The word that YHWH has spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of 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 among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say, Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Merodach has been broken, Her grievous things have been put to shame, Her idols have been broken.
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 a nation from the north has come up against her, It makes her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even to beast, They have moved, they have gone.
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 at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “Sons of Israel come in, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And they seek their God YHWH.

All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against YHWH, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers—YHWH.

For behold, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from [the] land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From there she is captured, Its arrow—as a skillful hero—does not return empty,

Your mother has been greatly ashamed, She who bore you has been confounded, Behold, the last of nations [is] a wilderness, A dry land, and a desert.

Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
