Jeremiah 51
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru sie eng upa in tuhyak ac kunausla acn Babylonia ac mwet we.
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb, My withstanders, 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 have sent fanners to Babylon, And they have fanned her, and they empty her land, For they have been against her, All around—in the day of evil.
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!
Do not let the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have pity on her young men, Devote all her host to destruction.
4 Elos ac fah kineta ac misa ke inkanek in siti selos.
And the wounded have fallen in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-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 and Judah are not forsaken By his God—by YHWH of Hosts, For their land has been 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 from the midst of Babylon, And let each deliver his soul, Do not be cut off in her iniquity, For it [is] a time of vengeance for YHWH—His, He is rendering repayment to her.
7 Babylonia el tuh oana sie cup gold inpouk, ac oru tuh faclu nufon sruhila. Mutunfacl pus numla wain nimal ac wella.
Babylon [is] a golden cup in the hand of YHWH, Making all the earth drunk, Nations have drunk of her wine, Therefore nations boast themselves.
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 has suddenly fallen, Indeed, she is broken, howl for her, Take balm for her pain, perhaps 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 healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For her judgment has come to the heavens, And it has been lifted up to the clouds.
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!”’
YHWH has brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of our God YHWH.
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!
Cleanse the arrows, fill the shields, YHWH has stirred up the spirit of the kings of Media, For His purpose [is] against Babylon to destroy her, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, 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 an ensign to the walls of Babylon, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For YHWH has both devised and done that which He spoke, Concerning 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.
O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Your end has come—the measure of your dishonest gain.
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.
YHWH of Hosts has sworn by Himself, That, Surely I have filled you [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against you—shouting.
15 LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke ku lal; El oakiya faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ac El asroelik kusrao ke etu lal.
Making [the] earth by His power, Establishing [the] world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
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.
At the voice He gives forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And He brings out wind from 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 has been brutish by knowledge, Everyone has been put to shame—from refining a carved 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 errors, They perish in the time of their inspection.
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 these, For He is forming the whole, And [Israel is] the tribe of His inheritance, YHWH 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.
You [are] My shatterer—weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces nations by you, And I have destroyed kingdoms by you,
21 Keim nga kunausla horse ac mwet kasrusr fac, Nga kunausla chariot ac mwet kasrusr fac.
And I have broken in pieces horse and its rider by you, And I have broken in pieces chariot and its charioteer by you,
22 Keim nga uniya mukul ac mutan, Nga akmuseya mwet matu ac mwet fusr, Nga uniya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
And I have broken in pieces man and woman by you, And I have broken in pieces old and young by you, And I have broken in pieces young man and virgin by you,
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 I have broken in pieces shepherd and his drove by you, And I have broken in pieces farmer and his team by you, And I have broken in pieces governors and prefects by you.
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 have repaid to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes,” a declaration of YHWH.
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 you, O destroying mountain,” A declaration of YHWH, “That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against you, And I have rolled you from the rocks, And given you for a burnt 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 do not take out of you a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For you are continuous desolations,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 an ensign in the land, Blow a horn among nations, Sanctify nations against it, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint an infant head against it, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
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.
Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its 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 shakes, and it is pained, For the purposes of YHWH have stood against Babylon, 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 of Babylon have ceased to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Their might has failed, they have become [as] women, They have burned her dwelling places, Her bars have been broken.
31 Mwet utuk kas uh kasrusr atutafi ke pweng nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia, lah acn nukewa ke siti sel uh musalsalu.
Runner runs to meet runner, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For his city has been captured—at the extremity.
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 have been captured, And they have burned the reeds with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing—yet a little [while], And the time of her harvest has come.
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.
Devoured us, crushed us, has Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, He has set us [as] an empty vessel, He has swallowed us as a dragon, He has filled his belly with my delicacies, He has driven us away.
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!”
My wrong, and [that of] my flesh, [is] on Babylon—The inhabitant of Zion says; And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea—Jerusalem says.
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 said YHWH: Behold, I am pleading your cause, And I have avenged your vengeance, And dried up her sea, and made her fountains 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 has been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Mwet Babylonia nukewa ngutngut oana lion, ac kou oana lion fusr.
They roar together as young lions, They have shaken themselves 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.
In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a continuous sleep, And do not awaken,” a declaration of YHWH.
40 Nga fah usalosla in anwuki, oana sheep fusr, nani, ac sheep mukul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
“I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with male 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 Sheshach has been captured, Indeed, the praise of the whole earth is caught, How Babylon has been for an astonishment among nations.
42 Noa ngirngir meoa uh toki nu fin Babylon ac afunla.
The sea has come up over Babylon, She has been covered with a multitude of its billows.
43 Inkul ma apkuran nu we sikiyukla acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet muta we ku forfor we.
Her cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land—none dwell in them, Nor does a son of man pass over into them.
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 have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed—from his mouth, And nations no longer flow to him, Also the wall of Babylon has fallen.
45 Mwet Israel, kaing liki acn ingan! Kaing tuh kowos in moulla liki kasrkusrak lulap luk.
Go forth from her midst, O My people, And let each deliver his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH,
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.
And lest your heart be tender, And you are afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And the report has come in [one] year, And after it [another] report in [another] year, And violence [is] in the land, 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, And I have seen after the carved images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones fall in its midst.
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 heavens and earth and all that [is] in them Have cried aloud against Babylon, For the spoilers come to her from the north,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 [has caused the] pierced of Israel to fall, So they of Babylon have fallen, You pierced 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.
You escaped of the sword, go on, do not stand, Remember YHWH from afar, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
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 have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Shame has covered our faces, For strangers have come in against the sanctuaries of the house of YHWH.
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 are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have seen after her carved images, And the wounded groan in all her land.
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.”
Because Babylon goes up to the heavens, And because she fortifies the high place of her strength, Spoilers come into her from Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
54 Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Lohng pusren tung in Babylon, Pusren mwemelil ke sripen sikiyukla facl sac.
“A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
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 YHWH is spoiling Babylon, And has destroyed her great voice, And her billows have sounded as many waters, Their voice has given forth a noise.
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 a spoiler has come in against her—against Babylon, And her mighty ones have been captured, Their bows have been broken, For the God of recompenses—YHWH—certainly repays.
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 have caused her princes to drink, And her wise men, her governors, And her prefects, and her mighty ones, And they have slept a continuous sleep, And they do not awaken—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: The wall of Babylon—The broad one—is made utterly bare, And her high gates are burned with fire, And peoples labor in vain, And nations in fire, and have been 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 has commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign—and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;
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 writes all the calamity that comes to Babylon on one scroll—all these words that are written concerning 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 says to Seraiah, “When you enter Babylon, then you have seen, and have 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 have said: YHWH, You have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even to livestock, for it is a continuous desolation.
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 has come to pass, when you finish reading this scroll, you bind a stone to it, and have 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 said, Thus Babylon sinks, and she does not arise, because of the calamity that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.” Until now [are the] words of Jeremiah.
