Jeremiah 50

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

The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon, concerning 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 among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and do not conceal: say, 'Babylon is taken, Bel is disappointed, Marduk is dismayed; her images are disappointed, her idols are dismayed.

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 in it: they are fled, they are gone, both man and animal.

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 Jehovah, 'the children of Israel shall come, they and the people of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Jehovah 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 inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it. They will come and join themselves to Jehovah in an everlasting 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 have 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 who found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, "We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, 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.

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male 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, look, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company 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 like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.

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

Chaldea shall be a prey: all who prey on her shall be satisfied,' says Jehovah.'

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 are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses;

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 utterly disappointed; she who bore you shall be confounded: look, she shall be the least of the nations, 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 Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: everyone who 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!

"Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against Jehovah.

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 all around: she has submitted herself; her towers are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of Jehovah: 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 who handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone 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 hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadnezzar 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 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, 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.

I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in 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 Jehovah, 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 leave as a remnant."'"

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: kill and utterly destroy after them," says Jehovah, "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 apart 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, Babylon, and you weren't aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against Jehovah.

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.

Jehovah has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, has a work to do 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.

Kill all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, their day has 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 those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah 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 those who bend the bow; camp against her all around; let none of it escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against Jehovah, 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 her young men will fall in her streets, and all her men of war will be brought to silence in that day," says Jehovah.

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.

"Look, I am against you, you proud one," says Jehovah of hosts; for your day has 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.

The proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all who are around 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 Jehovah of hosts: "The children of Israel and the people of Judah are oppressed together; and all who took them captive hold them fast; they refuse 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; Jehovah of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, 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 Jehovah, "and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her officials, 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 boasters, and they shall become fools; 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 mixed people who are in the midst 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 a land of engraved images, and they glory over 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 animals of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell in it: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be lived 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 when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it," says Jehovah, "so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."

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

"Look, a people comes from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts 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 lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, 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 news of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.

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.

Look, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who can 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 the counsel of Jehovah, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: "Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over 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 trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations."
