Jeremiah 51
1 Angraeng mah, Khenah, Babylon hoi a thungah kaom kaminawk to tuk hanah, amrosak thaih takhi to kang thawksak han;
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 takhi hawhhaih paqa to Babylon ah ka patoeh han, anih mah prae to haw ueloe, amrosak boih tih; raihaih tongh na niah a taeng ih kaminawk mah anih to misa ah suem tih.
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 Kalii avak kami loe angmah ih kalii to takoih nasoe, angmah angvaenghaih to angkhuk pacoengah, kaat nasoe; anih ih thendoengnawk to pathlung pae hmah; anih ih misatuh kaminawk to tamit pae boih ah.
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 Hum ih kami loe Khaldian prae ah amtim tih, nihcae to loklamnawk ah thun o tih.
And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5 Prae loe Israel Ciimcai Kaminawk hmaa ah zaehaih hoiah koi, toe angmah ih Sithaw mah Israel hoi Judah to pahnawt ai vop.
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 Babylon vangpui thung hoiah cawn oh! Kami boih a hinghaih pahlong hanah cawn oh! Anih zaehaih pongah amro o hmah; vaihi tue loe Angraeng lu lakhaih tue ah oh baktiah, a nuiah kating ah sah pathok let tih.
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 Babylon loe Angraeng ban ah kaom long pum paquisak thaih, sui boengloeng ah oh; kami congca mah to misurtui to naek o moe, paquih o; to pongah prae kaminawk loe amthu o boih boeh.
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 Babylon loe akra ai ah amtimh moe, amro boeh; anih han qah o haih ah! Ahmaa kana nok pae hanah tasii to la pae oh, to tih nahaeloe ngantui khoe doeh om tih, tiah thuih.
Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9 Angvinnawk mah, Babylon ih ahmaa hoih thai hanah a sak o, toe hoih thai ai; anih to caeh o taak ah, aimah prae ah caeh o boih si boeh; anih lokcaekhaih loe van khoek to phak boeh, tamai ohhaih van khoek to dawh tahang boeh.
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 Angraeng mah aicae toenghaih to sak boeh; angzo oh, aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah sak ih tok to Zion ah thui o si, tiah thuih o.
Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
11 Palaa to kanoe ah taak oh loe, angvaenghaih aphaw to avak oh! Babylon to phraek han koeh pongah, Angraeng mah Medes siangpahrangnawk ih palungthin to pahruek boeh; hae loe Angraeng mah lu lakhaih ah oh moe, a tempul lu lakhaih ah oh.
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 Babylon sipae nuiah kahni to payang oh! Pop parai misa toep kami to suem oh, misa toephaih im to kacakah sah oh loe, imtoep misatuh kaminawk to suem oh; Angraeng loe Babylon tuk hanah takroek ih lok baktih toengah sah tangtang tih.
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 Aw pop parai tui nuiah kaom hmuenmae angraenghaih hoiah khosah kami, na boenghaih atue to angzoh boeh moe, na khithaih qui apethaih atue doeh phak boeh.
Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
14 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw loe angmah hoi angmah lokkamhaih to sak boeh; pop parai pakhu baktiah, kaminawk hoiah kang koisak han; nihcae mah na hang o thui tih.
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 Anih mah long hae thacakhaih hoiah sak; palung a hahaih hoiah long hae caksak moe, a panoekhaih hoiah van hae payuengh tahang.
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 A lok pathok naah, katuen parai tui baktiah van ah atuenh to oh; long boenghaih hoiah tamai to tacawtsak tahang; khotui hoi tangphra to a pueksak moe, angmah ih hmuenmae suekhaih imthung hoiah takhi to tacawtsak.
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 Kaminawk loe angmacae thoemhaih hoiah amthu o boih boeh; sui sahkungnawk loe a sak o ih krangnawk pongah a zat paw o boeh; a sak o ih krang loe a linghaih ah oh moe, anghahhaih takhi doeh tawn o ai.
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 To krangnawk loe azom pui ni; alinghaih hmuen ah ni oh o; nihcae thuitaekhaih ni phak naah loe, to hmuennawk to anghmaa tih.
They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 Jakob ih taham Sithaw loe to hmuennawk hoiah anghmong ai; anih loe hmuen boih sahkung Sithaw ah oh pongah, Israel loe angmah ih qawktoep kami ah oh; anih ih ahmin loe misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah oh.
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 Nang loe misa ka tukhaih caka hoi maiphaw maica ah na oh; nang patohhaih hoiah prae kaminawk to ka khuek moe, nang rang hoiah praenawk to kam rosak;
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 nang hoiah ni hrang hoi a nuiah angthueng kaminawk to ka dueksak moe, nang hoiah ni hrang lakok hoi a nuiah angthueng kami to ka hum han,
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 nang hoiah ni nongpa hoi nongpata to ka hum han, nang hoiah ni nawkta hoi mitong to ka paduek moe, nang hoiah ni thendoeng hoi tangla doeh ka paduek han;
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 nang hoiah ni tuutoepkung hoi tuunawk to ka boh moe, nang hoiah ni lawktawn kami hoi maitaw tae to ka boh han; nang hoiah ni misatuh angraengnawk hoi ukkungnawk to ka hum han.
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 Babylon hoi Khaldian kaminawk mah, Zion ah sak o ih zaehaih pongah, nangcae hma roe ah nihcae to ka thuitaek han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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 Aw long pum phraekung, amrosak thaih mae nang, nang hae misa ah kang suek, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; na nuiah ban ka payangh moe, amngoe hoiah kang palet han, hmai mah kangh ih mae baktiah kang sak han.
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 Im taki ah thling han ih thlung to, nang thung hoiah la mak ai ueloe, im angdoethaih thlung doeh nang thung hoiah la mak ai; nang loe dungzan ah nam ro tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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 Prae thungah kahni payang oh! Prae kaminawk salakah mongkah to ueng oh! Prae kaminawk anih tuk hanah amsak oh, Ararat, Minni hoi Ashkenaz prae kaminawk nawnto angpop oh loe, anih tuk hanah misatuh angraeng maeto qoi oh; ahin kamtaak pakhu angpoeng baktiah hrang angthueng kaminawk to misatuk hanah caeh o sak tahang ah.
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 Prae kaminawk boih mah anih tuk hanah, Medes siangpahrangnawk, misatuh angraengnawk, prae ukkungnawk mah uk ih praenawk boih, amsak o sak ah.
Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
29 Babylon prae loe anghuenh ueloe, palungsethaih om tih; Babylon prae loe kami om ai, amrosak hanah, Angraeng mah sak atimhaih Babylon nuiah phasak tih.
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 Thacak Babylon misatuh kaminawk loe misatukhaih to toengh o sut moe, sipae thungah akuep o boih; nihcae loe thazok o sut boeh; nongpata baktiah ni oh o boeh; anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to hmai hoiah thlaek o moe, thok takraenghaih thingnawk doeh angkhaeh boih boeh.
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 Anih ih vangpui loe lak boeh, tiah Babylon siangpahrang khaeah thuih pae hanah, tamthang thui kami maeto pacoeng maeto khaeah a caeh o moe, patoeh ih kami maeto pacoeng maeto khaeah a cawnh o,
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 loklam to pakaa o khoep moe, sakrungkung baktiah kaom akungnawk ohhaih ahmuen to hmai hoiah thlaek o, misatuh kaminawk doeh zithaih hoiah oh o.
and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Babylon canu loe cang atithaih ahmuen baktiah oh, anih atithaih atue loe phak boeh, akra ai ah anih cang aahhaih atue pha tih boeh, tiah thuih.
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 Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah kai hae ang paaeh moe, ang tit pacoengah, laom kok baktiah ang suek sut; pahui baktiah ang paaeh moe, ka ngan hoiah zok amhah pacoengah, tasa bangah ang pathak sut.
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 Ka nuiah a sak ih athii longhaih to Babylon nuiah om nasoe, tiah Zion kaminawk mah thuih o; Jerusalem mah doeh, ka nuiah sak ih athii longhaih loe Khaldian kaminawk nuiah om nasoe, tiah thuih o.
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 To pongah Angraeng mah, Khenah, nang to kang sak haih moe, lu kang lak pae han; anih ih tuipui to ka kangsak moe, anih ih tuibaap tuinawk doeh ka kangsak han, tiah thuih.
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 Babylon loe kamro hmuenmae suek cuuhaih ahmuen, tasuinawk ohhaih ahmuen, dawnraihaih ahmuen, pahnui thuihaih ahmuen hoi kami om ai angqai krang ahmuen ah om tih.
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Nihcae loe kaipui baktiah nawnto hang o ueloe, kaipui caanawk baktiah hang o tih.
They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
39 Nihcae anglawt ai, dungzan ah iih o poe hanah, palung angthawk o li naah, nihcae hanah poih to ka sak pae moe, ka paquisak boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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 Boh hanah hoih ih tuucaa baktih, tuu taenawk hoi maeh taenawk baktiah ka hoih tathuk han.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
41 Kawbangmaw Sheshak vangpui to lak o moe, long pum kamthang vangpui to a lak o? Kawbangmaw Babylon loe prae kaminawk salakah dawnrai koiah oh halat!
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 Babylon nuiah tuipui angthawk moe, kangthawk tuiphu mah anih to khuk khoep boeh.
The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 Anih ih vangpuinawk loe amrohaih ahmuen, prae karoem ahmuen, praezaek ahmuen, kami om ai ahmuen, kami caeh ai ih ahmuen ah om tih boeh.
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 Babylon ih Bel sithaw doeh ka thuitaek moe, anih mah paaeh ving ih hmuen to ka pathaksak let han; prae kaminawk loe anih khaeah caeh o mak ai boeh; ue, Babylon sipae loe amtim tih boeh, tiah thuih.
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 Kai ih kaminawk, anih to tacawt o taak ah; kanung parai Angraeng palungphuihaih thung hoiah kami boih hinghaih to pahlong oh.
Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
46 Prae thung hoi thaih ih tamthang lok pongah, palung boeng o sak hmah loe, zii doeh zii o hmah; tamthang loe saningto pacoeng saningto thaih o tih; ukkung maeto hoi maeto misa angtukhaih, prae thungah athii longhaih to om tih.
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 Babylon ih krangnawk nuiah ka thuitaekhaih to pha tih; prae boih dawnrai o ueloe, vangpui thungah kami pop parai duekhaih to om tih.
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 Aluek bang hoiah anih tuh kaminawk angzoh o naah, van hoi long ah kaom kaminawk boih mah Babylon anghoehaih laa to sah o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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 Babylon pongah Israel kaminawk hum o baktih toengah, long pum ih kaminawk doeh Babylon vangpui ah hum o tih.
As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 Nangcae sumsen hoi loih kaminawk, angdoe o sut hmah, caeh o ving ah; prae kangthla hoiah Angraeng to poek oh loe, Jerusalem doeh palung thungah poek oh.
Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 Kaicae loe kasaethuihaih ka thaih o pongah, azathaih hoiah ka oh o, azathaih mah kaicae ih mikhmai to khuk khoep boeh; angvinnawk loe Angraeng im hmuenciim ah akun o boeh.
— 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 Toe khenah, Babylon ih krangnawk nuiah lok ka caekhaih aninawk to pha ueloe, prae boih ih ahmaa caa kaminawk to hang o tih.
— Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Babylon loe van khoek to phak boeh, kacakah sipae thungh o tahang langlacadoeh, anih paro kaminawk to ka patoeh han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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 Babylon hoiah qahhaih lok to angzoh moe, kalen parai amrohaih to Khaldian kaminawk prae thung hoiah angzoh;
The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
55 Angraeng mah Babylon to phraek boeh pongah, kalen parai tuinawk baktiah anih ih tuiphu angthawk tahang naah, katuen parai moe, kalen parai anih ih lok to Angraeng mah diisak tih;
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 Babylon phraekung to angzoh pongah, thacak angmah ih misatuh kaminawk to naeh o moe, kaliinawk to khaeh pae o boih; Angraeng loe lu la Sithaw ah oh, anih mah lu la tangtang tih.
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 Anih ih angraengnawk, palungha kaminawk, misatuh angraengnawk, prae ukkungnawk, thacak kaminawk to ka paquisak han; nihcae loe angthawk o mak ai, dungzan khoek to iip o poe tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah ahmin kaom, Siangpahrang mah thuih.
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 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Babylon ih kathah sipaenawk to amrosak tih, prae kaminawk mah patangkhanghaih hoiah sak o ih, kasang khongkhanawk doeh hmai mah kang tih; kaminawk loe azom pui ah ni toksah o tih, tiah thuih.
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 Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah ukhaih saning palito haih naah, Jeremiah loe siangpahrang hoi nawnto Babylon ah caeh, to naah Maseiah capa Neriah, Neriah capa angraeng Seraiah khaeah Jeremiah mah thuih ih lok loe hae tiah oh.
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 Babylon nuiah kaom han koi amrohaih hae loknawk boih loe Jeremiah mah tarik.
And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 Jeremiah mah Seraiah khaeah, Babylon ah na phak naah, hae loknawk boih hae kroek paeh;
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
62 Aw Angraeng, hae ahmuen ah kami doeh, taw ih moisan doeh, oh han ai ah phraek boih moe, dungzan khoek to kam rosak poe han, tiah lok na thuih boeh, tiah lawkthui ah.
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 Hae cabu na kroek pacoengah, thlung hoi nawnto kom ah loe, Euphrates vapui thungah vah ah;
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 Babylon loe to tiah amtim tih, anih loe a nuiah ka phaksak han ih amrohaih hoiah angthawk let mak ai boeh; vangpui kaminawk loe thazok o tih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah a naa. Jeremiah ih lok loe hae ah boeng boeh.
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.
