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?
Ammonnaw taranlahoi BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Isarel ni capa tawn hoeh na maw. Râw ka pang hane awm hoeh na maw. Bangkongmaw Gad hah Milkom ni a ring teh a taminaw a khopui dawk kho a sak awh.
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.
Hatdawkvah khenhaw! atueng pha tawmlei toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Rabbah e Ammon taminaw koe tarantuk kâhruetcuetnae kamthang ka thaisak han. Kingdi la awm vaiteh, a khonaw hmai ni a kak han. Hattoteh Isarel ni a tawn e hno hah a pang han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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).
Oe Heshbon hramki haw, khuikap haw, Rabbah canunaw khuikap awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Milkom teh a vaihma hoi a bawinaw hoi san lah ceikhai e lah ao han.
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!’
Bangkongmaw na tanghling na kâoupkhai, Oe yuemkamcuhoeh e napui, na tawn e hnokahawi na kâuep teh, apinimaw na tuk han telah ouk na ti.
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].'
Khenhaw! na tengpam e taminaw thung hoi na lathueng takinae ka pha sak han, telah Bawipa ransahu Jehovah ni a dei. Taminaw pueng he pâlei e lah awm vaiteh, kayawngnaw hah apinihai bout pâkhueng mahoeh.
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.”
Hatei, hote hnonaw hnukkhu Ammon catounnaw hah santoungnae dawk hoi ka bankhai han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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 taranlahoi ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Teman dawk lungangnae abaw toung maw. Khokhang kathoum e khokhangnae abaw toung maw. Lungangnae a kahma toung maw.
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.
Oe Dedan vah kho ka sak e taminaw yawng awh. Bout ban awh nateh, kadungpoung e koe khosak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ka rek navah, Esaw rawkphainae a lathueng ka pha sak han.
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.
Misurpaw ka khi e tami nang koe tho pawiteh, pâhma e ao han nahoehmaw. Tangmin vah tami ka parawt tho pawiteh, a ngai e yit touh a hmu hoehroukrak a tawng han nahoehmaw.
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.
Hatei, Esaw teh tak caici lah ka o sak toe. A paten e hah ka hawng pouh toe, hrawk thai mahoeh toe. A catounnaw hoi a hmaunawngha, imrinaw hoi raphoe lah ao vaiteh a ma hai a rawk han.
11 But I will protect the orphans, and the widows [also] will [be able to] depend on me [to help them].”
Na pa ka tawn hoeh e camo hah, pouk awh hanh, kai ni ka kountouk han. Na lahmainaw ni kai na kâuep awh naseh.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! manang ka net hoeh e tami patenghai parui pawiteh, nang rek laipalah na hlout han namaw, rek laipalah na hlout mahoeh, na nei roeroe han.
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.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni mahoima e min noe lahoi thoe a kâbo toe. Bozrah teh tami ni kângairu e, pathoe e, kingdi e, lawkthoeumkha bap e lah awm vaiteh, khonaw pueng hai yungyoe hoi raphoe e lah ao han.
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!”
BAWIPA koehoi pâpho lawk ka thai toe. Miphunnaw koe laicei ka patoun. Kâcoun awh nateh, ama taranlahoi tarantuk hanlah kârakueng awh.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, miphunnaw thung hoi taminaw ni hnephnap hanlah ka sak toe.
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.
Takitho e na meilam hah teh na lungthin kâoupnae hoi na kâdum e doeh. Oe nang lungha rahak monsom kho na ka sak e tami, mataw patetlah ka rasangpoung koe tabu na tawn ei nakunghai, hate hmuen koehoi na pabo roeroe han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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 teh kângairu e lah awm vaiteh, voivang ka cet e taminaw ni kângairu telah ati awh vaiteh, ka raphoekungnaw hanlah a kam khuem awh mahoeh.
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 hoi Gomorrah hoi a tengpam e khopuinaw raphoe e patetlah apihai khosak mahoeh toe. Tami ca apihai hawvah awm mahoeh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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.
Khenhaw! Jordan tanghling ratu thung hoi sendek saring thanae hmuen koe ka luen e patetlah a tho han. Hatei ahni koehoi ahnimouh teh tang ka yawng sak han. A lathueng vah kâtawn hanlah ka rawi e hah ka pouk thai nahanelah, kai patetlae apimaw kaawm. Apipatet ni maw kaie tueng a khoe thai han. Tukhoumkung apipatet maw ka hmalah kangdout thai han.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Edom e lathueng BAWIPA ni pouknae hoi Teman taminaw lathueng a pouknae sak han a kâcai e naw hah thai awh haw. Saringnaw thung hoi kanawca e hah la e lah awm vaiteh, raphoe han, a pawngpanae hai kingdi han.
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.
A rawpnae pawlawk ni talai a kâhuet teh a khuikanae pawlawk teh tuipui paling koehoi hai thai e lah ao.
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.”
Khenhaw mataw patetlah luen laihoi a kamleng vaiteh, Bozrah e lathueng rathei a kadai han. Hatnae hnin navah Edom tami tarankahawinaw e lungthin teh camo kaawm tawmlei e ni ka pataw e lungthin patetlah ao han.
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.
Damaskas tarannae lawk, Hamath hoi Arpad teh kahawihoehe kamthang a thai roi dawkvah, kaya teh lungpout laihoi ao roi, talîpui totouh lungpuennae ao dawkvah, roumnae koe phat thai hoeh.
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.
Damaskas teh thayung tawn hoeh toe, yawng han a kâcai ei takinae ni a man, napui patawnae ni a man e patetlah lungmathoenae hoi patawnae ni a man.
25 That famous city, that I was [previously] pleased with, will be abandoned.
Khopui min kamthangnae hoi nawmnae teh bangkong kingdi bo aw.
26 Its young men will fall in the streets. Its soldiers will all be killed in one day.
Hatdawkvah, hote hnin dawk nawsai naw ni lam dawk a rawp awh vaiteh, taran ka tuk e tongpanaw pueng a kâhmo awh han, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei.
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.”
Hahoi Damaskas kalup e rapan dawk hoi hmai ka tâco sak vaiteh, Benhadad im he a kak han.
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].
Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ka tuk e Kedar hoi Hazar uknaeram taranlahoi BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Thaw, Kedar lah luen, Kanîtholae tami capanaw hah tuk awh.
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!’
Rim hoi saringnaw a ceikhai awh han. Lukkareirimnaw amamouh hanlah he a la awh han, a hnopainaw hoi kalauknaw a ceikhai awh han. Hote hnonaw dawk kap awh vaiteh, tengpam vah takinae ao.
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!’
Yawng awh nateh, ahla poungnae koe cet awh. Oe Hazar dawk kho ka sak e taminaw, adungnae koe kho sak awh telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh taranlahoi Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni kho a khang teh, nangmouh taranlahoi noenae a tawn.
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.
Thaw haw, ka tawnta e miphun lungmawngcalah khosak e tami, longkha thoseh, tarennae thoseh, tawn laipalah madueng kho ka sak e koe cet haw, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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.
Kalauk hah tarannaw ni paru e lah awm vaiteh, maitohu lawp e lah ao han, ahlapoung hmuen koe ka kâkaheisak vaiteh, a rawkphainae naw hah hmuen tangkuem ka pha sak han telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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].’”
Hazar teh kahrawnguinaw khosaknae hmuen lah awm vaiteh yungyoe ka ke e lah ao han. Apihai khosak mahoeh toe, tami capa khosak mahoeh toe.
34 I received this message from Yahweh when King Zedekiah was starting to rule Judah.
Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah ni uknae kamtawng nah Elam taranlahoi BAWIPA e lawk profet Jeremiah koe ka tho e,
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].
ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Elam e licung a thaonae hah ka khoe han.
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].
Talai poutnae koehoi kahlî pali touh ka tho sak vaiteh, Edom taranlahoi talai poutnae totouh he ka kâkaheisak han. Elam tami pueng heh pâleihoehnae miphun khoeroe awm mahoeh.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka thet hane naw hoi a tarannaw e hmalah Elamnaw hah ka pâyaw sak han. Kaman e ka lungkhueknae ni ahnimouh lathueng rawkphainae ka pha sak han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Ahnimouh tahloi hoi ka pâlei vaiteh, he ka pâmit hoehroukrak teh.
38 I, Yahweh, will judge them there [MTY], and [then] I will get rid of their king and [his] officials.
A siangpahrangnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw ka raphoe vaiteh, Elam vah ka bawitungkhung ka hung han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
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.”
