1940 Bulgarian Bible
51 Така казва Господ: Ето, Аз повдигам разрушителен вятър против Вавилон И против ония, които живеят всред разбунтувалите се против Мене.
2 И ще изпратя върху Вавилон веячи, Които ще го отвеят; и ще оголят земята му, Защото в деня на злощастието ще бъдат отвред против него.
3 Стрелец срещу стрелец нека запъва лъка си, И срещу онзи, който се големее с бронята си; Не жалете младежите му, Обречете на изтребление цялата му войска.
4 Ще паднат убити в Халдейската земя, И прободени по улиците <на градовете> й.
5 Защото нито Израил, нито Юда е оставен От своя Бог, от Господа на Силите, Ако и да е пълна земята им с беззаконие Против Светия Израилев.
6 Бягайте отсред Вавилон Та отървете всеки живота си; Да не загинете в беззаконието му: Защото е време за въздаяние от Господа, Който ще му отдаде отплата.
7 В ръката Господна Вавилон е бил златна чаша, Която опиваше целия свят; От виното му пиеха народите, Затова народите избезумяха.
8 Внезапно падна Вавилон и се разруши; Лелекайте за него; Вземете балсама за раната му Негли се изцели.
9 Опитахме се да целим Вавилон, но не се изцели; Оставете го, и нека отидем всеки в страната си, Защото присъдата му стигна до небето, И се възвиси дори до облаците.
10 Господ изяви правдата ни; Дойдете и нека прикажем в Сион Делото на Господа нашия Бог.
11 Изострете стрелите, дръжте здраво щитовете; Господ възбуди духа на мидийските царе, Защото намерението Му против Вавилон е да го изтреби; Понеже това е въздаянието от Господа, Въздаяние за храма Му.
12 Издигнете знаме против вавилонските стени, Усилете стражата, поставете стражари, Пригответе засади; Защото Господ намисли и ще извърши онова, Което изрече против вавилонските жители.
13 О ти, който живееш край много води, Който изобилваш със съкровища, Краят ти дойде, Границата на сребролюбието ти.
14 Господ на Силите се е клел в Себе Си, <и рекъл>: Непременно ще те напълня с <неприятелски> мъже като със скакалци, Които ще подигнат <боен> вик против тебе.
15 Той е, Който направи земята със силата Си, Утвърди света с мъдростта Си, И разпростря небето с разума Си.
16 Когато издава гласа Си, водите на небето шумят, И Той издига пари от краищата на земята; Прави светкавици за дъжда, И изважда вятър от съкровищата Си.
17 Всеки човек е твърде скотски, за да знае; Всеки златар се посрамва от кумира си, Защото леяното от него е лъжа, В което няма дишане.
18 Суета са те, дело на заблуда; Във времето на наказанието си ще загинат.
19 <Онзи Който е> делът на Якова не е като тях, Защото Той е Създател на всичко, И <Израил> е племето, което е наследството Му; Господ на Силите е името Му.
20 Ти си Ми бойна секира, оръжие за война; И чрез тебе ще смажа народи; Чрез тебе ще изтребя царства;
21 Чрез тебе ще смажа коня и конника; И чрез тебе ще строша колесницата и седящия на нея;
22 Чрез тебе ще смажа мъж и жена; Чрез тебе ще смажа стар и млад; И чрез тебе ще смажа младеж и девица;
23 Чрез тебе ще смажа овчар и стадото му; Чрез тебе ще смажа земеделец и неговия чифт <волове>; И чрез тебе ще смажа управители и началници.
24 И ще въздам на Вавилон И на всичките халдейски жители За всичкото зло, което сториха на Сион Пред вашите очи, казва Господ.
25 Ето, Аз съм против тебе, планина разорителна, казва Господ, Която разоряваш целия свят; Ще простра ръката Си върху тебе И ще те изрина от скалите, И ще те направя изгорена планина.
26 Няма да вземат от тебе камък за ъгъл, Нито камък за основи; Но ще бъдеш вечно пуста, казва Господ.
27 Издигнете знаме в страната, Затръбете между народите, Пригответе против нея народите; Свикайте против нея царствата На Арарат, на Мини и на Асханаз; Поставете над нея уредник; Докарайте коне като бодливи скакалци.
28 Пригответе против нея народите, Мидийските царе, управителите им, всичките им началници, И цялата подвластна на тях земя.
29 Земята се тресе и измъчва; Защото намеренията на Господа против Вавилон ще се изпълнят, За да направи Вавилонската земя необитаема пустиня.
30 Юнаците на Вавилон престанаха да воюват, Останаха в укрепленията си; Силата им изчезна; станаха като жени; Изгориха жилищата му, Лостовете му са строшени.
31 Скороходец ще тича да посрещне скороходец, И вестител да посрещне вестител, За да известят на вавилонския цар, Че градът му се превзе от всеки край,
32 И че бродовете са завзети с изненада, Тръсталаците изгорени с огън, И военните мъже разтреперани.
33 Защото така казва Господ на Силите, Израилевият Бог: Вавилонската дъщеря е като гумно, Когато е време да се вършее; Още малко и ще дойде времето на жетвата й.
34 Вавилонският цар Навуходоносор ме изяде, Смаза ме, направи ме празен съд, Погълна ме като змия, Напълни корема си с моите сладки неща, И мене оттласна.
35 Неправдата сторена на мене и на моя род {Еврейски: Моята плът.} <Нека падне> върху Вавилон, Ще рече жителката на Сион; и: Кръвта ми <нека падне> върху жителите на Халдея, Ще рече Ерусалим.
36 Затова, така казва Господ: Ето, Аз ще се застъпя за делото ти, И ще извърша въздаяние за тебе; Ще обърна реката {Еврейски: Морето.} на <Вавилон> в суша, И ще пресуша извора му.
37 Вавилон ще стане грамади, Жилище на чакали, За учудване и подсвиркване, Необитаем.
38 Ще рикаят заедно като лъвчета, Ще реват като малки лъвчета.
39 Когато се разгорещят, Аз ще им направя пиршество, И ще ги опия, за да се развеселят, И да заспят вечен сън, от който да се не събудят, Казва Господ.
40 Ще ги сваля като агнета за клане, Като овни с козли.
41 Как се превзе Сесах, И се изненада славата на целия свят! Как стана Вавилон за учудване между народите!
42 Морето се подигна против Вавилон; Покрит биде под многото му вълни.
43 Градовете му станаха пустота, Безводна земя и пустиня, Земя, в която не живее никой човек, Нито минава през нея човешки син.
44 Аз ще накажа Вила във Вавилон, И ще извадя от устата му това, което е погълнал; Народите няма да се съберат вече при него; И самата вавилонска стена ще падне.
45 Люде Мои, излезте изсред него, И спасете всеки от вас себе си От пламенния гняв Господен.
46 Да не ослабне сърцето ви, нито да се уплашите От вестта, която ще се чуе в <тая> земя; Защото една година ще дойде слух, А подир това друга година <ще дойде> слух И насилие на страната, властител против властител.
47 Затова, ето, идат дни, Когато ще извърша съд върху идолите на Вавилон; И цялата му земя ще се посрами, Като паднат всичките негови всред него убити.
48 Тогава небесата и земята и всичко що е в тях Ще възкликнат над Вавилон; Защото изтребителите ще дойдат против него от север, казва Господ.
49 Както Вавилон направи да паднат Израилевите убити, Така <и> във Вавилон ще паднат убитите на цялата страна.
50 Вие, избягнали от ножа, идете, не стойте; Помнете Господа от далеч, И нека дойде Ерусалим на ума ви.
51 Засрамихме се, защото чухме укор; Срам покри лицето ни, Понеже чужденци влязоха в светилищата на дома Господен.
52 Затова, ето, идат дни, казва Господ, Когато ще извърша съд върху идолите му, И смъртно ранените ще охкат по цялата му земя.
53 Ако Вавилон би се издигнал и до небето И утвърдил на високо силата си, Пак ще дойдат от Мене изтребители върху него, казва Господ.
54 Глас на вопъл от Вавилон, И на голямо разрушение от Халдейската земя!
55 Защото Господ изтребва Вавилон, И премахва от него големия шум; Защото техните вълни бучат като много води, И екотът на гласа им се чува;
56 Защото изтребителят дойде върху него, да! върху Вавилон, И юнаците му се хванаха, Лъковете им се строшиха; Понеже Господ е Бог, Който въздава, И непременно ще въздаде.
57 Аз ще опия първенците му и мъдрите му, Управителите му, началниците му и юнаците му; Те ще заспят вечен сън, от който няма да се събудят, Казва Царят, чието име е Господ на Силите.
58 Така казва Господ на Силите: Широките стени на Вавилон съвсем ще се съборят, И високите му порти ще се изгорят с огън; Племената <му> суетно ще се трудят, И народите <му само да се предадат> на огъня и да се изморят.
59 Заповедта, която пророк Еремия даде на Сараия, син на Нирия, Маасиевия син, когато отиваше с Юдовия цар Седекия във Вавилон в четвъртата година от царуването му. А Сараия бе главен постелник.
60 Еремия написа в една книга всичките злини, които щяха да сполетят Вавилон, <именно>, всичките думи написани <по-горе> против Вавилон.
61 И Еремия рече на Сараия: Когато отидеш у Вавилон, гледай да прочетеш всички тия думи
62 и да речеш: Господи, Ти си изрекъл против това място <присъда>, че ще го изтребиш, та да няма кой да живее в него, ни човек ни животно, но да е вечно пусто.
63 И като изчетеш тая книга, вържи на нея камък и хвърли я всред Евфрат, и кажи:
64 Така ще потъне Вавилон и няма пак да се издигне, поради злото, което Аз ще докарам върху него, <от което> те и ще се изтощят. До тук са думите на Еремия.

Reina-Valera 1960
Juicios de Jehová contra Babilonia
51 Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que yo levanto un viento destruidor contra Babilonia, y contra sus moradores que se levantan contra mí. 2 Y enviaré a Babilonia aventadores que la avienten, y vaciarán su tierra; porque se pondrán contra ella de todas partes en el día del mal. 3 Diré al flechero que entesa su arco, y al que se enorgullece de su coraza: No perdonéis a sus jóvenes, destruid todo su ejército. 4 Y caerán muertos en la tierra de los caldeos, y alanceados en sus calles. 5 Porque Israel y Judá no han enviudado de su Dios, Jehová de los ejércitos, aunque su tierra fue llena de pecado contra el Santo de Israel.
6 Huid de en medio de Babilonia, y librad cada uno su vida, para que no perezcáis a causa de su maldad; porque el tiempo es de venganza de Jehová; le dará su pago. 7 Copa de oro fue Babilonia en la mano de Jehová, que embriagó a toda la tierra; de su vino bebieron los pueblos;(A) se aturdieron, por tanto, las naciones. 8 En un momento cayó Babilonia, y se despedazó; gemid sobre ella; tomad bálsamo para su dolor, quizá sane. 9 Curamos a Babilonia, y no ha sanado; dejadla, y vámonos cada uno a su tierra; porque ha llegado hasta el cielo su juicio,(B) y se ha alzado hasta las nubes. 10 Jehová sacó a luz nuestras justicias; venid, y contemos en Sion la obra de Jehová nuestro Dios.
11 Limpiad las saetas, embrazad los escudos; ha despertado Jehová el espíritu de los reyes de Media; porque contra Babilonia es su pensamiento para destruirla; porque venganza es de Jehová, y venganza de su templo. 12 Levantad bandera sobre los muros de Babilonia, reforzad la guardia, poned centinelas, disponed celadas; porque deliberó Jehová, y aun pondrá en efecto lo que ha dicho contra los moradores de Babilonia. 13 Tú, la que moras entre muchas aguas,(C) rica en tesoros, ha venido tu fin, la medida de tu codicia. 14 Jehová de los ejércitos juró por sí mismo, diciendo: Yo te llenaré de hombres como de langostas, y levantarán contra ti gritería.
15 Él es el que hizo la tierra con su poder, el que afirmó el mundo con su sabiduría, y extendió los cielos con su inteligencia. 16 A su voz se producen tumultos de aguas en los cielos, y hace subir las nubes de lo último de la tierra; él hace relámpagos con la lluvia, y saca el viento de sus depósitos. 17 Todo hombre se ha infatuado, y no tiene ciencia; se avergüenza todo artífice de su escultura, porque mentira es su ídolo, no tiene espíritu. 18 Vanidad son, obra digna de burla; en el tiempo del castigo perecerán. 19 No es como ellos la porción de Jacob; porque él es el Formador de todo, e Israel es el cetro de su herencia; Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre.
20 Martillo me sois, y armas de guerra; y por medio de ti quebrantaré naciones, y por medio de ti destruiré reinos. 21 Por tu medio quebrantaré caballos y a sus jinetes, y por medio de ti quebrantaré carros y a los que en ellos suben. 22 Asimismo por tu medio quebrantaré hombres y mujeres, y por medio de ti quebrantaré viejos y jóvenes, y por tu medio quebrantaré jóvenes y vírgenes. 23 También quebrantaré por medio de ti al pastor y a su rebaño; quebrantaré por tu medio a labradores y a sus yuntas; a jefes y a príncipes quebrantaré por medio de ti.
24 Y pagaré a Babilonia y a todos los moradores de Caldea, todo el mal que ellos hicieron en Sion delante de vuestros ojos, dice Jehová. 25 He aquí yo estoy contra ti, oh monte destruidor, dice Jehová, que destruiste toda la tierra; y extenderé mi mano contra ti, y te haré rodar de las peñas, y te reduciré a monte quemado. 26 Y nadie tomará de ti piedra para esquina, ni piedra para cimiento; porque perpetuo asolamiento serás, ha dicho Jehová.
27 Alzad bandera en la tierra, tocad trompeta en las naciones, preparad pueblos contra ella; juntad contra ella los reinos de Ararat, de Mini y de Askenaz; señalad contra ella capitán, haced subir caballos como langostas erizadas. 28 Preparad contra ella naciones; los reyes de Media, sus capitanes y todos sus príncipes, y todo territorio de su dominio. 29 Temblará la tierra, y se afligirá; porque es confirmado contra Babilonia todo el pensamiento de Jehová, para poner la tierra de Babilonia en soledad, para que no haya morador en ella. 30 Los valientes de Babilonia dejaron de pelear, se encerraron en sus fortalezas; les faltaron las fuerzas, se volvieron como mujeres; incendiadas están sus casas, rotos sus cerrojos. 31 Correo se encontrará con correo, mensajero se encontrará con mensajero, para anunciar al rey de Babilonia que su ciudad es tomada por todas partes. 32 Los vados fueron tomados, y los baluartes quemados a fuego, y se consternaron los hombres de guerra. 33 Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: La hija de Babilonia es como una era cuando está de trillar; de aquí a poco le vendrá el tiempo de la siega.
34 Me devoró, me desmenuzó Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y me dejó como vaso vacío; me tragó como dragón, llenó su vientre de mis delicadezas, y me echó fuera. 35 Sobre Babilonia caiga la violencia hecha a mí y a mi carne, dirá la moradora de Sion; y mi sangre caiga sobre los moradores de Caldea, dirá Jerusalén. 36 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que yo juzgo tu causa y haré tu venganza; y secaré su mar, y haré que su corriente quede seca. 37 Y será Babilonia montones de ruinas, morada de chacales, espanto y burla, sin morador.
38 Todos a una rugirán como leones; como cachorros de leones gruñirán. 39 En medio de su calor les pondré banquetes, y haré que se embriaguen, para que se alegren, y duerman eterno sueño y no despierten, dice Jehová. 40 Los haré traer como corderos al matadero, como carneros y machos cabríos.
41 ¡Cómo fue apresada Babilonia, y fue tomada la que era alabada por toda la tierra! ¡Cómo vino a ser Babilonia objeto de espanto entre las naciones! 42 Subió el mar sobre Babilonia; de la multitud de sus olas fue cubierta. 43 Sus ciudades fueron asoladas, la tierra seca y desierta, tierra en que no morará nadie, ni pasará por ella hijo de hombre. 44 Y juzgaré a Bel en Babilonia, y sacaré de su boca lo que se ha tragado; y no vendrán más naciones a él, y el muro de Babilonia caerá.
45 Salid de en medio de ella, pueblo mío, y salvad cada uno su vida del ardor de la ira de Jehová. 46 Y no desmaye vuestro corazón, ni temáis a causa del rumor que se oirá por la tierra; en un año vendrá el rumor, y después en otro año rumor, y habrá violencia en la tierra, dominador contra dominador.
47 Por tanto, he aquí vienen días en que yo destruiré los ídolos de Babilonia, y toda su tierra será avergonzada, y todos sus muertos caerán en medio de ella. 48 Los cielos y la tierra y todo lo que está en ellos cantarán de gozo sobre Babilonia;(D) porque del norte vendrán contra ella destruidores, dice Jehová. 49 Por los muertos de Israel caerá Babilonia, como por Babilonia cayeron los muertos de toda la tierra.(E)
50 Los que escapasteis de la espada, andad, no os detengáis; acordaos por muchos días de Jehová, y acordaos de Jerusalén. 51 Estamos avergonzados, porque oímos la afrenta; la confusión cubrió nuestros rostros, porque vinieron extranjeros contra los santuarios de la casa de Jehová.
52 Por tanto, vienen días, dice Jehová, en que yo destruiré sus ídolos, y en toda su tierra gemirán los heridos. 53 Aunque suba Babilonia hasta el cielo, y se fortifique en las alturas, de mí vendrán a ella destruidores, dice Jehová.
54 ¡Óyese el clamor de Babilonia, y el gran quebrantamiento de la tierra de los caldeos! 55 Porque Jehová destruirá a Babilonia, y quitará de ella la mucha jactancia; y bramarán sus olas, y como sonido de muchas aguas será la voz de ellos. 56 Porque vino destruidor contra ella, contra Babilonia, y sus valientes fueron apresados; el arco de ellos fue quebrado; porque Jehová, Dios de retribuciones, dará la paga. 57 Y embriagaré a sus príncipes y a sus sabios, a sus capitanes, a sus nobles y a sus fuertes; y dormirán sueño eterno y no despertarán, dice el Rey, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos.
58 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: El muro ancho de Babilonia será derribado enteramente, y sus altas puertas serán quemadas a fuego; en vano trabajaron los pueblos, y las naciones se cansaron solo para el fuego.
59 Palabra que envió el profeta Jeremías a Seraías hijo de Nerías, hijo de Maasías, cuando iba con Sedequías rey de Judá a Babilonia, en el cuarto año de su reinado. Y era Seraías el principal camarero. 60 Escribió, pues, Jeremías en un libro todo el mal que había de venir sobre Babilonia, todas las palabras que están escritas contra Babilonia. 61 Y dijo Jeremías a Seraías: Cuando llegues a Babilonia, y veas y leas todas estas cosas, 62 dirás: Oh Jehová, tú has dicho contra este lugar que lo habías de destruir, hasta no quedar en él morador, ni hombre ni animal, sino que para siempre ha de ser asolado. 63 Y cuando acabes de leer este libro, le atarás una piedra, y lo echarás en medio del Éufrates, 64 y dirás: Así se hundirá Babilonia, y no se levantará(F) del mal que yo traigo sobre ella; y serán rendidos.
Hasta aquí son las palabras de Jeremías.
Jeremiah 51
King James Version
Jeremiah 51
King James Version
51 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
2 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
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.
10 The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
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 his rider;
22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 I will also break in pieces with thee 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 captains and rulers.
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.
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.
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.
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 Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
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 at one end,
32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
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 belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
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 springs dry.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
39 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
44 And I will punish 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.
45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.
46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord.
49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.
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.
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.
54 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55 Because the Lord hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite.
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
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:
64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 51
New International Version
Jeremiah 51
New International Version
51 This is what the Lord says:
“See, I will stir(A) up the spirit of a destroyer
against Babylon(B) and the people of Leb Kamai.[a]
2 I will send foreigners(C) to Babylon
to winnow(D) her and to devastate her land;
they will oppose her on every side
in the day(E) of her disaster.
3 Let not the archer string his bow,(F)
nor let him put on his armor.(G)
Do not spare her young men;
completely destroy[b] her army.
4 They will fall(H) down slain in Babylon,[c]
fatally wounded in her streets.(I)
5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken(J)
by their God, the Lord Almighty,
though their land[d] is full of guilt(K)
before the Holy One of Israel.
6 “Flee(L) from Babylon!
Run for your lives!
Do not be destroyed because of her sins.(M)
It is time(N) for the Lord’s vengeance;(O)
he will repay(P) her what she deserves.
7 Babylon was a gold cup(Q) in the Lord’s hand;
she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
therefore they have now gone mad.
8 Babylon will suddenly fall(R) and be broken.
Wail over her!
Get balm(S) for her pain;
perhaps she can be healed.
9 “‘We would have healed Babylon,
but she cannot be healed;
let us leave(T) her and each go to our own land,
for her judgment(U) reaches to the skies,
it rises as high as the heavens.’
11 “Sharpen the arrows,(X)
take up the shields!(Y)
The Lord has stirred up the kings(Z) of the Medes,(AA)
because his purpose(AB) is to destroy Babylon.
The Lord will take vengeance,(AC)
vengeance for his temple.(AD)
12 Lift up a banner(AE) against the walls of Babylon!
Reinforce the guard,
station the watchmen,(AF)
prepare an ambush!(AG)
The Lord will carry out his purpose,(AH)
his decree against the people of Babylon.
13 You who live by many waters(AI)
and are rich in treasures,(AJ)
your end has come,
the time for you to be destroyed.(AK)
14 The Lord Almighty has sworn by himself:(AL)
I will surely fill you with troops, as with a swarm of locusts,(AM)
and they will shout(AN) in triumph over you.
15 “He made the earth by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom(AO)
and stretched(AP) out the heavens by his understanding.(AQ)
16 When he thunders,(AR) the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning with the rain(AS)
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(AT)
17 “Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(AU)
they have no breath in them.
18 They are worthless,(AV) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
19 He who is the Portion(AW) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,
including the people of his inheritance(AX)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.
20 “You are my war club,(AY)
my weapon for battle—
with you I shatter(AZ) nations,(BA)
with you I destroy kingdoms,
21 with you I shatter horse and rider,(BB)
with you I shatter chariot(BC) and driver,
22 with you I shatter man and woman,
with you I shatter old man and youth,
with you I shatter young man and young woman,(BD)
23 with you I shatter shepherd and flock,
with you I shatter farmer and oxen,
with you I shatter governors and officials.(BE)
24 “Before your eyes I will repay(BF) Babylon(BG) and all who live in Babylonia[e] for all the wrong they have done in Zion,” declares the Lord.
25 “I am against(BH) you, you destroying mountain,
you who destroy the whole earth,”(BI)
declares the Lord.
“I will stretch out my hand(BJ) against you,
roll you off the cliffs,
and make you a burned-out mountain.(BK)
26 No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone,
nor any stone for a foundation,
for you will be desolate(BL) forever,”
declares the Lord.
27 “Lift up a banner(BM) in the land!
Blow the trumpet among the nations!
Prepare the nations for battle against her;
summon against her these kingdoms:(BN)
Ararat,(BO) Minni and Ashkenaz.(BP)
Appoint a commander against her;
send up horses like a swarm of locusts.(BQ)
28 Prepare the nations for battle against her—
the kings of the Medes,(BR)
their governors and all their officials,
and all the countries they rule.(BS)
29 The land trembles(BT) and writhes,
for the Lord’s purposes(BU) against Babylon stand—
to lay waste(BV) the land of Babylon
so that no one will live there.(BW)
30 Babylon’s warriors(BX) have stopped fighting;
they remain in their strongholds.
Their strength is exhausted;
they have become weaklings.(BY)
Her dwellings are set on fire;(BZ)
the bars(CA) of her gates are broken.
31 One courier(CB) follows another
and messenger follows messenger
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his entire city is captured,(CC)
32 the river crossings seized,
the marshes set on fire,(CD)
and the soldiers terrified.(CE)”
33 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
“Daughter Babylon(CF) is like a threshing floor(CG)
at the time it is trampled;
the time to harvest(CH) her will soon come.(CI)”
34 “Nebuchadnezzar(CJ) king of Babylon has devoured(CK) us,(CL)
he has thrown us into confusion,
he has made us an empty jar.
Like a serpent he has swallowed us
and filled his stomach with our delicacies,
and then has spewed(CM) us out.
35 May the violence(CN) done to our flesh[f] be on Babylon,”
say the inhabitants of Zion.
“May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia,”
says Jerusalem.(CO)
36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“See, I will defend your cause(CP)
and avenge(CQ) you;
I will dry up(CR) her sea
and make her springs dry.
37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
a haunt(CS) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,(CT)
a place where no one lives.(CU)
38 Her people all roar like young lions,(CV)
they growl like lion cubs.
39 But while they are aroused,
I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,(CW)
so that they shout with laughter—
then sleep forever(CX) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.(CY)
40 “I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.(CZ)
41 “How Sheshak[g](DA) will be captured,(DB)
the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate(DC) Babylon will be
among the nations!
42 The sea will rise over Babylon;
its roaring waves(DD) will cover her.
43 Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert(DE) land,
a land where no one lives,
through which no one travels.(DF)
44 I will punish Bel(DG) in Babylon
and make him spew out(DH) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
And the wall(DI) of Babylon will fall.
45 “Come out(DJ) of her, my people!
Run(DK) for your lives!
Run from the fierce anger(DL) of the Lord.
46 Do not lose heart(DM) or be afraid(DN)
when rumors(DO) are heard in the land;
one rumor comes this year, another the next,
rumors of violence in the land
and of ruler against ruler.
47 For the time will surely come
when I will punish the idols(DP) of Babylon;
her whole land will be disgraced(DQ)
and her slain will all lie fallen within her.(DR)
48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
will shout(DS) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north(DT)
destroyers(DU) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.
49 “Babylon must fall because of Israel’s slain,
just as the slain in all the earth
have fallen because of Babylon.(DV)
50 You who have escaped the sword,
leave(DW) and do not linger!
Remember(DX) the Lord in a distant land,(DY)
and call to mind Jerusalem.”
51 “We are disgraced,(DZ)
for we have been insulted
and shame covers our faces,
because foreigners have entered
the holy places of the Lord’s house.”(EA)
52 “But days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will punish her idols,(EB)
and throughout her land
the wounded will groan.(EC)
53 Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens(ED)
and fortifies her lofty stronghold,
I will send destroyers(EE) against her,”
declares the Lord.
54 “The sound of a cry(EF) comes from Babylon,
the sound of great destruction(EG)
from the land of the Babylonians.[h]
55 The Lord will destroy Babylon;
he will silence(EH) her noisy din.
Waves(EI) of enemies will rage like great waters;
the roar of their voices will resound.
56 A destroyer(EJ) will come against Babylon;
her warriors will be captured,
and their bows will be broken.(EK)
For the Lord is a God of retribution;
he will repay(EL) in full.
57 I will make her officials(EM) and wise(EN) men drunk,(EO)
her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep(EP) forever and not awake,”
declares the King,(EQ) whose name is the Lord Almighty.
58 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Babylon’s thick wall(ER) will be leveled
and her high gates(ES) set on fire;
the peoples(ET) exhaust(EU) themselves for nothing,
the nations’ labor is only fuel for the flames.”(EV)
59 This is the message Jeremiah the prophet gave to the staff officer Seraiah son of Neriah,(EW) the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with Zedekiah(EX) king of Judah in the fourth(EY) year of his reign. 60 Jeremiah had written on a scroll(EZ) about all the disasters that would come upon Babylon—all that had been recorded concerning Babylon. 61 He said to Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud. 62 Then say, ‘Lord, you have said you will destroy this place, so that neither people nor animals will live in it; it will be desolate(FA) forever.’ 63 When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates.(FB) 64 Then say, ‘So will Babylon sink to rise no more(FC) because of the disaster I will bring on her. And her people(FD) will fall.’”(FE)
The words of Jeremiah end(FF) here.
