Jeremiah 51
1 Hiche hi Pakaiyin aseiye: “Keiman Babylon mite douna mi sumangpa katil doh ding ahi.”
Thus says the LORD: "Look, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
2 Gamchom mite hunguva huisin changpol alhoh manjel bang a, gimna nikhoa amanu doudia jet le veiya kona ahindel khum diu ahi.
I will send to Babylon foreigners who shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her around.
3 Galvon kivon manlouvin lhauvin, ahilou le thalpi kap thempa jong chun athalpi kamda henlang; galsat mi phalai ho hing hoi dauvin! Sepai jouse sugam hel’ un
Do not let him who bends the bow bend it; nor not let him rise up in his armor. And do not spare her young men; utterly destroy all her army.
4 Babylon mite gamsung le lamlen ho-a akithat ho lhuchap ding ahiuve.
They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
5 Van Sepai Pakai in Israel leh Judah adalha poi. Ama chu a Pathen-u ahijing in, agamsung-u chonsetna le Israel mithengpa douna adim jeng vang uvin.
"For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Babylon na konin jam un! Kihinsona din lhaiyun! Amanu talen kipehnaa chun kisat lhah thasah hih-uvin! Pakai phulah phat ahin lethuhna lhingset ding ahi.
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; do not be cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
7 Babylon hi Pakai khut’a sana khon tobang chu ahin, vannoi pumpi kidon khamsah ahi, namtin vaipin Babylon lengpitwiya kham ahin, chule hichea chu ngolgam a ahitauve.
Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, who made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8 Hetman louvin Babylon alhun Amanu din kap’uvin. Amanu ding damdoi peuvin. Ijemtia adam kitthei a ahi le.
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9 Kithopi ding kanom in, ahinlah tun huhdoh thei ahitapoi. Amanu dalhauvin, chetau hite igamcheh uva. Ajeh chu athu kitan lhah na-in van asun, anasa behseh in akitepi abeihel e.
'We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.'
10 Pakaiyin idihna aphongdoh tai. Hungun, Pakai i-Pathen’u thilbol Zion a seichoi juhite.
'The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.'
11 Thalchang ho notval un! lumho domsang un, Pakaiyin Medes lengte lung asuthoutai. Ajeh chu atup chu Babylon a suhmang ding chu ahi, ajeh chu hiche Pakai phulah, a-hou in phulahna ahi.
Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: the LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Babylon kulbang vum'a gal ponlap tungdoh-un, khongah hatsah-un, khongah ho tungdoh-un, ajeh chu Babylon mite douna’a Pakaiyin asei chu agongtoh in, atong tai.
Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Hiche gamsung’a hin vadung tampi along in. Kiveina manlu tahtah aum e, ahivangin aphat akichaina ahunglhun tai.
You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
14 Pakai Sepai chu amatah akihahsel e, ama min in, “Nakhopi sung’u nagal mite hungdim din, khaokho ho tobang hela mihem kahindip teitei ding nahi, amahon nangma douna’a hung ao-doh diu ahi.”
The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, "Surely I will fill you with men, as with the canker worm; and they shall lift up a shout against you."
15 Pakai in leiset hi Amathahatna asem ahin, asetlouna dinga achihnaa akoi, ahetchetnaa kona jong Aman van aphajal ahitai.
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
16 Ama a-aw asodoh teng, van hoa twipi tamtah ahung umjin van monga konin meilhang asemkhom e. Gojuh teng kol aphetsah-in, akholmuna kon khohui anunsah e.
When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
17 Hiche amuteng ule mitin a ngolden jiuve chule hetthemna anei pove! Mikhut thiem takip semthu milim a kijumso ahiuve. Ajeh chu amilim semthu uchu joubulom ahin, amaho – a haitheina hu le thilboltheina aumpoi.
Every man has become brutish without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 Hiche milim semthu hochu mohseh, athu aki kholtoh phatteng ule mangthah cheh diu ahi.
They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 Ahinlah Israel Pathen vang chu milim semthu ahipoi! Thil ijakai Sempa le ahung konna ahin, ama amite ama goulo ahi. Van Pakai sepai janel chu Ama min ahi.
The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name.
20 Pakaiyin aseiyin, nangma kagal heicha le chemjam nahin, “Namtin vaipi le lenggam jouse suhmangna kaman nahi.”
"You are my battle axe and weapons of war: and with you will I break in pieces the nations; and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
21 Chule nangma’a sakolte le achunga toupa kasuh chip ding, kangtalaiho le atolte jong mangthah ding ahi.
and with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and its rider.
22 Nangma’a pasal le numei jong kasuchip ding, tehse le chate jong kasuchip ding ahi; Chule nangma’a nungah le gollhang jong kasuchip ding ahi.
And with you will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the virgin;
23 Nangma’a kelngoichingpa le akelngoihon jong kasuchip ding, nangma’a loubolpa le abongchal ho, chule agal lamkaiho le vaihom ho jong kasuchip ding ahi.
and with you will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke; and with you will I break in pieces governors and deputies.
24 Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Keima in Jerusalem a kamite chun thilse abol chengseu Babylon mite kale thuhding ahi,” ati.
I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight," says the LORD.
25 Pakayin aseiyin “Ven, thahat mollentah leiset pumpi sumang! Keima nakidoupi kahi.” Nachung a kakhut kalhan doh a, munsang’a kona kasuh lhah’a, nangma ima hilou akavamsa mol kaso ding nahi.
"Look, I am against you, destroying mountain," says the LORD, "which destroys all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
26 Nangma tonsot’a dalpeia umdin nanga kona in – ning song ding le inbul song dia alah lou diu ahitan, nangma hi pampei hel’a um ding nahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
They shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate for ever," says the LORD.
27 Namtin din ponlap khat tahdoh unlang, namtin vaipi lah’a sumkon gintoh kigotsah un kisat ding! Ararat sepaite hinpuidoh un, Minni, chule Ashkenaz gal lamkai semun lang, khao khoho bang in sakol ho hungtousah – un.
Set up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm.
28 Amanu douding namtin vaipi hinpui un, lamkai ding Medes lengte chule a vaihom ho jouse toh,
Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion.
29 agam chu akithing thing jeng in anasalheh jeng e. Pakaiyin Babylon dounaa thil agon jouse kikhel lou ding ahi. Babylon gamsung ahomkeova umsah ding aching beihel’a koi ding ahi.
The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
30 Amanu galhat ho, galsat ahaiyun. Akul sunga aumden tauve ahatnau adailhan numei toh abang tauve. Achen nau ahallha uvin chule khopi kelkot jouse atumkeh – un ahi.
The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might has failed; they are become as women: her dwelling places are set on fire; her bars are broken.
31 Thusep khat chu achomto kisuto ding, thangkou khat chu achom khattoh kisuto – a, akhopi chu among khatna konin akilatai ti hil dingin.
One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:
32 Jam na diu lampi ho akikhah in pumpeng aneihou meiya akihal lhan, sepaite akicha gam tauve.
and the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are frightened.
33 Ijeh-inem itileh thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Babylon chanu chu kengto chotpha akinei tengleh changpol tobang ahin, Ahivang in phat chomkhat nung leh achang –at phat hung lhung ding ahitai,’’ ati.
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
34 “Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in keima eival lhum in, aman eisuchip in; kathahat jouse asugoitan ahi. Hing ne bangin keima eivel lhum tai, ka haosatna oiva set in eine peh tan. Aman kagam sunga kon in eipei doh tai.
'Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has, like a monster, swallowed me up, he has filled his maw with my delicacies; he has cast me out.
35 Keima chungle kaphunggol mite chunga pum hat jinga thil kibol chu Babylon khopi chunga chujeng hen,’’ ati. Zion cheng mite chun seiju hen, “Keima thisan man chu Babylon mite gam'a chengte chung a chu jeng hen,’’ tin Jerusalem in jong seihen.
The violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon,' shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, 'My blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea,' shall Jerusalem say.
36 Jerusalem mite koma Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Nakhan khou gel’ing ting, namelma teuvin nabolnau chu kale ditsah ding ahi. Babylon twikul kansah ingting chule avadung jouse kangsoh ding ahi.”
Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
37 Chuteng Babylon chu ingem jeng kisechop ding, gamsa chenna soh ding; chule koima chenna hitalouva, gamsa jengseh chenna hiding ahi.
Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Amaho abonchauvin keipi bahkai hon banga kitum tum diu, sakei noute banga ngih ngih jeng diu ahi.
They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' cubs.
39 Amaho nei-yin ahul sat pet tah’a keiman golvah kagonpeh ding, ju kadon sah a; aitih chan geiya ihmu mu jeng diu, kithoukit louva thidiu ahi, tin Pakainyin aseiye.
When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake," says the LORD.
40 Keiman amaho thuhi kelngoi nou akitha na ding le kel ngoichal ho kelcha ho banga kilhainaa ki that bang hi ding ahiuve.
"I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41 Itidan a Babylon chu lhujeng hi tam vannoi pumpi in apachat khopi chu tua hi, amanu namtin a dingin kichat umta thil ahidohtai.
How is Sheshach taken, and the praise of the whole earth seized. How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations.
42 Babylon chu twikhanglen in achup tan, amanu achunga twipi aki deldel e.
The sea has come up on Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 Akhopi hochu akam hel in, gamgo, gamthip, mikhat cha chennalou gam, mihem chapa khatchan ajotpa louhel asoh tai.
Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
44 Keiman Babylon Pathen bel chu talent kapeh ding, aval lhumsa chu akam sunga kona kalah doh peh ding ahi. Namtin vaipi ho Amahou dinga aheng a hung kitol tol lou hel ding ahi. Ajeh chu Babylon khopi pal chu chim ahitai.
I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more to him: yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall."
45 Hung potdoh'un, kamite, Babylon khopi akon in jam doh loiyun nangma kihuhhing cheh un! Pakai lunghan na kon in jam un.
"My people, go away from the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46 Nalungthim lhahsam sah hih-uvin, Gamsunga thu kithang jeh hin kicha hih uvin; kum khat sunga thu thang khat hung lhung ji ahin, khonung teng akum kit’a chu thu thang khatma hung lhung jia ahiye; Gamsunga pumhat jeng aumtan, Vaihom khat chu vaihom khat dou umcheh ahitai.
Do not let your heart faint, neither fear for the news that shall be heard in the land; for news shall come one year, and after that in another year shall come news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Hijeh chun vetan, keiman Babylon khopia pathen lim sem thuho talent kapeh na ding nikho ho chu ahung lhunge. Agam sung pumpi hi kijum so ding, alam len dunga amite ki that jouse ki jam dan ding ahiuve.
Therefore look, the days come, that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Chujou teng le van le leiset chule asung a umjousen, Babylon khopi chunga kipa la asah diu ahi. Ijeh-inam itileh amaho dou dinga Misumang ho chu Sah lam gamkaiya kona hung kondoh ding ahitauve, tin Pakaiyin seiye.
Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come to her from the north," says the LORD.
49 Babylon in Israel mite athagam banga, chuleh leiset pumpi kitha gam jeh a amanu lhu a ahitai.
As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
50 Pohdoh un, nangho chemjam’a kona houidoh ho! ding den hih un chule ve hih un – jam thei ahi pat in! Pakai chu geldoh jing un kholgam lhatah a naum vang un, chule na gam lang u Jerusalem gel doh jing un.
You who have escaped the sword, go, do not stand still; remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 Jumsona kachang un ahi, ijeh-inem itileh houset kachan u-ahitai. Kamai jengu jong jabolna akilah tapoi, ajeh chu Pakai munthenga gamdang miho ahunglut tauve, tia nasei diu ahi.
"We are confounded, because we have heard reproach; confusion has covered our faces: for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the LORD's house."
52 Hijeh chun ven, hiche nikho ho chu ahung lhung tai, tin Pakaiyin aseije; milim semthu ho chunga thu katan ding, agam pumpi lung leng ding chule maha pua peng ding ahi.
"Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Babylon chu vanlam sanga kaltou ding hihen, akulpi jeng jong sangtah'a aget ding hijongleh, kamite ama sumang dinga achunga hung lhung ding ahi.
Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come to her," says the LORD.
54 Babylon awgin kithong leh Chaldea mite gam'a manthahna awgin akithong e.
"The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans."
55 Ijeh-inem itileh Pakaiyin Babylon hi akeosah a aumsah ahitan, husa gin beihel a alhaa; acheh chaunau gin jong twi kinong tobang'in aging in, a awgin husan ujong agimnei cheh cheh in ahi.
For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Misumangpa Babylon chunga achutan, agal hang sepai ho jong akhomtup soh tai. Athalpi jouse jong abang abaijin aum gam in, ajeh chu Pakai chu milethuh Pakai ahin, thon louhel’a lethuhna apehji ahi.
for the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for the LORD is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite.
57 Aleng chapate ahin, ami ching ho jouse jaona ju ka-khamsah soh hel ding, chule agam vaipo ahin asepai lah’a thunei vaihom ho, agal hang ho jouse jong khamsoh hel diu ahi. Thabeiya imu lhu diu, kithou talou diu ahitai, tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseiye.
"I will make drunk her officials and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up," says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
58 Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, Babylon in pal nasatah akai chu tollham a
Thus says the LORD of hosts: "The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary."
59 Judah lengpa Zedekiah leng ahikal kumli alhing in, Jeremiah themgaovin Babylon mun’a ana kilhonp’n Mahseiah chapa, Neriah chapa Seraiah thu anapen hiti hin anaseiyin ahi. Saraiah kitipa hi thil ijakai chingtup dinga ngensena ana chang ahi.
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster.
60 Hiti chun Jeremiah chun Babylon mun’a lhung ding thil abonchan anajih lut’in, Babylon thudol in thu hijatpi chu ana kijihlut tan ahi.
Jeremiah wrote in a scroll all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 Chuin Jeremiah in Saraiah henga hiti hin aseiyin, “Babylon mun nalhung teng thu hichengse hi nasim doh tei ding ahi, phatah in vephan,” atin,
Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
62 hiti hin aseiyin, ‘Pakai nangman hiche mun chungchang thudol’a hin seiyin, hiche mun hi kisu mang ding, asung hi chenna hita lou ding; mihem ahin chule gamsa jeng jong aitih channa chenna hilouding ahom keu jeng hiding ahi.’
and say, 'LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it shall be desolate forever.'
63 Hiche lekha hi nasim chai teng songkhat toh nakan beh ding, hichu vadung lailunga nase lut ding ahi.
It shall be, when you have made an end of reading this scroll, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Perath:
64 Chuteng keiman hiche mun’a kahin lhut ding thilse jal’a hi Babylon jong kidodoh kit talou ding, hitia chu mangthah hel ding ahitai, tin seiyin,” ati. Hichengse hi Jeremiah thusei dohho ahi.
and you shall say, 'Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they shall be weary.'" Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
