< Jeremiah 46 >

1 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
Gentel kawng pongah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe;
2 For Egypt: “This is about the army of Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt that was at Carchemish by the Euphrates river. This was the army that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:
Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim angraenghaih saning palito haih naah Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah Euphrates vapui taeng Karkhemish ah pazawk ih, Izip ih misa ah ohhaih hoi Izip siangpahrang Faro Neko ih misatuh kaminawk misa ah angcoenghaih lok loe hae tiah oh;
3 Get the small shields and the large shields ready, and go forward to fight.
misa angvaenghaih hoi amthoep oh loe, misatuk hanah amsak oh!
4 Put the harness on the horses; mount up on the horses and take your stand with your helmets on; polish the spears and put on your armor.
Nangcae hrang angthueng kaminawk, hrangnawk to misatuk pakaahaih hoiah khuk oh, a nuiah angthueng oh loe sum lumuek angmuek hoiah caeh oh; tayaenawk to taak oh loe, misatuk pakaahaih to angkhuk oh.
5 What am I seeing here? They are filled with terror and are running away, for their soldiers are defeated. They are running for safety and are not looking back. Terror is all around—this is Yahweh's declaration—
Nihcae loe zit o moe, hnukbang ah amlaem o let boeh, tiah ka hnuk coek boeh; thacak nihcae ih misatuh kaminawk loe thazok o boeh, hnukbang angqoi ai ah a cawnh o boih boeh; ahnuk ahma zithaih to oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
6 the swift cannot run away, and the soldiers cannot escape. They stumble in the north and fall beside the Euphrates River.
Angtawt kaloe kaminawk doeh cawnh patok o moe, thacak kaminawk doeh loih o ai; nihcae loe aluek bang Euphrate vapui taengah amthlaek o ueloe, amtimh o tih.
7 Who is this who rises like the Nile, whose waters toss up and down like the rivers?
Tui baktiah angthawk moe, tuiphu baktiah angphui tahang kami loe mi aa?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers of water that rise and fall. Egypt says, 'I will go up and I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.
Izip loe tui baktiah kangthawk, vapui tuiphunawk baktiah longh; anih mah ka caeh tahang moe, long hae ka khuk khoep han; to ah kaom vangpui hoi kaminawk to kam rosak han, tiah thuih.
9 Go up, horses. Be angry, you chariots. Let the soldiers go out, Cush and Put, men skillful with a shield, and Ludim, men skillful at bending their bows.'
Aw hrangnawk, daw o tahang ah! Hrang lakoknawk tha hoi cawn oh! Thacak misatuh kaminawk, misatuk pakaahaih kasin, Ethiopia kaminawk hoi Libya kaminawk, misa kah hanah kalii kasin, Lydia kaminawk to tacawt o nasoe.
10 That day will be the day of vengeance for the Lord Yahweh of hosts, and he will avenge himself on his foes. The sword will devour and be satisfied. It will drink its fill of their blood. For there will be a sacrifice to the Yahweh Lord of hosts in the northern land by the Euphrates River.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Sithaw mah misanawk nuiah lu lakhaih ni, anih ih misanawk lu lakhaih niah oh baktih toengah, zok amhah moe, athii mah paqui ai karoek to nihcae to sumsen mah caa tih; misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw han angbawnhaih loe aluek bang prae Euphrates vapui taengah oh.
11 Go up to Gilead and obtain medicine, virgin daughter of Egypt. It is useless that you put much medicine on yourself. There is no cure for you.
Aw tangla cuem, Izip canu, Gilead ah caeh tahang ah loe, ngantuihaih tasi to la ah; nang loe tasi nang nok parai boeh e, na hoih thai ai; nang han ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
12 The nations have heard of your disgrace. The earth is filled with your laments, for soldier stumbles against soldier; both of them fall together.”
Azat na tonghaih prae boih mah thaih o boeh, na qahhaih lok doeh long pum ah koi boeh; thacak nang ih misatuh kami loe amthaek moe, maeto pacoeng maeto nuiah nawnto amtim hoi hmaek boeh, tiah a thuih.
13 This is the word that Yahweh told Jeremiah the prophet when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came and attacked the land of Egypt:
Izip prae tuk hanah Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchanezzar kawbangmaw angzo tih, tiah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok loe;
14 “Announce in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes. 'Take your station and prepare yourself, for the sword will devour those around you.'
na taengah kaom kaminawk to sumsen hoiah hum tih, to pongah acoehaih hoiah oh o moe, kacakah angdoet o hanah, Izip prae ah thui paeh; Migdol, Noph hoi Tahpanhes ah doeh thui pae oh.
15 Why are your mighty ones face-down on the ground? They will not stand, because I, Yahweh, have pushed them to the ground.
Tipongah maw misahoih kaminawk to amtimh o? Angraeng mah nihcae to nuih pongah nihcae loe angdoe o thai ai.
16 He increases the numbers of those who stumble. Each soldier falls against the next one. They are saying, 'Get up. Let us go home. Let us go back to our own people, to our native land. Let us leave this sword that is beating us down.'
Anih mah pop parai kaminawk to amthaeksak, ue, kaminawk loe maeto pacoeng maeto nuiah amtimh o; to naah nihcae mah, Angthawk oh, misa mah sumsen hoiah pacaekthlaek pongah, aimah acaeng kaminawk hoi aimah prae ah amlaem o let si, tiah thuih o.
17 They proclaimed there, 'Pharaoh the king of Egypt is only a noise, one who has let his opportunity slip away.'
To ahmuen ah nihcae mah, Izip siangpahrang Faro loe lok cing ni; anih mah atue laemsak boih boeh, tiah hang o.
18 As I live—declares the King, whose name is Yahweh of hosts— someone will come like Mount Tabor and Mount Carmel by the sea.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah ahmin kaom, Siangpahrang mah, Kai loe hing tangtang pongah, anih loe maenawk thungah Tabor mae baktih, tuipui taeng ih Karmel mae baktiah, angzo o tih.
19 Pack for yourselves baggage to carry into exile, you who live in Egypt. For Memphis will become a waste, it will lie in ruins and no one will live there.
Izip prae ah kaom canu nang, misong ah caeh hanah, nangmah ih hmuennawk to taoeng ah, Noph vangpui loe kami khosak han ai ah phrae tih boeh.
20 Egypt is a very beautiful young cow, but a stinging insect is coming from the north. It is coming.
Izip loe maitaw tala baktiah kranghoih, toe amrohaih loe aluek bang hoiah angzoh.
21 The hired soldiers in her midst are like a fattened bull, but they will also turn away and run away. They will not stand together, for the day of their disaster is coming against them, the time of their punishment.
Anih mah thlai ih kaminawk loe angmah salakah kathawk parai maitaw caa baktiah oh o; toe nihcae amrohaih atue, nihcae thuitaekhaih atue to phak boeh pongah, angdoe o thai ai, hnuk angnawn o moe, nawnto a cawnh o.
22 Egypt hisses like a snake and crawls away, for her enemies are marching against her. They are going toward her like woodcutters with axes.
Caka hoi thing pakhruk han kacaeh kaminawk baktiah, misanawk mah caka to sin o ueloe, anih tuk hanah angzo o tih, to naah nang ih misatuh kaminawk ih lok loe pahui sae lok baktiah ni om tih.
23 They will cut down the forests—this is Yahweh's declaration—although it is very dense. For the enemies will be more numerous than locusts, unable to be counted.
Nihcae loe kroek laek ai pakhuhnawk pongah doeh pop o kue pongah, anih ih kathah parai thingnawk to pakhruh pae o boih tih.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be made ashamed. She will be given into the hand of people from the north.”
Izip canu loe azathaih tongh ueloe, aluek bang kaminawk ban ah paek tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
25 Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “See, I am about to punish Amon of Thebes, Pharaoh, Egypt and her gods, her kings the Pharaohs, and those who trust in them.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Khenah, No vangpui ah kaom Amon kaminawk, Faro siangpahrang hoi Izip kaminawk ih sithawnawk, nihcae ih siangpahrangnawk, Faro siangpahrang nuiah amha kaminawk to ka thuitaek boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih;
26 I am giving them into the hand of the ones seeking their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his servants. Then after this Egypt will be inhabited as in previous days—this is Yahweh's declaration.
nihcae hinghaih pakrong kaminawk to Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar hoi a tamnanawk ih ban ah ka paek han; hnukkhuem ah, Izip prae loe canghnii ih baktiah kaminawk om o let tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
27 But you, my servant Jacob, do not fear. Do not be dismayed, Israel, for see, I am about to bring you back from far away, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Then Jacob will return, find peace, and be secure, and there will be no one to terrify him.
Toe Aw ka tamna Jakob, zii hmah; Aw Israel, tasoeh hmah; khenah, angthla parai prae hoiah nang to kang pahlong moe, na caanawk doeh misong ah ohhaih prae thung hoiah ka pahlong han; Jakob acaeng loe amlaem let ueloe, misa zithaih om mak ai, nihcae loe monghaih hoiah khosah o tih boeh.
28 You, my servant Jacob, do not fear—this is Yahweh's declaration—for I am with you, so I will bring complete destruction against all the nations where I scattered you. But I will not destroy you completely. Yet I will discipline you justly and will certainly not leave you unpunished.”
Aw ka tamna Jakob, zii hmah, nang khaeah ka oh; nangcae kang haehsak phanghaih prae to ka phraek boih langlacadoeh, nangcae loe kam rosak boih mak ai; kamsoem loklam ah ni kang thuitaek o han; toe thuitaek ai ah kang suem o sut mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
