< Jeremiah 49 >

1 Of the children of Ammon. Yahweh says: “Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell in its cities?
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 Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and it will become a desolate heap, and her daughters will be burned with fire; then Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says Yahweh.

3 “Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourself in sackcloth. Lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam will go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
“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 Why do you boast in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come to me?’
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 Behold, I will bring a terror on you,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, “from all who are around you. All of you will be driven completely out, and there will be no one to gather together the fugitives.
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 afterward I will reverse the captivity of the children of Ammon,” says Yahweh.
Ahin keiman Ammon mite haosatna ka le tundoh peh kitding ahi, “Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahi.”
7 Of Edom, Yahweh of Armies says: “Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?
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 Flee! Turn back! Dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit him.
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 If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves came by night, wouldn’t they steal until they had enough?
Lengpi thei ga kholtup hon, vaicha te din themkhat adalha jiuvin ahi. Janteng guchahon abonin agudoh jipouve.
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he will not be able to hide himself. His offspring is destroyed, with his brothers and his neighbors; and he is no 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 Leave your fatherless children. I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in me.”
“Ahin keiman nalah uva umnalai naochaga ho chu kavenbit ding ahi. Na meithai hou jong kachunga kithopi dia kingai thei ahiuve.”
12 For Yahweh says: “Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup will certainly drink; and are you he who will altogether go unpunished? You won’t go unpunished, but you will surely drink.

13 For I have sworn by myself,” says Yahweh, “that Bozrah will become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. All its cities will be perpetual wastes.”
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 have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, “Gather yourselves together! Come against her! Rise up to the battle!”

15 “For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.
Pakaiyin Edom henga aseijin, “Chitin namtin lah a neocha kahin soding, mijouse thet a nahung umding ahi,” ati.
16 As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill, though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.
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 an astonishment. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will hiss at all its plagues.

18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh, “no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
“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 “Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it, and whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it. For who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who will stand before 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 Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom, and his purposes that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they will drag them away, the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
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 The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.
Edom lhuh gin achu leiset chung kithing intin, hesoh gentheija ka-na chu twikhanglen sangdung geija kijapha ding ahi.
22 Behold, he will come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah. The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
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 Of Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard evil news. They have melted away. There is sorrow on the sea. It can’t be quiet.
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 Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
Damascus atha ahung lhasam tan, amite jouse jam din aum tauvin, numei naosonat kituh chah bangin, atuhchah tan ahi.
25 How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?
“Hiche khopi minthang, kipana khopi chu nungsun a umding ahi tai!
26 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says Yahweh of Armies.
A khangdong hou jong lamlen na lhu untin thidiu ahi. Asepai jouseu kithat gamhel diu ahi,” tin thaneitah Pakai chun aseije.

28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck, Yahweh says: “Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.
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 They will take their tents and their flocks. they will carry away for themselves their curtains, all their vessels, and their camels; and they will cry to them, ‘Terror on every side!’
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 Flee! Wander far off! Dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,” says Yahweh; “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against 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 Arise! Go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care,” says Yahweh; “that has neither gates nor bars, that dwells alone.
“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 Their camels will be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a plunder. I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,” says Yahweh.
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 be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever. No man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.”
“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 Yahweh’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
Elam chung chang thuhil khat themgao Jeremiah henga Judah Lengpa Zedekiah vaihom lai in, Pakaiya konin ahung in ahi.
35 “Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
