said: “The officers of the army of Egypt are saying to their troops],
Izip taranlahoi Euphrates palang teng Karkhemish koe kaawm e Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim, Josiah capa a bawinae kum 4 nah Nebukhadnezar ni a thei e Izip siangpahrang Faro Neko ransahu kong dawk doeh.
3 ‘Prepare your shields and march out to fight the battle!
Saiphei kathoung hoi kalennaw kârakueng awh nateh tarantuknae koe pâtam awh.
4 Put harnesses on your horses, and get on their backs. (Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; put on your helmets. Sharpen your spears, and put on your armor!’
Marangnaw rakueng awh nateh, marangransanaw kâcui awh, rahum lukhung kâmuk awh nateh kacaklah kangdout awh, na tahroenaw kata awh nateh sumangki hah kho awh.
5 But what [RHQ] do I see? I see that the soldiers of Egypt will be terrified and will be fleeing. [Even] the bravest of their soldiers will be running away, without [even] looking backward! [I, ] Yahweh, say that [their soldiers] will be terrified on all sides!
Bangkongmaw hnuklah a ban awh teh a yawng awh. Ahnimae athakaawme taminaw teh rek a dei awh toe, a yawng awh teh hnuklah kangvawi awh hoeh, avoivang lahoi takithonae teh a tho telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
6 [Even] the fastest [runners] will try to run away, but [even the greatest of] their warriors will not escape. In the north, by the Euphrates [River], they will stumble and fall.
Ahue karangnaw yawng thai awh hoeh, athakaawme tami hlout kalawn hoeh, Euphrates palang atunglah a hmang awh teh he a rawp awh.
7 What group is this that will be covering the land like the water of the Nile [River] covers the land when it floods?
Apimaw tuikalen patetlah ka tho niteh, tuicapa patetlah ka thaw e heh apimaw.
8 [It is the army of] Egypt that will be covering the land like a surging/huge flood, and they will boast that they will cover the earth and will destroy cities and the people [who live in them].
Izip teh tuikalen patetlah a luen teh tuicapa ka thaw e patetlah ka len vaiteh talai pueng koung ka ramuk han, khopui hoi karingkungnaw koung ka raphoe han telah ati.
9 You [riders of] horses, charge/rush [into the battle]! You [drivers of] chariots, drive furiously! [All] you warriors from Ethiopia and Libya who carry your shields, you warriors from Lydia who shoot arrows, you come!
Oe marangnaw kamthoup awh haw, Oe ranglengnaw puenghoi kâroe awh haw, tami athakaawme taminaw hmalah hoe nawt awh, Ethiopia tami hoi Put tami saiphei kasinnaw licung ka ka thoum e Ludimnaw.
10 But, [you need to know that] this is the day when [I], Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, will get revenge on my enemies. With my sword [PRS] I will kill [my enemies] until I am satisfied; my sword will [be like a monster that] [MET, PRS] drinks the blood [of the animals it kills] until it is no longer thirsty. [The enemy soldiers who will be killed] in the north beside the Euphrates River [will be like] [MET] a sacrifice to [me], the Commander of the armies of angels.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnae hnin teh ransahu BAWIPA ni moipathungnae hnin, a tarannaw e lathueng moipathungnae hnin doeh. Tahloi ni he a ca vaiteh, a due awh han. Ahnimae thipaling teh ka boum lah a nei awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni atunglae ram Euphrates palang teng vah thuengnae hah a sak.
11 You people [IDM] of Egypt, go up to the Gilead [region] to obtain medicine; but it will be useless to take all those medicines; you will not be healed.
Oe Izip canu tanglakacuem, Gilead lah luen nateh, kâhluk e tâsi hah lat haw. Tâsi moikapap na la teh na hno ei, nang hanlah hawinae banghai awm hoeh.
12 [People in] the [other] nations will hear how you were humiliated. [People] all over the earth will hear you wailing. [Your mighty] warriors will stumble over each other and they will all fall down together.”
Miphunnaw ni yeiraiponae a thai awh teh na khuikanae ni ram dawk a kawisak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, athakaawme tami hoi athakaawme tami a kâtuk roi teh hmuen touh koe a rawp roi.
13 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message about King Nebuchadnezzar when he planned to attack Egypt [with his army]:
Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar a tho teh, Izip ram a tuk hane kong BAWIPA ni profet Jeremiah koe a dei e teh,
14 “Shout [this message] throughout Egypt! Proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpenes [cities]! ‘(Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; Prepare to defend yourselves, because [everyone] around you will be killed.’ [PRS, MTY]
Izip ram dawk dei awh, Migdol vah pathang awh, Noph hoi Tahpanhes dawk pâpho awh nateh, kacaklah kangdue laihoi kâhruetcuet awh. Bangtelah tetpawiteh, nang petkâkalup lah kaawmnaw tahloi ni a ca toe telah dei pouh awh.
15 Your god is a bull; Why does he fall down? He will not be able to stand up, because Yahweh will knock him down.
Bangkongmaw a thakasai e tami hah tâkhawng lah ao. BAWIPA ni a tanawt dawkvah kangdout thai awh hoeh.
16 The soldiers from other countries will stumble and fall over each other, and [then] they will say to each other, ‘Let’s get up and go back to our own people, to our own land. Let’s get away from the swords of our enemies!’
Tami moikapap a rawp sak. A kâcakhueng awh teh hmeng a rawp awh. Repcoungroenae tahloi hah yawngtakhai laihoi, tho awh ban awh lei sei, tâconae ram, mae taminaw koevah, telah ati awh.
17 There [in Egypt] they will say, ‘The king of Egypt talks loudly, but when our [army] had an opportunity [to defeat our enemies], they failed.’
Izip ram e Faro teh a kamthang dueng doeh a len. Hatei, atueng a baw toe, telah a hram awh.
18 [I, ] the King, who am called the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘As [surely as] I live, someone’s army will be coming [to fight against the army of Egypt]. They will be [extremely powerful], [as though they were as tall] as Tabor Hill, or [as high] as Carmel [Mountain] close to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
Kai ka hring e patetlah siangpahrang ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei. Monnaw thung hoi Tabor mon hoi tuipui teng e Karmel mon patetlah a tho roeroe han.
19 [All] you people who live in Egypt, pack your possessions/clothes and prepare to be exiled. Memphis [city] will be destroyed; it will become a ruin, and no one will be living there.
Oe nang canu! Izip ram dawk kho ka sak e, santoung hanlah kârakueng. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Noph hah ka raphoe vaiteh, kho ka sak e ao hoeh ditouh kingdi han.
20 Egypt is [like] [SIM] a beautiful young cow, but [the army of a powerful king] from the northeast will come to attack it [like] a horsefly [MET] [bites a cow].
Izip teh a mei kahawipoung e maitola doeh. Hatei, atunglae ram dawk hoi karaphoekung a tho toe.
21 The (mercenaries/soldiers [from other countries] who have been hired) will become like [SIM] fat calves; but they also will turn around and run away; they will not stand [there and fight], because it will be a day when there will be a [great] disaster in Egypt, a day when their people will be [greatly] punished.
A coun e ransanaw hah kaboumlah paca e maito patetlah doeh ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni hnuklah kamlang takhai teh kâhat laipalah a yawng awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae lathueng vah rawkphainae a tho teh reknae tueng lah ao.
22 [The soldiers of] Egypt will run away, as silently as a snake scurries/crawls away. [The army of] the enemy will advance; they will march along carrying their axes like [SIM] men who cut down trees.
Thing katâtuengnaw patetlah cakâ sin hoi tamihupui hoi a tho awh toteh, ahnie lawk teh tahrun phi e lawk patetlah ao han.
23 [I, ] Yahweh, say that they will kill the soldiers [of Egypt] as though [SIM] they were a forest of trees, because the enemy soldiers will be as numerous as [a swarm of] locusts.
Katin thai hoeh e ratu hah koung a tâtueng awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, samtong hlak a pap awh teh, touk thai lah awm hoeh.
24 The people of Egypt will be humiliated; they will be conquered by people from the northeast.’
Izip canu teh yeiraipo laihoi atunglae ramnaw e kut dawk poe lah ao han.
25 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israelis [worship], say, ‘I will punish Amon, [the god whom the people] of Thebes [city] worship, and [all] the [other] gods in Egypt. [I will punish] the King of Egypt and [all] those who trust in him.
Ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! No e Ammon hoi Faro, hahoi Izip hoi a cathutnaw hoi a siangpahrangnaw, Faro ama roeroe hoi ama ka kâuep e naw hah ka rek han.
26 I will cause them to be captured by those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, and his army officers. But many years later, people will live in Egypt again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’
Ahnimouh ka thet hane Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar hoi a thaw katawknaw e kut dawk ka poe han. Hatnae tueng dawk yampa e hnin patetlah panue e lah ao han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
27 But you people of Israel who serve me, do not be at all dismayed [DOU] now, because some day I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will again live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] to cause you to be terrified.
Hatei, Oe Jakop, kaie thaw katawkkung, taket hanh. Oe Isarel na lungpuen hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, khenhaw! lamhlanae koehoi na rungngang han. Na catounnaw hai santoungnae ram thung hoi ka rungngang han. Jakop teh a ban vaiteh, karoumcalah ao han, apinihai takinae poe mahoeh.
28 [I, ] Yahweh, say to you people of Israel who serve me, ‘Do not be afraid, because I will be with you. I will completely destroy the nations among whom I have scattered you, but I will not completely get rid of you. I will punish you, but I will punish you only as severely as you deserve: It would be wrong if I did not punish you at all.’”
Oe Jakop, ka san, taket hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai kama ni na okhai telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na pâleinae ramnaw pueng heh ka baw sak han. Hatei nang teh a pout totouh na pout sak mahoeh. Kalanlah na toun han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, rek laipalah na hlout sak mahoeh.
