Jeremiah 48
1 This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
Moab chung chang thudol’a, Thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Ohe, Nebo mite, iti nadau hitam! Nakhopiu kisumang ding ahitai. Kiriathaim khomite akijumson, akhopiu min atouphatai. Akulpia dettah chu akiphelhan, ajumtauve.
2 No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
Koiman avel a, Moab loupina aphah poh louding ahitai. Ajeh chu Herbon a Moab suhmang dinga tohgon aum e. Amahon, aseiyun, Hungin namkhat ahinauva kon in sumang u hite. Mingol khopi chu kisuthip del’a, chulai mun’a chu chemjam in ajuiding ahi, atiuve.
3 Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
Horonaim kho’a ka ogin khu ngaiyun, Hesohna leh manthahna nasatah ka ogin ahi.
4 [All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
Moab suhmang in aumtai. Aka ogin’u, Zoar geiyin akijai!
5 They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
Gal jamho chu kap pum pum in Luhith jon’in akaltouvun, kicha tah in akap uvin, Horonaim jon in kappum in akumsoh uve.
6 [Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
Na kihinso nadiuvin jam’un! Gammang lah’a gakisel uvin!
7 But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
Ijeh inem itile, nanghon nahaosat nauleh nathepnau nakisonpi jeh uva, nangho sohchanga nakikaimang diu ahi.
8 All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
Khopi jouse abon’a kisumang ding, Thinglhang leh phaicham’a kon’a koima cha ajamdoh umlou hel’a kisugam ding ahi, tia Pakaiyin aseisa ahitai.
9 Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
Ohe, Moab in lhaving ana neitave leh, ama chu lengmang jel tante. Ajeh chu akhopi jouse ahomkeova kijam’a, koima achengding umtalou ahitai.
10 Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
Pakai thua natoh ding donloupa chu gaosap changhen! Chule chemjam nungtuh kih’a, thisan soloupa chu gaosap chang hen!
11 [The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
Khanglui apat Moab chu lungmonga cheng a, sohchanga kikai mang khalou ahi. Ama chu bel khat a kon’a beldang khat a kilhei le le lou, kitungdet chet lengpitwi tobang ahi. Anam jong twitah leh namselou hoisel ahi.
12 But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Phat ahunglhung’e, keiman mi kasol ding, amaho chu Moab mite chu belsung’a kon’a alheilhah uva, chuteng abeljong avohgoi diu ahitai,” ati.
13 Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
Chutahle, Israel mite Bethel a ajachat bang uva, Moab mite jong a pathen’u Chemosh chunga jumna akimudiu ahi.
14 [The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
Vo Moab mite, nanghon kiletsah tah in, keiho gal hangte kahiuve, tin nakihatsah uve.
15 But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
Ahinla, Moab khopi jouse akisumang tai. Akineppiu khangdong ho jouse alhu lham un, athatgamtauve, tin Lengpa Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseiye.
16 Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
Moab mite manthahna chu gangtah in ahunglhung e. Tijat umtah hamsetna chu ahunglhung’e.
17 You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
Moab mite chenkhompi ho nanghon ka piuvin, lunghem piuvin, veuvin lengvaipohna thahatttah chu akehtan, chule lengpa tenggol hoitah jong akihehbong tai.
18 You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
Vo Dibon mite, naloupinauva kon’in hung kum lhauvin, vutlah’a hung touvun. Ajeh chu Moab sumangpa chu Dibon jong asuhmang tha ding, chule nakulpi jouseu jong asuhmang tha ding ahi.
19 You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
Aroer mite, lampi pam’a dingun lang, ngah uvin. Moab akon hung jamdoh hochu dongun, ipi thilsoh umham, dongtoh uvin.
20 [They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
Moab chu ahomkeovin akijam in, miho vetda achangtai. Arnor vadung panga gaseiphong un, Moab akisumang tai.
21 [Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
Phaicham gam khopi ho, Holon leh Jahaz chuld Mephaath chunga thutanna alhungtai.
22 Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
Dibon leh Nebo chule Beth-diblathaim chunga,
23 Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
Kiriathaim le Bethgamul, chule Bethmeon chunga,
24 Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
Kerioth leh Bozrah chule gamla leh naiya um Moab khopi ho jouse chunga, lhungsoh ahitai.
25 Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
Moab thahat akisubei tan, Akhutjong akiheh bongtai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
26 [You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
Ama chu jukham lhu banga tollhanga kiseplhuding, Ajeh chu ama akichoisangin, Pathen adouve. Moab hi, alohlhah sa lah’a kibolding, mihon akidah uva anuisat diu ahi.
27 You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
Vo Moab, nangin Israel mite nadaithanga musittah’a nabol chu geldoh in! Gucha toh kimatkhom tha banga, noise tah’a nabol hilou ham?
28 You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
Vo Moab mite, nakhopiu dalhauvin lang jamdoh un, songko lah’a gacheng uvin. Songpi khi lah a vakhu in bu asah bangin, nangho jong ga um uvin.
29 We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
Moab akilitsah behseh jenge, Akilitsahna ho jouse kajasohtai. Ama hi ahoitholheh jengin, ama leh ama akichoisangin, ipi agel hitam?
30 But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Keiman ama hoithona abon'in kahen, akilitsahna leh ahoithona jouse jong ahomkeo leh pannabei ahibouve,” ati.
31 So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
Hijeh chun. tun Moab mite dingin kap ingting, pul dou inge. Chule Kir-hareseth mite dinjong kalung hemsah inge.
32 You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
Vo Sibmah mite, Jazer mite chunga kakana sangin, nangho din hakan kap inge. Naphattheinau lenglipei ho chu abahho twikhanglen pang geiya jamlut ahin; Ahivangin, abonchan misumang pachun asumang hel in, nipilai theiga holeh lengpiga ho jouse abon'in asumang tai.
33 But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
Moab gamsunga, nopna leh kipana jouse abeisohtai. Lengpitwi chilna mun’a jong lengpitwi akangtai. Lengpitwi lhoh’a pangho jong koima kipahtah’a a aodoh aumtapouve.
34 Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
Amavang tija tah’a aka ogin uchu, Heshbon kholeh Elealeh kho chule Jahaz kho geiyin, akijai. Zoar kholeh Horonaim kho chule Eglath-shelishyah kho geiyin aka gin’u akijadoh peh in ahi. Nimrim vadung twi jengjong akang liutai.
35 [I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Keiman Moa mite kasuhgam ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, hiche miten semthu pathen doiphunga kilhaina thilto abol uvin chule pathen dihlou chom chom ho ang’ah gimnamtwi ahal uvin ahi,” ati.
36 I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
Moab leh Kir-hareseth mite dingin, Mithi nikho’a theile kimutgin bangin, kalung hempi e. Ajeh chu anei agou jouseu abon'in abeisohtai.
37 The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
Amahon puldounan, alujang uleh abengmul u ahettol gam uvin; Akhut aki-at pop chet chut uvin, khaodip pon kisil in aumgamtauve.
38 In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
Khosung lamlen dung jouse leh Moab mite insung jouse chu, kana leh lhisona adimlha jengtai. Ajeh chu keiman Moab chu bel luisa kivochip banga kavohchip hel ahitai, ati.
39 Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
Itobang tah’a kivochiop hitam! Aka ogin’u khu ngaiyuvin, chule Moab jum le jana khu veuvin! Mitin dingin nuisat in aum uvin, aheng akom din kihilna bep in apangtauve.
40 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Vetan, mulaopi hung lenglha bangin, Moab chunga alhaving teni ajah in, melmapa chu ahung lenglha tai,” ati.
41 Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
Khopi jouse kilahpih ding, kulpi jouse jong kisuchim ding ahi. Moab mi gal-hang penjong, numei naoso nat thohlel banga umding ahi.
42 [The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
Moab in Pakai adoutah jeh in, Moab chu kisumang ding, namkhat ahina-a jong umjoulou diu ahitai.
43 [I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
“Vo Moab! Tijat leh thang kikam in navel aumkim ahitai,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
44 Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
Tija tah’a jamdoh pachu kokhuh’a lhalut ding; Kokhuh’a kon’a jamdoh pachu thangkol’a oh den ding: Ajeh chu nangma najamdoh louhel nading leh nachunga thutanna kaneikhum phat chu hunglhung ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
45 The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
Miho chu Heshbon kho geiyin ajam un, ahinlah akalval a achebe jou aumtapouve. Ajeh chu, Sihon lengpa vaihomna Heshbon khopia kon in mei ahung kongdoh in, Moab mite jouse leh agam pumpi chu meiyin akou jejutan ahi.
46 [You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
Vo Moab, ada nahitai! Chemosh doi pathen houte abon'in akisumangtai. Nachapate leh nachanute jouse sohchang in akikaimang sohtauve.
47 But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
Hijongle, keiman ninunung lamleh, Moab chu ahamphatna ding kasemphat kit ding, ahi tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
