Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik ke siti Babylon ac mwet we:
2 Declare ye among the nations and announce, and set up a standard; announce, and conceal not; say: 'Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.'
“Fahkelik pweng se inge nu sin mutunfacl uh! Sulkakinelik! Tulokunak sie mwe akul in sulkakin pweng uh Ac tia okanla! Itukla tari acn Babylon! Bel, god lun acn we, lipikyuki, Ma sruloala lun Babylon akmwekinyeyuk; Ma sruloala orekla in lumahl fukulyuki!
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein; they are fled, they are gone, both man and beast.
“Sie mutunfacl epang me mweuni Babylonia, ac akmwesisyela. Wangin ma fin acn we. Mwet, ac ma orakrak, ac fah kaingelik liki acn we.”
4 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek the LORD their God.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, kewana mwet Israel ac mwet Judah fah tung na tuku in sukyu, God lalos.
5 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces hitherward: 'Come ye, and join yourselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.'
Elos ac siyuk inkanek nu Zion, na elos ac ut we. Elos ac oru sie wulela kawil yuruk, ac elos fah tiana kunausla.
6 My people hath been lost sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting-place.
“Mwet luk elos oana sheep ma mwet shepherd lalos fuhlela elos tuhlac fineol uh. Elos foroht forma inmasrlon eol uh oana sheep ma nukanla acn selos.
7 All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said: 'We are not guilty'; because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
Mwet nukewa su liyalos elos onelosi. Mwet lokoalok lalos fahk, ‘Elos orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ouinge wangin mwatasr ke ma kut oru inge. Mwet matu lalos tuh lulalfongi in LEUM GOD, ac fal na elos in inse pwaye pac nu sel.’
8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
“Mwet Israel, kowos in kaing liki Babylonia! Som liki facl sac! Oru in kowos pa som liki acn we emeet
9 For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her, from thence she shall be taken; their arrows shall be as of a mighty man that maketh childless; none shall return in vain.
Nga ac purakak sie u in mutunfacl na ku in acn epang, ac oru elos in mweuni Babylonia. Elos ac fah takla mweun lainul ac kutangulla. Elos mwet mweun su pisrla oana mwet sruh kosro, ac mwe pisr natulos uh tia wi oalla liki ma elos pisrik uh.
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil; all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
Babylonia ac fah wapiyukla, ac elos su usla ma we fah usla ma nukewa elos lungse. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
11 Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder My heritage, because ye gambol as a heifer at grass, and neigh as strong horses;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Babylonia, kowos tuh utyak, kunausla ac pisrala ma lun mwet in mutunfacl sik. Kowos engan ac insewowo — kowos forfor oana soko cow mutan ma lolongya kulun wheat, ku sasa oana soko horse,
12 Your mother shall be sore ashamed, she that bore you shall be confounded; behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
tusruktu siti fulat suwos, su oana sie nina nu suwos, ac fah aklusrongtenyeyuk ac akmwekinyeyuk. Babylonia ac fah mutunfacl se ma pilasr oemeet inmasrlon mutunfacl uh. Facl suwos ac fah ekla sie acn mwesis su wangin kof we.
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; every one that goeth by Babylon shall be appalled and hiss at all her plagues.
Ke sripen kasrkusrak luk, wangin sie mwet ac fah muta Babylon — ac fah filiyuki in oanna musalla, ac elos nukewa su fahsryak we ac fah lut ac fwefela kac.
14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows; for she hath sinned against the LORD.
“Mwet pisr, kowos takla in mweun lain Babylon ac kuhlasulak. Pusrukla kewa mwe pisr nutuwos an nu Babylon, mweyen el orekma koluk lainyu, LEUM GOD.
15 Shout against her round about, she hath submitted herself; her buttresses are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
Wowoyak ke pusren kutangla, ac rauneak siti uh! Inge Babylon el srasrapo. Pot we fokfoki ac mwet uh utyak nu we ac eisla siti uh. Nga oru foloksak luk nu fin mwet Babylonia. Ouinge oru foloksak lowos nu selos, fal nu ke ma elos oru nu sin mwet saya uh.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest; For fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
Mwetsac nukewa fin acn Babylonia ac fah sangeng sin un mwet mweun ma mweuni acn we, ac elos fah folokla nu yen selos. Nimet lela in oasr pacl in yukwiya ku kosrani in facl sac.”
17 Israel is a scattered sheep, the lions have driven him away; first the king of Assyria hath devoured him, and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel elos oana sheep ma lion uh ukwauk ac akfahsryelik. Elos tuh mweuniyuk meet sin Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, na toko Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el wela srelos.
18 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Ke sripen ma inge, nga LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fah kael Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar ac facl sel, oana ke nga tuh kalyael Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria.
19 And I will bring Israel back to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
Nga fah folokonak mwet Israel nu facl selos. Elos ac fah kang mongo ma kap Fineol Carmel ac in acn Bashan, ac elos fah kang ma nukewa elos lungse ke fokin acn Ephraim ac Gilead.
20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
Ke pacl sacn, wangin ma koluk fah koneyukyak in Israel, ac wangin ma sutuu fah koneyukyak in Judah, mweyen nga ac nunak munas nu sin mwet pu su nga lela in painmoulla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod; waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mweuni mwet Merathaim ac mwet Pekod. Onelosla ac kunauselosla. Oru ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
22 Hark! battle is in the land, and great destruction.
Kusen mweun lohngyuk in facl sac, ac oasr mwe ongoiya lulap.
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
Babylonia el oana sie hammer su tuktukya faclu nufon, ac inge hammer sac arulana musalla. Mutunfacl nukewa elos lut ke ma sikyak nu ke facl sac.
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware; thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
Babylonia, kom tuh mweun lainyu, ac inge kom sremla ke sruhf se ma nga oakiya in srifusrkomi, kom finne tia etu lah kom sremla kac.
25 The LORD hath opened His armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of His indignation; for it is a work that the Lord GOD of hosts hath to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
Nga ikasla acn kufwen mwe mweun luk oan we, ac in kasrkusrak luk, nga tella nu saya mweyen oasr ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulat lana ac Kulana, akoo in oru Babylonia.
26 Come against her from every quarter, open her granaries, cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.
Kowos in tuku liki yen loessula ac mweuni Babylonia, ac fukulya acn in filma yen wheat lal uh oan we! Yolsani ma wap in oana yol in wheat! Kunausla facl sac, ac nimet likiya kutena ma in oan we!
27 Slay all her bullocks, let them go down to the slaughter; woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
Uniya mwet mweun lal nukewa! Pakelosi! We nu sin mwet Babylonia! Pa inge pacl in kalya nu selos!” (
28 Hark! they flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of His temple.
Mwet ma kaingla liki Babylonia in suk moul lalos elos tuku nu Jerusalem ac srumun luman foloksak lun LEUM GOD lasr ke ma mwet Babylonia elos tuh oru nu ke Tempul lal.)
29 Call together the archers against Babylon, all them that bend the bow; encamp against her round about, let none thereof escape; recompense her according to her work, according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been arrogant against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
“Solama mwet pisr nukewa in mweuni Babylon. Supwalik mwet nukewa ma etu orekmakinyen mwe pisr ac sukan pisr. Kulasak siti uh ac nikmet lela kutena mwet in kaingla. Folokonang nu sel ma nukewa ma el tuh orala, ac oru nu sel oana el tuh oru nu sin mwet, mweyen el orek inse fulat lainyu, Nga Su Mutallana lun Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in her broad places, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith the LORD.
Ke ma inge mwet fusr lal ac fah anwuki ke inkanek in siti uh, ac mwet mweun lal nukewa fah anwukla in len sac. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most arrogant, saith the Lord GOD of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will punish thee.
“Mwet Babylonia, yoklana filang lowos. Ke ma inge nga, LEUM GOD Fulat lana ac Kulana, lain kowos! Pacl fal luk in kalyei kowos.
32 And the most arrogant shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him.
Mutunfacl filang suwos fah tukulkul ac ikori, ac wangin mwet ac kasru in tulokinkowosyak. Nga ac fah esukak siti suwos in firiryak, ac ma nukewa we ac fah musalla.”
33 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together; and all that took them captives hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Elos nukewa su akkeokye mwet Israel ac mwet Judah elos liksreni taranulos ac tia fuhlelosla in som.
34 Their Redeemer is strong, the LORD of hosts is His name; He will thoroughly plead their cause, that He may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Tusruktu El su ac molelosla El arulana ku — Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana. El ac tuyak kaclos in loangelos. El fah ase misla nu faclu, a mwe ongoiya nu sin mwet Babylonia.”
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Babylonia in misa! Mwet nukewa we in misa — Mwet leum lalos oayapa mwet lalmwetmet lalos.
36 A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
Mwet palu kikiap lalos in misa — Elos arulana lalfon! Mwet mweun lalos in misa — Elos arulana tuninfongla!
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women; a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
Kunausla horse ac chariot nutin mwet we! Mwet ke mutunfacl saya ma kasrelos in mweun, in wi pac misa — Elos munas oana mutan! Kunausla ac wapi Ma saok lalos.
38 A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad upon things of horror.
Use sie pacl tuhka nu facl selos Ac oru infacl nukewa we in mihnla. Babylonia el sie acn pusla ma sruloala we, Ma aksangengye ac akwelyela mwet uh.
39 Therefore the wild-cats with the jackals shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein; and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
“Ke ma inge Babylon ac fah acn in muta lun kosro lemnak ma muta yen mwesis, oayapa won ma tia nasnas. Ac fah wangin mwet sifil muta we nwe tok.
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
Ma ac sikyak nu sin Babylon inge, pa pacna tuh sikyak nu sin Sodom ac Gomorrah ke nga tuh kunausla acn we, wi inkul nukewa ma oan raunela. Wangin mwet ac sifilpa muta we. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
41 Behold, a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be roused from the uttermost parts of the earth.
“Oasr mwet ac fah tuku liki sie facl epang, Sie mutunfacl kulana yen loessula; Tokosra puspis akola in mweun.
42 They lay hold on bow and spear, they are cruel, and have no compassion; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses; set in array, as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
Elos srukak tari mwe pisr ac cutlass natulos; Elos mwet na sulallal ac wangin pakomuta lalos. Ke elos kasrusr tuku fin horse natulos, Pusren nien horse uh oana ngirngir lun meoa uh. Elos akola in mweuni Babylonia.
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the fame of them, and his hands wax feeble; anguish hath taken hold of him, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Tokosra Babylonia el lohng ke pweng uh Na paol munasla ac el kofla mokle. El fosrngalana ac pulakin ngal, Oana sie mutan akola in isus.
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it, and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it; for who is like Me? and who will appoint Me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?
“Oana ke soko lion ac sasma liki insak matol sisken Infahl Jordan yak nu ke inima folfol insroa, nga fah tuku ac oru mwet Babylonia in sa kaing liki facl selos. Na mwet kol se nga sulela uh ac fah leumi facl sac. Su ku in lumweyuk nu sik? Su pulaik in kisrungyu? Ma ya mwet leum se ac lainyu?
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that He hath taken against Babylon, and His purposes, that He hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the least of the flock shall drag them away, surely their habitation shall be appalled at them.
Ke ma inge, porongo ma nga lumahla in oru lain siti Babylon, ac ma nga akoo in oru nu sin mwet we. Finne tulik natulos ac fah amala, ac mwet nukewa ac fah arulana tuninfongla.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth quaketh, and the cry is heard among the nations.
Pacl se Babylon ac putatla uh, kusa uh ac arulana yohk pwanang faclu nufon kusrusryak, ac pusren tung in tuninfongla lun mwet uh ac fah lohngyuk oe ke mutunfacl loessula.”
