< Jeremiah 50 >
1 Tonghma Jeremiah kut dongah BOEIPA loh Babylon ham neh Khalden khohmuen ham ol a thui.
THE word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Namtom taengah puen lamtah yaak sak laeh. Rholik te thoh uh lamtah na yaak sak te phah boeh. “Babylon te a loh vetih Bel khaw yak ni, Marduk te rhihyawp vetih a muei a rhoi vaengah a mueirhol te yawk ni.
Declare ye 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 Tlangpuei lamkah namtom loh anih te a paan vetih a khohmuen te imsuep la a khueh ni. A khuiah khosa ham hlang om pawt vetih rhamsa ni rhaehba ham a pongpa eh.
For out of the north there cometh 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 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin kah a tue vaengah tah amih Israel ca rhoek neh Judah ca he tun pongpa ham ha pawk uh ni. Te vaengah a rhah neh pongpa uh vetih BOEIPA a Pathen te a toem uh ni.
In those days, and in that time, saith 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 A maelhmai a hooi uh vetih Zion longpuei te a dawt uh ni. Ha pawk uh vaengah BOEIPA taengla naep uh vetih kumhal kah paipi te hnilh mahpawh.
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 Ka pilnam he boiva aka milh bangla om rhoe om coeng. Amih aka dawn loh amih te kho a hmang sak tih tlang ah hnukcol la a mael sak. Tlang lamloh som la luei uh tih a kolhmuen te a hnilh uh.
My people hath 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 restingplace.
7 Amih te aka hmu sarhui loh a ngaeh uh ni. A rhal rhoek loh, “Duengnah tolkhoeng BOEIPA neh a napa rhoek kah ngaiuepnah BOEIPA taengah a tholh uh dongah m'boe uh moenih,” a ti uh.
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 lakli lamloh rhaehba lamtah Khalden khohmuen lamloh coe rhoe coe uh laeh. Boiva kah mikhmuh ah kikong bangla om uh.
Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
9 Tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh namtom pilnu hlangping te ka haeng tih Babylon taengla ka thak coeng he. Anih te rhong a pai thil vetih a thaltang khaw pahoi a rhawt pah ni. Hlangrhalh tah cakol bangla kuttling la mael mahpawh.
For, lo, 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 thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
10 Khalden khaw anih aka buem boeih kah kutbuem la om vetih cung uh ni.
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.
11 Na kohoe la hoe uh tih kai kah rho aka tukvat uh loh na sundaep la na sundaep uh. Cang aka til vaito bangla na pet na pet uh tih na hlampan khaw vaito lueng bangla na hlampan uh.
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
12 Na nu te yak vetih nang aka cun khaw namtom thaihdong, rhamrhae neh kolken kah khosoek ah tlal ngam ni.
Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 BOEIPA kah a thinhul ah khosa uh pawt vetih a pum la khopong la poeh ni. Babylon kah aka cet boeih tah pong vetih a hmasoe cungkuem ah hlip ni.
Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Lii aka pom boeih Babylon kaepvai ah rhongpai uh lamtah anih te omtoem uh laeh. BOEIPA taengah a tholh dongah thaltang te hnaih uh boeh.
Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.
15 Anih te a kaepvai ah yuhui thil uh. A kut kha tih a yung yung ah cungku coeng. BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah dongah khaw a vongtung khaw koengloeng uh coeng. Anih sokah phu a loh bangla a taengah saii rhoe saii pah.
Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
16 Babylon lamkah lo aka tawn neh cangah tue ah vinkui aka pom te saii laeh. Aka vuelvaek kah cunghang hman ah hlang he amah pilnam taengla mael saeh lamtah hlang he amah khohmuen la rhaelrham saeh.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth 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 khaw sathueng kah a yaal tu bangla a heh coeng. Lamhma ah Assyria manghai loh a yoop tih a hmailong he Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a khat pah.
Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
18 Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Assyria manghai taengah ka cawh bangla Babylon manghai neh a khohmuen te ka cawh coeng ne.
Therefore thus saith 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 Tedae Israel te amah tolkhoeng la ka mael vetih Karmel neh Bashan ah, Ephraim tlang neh Gilead ah khaw a hinglu te kodam la luem ni.
And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 Te khohnin neh BOEIPA kah olphong tue ah Israel kah thaesainah te tlap cakhaw om mahpawh. Judah tholhnah te khaw hmu uh mahpawh. Ka hlun rhoek te khodawk ka ngai ni.
In those days, and in that time, saith 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 khohmuen amah te paan uh. Pekod khosa rhoek te khap uh lamtah amih hnukkah te thup uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te dongah nang kang uen te a cungkuem la saii uh.
Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 Khohmuen kah caemtloek ol neh pocinah tanglue aih te.
A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 Diklai pum kah kilung tah tlawt tih paep coeng. Balae tih Babylon he namtom lakli ah imsuep la a poeh.
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 Babylon aw na ming pawt vaengah nang kan hlaeh tih na man van coeng. BOEIPA te na huek dongah ni m'hmuh tih n'tuuk van.
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord.
25 BOEIPA loh a thakvoh te a ong tih Khalden khohmuen ah caempuei Yahovah Boeipa kah bitat ham a kosi hnopai te a poh coeng.
The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath 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 Khobawt lamloh anih te paan laeh. A cangboh te ong lamtah, a canghlom bangla tul pah. Amah te thup uh lamtah a taengah a meet khaw om boel saeh.
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 A vaito khaw boeih kaeh pah uh lamtah maeh la suntla uh saeh. Anunae amih aih te, amih a ngoldoelh tue kah a khohnin ha pai coeng.
Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 Babylon khohmuen lamkah rhaelrham neh hlangyong rhoek ol loh Mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah tawnlohnah neh a bawkim kah tawnlohnah ni Zion ah a doek eh.
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 Lithen Babylon la yaak sak uh. Lii aka kap boeih loh a kaepvai ah rhaeh uh. A khuikah te rhalyong la om boel saeh. A khoboe bangla amah te thuung uh. Israel kah a cim BOEIPA taengah a lokhak dongah a saii boeih te a taengah saii uh.
Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Te dongah a tongpang rhoek te a toltung ah cungku uh ni. Te khohnin ah anih kah caemtloek hlang boeih khaw kuemsuem uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord.
31 He tah caempuei Yahovah ka Boeipa kah olphong ni. Nang taengah ka altha he khaw, nang kan cawh tue kah, na khohnin ha pawk coeng dongah ni.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
32 Althanah te paloe vetih cungku ni. Anih aka thoh te om mahpawh. A khopuei ah hmai ka hlup vetih a kaepvai boeih a hlawp ni.
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 Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel ca neh Judah ca te rhenten a hnaemtaek uh. Amih aka sol boeih loh amih te a parhaeng uh tih amih hlah ham a aal uh.
Thus saith 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 Amih aka tlan tah tlungluen tih a ming khaw caempuei YAHWEH ni. Amih kah tuituknah te a oelh rhoe a oelh pah ni. Te daengah ni khohmuen te a hoep vetih Babylon khosa rhoek te a tlai sak eh.
Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 BOEIPA olphong bangla cunghang te Khalden taeng neh Babylon khosa rhoek taengah, a mangpa rhoek taeng neh a hlangcueih rhoek taengah ka tueih ni.
A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 cunghang te olsai taengah ka tueih vetih nga uh ni. cunghang te a hlangrhalh rhoek taengah ka tueih vetih rhihyawp uh ni.
A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 Cunghang te a marhang taeng neh a leng taengah, a khui kah namcom boeih taengah ka tueih vetih huta bangla om uh ni. Cunghang te a thakvoh taengah ka tueih vetih a poelyoe uh ni.
A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38 Te mueidaep khohmuen neh mueirhih dongah a yan uh te a tui sokah kholing loh a rhae bitni.
A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.
39 Te dongah kohong sa-ui neh kho a sak uh vetih a khuiah tuirhuk vanu loh kho a sak ni. Te vaengah a yoeyah la khosa voel pawt vetih cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela khosa mahpawh.
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 dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Pathen loh Sodom neh Gomorrah neh a imben rhoek imrhong la a khueh bangla hlang loh khosa pawt vetih a khuiah hlang capa loh bakuep mahpawh.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

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.

They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Amih kah olthang te Babylon manghai loh a yaak vaengah a kut khaw tahah coeng. Citcai loh anih te ca-om bangla bungtloh neh a kolek.
The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 Sathueng bangla Jordan kah mingthennah lamloh tangkuek tolkhoeng la cet. Amih te ka hoep vetih te lamloh ka yong rhoe ka yong sak ni. Anih aka coelh te khaw ka cawh ta. Kamah bangla unim aka om tih unim kai aka tuentah? He he unim aka dawn tih ka mikhmuh ah unim aka pai thai?
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto 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 Te dongah Babylon ham a uen BOEIPA kah cilsuep neh Khalden khohmuen ham a kopoek a moeh te hnatun uh. Boiva ca rhoek te a sol kuekluek pawt vetih a tolkhoeng ah pong kuekluek mahpawt nim?
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath 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 a tuuk ol dongah diklai tuen vetih a pang te namtom lakli ah a yaak ni.
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
