Jeremiah 51
1 Yahweh says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kutcaihnah mueihla te Babylon taeng neh, Lebkamai khosa rhoek taengah ka haeng coeng ne.
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.
Babylon taengah kholong rhoek neh anih aka vam te ka tueih ni. A yoethae hnin ah tah a khohmuen te a kaepvai ah a om thil vetih a hlaih ni.
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!
A lii aka nuen loh nuen khaw nuen mai saeh lamtah a caempho te khuen saeh. Te vaengah a tongpang rhoek te hnaih kolla a caempuei khaw boeih thup uh saeh.
4 They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
Khalden khohmuen kah rhok neh a kawtpoeng kah a thun rhoek khaw cungku uh ni.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by Yahweh of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
Amih kah Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh Israel neh Judah te a hnong van pawt bangla Israel kah aka cim taeng lamkah moeithennah tah amih khohmuen ah cung coeng.
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 Yahweh’s vengeance. He will render to her a recompense.
Babylon khui lamloh rhaelrham saeh lamtah hlang loh a hinglu te hlawt saeh. Amih kathaesainah dongah ngam boeh. BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah tue ah tah amah neh a tiing la a taengah a thuung.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in Yahweh’s hand, who made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
BOEIPA kut kah Babylon sui boengloeng loh diklai pum a rhuihmil sak. A misurtui te namtom loh a ok tih namtom khaw yan uh.
8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may be healed.
Babylon te buengrhuet cungku vetih bawt ni. Anih ham rhung uh lamtah thingpi loh pa uh lah, a nganboh te a hoeih pah khaming.
9 “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
Babylon te n'toi khaw n'toi dae a hoeih moenih. Anih te hnoo uh lamtah hlang loh amah khohmuen la cet uh saeh. A laitloeknah loh vaan duela a pha tih khomong duela a toh.
10 ‘Yahweh has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.’
BOEIPA loh kaimih kah duengnah hang khuen te khuen uh sih lamtah kaimih Pathen BOEIPA kah khoboe te Zion ah doek uh sih.
11 “Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! Yahweh 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 Yahweh, the vengeance of his temple.
Thaltang te meet lamtah photling te cung sakuh. BOEIPA loh Madai manghai kah mueihla te a haeng coeng. A thuepnah lamloh BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah neh a bawkim kah tawnlohnah dongah Babylon te phae kuekluek ham om.
12 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for Yahweh has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
Babylon vongtung te rholik ling thiluh. Thongim te bingbo lamtah rhaltawt hlah uh. Rhongngol te soepsoei uh. Babylon khosa rhoek a voek tih BOEIPA loh a mangtaeng te khaw a saii bal ni.
13 You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
A tui aka buem taengah kho aka sa, kho aka sa kah thakvoh he len dae na mueluemnah dong khat te na bawtnah la pawk coeng.
14 Yahweh 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.’
Caempuei BOEIPA loh a hinglu neh a toemngam coeng. Hlang te lungang bangla nang kan cung sak kuekluek vetih nang te tamlung neh n'doo uh ni.
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.
A thadueng lamloh diklai a saii tih a cueihnah loh lunglai a picai. A lungcuei neh vaan a cueh.
16 When he utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
Vaan kah tui len khaw ol a paek tih diklai khobawt lamkah khomong a luei sak. Khotlan ham rhaek a saii tih a thakvoh lamloh khohli hang khuen.
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.
A mingnah lamloh hlang boeih a dom tih mueithuk aka picai boeih khaw yak. A tuisi hong neh amih khuiah mueihla a om moenih.
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
Akaimih kah a honghi neh a hohap bibi te a cawhnah tue ah paltham bitni.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. Yahweh of Armies is his name.
Jakob kah khoyo tah te bang moenih. A ming khaw caempuei Yahweh tih a cungkuem amah kah rho koca la a hlinsai.
20 “You are my battle ax and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.
Nang tah ka caemboh neh caemtloek tubael ni. Nang te namtom kan daeh nah vetih nang te ram kam phae nah ni.
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.
Nang te marhang neh a sokah aka ngol te kan daeh nah vetih nang te leng neh a sokah aka ngol te kan daeh nah ni.
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.
Nang te huta tongpa kan daeh nah vetih nang te patong camoe kan daeh nah bal ni. Nang te tongpang, oila kan daeh nah ni.
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.
Nang te boiva aka dawn neh a tuping khaw kan daeh nah vetih nang te lopho neh a tarhoi kan daeh nah ni. Nang te rhalboei neh ukkung te kan daeh nah ni.
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 Yahweh.
Zion kah namah mikhmuh ah a boethae cungkuem a saii uh te Babylon taeng neh Khalden khosa boeih taengah ka thuung ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
25 “Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says Yahweh, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned mountain.
Kutcaihnah tlang nang taengah ka pai coeng ne. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Diklai boeih aka phae khaw nang taengla ka kut ka thueng ni. Te vaengah thaelpang lamloh nang kam paluet vetih ungkhang tlang la nang kang khueh ni.
26 They won’t take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says Yahweh.
Nang lamkah te bangkil lung neh tungkho lung khaw lo uh mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olphong bangla kumhal due khopong la na om ni.
27 “Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet among 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!
Diklai ah rholik thoh uh lamtah namtom taengah tuki ueng uh. Namtom taengah ciim uh lamtah a ram soah khaw yaak sakuh. Minni Ararat neh Ashkenaz te rhalboei khueh thil lamtah marhang te lungang hathawp bangla yuel sakuh.
28 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
Namtom Madai manghai rhoek neh a rhalboei rhoek, a ukkung boeih neh a khohung khohmuen boeih anih taengah ciim uh laeh.
29 The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Khosak pawt hil Babylon khohmuen te imsuep la khueh ham Babylon sokah BOEIPA kopoek te a thoh dongah khohmuen hinghuen tih kilkul ni.
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.
Babylon hlangrhalh loh vathoh ham khaw paa uh tih rhalmahim ah ngol uh. Amih kah thayung thamal te tla coeng tih huta bangla om uh. A tolhmuen a hlup uh tih a thohkalh ngen coeng.
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.
A khopuei a bawt duela a loh pah te Babylon manghai taengah puen ham, aka yong loh aka yong te doe ham neh, aka puen loh aka puen te doe ham yong uh.
32 So the passages are seized. They have burned the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”
Lamkai te a tlaeng uh tih tuibap te hmai neh a hoeh uh. Te dongah caemtloek hlang rhoek khaw let uh.
33 For Yahweh 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.”
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A til tue ah tah Babylon nu te cangtilhmuen bangla om pawn vetih a taengah cangah tue pai pawn ni.
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.
Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh kaimih n'yoop tih kamah khaw n'yoop coeng, kaimih n'khawkkhek tih kamah n'khawkkhek coeng. Kaimih he am hong la n'khueh tih kamah khaw n'khueh. Tuihnam bangla kaimih he n'dolh tih kai khaw n'dolh. Ka omthennah neh a bungpuei a hah phoeiah tah kaimih te n'hoek tih kai khaw n'hoek.
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.
Zion khosa rhoek loh, “ka kuthlahnah neh ka pumsa he Babylon soah tla saeh,” ti saeh. Jerusalem loh, “Ka thii Khalden khosa rhoek soah tla saeh,” ti uh saeh.
36 Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na tuituknah te kai loh kang rhoe tih nang kah tawnlohnah khaw phu ka loh ni. Te vaengah a tuipuei te ka kak sak vetih a thunsih te ka haang sak ni.
37 Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Babylon te pongui kah khuirhung lungkuk la om vetih imsuep neh a thuithetnah la khosa om mahpawh.
38 They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ cubs.
Sathuengca bangla huek kawk uh tih sathueng casen bangla cai uh.
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 Yahweh.
A bae vaengah a buhkoknah ka khueh pah saeh lamtah amih ka rhuihmil sak eh. Te daengah ni sundaep uh vetih aka ip loh kumhal due a ih vaengah a haenghang uh pawt eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
40 “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
Amih te tuca bangla ngawn ham tutal neh kikong bangla ka suntlak sak ni.
41 “How Sheshach is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
Balae tih Sheshak te a loh veith diklai pum kah koehnah te a loh eh? Balae tih Babylon he namtom taengah imsuep la a om eh?
42 The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
Babylon soah tuitunli loh a khuk tih a tuiphu tuilipo loh a et.
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.
A khopuei te rhamrhae khohmuen neh khohmuen kolken kah imsuep la poeh. A khuihah hlang boeih khosa pawt tih hlang capa tah te longah ah pongpa pawh.
44 I will execute judgment 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.
Babylon kah Bel te ka cawh coeng tih a dolhhnap te a ka lamloh ka yawt pah. Te dongah namtom khaw a taengah hlampan voel pawt tih Babylon vongtung khaw cungku van.
45 “My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from Yahweh’s fierce anger.
Ka pilnam te a khui lamloh coe laeh saeh lamtah hlang loh a hinglu te BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa lamloh loeih sak laeh.
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.
Nangmih thinko te phoena vetih khohmuen kah olthang na yaak vaengah na rhih uh ve. Kum khat dongkah olthang phoeiah kum khat dongah olthang he ha pawk. Diklai ah kuthlahnah he aka taemrhai loh aka taemrhai taengah a khueh.
47 Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
Te dongah khohnin ha pawk coeng he. Babylon mueidaep te ka cawh coeng dongah a khohmuen boeih yak pawn ni. A rhok boeih te a khui ah yalh ni.
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 Yahweh.
Te vaengah vaan neh diklai loh Babylon a tamhoe thil vetih anih aka rhoelrhak te tlangpuei lamloh amih taengah boeih ha pawk ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
49 “As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
Israel rhok aka yalh sak khaw Babylon tangkhuet, diklai pum rhok la aka yalh sak khaw Babylon tangkhuet ni.
50 You who have escaped the sword, go! Don’t stand still! Remember Yahweh from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”
cunghang lamkah hlangyong rhoek loh pai kolla cet uh. Khohla lamloh BOEIPA te poek uh lamtah Jerusalem te na thinko ah dueh.
51 “We are confounded because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of Yahweh’s house.”

52 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng he. A mueidaep te ka cawh thil vetih a khohmuen pum ah a rhok neh kii ni.
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 Yahweh.
Babylon te vaan la luei mai tih a sarhi hmuensang te bit cakhaw anih aka rhoelrhak te kamah taeng lamloh thoeng uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
54 “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Babylon lamkah a pang ol neh Khalden khohmuen lamkah pocinah tanglue aih te.
55 For Yahweh lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.
BOEIPA loh Babylon te a rhoelrhak coeng tih, anih lamkah ol tanglue khaw a paltham sak. Tui len bangla a tuiphu loh kawk tih, a ol te longlonah la a huel.
56 For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for Yahweh is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.
Babylon aka rhoelrhak te anih taengla pawk ni. Te vaengah a hlangrhalh rhoek a tuuk vetih, a lii khaw yawk ni. BOEIPA Pathen loh a khoboe te a thuung rhoe a thuung ni.
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 Yahweh of Armies.
A mangpa rhoek neh a hlangcueih, a rhalboei neh anih kah ukkung rhoek khaw, a hlangrhalh khaw ka rhuihmil sak ni. Te vaengah kumhal due ip rhoe ip vetih haenghang uh mahpawh. A ming ah caempuei manghai, Yahweh kah olphong ni.
58 Yahweh of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burned with fire. The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Babylon vongtung a thah te a phae rhoe a phae ni. A vongka a sang te hmai dongah a hlup uh ni. Pilnam kah a kohnue carhil khaw a poeyoek la om tih namtu khaw hmai carhil dongah tawnba uh bal.
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.
Judah manghai Zedekiah a manghai kah a kum li dongah amah neh Babylon la a caeh vaengah tonghma Jeremiah loh Maaseiah koca Neriah capa Seraiah te ol a uen. Te vaengah Seraiah kah a mangpa tah duemnah la om.
60 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
Te dongah Babylon ah aka pawk ham boethae cungkuem neh Babylon ham a daek ol cungkuem te khaw cabu pakhat dongah Jeremiah loh a daek.
61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
Te vaengah Jeremiah loh Seraiah taengah, “Babylon na pha neh na hmuh taengah he ol cungkuem he doek pah.
62 and say, ‘Yahweh, 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.’
Te vaengah, 'BOEIPA loh he hmuen he a saii vetih a khuiah hlang neh rhamsa khaw khosa om pawt vetih kumhal ah khopong la om ni, 'ti nah lamtah namah loh thui pah.
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.
Cabu na tae te na khah vaengah lungto te khit thil lamtah Perath laklung la voei ne.
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.
Te vaengah, 'Babylon khaw buek van vetih yoethae hmai lamloh thoo thai mahpawh. Te tah kai loh anih soah ka thoeng sak dongah tawnba uh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah. He hil he Jeremiah kah ol ni.
