¹The word of Yahweh which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.

¹Namte tuntanga jawlnei Jeremia kianga TOUPA thu hong tung:

²Of 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.

²Aigupta thu, Euphrates lui geia Karkhemis khuaa om, Juda kumpipa Jehoiakim, Josia tapa kum linaa Nebukadnezzarin a bawl ek Aigupta kumpipa Pharo-Neko sepaih hon tungtang thu:

³Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!

³Lum bem te, lum zawl te mansain om unla, gal nawt un,

⁴Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.

⁴Sakol van unla, sakol tuang mite aw, tuang un, dal lukhu khuin ding kip unla, tei tat hiamin sik puannak silh un.

⁵Why have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and don’t look back: terror is on every side, says Yahweh.

⁵Bangchidan! A taikekta uh, a dek uh a ngat uh, a galkapmite uh a vuallel uh, baksam leng zenin a tai ua, nunglam nga het louin, ning chihah gal a lang chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

⁶Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen.

⁶Mi juanjang a taimang theikei, galkapmi a pawt tuan kei uh, huaia mi Euphrates lui geiah a hawi ua, a puk khinta uh.

⁷Who is this who rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?

⁷Nile lui banga hong khang kua ahia? Luipi tui kihot kimvel bangin?

⁸Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he says, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.

⁸Aigupta bel Nile lui bangin a khanga luipi tui kihot kimvel bang maiin, ka khang dinga, leitung ka luah sak ding, khopite leh a luahmite ka hihse ding, a chi a.

⁹Go up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.

⁹Aw sakolte aw, nawk zel unla, aw kangtalai aw, nakpiin pang un: galkapmiten ma phut uhenla, Ethopia mi leh Put mi, lum tawimite, Lud mi thalpeu zang siamte toh.

¹⁰For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

¹⁰Huai ni ahi, TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPA ni tak, phu lak ni, a melmate tunga phu a lak theihna: namsauin a gai dinga, a niang ding, a sisian uh taitakin a dawn ding; sepaihte TOUPAN mal gamah Euphrates lui geiah mi tampi a gou phengphung mai ve.

¹¹Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain do you use many medicines; there is no healing for you.

¹¹Aw, Aigupta tanu siangthou, Gilead ah hoh tou inla, sing nai nuh chi vala in, damdawi tampi a thawnin na zangta, nanga dingin damna himhim a omkei hi.

¹²The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.

¹²Namten na zahlakna a ja ua, na kahin lei pumpi a dim hi, galkapmi leh galkapmi a kiphu ua, lei ah a puk khawm uh, chiin.

¹³The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.

¹³Nebukadnezzar, Banulon kumpipa a hongpaia, Aigupta gam a hongbawl ek dingdan thu TOUPAN jawlnei Jeremia kianga a gen:

¹⁴Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say, Stand forth, and prepare; for the sword has devoured around you.

¹⁴Aigupta gamah gen unla, Migdol ah phuang un; Noph ah leh Tahpanhes ah phuang unla; ding kipin kigalging un; na kima mi lah namsauin a gai ta ngala.

¹⁵Why are your strong ones swept away? they didn’t stand, because Yahweh pushed them.

¹⁵Bang dia na mi hatte phiat manga om ahi ua? A ding zou kei ua, TOUPAN a paihkhiak jiakin.

¹⁶He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one on another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.

¹⁶Mi tampi a kisui saka, ahi, a kiphu puk lemlum ua, Nuaisiahna namsau taisanin kisa un, i kik ding uh, i pianna gamah i mite kiangah, a chi ua.

¹⁷They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.

¹⁷Aigupta kumpipa Pharo pen husa lel lian, a hun sehsa a paimang saka, chiin huaiah a kilou uhi.

¹⁸As I live, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

¹⁸A hina ka hin sungin zaw, chih Kumpipa, a min sepaihte TOUPA thu pawt ahi hi, tangte laka Tabor tang bangin tuipi china Karmel tang bangin a hongpai ngei ding.

¹⁹You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.

¹⁹Aw nang, tanu, Aigupta gama teng, Sal tang dingin kibawl maiin: Noph khua a segawp sin ngala, teng ding om louin a kang mang ding.

²⁰Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come, it has come.

²⁰Aigupta bel bawngla hoihtak ahi, himahleh mal akipan nasemmi ding hongkuanin a hongpai hi.

²¹Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they didn’t stand: for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.

²¹A lak ua sepaih goih laite bel bawngtuia vak thau bang mai ahi uh. A dek uh a ngat ua, a taikek ua, khawl louin, a tunguah a siatna ni uh a tungta ahi, a gawtna hun ding uh:

²²The sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.

²²Gulpi kitholh bang maiin husa a neia, a melmate kitonin a hongpai ua, sing phukmite bangin heii toh a hongsual uh.

²³They shall cut down her forest, says Yahweh, though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.

²³A gam gammang vaksuak zoh louh a honghise ding uh, khaukhup sangin a tamzo ngal ua, sim seng vuallouh ahi uh.

²⁴The daughter of Egypt shall be disappointed; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

²⁴Aigupta tanu a zahlak ding, mal lama mi khuta matsakin a om ding.

²⁵Yahweh 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:

²⁵Sepaihte TOUPA, Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi: Ngai un, Nou khuaa, Amon leh Pharo; huan, Aigupta leh a pathiante, a kumpipate, Pharo ngei leh amah muangmite ka gawt ding.

²⁶and 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; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says Yahweh.

²⁶A hinna uh, zong mite khut ah leh Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzat leh a nasemmite khut ah ka mansak ding: huai hun chiangin luahin a om ding, nidanglai nite bang mahin, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

²⁷But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

²⁷Aw Jakob, ka nasempa, lau kenla, aw Israel, lunglel sam ken, Ngai in, gamla pia kipan nang ka honhunkhe sin ngala, na suante leng a saltanna gam ua kipan, Huan, Jakob a hongkik dinga, muang takin a om hiat-hiat dinga, kuamahin a lausak nawn kei ding uh.Aw Jakob, ka nasempa, lau ken, ka honompih ahi, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi: ka hondelh jakna nam tengteng ka beisak dinga, nang jaw ka honbeisak het kei ding: dik takin ka hon gawt dinga, gawt louin ka honkhak kei ding hi.

²⁸Don’t you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; 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.

²⁸Aw Jakob, ka nasempa, lau ken, ka honompih ahi, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi: ka hondelh jakna nam tengteng ka beisak dinga, nang jaw ka honbeisak het kei ding: dik takin ka hon gawt dinga, gawt louin ka honkhak kei ding hi.
