< Jeremiah 51 >

1 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will raise up as it were a pestilential wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants thereof, who have lifted up their heart against me.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru sie eng upa in tuhyak ac kunausla acn Babylonia ac mwet we.
2 And I will send to Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall destroy her land: for they are come upon her on every side in the day of her affliction.
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.
3 Let not him that bendeth, bend his bow, and let not, him go up that is armed with a coat of mail: spare not her young men, destroy all her army.
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!
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in the regions thereof.
Elos ac fah kineta ac misa ke inkanek in siti selos.
5 For Israel and Juda have not been forsaken by their God the Lord of hosts: but their land hath been filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
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.
6 Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will I render unto her what she hath deserved.
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.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
Babylonia el tuh oana sie cup gold inpouk, ac oru tuh faclu nufon sruhila. Mutunfacl pus numla wain nimal ac wella.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
Acn Babylonia sa na ikori ac kunausyukla! Kowos in tung kacl, ac suk ono in unwela kinet kacl. Sahp el ac ku in kwela!
9 We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds.
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.”’
10 The Lord hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion the work of the Lord our God.
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!”’
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers, the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
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!
12 Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
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.
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, rich in treasures, thy end is come for thy entire destruction.
Pukanten infacl ac mwe kasrup in facl sac, tusruktu sun pacl in safla lal. Moul lun Babylonia ac wutiyukla na pwaye.
14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee.
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.
15 He that made the earth by his power, that hath prepared the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke ku lal; El oakiya faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ac El asroelik kusrao ke etu lal.
16 When he uttereth his voice the waters are multiplied in heaven: he lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth, he hath turned lightning into rain: and hath brought forth the wind out of his treasures.
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.
17 Every man is become foolish by his knowledge: every founder is confounded by his idol, for what he hath cast is a lie, and there is no breath in them.
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.
18 They are vain works, and worthy to be laughed at, in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Elos ma lusrongten ac fal in pilesreyuk. Elos ac fah kunausyukla pacl se LEUM GOD El tuku in nununkalos.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he that made all things he it is, and Israel is the sceptre of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
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.
20 Thou dashest together for me the weapons of war, and with thee I will dash nations together, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Babylonia, kom hammer nutik, kufwen mwe mweun nutik. Nga orekmakin kom in tuktukya mutunfacl ac tokosrai.
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 him that getteth up into it:
Keim nga kunausla horse ac mwet kasrusr fac, Nga kunausla chariot ac mwet kasrusr fac.
22 And with thee I will break in pieces man and woman, and with thee I will break in pieces the old man and the child, and with thee I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin:
Keim nga uniya mukul ac mutan, Nga akmuseya mwet matu ac mwet fusr, Nga uniya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
23 And with thee I will break in pieces the shepherd and his dock, and with thee I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee I will break in pieces captains and rulers.
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.”
24 And I will render to Babylon, and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil, that they have done in Sion, before your eyes, saith the Lord.
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.
25 Behold I come against thee, thou destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which corruptest the whole earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
Babylonia, kom oana soko fineol ma kunausla faclu nufon, tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, lain kom. Nga fah sruokkomi, aktupasrpasryekomla, ac filikomla in oan apatla.
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for the corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for ever, saith the Lord.
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.
27 Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as the stinging locust.
“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.
28 Prepare the nations against her, the kings of Media, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the land of their dominion.
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.
29 And the land shall be in a commotion, and shall be troubled: for the design of the Lord against Babylon shall awake, to make the land of Babylon desert and uninhabitable.
Faclu kusrusr ac rarrar mweyen LEUM GOD El akfahsrye pwapa lal in oru Babylonia in sie acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet fah muta we.
30 The valiant men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have dwelt in holds: their strength hath failed, and they are become as women: her dwelling places are burnt, her bars are broken.
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.
31 One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken from one end to the other:
Mwet utuk kas uh kasrusr atutafi ke pweng nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia, lah acn nukewa ke siti sel uh musalsalu.
32 And that the fords are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
Mwet lokoalok elos sruokya acn in tupalla infacl uh, ac esukak pot ku nukewa lun acn we. Mwet mweun lun Babylonia elos arulana tuninfongla.
33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
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.”
34 Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath eaten me up, he hath devoured me: he hath made me as an empty vessel: he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicate meats, and he hath cast me out.
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.
35 The wrong done to me, and my flesh be upon Babylon, saith the habitation of Sion: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, saith Jerusalem.
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!”
36 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will judge thy cause, and will take vengeance for thee, and I will make her sea desolate, and will dry up her spring.
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.
37 And Babylon shall be reduced to heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
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.
38 They shall roar together like lions, they shall shake their manes like young lions.
Mwet Babylonia nukewa ngutngut oana lion, ac kou oana lion fusr.
39 In their heat I will set them drink: and I will make them drunk, that they may slumber, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and awake no more, saith the Lord.
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.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with kids.
Nga fah usalosla in anwuki, oana sheep fusr, nani, ac sheep mukul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
41 How is Sesach taken, and the renowned one of all the earth surprised? How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
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.
42 The sea is come up over Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
Noa ngirngir meoa uh toki nu fin Babylon ac afunla.
43 Her cities are become an astonishment, a land uninhabited and desolate, a land wherein none can dwell, nor son of man pass through it.
Inkul ma apkuran nu we sikiyukla acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet muta we ku forfor we.
44 And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he had swallowed down: and the rations shall no more flow together to him, for the wall also of Babylon shall fall.
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.
45 Go out of the midst of her, my people: that every man may save his life from the fierce wrath of the Lord.
Mwet Israel, kaing liki acn ingan! Kaing tuh kowos in moulla liki kasrkusrak lulap luk.
46 And lest your hearts faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land: and a rumour shall come in one year, and after this year another rumour: and iniquity in the land, and ruler upon ruler.
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.
47 Therefore behold the days come, and I will visit the idols of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
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.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all things that are in them shall give praise for Babylon: for spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith the Lord.
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.
49 And as Babylon caused that there should fall slain in Israel: so of Babylon there shall fall slain in all the earth.
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.”
50 You that have escaped the sword, come away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
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.
51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: because strangers are come upon the sanctuaries of the house of the Lord.
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.’
52 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:
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.
53 If Babylon should mount up to heaven, and establish her strength on high: from me there should come spoilers upon her, saith the Lord.
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.”
54 The noise of a cry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Lohng pusren tung in Babylon, Pusren mwemelil ke sripen sikiyukla facl sac.
55 Because the Lord hath laid Babylon waste, and destroyed out of her the great voice: and their wave shall roar like many waters: their voice hath made a noise:
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.
56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, that is, upon Babylon, and her valiant men are taken, and their bow is weakened, because the Lord, who is a strong revenger, will surely repay.
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.
57 And I will make her princes drunk. and her wise men, and her captains, and her rulers, and her valiant men: and they shall sleep an everlasting sleep, and shall awake no more, saith the whose name is Lord of hosts.
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.
58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: That broad wall of Babylon shall be utterly broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire, and the labours of the people shall come to nothing, and of the nations shall go to the fire, and shall perish.
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.”
59 The word that Jeremias the prophet commanded Saraias the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, when he went with king Sedecias to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign: now Saraias was chief over the prophecy.
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.
60 And Jeremias wrote in one book all the evil that was to come upon Babylon: all these words that are written against Babylon.
Nga simusla in book se ma nukewa ma ac sikyak ke ac kunanula acn Babylonia, oayapa mwe fahkak puspis saya ke acn we.
61 And Jeremias said to Saraias: When thou shalt come into Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words,
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.
62 Thou shalt say: O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place to destroy it: so that there should be neither man nor beast to dwell therein, and that it should be desolate for ever.
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.’
63 And when thou shalt have made an end of reading this book, thou shalt tie a stone to it, and shalt throw it into the midst of the Euphrates:
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,
64 And thou shalt say: Thus shall Babylon sink, and she shall not rise up from the affliction that I will bring upon her, and she shall be utterly destroyed. Thus far are the words of Jeremias.
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.
