Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1This is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will stir up against Babylon and against the people of Leb-kamai the spirit of a destroyer.
1LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru sie eng upa in tuhyak ac kunausla acn Babylonia ac mwet we.
2I will send strangers to Babylon to winnow her and empty her land; for they will come against her from every side in her day of disaster.
2Nga 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.
3Do not let the archer bend his bow or put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; devote all her army to destruction!
3Nikmet 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!
4And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.
4Elos ac fah kineta ac misa ke inkanek in siti selos.
5For Israel and Judah have not been abandoned by their God, the LORD of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel.”
5Oasr 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.
6Flee from Babylon! Escape with your lives! Do not be destroyed in her punishment. For this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; He will pay her what she deserves.
6Kaingla 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.
7Babylon was a gold cup in the hand of the LORD, making the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad.
7Babylonia el tuh oana sie cup gold inpouk, ac oru tuh faclu nufon sruhila. Mutunfacl pus numla wain nimal ac wella.
8Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her; get her balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
8Acn 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 tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Abandon her! Let each of us go to his own land, for her judgment extends to the sky and reaches to the clouds.”
9Mwetsac 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 has brought forth our vindication; come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has accomplished.”
10LEUM 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!”’
11Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because His plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the vengeance of the LORD— vengeance for His temple.
11LEUM 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!
12Raise a banner against the walls of Babylon; post the guard; station the watchmen; prepare the ambush. For the LORD has both devised and accomplished what He spoke against the people of Babylon.
12Kolak 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.
13You who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut.
13Pukanten infacl ac mwe kasrup in facl sac, tusruktu sun pacl in safla lal. Moul lun Babylonia ac wutiyukla na pwaye.
14The LORD of Hosts has sworn by Himself: “Surely I will fill you up with men as with locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you.”
14LEUM 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.
15The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.
15LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke ku lal; El oakiya faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ac El asroelik kusrao ke etu lal.
16When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
16Ke 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.
17Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.
17Ke 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.
18They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.
18Elos ma lusrongten ac fal in pilesreyuk. Elos ac fah kunausyukla pacl se LEUM GOD El tuku in nununkalos.
19The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and of the tribe of His inheritance— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
19God 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“You are My war club, My weapon for battle. With you I shatter nations; with you I bring kingdoms to ruin.
20LEUM GOD El fahk, “Babylonia, kom hammer nutik, kufwen mwe mweun nutik. Nga orekmakin kom in tuktukya mutunfacl ac tokosrai.
21With you I shatter the horse and rider; with you I shatter the chariot and driver.
21Keim nga kunausla horse ac mwet kasrusr fac, Nga kunausla chariot ac mwet kasrusr fac.
22With you I shatter man and woman; with you I shatter the old man and the youth; with you I shatter the young man and the maiden.
22Keim nga uniya mukul ac mutan, Nga akmuseya mwet matu ac mwet fusr, Nga uniya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
23With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock; with you I shatter the farmer and his oxen; with you I shatter the governors and officials.
23Keim 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.”
24Before your very eyes I will repay Babylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion,” declares the LORD.
24LEUM 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 you, O destroying mountain, you who devastate the whole earth, declares the LORD. I will stretch out My hand against you; I will roll you over the cliffs and turn you into a charred mountain.
25Babylonia, kom oana soko fineol ma kunausla faclu nufon, tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD , lain kom. Nga fah sruokkomi, aktupasrpasryekomla, ac filikomla in oan apatla.
26No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstone or a foundation stone, because you will become desolate forever,” declares the LORD.
26Wangin 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“Raise a banner in the land! Blow the ram’s horn among the nations! Prepare the nations against her. Summon the kingdoms against her— Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a captain against her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.
27“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.
28Prepare the nations for battle against her— the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their officials, and all the lands they rule.
28Akola 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.
29The earth quakes and writhes because the LORD’s intentions against Babylon stand: to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
29Faclu kusrusr ac rarrar mweyen LEUM GOD El akfahsrye pwapa lal in oru Babylonia in sie acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet fah muta we.
30The warriors of Babylon have stopped fighting; they sit in their strongholds. Their strength is exhausted; they have become like women. Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze, the bars of her gates are broken.
30Mwet 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.
31One courier races to meet another, and messenger follows messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city has been captured from end to end.
31Mwet utuk kas uh kasrusr atutafi ke pweng nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia, lah acn nukewa ke siti sel uh musalsalu.
32The fords have been seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers are terrified.”
32Mwet lokoalok elos sruokya acn in tupalla infacl uh, ac esukak pot ku nukewa lun acn we. Mwet mweun lun Babylonia elos arulana tuninfongla.
33For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “The Daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled. In just a little while her harvest time will come.”
33Ac 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“Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me; he has crushed me. He has set me aside like an empty vessel; he has swallowed me like a monster; he filled his belly with my delicacies and vomited me out.
34Tokosra 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.
35May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” says the dweller of Zion. “May my blood be on the dwellers of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
35Lela 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!”
36Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance on your behalf; I will dry up her sea and make her springs run dry.
36Na 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.
37Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant.
37Facl 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.
38They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.
38Mwet Babylonia nukewa ngutngut oana lion, ac kou oana lion fusr.
39While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they may revel; then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up, declares the LORD.
39Ya 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.
40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
40Nga fah usalosla in anwuki, oana sheep fusr, nani, ac sheep mukul. Nga, LEUM GOD , pa fahk ma inge.”
41How Sheshach has been captured! The praise of all the earth has been seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
41LEUM 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.
42The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered in turbulent waves.
42Noa ngirngir meoa uh toki nu fin Babylon ac afunla.
43Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and arid land, a land where no one lives, where no son of man passes through.
43Inkul ma apkuran nu we sikiyukla acn mwesisla, yen wangin mwet muta we ku forfor we.
44I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him spew out what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even the wall of Babylon will fall.
44Nga 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.
45Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD.
45Mwet Israel, kaing liki acn ingan! Kaing tuh kowos in moulla liki kasrkusrak lulap luk.
46Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid when the rumor is heard in the land; for a rumor will come one year— and then another the next year— of violence in the land and of ruler against ruler.
46Nimet 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.
47Therefore, behold, the days are coming when I will punish the idols of Babylon. Her entire land will suffer shame, and all her slain will lie fallen within her.
47Ke 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.
48Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon because the destroyers from the north will come against her,” declares the LORD.
48Ma 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“Babylon must fall on account of the slain of Israel, just as the slain of all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.
49Acn 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.”
50You who have escaped the sword, depart and do not linger! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come to mind.”
50LEUM 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; disgrace has covered our faces, because foreigners have entered the holy places of the LORD’s house.”
51Kowos 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 are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will groan.
52Ke 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.
53Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens and fortifies her lofty stronghold, the destroyers I send will come against her,” declares the LORD.
53Babylon 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 comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
54Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Lohng pusren tung in Babylon, Pusren mwemelil ke sripen sikiyukla facl sac.
55For the LORD will destroy Babylon; He will silence her mighty voice. The waves will roar like great waters; the tumult of their voices will resound.
55Inge 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.
56For a destroyer is coming against her— against Babylon. Her warriors will be captured, and their bows will be broken, for the LORD is a God of retribution; He will repay in full.
56Elos 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.
57I will make her princes and wise men drunk, along with her governors, officials, and warriors. Then they will fall asleep forever and not wake up,” declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
57Nga 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.
58This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Babylon’s thick walls will be leveled, and her high gates consumed by fire. So the labor of the people will be for nothing; the nations will exhaust themselves to fuel the flames.”
58Pot 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.”
59This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to the quartermaster Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.
59Seraiah, 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.
60Jeremiah had written on a single scroll about all the disaster that would come upon Babylon—all these words that had been written concerning Babylon.
60Nga simusla in book se ma nukewa ma ac sikyak ke ac kunanula acn Babylonia, oayapa mwe fahkak puspis saya ke acn we.
61And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud,
61Nga fahk nu sel Seraiah, “Pacl se kom ac sun acn Babylon, aklohya riti ma nukewa simla in book se inge mwet uh in lohng.
62and say, ‘O LORD, You have promised to cut off this place so that no one will remain—neither man nor beast. Indeed, it will be desolate forever.’
62Toko 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.’
63When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and cast it into the Euphrates.
63Seraiah, 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,
64Then you are to say, ‘In the same way Babylon will sink and never rise again, because of the disaster I will bring upon her. And her people will grow weary.’” Here end the words of Jeremiah.
64ac 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.
