< Jeremiah 51 >

1 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;
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! Babilon hoi Khaldean taminaw e lathueng ka raphoekung kahlîkathout a patoun han.
2 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.
Babilon lathueng vah para patetlah hut hanelah ka patoun vaiteh, amahoima hah kathoungcalah a hut han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, rawk kahmanae hnin dawk, ahnimouh ni kalup awh vaiteh a tuk awh han.
3 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.
Licung ka patuem e tami, a licung hah kâkhoe laipalah sum angki kho laihoi kangdout naseh, a thoundounnaw hah buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah a ransanaw pueng hai he pâmit naseh.
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
Khaldean ram dawk thei vaiteh a rawp awh han, kho thung lamnaw dawk kamlet awh vaiteh, pawk a thut awh han.
5 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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel Tami Kathoung taran laihoi ram teh yonnae hoi ka kawi nakunghai, Isarel hoi Judah teh Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni cettakhai mahoeh.
6 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.
Babilon kho thung hoi yawng awh nateh, tami pueng ni mae hringnae kârungngang naseh. Sak payonnae naw dawk rawk kahmanae koe lah hno awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni moipathungnae tueng a pha toe. Ama ni moipathung roeroe han toe.
7 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.
Babilon teh BAWIPA kut dawk e suimanang doeh, talai van pueng ka parui sak e lah ao. Miphunnaw ni misurtui a nei awh dawkvah, miphunnaw e lungthin he a pathu.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
Babilon teh vaitalahoi a rawp teh a kahma, ahni hanlah khuikap awh. Dam thai nahanelah awm pawiteh, thingtapi tâsi hah lat pouh awh.
9 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.
Babilon teh hawi sak hanlah ka kâcai, hatei hawi thai hoeh.
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
BAWIPA ni maimae lannae a kamnue sak, tho awh, BAWIPA Cathut ni a sak e hah Zion vah pathang awh sei.
11 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.
Palanaw hah kata awh nateh, saipheinaw hah patuem awh. BAWIPA ni Midian siangpahrang e muitha hah a thao sak toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a kâcai e teh Babilon raphoe hane doeh, bangtelah tetpawiteh, hethateh BAWIPA ni moipathungnae, bawkim moipathungnae doeh.
12 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.
Babilon kalupnae a kung koevah tarantuknae lukkarei vo awh. Ringnae sak nateh, ramvengnaw hrueng awh. Pawpnae hah kârakueng awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Babilon vah kaawmnaw taranlahoi BAWIPA ni a dei e hah ama ni a bangnue teh a cum toe.
13 Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
Oe! nang, tui papnae koe kho ka sak ni teh hnopai moipap ka tawn e tami, na poutnae a pha toe, na hringnae rui a pet han toe.
14 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.
Ransahu BAWIPA ni mahoima noe lahoi thoe a kâbo toe. Samtong patetlah taminaw hoi na kawi sak han, hotnaw ni na hram sin awh han.
15 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.
A hnotithainae ni talai a sak teh a lungangnae ni talaivan a kangdue sak teh, a thaipanueknae ni kalvan hah a sak.
16 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.
A lawk a tâco toteh kalvan hoi tui a cairing teh talai poutnae koehoi tâmai a luen sak. Khorak teh sumpapalik sak Hnoim dawk hoi kahlî a tho sak.
17 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.
Tami pueng mae lungangnae lahoi teh saring hoi doeh a kâvan. Sui dêikathoum e tam ni sak e meikaphawk ni yeirai a po sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, meikaphawk a thuk e teh laithoe doeh. Hothah kâha tawn hoeh.
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Reknae ao toteh, bang hoeh e kâdumnae lah ao teh a kahma han.
19 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.
Jakop e a ham teh hottelah nahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bangpuengpa ka sak e lah ao teh, Isarel teh râw lah a coe e miphun doeh. A min teh ransahu Jehovah doeh.
20 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;
Nang teh ka tarantuknae cakâ hoi senehmaica lah na o teh, nang hno lahoi miphunnaw hah ka dêi, nang hno lahoi uknaeramnaw hah ka raphoe han.
21 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;
Nang hno lahoi rangleng dawk kâcuinaw ka khoe teh, nang hno lahoi leng dawk kâcuinaw hah ka khoe.
22 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;
Nang hno lahoi napui tongpanaw ka khoe teh, nang hno lahoi matawng hoi nawsainaw ka khoe. Nang hno lahoi thoundounnaw, tanglanaw hah ka khoe.
23 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.
Nang hno lahoi tukhoumkung hoi tunaw ka khoe teh, nang hno lahoi law kasaknaw e thenaw ka khoe, nang hno lahoi ram ukkungnaw hoi kabawmkungnaw hah ka khoe.
24 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.
Nange mithmu roeroe vah Zion dawk hawihoehnae a sak awh e naw pueng hah Babilon hoi Khaldean taminaw lathueng vah moi ka pathung han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
25 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.
Khenhaw! talai van pueng ka raphoe e, Oe! raphoekung kalenpounge mon, kai ni na taran telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Na lathueng vah kut ka dâw vaiteh, ka rasang e lungha koehoi pâlei han. He ka kang e mon patetlah na o sak han.
26 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.
Nang koehoi adu talung hoi takinlung ka lat mahoeh. Hatei yungyoe hoi kingdi lah na o han telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
27 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.
Hote ram dawk tarantuknae lukkarei vo awh nateh, miphunnaw rahak mongka ueng awh. Ama tuk hanelah miphunnaw kârakueng awh. Ahni tuk hanelah uknaeram pueng kaw awh. Ararat, Minni, Askenaz ramnaw, ama tuk hanelah hram awh, ama tuk hanlah ransanaw tat awh, samtongnaw patetlah marangnaw hah pâkhueng awh.
28 Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
Ama ka tuk hane miphunnaw kârakueng awh. Midian siangpahrang hoi ka ukkungnaw kahrawikungnaw hoi kâ a tawnnae ramnaw pueng hoi,
29 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.
Hote ram teh patawnae khang laihoi a pâyaw teh Babilon ram hah kho ka sak e tami awm laipalah pahma hanlah Babilon lathueng BAWIPA ni a kâcai e a cak sak han.
30 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.
Babilon athakaawme taminaw tarantuk laipalah ao awh teh, rapanimnaw dawk a kâhro awh. Taranhawinae a kahma pouh teh, napui patetlah doeh ao awh toe. A khosaknae hmuennaw he a kak teh tho tarennae pueng a kâkhoe.
31 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;
Babilon siangpahrang koe, khopui teh avangvanglah hoi he a man awh toe tie dei hanelah patoune ka yawng e ni tami alouke a kâhmo teh patoun e ni alouke bout a kâhmo.
32 and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
palang rakhannae a rakhan awh teh, lungpumkungnaw hah a sawi awh teh, tarankatuknaw hai he a yawng awh.
33 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.
Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Babilon canu teh cangkatinnae hmuen patetlah ao. Nâsittouh ao hoehnahlan cangkatinnae tue a pha han.
34 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.
Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni na ca awh, na ai awh teh, kathounge hlaam lah na coung sak. Khorui patetlah na payawp teh, katui e kaie moi hoi a vawn paha sak teh bout na pâlei awh.
35 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.
Kai hoi ka thitak kong dawk hawihoehnae thaw he Babilon lathueng awm naseh, telah Zion e kho kasaknaw ni ati awh han. Ka thipaling teh Khaldean taminaw e lathueng awm seh telah, Jerusalem ni ati han.
36 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.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Nang koe lah kampang vaiteh moi na pathung pouh han. A talî ka hak sak vaiteh, a tuiim hai ka phui sak han.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Babilon teh songnawng kahrawnguinaw khosaknae, kângairu e, hoi pathoenae, kingdinae hmuen lah ao han.
38 They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
Sendek thakasai patetlah huk awh vaiteh, sendekcanaw patetlah a cairing awh han.
39 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.
A parui lahun awh navah, rawca ka paca vaiteh, banghai panuek laipalah ka parui sak han, kâhlaw toung laipalah pou a i awh nahan telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
Tuca thei hane patetlah ka pâkhi han. Tutan hoi hmaetan patetlah.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
Sheshak teh la e lah ao han, talai van pueng ni oup e hah man e lah ao han. Babilon teh miphunnaw rahak kingdi lah ao han.
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
Babilon teh tuipui ni a ramuk han. Tuicapa patawpoung lah ka thaw e ni a ramuk han.
43 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.
A khopuinaw hah raphoe vaiteh, ramke, ram kingdi, tami ohoehnae, tami ca pinihai pâtam boihoeh e ram lah ao han.
44 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.
Babilon e Bel hah ka rek han. A padoun tangcoung e hai a kâko thung hoi ka rasa vaiteh, miphunnaw ahni koe bout kamkhueng mahoeh toe. Babilon e rapan teh a tip han.
45 Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
Ka taminaw Babilon thung hoi tâcawt awh, takithopoung e BAWIPA lungkhueknae thung hoi mahoima e hringnae kârungngang awh.
46 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.
Na lungthin tawn hanh naseh, ram dawk e kamthang hai taket hanh awh. Kum touh hoi kum touh kamthang a tho han, siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang kâtuk vaiteh, rektapnae ao han.
47 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.
Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! Babilon ni thuk e meikaphawknaw lathueng vah lawkkaceng teh a ram pueng kaya laihoi a onae tueng a pha vaiteh, a lathueng vah thei e naw a rawp awh han.
48 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.
Hat toteh, talai hoi kalvan athung kaawmnaw pueng atunglae ram dawk hoi raphoekungnaw ahnimouh koe a pha han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
49 As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
Thei e Isarelnaw Babilon ni a rawp sak e patetlah Babilon vah ram dawk e tami thei e naw a rawp awh van han.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Nangmouh tahloi dawk hoi kahloutnaw, cet awh nateh, duem kangdout rumram awh hanh. Lamhlanae koehoi BAWIPA hah pou panuek awh nateh, a lungthin dawk Jerusalem doun naseh.
51 — 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.
Tamthoe lawk ka thai dawkvah, ka kaya teh ka minhmai a mathoe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA im hmuen kathoung dawk ram alouke tami a kâen toe.
52 — Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
Hatdawkvah thai awhaw! ahnimae meikaphawknaw lathueng lawkcengnae hnin hoi a ram pueng lathueng a hmâ patawnae dawk kâhramnae hnin a pha han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
53 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.
Babilon teh kalvan kâbet totouh a rasang teh, rapan kacakpoung nakunghai, a lathueng vah kai koehoi raphoekung ka pha sak roeroe han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
54 The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
Babilon hoi khuikanae kamthang a pha teh, Khaldean ram dawk hoi ka patawpoung e rawk kahmanae kamthang a pha.
55 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.
BAWIPA ni Babilon hah a raphoe teh, kacaipounge a kamthang hah a roum sak. Ahnimouh kâroenae pawlawk, tui moikapap e pawlawk patetlah ao teh, thouk a hramki awh.
56 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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lathueng hoi Babilon e lathueng raphoekung a pha teh a tami thakasainaw hah a man. Tami pueng e linaw he a khoe pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh moipathung e Cathut lah ao teh moi a pathung roeroe han.
57 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.
Kahrawikungnaw, tami lungkaangnaw, ukkungnaw, kabawmkungnaw, hoi tami thakasainaw ka parui sak han. Mat ip awh vaiteh, kâhlaw awh mahoeh toe, telah ka Bawi Poung, a min ransahu siangpahrang Jehovah ni a dei.
58 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.
Ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Babilon rapan katha poung e tim vaiteh, longkha rasangpoung e he a kak han. A taminaw ni houng laipalah a tawk awh ei, miphunnaw ni hmaisawi hanelah doeh ao.
59 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.
Judah siangpahrang a bawi kum 4 nah Babilon lah a cei nah ahni koe ka cet van e Seraiah, Neraiah capa Maaseiah capa koevah, profet Jeremiah e kâpoe lawk, Bangkongtetpawiteh, Seraiah teh siangpahrang imthung dawk kahrawikung kacue pouh lah ao.
60 And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
Jeremiah ni Babilon lathueng ka tho hane rawkphainae pueng, Babilon kong dawk a thut e canaw pueng hete cauk dawk a thut.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
Jeremiah ni Seraiah koevah, Babilon na pha navah, hete lawknaw pueng he touk loe.
62 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.
Hat toteh, nang ni, Oe BAWIPA hete hmuen taranlahoi apihai, tami hoi saring hai, khosak laipalah ao teh, yungyoe hoi raphoe hanelah lawk na dei toe, telah na ti han.
63 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;
Hahoi, hete cauk heh na touk toteh, talung hoi pâkhit nateh Euphrates palang dawk na tâkhawng han.
64 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.
Babilon teh hettelah a bo han. A lathueng vah rawkphainae ka pha sak hane dawkvah, bout thaw mahoeh toe. A hmawtcei awh han telah na dei han, telah atipouh. Hethateh Jeremiah e lawk doeh.
