< Jeremiah 51 >
1 Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I wil raise vp against Babel, and against the inhabitants that lift vp their heart against me, a destroying wind,
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anakel chunje maketho Kuom Babulon gi jo-Leb Kamai.
2 And wil send vnto Babel fanners that shall fanne her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shalbe against her on euery side.
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 Also to the bender that bendeth his bowe, and to him that lifteth himselfe vp in his brigandine, will I say, Spare not her yong men, but destroy all her hoste.
Kik jadir asere rid atungʼ mare, kata kik orwak okumba mare. Kik ingʼwon-ne joge matindo; tiek jolweny mage duto.
4 Thus the slaine shall fall in the lande of the Caldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streetes.
Ginineg-gi Babulon, kendo hinye ahinya e yorene.
5 For Israel hath bene no widowe, nor Iudah from his God, from the Lord of hostes, though their lande was filled with sinne 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 middes of Babel, and deliuer euery man his soule: be not destroyed in her iniquitie: for this is the time of the Lordes vengeance he will render vnto her a recompence.
“Ringuru ua Babulon! Ringuru ukony ngimau! Kik tieku nikech richo mag-gi. En kinde ma Jehova Nyasaye chuloe kuor; enochule gima owinjore kode.
7 Babel hath bene as a golden cuppe in the Lordes hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations haue drunken of her wine, therefore do the nations rage.
Babulon ne en kikombe mar dhahabu e lwet Jehova Nyasaye; nomiyo piny duto omer. Ogendini nomadho divai mare; emomiyo koro neko osemakogi.
8 Babel is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howle for her, bring balme for her sore, if 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 haue cured Babel, but she could not be healed: forsake her, and let vs go euery one into his owne countrey: for her iudgement is come vp vnto heauen, and is lifted vp to ye cloudes.
“‘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 hath brought forth our righteousnesse: come and let vs declare in Zion the worke of the Lord our God.
“‘Jehova Nyasaye oseketowa joma kare; biuru, we wawache ei Sayun, gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa osetimo.’
11 Make bright the arrowes: gather the shieldes: the Lord hath raised vp the spirit of the King of the Medes: for his purpose is against Babel to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, and 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 vp the standart vpon the walles of Babel, make the watch strong: set vp the watchmen: prepare the skoutes: for the Lord hath both deuised, and done that which he spake against the inhabitantes of Babel.
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 O thou that dwellest vpon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine ende is come, euen the ende of thy couetousnes.
Un joma odak machiegni gi pige mangʼeny kendo momewo gi mwandu mangʼeny, gikou osechopo, sa ma itiekoue.
14 The Lord of hostes hath sworne by him selfe, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers, and they shall cry and shoute against thee.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osekwongʼore gi nyinge owuon: Adier anakelnu ji mangʼeny, ka bonyo, kendo ginikog gi ilo nikech loch molowugo.
15 He hath made the earth by his power, and established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.
“Nochweyo piny gi tekone; ne ochako piny gi riekone, kendo oyaro polo gi ngʼeyo mare.
16 Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to raine, and bringeth forth the winde out of his treasures.
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 Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.
“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 vanitie, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Gionge tich, gin gik minyiero; ka ndalogi mar ngʼado bura ochopo, to ginilal nono.
19 The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes 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 Thou art mine hammer, and weapons of warre: for with thee will I breake the nations, and with thee wil I destroy kingdomes,
“In e odungana mar lweny, gira mar kedo, in ema atiekogo ogendini, in ema akethogo pinjeruodhi,
21 And by thee wil I breake horse and horseman, and by thee will I breake the charet and him that rideth therein.
akonyora kodi kuom tieko faras gi jaithne, in ema atiekogo gach lweny kod jariembe,
22 By thee also will I breake man and woman, and by thee wil I breake olde and yong, and by thee wil I breake the yong man and the mayde.
in ema anegogo dichwo gi dhako, in ema anegogo jaduongʼ kod rawere, in ema anegogo wuowi kod nyako,
23 I wil also breake by thee the shepheard and his flocke, and by thee will I breake the husband man and his yoke of oxen, and by thee will I breake the dukes and princes.
in ema anegogo jakwath gi rombe, in ema anegogo japur gi rwedhi, in ema anegogo ruodhi gi jotelo.”
24 And I will render vnto Babel, and to all the inhabitants of the Caldeans all their euil, that they haue done in Zion, euen in your sight, sayth the Lord.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E nyim wangʼu anachul Babulon kod jogo duto modak Babulon kuom gigo maricho magisetimo e Sayun.”
25 Beholde, I come vnto thee, O destroying mountaine, sayth the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand vpon thee, and rolle thee downe from the rockes, and wil make thee a burnt mountaine.
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 shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for euer, sayth 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 vp a standard in the lande: blowe the trumpets among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call vp the kingdomes of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz against her: appoynt the prince against her: cause horses to come vp as the rough caterpillers.
“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 with the Kings of the Medes, the dukes thereof, and the princes thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
Ikuru ogendini mondo oked kod ruodhi mag Medes, jotendgi kod jodong-gi duto, kaachiel gi pinje duto ma gitelonegi.
29 And the land shall tremble and sorow: for the deuise of the Lord shalbe performed against Babel, to make the lande of Babel waste without an 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 strong men of Babel haue ceased to fight: they haue remayned in their holdes: their strength hath fayled, and they were like women: they haue burnt her dwelling places, and her barres 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 A post shall runne to meete the post, and a messenger to meete the messenger, to shew the King of Babel, that his citie is taken on a side thereof,
Jangʼwech achiel luwo bangʼ machielo kendo jaote luwo bangʼ jaote machielo, mondo olandne ruodh Babulon ni dalane maduongʼ mangima osemaki,
32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reedes burnt with fire, and the me of war troubled.
kuonde mikalogo aora osemuki, odundu wangʼ, kendo jolweny luoro omako.”
33 For thus sayth the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, the daughter of Babel is like a threshing floore: the time of her threshing is come: yet a litle while, and the time of her haruest shall come.
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 Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel hath deuoured me, and destroyed me: he hath made me an emptie vessel: he swallowed mee vp like a dragon, and filled his belly with my delicates, and hath 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 The spoyle of me, and that which was left of me, is brought vnto Babel, shall the inhabitant of Zion say: and my blood vnto the inhabitantes of Caldea, shall Ierusalem 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 thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will maintayne thy cause, and take vengeance for thee, and I will drie vp the sea, and drie vp her springes.
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne, anabed jakori kendo anakonyi e bura; anami nembe two kendo thidhna mage notwo.
37 And Babel shall be as heapes, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
Babulon nobed pith mar kethruok, kar dak ondiegi, gima bwogo ji, kendo gima inyiero, kama onge ngʼama odakie.
38 They shall rore together like lions, and yell as the lyons whelpes.
Joge duto ruto ka sibuoche matindo, gilengʼore ka nyithi sibuor.
39 In their heate I will make them feastes, and I wil make them drunken, that they may reioyce, and sleepe a perpetual sleepe, and not wake, sayth 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 wil bring them downe like lambes to the slaughter, and like rams and goates.
“Anatiekgi ka rombe mitero kar yengʼo, ka imbe kod diek.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and howe is the glory of the whole earth taken! how is Babel 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 is come vp vpon Babel: he is couered with the multitude of the waues thereof.
Nam nogingre kuom Babulon; apakane mawuo noume.
43 Her cities are desolate: the land is dry and a wildernes, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth the sonne of man passe thereby.
Miech jo-Babulon nodongʼ gunda, kama otwo kendo piny motimo ongoro, piny maonge ngʼama odakie, kama onge ngʼama kalo e iye.
44 I wil also visite Bel in Babel, and I wil bring out of his mouth, that which he hath swallowed vp, and the nations shall runne no more vnto him, and the wall of Babel shall 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 out of the middes of her, and deliuer yee euery man his soule from the fierce wrath of the Lord,
“Wuoguru oko uayi kuome, joga! Ringuru ukony ngimau! Ringuru uaye mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye.
46 Least your heart euen faynt, and ye feare the rumour, that shalbe heard in the land: the rumour shall come this yeere, and after that in the other yeere shall come a rumour, and crueltie in the land, and 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 beholde, the dayes come, that I will visite the images of Babel, and the whole land shalbe confounded, and all her slayne shall fall in the middes 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 heauen and the earth, and all that is therein, shall reioyce for Babel: for the destroyers shall come vnto her from the North, saith 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 Babel caused the slaine of Israel to fal, so by Babel the slaine of all the earth did fall.
“Babulon nyaka podhi nikech jo-Israel mane onegi, mana kaka ji duto, mosenegi e piny osepodho nikech Babulon.
50 Ye that haue escaped the sworde, goe away, stand not still: remember the Lord a farre of, and let Ierusalem come into your minde.
Un joma osetonyne ligangla, auru kendo kik ugalru! Paruru Jehova Nyasaye e piny mabor, kendo upar Jerusalem.”
51 Wee are confounded because wee haue heard reproch: shame hath couered our faces, for straungers are come into the Sanctuaries of the Lordes House.
“Ochawa, nimar oseyanywa kendo wichkuot oumo wengewa, nikech joma oa e pinje mamoko osedonjo e kuonde maler mar od Jehova Nyasaye.”
52 Wherefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I will visite her grauen images, and through all her land the wounded shall grone.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To kinde biro, ma anakume nyisechege manono, kendo e pinye mangima joma nigi adhonde nobed gi rem malit.
53 Though Babel should mount vp to heauen, and though shee should defend her strength on hye, yet from mee shall her destroyers come, sayth the Lord.
Kata ka Babulon ochopo e lwasi kendo ger ohingage motegno kuno, to anaor ji mondo okethe,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
54 A sound of a cry commeth from Babel, and great destruction from the land of the Caldeans,
“Ywak winjore koa Babulon, koko mar kethruok maduongʼ, koa e piny jo-Babulon.
55 Because the Lord hath layde Babel waste and destroyed from her the great voyce, and her waues shall roare like great waters, and a sounde was made by their noyse:
Jehova Nyasaye noketh Babulon; nomi koko olingʼ thi. Apaka mag wasigu nowuo ka pige mopongʼ; koko mar dwondgi nowinjre kendo.
56 Because the destroyer is come vpon her, euen vpon Babel, and her strong men are taken, their bowes are broken: for the Lord God that recompenceth, shall surely recompence.
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 make drunke her princes, and her wise men, her dukes, and her nobles, and her strong men: and they shall sleepe a perpetuall sleepe, and not wake, sayth the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.
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 saith the Lord of hostes, The thicke wall of Babel shalbe broken, and her hie gates shall be burnt with fire, and the people shall labour in vaine, and the folke in ye fire, for they shalbe 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 worde which Ieremiah the Prophet commanded Sheraiah the sonne of Neriiah, the sonne of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the King of Iudah into Babel, in the fourth yeere of his reigne: and this Sheraiah was a peaceable prince.
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 So Ieremiah wrote in a booke all the euill that should come vpon Babel: euen al these things, that are written against Babel.
Jeremia nondiko e kitabu kuom masiche duto mano bi kuom Babulon, mago duto mane osendiki kuom Babulon.
61 And Ieremiah sayd to Sheraiah, Whe thou commest vnto Babel, and shalt see, and shalt reade all these wordes,
Nowachone Seraya, “Ka ichopo Babulon, ne ni isomo wechegi mondo owinji.
62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to destroy it, that none should remaine in it, neither man nor beast, but that it should be desolate for euer.
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 thou hast made an ende of reading this booke, thou shalt binde a stone to it, and cast it in the middes of Euphrates,
Ka itieko somo kitabuni, twe kidi kuome kendo idire Yufrate.
64 And shalt say, Thus shall Babel be drowned, and shall not rise from the euil, that I will bring vpon her: and they shall be weary. Thus farre are the wordes of Ieremiah.
Eka iwachi ni, ‘E kaka Babulon nonim ma ok nochak ochungʼ kendo nikech masira ma anakel kuome. Kendo joge nopodhi.’” Weche Jeremia ogik kae.
