Jeremiah 51
1 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will raise up, over Babylon and over its inhabitants, who have lifted up their heart against me, something like a pestilent wind.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin aseiye: “Keiman Babylon mite douna mi sumangpa katil doh ding ahi.”
2 And I will send winnowers into Babylon, and they will winnow her, and they will demolish her land. For they will overwhelm her from every side in the day of her affliction.
Gamchom mite hunguva huisin changpol alhoh manjel bang a, gimna nikhoa amanu doudia jet le veiya kona ahindel khum diu ahi.
3 Let him who draws the bow, not draw his bow. And let him who wears armor, not rise up. Do not spare her young men. Destroy her entire military.
Galvon kivon manlouvin lhauvin, ahilou le thalpi kap thempa jong chun athalpi kamda henlang; galsat mi phalai ho hing hoi dauvin! Sepai jouse sugam hel’ un
4 And the slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in its regions.
Babylon mite gamsung le lamlen ho-a akithat ho lhuchap ding ahiuve.
5 Yet Israel and Judah have not been widowed by their God, the Lord of hosts, though their land has been filled with transgression against the Holy One of Israel.
Van Sepai Pakai in Israel leh Judah adalha poi. Ama chu a Pathen-u ahijing in, agamsung-u chonsetna le Israel mithengpa douna adim jeng vang uvin.
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon! And let each one save his own life. Do not be silent about her iniquity. For it is the time of revenge from the Lord. He himself will repay her, in her turn.
Babylon na konin jam un! Kihinsona din lhaiyun! Amanu talen kipehnaa chun kisat lhah thasah hih-uvin! Pakai phulah phat ahin lethuhna lhingset ding ahi.
7 Babylon is a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, inebriating the entire earth. The nations have drunk from her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
Babylon hi Pakai khut’a sana khon tobang chu ahin, vannoi pumpi kidon khamsah ahi, namtin vaipin Babylon lengpitwiya kham ahin, chule hichea chu ngolgam a ahitauve.
8 Suddenly, Babylon has fallen and been crushed. Wail over her! Take a balm to her pain, if perhaps she may be healed.”
Hetman louvin Babylon alhun Amanu din kap’uvin. Amanu ding damdoi peuvin. Ijemtia adam kitthei a ahi le.
9 “We would have cured Babylon, but there is no cure. Let us abandon her, and let each one of us go to his own land. For her judgment has reached even to the heavens, and has been lifted up even to the clouds.
Kithopi ding kanom in, ahinlah tun huhdoh thei ahitapoi. Amanu dalhauvin, chetau hite igamcheh uva. Ajeh chu athu kitan lhah na-in van asun, anasa behseh in akitepi abeihel e.
10 The Lord has brought forth our justices. Come and let us describe in Zion the work of the Lord our God.”
Pakaiyin idihna aphongdoh tai. Hungun, Pakai i-Pathen’u thilbol Zion a seichoi juhite.
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers. The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. And his mind is against Babylon, so that he may destroy her. For this is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
Thalchang ho notval un! lumho domsang un, Pakaiyin Medes lengte lung asuthoutai. Ajeh chu atup chu Babylon a suhmang ding chu ahi, ajeh chu hiche Pakai phulah, a-hou in phulahna ahi.
12 Upon the walls of Babylon, lift up a sign. Increase the watch! Rouse the watchmen! Prepare ambushes! For the Lord has planned and has accomplished all that he has spoken, against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Babylon kulbang vum'a gal ponlap tungdoh-un, khongah hatsah-un, khongah ho tungdoh-un, ajeh chu Babylon mite douna’a Pakaiyin asei chu agongtoh in, atong tai.
13 You who live above many waters, rich in treasures: your end has arrived, your measure has been cut short.
Hiche gamsung’a hin vadung tampi along in. Kiveina manlu tahtah aum e, ahivangin aphat akichaina ahunglhun tai.
14 The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself, saying: “For I will fill you with men as with locusts, and they will sing a rhythmic chant against you.”
Pakai Sepai chu amatah akihahsel e, ama min in, “Nakhopi sung’u nagal mite hungdim din, khaokho ho tobang hela mihem kahindip teitei ding nahi, amahon nangma douna’a hung ao-doh diu ahi.”
15 The One who made the earth by his strength, who prepared the world by his wisdom, and who stretched out the heavens by his prudence:
Pakai in leiset hi Amathahatna asem ahin, asetlouna dinga achihnaa akoi, ahetchetnaa kona jong Aman van aphajal ahitai.
16 when he utters his voice, the waters will be multiplied in the heavens. The One who lifts up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he has turned lightning into rain, and he has brought forth wind from his storehouses.
Ama a-aw asodoh teng, van hoa twipi tamtah ahung umjin van monga konin meilhang asemkhom e. Gojuh teng kol aphetsah-in, akholmuna kon khohui anunsah e.
17 Each man has become foolish before his own knowledge. Each sculptor has been confounded by his own sculpture. For what he has formed of them is a lie, and there is no spirit in them.
Hiche amuteng ule mitin a ngolden jiuve chule hetthemna anei pove! Mikhut thiem takip semthu milim a kijumso ahiuve. Ajeh chu amilim semthu uchu joubulom ahin, amaho – a haitheina hu le thilboltheina aumpoi.
18 They are empty works, deserving of ridicule. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
Hiche milim semthu hochu mohseh, athu aki kholtoh phatteng ule mangthah cheh diu ahi.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like their portion. For the One who made all things is his portion, and Israel is the scepter of his inheritance. The Lord of hosts is his name:
Ahinlah Israel Pathen vang chu milim semthu ahipoi! Thil ijakai Sempa le ahung konna ahin, ama amite ama goulo ahi. Van Pakai sepai janel chu Ama min ahi.
20 “For me, you strike together the instruments of war; and with you, I will strike together nations; and with you, I will scatter the kingdoms.
Pakaiyin aseiyin, nangma kagal heicha le chemjam nahin, “Namtin vaipi le lenggam jouse suhmangna kaman nahi.”
21 And with you, I will strike together the horse and his rider; and with you, I will strike together the chariot and its rider.
Chule nangma’a sakolte le achunga toupa kasuh chip ding, kangtalaiho le atolte jong mangthah ding ahi.
22 And with you, I will strike together man and woman; and with you, I will strike together the old man and the boy; and with you, I will strike together the young man and the virgin.
Nangma’a pasal le numei jong kasuchip ding, tehse le chate jong kasuchip ding ahi; Chule nangma’a nungah le gollhang jong kasuchip ding ahi.
23 And with you, I will strike together the pastor and his flock; and with you, I will strike together the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you, I will strike together military leaders and civil leaders.
Nangma’a kelngoichingpa le akelngoihon jong kasuchip ding, nangma’a loubolpa le abongchal ho, chule agal lamkaiho le vaihom ho jong kasuchip ding ahi.
24 And I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion, before your eyes, says the Lord.
Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Keima in Jerusalem a kamite chun thilse abol chengseu Babylon mite kale thuhding ahi,” ati.
25 Behold, I am against you, you pestilent mountain, says the Lord, for you are corrupting the entire earth. And I will extend my hand over you, and I will roll you down from the rocks, and I will make you into a burning mountain.
Pakayin aseiyin “Ven, thahat mollentah leiset pumpi sumang! Keima nakidoupi kahi.” Nachung a kakhut kalhan doh a, munsang’a kona kasuh lhah’a, nangma ima hilou akavamsa mol kaso ding nahi.
26 And they will not take from you a stone for the corner, nor a stone for the foundations. Instead, you will be destroyed unto eternity,” says the Lord.
Nangma tonsot’a dalpeia umdin nanga kona in – ning song ding le inbul song dia alah lou diu ahitan, nangma hi pampei hel’a um ding nahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
27 Lift up a sign in the land! Sound the trumpet among the nations! Sanctify the nations against her. Announce against her the kings of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Number against her Taphsar. Lead in the horse, like the stinging locust.
Namtin din ponlap khat tahdoh unlang, namtin vaipi lah’a sumkon gintoh kigotsah un kisat ding! Ararat sepaite hinpuidoh un, Minni, chule Ashkenaz gal lamkai semun lang, khao khoho bang in sakol ho hungtousah – un.
28 Sanctify the nations against her: the kings of Media, their military leaders, and all their civil leaders, and the entire land under their authority.
Amanu douding namtin vaipi hinpui un, lamkai ding Medes lengte chule a vaihom ho jouse toh,
29 And the earth will be shaken and will be disturbed. For the plan of the Lord against Babylon will awaken, so that he may make the land of Babylon desolate and uninhabitable.
agam chu akithing thing jeng in anasalheh jeng e. Pakaiyin Babylon dounaa thil agon jouse kikhel lou ding ahi. Babylon gamsung ahomkeova umsah ding aching beihel’a koi ding ahi.
30 The strong ones of Babylon have ceased to do battle. They have lived in fortresses. Their health has been devoured, and they have become like women. Her tabernacles have been set ablaze; her bars have been broken.
Amanu galhat ho, galsat ahaiyun. Akul sunga aumden tauve ahatnau adailhan numei toh abang tauve. Achen nau ahallha uvin chule khopi kelkot jouse atumkeh – un ahi.
31 Runner will go forth to meet runner, and messenger will meet messenger, so as to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been captured, from one end to the other,
Thusep khat chu achomto kisuto ding, thangkou khat chu achom khattoh kisuto – a, akhopi chu among khatna konin akilatai ti hil dingin.
32 and that the fords were seized in advance, and that the marshes have been burned with fire, and that the men of war have been set in disarray.
Jam na diu lampi ho akikhah in pumpeng aneihou meiya akihal lhan, sepaite akicha gam tauve.
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. This is the time of her threshing. A little while longer, and the time of her harvest will arrive.”
Ijeh-inem itileh thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Babylon chanu chu kengto chotpha akinei tengleh changpol tobang ahin, Ahivang in phat chomkhat nung leh achang –at phat hung lhung ding ahitai,’’ ati.
34 “Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has consumed me, has devoured me. He has made me like an empty vessel. He has swallowed me like a dragon. He has filled his belly with my tender ones, and he has cast me out.
“Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in keima eival lhum in, aman eisuchip in; kathahat jouse asugoitan ahi. Hing ne bangin keima eivel lhum tai, ka haosatna oiva set in eine peh tan. Aman kagam sunga kon in eipei doh tai.
35 This iniquity is against me, and so my flesh is upon Babylon,” says the habitation of Zion. “And my blood is upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
Keima chungle kaphunggol mite chunga pum hat jinga thil kibol chu Babylon khopi chunga chujeng hen,’’ ati. Zion cheng mite chun seiju hen, “Keima thisan man chu Babylon mite gam'a chengte chung a chu jeng hen,’’ tin Jerusalem in jong seihen.
36 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will judge your case, and I will avenge your vengeance, and I will make her sea into a desert, and I will dry up her spring.
Jerusalem mite koma Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Nakhan khou gel’ing ting, namelma teuvin nabolnau chu kale ditsah ding ahi. Babylon twikul kansah ingting chule avadung jouse kangsoh ding ahi.”
37 And Babylon will become a tumult, the habitation of dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
Chuteng Babylon chu ingem jeng kisechop ding, gamsa chenna soh ding; chule koima chenna hitalouva, gamsa jengseh chenna hiding ahi.
38 They will roar together, like lions, they will shake their manes, like young lions.
Amaho abonchauvin keipi bahkai hon banga kitum tum diu, sakei noute banga ngih ngih jeng diu ahi.
39 In their heat, I will give them a drink, and I will inebriate them, so that they become drowsy, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and do not rise up, says the Lord.
Amaho nei-yin ahul sat pet tah’a keiman golvah kagonpeh ding, ju kadon sah a; aitih chan geiya ihmu mu jeng diu, kithoukit louva thidiu ahi, tin Pakainyin aseiye.
40 I will lead them away, like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with young goats.
Keiman amaho thuhi kelngoi nou akitha na ding le kel ngoichal ho kelcha ho banga kilhainaa ki that bang hi ding ahiuve.
41 How was Sesac captured, and how was the renowned one of all the earth seized? How has Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
Itidan a Babylon chu lhujeng hi tam vannoi pumpi in apachat khopi chu tua hi, amanu namtin a dingin kichat umta thil ahidohtai.
42 The sea has ascended over Babylon; she has been covered by the multitude of its waves.
Babylon chu twikhanglen in achup tan, amanu achunga twipi aki deldel e.
43 Her cities have become an astonishment, an uninhabited and desolate land, a land in which no one may live, nor may a son of man pass through it.
Akhopi hochu akam hel in, gamgo, gamthip, mikhat cha chennalou gam, mihem chapa khatchan ajotpa louhel asoh tai.
44 And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will cast from his mouth what he has swallowed. And the nations will no longer flow together before him. For even the wall of Babylon will also fall.
Keiman Babylon Pathen bel chu talent kapeh ding, aval lhumsa chu akam sunga kona kalah doh peh ding ahi. Namtin vaipi ho Amahou dinga aheng a hung kitol tol lou hel ding ahi. Ajeh chu Babylon khopi pal chu chim ahitai.
45 Go forth from her midst, my people, so that each one may save his life from the wrath of the fury of the Lord.
Hung potdoh'un, kamite, Babylon khopi akon in jam doh loiyun nangma kihuhhing cheh un! Pakai lunghan na kon in jam un.
46 For otherwise, your heart may faint, and you may be afraid at the news that is heard in the land. And the news will arrive within a year, and after that year more news will arrive. And iniquity will be in the land, and one ruler will be over another ruler.
Nalungthim lhahsam sah hih-uvin, Gamsunga thu kithang jeh hin kicha hih uvin; kum khat sunga thu thang khat hung lhung ji ahin, khonung teng akum kit’a chu thu thang khatma hung lhung jia ahiye; Gamsunga pumhat jeng aumtan, Vaihom khat chu vaihom khat dou umcheh ahitai.
47 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, when I will visit against the graven images of Babylon. And her entire land will be confounded, and all her slain will fall in her midst.
Hijeh chun vetan, keiman Babylon khopia pathen lim sem thuho talent kapeh na ding nikho ho chu ahung lhunge. Agam sung pumpi hi kijum so ding, alam len dunga amite ki that jouse ki jam dan ding ahiuve.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all the things that are in them, will give praise over Babylon. For despoilers will approach her from the north, says the Lord.
Chujou teng le van le leiset chule asung a umjousen, Babylon khopi chunga kipa la asah diu ahi. Ijeh-inam itileh amaho dou dinga Misumang ho chu Sah lam gamkaiya kona hung kondoh ding ahitauve, tin Pakaiyin seiye.
49 And in the manner that Babylon has caused the slain to fall in Israel, so the slain of Babylon will fall over the entire earth.
Babylon in Israel mite athagam banga, chuleh leiset pumpi kitha gam jeh a amanu lhu a ahitai.
50 You who have fled from the sword, approach, do not stand still. Remember from afar the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.
Pohdoh un, nangho chemjam’a kona houidoh ho! ding den hih un chule ve hih un – jam thei ahi pat in! Pakai chu geldoh jing un kholgam lhatah a naum vang un, chule na gam lang u Jerusalem gel doh jing un.
51 We have been confounded, for we heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces, for strangers have overwhelmed the holiness of the house of the Lord.
Jumsona kachang un ahi, ijeh-inem itileh houset kachan u-ahitai. Kamai jengu jong jabolna akilah tapoi, ajeh chu Pakai munthenga gamdang miho ahunglut tauve, tia nasei diu ahi.
52 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will visit against her graven images, and within all her land the wounded will groan.
Hijeh chun ven, hiche nikho ho chu ahung lhung tai, tin Pakaiyin aseije; milim semthu ho chunga thu katan ding, agam pumpi lung leng ding chule maha pua peng ding ahi.
53 If Babylon were to ascend to heaven, and establish her strength on high, her despoilers would go forth from me, says the Lord.”
Babylon chu vanlam sanga kaltou ding hihen, akulpi jeng jong sangtah'a aget ding hijongleh, kamite ama sumang dinga achunga hung lhung ding ahi.
54 A voice of outcry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Babylon awgin kithong leh Chaldea mite gam'a manthahna awgin akithong e.
55 For the Lord has despoiled Babylon, and he has perished the great voice from her. And their wave will make a sound like many waters. Their voice has uttered a noise.
Ijeh-inem itileh Pakaiyin Babylon hi akeosah a aumsah ahitan, husa gin beihel a alhaa; acheh chaunau gin jong twi kinong tobang'in aging in, a awgin husan ujong agimnei cheh cheh in ahi.
56 For the despoiler has overwhelmed her, that is, Babylon, and her strong ones have been apprehended, and their bow has been weakened. For the Lord, the powerful revenger, will certainly repay.
Misumangpa Babylon chunga achutan, agal hang sepai ho jong akhomtup soh tai. Athalpi jouse jong abang abaijin aum gam in, ajeh chu Pakai chu milethuh Pakai ahin, thon louhel’a lethuhna apehji ahi.
57 “And I will inebriate her leaders, and her wise ones, and her military rulers, and her civil rulers, and her strong ones. And they will sleep an everlasting sleep, and they will not awaken,” says the King: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Aleng chapate ahin, ami ching ho jouse jaona ju ka-khamsah soh hel ding, chule agam vaipo ahin asepai lah’a thunei vaihom ho, agal hang ho jouse jong khamsoh hel diu ahi. Thabeiya imu lhu diu, kithou talou diu ahitai, tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseiye.
58 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “That very wide wall of Babylon will be utterly overturned, and her exalted gates will be burned with fire, and the labors of the people will be as nothing, and the labors of the nations will be sent into the fire and will perish.”
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, Babylon in pal nasatah akai chu tollham a
59 The word that Jeremiah, the prophet, instructed to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he traveled with king Zedekiah into Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was the leader of the prophets.
Judah lengpa Zedekiah leng ahikal kumli alhing in, Jeremiah themgaovin Babylon mun’a ana kilhonp’n Mahseiah chapa, Neriah chapa Seraiah thu anapen hiti hin anaseiyin ahi. Saraiah kitipa hi thil ijakai chingtup dinga ngensena ana chang ahi.
60 And Jeremiah wrote in one book all the evil that was to overwhelm Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.
Hiti chun Jeremiah chun Babylon mun’a lhung ding thil abonchan anajih lut’in, Babylon thudol in thu hijatpi chu ana kijihlut tan ahi.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you will enter into Babylon, and you will see and read all these words,
Chuin Jeremiah in Saraiah henga hiti hin aseiyin, “Babylon mun nalhung teng thu hichengse hi nasim doh tei ding ahi, phatah in vephan,” atin,
62 you will say: ‘O Lord, you have spoken against this place so that you may destroy it, so that there would not be anyone, from man even to beast, who may live in it, and so that it may be desolate forever.’
hiti hin aseiyin, ‘Pakai nangman hiche mun chungchang thudol’a hin seiyin, hiche mun hi kisu mang ding, asung hi chenna hita lou ding; mihem ahin chule gamsa jeng jong aitih channa chenna hilouding ahom keu jeng hiding ahi.’
63 And when you will have completed reading this book, you will tie a stone to it, and you will cast it into the midst of the Euphrates.
Hiche lekha hi nasim chai teng songkhat toh nakan beh ding, hichu vadung lailunga nase lut ding ahi.
64 And you will say: ‘So shall Babylon be submerged! And she will not rise up before the face of the affliction that I will lead over her. And she will be broken.’” The words of Jeremiah thus far.
Chuteng keiman hiche mun’a kahin lhut ding thilse jal’a hi Babylon jong kidodoh kit talou ding, hitia chu mangthah hel ding ahitai, tin seiyin,” ati. Hichengse hi Jeremiah thusei dohho ahi.
