< Jeremiah 51 >

1 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin aseiye: “Keiman Babylon mite douna mi sumangpa katil doh ding ahi.”
2 And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall fan her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
Gamchom mite hunguva huisin changpol alhoh manjel bang a, gimna nikhoa amanu doudia jet le veiya kona ahindel khum diu ahi.
3 Let not the archer bend his bow, and let him not lift himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
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 they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
Babylon mite gamsung le lamlen ho-a akithat ho lhuchap ding ahiuve.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land is full of guilt 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 out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
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 hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand; that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
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 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be 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 healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
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 hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
Pakaiyin idihna aphongdoh tai. Hungun, Pakai i-Pathen’u thilbol Zion a seichoi juhite.
11 Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: the LORD hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his device is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it 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 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake concerning 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 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness.
Hiche gamsung’a hin vadung tampi along in. Kiveina manlu tahtah aum e, ahivangin aphat akichaina ahunglhun tai.
14 The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the cankerworm; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
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 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:
Pakai in leiset hi Amathahatna asem ahin, asetlouna dinga achihnaa akoi, ahetchetnaa kona jong Aman van aphajal ahitai.
16 when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
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 Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath 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 vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Hiche milim semthu hochu mohseh, athu aki kholtoh phatteng ule mangthah cheh diu ahi.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and [Israel] is the tribe 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 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
Pakaiyin aseiyin, nangma kagal heicha le chemjam nahin, “Namtin vaipi le lenggam jouse suhmangna kaman nahi.”
21 and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and him that rideth therein;
Chule nangma’a sakolte le achunga toupa kasuh chip ding, kangtalaiho le atolte jong mangthah ding ahi.
22 and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
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 thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke [of oxen]; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and deputies.
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 render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Keima in Jerusalem a kamite chun thilse abol chengseu Babylon mite kale thuhding ahi,” ati.
25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt 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 shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith 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 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough cankerworm.
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 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
Amanu douding namtin vaipi hinpui un, lamkai ding Medes lengte chule a vaihom ho jouse toh,
29 And the land trembleth and is in pain: for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
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 mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strong holds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling places are set on fire; her bars are 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 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:
Thusep khat chu achomto kisuto ding, thangkou khat chu achom khattoh kisuto – a, akhopi chu among khatna konin akilatai ti hil dingin.
32 and the passages are surprised, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
Jam na diu lampi ho akikhah in pumpeng aneihou meiya akihal lhan, sepaite akicha gam tauve.
33 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
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 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his maw with my delicates; he hath 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 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
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 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
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 shall become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and an hissing, without inhabitant.
Chuteng Babylon chu ingem jeng kisechop ding, gamsa chenna soh ding; chule koima chenna hitalouva, gamsa jengseh chenna hiding ahi.
38 They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions’ whelps.
Amaho abonchauvin keipi bahkai hon banga kitum tum diu, sakei noute banga ngih ngih jeng diu ahi.
39 When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith 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 bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-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 is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become a desolation 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 is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
Babylon chu twikhanglen in achup tan, amanu achunga twipi aki deldel e.
43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
Akhopi hochu akam hel in, gamgo, gamthip, mikhat cha chennalou gam, mihem chapa khatchan ajotpa louhel asoh tai.
44 And I will do judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall 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 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger 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 And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall come] a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against 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 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be ashamed; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
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 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith 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 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
Babylon in Israel mite athagam banga, chuleh leiset pumpi kitha gam jeh a amanu lhu a ahitai.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go ye, stand not still; remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
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 are ashamed, because we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house.
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 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images; and through all her land the wounded shall 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 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith 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 The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Babylon awgin kithong leh Chaldea mite gam'a manthahna awgin akithong e.
55 For the LORD spoileth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is uttered:
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 spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces: for the LORD is a God of recompences, he shall surely requite.
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 make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
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 saith the LORD of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labour for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, Babylon in pal nasatah akai chu tollham a
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
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 a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning 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 thou comest to Babylon, then see that thou 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 and say, O LORD, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
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 it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
Hiche lekha hi nasim chai teng songkhat toh nakan beh ding, hichu vadung lailunga nase lut ding ahi.
64 and thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
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.
