Jeremiah 51
1 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kutcaihnah mueihla te Babylon taeng neh, Lebkamai khosa rhoek taengah ka haeng coeng ne.
“Yahweh says this: See, I am about to stir up a wind of destruction against Babylon and against those who live in Leb Kamai.
2 Babylon taengah kholong rhoek neh anih aka vam te ka tueih ni. A yoethae hnin ah tah a khohmuen te a kaepvai ah a om thil vetih a hlaih ni.
I will send foreigners to Babylon. They will scatter her and devastate her land, for they will come against her from all around on the day of disaster.
3 A lii aka nuen loh nuen khaw nuen mai saeh lamtah a caempho te khuen saeh. Te vaengah a tongpang rhoek te hnaih kolla a caempuei khaw boeih thup uh saeh.
Do not let the archers bend their bows; do not let them put on armor. Do not spare her young men; set her whole army apart for destruction.
4 Khalden khohmuen kah rhok neh a kawtpoeng kah a thun rhoek khaw cungku uh ni.
For the wounded people will fall in the land of the Chaldeans; those who are killed will fall in her streets.
5 Amih kah Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh Israel neh Judah te a hnong van pawt bangla Israel kah aka cim taeng lamkah moeithennah tah amih khohmuen ah cung coeng.
For Israel and Judah are not forsaken by their God, by Yahweh of hosts, although their land is filled with offenses committed against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Babylon khui lamloh rhaelrham saeh lamtah hlang loh a hinglu te hlawt saeh. Amih kathaesainah dongah ngam boeh. BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah tue ah tah amah neh a tiing la a taengah a thuung.
Flee from the midst of Babylon; let each man save himself. Do not perish in her iniquity. For it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance. He will repay all of it to her.
7 BOEIPA kut kah Babylon sui boengloeng loh diklai pum a rhuihmil sak. A misurtui te namtom loh a ok tih namtom khaw yan uh.
Babylon was a golden cup in the hand of Yahweh that made all the world drunk; nations drank her wine and became insane.
8 Babylon te buengrhuet cungku vetih bawt ni. Anih ham rhung uh lamtah thingpi loh pa uh lah, a nganboh te a hoeih pah khaming.
Babylon will fall suddenly and be destroyed. Wail for her! Give her medicine for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
9 Babylon te n'toi khaw n'toi dae a hoeih moenih. Anih te hnoo uh lamtah hlang loh amah khohmuen la cet uh saeh. A laitloeknah loh vaan duela a pha tih khomong duela a toh.
'We wished to heal Babylon, but she is not healed. Let us all leave her and go away, to our own land. For her guilt reaches up to the heavens; it is piled up to the clouds.
10 BOEIPA loh kaimih kah duengnah hang khuen te khuen uh sih lamtah kaimih Pathen BOEIPA kah khoboe te Zion ah doek uh sih.
Yahweh has declared our innocence. Come, let us tell in Zion the deeds of Yahweh our God.'
11 Thaltang te meet lamtah photling te cung sakuh. BOEIPA loh Madai manghai kah mueihla te a haeng coeng. A thuepnah lamloh BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah neh a bawkim kah tawnlohnah dongah Babylon te phae kuekluek ham om.
Sharpen the arrows and take up the shields. Yahweh is stirring up the spirit of the king of the Medes in a plan to destroy Babylon. This is for Yahweh's vengeance, vengeance for the destruction of his temple.
12 Babylon vongtung te rholik ling thiluh. Thongim te bingbo lamtah rhaltawt hlah uh. Rhongngol te soepsoei uh. Babylon khosa rhoek a voek tih BOEIPA loh a mangtaeng te khaw a saii bal ni.
Lift up a banner over Babylon's walls; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the LORD will do what he has said concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 A tui aka buem taengah kho aka sa, kho aka sa kah thakvoh he len dae na mueluemnah dong khat te na bawtnah la pawk coeng.
You people who live by many streams of water, you people who are rich with treasures, your end has come. The thread of your life is now cut short.
14 Caempuei BOEIPA loh a hinglu neh a toemngam coeng. Hlang te lungang bangla nang kan cung sak kuekluek vetih nang te tamlung neh n'doo uh ni.
Yahweh of hosts has sworn by his own life, 'I will fill you with men, like a swarm of locusts, and they will raise a battle cry against you.'
15 A thadueng lamloh diklai a saii tih a cueihnah loh lunglai a picai. A lungcuei neh vaan a cueh.
He has made the earth by his power; he set in place the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
16 Vaan kah tui len khaw ol a paek tih diklai khobawt lamkah khomong a luei sak. Khotlan ham rhaek a saii tih a thakvoh lamloh khohli hang khuen.
When he thunders, there is the roar of waters in the heavens, for he brings up the mist from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for rain and sends out wind from his storehouses.
17 A mingnah lamloh hlang boeih a dom tih mueithuk aka picai boeih khaw yak. A tuisi hong neh amih khuiah mueihla a om moenih.
Every man has become ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds, and there is no life in them.
18 Akaimih kah a honghi neh a hohap bibi te a cawhnah tue ah paltham bitni.
They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish at the time of their punishment.
19 Jakob kah khoyo tah te bang moenih. A ming khaw caempuei Yahweh tih a cungkuem amah kah rho koca la a hlinsai.
But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
20 Nang tah ka caemboh neh caemtloek tubael ni. Nang te namtom kan daeh nah vetih nang te ram kam phae nah ni.
You are my war hammer, my weapon for battle. With you I will smash nations and destroy kingdoms.
21 Nang te marhang neh a sokah aka ngol te kan daeh nah vetih nang te leng neh a sokah aka ngol te kan daeh nah ni.
With you I will smash horses and their riders; with you I will smash chariots and their drivers.
22 Nang te huta tongpa kan daeh nah vetih nang te patong camoe kan daeh nah bal ni. Nang te tongpang, oila kan daeh nah ni.
With you I will smash each man and woman; with you I will smash the old and the young. With you I will smash the young men and the virgin girls.
23 Nang te boiva aka dawn neh a tuping khaw kan daeh nah vetih nang te lopho neh a tarhoi kan daeh nah ni. Nang te rhalboei neh ukkung te kan daeh nah ni.
With you I will smash the shepherds and their flocks; with you I will smash the plowmen and their teams. With you I will smash the governors and officials.
24 Zion kah namah mikhmuh ah a boethae cungkuem a saii uh te Babylon taeng neh Khalden khosa boeih taengah ka thuung ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
For in your sight I will pay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all of the evil that they did in Zion—this is Yahweh's declaration.
25 Kutcaihnah tlang nang taengah ka pai coeng ne. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Diklai boeih aka phae khaw nang taengla ka kut ka thueng ni. Te vaengah thaelpang lamloh nang kam paluet vetih ungkhang tlang la nang kang khueh ni.
See, I am against you, mountain of destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—which destroys the whole earth. I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain.
26 Nang lamkah te bangkil lung neh tungkho lung khaw lo uh mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olphong bangla kumhal due khopong la na om ni.
So they will not take from you any stone to construct a building's corner or foundation; for you will become an everlasting devastation—this is Yahweh's declaration.
27 Diklai ah rholik thoh uh lamtah namtom taengah tuki ueng uh. Namtom taengah ciim uh lamtah a ram soah khaw yaak sakuh. Minni Ararat neh Ashkenaz te rhalboei khueh thil lamtah marhang te lungang hathawp bangla yuel sakuh.
Lift up a banner over the earth. Blow the trumpet over the nations. Call the nations to attack her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander to attack her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.
28 Namtom Madai manghai rhoek neh a rhalboei rhoek, a ukkung boeih neh a khohung khohmuen boeih anih taengah ciim uh laeh.
Prepare the nations to attack her: The kings of the Medes and his governors, all of his officials and all the lands under his rule.
29 Khosak pawt hil Babylon khohmuen te imsuep la khueh ham Babylon sokah BOEIPA kopoek te a thoh dongah khohmuen hinghuen tih kilkul ni.
For the land will shake and be in anguish, since Yahweh's plans continue against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a wasteland where there is no inhabitant.
30 Babylon hlangrhalh loh vathoh ham khaw paa uh tih rhalmahim ah ngol uh. Amih kah thayung thamal te tla coeng tih huta bangla om uh. A tolhmuen a hlup uh tih a thohkalh ngen coeng.
The soldiers in Babylon have stopped fighting; they stay in their strongholds. Their strength has failed; they have become women—her homes are on fire, the bars of her gates are broken.
31 A khopuei a bawt duela a loh pah te Babylon manghai taengah puen ham, aka yong loh aka yong te doe ham neh, aka puen loh aka puen te doe ham yong uh.
A messenger runs to proclaim to another messenger, and a runner tells another runner to report to the king of Babylon that his city has been taken from end to end.
32 Lamkai te a tlaeng uh tih tuibap te hmai neh a hoeh uh. Te dongah caemtloek hlang rhoek khaw let uh.
So the fords over the river are seized; the enemy is burning the reed marshes, and Babylon's fighting men are confused.
33 Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A til tue ah tah Babylon nu te cangtilhmuen bangla om pawn vetih a taengah cangah tue pai pawn ni.
For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. It is time to trample her down. In a little while the time of harvest will come to her.
34 Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh kaimih n'yoop tih kamah khaw n'yoop coeng, kaimih n'khawkkhek tih kamah n'khawkkhek coeng. Kaimih he am hong la n'khueh tih kamah khaw n'khueh. Tuihnam bangla kaimih he n'dolh tih kai khaw n'dolh. Ka omthennah neh a bungpuei a hah phoeiah tah kaimih te n'hoek tih kai khaw n'hoek.
'Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me, he has driven me into confusion and has made me an empty pot. Like a monster he has swallowed me, he has filled his stomach with my delicious foods, and then he has spit me out.'
35 Zion khosa rhoek loh, “ka kuthlahnah neh ka pumsa he Babylon soah tla saeh,” ti saeh. Jerusalem loh, “Ka thii Khalden khosa rhoek soah tla saeh,” ti uh saeh.
The one who lives in Zion will say, 'May the violence done to me and my flesh be on Babylon.' Jerusalem will say, 'May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea.'
36 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na tuituknah te kai loh kang rhoe tih nang kah tawnlohnah khaw phu ka loh ni. Te vaengah a tuipuei te ka kak sak vetih a thunsih te ka haang sak ni.
Therefore Yahweh says this: See, I am about to plead your case and bring about vengeance for you. For I will dry up Babylon's waters and make her springs run dry.
37 Babylon te pongui kah khuirhung lungkuk la om vetih imsuep neh a thuithetnah la khosa om mahpawh.
Babylon will become heaps of rubble, a den of jackals, a horror, an object of hissing, where there are no inhabitants.
38 Sathuengca bangla huek kawk uh tih sathueng casen bangla cai uh.
The Babylonians will roar together like young lions. They will growl like lion cubs.
39 A bae vaengah a buhkoknah ka khueh pah saeh lamtah amih ka rhuihmil sak eh. Te daengah ni sundaep uh vetih aka ip loh kumhal due a ih vaengah a haenghang uh pawt eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
When they become hot with greed, I will make a feast for them; I will make them drunk so they become happy, and then sleep an unending sleep and not wake up—this is Yahweh's declaration—
40 Amih te tuca bangla ngawn ham tutal neh kikong bangla ka suntlak sak ni.
I will send them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41 Balae tih Sheshak te a loh veith diklai pum kah koehnah te a loh eh? Balae tih Babylon he namtom taengah imsuep la a om eh?
How Babylon has been captured! So the praise of all the earth is seized. How Babylon has become a ruined place among the nations.
42 Babylon soah tuitunli loh a khuk tih a tuiphu tuilipo loh a et.
The sea has come up over Babylon! She is covered with its roaring waves.
43 A khopuei te rhamrhae khohmuen neh khohmuen kolken kah imsuep la poeh. A khuihah hlang boeih khosa pawt tih hlang capa tah te longah ah pongpa pawh.
Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land and a wilderness, a land that no one inhabits, and no human being passes through.
44 Babylon kah Bel te ka cawh coeng tih a dolhhnap te a ka lamloh ka yawt pah. Te dongah namtom khaw a taengah hlampan voel pawt tih Babylon vongtung khaw cungku van.
So I will punish Bel in Babylon; I will bring out from his mouth what he swallowed, and the nations will no longer flow to him with their offerings. The walls of Babylon will fall.
45 Ka pilnam te a khui lamloh coe laeh saeh lamtah hlang loh a hinglu te BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa lamloh loeih sak laeh.
Go out from her midst, my people. Let each of you save his own life from the fury of my wrath.
46 Nangmih thinko te phoena vetih khohmuen kah olthang na yaak vaengah na rhih uh ve. Kum khat dongkah olthang phoeiah kum khat dongah olthang he ha pawk. Diklai ah kuthlahnah he aka taemrhai loh aka taemrhai taengah a khueh.
Do not let your hearts be timid or fear the news that is heard in the land, for the news will come one year. After it in the next year there will be news, and violence will be in the land. Ruler will be against ruler.
47 Te dongah khohnin ha pawk coeng he. Babylon mueidaep te ka cawh coeng dongah a khohmuen boeih yak pawn ni. A rhok boeih te a khui ah yalh ni.
Therefore, see, days are coming when I will punish the carved idols of Babylon. All of her land will be ashamed, and all of her slaughtered ones will fall in her midst.
48 Te vaengah vaan neh diklai loh Babylon a tamhoe thil vetih anih aka rhoelrhak te tlangpuei lamloh amih taengah boeih ha pawk ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them will rejoice over Babylon. For destroyers will come for her from the north—this is Yahweh's declaration.
49 Israel rhok aka yalh sak khaw Babylon tangkhuet, diklai pum rhok la aka yalh sak khaw Babylon tangkhuet ni.
As Babylon has made the killed of Israel fall, so the killed of all her land will fall in Babylon.
50 cunghang lamkah hlangyong rhoek loh pai kolla cet uh. Khohla lamloh BOEIPA te poek uh lamtah Jerusalem te na thinko ah dueh.
Survivors of the sword, go away! Do not stay still. Call Yahweh to mind from far away; let Jerusalem come to mind.
51 BOEIPA im kah rhokso ah kholong rhoek kun uh tih kaimih maelhmai mingthae han hluk te kokhahnah la n'yaak uh dongah n'yak uh.
We are ashamed, for we have heard insults; reproach has covered our faces, for foreigners have entered the holy places of Yahweh's house.
52 Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng he. A mueidaep te ka cawh thil vetih a khohmuen pum ah a rhok neh kii ni.
Therefore, see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will punish her carved idols, and the wounded people will groan in all of her land.
53 Babylon te vaan la luei mai tih a sarhi hmuensang te bit cakhaw anih aka rhoelrhak te kamah taeng lamloh thoeng uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
For even if Babylon went up to the heavens or fortified her highest fortresses, destroyers would come from me to her—this is Yahweh's declaration.
54 Babylon lamkah a pang ol neh Khalden khohmuen lamkah pocinah tanglue aih te.
A shout of distress came from Babylon, a great collapse from the land of the Chaldeans.
55 BOEIPA loh Babylon te a rhoelrhak coeng tih, anih lamkah ol tanglue khaw a paltham sak. Tui len bangla a tuiphu loh kawk tih, a ol te longlonah la a huel.
For Yahweh is destroying Babylon. He is causing her loud voice to perish. Their enemies roar like the waves of many waters; their noise becomes very strong.
56 Babylon aka rhoelrhak te anih taengla pawk ni. Te vaengah a hlangrhalh rhoek a tuuk vetih, a lii khaw yawk ni. BOEIPA Pathen loh a khoboe te a thuung rhoe a thuung ni.
For the destroyers have come against her—against Babylon!—and her warriors have been captured. Their bows are broken, for Yahweh is the God of vengeance; he will surely carry out this repayment.
57 A mangpa rhoek neh a hlangcueih, a rhalboei neh anih kah ukkung rhoek khaw, a hlangrhalh khaw ka rhuihmil sak ni. Te vaengah kumhal due ip rhoe ip vetih haenghang uh mahpawh. A ming ah caempuei manghai, Yahweh kah olphong ni.
For I will make her princes, her sages, her officials, and her soldiers drunk, and they will sleep in an unending sleep and never wake up —this is the King's declaration: Yahweh of hosts is his name.
58 Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Babylon vongtung a thah te a phae rhoe a phae ni. A vongka a sang te hmai dongah a hlup uh ni. Pilnam kah a kohnue carhil khaw a poeyoek la om tih namtu khaw hmai carhil dongah tawnba uh bal.
Yahweh of hosts says this: The thick walls of Babylon will be completely demolished, and her high gates will be burned. Then the peoples coming to her aid will labor uselessly; everything that the nations try to do for her will be burned up.”
59 Judah manghai Zedekiah a manghai kah a kum li dongah amah neh Babylon la a caeh vaengah tonghma Jeremiah loh Maaseiah koca Neriah capa Seraiah te ol a uen. Te vaengah Seraiah kah a mangpa tah duemnah la om.
This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was a chief officer.
60 Te dongah Babylon ah aka pawk ham boethae cungkuem neh Babylon ham a daek ol cungkuem te khaw cabu pakhat dongah Jeremiah loh a daek.
For Jeremiah had written in a scroll about all the disaster that was going to come on Babylon—all these words that were written about Babylon.
61 Te vaengah Jeremiah loh Seraiah taengah, “Babylon na pha neh na hmuh taengah he ol cungkuem he doek pah.
Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you go to Babylon, then you will see and you will read these words aloud.
62 Te vaengah, 'BOEIPA loh he hmuen he a saii vetih a khuiah hlang neh rhamsa khaw khosa om pawt vetih kumhal ah khopong la om ni, 'ti nah lamtah namah loh thui pah.
Then you will say, 'Yahweh, you yourself have declared that you would destroy this place, and that no man or animal will live in it, and it will be desolate forever.'
63 Cabu na tae te na khah vaengah lungto te khit thil lamtah Perath laklung la voei ne.
Then when you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates.
64 Te vaengah, 'Babylon khaw buek van vetih yoethae hmai lamloh thoo thai mahpawh. Te tah kai loh anih soah ka thoeng sak dongah tawnba uh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah. He hil he Jeremiah kah ol ni.
Say, 'Babylon will sink like this. It will not arise because of the disaster that I am sending against it, and they will fall.'” Jeremiah's words end here.
