< Jeremiah 51 >

1 This is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will stir up against Babylon and against the people of Leb-kamai the spirit of a destroyer.
Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh, “Kitaem, mangparnuayakon iti angin a mangdadael iti Babilonia ken kadagiti agnanaed idiay Leb Kamai.
2 I will send strangers to Babylon to winnow her and empty her land; for they will come against her from every side in her day of disaster.
Mangibaonakto kadagiti gangannaet idiay Babilonia. Waraen ken dadaelendanto ti daga ti Babilonia, ta darupendanto ti amin nga aglawlaw daytoy iti aldaw ti panangdaael.
3 Do not let the archer bend his bow or put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; devote all her army to destruction!
Saanyo nga ipalubos nga ibiat dagiti pumapana dagiti panada; saanyo nga ipalubos nga isuotda dagiti kalasagda. Patayenyo dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ti Babilonia; dadaelenyo ti sibubukel nga armada daytoy.
4 And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.
Ta mapasagto dagiti nasugatan a tattao iti daga dagiti Caldeo; maidasayto dagiti natay kadagiti kalsadana.
5 For Israel and Judah have not been abandoned by their God, the LORD of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel.”
Ta ti Israel ken Juda ket saan a binaybay-an ti Diosda, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, nu man pay napnoan ti dagada kadagiti basol a naaramid maibusor iti Nasantoan ti Israel.
6 Flee from Babylon! Escape with your lives! Do not be destroyed in her punishment. For this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; He will pay her what she deserves.
Aglibaskayo manipud iti Babilonia; isalakan koma ti tunggal maysa ti bagina. Saankayo koma a mapukaw gapu iti basolna. Ta daytoy ti aldaw a panangibales ni Yahweh. Aramidenna iti Babilonia ti rumbeng kenkuana.
7 Babylon was a gold cup in the hand of the LORD, making the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
Ti Babilonia ket kasla maysa a balitok a kopa iti ima ni Yahweh a nangbartek iti entero a daga; ininom dagiti nasion ti arakna ket nagmauyongda.
8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her; get her balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
Kellaatto a mapasag ti Babilonia ket madadaelto. Dung-awanyo isuna! Ikkanyo isuna iti agas para iti sakitna; bareng no mapaimbag isuna.
9 “We tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Abandon her! Let each of us go to his own land, for her judgment extends to the sky and reaches to the clouds.”
Tinarigagayanmi a paimbagen ti Babilonia, ngem saan a napaimbag daytoy. Panawantayo amin daytoy ket agsublitayo iti dagatayo. Ta dimmanon ti basolna sadi langit; nagtutuon agingga kadagiti ulep.'
10 “The LORD has brought forth our vindication; come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has accomplished.”
'Imbaga ni Yahweh nga awan basoltayo. Umaykayo, ibagatayo idiay Sion dagiti aramid ni Yahweh a Diostayo.'
11 Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because His plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the vengeance of the LORD— vengeance for His temple.
Asaenyo dagiti pana ken isuotyo dagiti kalasagyo. Tigtignayen ni Yahweh ti espiritu ti ari ti Media iti panggepna a mangdadael iti Babilonia. Ta daytoy ket para iti panangibales ni Yahweh, panangibales gapu iti pannakadadael ti templona.
12 Raise a banner against the walls of Babylon; post the guard; station the watchmen; prepare the ambush. For the LORD has both devised and accomplished what He spoke against the people of Babylon.
Mangingatokayo iti wagayway kadagiti pader ti Babilonia; mangikabilkayo kadagiti guardia. Mangipuestokayo kadagiti agbanbantay; paglemmengenyo dagiti soldado tapno matiliwda ti siasinoman nga agtaray manipud iti siudad, ta aramidento ni Yahweh ti pinanggepna. Aramidennanto ti inwaragawagna a maibusor kadagiti agnanaed iti Babilonia.
13 You who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut.
Dakayo a tattao nga agnanaed kadagiti igid ti waig, dakayo a tattao a baknang kadagiti gameng, dimtengen ti kalibusananyo. Napugsaten ti linas ti biagyo.
14 The LORD of Hosts has sworn by Himself: “Surely I will fill you up with men as with locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you.”
Nagsapata ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana, 'Punoenkanto kadagiti kabusormo, a kasla kadagiti peste ti dudon; ket ippukkawdanto ti pukkaw no adda gubat maibusor kadakayo.'
15 The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.
Pinarsuana ti daga babaen iti pannakabalinna; impasdekna ti lubong babaen iti siribna. Inyukradna dagiti langit babaen iti pannakaammona.
16 When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
No paggurruodenna, adda iti danarudor ti danum kadagiti langit, ta iyegna ti angep kadagiti ungto ti daga. Pagkimatenna no kasta nga agtudo ken ibabaonna ti angin manipud kadagiti pangiduldulinanna.
17 Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.
Agbalin a kasla ayup nga awan ammona ti tunggal tao nga awan ammona, tunggal mammanday iti landok ket maibabain gapu kadagiti imahenna. Ta dagiti nasukogna nga imahen ket palso; awan ti biag dagitoy.
18 They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.
Awan serserbida, aramid dagitoy dagiti manglalais; mapukawdanto iti tiempo iti pannakadusada.
19 The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and of the tribe of His inheritance— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
Ngem ti Dios, a pagdaydayawan ni Jacob, ket saan a kas kadagitoy, ta isuna ti tagasukog kadagiti amin a banbanag. Ti Israel ti tribu a tawidna; Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.
20 “You are My war club, My weapon for battle. With you I shatter nations; with you I bring kingdoms to ruin.
Sika ti martiliok a panggubat, ti igamko a panggubat. Babaen kenka, burakekto dagiti nasion ken dadaelek dagiti pagarian.
21 With you I shatter the horse and rider; with you I shatter the chariot and driver.
Babaen kenka, burakekto dagiti kabalio ken dagiti mangsaksakay kadagitoy; babaen kenka burakekto dagiti karwahe ken dagiti mangiturturong kadagitoy.
22 With you I shatter man and woman; with you I shatter the old man and the youth; with you I shatter the young man and the maiden.
Babaen kenka papatayekto ti tunggal lalaki ken babai; babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti lallakay ken ub-ubbing. Babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti bumarito ken dagiti birhen a babbai.
23 With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock; with you I shatter the farmer and his oxen; with you I shatter the governors and officials.
Babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti agpaspastor ken dagiti arbanda; babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti agar-arado ken dagiti bunggoyda. Babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti gobernador ken dagiti opisial.
24 Before your very eyes I will repay Babylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion,”
Ta iti imatangmo, balsekto ti Babilonia ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Caldea gapu kadagiti amin a dakes nga inaramidda idiay Sion—daytoy ket pakaamo ni Yahweh.”
25 “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, you who devastate the whole earth, declares the LORD. I will stretch out My hand against you; I will roll you over the cliffs and turn you into a charred mountain.
“Kitaem, maibusorak kenka, sika a bantay, a mangdadael kadagiti dadduma a tattao—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—a mangdadael iti entero a daga. Kabilenka babaen iti imak ket itinnagka kadagiti derraas. Ket pagbalinenkanto a bantay a naan-anay a napuoran.
26 No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstone or a foundation stone, because you will become desolate forever,”
Saandanto ngarud a makaala iti aniaman a bato a pangaramidda iti suli wenno adigi ti pasdek; gapu ta agnanayonkanto a nadadael—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
27 “Raise a banner in the land! Blow the ram’s horn among the nations! Prepare the nations against her. Summon the kingdoms against her— Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a captain against her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.
Mangingatokayo iti wagayway iti lubong. Puyotanyo ti trumpeta kadagiti nasion. Isaganayo dagiti nasion a mangraut kenkuana. Ipadamagyo ti maipapan kenkuana kadagiti pagarian ti Ararat, Minni, ken Askenaz; mangdutokkayo iti mangidadaulo a mangraut iti daytoy; mangiyegkayo kadagiti kabalio a kasla kadagiti pangen dagiti dudon.
28 Prepare the nations for battle against her— the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their officials, and all the lands they rule.
Isaadyo dagiti nasion a mangraut iti daytoy: dagiti ari ti Medes ken dagiti gobernadorna, dagiti amin nga opisialna ken dagiti amin a daga nga iturturayanna.
29 The earth quakes and writhes because the LORD’s intentions against Babylon stand: to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Ta magunggonto ken agsanaang ti daga, agsipud ta agtuloy ti panggep ni Yahweh a maibusor iti Babilonia, a pagbalinenna a langalang ti Babilonia nga awan iti agnanaed.
30 The warriors of Babylon have stopped fighting; they sit in their strongholds. Their strength is exhausted; they have become like women. Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze, the bars of her gates are broken.
Nagsardengen a makigubat digiti soldado ti Babilonia, nagtalinaedda kadagiti sarikedkedda. Naibusen dagiti pigsada; nagbalindan a kasla babbai—Mapuppuoran dagiti babbalayna, nadadael dagiti landok a ruanganna.
31 One courier races to meet another, and messenger follows messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city has been captured from end to end.
Agtaray ti maysa a mensahero tapno ipadamagna iti sabali pay a mensahero, ken ibaga ti maysa a tumataray iti sabali pay a tumataray nga ipadamagna iti ari ti Babilonia a nasakupen ti entero a siudadna.
32 The fords have been seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers are terrified.”
Isu a nasakupen ti ababaw a paset ti karayan; pupuoran ti kabusor dagiti runruno, ken mariribukan dagiti mannakigubat a lallaki ti Babilonia.”
33 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “The Daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled. In just a little while her harvest time will come.”
“Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel: Ti anak a babai ti Babilonia ket kasla pagirikan. Tiempon iti panangibaddebaddek kenkuana. Iti mabiit, dumteng ti tiempo iti panangapit iti daytoy.
34 “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me; he has crushed me. He has set me aside like an empty vessel; he has swallowed me like a monster; he filled his belly with my delicacies and vomited me out.
Kuna ti Jerusalem, 'Inalun-onnak ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia. Pinamagaannak ken inaramidnak nga awan naggianna a banga. Inalun-onnak a kasla dragon. Pinunnona ti tianna babaen iti naimas a taraonko. Imbellengna dagiti saanna a kayat manipud kaniak.' Kunaento dagiti agnanaed iti Sion,
35 May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” says the dweller of Zion. “May my blood be on the dwellers of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
'Agsubli koma iti Babilonia ti kinaranggas nga inaramidna kaniak ken iti pamiliak.' Kunaento ti Jerusalem, 'Agsubli koma kadagiti agnanaed idiay Caldea ti basol a gapu iti panagsayasay ti darak.'”
36 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance on your behalf; I will dry up her sea and make her springs run dry.
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaenyo, makitungtongakto iti maipanggep iti basolyo ken ibalsankayonto. Ta pagmagaekto dagiti danum ti Babilonia ken dagiti ubbogna.
37 Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant.
Agbalinto ti Babilonia a gabgabsuon iti naburak a bato, a pagnanaedan dagiti atap nga aso, maysa a banag a nakabutbuteng, maysa a banag a pagsakuntipan, nga awan ti agnanaed.
38 They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.
Agngerngerto dagiti taga-Babilonia a kasla kadagiti urbon a leon. Agngerngerda a kasla kadagiti uken a leon.
39 While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they may revel; then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up, declares the LORD.
Inton pumudotda iti kinaagumda, agpadayaakto para kadakuada; bartekekto ida tapno agragsakda, kalpasanna ket makaturogda iti awan patinggana a pannaturog ket saandanton a makariing pay—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
Ibaonkonto ida a bumaba a kasla kadagiti karnero iti pagpartian, a kasla kadagiti kalakian a karnero a kaddua dagiti kalakian a kalding.”
41 How Sheshach has been captured! The praise of all the earth has been seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
“Anian ti pannakasakup ti Babilonia! Nagsardeng ngarud ti panagdaydayaw ti entero a daga. Anian ti panagbalin ti Babilonia a nadadael a lugar kadagiti nasion.
42 The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered in turbulent waves.
Linapunos iti baybay ti Babilonia! Nalapunos daytoy kadagiti dumaranudor a dalluyon.
43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and arid land, a land where no one lives, where no son of man passes through.
Nagbalin a langalang dagiti siudad daytoy, maysa a namaga a daga ken let-ang, maysa a daga nga awan agnanaed, ken awan ti tao a lumablabas.
44 I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him spew out what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even the wall of Babylon will fall.
Dusaekto ngarud ni Bel idiay Babilonia; iruarkonto iti ngiwatna ti inalun-onna, ket saanton a mapan kenkuana dagiti nasion nga adda imetda a datdaton. Marbanto dagiti pader ti Babilonia.”
45 Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD.
Rummuarkayo manipud kenkuana, dakayo a tattaok. Isalakan koma ti tunggal maysa kadakayo ti biagna manipud iti kinarungsot ti pungtotko.
46 Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid when the rumor is heard in the land; for a rumor will come one year— and then another the next year— of violence in the land and of ruler against ruler.
Saan koma a maupay wenno agbuteng dagiti pusoyo kadagiti damag a mangngegyo iti daga, ta umayto dagiti damag iti makatawen. Kalpasan daytoy, iti sumaruno a tawen addanto dagiti damag, ket addanto kinaranggas iti daga. Agbibinnusorto dagiti mangiturturay.
47 Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon. Her entire land will suffer shame, and all her slain will lie fallen within her.
Ngarud, kitaenyo, umayto dagiti aldaw inton dusaek dagiti nakitikitan a didiosen ti Babilonia. Maibabainto ti entero a daga daytoy, ken maidasayto iti tengngana dagiti amin a napapatay.
48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon because the destroyers from the north will come against her,”
Ket agrag-onto ti langit ken ti daga, ken dagiti amin nga adda kadagitoy gapu iti Babilonia. Ta umayto dagiti mangdadael iti Babilonia manipud iti amianan—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
49 “Babylon must fall on account of the slain of Israel, just as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.
“Kas iti panangpasag ti Babilonia kadagiti napapatay iti Israel, mapasagto met idiay Babilonia dagiti amin a mapapatay kadagiti amin a daga daytoy.”
50 You who have escaped the sword, depart and do not linger! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come to mind.”
Dakayo a nakalasat iti kampilan, agtignaykayo! Saankayo nga agtalinaed. Lagipenyo ni Yahweh manipud iti adayo; lagipenyo koma ti Jerusalem.
51 “We are ashamed because we have heard reproach; disgrace has covered our faces, because foreigners have entered the holy places of the LORD’s house.”
Naibabainkami, ta nakangngegkami kadagiti pananglalais; Inabbungan ti pannakaibabain dagiti rupami, ta nakastrek dagiti ganggannaet kadagiti nasantoan a lugar iti balay ni Yahweh.”
52 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will groan.
Ngarud, kitaenyo, dumtengen dagiti aldaw— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—inton dusaek dagiti nakitikitan a didiosen daytoy, ken agasugto dagiti nasugatan a tattao nga adda iti amin a dagana.
53 Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens and fortifies her lofty stronghold, the destroyers I send will come against her,” declares the LORD.
Ta uray no agpangato ti Babilonia kadagiti langit wenno patibkerenna dagiti kangangatoan a sarikedkedna, aggapunto kaniak dagiti mangdadael iti daytoy—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
54 “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Adda pukkaw gapu iti panagrigat a naggapu iti Babilonia, maysa a nakaro a pannakadadael iti daga dagiti Caldeo.
55 For the LORD will destroy Babylon; He will silence her mighty voice. The waves will roar like great waters; the tumult of their voices will resound.
Ta daddadaelen ni Yahweh ti Babilonia. Pukpukawenna ti napigsa a timek daytoy. Umarimbangaw dagiti kabusorda a kasla dalluyon iti adu a danum; pummigsa unay dagiti ringgorda.
56 For a destroyer is coming against her— against Babylon. Her warriors will be captured, and their bows will be broken, for the LORD is a God of retribution; He will repay in full.
Ta dimtengen dagiti mangdadadael a maibusor iti daytoy—maibusor iti Babilonia! —ken natiliwen dagiti mannakigubat daytoy. Natukkolen dagiti panada, ta ni Yahweh ti Dios ti panagibales; sigurado nga ipatungpalnan daytoy a panangsupapak.
57 I will make her princes and wise men drunk, along with her governors, officials, and warriors. Then they will fall asleep forever and not wake up,” declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
“Ta bartekekto dagiti prinsipe, dagiti masirib, dagiti opisial, ken dagiti soldado daytoy, ket maturogdanto iti awan patinggana ken saandan a pulos a makariing —kastoy ti pakaammo ti Ari: Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.”
58 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Babylon’s thick walls will be leveled, and her high gates consumed by fire. So the labor of the people will be for nothing; the nations will exhaust themselves to fuel the flames.”
kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Naan-anayto a marba dagiti napuskol a pader ti Babilonia, ken mapuoranto dagiti nangangato a ruangan daytoy. Ket awanto serserbi dagiti trabaho dagiti tattao nga umay tumulong iti daytoy; mapuoranto ti tunggal banag a padasen ti nasion nga aramiden para iti daytoy.”
59 This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to the quartermaster Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.
Daytoy ti sao nga imbilin ni profeta Jeremias kenni Seraias a putot a lalaki ni Nerias a putot a lalaki ni Maasaias idi kimmuyog isuna kenni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda a napan idiay Babilonia iti maikapat a tawen ti panagturayna. Ita ni Seraias ti panguloen nga opisial.
60 Jeremiah had written on a single scroll about all the disaster that would come upon Babylon—all these words that had been written concerning Babylon.
Ta insurat ni Jeremias iti nalukot a pagbasaan ti maipanggep kadagiti amin a didigra nga umayto iti Babilonia—amin dagitoy a sasao a naisurat ket maipanggep iti Babilonia.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud,
Kinuna ni Jeremias kenni Seraias, “Inton mapanka idiay Babilonia, siguradoem a basaem amin dagitoy a sasao.
62 and say, ‘O LORD, You have promised to cut off this place so that no one will remain—neither man nor beast. Indeed, it will be desolate forever.’
Ket ibagamto, 'Yahweh, sika! —sika a mismo ti nangibaga a dadaelem daytoy a lugar. Awanto ti agnaed iti daytoy, dagiti tattao man wenno dagiti ayup. Agnanayonto daytoy nga agbalin a langalang.'
63 When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and cast it into the Euphrates.
Ket inton malpasmo a basaen daytoy a nalukot a pagbasaan, mangigalutka iti bato iti daytoy ket ipuruakmo iti tengnga ti Eufrates.
64 Then you are to say, ‘In the same way Babylon will sink and never rise again, because of the disaster I will bring upon her. And her people will grow weary.’” Here end the words of Jeremiah.
Ibagam, 'Lumnedto ti Babilonia a kasla iti daytoy. Saanto a lumung-aw daytoy gapu iti didigra nga ibaonko a maibusor iti daytoy, ket mapasagdanto.”' Ditoy ti naggibusan dagiti sasao ni Jeremias.
