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.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anakel chunje maketho Kuom Babulon gi jo-Leb Kamai.
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.
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 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.
Kik jadir asere rid atungʼ mare, kata kik orwak okumba mare. Kik ingʼwon-ne joge matindo; tiek jolweny mage duto.
4 And the slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in its regions.
Ginineg-gi Babulon, kendo hinye ahinya e yorene.
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.
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 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.
“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 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.
Babulon ne en kikombe mar dhahabu e lwet Jehova Nyasaye; nomiyo piny duto omer. Ogendini nomadho divai mare; emomiyo koro neko osemakogi.
8 Suddenly, Babylon has fallen and been crushed. Wail over her! Take a balm to her pain, if 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 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.
“‘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 brought forth our justices. Come and let us describe 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 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.
“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 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.
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 live above many waters, rich in treasures: your end has arrived, your measure has been cut short.
Un joma odak machiegni gi pige mangʼeny kendo momewo gi mwandu mangʼeny, gikou osechopo, sa ma itiekoue.
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.”
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osekwongʼore gi nyinge owuon: Adier anakelnu ji mangʼeny, ka bonyo, kendo ginikog gi ilo nikech loch molowugo.
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:
“Nochweyo piny gi tekone; ne ochako piny gi riekone, kendo oyaro polo gi ngʼeyo mare.
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.
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 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.
“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 empty works, deserving of ridicule. 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 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:
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 “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.
“In e odungana mar lweny, gira mar kedo, in ema atiekogo ogendini, in ema akethogo pinjeruodhi,
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.
akonyora kodi kuom tieko faras gi jaithne, in ema atiekogo gach lweny kod jariembe,
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.
in ema anegogo dichwo gi dhako, in ema anegogo jaduongʼ kod rawere, in ema anegogo wuowi kod nyako,
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.
in ema anegogo jakwath gi rombe, in ema anegogo japur gi rwedhi, in ema anegogo ruodhi gi jotelo.”
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.
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, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 Sanctify the nations against her: the kings of Media, their military leaders, and all their civil leaders, and the entire land under their authority.
Ikuru ogendini mondo oked kod ruodhi mag Medes, jotendgi kod jodong-gi duto, kaachiel gi pinje duto ma gitelonegi.
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.
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 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.
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 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,
Jangʼwech achiel luwo bangʼ machielo kendo jaote luwo bangʼ jaote machielo, mondo olandne ruodh Babulon ni dalane maduongʼ mangima osemaki,
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.
kuonde mikalogo aora osemuki, odundu wangʼ, kendo jolweny luoro omako.”
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.”
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 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.
“Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon osetiekowa, oserundo pachwa, oselokowa agulu ma iye ninono. Ka thuol osemuonyowa kendo osepongʼo iye gi chiembwa, mi osengʼudhowa oko.”
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.
Joma odak Sayun wacho niya, “Mad masira ma gisekelonwa bed kuom Babulon.” Jerusalem wacho niya, “Mad rembwa bed ewi joma odak Babulon.”
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.
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anabed jakori kendo anakonyi e bura; anami nembe two kendo thidhna mage notwo.
37 And Babylon will become a tumult, the habitation of dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, because there is no 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 lions, they will shake their manes, like young lions.
Joge duto ruto ka sibuoche matindo, gilengʼore ka nyithi sibuor.
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.
To ka ochiewgi, analosnigi nyasi mi gimer, mondo gikog gi mor; eka ginindi nyaka chiengʼ ma ok ginichiew,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
40 I will lead them away, like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with young goats.
“Anatiekgi ka rombe mitero kar yengʼo, ka imbe kod diek.
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?
“Mano kaka Sheshak nomaki, sunga mar piny ngima norum! Mano kaka Babulon nobedi gima lich makelo bwok e kind ogendini!
42 The sea has ascended over Babylon; she has been covered by the multitude of its waves.
Nam nogingre kuom Babulon; apakane mawuo noume.
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.
Miech jo-Babulon nodongʼ gunda, kama otwo kendo piny motimo ongoro, piny maonge ngʼama odakie, kama onge ngʼama kalo e iye.
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.
Anakum Bel e Babulon kendo anami ongʼog gima ne osemuonyo. Ogendini ok nochak ochokre ire. Kendo ohinga mar Babulon nogore piny.
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.
“Wuoguru oko uayi kuome, joga! Ringuru ukony ngimau! Ringuru uaye mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
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 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.
Nimar adiera kinde biro ma anakum nyiseche manono mag Babulon; pinye duto nobed gi wichkuot kendo joge duto mosenegi nolware iye.
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.
Eka polo gi piny kod gik moko duto manie igi nokog gi ilo nikech Babulon, nimar koa nyandwat jonek nomonje,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
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.
“Babulon nyaka podhi nikech jo-Israel mane onegi, mana kaka ji duto, mosenegi e piny osepodho nikech Babulon.
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.
Un joma osetonyne ligangla, auru kendo kik ugalru! Paruru Jehova Nyasaye e piny mabor, kendo upar Jerusalem.”
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.
“Ochawa, nimar oseyanywa kendo wichkuot oumo wengewa, nikech joma oa e pinje mamoko osedonjo e kuonde maler mar od Jehova Nyasaye.”
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.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To kinde biro, ma anakume nyisechege manono, kendo e pinye mangima joma nigi adhonde nobed gi rem malit.
53 If Babylon were to ascend to heaven, and establish her strength on high, her despoilers would go forth 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 A voice of outcry from Babylon, and 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 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.
Jehova Nyasaye noketh Babulon; nomi koko olingʼ thi. Apaka mag wasigu nowuo ka pige mopongʼ; koko mar dwondgi nowinjre kendo.
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.
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 “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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 And Jeremiah wrote in one book all the evil that was to overwhelm Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.
Jeremia nondiko e kitabu kuom masiche duto mano bi kuom Babulon, mago duto mane osendiki kuom Babulon.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you will enter into Babylon, and you will see and read all these words,
Nowachone Seraya, “Ka ichopo Babulon, ne ni isomo wechegi mondo owinji.
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.’
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 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.
Ka itieko somo kitabuni, twe kidi kuome kendo idire Yufrate.
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.
Eka iwachi ni, ‘E kaka Babulon nonim ma ok nochak ochungʼ kendo nikech masira ma anakel kuome. Kendo joge nopodhi.’” Weche Jeremia ogik kae.
