< Jeremias 51 >

1 Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh, “Kitaem, mangparnuayakon iti angin a mangdadael iti Babilonia ken kadagiti agnanaed idiay Leb Kamai.
The LORD says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
2 Mangibaonakto kadagiti gangannaet idiay Babilonia. Waraen ken dadaelendanto ti daga ti Babilonia, ta darupendanto ti amin nga aglawlaw daytoy iti aldaw ti panangdaael.
I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her. They will empty her land; for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
3 Saanyo nga ipalubos nga ibiat dagiti pumapana dagiti panada; saanyo nga ipalubos nga isuotda dagiti kalasagda. Patayenyo dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ti Babilonia; dadaelenyo ti sibubukel nga armada daytoy.
Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow, also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail. Don’t spare her young men! Utterly destroy all her army!
4 Ta mapasagto dagiti nasugatan a tattao iti daga dagiti Caldeo; maidasayto dagiti natay kadagiti kalsadana.
They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
5 Ta ti Israel ken Juda ket saan a binaybay-an ti Diosda, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, nu man pay napnoan ti dagada kadagiti basol a naaramid maibusor iti Nasantoan ti Israel.
For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, by the LORD of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Aglibaskayo manipud iti Babilonia; isalakan koma ti tunggal maysa ti bagina. Saankayo koma a mapukaw gapu iti basolna. Ta daytoy ti aldaw a panangibales ni Yahweh. Aramidenna iti Babilonia ti rumbeng kenkuana.
“Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Everyone save his own life! Don’t be cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of the LORD’s vengeance. He will render to her a recompense.
7 Ti Babilonia ket kasla maysa a balitok a kopa iti ima ni Yahweh a nangbartek iti entero a daga; ininom dagiti nasion ti arakna ket nagmauyongda.
Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, who made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
8 Kellaatto a mapasag ti Babilonia ket madadaelto. Dung-awanyo isuna! Ikkanyo isuna iti agas para iti sakitna; bareng no mapaimbag isuna.
Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed! Wail for her! Take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may be healed.
9 Tinarigagayanmi a paimbagen ti Babilonia, ngem saan a napaimbag daytoy. Panawantayo amin daytoy ket agsublitayo iti dagatayo. Ta dimmanon ti basolna sadi langit; nagtutuon agingga kadagiti ulep.'
“We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let’s each go into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 'Imbaga ni Yahweh nga awan basoltayo. Umaykayo, ibagatayo idiay Sion dagiti aramid ni Yahweh a Diostayo.'
‘The LORD has produced our righteousness. Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.’
11 Asaenyo dagiti pana ken isuotyo dagiti kalasagyo. Tigtignayen ni Yahweh ti espiritu ti ari ti Media iti panggepna a mangdadael iti Babilonia. Ta daytoy ket para iti panangibales ni Yahweh, panangibales gapu iti pannakadadael ti templona.
“Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Mangingatokayo iti wagayway kadagiti pader ti Babilonia; mangikabilkayo kadagiti guardia. Mangipuestokayo kadagiti agbanbantay; paglemmengenyo dagiti soldado tapno matiliwda ti siasinoman nga agtaray manipud iti siudad, ta aramidento ni Yahweh ti pinanggepna. Aramidennanto ti inwaragawagna a maibusor kadagiti agnanaed iti Babilonia.
Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Dakayo a tattao nga agnanaed kadagiti igid ti waig, dakayo a tattao a baknang kadagiti gameng, dimtengen ti kalibusananyo. Napugsaten ti linas ti biagyo.
You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
14 Nagsapata ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana, 'Punoenkanto kadagiti kabusormo, a kasla kadagiti peste ti dudon; ket ippukkawdanto ti pukkaw no adda gubat maibusor kadakayo.'
The LORD of Armies has sworn by himself, saying, ‘Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they will lift up a shout against you.’
15 Pinarsuana ti daga babaen iti pannakabalinna; impasdekna ti lubong babaen iti siribna. Inyukradna dagiti langit babaen iti pannakaammona.
“He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
16 No paggurruodenna, adda iti danarudor ti danum kadagiti langit, ta iyegna ti angep kadagiti ungto ti daga. Pagkimatenna no kasta nga agtudo ken ibabaonna ti angin manipud kadagiti pangiduldulinanna.
When he utters his voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
17 Agbalin a kasla ayup nga awan ammona ti tunggal tao nga awan ammona, tunggal mammanday iti landok ket maibabain gapu kadagiti imahenna. Ta dagiti nasukogna nga imahen ket palso; awan ti biag dagitoy.
“Every man has become stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image, for his molten images are falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 Awan serserbida, aramid dagitoy dagiti manglalais; mapukawdanto iti tiempo iti pannakadusada.
They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
19 Ngem ti Dios, a pagdaydayawan ni Jacob, ket saan a kas kadagitoy, ta isuna ti tagasukog kadagiti amin a banbanag. Ti Israel ti tribu a tawidna; Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.
The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he formed all things, including the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.
20 Sika ti martiliok a panggubat, ti igamko a panggubat. Babaen kenka, burakekto dagiti nasion ken dadaelek dagiti pagarian.
“You are my battle ax and weapons of war. With you I will break the nations into pieces. With you I will destroy kingdoms.
21 Babaen kenka, burakekto dagiti kabalio ken dagiti mangsaksakay kadagitoy; babaen kenka burakekto dagiti karwahe ken dagiti mangiturturong kadagitoy.
With you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider.
22 Babaen kenka papatayekto ti tunggal lalaki ken babai; babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti lallakay ken ub-ubbing. Babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti bumarito ken dagiti birhen a babbai.
With you I will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein. With you I will break in pieces man and woman. With you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth. With you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin.
23 Babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti agpaspastor ken dagiti arbanda; babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti agar-arado ken dagiti bunggoyda. Babaen kenka papatayekto dagiti gobernador ken dagiti opisial.
With you I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock. With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke. With you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
24 Ta iti imatangmo, balsekto ti Babilonia ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Caldea gapu kadagiti amin a dakes nga inaramidda idiay Sion—daytoy ket pakaamo ni Yahweh.”
“I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says the LORD.
25 “Kitaem, maibusorak kenka, sika a bantay, a mangdadael kadagiti dadduma a tattao—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—a mangdadael iti entero a daga. Kabilenka babaen iti imak ket itinnagka kadagiti derraas. Ket pagbalinenkanto a bantay a naan-anay a napuoran.
“Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says the LORD, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned mountain.
26 Saandanto ngarud a makaala iti aniaman a bato a pangaramidda iti suli wenno adigi ti pasdek; gapu ta agnanayonkanto a nadadael—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
They won’t take a cornerstone from you, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever,” says the LORD.
27 Mangingatokayo iti wagayway iti lubong. Puyotanyo ti trumpeta kadagiti nasion. Isaganayo dagiti nasion a mangraut kenkuana. Ipadamagyo ti maipapan kenkuana kadagiti pagarian ti Ararat, Minni, ken Askenaz; mangdutokkayo iti mangidadaulo a mangraut iti daytoy; mangiyegkayo kadagiti kabalio a kasla kadagiti pangen dagiti dudon.
“Set 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 swarming locusts!
28 Isaadyo dagiti nasion a mangraut iti daytoy: dagiti ari ti Medes ken dagiti gobernadorna, dagiti amin nga opisialna ken dagiti amin a daga nga iturturayanna.
Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
29 Ta magunggonto ken agsanaang ti daga, agsipud ta agtuloy ti panggep ni Yahweh a maibusor iti Babilonia, a pagbalinenna a langalang ti Babilonia nga awan iti agnanaed.
The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
30 Nagsardengen a makigubat digiti soldado ti Babilonia, nagtalinaedda kadagiti sarikedkedda. Naibusen dagiti pigsada; nagbalindan a kasla babbai—Mapuppuoran dagiti babbalayna, nadadael dagiti landok a ruanganna.
The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they remain in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire. Her bars are broken.
31 Agtaray ti maysa a mensahero tapno ipadamagna iti sabali pay a mensahero, ken ibaga ti maysa a tumataray iti sabali pay a tumataray nga ipadamagna iti ari ti Babilonia a nasakupen ti entero a siudadna.
One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
32 Isu a nasakupen ti ababaw a paset ti karayan; pupuoran ti kabusor dagiti runruno, ken mariribukan dagiti mannakigubat a lallaki ti Babilonia.”
So the passages are seized. They have burned the reeds with fire. The men of war are frightened.”
33 “Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel: Ti anak a babai ti Babilonia ket kasla pagirikan. Tiempon iti panangibaddebaddek kenkuana. Iti mabiit, dumteng ti tiempo iti panangapit iti daytoy.
For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “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 comes for her.”
34 Kuna ti Jerusalem, 'Inalun-onnak ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia. Pinamagaannak ken inaramidnak nga awan naggianna a banga. Inalun-onnak a kasla dragon. Pinunnona ti tianna babaen iti naimas a taraonko. Imbellengna dagiti saanna a kayat manipud kaniak.' Kunaento dagiti agnanaed iti Sion,
“Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has, like a monster, swallowed me up. He has filled his mouth with my delicacies. He has cast me out.
35 'Agsubli koma iti Babilonia ti kinaranggas nga inaramidna kaniak ken iti pamiliak.' Kunaento ti Jerusalem, 'Agsubli koma kadagiti agnanaed idiay Caldea ti basol a gapu iti panagsayasay ti darak.'”
May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!” the inhabitant of Zion will say; and, “May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!” will Jerusalem say.
36 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaenyo, makitungtongakto iti maipanggep iti basolyo ken ibalsankayonto. Ta pagmagaekto dagiti danum ti Babilonia ken dagiti ubbogna.
Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
37 Agbalinto ti Babilonia a gabgabsuon iti naburak a bato, a pagnanaedan dagiti atap nga aso, maysa a banag a nakabutbuteng, maysa a banag a pagsakuntipan, nga awan ti agnanaed.
Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Agngerngerto dagiti taga-Babilonia a kasla kadagiti urbon a leon. Agngerngerda a kasla kadagiti uken a leon.
They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ cubs.
39 Inton pumudotda iti kinaagumda, agpadayaakto para kadakuada; bartekekto ida tapno agragsakda, kalpasanna ket makaturogda iti awan patinggana a pannaturog ket saandanton a makariing pay—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—
When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the LORD.
40 Ibaonkonto ida a bumaba a kasla kadagiti karnero iti pagpartian, a kasla kadagiti kalakian a karnero a kaddua dagiti kalakian a kalding.”
“I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41 “Anian ti pannakasakup ti Babilonia! Nagsardeng ngarud ti panagdaydayaw ti entero a daga. Anian ti panagbalin ti Babilonia a nadadael a lugar kadagiti nasion.
“How Sheshach is taken! How the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
42 Linapunos iti baybay ti Babilonia! Nalapunos daytoy kadagiti dumaranudor a dalluyon.
The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 Nagbalin a langalang dagiti siudad daytoy, maysa a namaga a daga ken let-ang, maysa a daga nga awan agnanaed, ken awan ti tao a lumablabas.
Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.
44 Dusaekto ngarud ni Bel idiay Babilonia; iruarkonto iti ngiwatna ti inalun-onna, ket saanton a mapan kenkuana dagiti nasion nga adda imetda a datdaton. Marbanto dagiti pader ti Babilonia.”
I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.
45 Rummuarkayo manipud kenkuana, dakayo a tattaok. Isalakan koma ti tunggal maysa kadakayo ti biagna manipud iti kinarungsot ti pungtotko.
“My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce anger.
46 Saan koma a maupay wenno agbuteng dagiti pusoyo kadagiti damag a mangngegyo iti daga, ta umayto dagiti damag iti makatawen. Kalpasan daytoy, iti sumaruno a tawen addanto dagiti damag, ket addanto kinaranggas iti daga. Agbibinnusorto dagiti mangiturturay.
Don’t let your heart faint. Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land. For news will come one year, and after that in another year news will come, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Ngarud, kitaenyo, umayto dagiti aldaw inton dusaek dagiti nakitikitan a didiosen ti Babilonia. Maibabainto ti entero a daga daytoy, ken maidasayto iti tengngana dagiti amin a napapatay.
Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded. All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
48 Ket agrag-onto ti langit ken ti daga, ken dagiti amin nga adda kadagitoy gapu iti Babilonia. Ta umayto dagiti mangdadael iti Babilonia manipud iti amianan—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says the LORD.
49 “Kas iti panangpasag ti Babilonia kadagiti napapatay iti Israel, mapasagto met idiay Babilonia dagiti amin a mapapatay kadagiti amin a daga daytoy.”
“As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
50 Dakayo a nakalasat iti kampilan, agtignaykayo! Saankayo nga agtalinaed. Lagipenyo ni Yahweh manipud iti adayo; lagipenyo koma ti Jerusalem.
You who have escaped the sword, go! Don’t stand still! Remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”
51 Naibabainkami, ta nakangngegkami kadagiti pananglalais; Inabbungan ti pannakaibabain dagiti rupami, ta nakastrek dagiti ganggannaet kadagiti nasantoan a lugar iti balay ni Yahweh.”
“We are confounded because we have heard reproach. Confusion has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.”
52 Ngarud, kitaenyo, dumtengen dagiti aldaw— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—inton dusaek dagiti nakitikitan a didiosen daytoy, ken agasugto dagiti nasugatan a tattao nga adda iti amin a dagana.
“Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
53 Ta uray no agpangato ti Babilonia kadagiti langit wenno patibkerenna dagiti kangangatoan a sarikedkedna, aggapunto kaniak dagiti mangdadael iti daytoy—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says the LORD.
54 Adda pukkaw gapu iti panagrigat a naggapu iti Babilonia, maysa a nakaro a pannakadadael iti daga dagiti Caldeo.
“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 Ta daddadaelen ni Yahweh ti Babilonia. Pukpukawenna ti napigsa a timek daytoy. Umarimbangaw dagiti kabusorda a kasla dalluyon iti adu a danum; pummigsa unay dagiti ringgorda.
For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.
56 Ta dimtengen dagiti mangdadadael a maibusor iti daytoy—maibusor iti Babilonia! —ken natiliwen dagiti mannakigubat daytoy. Natukkolen dagiti panada, ta ni Yahweh ti Dios ti panagibales; sigurado nga ipatungpalnan daytoy a panangsupapak.
For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.
57 “Ta bartekekto dagiti prinsipe, dagiti masirib, dagiti opisial, ken dagiti soldado daytoy, ket maturogdanto iti awan patinggana ken saandan a pulos a makariing —kastoy ti pakaammo ti Ari: Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.”
I will make her princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
58 kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Naan-anayto a marba dagiti napuskol a pader ti Babilonia, ken mapuoranto dagiti nangangato a ruangan daytoy. Ket awanto serserbi dagiti trabaho dagiti tattao nga umay tumulong iti daytoy; mapuoranto ti tunggal banag a padasen ti nasion nga aramiden para iti daytoy.”
The LORD of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burned with fire. The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
59 Daytoy ti sao nga imbilin ni profeta Jeremias kenni Seraias a putot a lalaki ni Nerias a putot a lalaki ni Maasaias idi kimmuyog isuna kenni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda a napan idiay Babilonia iti maikapat a tawen ti panagturayna. Ita ni Seraias ti panguloen nga opisial.
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 quartermaster.
60 Ta insurat ni Jeremias iti nalukot a pagbasaan ti maipanggep kadagiti amin a didigra nga umayto iti Babilonia—amin dagitoy a sasao a naisurat ket maipanggep iti Babilonia.
Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 Kinuna ni Jeremias kenni Seraias, “Inton mapanka idiay Babilonia, siguradoem a basaem amin dagitoy a sasao.
Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
62 Ket ibagamto, 'Yahweh, sika! —sika a mismo ti nangibaga a dadaelem daytoy a lugar. Awanto ti agnaed iti daytoy, dagiti tattao man wenno dagiti ayup. Agnanayonto daytoy nga agbalin a langalang.'
and say, ‘LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it will be desolate forever.’
63 Ket inton malpasmo a basaen daytoy a nalukot a pagbasaan, mangigalutka iti bato iti daytoy ket ipuruakmo iti tengnga ti Eufrates.
It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of the Euphrates.
64 Ibagam, 'Lumnedto ti Babilonia a kasla iti daytoy. Saanto a lumung-aw daytoy gapu iti didigra nga ibaonko a maibusor iti daytoy, ket mapasagdanto.”' Ditoy ti naggibusan dagiti sasao ni Jeremias.
Then you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
