< Jeremiah 46 >

1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
Namtin vaipi chung changa Pakai thusei ho, Jeremiah themgao heng ahung lhung in;
2 For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 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 'Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.
Nangma cheh in lum kisemtup unlang, galmun chu manotauvin,
4 Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, 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 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, 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? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
Koi ho ham, Nile vadung twisoh khang teltul banga khang a, gamtin hinchup soh chu?
8 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
Egypt mite ahiuve. Twisoh bangin amahon gamjouse achupsoh uvin, khopi holeh asunga cheng ho jouse asumang gamtauve.
9 Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading 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 And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
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 to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.
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 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!'
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 Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:
Chuin Pakaiyin Jeremiah themgao henga, Egypt mite sat dinga Nebuchadnezzar lengpa kigotna chu aseipih in, hitin ati.
14 'Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
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 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.
Nagal hangteu ibol a lhulham’u hitam? Ajeh chu amaho adinjou lou nadiuva, Pakaiyin ajeplhuh gam u ahitai.
16 He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of 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 have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.
Chutah le amahon, “Egypt lengpa Pharaoh, mi kamtam mi hoitho,” tia aminvo diu ahi.
18 I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,
Lengpa, Hatchungnung Pakai chun aseiye, “Keima hingjing kahi! Egypt doudin Tabor molsang tobang leh twikhanglen panga Carmel molsang tobang, mikhat ahunge;
19 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been 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 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
Egypt khu bongla hoitah tobang ahin; Ahinlah sahlam gamkaiya kon in sel-lhip ahung leng in achunga achutai.
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.
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 voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.
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 have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Amanu leh amite chu, melmaten thingphung kiphuhchap banga aphuh chap diu; Ajeh chu amaho chu khaokote sanga tamjo hungkon ahiuve.
24 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.
Egypt mite kijumso ahitauve. Amaho chu sahlam’a hung kipan miho khutna pehdoh ahitauve.
25 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting 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 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
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 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'
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.
