Yelemaia 51
1 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Ba: bilone soge amola ea fi dunu ilima wadela: su fo iasimu.
This is what the Lord says: Look! I'm going to stir up a destructive wind against Babylon and against the people of Babylonia.
2 Na da ga fi amo Ba: bilonema doagala: musa: asunasimu. Ilia da fo da bioi gisi amo fulabole gaguli ahoabe defele, Ba: bilone wadela: lesimu. Amo wadela: su eso da doaga: sea, ilia da la: ididili, la: ididili doagala: sea, soge da liligi hamedafa ba: mu.
I will send foreign soldiers to attack Babylon to winnow her and turn her country into a wasteland—they will attack her from all directions when her time of trouble comes.
3 Hedolo doagala: ma! Ba: bilone dunu da ilia ga: su gasisa: lasa: besa: le amola dadiga gala: sa: besa: le, hedolo doagala: ma! Ayeligi dunuma mae asigima! Dadi gagui wa: i huluane gugunufinisima!
The archer doesn't need to use his bow; the infantryman doesn't need to put on his armor. Don't spare her young soldiers; set apart her whole army for destruction!
4 Ilia da gala: le gagai, moilai bai bagade ilia logo ganodini bogogia: mu.
They will fall down wounded in her streets, killed in the country of Babylonia.
5 Isala: ili fi dunu amola Yuda fi dunu da Na, Isala: ili Hadigi Godedafa, amoma wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Be Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da ela hame yolesi.
Israel and Judah have not been deserted by their God, the Lord Almighty, even though they sinned against the Holy One of Israel everywhere in their country.
6 Isala: ili dunu amola Yuda dunu! Ba: bilone soge yolesili, dilia esalusu gaga: ma: ne, hobeama! Ba: bilone da wadela: le hamobeba: le, dilia bogosu ba: mu da defea hame galebe. Na da wali Ba: bilone fi ilima dabe iaha amola ea wadela: i houba: le, se iasu iaha.
Escape from Babylon! Run for your lives! Don't get caught up in her punishment and die, for this is the time when the Lord pays her back for her sins.
7 Ba: bilone da Na lobo ganodini gouliga hamoi faigelei agoane ba: i. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala da amoga nabeba: le, feloale agoane hamoi. Ilia da amo ea waini hano nabeba: le, dadousu hamoi dagoi.
Once Babylon was a golden cup the Lord held in his hand. She made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine which is why they went mad.
8 Be wali Ba: bilone da hedolowane dafai dagoi amola wadela: lesi dagoi ba: sa. Ea dafabeba: le, didigia: ma! Ea fa: ginisi uhima: ne, manoma lamu.
Now, all of a sudden, Babylon has fallen. She has been smashed to pieces. Weep for her; get her some treatment for her pain. Maybe she can be healed.
9 Ga fi dunu amogawi esalu da amane sia: i, ‘Ninia da Ba: bilone fidimusa: dawa: i galu. Be fidimu eso da baligi dagoiba: le hamedei. Ninia wali e yolesili, ninia sogega buhagimu. Gode da Ea gasa defele, amoga Ba: bilonema se i dagoi. E da amo gugunifinisidafa.’”
“We tried to heal her, but she couldn't be helped. So give up on her! All of us should go home to where we came from. The news of her punishment has reached everywhere, all the way to heaven.
10 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu da ha: giwane amane wele sia: sa, ‘Hina Gode da ninia hou da moloi, amo olelei dagoi. Hadiga! Ninia asili, Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima ninia Hina Gode Ea hamobe, amo ilima olelela: di.’”
The Lord has encouraged and supported us. Come on, let's tell people here in Jerusalem what the Lord has done for us!”
11 Hina Gode da Ba: bilone amo wadela: musa: ilegei dagoiba: le, E da Midia dunu ilima sia: i. Ba: bilone fi da Ea Debolo wadela: lesi dagoi. Amaiba: le, E da Midia fi amo Ba: bilone fi dunuma dabe imunusa: asunasimu. Doagala: su ouligisu dunu da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia dadi debema! Dilia ga: su liligi momagema!
Sharpen the arrows! Pick up the shields! The Lord has encouraged the kings of the Medes, because his plan is directed at the destruction of Babylon. The Lord is paying them back for what happened to his Temple.
12 Ba: bilone gagoi dobea amo doagala: su, dawa: ma: ne hahamosu hou olelema! Sosodo aligisu dunu ilima gasa ima! Sosodo ouligisu dunu ilia hawa: hamosu sogebi amoga masa: ne sia: ma! Dunu eno da wamoaligili desegaligimusa: asunasima!” Hina Gode da Ea sia: i defele, Ba: bilone dunu ilima hamoi dagoi.
Raise the signal flag to attack the walls of Babylon; strengthen the guard; have the watchmen take their places; get the ambush ready. The Lord planned and carried out his threats against the people of Babylon.
13 Ba: bilone soge da hano bagohame gala, amola liligi noga: i bagade gagui gala. Be ea wadela: mu eso da doaga: i dagoi, amola ea esalusu da fedege agoane efe amo da damunisi dagoi ba: sa.
You people who live beside by many waters, and have so much wealth, this is the time of your end—your life will be cut short.
14 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Hi Esalusuba: le ilegei dagoi. E da dunu bagohame, danuba: wa: i defele, Ba: bilone amoga doagala: musa: oule misunu. Amola ilia da hasalabeba: le, ha: giwane wele sia: mu.
The Lord Almighty vowed by his own life, saying, I'm going to make sure to fill you with so many enemy soldiers they'll be like locusts. They will shout as they celebrate their victory over you.
15 Hina Gode da Ea gasaga osobo bagade hamoi; Ea asigi dawa: su noga: i amoga E da osobo bagade hahamoi amola mu amola ilua: i.
It was God who made the earth by his power. He created the world by his wisdom and by his understanding he put the heavens in place.
16 Ea sia: beba: le, hano muagado dialebe da gobe nabi. E da mu mobi amo osobo bagade bega: diala amo gaguli maha. E da ha: ha: na nene gala: musa: hamosa. Amola Ea fo diasu sesei amoga fo asunasisa.
The waters of the heavens rain down with a roar at his command. He makes the clouds to rise all over the earth. He makes lightning to accompany rain, and sends the wind from his storehouses.
17 Amo hou ba: beba: le, dunu da gasa hame amola gagaoui agoane ba: sa. Dunu amo da ilia loboga ogogosu ‘gode’ hamosu, da amo ‘gode’ ilima dafawaneyale dawa: su hou yolesisa. Bai ‘gode’ ilia loboga hamoi liligi da hame esala, hamedei liligi fawane.
Everyone is stupid; they don't know anything. Every metalworker is embarrassed by the idols they make. For their images made of molten metal are fraudulent—they're not alive!
18 Ilia da hamedei liligi, amola dunu da ili higamu da defea. Hina Gode da ilima dabe ima: ne masea, ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
They are useless, an object to be laughed at. They will be destroyed at the time of their punishment.
19 Be Ya: igobe ea Gode da ili defele hame. Amo Gode Hi da liligi huluanedafa hahamoi. E da Isala: ili fi, Ea Fidafa hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi. Ea Dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.
The God of Jacob is not like these idols, for he is the creator of everything, including his own people that are special to him. The Lord Almighty is his name.
20 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone! Di da Na ‘ha: ma’ (hammer) gala. Di da Na gegesu liligi. Na da di amoga fifi asi gala amola hina bagade fi amo goudanesi.
You are my war club, the weapon I use in battle. I use you to destroy nations; I use you to destroy kingdoms.
21 Na da dia lobo amoga hosi, amoga fila heda: i dunu, sa: liode amola ilia genonesisu dunu goudai dagoi.
I use you to destroy horses and their riders; I use you to destroy chariots and their drivers.
I use you to destroy men and women; I use you to destroy old men and youths; I use you to destroy young men and girls.
23 Na da dia loboga dunu, uda da: i hamoi, ayeligi, dunu mano, uda mano, laigebo ouligisu dunu, ilia laigebo wa: i, osobo gidinasu dunu amola ilia hosi, hina bagade dunu amola ilia eagene ouligisu dunu, amo medole lelegei dagoi.
I use you to destroy shepherds and their flocks; I use you to destroy farmers and their cattle; I use you to destroy rulers and state officials.
24 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Ba: bilone amola ea fi dunu ilima dabe imunu. Bai ilia da Yelusaleme fi ilima wadela: le bagade hamoi.
Right in front of you I'm going to pay back Babylon and everyone who live in Babylonia for all the evil they did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord.
25 Ba: bilone! Di da osobo bagade wadela: su goumi agoane ba: sa. Be Na, Hina Gode, da dia ha lai esala. Na da di gagulaligili, mugululi, di osoboga umi agoane hamone, laluga ulagili, di da nasubu fawane dialebe ba: mu.
Watch out, because I am against you, you destructive monster who devastates the whole world, declares the Lord. I will reach out to attack you; I will roll you down the cliffs; I will turn you into a mountain of ash.
26 Igi huluane dia mugului ganodini dialebe ba: sea, amo dunu da diasu eno gagumusa: hamedafa lamu. Di da eso huluanedafa wadela: i hafoga: i soge agoane dialebe ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
Nobody will be even able to find themselves a cornerstone or a foundation stone among your ruins, because you will be so utterly destroyed, declares the Lord.
27 Ba: bilone amoma doagala: musa: dawa: digisu hahamoma! Fifi asi gala huluane nabima: ne, dalabede fulabole duma. Fifi asi gala da Ba: bilonema doagala: musa: , momagema!

Hosi wa: i amo danuba: wa: i bagade agoane, oule heda: ma!
Raise a signal flag in the country! Blow the trumpet call to war among the nations! Get the nations ready to attack her; Summon the kingdoms to march against her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Choose a commander to lead the armies to attack her; send into battle cavalry like a swarm of locusts.
28 Fifi asi gala da Ba: bilonema doagala: musa: momagema! Midia hina bagade huluane amola ilia ouligisu dunu amola eagene ouligisu dunu amola soge ilia ouligisa amo ilia dadi gagui wa: i huluane, amo misa: ne sia: ma!
Have the armies of the nations prepare for battle against her. This applies to the kings of the Medes, their leaders and all their officers, and every country they rule.
29 Osobo bagade da fofogolala! Bai Hina Gode da Ba: bilone soge wadela: lesili, bu hafoga: i dunu hame esalebe soge hamomusa: ilegei dagoi, amola E da amo ilegesu hamonana.
The earth quakes and trembles because the Lord is determined to carry out what he threatened against Babylon—to turn Babylonia into a wasteland where no one lives.
30 Ba: bilone dadi gagui ilia da bu gegenanu yolesili, ilia gagili sali diasu ganodini beda: iwane esala. Ilia da ilia nimi bagade hou fisili, bu gasa hame uda agoane ba: sa. Moilai holei ga: su da mugului dagoi, amola diasu da laluga nenana.
Babylon's defenders have given up fighting—they're just sitting in their fortresses. They're worn out; they've become like frightened women. Babylon's houses are burning; the bars securing her gates have been smashed.
31 Sia: adole iasu dunu, eno amola eno bagohame, da Ba: bilone hina bagade ema, ha lai dunu da la: ididili amola la: ididili ea moilai bai bagade amoma doagala: lala, amo adole imunusa: ema doaga: lala.
A runner hands his message over to another to carry; one messenger follows another messenger, all of them alerting the king of Babylon to the news that his city has been completely conquered,
32 Ha lai dunu da hano degesu lai dagoi, amola gagili sali diasu huluane laluga ulagisa. Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu da beda: i bagadeba: le, hobeamusa: dawa: lala.
the river crossings have been captured, the marshlands set on fire and his soldiers are panicking.
33 Ilia ha lai dunu da ili hedofale, ilia da gagoma ha: i manu lamu diasuga osa: gisa amo defele ili ososa: gimu. Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The people of Babylon are like a threshing floor when the grain is trampled out. Her time of harvest will come very soon.
34 Ba: bilone hina bagade da Yelusaleme dadega: le, mai dagoi. E da amo moilai bai bagade faigelei defele, hagia: i dagoi. E da hanome defele, Yelusaleme da: gi dagoi. E da ea hanaiga ea liligi gesowale lale, eno hame lai udigili ha: digi.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon chewed me up and sucked me dry, making me as empty as a jar with nothing in it. He swallowed me down as if he were some monster, filling himself with the tastiest parts of me and throwing the rest away.
35 Saione fi dunu da amane sia: mu da defea, “Ba: bilone fi da ninima se bagade iabeba: le, Hina Gode da ilima fofada: nanu, ilima se imunu da defea.” Amola Yelusaleme fi dunu da amane sia: mu da defea, “Ba: bilone fi da nini se nabima: ne hamoiba: le, ilisu da dabe lamu da defea.”
“Babylon must bear the responsibility for the violent attacks on us,” say the inhabitants of Zion. “The people of Babylonia must bear the responsibility for the blood shed in my city,” says Jerusalem.
36 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Na da dilimagale fofada: mu. Na da dilia ha lai ilima dabe imunu. Bai ilia da dilima wadela: le hamoi. Na da ilia hano huluane hafoga: ma: ne hamomu.
This is what the Lord says: Watch as I present your case for you and make your enemies pay for what they did to you. I'm going to dry up her river and her springs.
37 Ba: bilone soge da mugului liligi lelegela heda: i agoane ba: mu. Amo ganodini, sigua ohe fawane esalebe ba: mu. Amo soge da wadela: idafa agoane ba: mu. Dunu da amo ganodini hame esalumu amola nowa da amo soge ba: sea da bagadewane beda: mu.
Babylon will be turned into a pile of rubble, a home for jackals, a place that horrifies people, a place they jeer at, a place where no one lives.
38 Ba: bilone dunu da laione wa: me agoane husa amola laione wa: me mano agoane halahalasa.
The Babylonians will roar together like powerful lions and growl like lion cubs.
39 Ilia da uasu dunu! Na da ili feloama: ne amola hahawane ba: ma: ne, ilima lolo nabe hahamomu. Ilia da golale, hamedafa nedigimu.
But while their passions are aroused, I will serve them a banquet and get them drunk. They'll celebrate so much that they'll pass out and won't ever wake up, declares the Lord.
40 Dunu da sibi mano amola goudi amola sibi gawali amo medole legemusa: oule ahoa, amo defele Na da Ba: bilone dunu medole legemusa: oule masunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
I will take them down like lambs to be slaughtered, like rams and goats.
41 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone (moilai bai bagade Ba: bilone soge ganodini) amoma osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da nodosu. Be wali amo da ea ha lai amoga gagulaligi dagoi. Wali fifi asi gala da Ba: bilone wadela: idafa hamoi ba: sa.
How could it be? Babylon has fallen! The most famous city in the world has been conquered! What a horrible sight Babylon has become to everyone watching!
42 Fedege agoane, hano wayabo bagade da Ba: bilone dedeboi dagoi. Ea gafului da fugala: le, ema dedeboma: ne asi dagoi.
It's as if the sea has flooded over Babylon, covering her in crashing waves.
43 Moilai huluane da beda: ma: ne wadela: idafa ba: sa. Ilia da hano hamedene hafoga: i soge agoane ba: sa. Amo ganodini, dunu da hame esala amola amogawi hame ahoa.
The towns of Babylonia are in ruins, turned into a dry desert wasteland where no one lives—no one even passes by.
44 Na da Ba: bilone ogogosu ‘gode’ Bele, ema se imunu. Amola ea wamolai liligi bu samogemu. Fifi asi gala da ema bu hame nodone sia: ne gadomu. Ba: bilone gagoi ea dobea da mugului dagoi.
I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will force him to spit out what he swallowed. People of other nations won't run to worship him anymore. Even Babylon's wall has fallen.
45 Isala: ili dunu! Amo soge fisili, hobeama! Na ougi bagadedafa mae ba: ma: ne, dilia esalusu gaga: ma: ne, hobeama!
My people, come out of her! Each one of you, save yourselves from the Lord's furious anger.
46 Dilia da udigili sia: dabe nababeba: le, mae beda: ma! Ode huluane amoga dilia da udigili sia: daha naba. Amo da udigili gegesu sia: dalebe, amola hina bagade eno da eno hina bagade amoma gegemusa: sia: dala.
Don't lose courage, and don't be afraid when you hear different rumors going around the country. There'll be one rumor one year, and another one the next, talking about violent revolution, of one ruler fighting against another.
47 Amaiba: le, eso da misunu, amoga Na da Ba: bilone ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima se imunu. Soge fi huluane da gogosiasu ba: mu amola dunu huluane da medole legei dagoi ba: mu.
Look, the time is coming when I will punish Babylon's idols. The whole country will be humiliated; it will be full of the dead bodies of those who have been killed.
48 Gagoe (north) fi amo da Ba: bilone wadela: musa: misini, amola Ba: bilone gugunufinisi dagoi ba: sea, liligi huluane osobo bagadega amola muagado amoga diabe, da hahawaneba: le, wele sia: mu.
Then everyone in heaven and on earth will celebrate with shouts of joy at what's happened to Babylon, because the destroyers from the north will come and attack her, declares the Lord.
49 Ba: bilone fi da hamobeba: le, fifi asi gala huluane ilia fi dunu bagohame da bogogia: i dagoi. Amola wali, Ba: bilone fi dunu da Isala: ili dunu bagohame medole legeiba: le, Ba: bilone da dafamu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
Babylon has to fall because of the Israelites and people of other nations she killed.
50 Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu Ba: bilone soge ganodini esala, ilima amane sia: sa, “Dilia da bogosu giadofai - hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, wali masa! Mae ouligima! Dilia da dilia soge amoga ga sedagawane esala. Be Na, dilia Hina Gode, amo dilia bu dawa: ma! Amola Yelusaleme mae gogolema!
Those of you who have managed to escape being killed, leave now! Don't delay! Remember the Lord in this far away place; think about Jerusalem.
51 Dilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Ninia da gogosiasu lai dagoi. Ninia da gasa hame amola hamedei ba: sa. Bai ga fi da hadigi sogebi Debolo ganodini diala, amo huluane lale ouligi dagoi.
“We are embarrassed because we've been mocked, and we held our heads in shame because foreigners went into the holy places of the Lord's Temple,”
52 Amaiba: le, Na da amane sia: sa. Eso da misunu, amoga Na da Ba: bilone loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima se imunu. Amola soge huluane amo ganodini fa: ginisi dunu da se nababeba: le, gogonomamu.
So keep watching, declares the Lord, because the time is coming when I will punish her for worshiping idols, and the sound of wounded people moaning will be heard throughout the country.
53 Ba: bilone da muagado amoga heda: le, gasa bagade gagili sali diasu gagumu, amo defele esalaloba, Na da dunu ili amo wadela: lesima: ne asunasila: loba. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
Even if Babylon could climb up into the sky to strengthen her high fortresses, those I send to attack her will destroy her, declares the Lord.
54 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone soge amoga digini wele sia: su, amola soge wadela: lesi dagoiba: le, da: i dione didigia: su amo nabima!
A cry comes from Babylon; the noise of terrible destruction comes from the country of Babylonia.
55 Na da Ba: bilone wadela: lesilala. Amo soge da ouiya: le dialumu. Dadi gagui dunu wa: i ilia da hano gafului agoane, ganodini hehenasa. Ilia da ha: giwane halale, Ba: bilonema doagala: sa.
For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon; he will put an end to her boastful talk. The waves of attacking army will roar like the crashing sea; the noise of their shouts will echo all around.
56 Ilia da Ba: bilone gugunufinisimusa: misi dagoi. Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu da ilia ha lai amoga gagulaligi dagoi ba: sa. Ilia dadi da fi dagoi. Na, Gode, da wadela: i hou amoma se iaha. Na da Ba: bilone amoma ilia hamoi defele dabe imunu.
A destroyer is coming to attack Babylon. Her soldiers will be taken prisoner, and their bows will be smashed, for the Lord is a God who punishes fairly; he will definitely pay them back.
57 Na da Ba: bilone ouligisu dunu (ilia bagade dawa: su dunu, ouligisu dunu amola dadi gagui dunu) amo feloama: ne hamomu. Ilia da golale, hamedafa nedigimu. Na, Hina Bagadedafa, da sia: i dagoi. Na da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.
I will make her leaders and wise men drunk, along with her commanders, officers, and soldiers. Then they will pass out, and won't ever wake up, declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
58 Ba: bilone ea gagoi dobea da osoboga gisalugala: i dagoi ba: mu. Ea gadodili heda: i logo holei ga: su da laluga nei dagoi ba: mu. Fifi asi gala huluane da amo moilai bai bagade gagui be ilia udigili hawa: hamoi. Ilia hamoi liligi da lalu sawa: amoga nei dagoi ba: sa. Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da sia: i dagoi.”
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Babylon's massive walls will be knocked down to the ground and her high gates burned. All that the people worked for will be for nothing; other nations who came to help will wear themselves out, only to see what they've done go up in flames.
59 Hina bagade Sedegaia ea hawa: hamosu dunu da Sila: ia (Nilaia egefe amola Masaia ea aowa). Yuda hina bagade Sedegaia ea ode biyadu ouligibiga, Sila: ia da e amola gilisili Ba: bilone sogega masusa: dawa: i. Na da ema meloa dedene i.
This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he accompanied King Zedekiah of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of Zedekiah's reign. Seraiah was the king's personal assistant.
60 Na da Ba: bilone fi ilima gugunufinisila misunu hou, amola Ba: bilone liligi huluane amo meloa ganodini dedei.
Jeremiah had written on a scroll a description of all the disasters that would come to Babylon—all these words written here about Babylon.
61 Na da Sila: iama amane sia: i, “Di da Ba: bilone sogega doaga: sea, sia: huluane amo meloa ganodini dedei, amo dunu huluane nabima: ne idima.
Jeremiah told Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, make sure you read out loud everything written here,
62 Amasea, di amane sia: ne gadoma, ‘Hina Gode! Di da amo soge wadela: ma: ne sia: i. Amola amo ganodini esalebe liligi, dunu o ohe esalebe hame ba: mu amola amo soge eso huluanedafa hafoga: i soge agoane dialoma: ne, Di da sia: i dagoi.’
and announce, ‘Lord, you have promised to destroy this place so that none will be left—no people or animals. In fact it will be deserted forever.’
63 Sila: ia! Di da amo buga dunu nabima: ne idi dagosea, amoga igi la: gili, Iufala: idisi Hano amoga gelasa: ima: ne ha: digima.
After you finish reading this scroll out loud, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates.
64 Amola amane sia: ma ‘Amo hou defele da Ba: bilone amoma doaga: mu. Ba: bilone da magufale, bu hamedafa heda: mu. Bai Hina Gode da gugunufinisisudafa amoga iasimu.’” Yelemaia ea sia: da amogawi dagosa.
Then say, ‘This is how Babylon will sink and won't ever rise again, because of the disaster I'm bringing down on her. Her people will grow tired.’” This is the end of Jeremiah's messages.
