< Jeremiah 51 >

1 “Yahweh says this: See, I am about to stir up a wind of destruction against Babylon and against those who live in Leb Kamai.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hetsefeko amy Bavele naho amo mpimone’ i Leb-Kanaio ty kofom-pijoy.
2 I will send foreigners to Babylon. They will scatter her and devastate her land, for they will come against her from all around on the day of disaster.
Le hañitrifako ty ambahiny hanongañe aze, naho hampikapaike i tane’ey; fa hiarikoboñe hiatreatre aze iereo amy andron-kankà’ey.
3 Do not let the archers bend their bows; do not let them put on armor. Do not spare her young men; set her whole army apart for destruction.
Ko mei’o t’ie hampibitso-pale, naho ty hiongaha’ ty aman-tsarom-by; tsy sisañe o ajalahi’eo, fonga rotsaho o valobohò’eo,
4 For the wounded people will fall in the land of the Chaldeans; those who are killed will fall in her streets.
hitsingoro an-tane’ o nte Kasdio, ie tinombok’ an-dala’iareo eo.
5 For Israel and Judah are not forsaken by their God, by Yahweh of hosts, although their land is filled with offenses committed against the Holy One of Israel.
Fe tsy niramavoin’ Añahare’e, Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’Israele naho Iehodà; ndra te lifo-kakeo aolo’ i Masi’ Israeley i tane’ iareoy.
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon; let each man save himself. Do not perish in her iniquity. For it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance. He will repay all of it to her.
Itribaho ty lay i Bavele ao, songa mandrombaha aiñe, ko mirotsak’ amy fandilovañe azey; fa tondroke ty andron-kaviñera’ Iehovà; hañondroha’e ho valen-kakeo’e.
7 Babylon was a golden cup in the hand of Yahweh that made all the world drunk; nations drank her wine and became insane.
Toe ni-fitovy volamena am-pità’ Iehovà t’i Bavele, hene nampimamoe’e ty tane toy; ninome’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty divai’e, izay ty maha-dereñe iareo.
8 Babylon will fall suddenly and be destroyed. Wail for her! Give her medicine for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
Nideboñe ami’ty manao zao ty Bavele, rotsake! angololoiho! Añendeso aoly o fangirifiri’eo, hera hahasarik’ aze.
9 'We wished to heal Babylon, but she is not healed. Let us all leave her and go away, to our own land. For her guilt reaches up to the heavens; it is piled up to the clouds.
Nañosora’ay famelañe t’i Bavele, f’ie tsy nahajangañe aze, ifario, antao songa himpoly mb’an-tane’e añe; fa mitakatse i likerañey ty fizakañ’aze, toe mionjomb’an-dindiñe añe.
10 Yahweh has declared our innocence. Come, let us tell in Zion the deeds of Yahweh our God.'
Fa nihenefa’ Iehovà ty fañavantañañe anay; antao hitalily e Tsione ao ty fitoloña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
11 Sharpen the arrows and take up the shields. Yahweh is stirring up the spirit of the king of the Medes in a plan to destroy Babylon. This is for Yahweh's vengeance, vengeance for the destruction of his temple.
Sioño o ana-paleo, atsafo o traño’eo, fa nitroboe’ Iehovà ty tro’ o mpanjaka’ i Madaio; fa safiri’e ty mandrotsake i Bavele; ho famalea’ Iehovà, ho fañodrohañe i anjomba’ey.
12 Lift up a banner over Babylon's walls; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the LORD will do what he has said concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
Aonjono viloñe amo kijoli’ i Baveleo, ampaozaro o mpijiloo, atroaro o mpañambeñeo, ampihentseño mpamandroñe; fa naereñerè’ Iehovà naho nihenefa’e i nitsara’e amo mpimone’ i Baveleoy.
13 You people who live by many streams of water, you people who are rich with treasures, your end has come. The thread of your life is now cut short.
O mpiambesatse añ’ olon-drano maro, am-bara tsifotofotoo, fa tsatoke ty figadoña’o, ty fizehem-pikatramoa’o.
14 Yahweh of hosts has sworn by his own life, 'I will fill you with men, like a swarm of locusts, and they will raise a battle cry against you.'
Fa nifanta am-pañova’e t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Toe ho tsitsifeko ondaty mira amo kijejao irehe; ie hipoña-tsabo ama’o.
15 He has made the earth by his power; he set in place the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
I namboatse ty tane toy ami’ty haozara’ey, i nañoreñe ty voatse toy ami’ty hihi’ey, naho nandafike o likerañeo ami’ty hilala’e;
16 When he thunders, there is the roar of waters in the heavens, for he brings up the mist from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for rain and sends out wind from his storehouses.
ie mañotroke i fiarañanaña’ey le mitroñe o rano an-dikerañeo; ampionjone’e boak’añ’olon-tane añe o evoñeo; anoe’e ampiñe i orañey, vaho akare’e amo riha’eo i tiokey.
17 Every man has become ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds, and there is no life in them.
Zoeñe te biby t’indaty tsy aman-kilala; songa salatse ty mpanefe volamena ty amo sare sokire’eo, te vande avao i trinana’ey, mbore tsy mahakofòke.
18 They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish at the time of their punishment.
Hakoafañe iereo, satam-pamerevere; ie ho mongotse ami’ty andro fandilovañe iareo.
19 But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
Tsy manahake izay ty Anjara’ Iakobe, amy te Ie ro Mpamboatse ze he’e, naho ty kobain-dova’e, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e;
20 You are my war hammer, my weapon for battle. With you I will smash nations and destroy kingdoms.
Ihe ro dodako naho fialiañ’ aliko, ie rekets’Azo le hampagomokomoheko ty fifelehañe naho hampikimokimoheko ty fifeheañe.
21 With you I will smash horses and their riders; with you I will smash chariots and their drivers.
Ie ama’o iraho, le andemodemoheko soavala naho i mpiningi’ey, naho ama’o le hampikimokimoheko ty sarete rekets’ i mpijoñe ama’ey;
22 With you I will smash each man and woman; with you I will smash the old and the young. With you I will smash the young men and the virgin girls.
Ie ama’o le hampibaibaieko t’indaty naho ty ampela, naho ama’o le hañimokimoheko ty androanavy naho ty tora’e; vaho ie ama’o le handemoheko ty ajalahy naho ty somondrara.
23 With you I will smash the shepherds and their flocks; with you I will smash the plowmen and their teams. With you I will smash the governors and officials.
Ie ama’o le hampagomokomoheko ty mpiarake naho ty lia-rai’e, ie ama’o le handemoheko ty mpiroake naho o katraka’eo, ie ama’o le hañimokimoheko o mpifeheo rekets’ o sorota’eo.
24 For in your sight I will pay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all of the evil that they did in Zion—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Le hondrohako amy Bavele naho amo hene mpimone’ i Kasdio, ze fonga halò-tsereke nanoe’ iereo e Tsione ao ampahaoniña’o eo, hoe t’Iehovà.
25 See, I am against you, mountain of destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—which destroys the whole earth. I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain.
Inao atreatreko irehe, ry vohitse mandrotsake, hoe t’Iehovà, ty mampianto ty tane toy iaby; le hatora-kitsiko ama’o ty sirako, naho havarimbariko hizotso o tsera-batoo irehe, vaho hanoeko vohitse finorototo.
26 So they will not take from you any stone to construct a building's corner or foundation; for you will become an everlasting devastation—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Le tsy hangala’ iareo ama’o ty vato-kotsoke, ndra ty vato hanoeñe manantañe; fa hangoakoake kitro-katroke, hoe t’Iehovà.
27 Lift up a banner over the earth. Blow the trumpet over the nations. Call the nations to attack her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander to attack her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.
Añonjono viloñe i taney, popoho añivo’ o fifeheañeo ty antsiva, añambaho fifeheañe hiatreatre aze, koiho hifanontone ama’e ty fifehea’ i Ararate, i Miny, naho i Askenaze; tendreo mpiaolo hiatrek’aze; ampionjono mb’eo o soavalao hoe kijeja mifamorohotse.
28 Prepare the nations to attack her: The kings of the Medes and his governors, all of his officials and all the lands under his rule.
Ambaho ho ama’e o fifeheañeo, o mpanjaka’ o nte-Madaio, o mpifele’eo, o sorotà’eo, reketse ze hene tane fehe’e.
29 For the land will shake and be in anguish, since Yahweh's plans continue against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a wasteland where there is no inhabitant.
Aa le manginikinike vaho mañore i taney; amy te mijadoñe o ereñereñ’ arofo’ Iehovà amy Baveleo, te hampangoakoahe’e ty tane’ i Bavele, tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
30 The soldiers in Babylon have stopped fighting; they stay in their strongholds. Their strength has failed; they have become women—her homes are on fire, the bars of her gates are broken.
Malain-kialy o fanalolahi’ i Baveleo; mikonenak’ am-pipalirañe ao; fa milesa ty haozara’ iareo, hoe t’ie rakemba; nampiforeheteñe o akiba’eo, pinozake o sikada’eo.
31 A messenger runs to proclaim to another messenger, and a runner tells another runner to report to the king of Babylon that his city has been taken from end to end.
Milay hifanojo ami’ty mpijilo raike ty raike, naho hifanampe ami’ty ìrake raike ty raike, hitalily amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley te fa tinavañe an-kotso’e valo i rovay;
32 So the fords over the river are seized; the enemy is burning the reed marshes, and Babylon's fighting men are confused.
fa tinambozòtse o fitsahañeo, fa finorototo o vindao, vaho vorombeloñe o lahin-defoñeo.
33 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. It is time to trample her down. In a little while the time of harvest will come to her.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Ho toem-pifofohañe t’i Bavele amy androm-pamofohañey; aniany te ho tendreke ty sam-pitatahañe aze.
34 'Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me, he has driven me into confusion and has made me an empty pot. Like a monster he has swallowed me, he has filled his stomach with my delicious foods, and then he has spit me out.'
Fa nampigedrañ’ahy t’i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka’ i Bavele, dinemo’e iraho, napo’e eo hoe korobo kapaike, nagodra’e an-tsatan-drimo, naatsa’e an-tro’e ao o mafirikoo, vaho sinao’e iraho.
35 The one who lives in Zion will say, 'May the violence done to me and my flesh be on Babylon.' Jerusalem will say, 'May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea.'
Ee te ho amy Bavele ty hekoheko nanoañe ahy naho amo nofokoo, hoe ty asa’ o mpimone’ i Tsioneo; naho ho amo nte-Kasdio ty lioko, hoe t’Ierosalaime.
36 Therefore Yahweh says this: See, I am about to plead your case and bring about vengeance for you. For I will dry up Babylon's waters and make her springs run dry.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Inao! te hañalañalañe ho azo iraho, naho hampañondrohako ty do’e naho ho maiheko i oñe’ey vaho ho riteko i rano’e migoangoañey.
37 Babylon will become heaps of rubble, a den of jackals, a horror, an object of hissing, where there are no inhabitants.
Hanoeñe votre t’i Bavele, lakatom-panaloke, halatsañe naho fikosihañe, tsy amam-pitoetse.
38 The Babylonians will roar together like young lions. They will growl like lion cubs.
Hañaolo hoe liona tora’e iereo; hitromoroñe hoe ana-diona mena.
39 When they become hot with greed, I will make a feast for them; I will make them drunk so they become happy, and then sleep an unending sleep and not wake up—this is Yahweh's declaration—
Ie misolebotse ty drao’iareo, le hazotsoko am’iereo ty takataka; hampimamoeko iereo hitsipoñapoña, naho hirota’e firotse kitro-katroke, vaho tsy hivañoñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
40 I will send them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
Hampiambanèko hoe anak’ añondry ho lentañe, hoe añondrilahy naho oselahy.
41 How Babylon has been captured! So the praise of all the earth is seized. How Babylon has become a ruined place among the nations.
Hete! fa tinavañe ty Sesake, fa nijihetse ty enge’ ty tane bey toy! Akore te fa halatsañe amo fifeheañeo t’i Bavele.
42 The sea has come up over Babylon! She is covered with its roaring waves.
Fa nitroare’ i riakey t’i Bavele, nilipore’ ty fitroatroaha’ o onja’eo.
43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land and a wilderness, a land that no one inhabits, and no human being passes through.
Fa mangoakoake o rova’eo, kànkañe i taney naho liolio, tane tsy imoneña’ ondaty, tsy irangà’ ty ana’ ondaty.
44 So I will punish Bel in Babylon; I will bring out from his mouth what he swallowed, and the nations will no longer flow to him with their offerings. The walls of Babylon will fall.
Toe ho liloveko t’i Bel e Bavele ao, naho hampiakareko am-bava’e ao o nagedra’eo, vaho tsy hikararake mb’ama’e mb’eo ka o fifeheañeo; eka, fa nideboñe ty kijoli’ i Bavele.
45 Go out from her midst, my people. Let each of you save his own life from the fury of my wrath.
O ry ondatikoo, mandripaha boak’ama’e ao, mipolitira, songa ondaty mirombaha-piaiñe, ami’ty haviñera’ Iehovà miforoforo.
46 Do not let your hearts be timid or fear the news that is heard in the land, for the news will come one year. After it in the next year there will be news, and violence will be in the land. Ruler will be against ruler.
Ko ado’o hifatsike o arofo’ areoo, ko irevendreveñe ty amy tolom-bolañe ho janjiñe amy taney; fa ho pok’eo ty talily bokòke ami’ty taoñe raike, le ty tolom-boetse, an-taon-kafa naho ty fandrakarakañe amy taney ie hifandrapake ami’ty mpifeleke ty mpifehe.
47 Therefore, see, days are coming when I will punish the carved idols of Babylon. All of her land will be ashamed, and all of her slaughtered ones will fall in her midst.
Aa le oniño, te ho tondroke ty andro hizakako o sare niatoa’ i Baveleo, naho fonga ho salareñe i tane’ey; vaho hifitafita ama’e ao o aze zinamañeo.
48 Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them will rejoice over Babylon. For destroyers will come for her from the north—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Le hisaboe’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy, naho ze hene am’iereo ao, ty Bavele; fa hiambotraha’ o mpamaoke boak’ avaratseo, hoe t’Iehovà.
49 As Babylon has made the killed of Israel fall, so the killed of all her land will fall in Babylon.
Eka, hikorovoke t’i Bavele ty amo tinomboke e Israeleo, toe nideboñe ty amy Bavele o nihomak’ amy tane iabiio.
50 Survivors of the sword, go away! Do not stay still. Call Yahweh to mind from far away; let Jerusalem come to mind.
Ry nahafipoliotse amy fibaray, mandripaha, ko tambatse ao, tiahio t’Iehovà boak’ an-tsietoitane añe, vaho ampiziliho añ’arofo’ areo ao t’Ierosalaime.
51 We are ashamed, for we have heard insults; reproach has covered our faces, for foreigners have entered the holy places of Yahweh's house.
Salatse zahay fa nahatsanoñ’ inje, manafotse ty tarehe’ay ty hameñarañe; amy te nimoahan’ ambahiny ty toe-masin’ anjomba’ Iehovà.
52 Therefore, see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will punish her carved idols, and the wounded people will groan in all of her land.
Aa le oniño te ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te ho liloveko o sare niatoa’eo; vaho hanitsike i tane’ey ty fitoreova’ o nifereo.
53 For even if Babylon went up to the heavens or fortified her highest fortresses, destroyers would come from me to her—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Ndra te hitoabotse mb’andikerañe ey t’i Bavele, naho hafatrare’e i tambohon-kaozara’ey, mbe hiboak’ amako, hionjoñe mb’ama’e mb’eo o mpampiantoo, hoe t’Iehovà.
54 A shout of distress came from Babylon, a great collapse from the land of the Chaldeans.
Inay ty koeake boak’e Bavele, naho ty harotsahañe jabajaba hirik’an-tane’ o nte-Kasdioo!
55 For Yahweh is destroying Babylon. He is causing her loud voice to perish. Their enemies roar like the waves of many waters; their noise becomes very strong.
Fe hampiantoe’ Iehovà t’i Bavele, naho hajihe’e i fikorahañe ama’ey, ie mitroñe hoe rano mitabohazake o onja’ iareoo, i fipoñafa’ ty fivalitaboaham-peo’iareoy;
56 For the destroyers have come against her—against Babylon!—and her warriors have been captured. Their bows are broken, for Yahweh is the God of vengeance; he will surely carry out this repayment.
Ie mivotrak’ama’e i mpandrotsakey, amy Bavele, naho ho tsepaheñe o fanalolahi’eo, ho tseraheñe o fale’eo; fa Andrianañahare mpamale fate t’Iehovà, toe hene hondroha’e.
57 For I will make her princes, her sages, her officials, and her soldiers drunk, and they will sleep in an unending sleep and never wake up —this is the King's declaration: Yahweh of hosts is his name.
Hampimamoeko o roandria’eo naho o mahihi’eo, o mpifeheo naho o mpifelekeo, vaho o fanalolahio; le hirotse firoroan-kitro-katroke, tsy hivañoñe ka, hoe t’i Mpanjaka, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
58 Yahweh of hosts says this: The thick walls of Babylon will be completely demolished, and her high gates will be burned. Then the peoples coming to her aid will labor uselessly; everything that the nations try to do for her will be burned up.”
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: ho vata’e rotsaheñe o kijoly mateve’ i Baveleo; naho ho forototoe’ ty afo o lalam-bei’e mitiotiotseo; aa le tsi-vara ty fitoloña’ ondatio, vaho afo ty himokora’ o fifeheañeo.
59 This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was a chief officer.
Ty saontsy nafanto’Iirmeà mpitoky amy Seraia ana’ i Nerià, ana’ i Maseia, ie nindre lia amy Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà mbe Bavele mb’eo amy taom-paha-efam-pifehea’ey. (Talèm-pañalankañ’ anjomba t’i Seraia.)
60 For Jeremiah had written in a scroll about all the disaster that was going to come on Babylon—all these words that were written about Babylon.
Fonga sinoki’ Iirmeà am-boke-pelek’ ao o hankàñe hifetsak’ amy Baveleo, o hene entañe sinokitse ty amy Bavele retoañe.
61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you go to Babylon, then you will see and you will read these words aloud.
Hoe t’Iirmeà amy Seraia: Ie loake e Bavele añe irehe le mahaoniña te ho vakie’o am-peo abo o hene tsara zao,
62 Then you will say, 'Yahweh, you yourself have declared that you would destroy this place, and that no man or animal will live in it, and it will be desolate forever.'
le ano ty hoe, Ihe ry Iehovà, ro nitsara ty amy toetse toy, ty hañitoañe aze, tsy ho amam-pañialo, ndra ondaty ndra hare, f’ie hangoakoake nainai’e kitro-katroke.
63 Then when you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates.
Ie vaho migadoñe ty famakiañe ty boke toy, le handrohiza’o vato, vaho hahiriri’o añivo’ i Perate ao;
64 Say, 'Babylon will sink like this. It will not arise because of the disaster that I am sending against it, and they will fall.'” Jeremiah's words end here.
le ano ty hoe: Zao ty hilempora’ i Bavele, tsy hitroatse ka, ty amy hankàñe hafe­tsako ama’e; vaho hitoirañe iereo. Izay ty figadoña’ ty enta’ Iirmeà.
