Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru sie eng upa in tuhyak ac kunausla acn Babylonia ac mwet we.
2 And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall fan her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
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 the archer bend his bow, and let him not lift himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
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 they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
Elos ac fah kineta ac misa ke inkanek in siti selos.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land is full of guilt 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 out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
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 LORD’S hand; that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
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 be 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 healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
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 righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion 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 Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: the LORD hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his device is against Babylon, to destroy it: for 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 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake concerning 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, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness.
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], Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the cankerworm; and they shall lift up a 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 hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:
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, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
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 brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, 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 vanity, a work of delusion: 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 these; for he is the former of all things; and [Israel] is the tribe 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 art my battle axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I 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 will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and him that rideth therein;
Keim nga kunausla horse ac mwet kasrusr fac, Nga kunausla chariot ac mwet kasrusr fac.
22 and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
Keim nga uniya mukul ac mutan, Nga akmuseya mwet matu ac mwet fusr, Nga uniya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
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 deputies.
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 unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, 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 am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and 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 a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate 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, 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 rough cankerworm.
“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 against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of his 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 trembleth and is in pain: for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
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 mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strong holds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling places are set on fire; 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 post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:
Mwet utuk kas uh kasrusr atutafi ke pweng nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia, lah acn nukewa ke siti sel uh musalsalu.
32 and the passages are surprised, and the reeds they have burned 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 threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
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 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 maw with my delicates; 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 violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
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 plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
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 become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and an hissing, without 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 young lions; they shall growl as lions’ whelps.
Mwet Babylonia nukewa ngutngut oana lion, ac kou oana lion fusr.
39 When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, 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, like rams with he-goats.
Nga fah usalosla in anwuki, oana sheep fusr, nani, ac sheep mukul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
41 How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become a desolation 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 upon 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 a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
Inkul ma apkuran nu we sikiyukla acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet muta we ku forfor we.
44 And I will do judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall 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 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the LORD.
Mwet Israel, kaing liki acn ingan! Kaing tuh kowos in moulla liki kasrkusrak lulap luk.
46 And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall come] a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against 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, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be ashamed; 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 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the spoilers shall come unto 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 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
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 Ye that have escaped the sword, go ye, stand not still; remember the LORD from afar, 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 ashamed, because we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house.
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 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images; and through 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 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto 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 sound of a cry from Babylon, and of 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 For the LORD spoileth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is uttered:
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 for the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces: for the LORD is a God of recompences, he shall surely requite.
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 drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the 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: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labour for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.
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 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 chamberlain.
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 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning 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 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, then see that thou 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 and say, O LORD, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall 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 it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of 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 shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
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.
