Jeremiah 48
1 Moab chung chang thudol’a, Thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Ohe, Nebo mite, iti nadau hitam! Nakhopiu kisumang ding ahitai. Kiriathaim khomite akijumson, akhopiu min atouphatai. Akulpia dettah chu akiphelhan, ajumtauve.
To Moab, Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “Woe to Nebo, for it has been devastated. Kiriathaim has been humiliated and captured. Her fortress has been disgraced and crushed.
2 Koiman avel a, Moab loupina aphah poh louding ahitai. Ajeh chu Herbon a Moab suhmang dinga tohgon aum e. Amahon, aseiyun, Hungin namkhat ahinauva kon in sumang u hite. Mingol khopi chu kisuthip del’a, chulai mun’a chu chemjam in ajuiding ahi, atiuve.
The honor of Moab is no more. Their enemies in Heshbon plotted disaster against her. They said, 'Come and let us destroy her as a nation. Madmen will also perish—a sword will go after you.'
3 Horonaim kho’a ka ogin khu ngaiyun, Hesohna leh manthahna nasatah ka ogin ahi.
Listen! A sound of screaming is coming from Horonaim, where there is ruin and great destruction.
4 Moab suhmang in aumtai. Aka ogin’u, Zoar geiyin akijai!
Moab has been destroyed. Her children have made their cries heard.
5 Gal jamho chu kap pum pum in Luhith jon’in akaltouvun, kicha tah in akap uvin, Horonaim jon in kappum in akumsoh uve.
They go up the hill of Luhith weeping, for on the way down to Horonaim, screams are heard because of the destruction.
6 Na kihinso nadiuvin jam’un! Gammang lah’a gakisel uvin!
Flee! Save your lives and become like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Ijeh inem itile, nanghon nahaosat nauleh nathepnau nakisonpi jeh uva, nangho sohchanga nakikaimang diu ahi.
For because of your trust in your practices and your wealth, you also will be captured. Then Chemosh will go away into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
8 Khopi jouse abon’a kisumang ding, Thinglhang leh phaicham’a kon’a koima cha ajamdoh umlou hel’a kisugam ding ahi, tia Pakaiyin aseisa ahitai.
For the destroyer will come to every city; no city will escape. So the valley will perish and the plain will be devastated, as Yahweh has said.
9 Ohe, Moab in lhaving ana neitave leh, ama chu lengmang jel tante. Ajeh chu akhopi jouse ahomkeova kijam’a, koima achengding umtalou ahitai.
Give wings to Moab, for she must certainly fly away. Her cities will become a wasteland, where there is no one to live in them.
10 Pakai thua natoh ding donloupa chu gaosap changhen! Chule chemjam nungtuh kih’a, thisan soloupa chu gaosap chang hen!
May anyone who is lazy in doing Yahweh's work be cursed! May anyone who keeps his sword back from shedding blood be cursed!
11 Khanglui apat Moab chu lungmonga cheng a, sohchanga kikai mang khalou ahi. Ama chu bel khat a kon’a beldang khat a kilhei le le lou, kitungdet chet lengpitwi tobang ahi. Anam jong twitah leh namselou hoisel ahi.
Moab has felt secure since he was young. He is like his wine that has never been poured from pot to pot. He has never gone into captivity. Therefore he tastes as good as ever; his flavor remains unchanged.
12 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Phat ahunglhung’e, keiman mi kasol ding, amaho chu Moab mite chu belsung’a kon’a alheilhah uva, chuteng abeljong avohgoi diu ahitai,” ati.
So see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will send him those who will tip him over and pour out all his pots and shatter his jars.
13 Chutahle, Israel mite Bethel a ajachat bang uva, Moab mite jong a pathen’u Chemosh chunga jumna akimudiu ahi.
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their object of trust.
14 Vo Moab mite, nanghon kiletsah tah in, keiho gal hangte kahiuve, tin nakihatsah uve.
How can you say, 'We are soldiers, powerful fighting men'?
15 Ahinla, Moab khopi jouse akisumang tai. Akineppiu khangdong ho jouse alhu lham un, athatgamtauve, tin Lengpa Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseiye.
Moab will be devastated and its cities attacked. For its finest young men have gone down to the place of slaughter. This is the king's declaration! Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 Moab mite manthahna chu gangtah in ahunglhung e. Tijat umtah hamsetna chu ahunglhung’e.
Moab's disaster is soon to happen; calamity is hurrying quickly.
17 Moab mite chenkhompi ho nanghon ka piuvin, lunghem piuvin, veuvin lengvaipohna thahatttah chu akehtan, chule lengpa tenggol hoitah jong akihehbong tai.
All you who are around Moab, wail; and all you who know its fame, shout this, 'Woe, the strong staff, the honored rod, has been broken.'
18 Vo Dibon mite, naloupinauva kon’in hung kum lhauvin, vutlah’a hung touvun. Ajeh chu Moab sumangpa chu Dibon jong asuhmang tha ding, chule nakulpi jouseu jong asuhmang tha ding ahi.
Come down from your honored place and sit on the dry ground, you daughter living in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab is attacking you, the one who will destroy your strongholds.
19 Aroer mite, lampi pam’a dingun lang, ngah uvin. Moab akon hung jamdoh hochu dongun, ipi thilsoh umham, dongtoh uvin.
Stand on the road and watch, you people who live in Aroer. Ask the ones who are fleeing and escaping. Say, 'What has happened?'
20 Moab chu ahomkeovin akijam in, miho vetda achangtai. Arnor vadung panga gaseiphong un, Moab akisumang tai.
Moab has been shamed, for it has been shattered. Howl and lament; shout for help. Tell it to people by the Arnon River that Moab has been devastated.
21 Phaicham gam khopi ho, Holon leh Jahaz chuld Mephaath chunga thutanna alhungtai.
Now punishment has come to the hill country, to Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 Dibon leh Nebo chule Beth-diblathaim chunga,
to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,
23 Kiriathaim le Bethgamul, chule Bethmeon chunga,
to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,
24 Kerioth leh Bozrah chule gamla leh naiya um Moab khopi ho jouse chunga, lhungsoh ahitai.
To Kerioth and Bozrah, and to all the cities in the land of Moab— the farthest and the closest cities.
25 Moab thahat akisubei tan, Akhutjong akiheh bongtai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
The horn of Moab has been hacked off; its arm has been broken—this is Yahweh's declaration.
26 Ama chu jukham lhu banga tollhanga kiseplhuding, Ajeh chu ama akichoisangin, Pathen adouve. Moab hi, alohlhah sa lah’a kibolding, mihon akidah uva anuisat diu ahi.
Make him drunk, because he acted proudly against Yahweh. Let Moab wallow in his vomit, and let him be an object of ridicule.
27 Vo Moab, nangin Israel mite nadaithanga musittah’a nabol chu geldoh in! Gucha toh kimatkhom tha banga, noise tah’a nabol hilou ham?
For did not Israel become an object for laughter to you? Was he found among thieves, so that you shook your head at him as often as you spoke about him?
28 Vo Moab mite, nakhopiu dalhauvin lang jamdoh un, songko lah’a gacheng uvin. Songpi khi lah a vakhu in bu asah bangin, nangho jong ga um uvin.
Abandon the cities and camp on the cliffs, inhabitants of Moab. Become like a dove that is nesting over the mouth of a hole in the rocks.
29 Moab akilitsah behseh jenge, Akilitsahna ho jouse kajasohtai. Ama hi ahoitholheh jengin, ama leh ama akichoisangin, ipi agel hitam?
We have heard of Moab's pride—his arrogance, his haughtiness, his pride, his self-glory and the conceit in his heart.
30 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Keiman ama hoithona abon'in kahen, akilitsahna leh ahoithona jouse jong ahomkeo leh pannabei ahibouve,” ati.
This is Yahweh's declaration—I myself know his defiant speech, which amounts to nothing, like his deeds.
31 Hijeh chun. tun Moab mite dingin kap ingting, pul dou inge. Chule Kir-hareseth mite dinjong kalung hemsah inge.
So I will howl a lament for Moab, and I will shout in sorrow for all of Moab. I will lament for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32 Vo Sibmah mite, Jazer mite chunga kakana sangin, nangho din hakan kap inge. Naphattheinau lenglipei ho chu abahho twikhanglen pang geiya jamlut ahin; Ahivangin, abonchan misumang pachun asumang hel in, nipilai theiga holeh lengpiga ho jouse abon'in asumang tai.
I will weep for you more than I did for Jazer, vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed across the Salt Sea and reached as far as Jazer. The destroyers have attacked your summer fruit and your wine.
33 Moab gamsunga, nopna leh kipana jouse abeisohtai. Lengpitwi chilna mun’a jong lengpitwi akangtai. Lengpitwi lhoh’a pangho jong koima kipahtah’a a aodoh aumtapouve.
So celebration and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruit trees and the land of Moab. I have put an end to the wine from their winepresses. They will not tread with joyful shouts. Any shouts will not be shouts of joy.
34 Amavang tija tah’a aka ogin uchu, Heshbon kholeh Elealeh kho chule Jahaz kho geiyin, akijai. Zoar kholeh Horonaim kho chule Eglath-shelishyah kho geiyin aka gin’u akijadoh peh in ahi. Nimrim vadung twi jengjong akang liutai.
From the shouts at Heshbon as far as Elealeh, their sound is heard at Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, since even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Keiman Moa mite kasuhgam ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, hiche miten semthu pathen doiphunga kilhaina thilto abol uvin chule pathen dihlou chom chom ho ang’ah gimnamtwi ahal uvin ahi,” ati.
For I will put an end to anyone in Moab who makes sacrifices on the high places and burns incense to his gods—this is Yahweh's declaration.
36 Moab leh Kir-hareseth mite dingin, Mithi nikho’a theile kimutgin bangin, kalung hempi e. Ajeh chu anei agou jouseu abon'in abeisohtai.
So my heart is lamenting for Moab like a flute. My heart is lamenting like flutes for the people of Kir Hareseth. The riches they gained are gone.
37 Amahon puldounan, alujang uleh abengmul u ahettol gam uvin; Akhut aki-at pop chet chut uvin, khaodip pon kisil in aumgamtauve.
For every head is bald and every beard shaved. Incisions are on every hand, and sackcloth is around their waists.
38 Khosung lamlen dung jouse leh Moab mite insung jouse chu, kana leh lhisona adimlha jengtai. Ajeh chu keiman Moab chu bel luisa kivochip banga kavohchip hel ahitai, ati.
There is mourning everywhere, on every flat roof of Moab and in Moab's plazas. For I have destroyed Moab like pots that no one wants—this is Yahweh's declaration.
39 Itobang tah’a kivochiop hitam! Aka ogin’u khu ngaiyuvin, chule Moab jum le jana khu veuvin! Mitin dingin nuisat in aum uvin, aheng akom din kihilna bep in apangtauve.
How it has been shattered! How they howl in their lamenting! Moab turns its back in shame! So Moab will become an object of derision and a terror to all those who are around him.”
40 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Vetan, mulaopi hung lenglha bangin, Moab chunga alhaving teni ajah in, melmapa chu ahung lenglha tai,” ati.
For Yahweh says this, “See, the enemy will come flying like an eagle, spreading out his wings over Moab.
41 Khopi jouse kilahpih ding, kulpi jouse jong kisuchim ding ahi. Moab mi gal-hang penjong, numei naoso nat thohlel banga umding ahi.
Kerioth has been captured, and its strongholds have been seized. For in that day the hearts of Moab's soldiers will be like the hearts of women in birth labor.
42 Moab in Pakai adoutah jeh in, Moab chu kisumang ding, namkhat ahina-a jong umjoulou diu ahitai.
So Moab will be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he made himself to be great against Yahweh.
43 “Vo Moab! Tijat leh thang kikam in navel aumkim ahitai,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Terror and the pit, and a trap are coming on you, inhabitant of Moab—this is Yahweh's declaration.
44 Tija tah’a jamdoh pachu kokhuh’a lhalut ding; Kokhuh’a kon’a jamdoh pachu thangkol’a oh den ding: Ajeh chu nangma najamdoh louhel nading leh nachunga thutanna kaneikhum phat chu hunglhung ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Anyone who flees because of terror will fall into the pit, and anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap, for I will bring this on them in the year of my vengeance against them—this is Yahweh's declaration.
45 Miho chu Heshbon kho geiyin ajam un, ahinlah akalval a achebe jou aumtapouve. Ajeh chu, Sihon lengpa vaihomna Heshbon khopia kon in mei ahung kongdoh in, Moab mite jouse leh agam pumpi chu meiyin akou jejutan ahi.
The ones who flee will stand in the shadow of Heshbon without any strength, for fire will go out from Heshbon, flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the top of the heads of the boastful people.
46 Vo Moab, ada nahitai! Chemosh doi pathen houte abon'in akisumangtai. Nachapate leh nachanute jouse sohchang in akikaimang sohtauve.
Woe to you, Moab! Chemosh's people are destroyed, For your sons are taken as captives and your daughters into captivity.
47 Hijongle, keiman ninunung lamleh, Moab chu ahamphatna ding kasemphat kit ding, ahi tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
But I will restore the fortunes of Moab in later days—this is Yahweh's declaration.” The judgment on Moab ends here.
