Jeremiah 50

1 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik ke siti Babylon ac mwet we:

The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.

2 “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!

"Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and do not conceal: say, 'Babylon is taken, Bel is disappointed, Marduk is dismayed; her images are disappointed, her idols are dismayed.

3 “Sie mutunfacl epang me mweuni Babylonia, ac akmwesisyela. Wangin ma fin acn we. Mwet, ac ma orakrak, ac fah kaingelik liki acn we.”

For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it: they are fled, they are gone, both man and animal.

4 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke pacl sac ac tuku, kewana mwet Israel ac mwet Judah fah tung na tuku in sukyu, God lalos.

In those days, and in that time,' says the LORD, 'the children of Israel shall come, they and the people of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek the LORD their God.

5 Elos ac siyuk inkanek nu Zion, na elos ac ut we. Elos ac oru sie wulela kawil yuruk, ac elos fah tiana kunausla.

They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.

6 “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.

My people have 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.

7 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.’

All who found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, "We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of righteousness, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers."

8 “Mwet Israel, kowos in kaing liki Babylonia! Som liki facl sac! Oru in kowos pa som liki acn we emeet

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.

9 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.

For, look, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken. Their arrows shall be like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.

10 Babylonia ac fah wapiyukla, ac elos su usla ma we fah usla ma nukewa elos lungse. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

Chaldea shall be a prey: all who prey on her shall be satisfied,' says the LORD.'

11 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,

Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses;

12 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.

your mother shall be utterly disappointed; she who bore you shall be confounded: look, she shall be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

13 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.

Because of the wrath of the LORD she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: everyone who goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

14 “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.

"Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.

15 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.

Shout against her all around: she has submitted herself; her towers are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.

16 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.”

Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone to his own land."'

17 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.

'Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.

18 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.

Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.

19 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.

I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.

20 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.”

In those days, and in that time, says 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."'"

21 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.

"Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: kill and utterly destroy after them," says the LORD, "and do according to all that I have commanded you.

22 Kusen mweun lohngyuk in facl sac, ac oasr mwe ongoiya lulap.

A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

23 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.

How is the hammer of the whole earth cut apart and broken. How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations.

24 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.

I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren't aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.

25 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.

The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, the LORD of hosts, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.

26 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!

Come against her from the utmost border; open her storehouses; cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.

27 Uniya mwet mweun lal nukewa! Pakelosi! We nu sin mwet Babylonia! Pa inge pacl in kalya nu selos!” (

Kill all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, their day has come, the time of their visitation."

28 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.)

The voice of those who 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.

29 “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.

"Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow; camp against her all around; let none of it escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

30 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.

Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all her men of war will be brought to silence in that day," says the LORD.

31 “Mwet Babylonia, yoklana filang lowos. Ke ma inge nga, LEUM GOD Fulat lana ac Kulana, lain kowos! Pacl fal luk in kalyei kowos.

"Look, I am against you, you proud one," says the LORD of hosts; for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.

32 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.”

The proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all who are around him."

33 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Elos nukewa su akkeokye mwet Israel ac mwet Judah elos liksreni taranulos ac tia fuhlelosla in som.

Thus says the LORD of hosts: "The children of Israel and the people of Judah are oppressed together; and all who took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.

34 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.”

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.

35 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Babylonia in misa! Mwet nukewa we in misa — Mwet leum lalos oayapa mwet lalmwetmet lalos.

A sword is on the Chaldeans," says the LORD, "and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her officials, and on her wise men.

36 Mwet palu kikiap lalos in misa — Elos arulana lalfon! Mwet mweun lalos in misa — Elos arulana tuninfongla!

A sword is on the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is on her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.

37 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.

A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on her treasures, and they shall be robbed.

38 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.

A drought is on her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they glory over idols.

39 “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.

Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell in it: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be lived in from generation to generation.

40 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.

As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it," says the LORD, "so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."

41 “Oasr mwet ac fah tuku liki sie facl epang, Sie mutunfacl kulana yen loessula; Tokosra puspis akola in mweun.

"Look, a people comes from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

42 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.

They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.

43 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.

The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.

44 “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?

Look, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who can stand before me?"

45 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.

Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: "Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

46 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.”

At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations."
