Jeremia 51
1 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anakel chunje maketho Kuom Babulon gi jo-Leb Kamai.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will raise up as it were a pestilential wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants thereof, who have lifted up their heart against me.
2 Anaor ji moa e pinje mamoko Babulon mondo odhi opiedhe ka miudhwe kendo mondo oketh pinye; ginikwede e yo mora amora e odiechienge mar masira.
And I will send to Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall destroy her land: for they are come upon her on every side in the day of her affliction.
3 Kik jadir asere rid atungʼ mare, kata kik orwak okumba mare. Kik ingʼwon-ne joge matindo; tiek jolweny mage duto.
Let not him that bendeth, bend his bow, and let not, him go up that is armed with a coat of mail: spare not her young men, destroy all her army.
4 Ginineg-gi Babulon, kendo hinye ahinya e yorene.
And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in the regions thereof.
5 Nimar Israel gi Juda pod ok ojwangʼgi Nyasachgi, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, kata obedo ni pinygi opongʼ gi ketho e nyim Jalno Maler mar Israel.
For Israel and Juda have not been forsaken by their God the Lord of hosts: but their land hath been filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6 “Ringuru ua Babulon! Ringuru ukony ngimau! Kik tieku nikech richo mag-gi. En kinde ma Jehova Nyasaye chuloe kuor; enochule gima owinjore kode.
Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will I render unto her what she hath deserved.
7 Babulon ne en kikombe mar dhahabu e lwet Jehova Nyasaye; nomiyo piny duto omer. Ogendini nomadho divai mare; emomiyo koro neko osemakogi.
Babylon hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
8 Babulon nolwar apoya nono kendo notieke. Deng nikech en! Miye yath ne rem mare; sa moro onyalo chango.
Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
9 “‘Ne wanyalo thiedho Babulon, to ok onyal chango; waweyeuru, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato odhi e pinye owuon, nimar osengʼadne bura mochopo e polo, ogingore mochopo e polo.’
We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds.
10 “‘Jehova Nyasaye oseketowa joma kare; biuru, we wawache ei Sayun, gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa osetimo.’
The Lord hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion the work of the Lord our God.
11 “Piaguru aserni, kauru okumbini! Jehova Nyasaye osethuwo ruodhi mag Media kodgi, nikech chenro mare en ketho Babulon. Jehova Nyasaye nochul kuor ni hekalu mare.
Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers, the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Tingʼuru banderane e ohinga mag Babulon! Med jolweny mamoko kijiwogi, ket jorito keregi, ikreuru mar monjogi! Jehova Nyasaye nodhi nyime gi chenro mare, buche moketo mondo otimre ni jo-Babulon.
Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Un joma odak machiegni gi pige mangʼeny kendo momewo gi mwandu mangʼeny, gikou osechopo, sa ma itiekoue.
O thou that dwellest upon many waters, rich in treasures, thy end is come for thy entire destruction.
14 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osekwongʼore gi nyinge owuon: Adier anakelnu ji mangʼeny, ka bonyo, kendo ginikog gi ilo nikech loch molowugo.
The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee.
15 “Nochweyo piny gi tekone; ne ochako piny gi riekone, kendo oyaro polo gi ngʼeyo mare.
He that made the earth by his power, that hath prepared the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
16 Ka omor ka polo, to pige manie polo wuo; omiyo boche polo dhwolore koa e giko piny. Ooro mil polo gi koth, kendo okelo yamo koa e kuondege mag keno.
When he uttereth his voice the waters are multiplied in heaven: he lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth, he hath turned lightning into rain: and hath brought forth the wind out of his treasures.
17 “Ji duto parogi ok ti kendo gionge ngʼeyo; jotheth duto wigi kuot gi nyisechegi manono, ma githedho. Kido mage moloso gin gik manono; gionge muya eigi.
Every man is become foolish by his knowledge: every founder is confounded by his idol, for what he hath cast is a lie, and there is no breath in them.
18 Gionge tich, gin gik minyiero; ka ndalogi mar ngʼado bura ochopo, to ginilal nono.
They are vain works, and worthy to be laughed at, in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 Jalno ma en Pok mar Jakobo ok chal kodgi, nimar en e Jachwech mar gik moko duto, kaachiel gi dhood girkeni mare, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge.
The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he that made all things he it is, and Israel is the sceptre of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
20 “In e odungana mar lweny, gira mar kedo, in ema atiekogo ogendini, in ema akethogo pinjeruodhi,
Thou dashest together for me the weapons of war, and with thee I will dash nations together, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms:
21 akonyora kodi kuom tieko faras gi jaithne, in ema atiekogo gach lweny kod jariembe,
And with thee I will break in pieces the horse, and his rider, and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot, and him that getteth up into it:
22 in ema anegogo dichwo gi dhako, in ema anegogo jaduongʼ kod rawere, in ema anegogo wuowi kod nyako,
And with thee I will break in pieces man and woman, and with thee I will break in pieces the old man and the child, and with thee I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin:
23 in ema anegogo jakwath gi rombe, in ema anegogo japur gi rwedhi, in ema anegogo ruodhi gi jotelo.”
And with thee I will break in pieces the shepherd and his dock, and with thee I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee I will break in pieces captains and rulers.
24 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E nyim wangʼu anachul Babulon kod jogo duto modak Babulon kuom gigo maricho magisetimo e Sayun.”
And I will render to Babylon, and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil, that they have done in Sion, before your eyes, saith the Lord.
25 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ok adwari, yaye got maduongʼ maketho, un joma ketho piny ngima. Anarie bada kuomu, anadhiru piny kua e geng got, kendo ami ubed ka got mowangʼ.”
Behold I come against thee, thou destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which corruptest the whole earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
26 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Onge lwanda mane kaw kuomi mar gero kona, kata kidi moro amora mar keto mise, nimar unudongʼ gunda nyaka chiengʼ.
And they shall not take of thee a stone for the corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for ever, saith the Lord.
27 “Tingʼuru bandera e piny! Gouru turumbete e dier ogendini! Ikuru ogendini mondo oked kode; luonguru pinjeruodhigi Ararat, Mini kod Ashkenaz mondo oked kode. Yieruru jatend lweny mondo oked kode; oruru farese mangʼeny ka bonyo.
Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as the stinging locust.
28 Ikuru ogendini mondo oked kod ruodhi mag Medes, jotendgi kod jodong-gi duto, kaachiel gi pinje duto ma gitelonegi.
Prepare the nations against her, the kings of Media, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the land of their dominion.
29 Piny tetni kendo nigi rem mapek, nimar chenro mar Jehova Nyasaye kuom Babulon osiko mondo piny Babulon odongʼ gunda, maonge ngʼama nodag kanyo.
And the land shall be in a commotion, and shall be troubled: for the design of the Lord against Babylon shall awake, to make the land of Babylon desert and uninhabitable.
30 Jolwenj Babulon oseweyo kedo; gidongʼ e kuondegi mochiel motegno mag lweny. Tekogi orumo; gisebedo ka mon. Kuondegi mag dak osemoke mach; lodi mage mag rangeye otur.
The valiant men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have dwelt in holds: their strength hath failed, and they are become as women: her dwelling places are burnt, her bars are broken.
31 Jangʼwech achiel luwo bangʼ machielo kendo jaote luwo bangʼ jaote machielo, mondo olandne ruodh Babulon ni dalane maduongʼ mangima osemaki,
One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken from one end to the other:
32 kuonde mikalogo aora osemuki, odundu wangʼ, kendo jolweny luoro omako.”
And that the fords are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Nyar Babulon chalo gi kar dino e seche minyone; kinde ma ikaye chiegni chopo.”
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
34 “Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon osetiekowa, oserundo pachwa, oselokowa agulu ma iye ninono. Ka thuol osemuonyowa kendo osepongʼo iye gi chiembwa, mi osengʼudhowa oko.”
Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath eaten me up, he hath devoured me: he hath made me as an empty vessel: he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicate meats, and he hath cast me out.
35 Joma odak Sayun wacho niya, “Mad masira ma gisekelonwa bed kuom Babulon.” Jerusalem wacho niya, “Mad rembwa bed ewi joma odak Babulon.”
The wrong done to me, and my flesh be upon Babylon, saith the habitation of Sion: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, saith Jerusalem.
36 Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anabed jakori kendo anakonyi e bura; anami nembe two kendo thidhna mage notwo.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will judge thy cause, and will take vengeance for thee, and I will make her sea desolate, and will dry up her spring.
37 Babulon nobed pith mar kethruok, kar dak ondiegi, gima bwogo ji, kendo gima inyiero, kama onge ngʼama odakie.
And Babylon shall be reduced to heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
38 Joge duto ruto ka sibuoche matindo, gilengʼore ka nyithi sibuor.
They shall roar together like lions, they shall shake their manes like young lions.
39 To ka ochiewgi, analosnigi nyasi mi gimer, mondo gikog gi mor; eka ginindi nyaka chiengʼ ma ok ginichiew,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
In their heat I will set them drink: and I will make them drunk, that they may slumber, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and awake no more, saith the Lord.
40 “Anatiekgi ka rombe mitero kar yengʼo, ka imbe kod diek.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with kids.
41 “Mano kaka Sheshak nomaki, sunga mar piny ngima norum! Mano kaka Babulon nobedi gima lich makelo bwok e kind ogendini!
How is Sesach taken, and the renowned one of all the earth surprised? How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
42 Nam nogingre kuom Babulon; apakane mawuo noume.
The sea is come up over Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43 Miech jo-Babulon nodongʼ gunda, kama otwo kendo piny motimo ongoro, piny maonge ngʼama odakie, kama onge ngʼama kalo e iye.
Her cities are become an astonishment, a land uninhabited and desolate, a land wherein none can dwell, nor son of man pass through it.
44 Anakum Bel e Babulon kendo anami ongʼog gima ne osemuonyo. Ogendini ok nochak ochokre ire. Kendo ohinga mar Babulon nogore piny.
And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he had swallowed down: and the rations shall no more flow together to him, for the wall also of Babylon shall fall.
45 “Wuoguru oko uayi kuome, joga! Ringuru ukony ngimau! Ringuru uaye mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Go out of the midst of her, my people: that every man may save his life from the fierce wrath of the Lord.
46 Kik chunyu jogi kata bedo maluor ka wach mofwongʼ owinjore e piny; wach mofwongʼ achiel biro higani, machielo noluwe, wach mofwongʼ mar masira e piny, kendo mar jatelo ma ok dwar, jatelo machielo.
And lest your hearts faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land: and a rumour shall come in one year, and after this year another rumour: and iniquity in the land, and ruler upon ruler.
47 Nimar adiera kinde biro ma anakum nyiseche manono mag Babulon; pinye duto nobed gi wichkuot kendo joge duto mosenegi nolware iye.
Therefore behold the days come, and I will visit the idols of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Eka polo gi piny kod gik moko duto manie igi nokog gi ilo nikech Babulon, nimar koa nyandwat jonek nomonje,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
And the heavens and the earth, and all things that are in them shall give praise for Babylon: for spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith the Lord.
49 “Babulon nyaka podhi nikech jo-Israel mane onegi, mana kaka ji duto, mosenegi e piny osepodho nikech Babulon.
And as Babylon caused that there should fall slain in Israel: so of Babylon there shall fall slain in all the earth.
50 Un joma osetonyne ligangla, auru kendo kik ugalru! Paruru Jehova Nyasaye e piny mabor, kendo upar Jerusalem.”
You that have escaped the sword, come away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 “Ochawa, nimar oseyanywa kendo wichkuot oumo wengewa, nikech joma oa e pinje mamoko osedonjo e kuonde maler mar od Jehova Nyasaye.”
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: because strangers are come upon the sanctuaries of the house of the Lord.
52 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To kinde biro, ma anakume nyisechege manono, kendo e pinye mangima joma nigi adhonde nobed gi rem malit.
Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:
53 Kata ka Babulon ochopo e lwasi kendo ger ohingage motegno kuno, to anaor ji mondo okethe,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
If Babylon should mount up to heaven, and establish her strength on high: from me there should come spoilers upon her, saith the Lord.
54 “Ywak winjore koa Babulon, koko mar kethruok maduongʼ, koa e piny jo-Babulon.
The noise of a cry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55 Jehova Nyasaye noketh Babulon; nomi koko olingʼ thi. Apaka mag wasigu nowuo ka pige mopongʼ; koko mar dwondgi nowinjre kendo.
Because the Lord hath laid Babylon waste, and destroyed out of her the great voice: and their wave shall roar like many waters: their voice hath made a noise:
56 Jaketh nobi ketho Babulon; jolweny mage nomaki, kendo atungʼ mag-gi notur. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye machulo kuor ni ji kuom richogi; enochul duto.”
Because the spoiler is come upon her, that is, upon Babylon, and her valiant men are taken, and their bow is weakened, because the Lord, who is a strong revenger, will surely repay.
57 Ruoth, ma nyinge en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Anami jodonge kod jogo mariek mer, jotendgi, jodong-gi kod jolweny bende; gininindi nyaka chiengʼ kendo ok ginichiew.”
And I will make her princes drunk. and her wise men, and her captains, and her rulers, and her valiant men: and they shall sleep an everlasting sleep, and shall awake no more, saith the whose name is Lord of hosts.
58 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Ohinga mar Babulon mangʼongo nolwar piny kendo dhorangeye mage maboyo nomoke mach; ji chandore kayiem nono, tich matek mar jotich en mana ramoki mach.”
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: That broad wall of Babylon shall be utterly broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire, and the labours of the people shall come to nothing, and of the nations shall go to the fire, and shall perish.
59 Ma e ote mane Jeremia janabi omiyo jatend jotije Seraya wuod Neria, ma wuod Maseya, kane odhi Babulon gi Zedekia ruodh Juda e higa mar angʼwen mar lochne.
The word that Jeremias the prophet commanded Saraias the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, when he went with king Sedecias to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign: now Saraias was chief over the prophecy.
60 Jeremia nondiko e kitabu kuom masiche duto mano bi kuom Babulon, mago duto mane osendiki kuom Babulon.
And Jeremias wrote in one book all the evil that was to come upon Babylon: all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 Nowachone Seraya, “Ka ichopo Babulon, ne ni isomo wechegi mondo owinji.
And Jeremias said to Saraias: When thou shalt come into Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words,
62 Eka iwachi ni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isewacho ni ibiro ketho kae, mondo omi dhano kata le kik dag e iye; enodongʼ gunda nyaka chiengʼ.
Thou shalt say: O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place to destroy it: so that there should be neither man nor beast to dwell therein, and that it should be desolate for ever.
63 Ka itieko somo kitabuni, twe kidi kuome kendo idire Yufrate.
And when thou shalt have made an end of reading this book, thou shalt tie a stone to it, and shalt throw it into the midst of the Euphrates:
64 Eka iwachi ni, ‘E kaka Babulon nonim ma ok nochak ochungʼ kendo nikech masira ma anakel kuome. Kendo joge nopodhi.’” Weche Jeremia ogik kae.
And thou shalt say: Thus shall Babylon sink, and she shall not rise up from the affliction that I will bring upon her, and she shall be utterly destroyed. Thus far are the words of Jeremias.
