THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH HE SPOKE AGAINST BABYLON.
2 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Nangman namkol kisem inlang, apohna ding savun khao jong kisem inlang, anngong’a pon.
Proclaim you amongst the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress [them] not: say you, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up.
3 Chutengle, nangman Jerusalem a Zedekiah lengpa kimupi dinga hungji leng palai ho khut a, hiche Pakai thusei hohi, Edom lengpa, Moah lengpa, Ammon lengpa, Tyre leh Sidon lengte kom’a thot in.
For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast.
4 Hiche thuhi amaho chu penlang, amahon a lengte hou seipih uhen. Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye.
In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
5 Kathaneina jouse leh kaban thahat pan’a, keiman leiset leh asunga mihem jouse chuleh ganhing jouse abon’a kasem ahi. Hijeh’a chu keiman kicheng se hi, koi hijongle kanop nop kapeh jeng ahi.
They shall ask the way till [they come to] Sion, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten.
6 Tua hi, keiman hiche gam pumpi hi, kasohpa Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut a kapeh ding, chule gamlah’a gamsa ho jong, ama kin bol’a pang dinga kapeh ahitai.
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.
7 Hitia chu, namtin vaipin ama ajendiu, achapa jong chule atupa khang geiya jopng akin bol’a pang ding ahiuve. Chujoutengle namtin vaipi thahattah ho leh leng lentah hon, ama leh agamsung chu gal’a ajouva, achunguva vai ahomdiu ahi.
All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers [had] a pasture of righteousness.
8 Hijeh’a chu, nangho Babylon lengpa khut’a nakipehlut diu, ama kin bol’a napandiu ahi. Ijemtia koi nam ham khattouvin, Babylon lengpa soh’a panding da aumle, amaho chu talent kamatsah ding ahi. Keiman achung'uva gal kalhut khum ding, kel kalhah sah ding chule natna hise kalan sah ding ahi. Amaho chu Babylon lengpan asuhmang hel kahseuva, talen kamatsah ding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Flee you out of the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans, and go forth, and be as serpents before sleep.
9 Hijeh chun themgao lhemho thusei tahsan hih un, chuleh mang Lethem ho, phunsan thenho leh doi themho thusei ngaidauvin. Ajeh chu amahon, Babylon lengpan nachunguva ima boltheiponte pou, atiuve.
For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty.
10 Amaho chu apumpiuva joule nal’a thusei ngen ahiuvin, amaho thusei jal a nangho nagamsung uva kon’a delmang’a naumlo teidiu ahi. Hitia chu, keiman nangho gamla tah’a kadel mang diu, chuche mun’a chu nathi dendiu ahi.
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied.
11 Amavang, koi nam hijongle Babylon lengpan namkol noiya angong hindo jenga, kipelut ho vang chu, agamsung dalha louva umden diu, lou akiboluva, chengden diu ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Because you rejoiced, and boasted, [while] plundering mine heritage; because you exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.
12 Chuin, keiman Judah lengpa Hezekiah henga chun, Pakai thusei hijat pihi, asei tobang bang in kaga sei kitin, hitin kati. “Nahin nadin, Babylon lengpa namkol noiya nangong do cheh uvin, chule ama leh amite kin bol in panguvin.
Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: [she is] the last of the nations, desolate,
13 Ibol’a nang nahin namite ahiuvin, Pakaiyin aphondohsa Babylon lengpa kinbol nomlou mite chunga chuding – chemjam gilkel, chule natna hise hoa chu thidinga kigo jeng nahiu hitam?
by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague.
14 Themgao lhemho thusei tahsan hih un. Amahon Babylon lengpa kin boldauvin, aman ima nalothei pouvinte, atiu chu ngaidauvin. Amaho chu joule nal’a gaothu sei ngan ahiuve.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows,
15 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman hiche themgao ho hi kasol khapoi. Amahon kamin in jouthu jeng agaovun, hijeh’achu keiman hiche gamsunga kon’a hi, nangho nabonuva kadelmang ding nahiuve. Nangho jong chule na themgao hou jong, na bonchauva nathigam soh diu ahi.
and prevail against her: her hands are weakened, her bulwarks are fallen, and her wall is broken down: for it is vengeance from God: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do to her.
16 Chuin keiman thempu ho leh mipiho heng’a chun, Pakai thusei chu kahil in, hitin kaseiye. Na themgao houvin, Pakai houin sunga kon’a kipodoh gou ho, hung kinung pohlut loidinga aseiyu chu, ngaidauvin. Amahon jouthu jeng aseiyu ahibouve.
Utterly destroy seed out of Babylon, [and] him that holds a sickle in time of harvest: for fear of the Grecian sword, they shall return every one to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
17 Athuseiyu khu ngaipih hih un. Babylon lengpa khutnoiya kipelut uvin, chutileh nahinjoh diu ahi. Ibol a hiche khopi hi kimoh suhset jeng ding ham?
Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have driven him out: the king of Assyria first devoured him, and afterward this king of Babylon [has gnawed] his bones.
18 Amaho chu themgao dihtah ahiuva, Pakaiya kon thupeh seiding nei ahiuleh, Hatchung nung Pakai henga taovu hen. Chule Pakai Houin sunga kidalha goulu ho, leng inpia gouho, chule Jerusalem a umden gou ho jouse, Babylon gam’a pohmanga aumlou nadia Hatchung nung Pakai heng a, taovuhen.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria.
19 Ajeh chu Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Houin maiya inkhom ho, kisilna sum-eng kong lent ah, kangtalai ho, chuleh thil chom chom ho jouse,
And I will restore Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and on mount Ephraim and in Galaad, and his soul shall be satisfied.
20 Babylon leng Nebuchadnezzar in, Judah lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin chuleh Judah leh Jerusalem a vaipo milen milal ho abonchauva Babylon gam’a sohchang’a ana kaimang pet’a, ana dalhah chengse
In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Juda, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful to them that are left
21 Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, Houin sunga goulu kidalha ho leh Judah leng inpia kidalha ho, thua hitin aseiye.
on the land, says the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, says the Lord, and do according to all that I command you.
22 Hiche thilho jouse hi abon’a, Babylon gam’a kipolutsoh ding, keiman kagelkhoh kahsea chukom’a umjing ding; Chujouteng le keiman kahin nungpoh kit a, hiche mun’a hi kakoi ding ahibouve, ati.
A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans!
How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation amongst the nations!
They shall come upon you, and you shall not know it, Babylon, that you will even be taken captive: you are found and taken, because you did resist the Lord.
The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God [has] a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
For her times are come: open you her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her.
Dry you up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution.
A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Sion the vengeance [that comes] from the Lord our God.
Summon many against Babylon, [even] every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her [people] escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her warriors shall be cast down, says the Lord.
Behold, I am against you the haughty one, says the Lord: for your day is come, and the time of your retribution.
And your pride shall fail, and fall, and there shall be no one to set it up again: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
Thus says the Lord; The children of Israel and the children of Juda have been oppressed: all they that have taken them captive have oppressed them together; for they would not let them go.
But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name: he will enter into judgement with his adversaries, that he may destroy the earth;
and he will sharpen a sword against the Chaldeans, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her nobles and upon her wise men;
a sword upon her warriors, and they shall be weakened: a sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots:
a sword upon their warriors and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women: a sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water,
and they shall be ashamed: for it is a land of graven [images]; and in the islands, where they boasted.
Therefore shall idols dwell in the islands, and the young of monsters shall dwell in it: it shall not be inhabited any more for ever.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities bordering upon them, says the Lord: no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn there.
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the end of the earth; holding bow and dagger:
[the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy: their voices shall sound as the sea, they shall ride upon horses, prepared for war, like fire, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
The king of Babylon heard the sound of them, and his hands were enfeebled: anguish overcame him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
Behold, he shall come up as a lion from Jordan to Gaethan; for I will speedily drive them from her, and I will set all the youths against her: for who is like me? and who will resist me? and who is this shepherd who will stand before me?
Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has taken against Babylon; and his devices, which he has devised upon the Chaldeans inhabiting [it]: surely lambs of their flock shall be destroyed: surely pasture shall be cut off from them.
For at the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth shall quake, and a cry shall be heard amongst the nations.
