Jeremiah 50
1 Babilon hoi Khaldean taminaw e ram taranlahoi profet Jeremiah e pahni hno lahoi BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh,
The word that the Lord has spoken about Babylon and about the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Miphunnaw koe dei pouh nateh pâpho haw. Lukkarei vo awh na teh, pathang awh. Hrawk awh hanh. Babilon la e lah ao vaiteh, Bel teh yeiraipo lah ao han. Merodak e cathut teh a kâkhoe toe. Babilon e meikaphawknaw teh yeiraipo awh teh, reppasei lah a kâbawng toe.
“Announce it among the Gentiles, and make it known. Lift up a sign. Proclaim it and do not conceal it. Say this: ‘Babylon has been captured. Bel has been confounded. Merodach has been conquered. Their graven things have been confounded. Their idols have not survived.’
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni taranlahoi miphun buet touh atunglah hoi a tho teh, apihai kho sak hoeh nahanlah a ram hah kingdi, tami hoi moithangnaw hai yawng awh vaiteh awm awh mahoeh toe.
For a nation has ascended against her from the north, which will set her land in desolation. And there will be no one who may live within it, from man even to beast. For they have been removed and have gone away.
4 Hatnae hnin hoi tueng nah teh, Isarel catounnaw hah tho awh vaiteh, amamouh hoi Judah catounnaw hoi khuika laihoi tho awh vaiteh, BAWIPA Cathut a tawng awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
In those days and in that time, says the Lord, the sons of Israel will advance, they and the sons of Judah together. Weeping as they walk, they will hurry on, and they will seek the Lord their God.
5 Zion lah ceinae lamthung hah a pacei awh han, tho awh, yungyoe lawkkam pahnim hoeh nahanlah BAWIPA hnai awh telah ati awh han.
They will ask the way to Zion; their faces will be set toward this place. They will arrive and will be joined to the Lord by an everlasting covenant, which nothing will wipe away into oblivion.
6 Ka taminaw teh tu kahmat e lah o awh. Tukhoumnaw ni mon dawk lam a payonsak toe. Ahnimanaw teh mon buet touh hoi buet touh dawk lam a kahma awh teh roumnae hmuen a pahnim awh toe.
My people have become a lost flock. Their shepherds have led them astray and have caused them to wander in the mountains. They have crossed from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.
7 Kahmawtnaw pueng ni a kei awh teh, a tarannaw ni maimouh payon hoeh, BAWIPA e lannae kânguenae, a mintoenaw ni ngaihawinae BAWIPA lathueng roeroe vah yonnae a sak awh dawk doeh ati awh.
All whom they have found, they have devoured. And their enemies have said: ‘We have not sinned. For it is they who have sinned against the Lord, the beauty of justice, and against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.’
8 Babilon hoi kampuen awh, Khaldean ram dawk hoi tâcawt awh, hmaehu e rahak vah hmaetan patetlah awm awh.
Withdraw from the midst of Babylon, and go forth from the land of the Chaldeans. And be like young goats before the flock.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, thaihaw! Babilon tuk hanlah atunglae ram dawk hoi kalenpounge miphun hah thakasai sak vaiteh, ama tuk hanlah a kâcai vaiteh, hawvah man e lah ao han, a tahroe teh athakaawm ni teh tarantuk kathoume tami, ka thaw boihoeh e patetlah o han.
For behold, I am raising up, and I will lead against Babylon, a congregation of great nations from the land of the north. And they will be prepared against her, and from there she will be taken. Their arrows, like those of a strong man, a killer, will not return empty.
10 Khaldean teh raphoe e lah awm vaiteh, haw vah ka raphoekungnaw kaboumlah ao awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
And Chaldea will become a prey. All who lay waste to her will be filled, says the Lord.
11 Kaie râw na raphoe awh dawkvah, kanawmcalah na lunghawi awh nateh, hramkahring dawk maitolaca ka pâ e hoi marangtan ka cai e patetlah na o awh nakunghai,
For you exult and you speak great things, plundering my inheritance. For you have spread out like calves upon the grass, and you have bellowed like bulls.
12 na manu yeiraipo vaiteh, na kakhekung yeiraipo han. Khenhaw! miphunnaw thung dawk hoi ka rahnoumpoung e, ka ke ram, ramke, thingyeiyawn lah na o han.
Your mother has been exceedingly shamed, and she who bore you has become equal to the dust. Behold, she will be the last among the nations, a desert, impassable and dry.
13 BAWIPA lungkhueknae kecu dawk apihai awm laipalah, kingdi lah o han. Babilon lah ka cet e taminaw pueng ni puen khai awh vaiteh, a rawkphainae dawk pathoenae lawk a dei awh han.
By the wrath of the Lord, it will not be inhabited. Instead, it will be entirely desolate. Everyone who passes by Babylon will be stupefied and will hiss over all her wounds.
14 Babilon kalup awh nateh ven awh, pala hoi ka awh, thaw awh hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA taranlahoi a yo toe.
Prepare yourselves against Babylon, on every side, all you who bend the bow. Make war against her! You should not spare the arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 A tengpam vah hramki sak awh, amahoima a kâhmoun toe. A rapan rawm vaiteh, tapangnaw a tip han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni moipathung e doeh. A lathueng vah moipathung awh, a sak e patetlah a lathueng sak van awh.
Cry out against her! For where she has put forth a hand, her foundations have fallen, her walls have been destroyed. For it is the vengeance of the Lord. Take vengeance against her! Just as she has done, do so to her.
16 Babilon vah cati kapatuekung hoi cangkaanaw hoi cangkatinnaw hah tâkhawng awh, repcoungroenaw e tahloi taki dawk mae taminaw koe pâtam awh vaiteh, mae ram lah a yawng awh han.
Destroy the founder from Babylon, and the one who holds the sickle in the time of harvest. Before the face of the sword of the dove, each one will turn back to his people, and every one will flee to his own land.
17 Isarel teh tu kâhei e doeh. Sendek ni a pakhi, hatei siangpahrang ni ahni a ca teh a poutnae koe Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni a hru totouh be a khoe.
Israel is a scattered flock. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him. And last, this Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has taken away his bones.
18 Hatdawkvah, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Assiria siangpahrang ka rek patetlah Babilon siangpahrang hoi a ram hah ka rek han.
Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, just as I have visited the king of Assyria.
19 Isarel teh yampa a onae koe ka hrawi han. Karmel hoi Bashan vah a pawngpa han. Ephraim mon hoi Gilead vah ahni teh kaboumcalah ao han.
And I will lead back Israel to his habitation. And he will pasture on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul will be satiated at mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 Hatnae hnin hoi tueng dawk Isarel yonnae ka tawng eiteh, hmawt mahoeh. Judah yonnae hai hmawt mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kacawi ni teh ka pâhlung e naw hah ka ngaithoum awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
In those days and at that time, says the Lord, the iniquity of Israel will be sought, and there will be none. And the sin of Judah will be sought, and none will be found. For I will be forgiving to them, whom I will leave behind.
21 Marathaim ram heh tuk awh, A ram hoi Pekod vah khokasaknaw hah thet awh, he baw ditouh tâkhawng awh nateh kâ na poe e patetlah sak awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Ascend against the land of the rulers, and visit against its inhabitants! Scatter and destroy whatever has been left behind them, says the Lord, and act according to all that I have instructed you.
22 Hote ram dawk taran pawlawk hoi ka patawpoung e rawkkahmanae ao.
A voice of war in the land, and great destruction!
23 Talaivan pueng e cakkin a lawt teh a kâbawng toe. Miphunnaw thung hoi Babilon teh banghloimaw a rawk.
How has the mallet of the entire earth been broken and crushed? How has Babylon been turned into a desert among the nations?
24 Oe Babilon nang hanlah karap ka patung, panuek laipalah na kâman toe. BAWIPA na taran dawkvah, hnephnap e hoi man e lah na o han.
I have ensnared you, and you have been captured, O Babylon, and you did not realize it. You have been discovered and seized, because you provoked the Lord.
25 BAWIPA ni senehmaica bom a paawng teh lungkhueknae puengcang a la toe. Ransahu Jehovah Bawipa ni Khaldean taminaw e ram dawk sak hane a tawn.
The Lord has opened his storehouse, and he has brought forth the instruments of his wrath. For there is work for the Lord, the God of hosts, within the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Ramri poutnae koehoi tuk awh nateh, hnoim hah paawng awh. Kamkhueng awh nateh, he raphoe awh, banghai pâhlung hanh awh.
Advance against her from the furthest regions! Open, so that those who will trample her may go out! Take stones from the road, and gather them into piles, and destroy her. And let there be nothing left of her.
27 A maitotan kanawnaw hah he thet awh, he thei e lah awm naseh. A yawkathout e lah ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hnin a pha toe, ahni rek hnin roeroe a pha toe.
Scatter all her strong ones. Let them descend to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has arrived, the time of their visitation.
28 BAWIPA Cathut ni moipathungnae, a bawkim moipathungnae hah Zion vah pathung hanlah Babilon hoi a yawng teh ka tâcawt e taminaw e pawlawk hah
It is the voice of those who are fleeing and of those who have escaped from the land of Babylon: to announce in Zion the revenge of the Lord our God, the revenge of his Temple.
29 Babilon tuk hanlah palakathoumnaw pueng hah kaw awh. A tengpam vah tungpupnae rim sak awh nateh, apihai tâcawt hanh naseh. A sak awh e patetlah moipathung awh. A sak awh e naw pueng hah a lathueng sak pouh van awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Isarel Tami Kathoung hah hnephnap laihoi a kâoup.
Announce it to the many in Babylon, to all who bend the bow. Stand together against her all around, and let no one escape. Repay her according to her work. In accord with all that she has done, do to her. For she has raised herself up against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Hatdawkvah, a thoundounnaw kho thung vah a due awh vaiteh, ransanaw hot hnin vah a due awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
For this reason, her young men will fall in her streets. And all her men of war will be silenced, in that day, says the Lord.
31 Khenhaw! nang ka kâoup e tami, kai ni na taran telah ransahu Jehovah Bawipa ni ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang reknae hnin teh a pha toe.
Behold, I am against you, O proud one, says the Lord, the God of hosts. For your day has arrived, the time of your visitation.
32 Ka kâoup e tami a rawpnae koehoi apinihai bout pathaw mahoeh. Khopuinaw dawk hmai ka tâco sak vaiteh, a tengpam kaawmnaw pueng he ka kak sak han.
And the proud one will fall and be ruined. And there will be no one who may lift him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour everything around him.”
33 Ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Isarel catoun hoi Judah catoun teh repcoungroe e lah ao awh, san lah kahrawikungnaw ni a paung awh teh, tâcawt ngai awh hoeh.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have endured calumny together. All who have seized them are holding them and refusing to release them.
34 Ahnimouh karatangkung teh a thakasai e a min teh ransahu Jehovah doeh. Ahnimouh koe lah ama teh kampang vaiteh Babilon vah khokasaknaw hah runae a poe vaiteh, ram dawk roumnae hah ka pha sak han.
Their redeemer is strong. The Lord of hosts is his name. He will defend their case in judgment, so that he may terrify the land and disturb the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Khaldean taminaw e lathueng tahloi a pha. Babilon e kho ka sak e kahrawikungnaw hoi, tami lungkaangnaw e lathueng hai a pha telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
A sword is for the Chaldeans, says the Lord, and for the inhabitants of Babylon, and for her leaders, and for her wise ones.
36 Tahloi ni kutkhetkathoumnaw a taran teh tamipathu lah ao awh han. Tahloi ni athakaawme taminaw hah taran vaiteh a pâyaw awh han.
A sword is for her diviners, who will be fooled. A sword is for her strong ones, who will be afraid.
37 Tahloi ni marang hoi ranglengnaw hoi athung e tami kâkalawtnaw pueng hai a taran. Napui patetlah ao awh han. Tahloi ni a râwnaw taran vaiteh lawp e lah ao han.
A sword is for their horses, and for their chariots, and for all the common people who are in her midst. And they will be like women. A sword is for her storehouses, and they will be plundered.
38 Tui a hak teh remphui pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, meikaphawk ram lah ao. Meikaphawk hah a pathukhai awh.
A drought is over her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and they glory in portents.
39 Hatdawkvah kahrawng e sarang hoi Asuinaw hawvah kho a sak awh han. Kalauk, tavanaw hai hawvah kho a sak awh han. Ring e lah awm mahoeh toe, nâtuek hai ring e lah awm mahoeh toe.
Because of this, dragons will live there with the fig fauns, and ostriches will live in it. And it will no longer be inhabited, even in perpetuity, nor will it be raised up, even from generation to generation.
40 Cathut ni Sodom hoi Gomorrah hoi a tengpam e khonaw a raphoe e patetlah hawvah apihai khosak mahoeh toe. Tami capa apinihai pâtam mahoeh toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Just as the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighboring towns, says the Lord, no man will live there, and a son of man will not tend it.
41 Khenhaw! atunglae ram dawk hoi taminaw a tho awh. Talai poutnae koehoi miphun kalen hoi siangpahrang moikapap a tâco.
Behold, a people arrives from the north, and a great nation. And many kings will rise up from the ends of the earth.
42 Licung hoi tahroe a hrawm awh teh a nuencang kamathoutpoungnaw doeh. Lungmanae tawn awh hoeh. Ahnimae pawlawk teh tâlî, tuicapa pawlawk patetlah ao teh, marang dawk a kâcui awh teh, tami pueng tarantuk e patetlah a kamthoup awh teh, Oe! Babilon canu a tuk awh han.
They will take up the bow and the shield. They are cruel and merciless. Their voice will sound out, like the sea, and they will ride upon horses, like a man prepared for battle against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 A pawlawk thai toteh Babilon siangpahrang e kut tha a youn toe. Camokhe tawmlei pataw e patetlah hote patawnae ni a man awh.
The king of Babylon has heard the report about them, and his hands have been weakened. Anguish has overtaken him, like the pains of a woman giving birth.
44 Khenhaw! Jordan kâoupnae thung hoi sendek, saring onae hmuen koe a luen takhang e patetlah a tho han. Hatei ahni koehoi ahnimouh ka yawng sak han. A lathueng vah kâ tawn hane ka rawi e ka ta han. Kai patetlah e apimaw kaawm, apipatet ni maw kaie tueng a khoe thai han. Tukhoumkung apimaw ka hmalah kangdout thai han.
Behold, he will ascend like a lion from the arrogance of the Jordan to the robust beauty. For I will cause him to rush upon her suddenly. And who will be the elect one, whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who can endure me? And who is that pastor who can withstand my countenance?”
45 Hatdawkvah, Babilon kong dawk BAWIPA pouknae, Khaldean taminaw e lathueng pouknae a tawn. Sarangnaw hah lawp lah ao vaiteh, pawngpanae hmuennaw kingdi lah ao han.
Because of this, listen to the counsel of the Lord, which he has conceived in his mind against Babylon, and to his thoughts, which he has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: “Certainly the little ones of the flocks will pull them down, unless their habitation will have been destroyed with them.
46 Babilon hah tuk teh lawp lah onae kamthang dawk hoi talai a kâhuet teh a khuinae kamthang miphunnaw pueng ni a thai awh han.
At the voice of the captivity of Babylon, the earth has been moved, and an outcry has been heard among the nations.”
