Jeremiah 51
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru sie eng upa in tuhyak ac kunausla acn Babylonia ac mwet we.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind;
2 Nga ac supwala mwetsac in kunausla acn Babylonia, oana ke eng uh okla kulun wheat uh. Ke len in ongoiya sac, un mwet mweun ac tuku yen nukewa me, ac usla koanon acn we.
and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
3 Nikmet sang pacl lun mwet mweun Babylonia in pisrik mwe pisr natulos, ku in nokomang nuknuk in mweun lalos. Sukela mwet mweun nukewa we — mwet fusr ac mwet matu!
Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail; and spare not her young men: destroy utterly all her host.
4 Elos ac fah kineta ac misa ke inkanek in siti selos.
And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5 Oasr mwatan mwet Israel ac Judah ke elos nukewa tuh orekma koluk lainyu, Nga Su Mutallana lun Israel. Ne ouinge, nga LEUM GOD Kulana tiana som lukelos.
For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Kaingla liki Babylonia! Kaing tuh kowos in moul. Nimet oru kowos in misa ke sripen ma koluk lun mwet Babylonia, mweyen nga fah oru foloksak luk inge, ac kalyaelos fal nu ke orekma koluk lalos.
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence.
7 Babylonia el tuh oana sie cup gold inpouk, ac oru tuh faclu nufon sruhila. Mutunfacl pus numla wain nimal ac wella.
Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.
8 Acn Babylonia sa na ikori ac kunausyukla! Kowos in tung kacl, ac suk ono in unwela kinet kacl. Sahp el ac ku in kwela!
Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9 Mwetsac su muta we elos fahk, ‘Kut tuh srike in kasru acn Babylonia, tusruktu arulana pahtlac. Tari kut folokla nu yen sesr. God El kalyei Babylonia ke ku lal nufon, ac sukela acn we.”’
We have treated Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.
10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet luk elos wowoyak ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD El fahkak lah kut pa suwohs uh. Lela kut in som ac fahk nu sin mwet Jerusalem ma LEUM GOD lasr El orala!”’
Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
11 LEUM GOD El purakak tokosra lun Media, mweyen El nunku Elan kunaus acn Babylonia. Pa ingan ma El ac oru in folokin musalla lun Tempul lal. Mwet kol lun un mwet mweun uh sapkin, “Kowos tamla mwe pisr nutuwos an! Akola mwe loang lowos!
Sharpen the arrows; take the shields. Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for this is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Kolak sie flag in akkalemye lah pacl in mweuni pot Babylon. Akpusyela mwet san! Oakiya kais sie u nu yen elos ac karingin. Supwala mwet in wikwik soano mwet lokoalok. LEUM GOD El orala ma El fahk mu El ac oru nu sin mwet Babylonia.
Lift up a banner towards the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Pukanten infacl ac mwe kasrup in facl sac, tusruktu sun pacl in safla lal. Moul lun Babylonia ac wutiyukla na pwaye.
Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
14 LEUM GOD Kulana El fulahk ke moul lal sifacna mu El fah use mwet puspis in mweuni acn Babylonia oana sie u in locust, ac elos fah sasa ke kutangla lalos.
Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, I will assuredly fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
15 LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke ku lal; El oakiya faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ac El asroelik kusrao ke etu lal.
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
16 Ke sap lal, kof lucng liki yen engyeng uh ngirngir; El orama pukunyeng uh liki saflaiyen faclu. El oru sarom in sarmelik in af uh Ac supwama eng uh liki nien filma lal.
When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
17 Ke mwet uh liye ma inge, elos akilen lupan lalfon ac nikin lalos sifacna. Elos su oru ma sruloala elos mwekinla, Mweyen god ma elos orala uh tia pwaye ac wangin moul la.
Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 Elos ma lusrongten ac fal in pilesreyuk. Elos ac fah kunausyukla pacl se LEUM GOD El tuku in nununkalos.
They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 God lal Jacob El tia oana ma inge. El pa orala ma nukewa, Ac El sulela mwet Israel elos in mwet lal. Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and [Israel] is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
20 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Babylonia, kom hammer nutik, kufwen mwe mweun nutik. Nga orekmakin kom in tuktukya mutunfacl ac tokosrai.
Thou art my maul, [my] weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;
21 Keim nga kunausla horse ac mwet kasrusr fac, Nga kunausla chariot ac mwet kasrusr fac.
and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and its driver;
22 Keim nga uniya mukul ac mutan, Nga akmuseya mwet matu ac mwet fusr, Nga uniya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 Keim nga onela mwet shepherd ac un kosro natulos, Nga onela pac mwet ima ac ox natulos. Keim nga tuktukya mwet kol fulat ac mwet pwapa fulat.”
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 rulers.
24 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos fah liye ke nga ac oru foloksak nu sin Babylonia ac mwet we ke orekma koluk nukewa elos oru nu sin Jerusalem.
And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, in your sight, all their evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
25 Babylonia, kom oana soko fineol ma kunausla faclu nufon, tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, lain kom. Nga fah sruokkomi, aktupasrpasryekomla, ac filikomla in oan apatla.
Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burning mountain.
26 Wangin eot ke mahnum sum fah sifil orekmakinyuk nu ke musa lohm. Kom ac fah oana sie acn mwesis nwe tok. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
27 “Kolak sie mwe akul ac ukya mwe ukuk tuh mutunfacl uh in lohng lah pacl in mweun! Akoela mutunfacl uh in mweun lain Babylonia! Pangoneni tokosrai lun Ararat, Minni, ac Ashkenaz elos in sroang wi mweun. Srisrngia sie mwet fulat in kol mweun an. Use horse uh in pukanten oana un locust.
Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
28 Akola mutunfaclu in mweun lain Babylonia. Sapla nu sin tokosra lun acn Media, wi mwet kol ac mwet fulat lalos, ac un mwet mweun lun facl nukewa elos leumi.
Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
29 Faclu kusrusr ac rarrar mweyen LEUM GOD El akfahsrye pwapa lal in oru Babylonia in sie acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet fah muta we.
And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
30 Mwet mweun watwen lun acn Babylonia elos tia illa in mweun, a elos mutana in pot ku lalos. Wanginla pulaik lalos ac elos sangeng oana mutan uh. Mwet lokoalok elos fukulya mutunpot lun siti uh ac furreak lohm we.
The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they are sitting in the fortresses; their might hath failed, they are become as women: they have set her dwelling places on fire; her bars are broken.
31 Mwet utuk kas uh kasrusr atutafi ke pweng nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia, lah acn nukewa ke siti sel uh musalsalu.
Courier runneth to meet courier, and messenger to meet messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city is taken from end to end;
32 Mwet lokoalok elos sruokya acn in tupalla infacl uh, ac esukak pot ku nukewa lun acn we. Mwet mweun lun Babylonia elos arulana tuninfongla.
and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 Ac tia paht mwet lokoalok lalos fah pakelosi ac fotongolosi oana wheat ke acn in kulkul wheat. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, pa fahk ma inge.”
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time of its being trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
34 Tokosra lun Babylonia el sipsipikya Jerusalem Ac kangla. El okoala koanon siti sac oana sufa soko; El okomla acn we oana soko kosro lulap sulallal. El kangla ma el lungse kac Ac filakunla ma ngia.
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 belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
35 Lela mwet Zion uh in fahk, “Mwatan orekma sulallal ma tuh orek nu sesr In oan fin Babylonia!” Lela mwet Jerusalem in fahk, “Mwatan mwe keok nukewa ma orek nu sesr In oan fin Babylonia!”
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
36 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Jerusalem, “Nga fah aol kowos in kwafe keiwos, ac orek foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok lowos ke ma elos tuh oru nu suwos. Nga fah oru in wanginla kof in acn Babylonia, ac infacl nukewa we in mihnla.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
37 Facl sac fah ekla sie yol in kutkut, yen kosro lemnak mukena muta we. Wangin mwet ac fah muta we, ac mwet nukewa su liye facl sac ac fah fwefela ac arulana sangeng.
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Mwet Babylonia nukewa ngutngut oana lion, ac kou oana lion fusr.
They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
39 Ya elos kainmongo? Nga fah akoo sie kufwa nu selos ac oru elos in sruhila ac engan. Na elos ac motulla ac fah tia sifil ngutalik.
When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
40 Nga fah usalosla in anwuki, oana sheep fusr, nani, ac sheep mukul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
41 LEUM GOD El fahk ke acn Babylon: “Siti se ma faclu nufon tuh kaksakin, inge kutangyukla, ac ekla sie acn arulana mwe aksangeng nu sin mutunfaclu in liye.
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 Noa ngirngir meoa uh toki nu fin Babylon ac afunla.
The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 Inkul ma apkuran nu we sikiyukla acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet muta we ku forfor we.
Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.
44 Nga fah kael Bel, god lun Babylonia, ac eisla liki inwalul ma nukewa ma el ukumya. Mutunfacl uh ac fah tia sifilpa alu nu sel. “Pot lun acn Babylon mokukla.
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon is fallen.
45 Mwet Israel, kaing liki acn ingan! Kaing tuh kowos in moulla liki kasrkusrak lulap luk.
Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
46 Nimet fuhleak finsrak lowos ku sangeng ke sramsram lusrongten kowos lohng. Yac nukewa oasr sramsram lusrongten ac fwackelik, ke mwet sulallal in facl suwos, ac ke sie tokosra lain sie pac tokosra.
lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come [one] year, and after that a rumour in [another] year, and violence in the earth, ruler against ruler.
47 Ke ma inge pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga ac oru ma nga akoo in oru nu ke ma sruloala lun Babylonia. Mutunfacl sac nufon ac fah akmwekinyeyuk, ac mwet we nukewa ac fah anwuki.
Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Ma nukewa fin faclu ac yen engyeng uh fah sasa ke engan pacl se Babylonia putatyang nu inpoun mwet su tuku epang me in kunausulla.
And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.
49 Acn Babylonia ac fah ikori mweyen el uniya mwet puspis fin faclu, ac oayapa uniya mwet puspis sin mwet Israel. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal in acn Babylonia: “Kowos su kaingla liki misa, kowos som! Nimet soano! Kowos finne muta loesla liki acn suwos, nunku keik, LEUM GOD lowos, ac esam acn Jerusalem.
Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 Kowos fahk mu, ‘Kut mwekinla ac tonongla, ac pula mu wangin ma kut ku in oru, mweyen mwet in mutunfacl saya elos utyak ac aktaekyela acn mutal in Tempul.’
— We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our face: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
52 Ke ma inge, nga fahk mu oasr pacl se ac tuku ke nga ac oru ma nga akoo in oru nu ke ma sruloala lun Babylonia, ac mwet kinet uh ac sasao yen nukewa fin facl sac.
— Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Babylon finne ku in fanyak nu yen engyeng uh ac musai sie pot ku we, nga ac nuna supwala mwet in kunausla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
54 Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Lohng pusren tung in Babylon, Pusren mwemelil ke sripen sikiyukla facl sac.
The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
55 Inge nga kunausla acn Babylon Ac oru in wanginla pusracl. Fwilin mwet mweun uh sasak nu we oana fwilin noa. Elos sasa ke elos mweuni acn we.
for Jehovah spoileth Babylon, and he will destroy out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice resoundeth.
56 Elos tuku in kunausla Babylon. Mwet mweun we sruoh, Ac mwe pisr natulos kotkot uh. Nga sie God su kai mwet su orekma koluk, Ac nga fah folokin nu sin Babylon fal nu ke ma el orala.
For the spoiler is come against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken; their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the God of recompences, will certainly requite.
57 Nga fah oru mwet fulat we in sruhila — Mwet lalmwetmet, mwet kol, ac mwet mweun. Elos ac motulla ac tia sifil ngutalik. Nga, tokosra, pa fahk ma inge. Nga LEUM GOD Kulana.
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
58 Pot sralap lun Babylon ac fah rakinyuki nu infohk uh, Ac mutunpot fulat we isisyak. Kemkatu lun mutunfacl puspis wangin sripa; Orekma upa lalos firiryak. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; so that the peoples will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fire: and they shall be weary.
59 Seraiah, mwet tutaf lal Tokosra Zedekiah, el wen natul Neriah ac nutin natul Mahseiah. In yac se akakosr ma Zedekiah el tokosra lun Judah, Seraiah el tuh welul som nu Babylonia, ac nga tuh sapkin ma elan oru.
The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Nerijah, 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.
60 Nga simusla in book se ma nukewa ma ac sikyak ke ac kunanula acn Babylonia, oayapa mwe fahkak puspis saya ke acn we.
And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 Nga fahk nu sel Seraiah, “Pacl se kom ac sun acn Babylon, aklohya riti ma nukewa simla in book se inge mwet uh in lohng.
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
62 Toko kom pre ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD, kom fahk mu kom ac kunausla acn se inge tuh in wangin kutena ma moul muta fac, tia mwet ku ma orakrak, a ac fah oana sie acn mwesis nwe tok.’
and say, Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, that thou wilt cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63 Seraiah, kom fin riti book se inge nu sin mwet uh nwe safla, na kom kapriya nu ke sie eot an, ac sisla nu Infacl Euphrates,
And it shall be, when thou hast ended reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
64 ac fahk, ‘Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu sin Babylonia — el ac tili ac tia sifil otyak ke sripen kunausten lulap su LEUM GOD El ac oru nu sin acn we.”’ Kas lal Jeremiah safla inse.
and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, because of the evil that I will bring upon it: and they shall be weary. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
