Jeremiah 51
1 The LORD says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hetsefeko amy Bavele naho amo mpimone’ i Leb-Kanaio ty kofom-pijoy.
2 I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her. They will empty her land; for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
Le hañitrifako ty ambahiny hanongañe aze, naho hampikapaike i tane’ey; fa hiarikoboñe hiatreatre aze iereo amy andron-kankà’ey.
3 Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow, also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. Don’t spare her young men! Utterly destroy all her army!
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 They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
hitsingoro an-tane’ o nte Kasdio, ie tinombok’ an-dala’iareo eo.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by the LORD of Armies; though their land is full of guilt 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 out of the middle of Babylon! Everyone save his own life! Don’t be cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of the LORD’s vengeance. He will render to her a recompense.
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 has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, who made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
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 has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may be healed.
Nideboñe ami’ty manao zao ty Bavele, rotsake! angololoiho! Añendeso aoly o fangirifiri’eo, hera hahasarik’ aze.
9 “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgement reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
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 ‘The LORD has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.’
Fa nihenefa’ Iehovà ty fañavantañañe anay; antao hitalily e Tsione ao ty fitoloña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
11 “Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance 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 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke 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 who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
O mpiambesatse añ’ olon-drano maro, am-bara tsifotofotoo, fa tsatoke ty figadoña’o, ty fizehem-pikatramoa’o.
14 The LORD of Armies has sworn by himself, saying, ‘Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they will lift up a shout 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 has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has 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 utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
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 stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image, for his molten images are falsehood, and there is no breath 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 vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
Hakoafañe iereo, satam-pamerevere; ie ho mongotse ami’ty andro fandilovañe iareo.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies 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 battle axe and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.
Ihe ro dodako naho fialiañ’ aliko, ie rekets’Azo le hampagomokomoheko ty fifelehañe naho hampikimokimoheko ty fifeheañe.
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.
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 break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein. With you I will break in pieces man and woman. With you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth. With you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin.
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 break in pieces the shepherd and his flock. With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke. With you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
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 “I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says the LORD.
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 “Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says the LORD, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt 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 They won’t take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says the LORD.
Le tsy hangala’ iareo ama’o ty vato-kotsoke, ndra ty vato hanoeñe manantañe; fa hangoakoake kitro-katroke, hoe t’Iehovà.
27 “Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet amongst 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 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 against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
Ambaho ho ama’e o fifeheañeo, o mpanjaka’ o nte-Madaio, o mpifele’eo, o sorotà’eo, reketse ze hene tane fehe’e.
29 The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without 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 mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire. Her bars 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 One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
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 passages are seized. They have burnt the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”
fa tinambozòtse o fitsahañeo, fa finorototo o vindao, vaho vorombeloñe o lahin-defoñeo.
33 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “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 comes for 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 the king of Babylon has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has, like a monster, swallowed me up. He has filled his mouth with my delicacies. He has cast 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 May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!” the inhabitant of Zion will say; and, “May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!” will Jerusalem say.
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 the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain 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, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Hanoeñe votre t’i Bavele, lakatom-panaloke, halatsañe naho fikosihañe, tsy amam-pitoetse.
38 They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ cubs.
Hañaolo hoe liona tora’e iereo; hitromoroñe hoe ana-diona mena.
39 When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the LORD.
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 bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
Hampiambanèko hoe anak’ añondry ho lentañe, hoe añondrilahy naho oselahy.
41 “How Sheshach is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation amongst 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 on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its 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 desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.
Fa mangoakoake o rova’eo, kànkañe i taney naho liolio, tane tsy imoneña’ ondaty, tsy irangà’ ty ana’ ondaty.
44 I will execute judgement on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall 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 “My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce anger.
O ry ondatikoo, mandripaha boak’ama’e ao, mipolitira, songa ondaty mirombaha-piaiñe, ami’ty haviñera’ Iehovà miforoforo.
46 Don’t let your heart faint. Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land. For news will come one year, and after that in another year news will come, and violence in the land, ruler 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 behold, the days come that I will execute judgement on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
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 therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says the LORD.
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 caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
Eka, hikorovoke t’i Bavele ty amo tinomboke e Israeleo, toe nideboñe ty amy Bavele o nihomak’ amy tane iabiio.
50 You who have escaped the sword, go! Don’t stand still! Remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your 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 confounded because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.”
Salatse zahay fa nahatsanoñ’ inje, manafotse ty tarehe’ay ty hameñarañe; amy te nimoahan’ ambahiny ty toe-masin’ anjomba’ Iehovà.
52 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will execute judgement on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
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 Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says the LORD.
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 “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Inay ty koeake boak’e Bavele, naho ty harotsahañe jabajaba hirik’an-tane’ o nte-Kasdioo!
55 For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.
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 destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.
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 I will make her princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
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 The LORD of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burnt with fire. The peoples will labour for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
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 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 quartermaster.
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 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning 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 come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
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 and say, ‘LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that 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 It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast 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 Then you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
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.
