Jeremias 27
1 Sa pagsugod sa paghari ni Zedekia ang anak nga lalaki ni Josia, nga hari sa Juda, kining pulong miabot kang Jeremias nga gikan kang Yahweh.
THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH HE SPOKE AGAINST BABYLON.
2 Mao kini ang gisulti ni Yahweh kanako, “Paghimo ug gapos ug yugo alang sa imong kaugalingon ug sangoni ang imong kaugalingon. Isangon kini sa imong liog.
Proclaim you among the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress [them] not: say you, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up.
3 Unya ipadala kini sa hari sa Edom, sa hari sa Moab, sa hari sa katawhan sa Amon, sa hari sa Tyre, ug sa hari sa Sidon. Ipadala sila sa kamot sa mga embahador sa hari nga mangadto sa Jerusalem ngadto kang Zedekia ang hari sa Juda.
For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast.
4 Hatagi sila ug mga mando sa ilang mga agalon ug sultihi, 'Si Yahweh nga makagagahom, ang Dios sa Israel, nagsulti niini: Mao kini ang kinahanglan nimong isulti sa imong mga agalon,
In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
5 Ako ang nagbuhat sa kalibotan pinaagi sa akong dakong kusog ug sa akong bukton. Gibuhat ko usab ang katawhan ug ang mga mananap diha sa kalibotan, ug ihatag ko kini kang bisan kinsa nga matarong sa akong mga mata.
They shall ask the way till [they come to] Sion, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten.
6 Busa karon, akong ihatag kining tanang kayutaan ngadto sa mga kamot ni Nebucadnezar, ang hari sa Babilonia, nga akong alagad. Ihatag ko usab, ang mga buhing binuhat sa kaumahan ngadto kaniya, aron mag-alagad kaniya.
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.
7 Kay ang tanang kanasoran mag-alagad kaniya, ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki, ug ang iyang mga apo nga lalaki hangtod sa pag-abot sa panahon nga matapos ang iyang pagdumala. Unya daghan ang mga nasod ug ang mga gamhanan nga hari mobuntog kaniya.
All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers [had] a pasture of righteousness.
8 Busa ang nasod ug ang gingharian nga wala mag-alagad kang Nebucadnezar, ang hari sa Babilonia, ug wala nagpasangon sa yugo sa ilang liog sa hari sa Babilonia—akong pagasilotan ang nasod pinaagi sa espada, kagutom, ug katalagman—mao kini ang gipahayag ni Yahweh—hangtod nga ako silang laglagon pinaagi sa iyang kamot.
Flee you out of the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans, and go forth, and be as serpents before sleep.
9 Busa ayaw paminaw sa inyong mga propeta, sa inyong mga tighubad sa damgo, sa inyong mga mananagna, sa inyong mga babaylan, ug sa inyong mga espiritista, nga nagsulti kaninyo, 'Ayaw pag-alagad sa hari sa Babilonia.'
For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty.
10 Kay nanagna sila sa mga bakak diha kaninyo aron ipadala kamo pahilayo sa inyong kayutaan, kay gipakalagiw ko kamo, ug mamatay.
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied.
11 Apan ang nasod nga nagpasangon niini sa liog ilalom sa yugo sa hari sa Babilonia ug nag-alagad kaniya, tugotan ko kini nga makapahulay sa iyang yuta—mao kini ang gipahayag ni Yahweh—ug ila kining paga-ugmaron ug maghimo sa ilang mga puloy-anan.””
Because you rejoiced, and boasted, [while] plundering mine heritage; because you exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.
12 Busa misulti ako ngadto kang Zedekia ang hari sa Juda ug gihatag kaniya kining mensahe, “Pagpasangon kamo sa inyong mga liog ilalom sa yugo sa hari sa Babilonia ug pag-alagad kaniya ug sa iyang katawhan, ug mabuhi kamo.
Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: [she is] the last of the nations, desolate,
13 Nganong mamatay ka man—ikaw ug ang imong katawhan—pinaagi sa espada, kagutom, ug katalagman, sama sa akong gipahayag bahin sa nasod nga midumili sa pag-alagad sa hari sa Babilonia?
by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague.
14 Ayaw paminaw sa mga pulong sa mga propeta nga misulti kaninyo ug miingon, 'Ayaw alagari ang hari sa Babilonia,' kay nagpropesiya sila ug mga bakak diha kaninyo.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows,
15 Kay wala ko sila gipadala—mao kini ang gipahayag ni Yahweh—kay nagpropesiya sila sa bakak pinaagi sa akong ngalan busa palayason ko ikaw ug mamatay ka, ikaw ug ang mga propeta nga nagpropesiya diha kanimo.”'
and prevail against her: her hands are weakened, her bulwarks are fallen, and her wall is broken down: for it is vengeance from God: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do to her.
16 Ako kining isulti ngadto sa mga pari ug sa tanan nga katawhan ug moingon, “Nag-ingon si Yahweh niini: Ayaw paminaw sa mga pulong sa imong mga propeta nga nagpropesiya diha kaninyo ug nag-ingon, 'Tan-awa! Ang mga butang nga anaa sa balay ni Yahweh giuli na karon gikan sa Babilonia!' nagpropesiya sila ug mga bakak diha kaninyo.
Utterly destroy seed out of Babylon, [and] him that holds a sickle in time of harvest: for fear of the Grecian sword, they shall return every one to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
17 Ayaw paminaw kanila. Kinahanglan mag-alagad kamo sa hari sa Babilonia ug mabuhi. Nganong kinahanglan man gun-obon kining siyudara?
Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have driven him out: the king of Assyria first devoured him, and afterward this king of Babylon [has gnawed] his bones.
18 Kung mga propeta sila, ug kung tinuod gayod nga miabot kanila ang pulong ni Yahweh, tugoti sila nga magpakiluoy ngadto kang Yahweh nga makagagahom nga dili ipadala ngadto sa Babilonia ang mga butang nga nahibilin sa iyang balay, ang balay sa hari sa Juda, ug sa Jerusalem.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria.
19 Nagsulti si Yahweh nga makagagahom niini mahitungod sa mga haligi, sa dagat, ug ang mananap, ug ang tanan nga mga butang nga nahibilin niining siyudad—
And I will restore Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and on mount Ephraim and in Galaad, and his soul shall be satisfied.
20 ang mga butang nga wala nadala ni Nebucadnezar ang hari sa Babilonia sa dihang gibihag niya si Jehoyakin ang anak nga lalaki ni Jehoyakim, ang hari sa Juda, ngadto sa pagkabihag gikan sa Jerusalem ngadto sa Babilonia uban sa tanan nga mga pangulo sa Juda ug sa Jerusalem.
In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Juda, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful to them that are left
21 Si Yahweh nga makagagahom, ang Dios sa Israel, miingon niini mahitungod sa mga butang nga nahibilin sa balay ni Yahweh, ang balay sa hari sa Juda, ug sa Jerusalem,
on the land, says the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, says the Lord, and do according to all that I command you.
22 Pagadad-on sila sa Babilonia, ug magpabilin sila didto hangtod sa adlaw nga mobalik ako kanila—mao kini ang gipahayag ni Yahweh—unya ako silang dad-on ug ibalik dinhi niining dapita”
A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans!
How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
They shall come upon you, and you shall not know it, Babylon, that you will even be taken captive: you are found and taken, because you did resist the Lord.
The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God [has] a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
For her times are come: open you her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her.
Dry you up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution.
A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Sion the vengeance [that comes] from the Lord our God.
Summon many against Babylon, [even] every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her [people] escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her warriors shall be cast down, says the Lord.
Behold, I am against you the haughty one, says the Lord: for your day is come, and the time of your retribution.
And your pride shall fail, and fall, and there shall be no one to set it up again: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
Thus says the Lord; The children of Israel and the children of Juda have been oppressed: all they that have taken them captive have oppressed them together; for they would not let them go.
But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name: he will enter into judgment with his adversaries, that he may destroy the earth;
and he will sharpen a sword against the Chaldeans, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her nobles and upon her wise men;
a sword upon her warriors, and they shall be weakened: a sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots:
a sword upon their warriors and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women: a sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water,
and they shall be ashamed: for it is a land of graven [images]; and in the islands, where they boasted.
Therefore shall idols dwell in the islands, and the young of monsters shall dwell in it: it shall not be inhabited any more for ever.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities bordering upon them, says the Lord: no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn there.
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the end of the earth; holding bow and dagger:
[the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy: their voices shall sound as the sea, they shall ride upon horses, prepared for war, like fire, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
The king of Babylon heard the sound of them, and his hands were enfeebled: anguish overcame him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
Behold, he shall come up as a lion from Jordan to Gaethan; for I will speedily drive them from her, and I will set all the youths against her: for who is like me? and who will resist me? and who is this shepherd who will stand before me?
Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has taken against Babylon; and his devices, which he has devised upon the Chaldeans inhabiting [it]: surely lambs of their flock shall be destroyed: surely pasture shall be cut off from them.
For at the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth shall quake, and a cry shall be heard among the nations.
