Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Kasdim, by Jeremiah the prophet.
Tonghma Jeremiah kut dongah BOEIPA loh Babylon ham neh Khalden khohmuen ham ol a thui.
2 “Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal; say, ‘Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’
Namtom taengah puen lamtah yaak sak laeh. Rholik te thoh uh lamtah na yaak sak te phah boeh. “Babylon te a loh vetih Bel khaw yak ni, Marduk te rhihyawp vetih a muei a rhoi vaengah a mueirhol te yawk ni.
3 For a nation comes up out of the north against her, which will make her land desolate, and no one will dwell in it. They have fled. They are gone, both man and animal.
Tlangpuei lamkah namtom loh anih te a paan vetih a khohmuen te imsuep la a khueh ni. A khuiah khosa ham hlang om pawt vetih rhamsa ni rhaehba ham a pongpa eh.
4 “In those days, and in that time,” says the LORD, “the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek the LORD their God.
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin kah a tue vaengah tah amih Israel ca rhoek neh Judah ca he tun pongpa ham ha pawk uh ni. Te vaengah a rhah neh pongpa uh vetih BOEIPA a Pathen te a toem uh ni.
5 They will inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it, saying, ‘Come, and join yourselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.’
A maelhmai a hooi uh vetih Zion longpuei te a dawt uh ni. Ha pawk uh vaengah BOEIPA taengla naep uh vetih kumhal kah paipi te hnilh mahpawh.
6 My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.
Ka pilnam he boiva aka milh bangla om rhoe om coeng. Amih aka dawn loh amih te kho a hmang sak tih tlang ah hnukcol la a mael sak. Tlang lamloh som la luei uh tih a kolhmuen te a hnilh uh.
7 All who found them have devoured them. Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of righteousness, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
Amih te aka hmu sarhui loh a ngaeh uh ni. A rhal rhoek loh, “Duengnah tolkhoeng BOEIPA neh a napa rhoek kah ngaiuepnah BOEIPA taengah a tholh uh dongah m'boe uh moenih,” a ti uh.
8 “Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Go out of the land of the Kasdim, and be as the male goats before the flocks.
Babylon lakli lamloh rhaehba lamtah Khalden khohmuen lamloh coe rhoe coe uh laeh. Boiva kah mikhmuh ah kikong bangla om uh.
9 For, behold, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they will set themselves in array against her. She will be taken from there. Their arrows will be as of an expert mighty man. None of them will return in vain.
Tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh namtom pilnu hlangping te ka haeng tih Babylon taengla ka thak coeng he. Anih te rhong a pai thil vetih a thaltang khaw pahoi a rhawt pah ni. Hlangrhalh tah cakol bangla kuttling la mael mahpawh.
10 Kasdim will be a prey. All who prey on her will be satisfied,” says the LORD.
Khalden khaw anih aka buem boeih kah kutbuem la om vetih cung uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
11 “Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
Na kohoe la hoe uh tih kai kah rho aka tukvat uh loh na sundaep la na sundaep uh. Cang aka til vaito bangla na pet na pet uh tih na hlampan khaw vaito lueng bangla na hlampan uh.
12 your mother will be utterly disappointed. She who bore you will be confounded. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
Na nu te yak vetih nang aka cun khaw namtom thaihdong, rhamrhae neh kolken kah khosoek ah tlal ngam ni.
13 Because of the LORD’s wrath she won’t be inhabited, but she will be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
BOEIPA kah a thinhul ah khosa uh pawt vetih a pum la khopong la poeh ni. Babylon kah aka cet boeih tah pong vetih a hmasoe cungkuem ah hlip ni.
14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her. Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the LORD.
Lii aka pom boeih Babylon kaepvai ah rhongpai uh lamtah anih te omtoem uh laeh. BOEIPA taengah a tholh dongah thaltang te hnaih uh boeh.
15 Shout against her all around. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks have fallen. Her walls have been thrown down, for it is the vengeance of the LORD. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do to her.
Anih te a kaepvai ah yuhui thil uh. A kut kha tih a yung yung ah cungku coeng. BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah dongah khaw a vongtung khaw koengloeng uh coeng. Anih sokah phu a loh bangla a taengah saii rhoe saii pah.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword, they will each return to their own people, and they will each flee to their own land.
Babylon lamkah lo aka tawn neh cangah tue ah vinkui aka pom te saii laeh. Aka vuelvaek kah cunghang hman ah hlang he amah pilnam taengla mael saeh lamtah hlang he amah khohmuen la rhaelrham saeh.
17 “Israel is a hunted sheep. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
Israel khaw sathueng kah a yaal tu bangla a heh coeng. Lamhma ah Assyria manghai loh a yoop tih a hmailong he Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a khat pah.
18 Therefore the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Assyria manghai taengah ka cawh bangla Babylon manghai neh a khohmuen te ka cawh coeng ne.
19 I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan. His soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
Tedae Israel te amah tolkhoeng la ka mael vetih Karmel neh Bashan ah, Ephriam tlang neh Gilead ah khaw a hinglu te kodam la luem ni.
20 In those days, and in that time,” says the LORD, “the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none, also the sins of Judah, and they won’t be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
Te khohnin neh BOEIPA kah olphong tue ah Israel kathaesainah te tlap cakhaw om mahpawh. Judah tholhnah te khaw hmu uh mahpawh. Ka hlun rhoek te khodawk ka ngai ni.
21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says the LORD, “and do according to all that I have commanded you.
Merathaim khohmuen amah te paan uh. Pekod khosa rhoek te khap uh lamtah amih hnukkah te thup uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te dongah nang kang uen te a cungkuem la saii uh.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
Khohmuen kah caemtloek ol neh pocinah tanglue aih te.
23 How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
Diklai pum kah kilung tah tlawt tih paep coeng. Balae tih Babylon he namtom lakli ah imsuep la a poeh.
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against the LORD.
Babylon aw na ming pawt vaengah nang kan hlaeh tih na man van coeng. BOEIPA te na huek dongah ni m'hmuh tih n'tuuk van.
25 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought out the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, GOD of Hosts, has a work to do in the land of the Kasdim.
BOEIPA loh a thakvoh te a ong tih Khalden khohmuen ah caempuei Yahovah Boeipa kah bitat ham a kosi hnopai te a poh coeng.
26 Come against her from the farthest border. Open her storehouses. Cast her up as heaps. Destroy her utterly. Let nothing of her be left.
Khobawt lamloh anih te paan laeh. A cangboh te ong lamtah, a canghlom bangla tul pah. Amah te thup uh lamtah a taengah a meet khaw om boel saeh.
27 Kill all her bulls. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
A vaito khaw boeih kaeh pah uh lamtah maeh la suntla uh saeh. Anunae amih aih te, amih a ngodoelh tue kah a khohnin ha pai coeng.
28 Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
Babylon khohmuen lamkah rhaelrham neh hlangyong rhoek ol loh Mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah tawnlohnah neh a bawkim kah tawnlohnah ni Zion ah a doek eh.
29 “Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
Lithen Babylon la yaak sakuh. Lii aka kap boeih loh a kaepvai ah rhaeh uh. A khuikah te rhalyong la om boel saeh. A khoboe bangla amah te thuung uh. Israel kah a cim BOEIPA taengah a lokhak dongah a saii boeih te a taengah saii uh.
30 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets. All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the LORD.
Te dongah a tongpang rhoek te a toltung ah cungku uh ni. Te khohnin ah anih kah caemtloek hlang boeih khaw kuemsuem uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
31 “Behold, I am against you, you proud one,” says the Lord, GOD of Hosts; “for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
He tah caempuei Yahovah ka Boeipa kah olphong ni. Nang taengah ka altha he khaw, nang kan cawh tue kah, na khohnin ha pawk coeng dongah ni.
32 The proud one will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up. I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are around him.”
Althanah te paloe vetih cungku ni. Anih aka thoh te om mahpawh. A khopuei ah hmai ka hlup vetih a kaepvai boeih a hlawp ni.
33 The LORD of Hosts says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All who took them captive hold them fast. They refuse to let them go.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel ca neh Judah ca te rhenten a hnaemtaek uh. Amih aka sol boeih loh amih te a parhaeng uh tih amih hlah ham a aal uh.
34 Their Redeemer is strong. The LORD of Hosts is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Amih aka tlan tah tlungluen tih a ming khaw caempuei Yahweh ni. Amih kah tuituknah te a oelh rhoe a oelh pah ni. Te daengah ni khohmuen te a hoep vetih Babylon khosa rhoek te a tlai sak eh.
35 “A sword is on the Kasdim,” says the LORD, “and on the inhabitants of Babylon, on her princes, and on her wise men.
BOEIPA olphong bangla cunghang te Khalden taeng neh Babylon khosa rhoek taengah, a mangpa rhoek taeng neh a hlangcueih rhoek taengah ka tueih ni.
36 A sword is on the boasters, and they will become fools. A sword is on her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
cunghang te olsai taengah ka tueih vetih nga uh ni. cunghang te a hlangrhalh rhoek taengah ka tueih vetih rhihyawp uh ni.
37 A sword is on their horses, on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her; and they will become as women. A sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.
Cunghang te a marhang taeng neh a leng taengah, a khui kah namcom boeih taengah ka tueih vetih huta bangla om uh ni. Cunghang tea thakvoh taengah ka tueih vetih a poelyoe uh ni.
38 A drought is on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they are mad over idols.
Te mueidaep khohmuen neh mueirhih dongah a yan uh te a tui sokah kholing loh a rhae bitni.
39 Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves will dwell there. The ostriches will dwell therein. It will be inhabited no more forever, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation.
Te dongah kohong sa-ui neh kho a sak uh vetih a khuiah tuirhuk vanu loh kho a sak ni. Te vaengah a yoeyah la khosa voel pawt vetih cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela khosa mahpawh.
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says the LORD, “so no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Pathen loh Sodom neh Gomorrah neh a imben rhoek imrhong- la a khueh bangla hlang loh khosa pawt vetih a khuiah hlang capa loh bakuep mahpawh.
41 “Behold, a people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Tlangpuei lamkah pilnam ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah diklai khobawt lamkah namtom pilnu neh maghai boeiping rhoek khaw haenghang uh.
42 They take up bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea. They ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.
Amih muenying muenyang loh lii neh soe a pom uh tih haidam uh pawh. A ol te tuipuei bangla kawk. Te phoeiah Babylon nu nang taengkah caemtloek ham te marhang dongah ngol uh tih hlang bangla rhong a pai.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
Amih kah olthang te Babylon manghai loh a yaak vaengah a kut khaw tahah coeng. Citcai loh anih te ca-om bangla bungtloh neh a kolek.
44 Behold, the enemy will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it. Whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it, for who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?”
Sathueng bangla Jordan kah mingthennah lamloh tangkuek tolkhoeng la cet. Amih te ka hoep vetih te lamloh ka yong rhoe ka yong sak ni. Anih aka coelh te khaw ka cawh ta. Kamah bangla unim aka om tih unim kai aka tuentah? He he unim aka dawn tih ka mikhmuh ah unim aka pai thai?
45 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes that he has purposed against the land of the Kasdim: Surely they will drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
Te dongah Babylon ham a uen BOEIPA kah cilsuep neh Khalden khohmuen ham a kopoek a moeh te hnatun uh. Boiva ca rhoek te a sol kuekluek pawt vetih a tolkhoeng ah pong kuekluek mahpawt nim?
46 The earth trembles at the noise of the taking of Babylon. The cry is heard among the nations.
Babylon a tuuk ol dongah diklai tuen vetih a pang te namtom lakli ah a yaak ni.
