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.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hetsefeko amy Bavele naho amo mpimone’ i Leb-Kanaio ty kofom-pijoy.
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.
Le hañitrifako ty ambahiny hanongañe aze, naho hampikapaike i tane’ey; fa hiarikoboñe hiatreatre aze iereo amy andron-kankà’ey.
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!
Ko mei’o t’ie hampibitso-pale, naho ty hiongaha’ ty aman-tsarom-by; tsy sisañe o ajalahi’eo, fonga rotsaho o valobohò’eo,
4 And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.
hitsingoro an-tane’ o nte Kasdio, ie tinombok’ an-dala’iareo eo.
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.”
Fe tsy niramavoin’ Añahare’e, Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’Israele naho Iehodà; ndra te lifo-kakeo aolo’ i Masi’ Israeley i tane’ iareoy.
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.
Itribaho ty lay i Bavele ao, songa mandrombaha aiñe, ko mirotsak’ amy fandilovañe azey; fa tondroke ty andron-kaviñera’ Iehovà; hañondroha’e ho valen-kakeo’e.
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.
Toe ni-fitovy volamena am-pità’ Iehovà t’i Bavele, hene nampimamoe’e ty tane toy; ninome’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty divai’e, izay ty maha-dereñe iareo.
8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her; get her balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
Nideboñe ami’ty manao zao ty Bavele, rotsake! angololoiho! Añendeso aoly o fangirifiri’eo, hera hahasarik’ aze.
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.”
Nañosora’ay famelañe t’i Bavele, f’ie tsy nahajangañe aze, ifario, antao songa himpoly mb’an-tane’e añe; fa mitakatse i likerañey ty fizakañ’aze, toe mionjomb’an-dindiñe añe.
10 “The LORD has brought forth our vindication; come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has accomplished.”
Fa nihenefa’ Iehovà ty fañavantañañe anay; antao hitalily e Tsione ao ty fitoloña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
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.
Sioño o ana-paleo, atsafo o traño’eo, fa nitroboe’ Iehovà ty tro’ o mpanjaka’ i Madaio; fa safiri’e ty mandrotsake i Bavele; ho famalea’ Iehovà, ho fañodrohañe i anjomba’ey.
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.
Aonjono viloñe amo kijoli’ i Baveleo, ampaozaro o mpijiloo, atroaro o mpañambeñeo, ampihentseño mpamandroñe; fa naereñerè’ Iehovà naho nihenefa’e i nitsara’e amo mpimone’ i Baveleoy.
13 You who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut.
O mpiambesatse añ’ olon-drano maro, am-bara tsifotofotoo, fa tsatoke ty figadoña’o, ty fizehem-pikatramoa’o.
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.”
Fa nifanta am-pañova’e t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Toe ho tsitsifeko ondaty mira amo kijejao irehe; ie hipoña-tsabo ama’o.
15 The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.
I namboatse ty tane toy ami’ty haozara’ey, i nañoreñe ty voatse toy ami’ty hihi’ey, naho nandafike o likerañeo ami’ty hilala’e;
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.
ie mañotroke i fiarañanaña’ey le mitroñe o rano an-dikerañeo; ampionjone’e boak’añ’olon-tane añe o evoñeo; anoe’e ampiñe i orañey, vaho akare’e amo riha’eo i tiokey.
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.
Zoeñe te biby t’indaty tsy aman-kilala; songa salatse ty mpanefe volamena ty amo sare sokire’eo, te vande avao i trinana’ey, mbore tsy mahakofòke.
18 They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.
Hakoafañe iereo, satam-pamerevere; ie ho mongotse ami’ty andro fandilovañe iareo.
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.
Tsy manahake izay ty Anjara’ Iakobe, amy te Ie ro Mpamboatse ze he’e, naho ty kobain-dova’e, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e;
20 “You are My war club, My weapon for battle. With you I shatter nations; with you I bring kingdoms to ruin.
Ihe ro dodako naho fialiañ’ aliko, ie rekets’Azo le hampagomokomoheko ty fifelehañe naho hampikimokimoheko ty fifeheañe.
21 With you I shatter the horse and rider; with you I shatter the chariot and driver.
Ie ama’o iraho, le andemodemoheko soavala naho i mpiningi’ey, naho ama’o le hampikimokimoheko ty sarete rekets’ i mpijoñe ama’ey;
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.
Ie ama’o le hampibaibaieko t’indaty naho ty ampela, naho ama’o le hañimokimoheko ty androanavy naho ty tora’e; vaho ie ama’o le handemoheko ty ajalahy naho ty somondrara.
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.
Ie ama’o le hampagomokomoheko ty mpiarake naho ty lia-rai’e, ie ama’o le handemoheko ty mpiroake naho o katraka’eo, ie ama’o le hañimokimoheko o mpifeheo rekets’ o sorota’eo.
24 Before your very eyes I will repay Babylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion,”
Le hondrohako amy Bavele naho amo hene mpimone’ i Kasdio, ze fonga halò-tsereke nanoe’ iereo e Tsione ao ampahaoniña’o eo, hoe t’Iehovà.
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.
Inao atreatreko irehe, ry vohitse mandrotsake, hoe t’Iehovà, ty mampianto ty tane toy iaby; le hatora-kitsiko ama’o ty sirako, naho havarimbariko hizotso o tsera-batoo irehe, vaho hanoeko vohitse finorototo.
26 No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstone or a foundation stone, because you will become desolate forever,”
Le tsy hangala’ iareo ama’o ty vato-kotsoke, ndra ty vato hanoeñe manantañe; fa hangoakoake kitro-katroke, hoe t’Iehovà.
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.
Añonjono viloñe i taney, popoho añivo’ o fifeheañeo ty antsiva, añambaho fifeheañe hiatreatre aze, koiho hifanontone ama’e ty fifehea’ i Ararate, i Miny, naho i Askenaze; tendreo mpiaolo hiatrek’aze; ampionjono mb’eo o soavalao hoe kijeja mifamorohotse.
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.
Ambaho ho ama’e o fifeheañeo, o mpanjaka’ o nte-Madaio, o mpifele’eo, o sorotà’eo, reketse ze hene tane fehe’e.
29 The earth quakes and writhes because the LORD’s intentions against Babylon stand: to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Aa le manginikinike vaho mañore i taney; amy te mijadoñe o ereñereñ’ arofo’ Iehovà amy Baveleo, te hampangoakoahe’e ty tane’ i Bavele, tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
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.
Malain-kialy o fanalolahi’ i Baveleo; mikonenak’ am-pipalirañe ao; fa milesa ty haozara’ iareo, hoe t’ie rakemba; nampiforeheteñe o akiba’eo, pinozake o sikada’eo.
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.
Milay hifanojo ami’ty mpijilo raike ty raike, naho hifanampe ami’ty ìrake raike ty raike, hitalily amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley te fa tinavañe an-kotso’e valo i rovay;
32 The fords have been seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers are terrified.”
fa tinambozòtse o fitsahañeo, fa finorototo o vindao, vaho vorombeloñe o lahin-defoñeo.
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.”
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Ho toem-pifofohañe t’i Bavele amy androm-pamofohañey; aniany te ho tendreke ty sam-pitatahañe aze.
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.
Fa nampigedrañ’ahy t’i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka’ i Bavele, dinemo’e iraho, napo’e eo hoe korobo kapaike, nagodra’e an-tsatan-drimo, naatsa’e an-tro’e ao o mafirikoo, vaho sinao’e iraho.
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.
Ee te ho amy Bavele ty hekoheko nanoañe ahy naho amo nofokoo, hoe ty asa’ o mpimone’ i Tsioneo; naho ho amo nte-Kasdio ty lioko, hoe t’Ierosalaime.
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.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Inao! te hañalañalañe ho azo iraho, naho hampañondrohako ty do’e naho ho maiheko i oñe’ey vaho ho riteko i rano’e migoangoañey.
37 Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant.
Hanoeñe votre t’i Bavele, lakatom-panaloke, halatsañe naho fikosihañe, tsy amam-pitoetse.
38 They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.
Hañaolo hoe liona tora’e iereo; hitromoroñe hoe ana-diona mena.
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.
Ie misolebotse ty drao’iareo, le hazotsoko am’iereo ty takataka; hampimamoeko iereo hitsipoñapoña, naho hirota’e firotse kitro-katroke, vaho tsy hivañoñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
Hampiambanèko hoe anak’ añondry ho lentañe, hoe añondrilahy naho oselahy.
41 How Sheshach has been captured! The praise of all the earth has been seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
Hete! fa tinavañe ty Sesake, fa nijihetse ty enge’ ty tane bey toy! Akore te fa halatsañe amo fifeheañeo t’i Bavele.
42 The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered in turbulent waves.
Fa nitroare’ i riakey t’i Bavele, nilipore’ ty fitroatroaha’ o onja’eo.
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.
Fa mangoakoake o rova’eo, kànkañe i taney naho liolio, tane tsy imoneña’ ondaty, tsy irangà’ ty ana’ ondaty.
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.
Toe ho liloveko t’i Bel e Bavele ao, naho hampiakareko am-bava’e ao o nagedra’eo, vaho tsy hikararake mb’ama’e mb’eo ka o fifeheañeo; eka, fa nideboñe ty kijoli’ i Bavele.
45 Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD.
O ry ondatikoo, mandripaha boak’ama’e ao, mipolitira, songa ondaty mirombaha-piaiñe, ami’ty haviñera’ Iehovà miforoforo.
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.
Ko ado’o hifatsike o arofo’ areoo, ko irevendreveñe ty amy tolom-bolañe ho janjiñe amy taney; fa ho pok’eo ty talily bokòke ami’ty taoñe raike, le ty tolom-boetse, an-taon-kafa naho ty fandrakarakañe amy taney ie hifandrapake ami’ty mpifeleke ty mpifehe.
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.
Aa le oniño, te ho tondroke ty andro hizakako o sare niatoa’ i Baveleo, naho fonga ho salareñe i tane’ey; vaho hifitafita ama’e ao o aze zinamañeo.
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,”
Le hisaboe’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy, naho ze hene am’iereo ao, ty Bavele; fa hiambotraha’ o mpamaoke boak’ avaratseo, hoe t’Iehovà.
49 “Babylon must fall on account of the slain of Israel, just as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.
Eka, hikorovoke t’i Bavele ty amo tinomboke e Israeleo, toe nideboñe ty amy Bavele o nihomak’ amy tane iabiio.
50 You who have escaped the sword, depart and do not linger! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come to mind.”
Ry nahafipoliotse amy fibaray, mandripaha, ko tambatse ao, tiahio t’Iehovà boak’ an-tsietoitane añe, vaho ampiziliho añ’arofo’ areo ao t’Ierosalaime.
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.”
Salatse zahay fa nahatsanoñ’ inje, manafotse ty tarehe’ay ty hameñarañe; amy te nimoahan’ ambahiny ty toe-masin’ anjomba’ Iehovà.
52 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will groan.
Aa le oniño te ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te ho liloveko o sare niatoa’eo; vaho hanitsike i tane’ey ty fitoreova’ o nifereo.
53 Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens and fortifies her lofty stronghold, the destroyers I send will come against her,” declares the LORD.
Ndra te hitoabotse mb’andikerañe ey t’i Bavele, naho hafatrare’e i tambohon-kaozara’ey, mbe hiboak’ amako, hionjoñe mb’ama’e mb’eo o mpampiantoo, hoe t’Iehovà.
54 “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Inay ty koeake boak’e Bavele, naho ty harotsahañe jabajaba hirik’an-tane’ o nte-Kasdioo!
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.
Fe hampiantoe’ Iehovà t’i Bavele, naho hajihe’e i fikorahañe ama’ey, ie mitroñe hoe rano mitabohazake o onja’ iareoo, i fipoñafa’ ty fivalitaboaham-peo’iareoy;
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.
Ie mivotrak’ama’e i mpandrotsakey, amy Bavele, naho ho tsepaheñe o fanalolahi’eo, ho tseraheñe o fale’eo; fa Andrianañahare mpamale fate t’Iehovà, toe hene hondroha’e.
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.
Hampimamoeko o roandria’eo naho o mahihi’eo, o mpifeheo naho o mpifelekeo, vaho o fanalolahio; le hirotse firoroan-kitro-katroke, tsy hivañoñe ka, hoe t’i Mpanjaka, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
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.”
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: ho vata’e rotsaheñe o kijoly mateve’ i Baveleo; naho ho forototoe’ ty afo o lalam-bei’e mitiotiotseo; aa le tsi-vara ty fitoloña’ ondatio, vaho afo ty himokora’ o fifeheañeo.
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.
Ty saontsy nafanto’Iirmeà mpitoky amy Seraia ana’ i Nerià, ana’ i Maseia, ie nindre lia amy Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà mbe Bavele mb’eo amy taom-paha-efam-pifehea’ey. (Talèm-pañalankañ’ anjomba t’i Seraia.)
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.
Fonga sinoki’ Iirmeà am-boke-pelek’ ao o hankàñe hifetsak’ amy Baveleo, o hene entañe sinokitse ty amy Bavele retoañe.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud,
Hoe t’Iirmeà amy Seraia: Ie loake e Bavele añe irehe le mahaoniña te ho vakie’o am-peo abo o hene tsara zao,
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.’
le ano ty hoe, Ihe ry Iehovà, ro nitsara ty amy toetse toy, ty hañitoañe aze, tsy ho amam-pañialo, ndra ondaty ndra hare, f’ie hangoakoake nainai’e kitro-katroke.
63 When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and cast it into the Euphrates.
Ie vaho migadoñe ty famakiañe ty boke toy, le handrohiza’o vato, vaho hahiriri’o añivo’ i Perate ao;
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.
le ano ty hoe: Zao ty hilempora’ i Bavele, tsy hitroatse ka, ty amy hankàñe hafetsako ama’e; vaho hitoirañe iereo. Izay ty figadoña’ ty enta’ Iirmeà.
