Jeremiah 50

1 Babylon hoi Khaldian kaminawk misa haih lok kawng pongah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe,

The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

2 prae kaminawk boih khaeah thui oh, tahmaih ai ah kahni to payang oh loe, kami boih panoek o sak ah; Babylon to lak o boeh, Bel sithaw loe azat paw boeh; Merodak sithaw doeh angkhaeh lawt boeh; anih ih krangnawk loe azat paw o boeh moe, koih o boih boeh.

Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

3 Anih misatuk hanah aluek bang ih prae maeto angzo ueloe, prae to amrosak tih, to prae thungah mi doeh om mak ai; kami hoi moi loe to ahmuen hoiah cawn o boih tih.

For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

4 To na ni hoi to atue thuem ah, Israel caanawk loe Judah caanawk hoi nawnto angzo o tih; mikkhraetui krakhaih hoiah caeh o ueloe, angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to pakrong o tih.

In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.

5 Zion bangah anghae o ueloe, caehhaih loklam to dueng o tih, nihcae mah, Angzo oh, pahnet thai ai lokmaihaih hoiah Angraeng khaeah anghnai o si, tiah thui o tih boeh.

They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.

6 Kai kaminawk loe anghmaa tuu baktiah oh o; angmacae tuutoep kaminawk mah loklam anghmang o haih pongah, mae nuiah loklam anghmang o boeh; nihcae loe mae hoi maesom bangah amhet o, angmacae anghakhaih ahmuen to anghmang o ving boeh.

My people has been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.

7 Nihcae hnu kaminawk mah nihcae to hum o; nihcae ih misanawk mah, Nihcae loe angmacae ampanawk mah oep o ih Angraeng, nihcae toenghaih Angraeng nuiah zaehaih sak o pongah, kaicae mah sak ih hmuen loe zaehaih ah om ai, tiah a thuih o.

All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.

8 Babylon hoiah cawn oh; Khaldian prae thung hoiah tacawt oh; tuunawk hmaa ah kacaeh maeh tae baktiah om oh.

Remove out of the middle of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

9 Khenah, kalen parai aluek bang ih prae kaminawk to ka pahruek moe, Babylon vangpui ah ka hoih han; nihcae mah Babylon tuk hanah amkhueng o ueloe, naeh o tih; nihcae ih kalii loe thacak misatuh kami ih kalii baktiah, kah koehhaih ahmuen to cop ai ah om mak ai.

For, see, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

10 Khaldian loe to tiah amro tih; anih ih hmuenmae lomh kaminawk loe zok amhah o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, says the LORD.

11 Aw kai ih qawk lomh kami nangcae loe na kawnh o moe, palung nang hoe o; cang atii maitaw tala baktiah na thawk o hruk moe, maitaw taenawk baktiah nam buu o;

Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of my heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

12 to pongah nam no loe anghmang kathok ah khosah tih, nang tapenkung loe azat paw tih; khenah, prae thung boih ah kathoeng koek prae to praezaek, prae karoem hoi prae kangqo ah om tih.

Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed: behold, the last of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

13 Angraeng palunghui pongah mi doeh a thungah om mak ai, angqai krang ah om tih boeh; Babylon taengah caeh kaminawk boih dawnrai o ueloe, anih patangkhanghaih to pahnui o thui tih.

Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

14 Babylon taeng boih ih misatukhaih ahmuen to la oh; anih loe Angraeg nuiah zaehaih sak pongah, kalii takoih kaminawk, paquem ai ah anih to kalii hoiah kaat oh!

Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.

15 Anih taeng boih ah hang oh; anih loe ban payangh boeh; anih angdoethaih ahmuen hoi sipaenawk doeh amtim boeh; hae loe Angraeng lu lakhaih ah oh pongah, a nuiah lu la oh; anih mah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah a nuiah sah pae oh.

Shout against her round about: she has given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.

16 Babylon ah cang aah tue phak naah cangti haeh kami hoi cakra sin kami to anghmat o sak hmah; pacaekthlaek thaih kami ih sumsen to zit pongah, kami boih angmah ih kaminawk khaeah amlaem o ueloe, angmah prae ah cawn o boih tih.

Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

17 Israel loe anghaeh phang tuu ah ni oh; kaipuinawk mah anih to haek ving boeh; Assyria siangpahrang mah anih to caak hmaloe; hnukkhuem koekah Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah anih ih ahuhnawk to khaeh pae boih.

Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria has devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.

18 To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Khenah, Assyria siangpahrang ka thuitaek baktih toengah, Babylon siangpahrang hoi anih ih prae to ka thuitaek han, tiah thuih.

Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.

19 Toe Israel to angmah ohhaih ahmuen ah ka caeh haih let han, Karmel hoi Bashan ah anih to ka pacah han, Ephraim hoi Gilead mae nuiah anih hinghaih zok to amhah tih.

And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on mount Ephraim and Gilead.

20 To na ni hoi atue ah loe, Israel zaehaih to pakrong tih, toe maeto doeh hnu mak ai; Judah zaehaihnawk doeh pakrong tih, toe hnu mak ai; ka pathlung ih kaminawk ni ka tahmen han.

In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

21 Merathaim prae hoi Pekod ah kaom kaminawk tuk hanah caeh oh; nihcae to hum oh loe tamit oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, kang thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah oh.

Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you.

22 Misatukhaih lok hoi amrohaih lok loe prae thungah oh.

A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

23 Long boih atumhaih caki loe kawbangmaw koih ving moe, Babylon loe kawbangmaw prae kaminawk salakah angqai krang ah oh ving!

How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

24 Aw Babylon, nang hanah thaang kang patung pae, nang loe panoek ai ah na man boeh; Angraeng ih lok to na aek pongah, nang to ang hnuk moe, ang naeh boeh.

I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.

25 Angraeng loe maiphaw suekhaih ahmuen to paongh moe, palung a phuihaih maiphawnawk to a sinh; hae tok loe Khaldian kaminawk ih prae thungah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah sak ih tok ah oh.

The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.

26 Kangthla parai ahmuen hoiah anih tuk hanah angzo oh loe, anih ih hmuenmae suekhaih imnawk to paong oh; anih to kamro hmuen angpop baktiah tapop oh loe, hnukkhuem ah paro oh; maeto doeh tahmat o hmah nasoe.

Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.

27 Anih ih maitaw taenawk to bop o boih ah; nihcae loe bohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o tathuk nasoe; nihcae loe khosak bing o! Nihcae thuitaekhaih ni hoi atue loe phak boeh.

Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.

28 Kaicae Angraeng Sithaw lu lakhaih hoi anih ih tempul lu lakhaih loe Babylon prae thung hoi kaloih, kacawn kaminawk mah Zion ah taphong o boeh.

The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.

29 Babylon kah hanah kalii kaat thaih kaminawk to kawk cuu ah; anih to takui o khoep ah, maeto doeh pathlung o hmah; anih mah Israel Ciimcai Kami, Angraeng to amoek thuih pongah, a sak ih hmuen baktiah pathok oh; a sak ih hmuennawk boih baktiah a nuiah sah pae o toeng ah.

Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

30 To pongah thendoengnawk loe loklam ah amtim o tih, to na niah loe Babylon misatuh kaminawk to sung o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.

31 Aw amoek kami nang, khenah, nang to kang tuk han boeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih; nang kang thuitaekhaih ni hoi atue loe phak boeh.

Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the Lord GOD of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you.

32 Amoek kami loe amthaek ueloe, amtim tih, mi mah doeh pathawk mak ai; anih ih vangpuinawk to hmai hoiah ka thlaek pae han, a taengah kaom kaminawk boih hmai mah kang tih.

And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

33 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, Israel hoi Judah loe pacaekthlaek ih kami ah oh o; naeh kaminawk mah nihcae to misong ah suek o, prawt han koeh o ai, tiah thuih.

Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

34 Toe nihcae krangkung loe thacak; anih loe misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah ahmin oh; nihcae to Angraeng mah angsak haih tih, nihcae han prae monghaih to paek ueloe, monghaih om ai hmuen to Babylon ah sin pae lat tih.

Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

35 Sumsen loe Khaldian kaminawk, Babylon ah kaom kaminawk, anih ih angraengnawk, anih ih palungha kaminawk nuiah oh boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

A sword is on the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her princes, and on her wise men.

36 Lok amlai kaminawk nuiah sumsen phak naah, nihcae loe amthu o tih; thacak misatuh kaminawk nuiah sumsen phak naah, nihcae palung boeng o tih.

A sword is on the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is on her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

37 Sumsen loe hrangnawk, hrang lakoknawk hoi anih khaeah kaom congca kaminawk nuiah pha tih; nihcae loe nongpatanawk baktiah om o tih; hmuenmae suekhaih ahmuen ah sumsen phak naah, misanawk mah hmuenmae to lomh o boih tih.

A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mingled people that are in the middle of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

38 Vangpui thungah tui kanghaih oh pongah, tuinawk loe kang o boih tih; to prae loe krangnawk hoiah koi, prae kaminawk loe a sak o ih krangnawk to oep o lat.

A drought is on her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad on their idols.

39 To ahmuen ah praezaek ih moisannawk, tasuinawk hoi bukbuhnawk ni om o tih; mi doeh to ahmuen ah om mak ai; adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to kami mah om haih mak ai boeh.

Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation.

40 Sithaw mah Sodom hoi Gomorrah, a taeng ih vangpuinawk vah phaeng baktiah om tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; to pongah mi doeh to ah om mak ai, kawbaktih kami doeh a thungah om mak ai.

As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

41 Khenah, kami acaeng maeto aluek bang hoiah angzo tih, long boenghaih hoiah thacak acaeng hoi siangpahrangnawk angthawk o tih.

Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

42 Nihcae loe kalii hoi tayae to sinh o; hmawsaeng o parai, tahmenhaih tawn o mak ai; nihcae loe hrang nuiah angthueng o tih, nihcae ih lok loe tuipui tuen baktiah tuen tih; Aw Babylon canu, kami boih misatuh kami baktiah amthoep o ueloe, nang tuk hanah angzo o tih.

They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride on horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.

43 Babylon siangpahrang mah nihcae ih tamthang to thaih naah, a ban thazok pae sut; nongpata ca tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah, kanung parai nathaih mah anih to patawnh caeng boeh.

The king of Babylon has heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

44 Khenah, anih loe Jordan taw hoi phroh saihaih ahmuen ah angzo tahang kaipui baktiah angzo tih; toe nihcae loe Babylon prae thung hoiah ka cawnsak ving han; anih nuiah suek han ka qoih ih kami loe mi aa? Kai hoi anghmong mi maw kaom? Mi maw Kai han atue khaek thaih? Ka hmaa ah angdoe thai koi tuutoep kami mi maw kaom? tiah a thuih.

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

45 To pongah Babylon tuk hanah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok, anih amsakhaihnawk, Khaldian kaminawk ih prae tuk han pacaenghaih to tahngai oh; misa mah thacak ai tuunawk to lomh pae ving ueloe, nihcae ohhaih ahmuen doeh amrosak tangtang tih.

Therefore hear you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.

46 Babylon vangpui tukhaih lok pongah long to anghuen ueloe, qahhaih lok loe prae kaminawk boih khaeah amthang tih.

At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
