< Jeremiah 46 >

1 The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
Namtin vaipi chung changa Pakai thusei ho, Jeremiah themgao heng ahung lhung in;
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
Egypt chung chang thudol asei chu, Judah gam’a Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengvaipoh kal kumli na-ah, Ephrates vadung pang’a, Carchemish galmun’a, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in Egypt lengpa Pharaoh Neco leh asepaite chunga agaljona chu, hitin aseiye.
3 “Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
Nangma cheh in lum kisemtup unlang, galmun chu manotauvin,
4 Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
Sakol ho chunga pho sepdoh unlang, sakol chunga toudoh uvin. Na thih-lukhuh kikhuh unlang, nagalvon hou kisemtup uvin.
5 Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and don’t look back. Terror is on every side,” says the LORD.
Amavang, keiman ipi kamum? Egypt sepaite kichatah in anungjam tauve. Alah uva gal hangpen hojong, tijalih leuvin hung kinunghei louhel in, ajammang tauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
6 “Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
Alhai jangkhaipen ho jong ajamdoh aumpon, Gal hangpen hojong atoldoh aumpouve. Amaho chu sahlamgam’a Ephrates vadunbg panga, akipallhu gam uvin, abonchauvin akijam chap gamtauve.
7 “Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
Koi ho ham, Nile vadung twisoh khang teltul banga khang a, gamtin hinchup soh chu?
8 Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
Egypt mite ahiuve. Twisoh bangin amahon gamjouse achupsoh uvin, khopi holeh asunga cheng ho jouse asumang gamtauve.
9 Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
Manouvin, nangho sakol ho leh kangtalai ho, Galhang sepaite hung uvin hung delkhom un! Nangho Ethiopia leh Libya chule Lydia miho, thalpi kap themho leh lumdal themho hung uvin, atiuve.
10 For that day is of the Lord, GOD of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
Ajeh chu hiche hi Pakai nikho ahin, amelmate chunga hatching nung Pakai phulah nikho ahi. Chemjam in aban satchap diu, athisan u adonkham leuva chimset ding; Tunia hi, sahlam gam’a Euphrates vadung panga Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, kilhaina gantha khat anei ahi.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
Vo nungah theng, Egypt chanu! Gilead a kaltouvin lang, kijen nading lou gahol in; Amavang nakijenna lou le ai hochun nadamsah joulou ding ahi.
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
Namtin in najumna thuho ajasoh tan, Leiset chung hi naka ogin adimsohtai. Na galhang penho jong amaho leh amaho akipalhhu gam un, abonchauvin alhuchap gamtauve, ati.
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
Chuin Pakaiyin Jeremiah themgao henga, Egypt mite sat dinga Nebuchadnezzar lengpa kigotna chu aseipih in, hitin ati.
14 “Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
Egypt gamsunga samphong uvin, Migdol leh Memphis chule Tahpanhes khopi ho’a, gaphongjal uvin. Galsat dingin kigosan um uvin, ajeh chu nakimvel uva miho chu chemjam in asatgam soh hel ding ahiuve.
15 Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because the LORD pushed them.
Nagal hangteu ibol a lhulham’u hitam? Ajeh chu amaho adinjou lou nadiuva, Pakaiyin ajeplhuh gam u ahitai.
16 He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
Amaho khat leh khat akipallhu tou uvin, akiseplhu gam tauve. Chule amaho chu akihouvun,” Hung uvin ipennau gam’a imiteu koma kilekit tauhite. Chule melmapa chamjam’a kon’in jamdoh tauhite, akitiuve.
17 They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
Chutah le amahon, “Egypt lengpa Pharaoh, mi kamtam mi hoitho,” tia aminvo diu ahi.
18 “As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor amongst the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
Lengpa, Hatchungnung Pakai chun aseiye, “Keima hingjing kahi! Egypt doudin Tabor molsang tobang leh twikhanglen panga Carmel molsang tobang, mikhat ahunge;
19 You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burnt up, without inhabitant.
Vo Egypt mite, nathil kigottup unlang, sohchanga chemang dingin gotsan um uvin! Ajeh chu Memphis khopi kisumang a, asunga acheng beihel a khogem’a umding ahitai.
20 “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
Egypt khu bongla hoitah tobang ahin; Ahinlah sahlam gamkaiya kon in sel-lhip ahung leng in achunga achutai.
21 Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
Egypt ten athalah u sepaite jong, pannabei bongnou thaochet abangun; Amaho galsat din apang ngamtapouve, akileheiyun ajamtauve. Ajeh chu Egypt chunga gotna nasatah ahung lhung in, amanthah nikhou ahunglhungtai.
22 Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
Egypt mite chu gul kitholo bangin ajammangtauve. Melma sepaite chu, amanu doudin hiche pan in ahung kitol lut uvin, thingphung kiphuhlhu bangin atuchap jengtauve.
23 They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Amanu leh amite chu, melmaten thingphung kiphuhchap banga aphuh chap diu; Ajeh chu amaho chu khaokote sanga tamjo hungkon ahiuve.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
Egypt mite kijumso ahitauve. Amaho chu sahlam’a hung kipan miho khutna pehdoh ahitauve.
25 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in aseiye, “Keiman Thebes mite Pathen Amon leh Egypt mite Pathen chom lengpa Pharaoh leh anung juite jouse talen kamatsah ding ahi.
26 I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says the LORD.
Keiman, amaho thading gojing, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar leh asepaite khut a kapehdoh ding ahi. Amavang, khonung tengle, masanga banga kiledoh kit dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye, ati.
27 “But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Don’t be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
Hijongle kalhacha Jacob, nangma kichahih in; Lung jong lungthoi hih in Israel. Ajeh chu keiman gamla tah’a kon’a nangma kahin lepuikit ding, chule nachilhah’te jong asohchan nauva kon’a hung kile diu ahi. Chuteng koiman Israel chu asuh kichat tah louding, lungmong tah’a chengding ahiuve.
28 Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says the LORD, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
Kicha hih in, vo kalhacha Jacob, keiman nangma kaumpinai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Keiman nangho sohchanga kathechah nau namtin vaipi chu kasuhmang hel ding; Amavang nangho kahoidoh ding nahiuve. Keiman nangho thudihtah a kasuh dih ding, ahinla talen manlouva kakoi louhel ding nahiuve, ati.
