Jeremiah 51
1 The LORD says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anakel chunje maketho Kuom Babulon gi jo-Leb Kamai.
2 I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her. They will empty her land; for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
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.
3 Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow, also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. Do not spare her young men! Utterly destroy all her army!
Kik jadir asere rid atungʼ mare, kata kik orwak okumba mare. Kik ingʼwon-ne joge matindo; tiek jolweny mage duto.
4 They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
Ginineg-gi Babulon, kendo hinye ahinya e yorene.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by the LORD of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
Nimar Israel gi Juda pod ok ojwangʼgi Nyasachgi, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, kata obedo ni pinygi opongʼ gi ketho e nyim Jalno Maler mar Israel.
6 “Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Everyone save his own 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.
“Ringuru ua Babulon! Ringuru ukony ngimau! Kik tieku nikech richo mag-gi. En kinde ma Jehova Nyasaye chuloe kuor; enochule gima owinjore kode.
7 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 have gone mad.
Babulon ne en kikombe mar dhahabu e lwet Jehova Nyasaye; nomiyo piny duto omer. Ogendini nomadho divai mare; emomiyo koro neko osemakogi.
8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may be healed.
Babulon nolwar apoya nono kendo notieke. Deng nikech en! Miye yath ne rem mare; sa moro onyalo chango.
9 “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
“‘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.’
10 ‘The LORD has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.’
“‘Jehova Nyasaye oseketowa joma kare; biuru, we wawache ei Sayun, gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa osetimo.’
11 “Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! 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.
“Piaguru aserni, kauru okumbini! Jehova Nyasaye osethuwo ruodhi mag Media kodgi, nikech chenro mare en ketho Babulon. Jehova Nyasaye nochul kuor ni hekalu mare.
12 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
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.
13 You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
Un joma odak machiegni gi pige mangʼeny kendo momewo gi mwandu mangʼeny, gikou osechopo, sa ma itiekoue.
14 The LORD of Armies has sworn by himself, saying, ‘Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they will lift up a shout against you.’
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osekwongʼore gi nyinge owuon: Adier anakelnu ji mangʼeny, ka bonyo, kendo ginikog gi ilo nikech loch molowugo.
15 “He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
“Nochweyo piny gi tekone; ne ochako piny gi riekone, kendo oyaro polo gi ngʼeyo mare.
16 When he utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
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.
17 “Every man has become stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image, for his molten images are falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
“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.
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
Gionge tich, gin gik minyiero; ka ndalogi mar ngʼado bura ochopo, to ginilal nono.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.
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.
20 “You are my battle ax and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.
“In e odungana mar lweny, gira mar kedo, in ema atiekogo ogendini, in ema akethogo pinjeruodhi,
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.
akonyora kodi kuom tieko faras gi jaithne, in ema atiekogo gach lweny kod jariembe,
22 With you I will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein. With you I will break in pieces man and woman. With you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth. With you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin.
in ema anegogo dichwo gi dhako, in ema anegogo jaduongʼ kod rawere, in ema anegogo wuowi kod nyako,
23 With you I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock. With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke. With you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
in ema anegogo jakwath gi rombe, in ema anegogo japur gi rwedhi, in ema anegogo ruodhi gi jotelo.”
24 “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.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E nyim wangʼu anachul Babulon kod jogo duto modak Babulon kuom gigo maricho magisetimo e Sayun.”
25 “Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says the LORD, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned mountain.
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.”
26 They will not take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says the LORD.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Onge lwanda mane kaw kuomi mar gero kona, kata kidi moro amora mar keto mise, nimar unudongʼ gunda nyaka chiengʼ.
27 “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 swarming locusts!
“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.
28 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
Ikuru ogendini mondo oked kod ruodhi mag Medes, jotendgi kod jodong-gi duto, kaachiel gi pinje duto ma gitelonegi.
29 The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Piny tetni kendo nigi rem mapek, nimar chenro mar Jehova Nyasaye kuom Babulon osiko mondo piny Babulon odongʼ gunda, maonge ngʼama nodag kanyo.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire. Her bars are broken.
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.
31 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.
Jangʼwech achiel luwo bangʼ machielo kendo jaote luwo bangʼ jaote machielo, mondo olandne ruodh Babulon ni dalane maduongʼ mangima osemaki,
32 So the passages are seized. They have burned the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”
kuonde mikalogo aora osemuki, odundu wangʼ, kendo jolweny luoro omako.”
33 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “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 comes for her.”
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Nyar Babulon chalo gi kar dino e seche minyone; kinde ma ikaye chiegni chopo.”
34 “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 mouth with my delicacies. He has cast me out.
“Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon osetiekowa, oserundo pachwa, oselokowa agulu ma iye ninono. Ka thuol osemuonyowa kendo osepongʼo iye gi chiembwa, mi osengʼudhowa oko.”
35 May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!” the inhabitant of Zion will say; and, “May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!” will Jerusalem say.
Joma odak Sayun wacho niya, “Mad masira ma gisekelonwa bed kuom Babulon.” Jerusalem wacho niya, “Mad rembwa bed ewi joma odak Babulon.”
36 Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anabed jakori kendo anakonyi e bura; anami nembe two kendo thidhna mage notwo.
37 Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Babulon nobed pith mar kethruok, kar dak ondiegi, gima bwogo ji, kendo gima inyiero, kama onge ngʼama odakie.
38 They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ cubs.
Joge duto ruto ka sibuoche matindo, gilengʼore ka nyithi sibuor.
39 When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the LORD.
To ka ochiewgi, analosnigi nyasi mi gimer, mondo gikog gi mor; eka ginindi nyaka chiengʼ ma ok ginichiew,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
40 “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
“Anatiekgi ka rombe mitero kar yengʼo, ka imbe kod diek.
41 “How Sheshach is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
“Mano kaka Sheshak nomaki, sunga mar piny ngima norum! Mano kaka Babulon nobedi gima lich makelo bwok e kind ogendini!
42 The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
Nam nogingre kuom Babulon; apakane mawuo noume.
43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.
Miech jo-Babulon nodongʼ gunda, kama otwo kendo piny motimo ongoro, piny maonge ngʼama odakie, kama onge ngʼama kalo e iye.
44 I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.
Anakum Bel e Babulon kendo anami ongʼog gima ne osemuonyo. Ogendini ok nochak ochokre ire. Kendo ohinga mar Babulon nogore piny.
45 “My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce anger.
“Wuoguru oko uayi kuome, joga! Ringuru ukony ngimau! Ringuru uaye mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye.
46 Do not let your heart faint. Do not fear for the news that will be heard in the land. For news will come one year, and after that in another year news will come, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
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.
47 Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
Nimar adiera kinde biro ma anakum nyiseche manono mag Babulon; pinye duto nobed gi wichkuot kendo joge duto mosenegi nolware iye.
48 Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says the LORD.
Eka polo gi piny kod gik moko duto manie igi nokog gi ilo nikech Babulon, nimar koa nyandwat jonek nomonje,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
49 “As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
“Babulon nyaka podhi nikech jo-Israel mane onegi, mana kaka ji duto, mosenegi e piny osepodho nikech Babulon.
50 You who have escaped the sword, go! Do not stand still! Remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”
Un joma osetonyne ligangla, auru kendo kik ugalru! Paruru Jehova Nyasaye e piny mabor, kendo upar Jerusalem.”
51 “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.”
“Ochawa, nimar oseyanywa kendo wichkuot oumo wengewa, nikech joma oa e pinje mamoko osedonjo e kuonde maler mar od Jehova Nyasaye.”
52 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To kinde biro, ma anakume nyisechege manono, kendo e pinye mangima joma nigi adhonde nobed gi rem malit.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says the LORD.
Kata ka Babulon ochopo e lwasi kendo ger ohingage motegno kuno, to anaor ji mondo okethe,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
54 “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
“Ywak winjore koa Babulon, koko mar kethruok maduongʼ, koa e piny jo-Babulon.
55 For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.
Jehova Nyasaye noketh Babulon; nomi koko olingʼ thi. Apaka mag wasigu nowuo ka pige mopongʼ; koko mar dwondgi nowinjre kendo.
56 For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.
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.”
57 I will make her princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
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.”
58 The LORD of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burned with fire. The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
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.”
59 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.
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.
60 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
Jeremia nondiko e kitabu kuom masiche duto mano bi kuom Babulon, mago duto mane osendiki kuom Babulon.
61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
Nowachone Seraya, “Ka ichopo Babulon, ne ni isomo wechegi mondo owinji.
62 and say, ‘LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it will be desolate forever.’
Eka iwachi ni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isewacho ni ibiro ketho kae, mondo omi dhano kata le kik dag e iye; enodongʼ gunda nyaka chiengʼ.
63 It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of the Euphrates.
Ka itieko somo kitabuni, twe kidi kuome kendo idire Yufrate.
64 Then you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Eka iwachi ni, ‘E kaka Babulon nonim ma ok nochak ochungʼ kendo nikech masira ma anakel kuome. Kendo joge nopodhi.’” Weche Jeremia ogik kae.
