Jeremiah 49
1 [This message is] about the Ammon people-group. This is what Yahweh says: “There are [RHQ] plenty of Israeli people left to occupy [the land of the tribe of] Gad. So, why are [RHQ] [the people who worship the god] Molech living in those 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 There will be a time when I will sound the battle-cry [for their enemies] to attack [their capital city], Rabbah. [Then] it will become a heap of ruins, and [all] the nearby towns will be burned. Then [the people of] Israel will again possess the land that the Ammon people-group took away from them.
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 You people of Heshbon [city] [MTY], wail, because Ai [town nearby] will be destroyed. You people of Rabbah [city], weep; put on (rough clothing/sackcloth) [to show you are mourning]; run back and forth [in confusion] inside the city walls, because [your god] Milcom, along with its priests and officials, will be taken away (in exile/to other countries).
“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 You are [RHQ] very proud of your very fertile valleys, [but they will soon be ruined]. You rebellious people, you trusted in your wealth, and you said, ‘Certainly no [RHQ] army will be able to 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 But listen to this: 'I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will cause you to become terrified. You will all be forced to flee [to other countries], and no one will be able to bring you 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 But some day I will enable the Ammon people-group to return to their land. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Ahin keiman Ammon mite haosatna ka le tundoh peh kitding ahi, “Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahi.”
7 [This message is] about the Edom people-group. This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “It seems that [RHQ] there are no wise people in Teman [district in Edom]! There are no people left who can give others [good] advice. The people who were wise [PRS] have disappeared.
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 You people of Dedan [city in the south of Edom], turn and flee and hide in deep [caves], because when I cause the Edom people-group to experience disaster, I will punish you, too.
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 Those who harvest grapes always [RHQ] leave some on the vines. When thieves come at night, they surely [RHQ] steal only as much as they want.
Lengpi thei ga kholtup hon, vaicha te din themkhat adalha jiuvin ahi. Janteng guchahon abonin agudoh jipouve.
10 But I will cause everything in Edom to be destroyed, and there will be nothing left, and there will be no place for people to hide. [Many of] [HYP] the children, their relatives and their neighbors, will die, and Edom will not exist any more.
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 But I will protect the orphans, and the widows [also] will [be able to] depend on me [to help them].”
“Ahin keiman nalah uva umnalai naochaga ho chu kavenbit ding ahi. Na meithai hou jong kachunga kithopi dia kingai thei ahiuve.”
12 And this is [also] what Yahweh says: “If those who do not deserve to suffer [MET] must suffer, you people of Edom must [RHQ] suffer much more [DOU]! You will not escape being punished.
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, Yahweh, have solemnly promised, using my own name, that [your chief city] Bozrah will become a place that people will be horrified about. It will be a heap of ruins. People will make fun of it and use its name when they curse people. All the nearby towns and villages will be a 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 heard this message from Yahweh: “I have sent an ambassador to [many] nations, [to tell them to] gather together to attack Edom. They must 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 [And Yahweh says to the people of Edom, ] “I will cause your nation to become very unimportant among the [other] nations. They will all despise your country.
Pakaiyin Edom henga aseijin, “Chitin namtin lah a neocha kahin soding, mijouse thet a nahung umding ahi,” ati.
16 You have caused [people of other nations] to be terrified, and you [MTY] have been very proud, but you have deceived yourselves. You live in caves in the rock cliffs; [you think that you are safe there because] you live high up there. But even if you make your homes as high up as the eagles’ nests, I will cause you to come [crashing] down.
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 Edom will become a place about which people are horrified; people who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) when they see the destruction.
Edom chu tijat umtah khat hung hi ding ahi. A lamlha jouse kicha uvintin, akisuh mang muho chu tijatnaa dimdiu ahi.
18 Edom will be destroyed as [completely as] Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns were destroyed [long ago]. [As a result, ] no one will live there [any more] [DOU].
“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 I will come to Edom [suddenly] like [SIM] a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are] eating in the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Edom from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them a leader whom I will choose; [I can do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can object to what I do. No ruler can 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 Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Teman [town] and [the rest of] Edom: Even the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely get rid of the people [MET] who live there.
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 Edom is destroyed, the noise [will be extremely great], with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard [as far away as] the Red Sea.
Edom lhuh gin achu leiset chung kithing intin, hesoh gentheija ka-na chu twikhanglen sangdung geija kijapha ding ahi.
22 Look! The enemy troops will swoop/rush down over Bozrah like an eagle spreads its wings when it swoops down [to seize an animal]. On that day, [even the strongest] warriors of Edom will [be afraid] like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.”
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 [This message is] about Damascus. [This is what Yahweh says]: “[The people in the nearby cities of] Hamath and Arpad are confused, because they have heard bad news [about Damascus]. They are very anxious and restless, like [SIM] a sea in a big storm.
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 have become very weak, and [they all] have (panicked/fled [because] they are very afraid). The people are anguished and in pain like [SIM] a woman [experiences] who is about to give birth.
Damascus atha ahung lhasam tan, amite jouse jam din aum tauvin, numei naosonat kituh chah bangin, atuhchah tan ahi.
25 That famous city, that I was [previously] pleased with, will be abandoned.
“Hiche khopi minthang, kipana khopi chu nungsun a umding ahi tai!
26 Its young men will fall in the streets. Its soldiers will all be killed in one day.
A khangdong hou jong lamlen na lhu untin thidiu ahi. Asepai jouseu kithat gamhel diu ahi,” tin thaneitah Pakai chun aseije.
27 And I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will start a fire to burn the walls that surround Damascus, and the palaces of [King] Ben-Hadad will be burned down.”
“Chule Damascus khopi bangho meiya ka hal ding, Ben-Hadad leng inpi ho kahal lhah ding ahi.”
28 [This is a message] about the Kedar [people-group] and the kingdom of Hazor which [the army of] Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon attacked. This is what Yahweh says: “[I will cause an army to] advance to attack Kedar and destroy those people who live east [of Judah].
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 Their tents and their flocks [of sheep] will be captured. The curtains [in their tents] and their camels and their other possessions will be taken away. [Everywhere] men will shout, ‘We are terrified [because terrible things are happening] all around us!’
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 So [I, ] Yahweh, say, ‘Run away [quickly]! You people who live in Hazor, go and hide in deep [caves], because King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon wants to attack you [with his army]; he is planning to 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 But I say [to Nebuchadnezzar], ‘Go up and attack that nation whose people feel secure; they do not have allies [who will help them] and do not have [walls with] gates that have bars in them.
“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 Your troops will seize their camels and [other] livestock. I will scatter in every direction [IDM] those people who live in remote places (OR, who cut their hair short). I will cause them to experience disasters from every direction.
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/wolves live, and it will be deserted forever. No one will live there again; no one will settle there [DOU].’”
“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 I received this message from Yahweh when King Zedekiah was starting to rule 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 Commander of the armies of angels says: “The men of Elam are famous (archers/men who shoot arrows well); that is how they have made their country very powerful. But I will get rid of them [MET].
Hiche hi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi: “Keiman Elam te thalkap themho kasuhmang ding – agal sat-hou lah’a ahangsan pen,
36 I will bring their enemies from all directions [IDM, DOU], and they will scatter the people of Elam in all directions. The people of Elam will be exiled to every nation on the earth [LIT, HYP].
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 Because I am very angry with the people of Elam, I will enable their enemies to smash Elam; I will cause the people of Elam to experience great disasters. I will enable their enemies, who want to kill them, to pursue them [and kill them] with swords until I completely get rid of all of 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, Yahweh, will judge them there [MTY], and [then] I will get rid of their king and [his] officials.
Elam a ka Laltouna kadoding,” tin Pakaiyin aseije. “Chule Keiman alengpao le avaihom hou kasuhmang ding ahi.”
39 But some day, I will enable the people of Elam to return to their land. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Ahin phat ho ahung lhun tengle, Elam haosatna ka tundoh kitding ahi, Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahi.
