Jeremia 46
1 Ma e wach Jehova Nyasaye mane obirone janabi Jeremia kuom ogendini:
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2 Kuom Misri: Ma e ote ne jolwenj Farao Neko ruodh Misri, mane oloo Karkemish e Aora mar Yufrate gi Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon e higa mar angʼwen mar Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda:
Of Egypt, concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
3 “Ikuru okumba magu, madongo kod matindo, kendo uwuog udhi e kedo!
Prepare ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Gauru farese, idhuru farese! Kawuru kereu kurwako oguteu mag lweny! Piaguru tongeu, rwakuru okumba mau!
Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets. Furbish the spears. Put on the coats of mail.
5 En angʼo ma aneno? Kihondko ogoyogi, kendo giringo ka gia kar lweny nikech thuondi mag-gi mag lweny oselo. Giringo ka luoro omakogi ma ok gingʼi ngʼegi, kendo gin-gi luoro malich koni gi koni,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and have turned backward. And their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and do not look back. Terror is on every side, says Jehovah.
6 “Joma yot ok nyal ringo kata joma otegno ok nyal tony. E yo nyandwat but Aora Yufrate gichwanyore kendo gipodho.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
7 “Ma en ngʼa magingore ka aora Nael kendo mana ka aore ma pigegi bubni?
Who is this that rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?
8 Misri bubni ka aora Nael kendo mana ka aore ma pigegi bubni. Owacho ni, ‘Abiro gingora kendo anapongʼ piny; anaketh mier madongo kod ji modakie.’
Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers. And he says, I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Wuoguru, yaye farese! Yaye, un joriemb geche, riembgiuru matek! Dhiuru nyime, yaye un jolweny machwo moa Kush, gi Put motingʼo okumbini, kaachiel gi chwo Lidia maywayo atungʼ.
Go up, ye horses, and rage, ye chariots. And let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield, and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
10 To odiechiengno en mar Ruoth, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma en odiechiengʼ, ma ochuloe kuor ni wasike. Ligangla noneki nyaka owinj ni orome, kendo nyaka otiek riyo mare gi remo. Nimar Ruoth, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, nochiw misango e piny mantie yo nyandwat but Aora Yufrate.
For that day is a day of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries. And the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood, for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 “Dhiyo nyaka Gilead kendo imany yath, yaye Nyar Misri Mangili. To kata obedo ni imedo manyo yedhe to imenyo kayiem kendo ok inichangi.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt. In vain do thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee.
12 Ogendini nowinj wichkuot momaki; ywakni nopongʼ piny. Jolweny nochwanyre kuom moro ka moro; giduto ginipodhi kanyakla.”
The nations have heard of thy shame, and the earth is full of thy cry. For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty; they are fallen, both of them together.
13 Ma e ote mane Jehova Nyasaye owachone Jeremia janabi kuom biro Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon mondo omonj Misri:
The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
14 “Land wachni e piny Misri, kendo igo milome e Migdol; Memfis gi Tapanhes ni: ‘Kawuru kereu kendo ikreuru, nimar ligangla nego jogo molwori.’
Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes. Say ye, Stand forth, and prepare thee, for the sword has devoured round about thee.
15 En angʼo momiyo jolweny magu opie piny? Ok ginyal chungʼ, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nolwargi piny.
Why are thy strong ones swept away? They stood not, because Jehovah drove them.
16 Ginichwanyre moluwore oluwore; giniluowre kuom jowetegi. Giniwachi ni, ‘Aa malo, wadog ir jowa wawegi; kendo e pinywa owuon, mabor gi ligangla mar joma thiro ji.’
He made many to stumble, yea, they fell one upon another. And they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 E kanyono giniwach ni, ‘Farao ruodh Misri en mana jakoko matek, nikech thuolo mane en-go nobaye.’”
They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by.
18 Ruoth wacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ngʼato achiel nobi machalo gi Tabor e dier gode, kata ka Got Karmel mantie but nam.
As I live, says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 Pang gigi mar dhiyoe twech, un joma odak Misri, nimar Memfis nowe gunda, kendo tieke chuth maonge ngʼama nodagie.”
O thou daughter who dwells in Egypt, prepare thyself to go into captivity. For Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
20 “Misri en nyaroya maber neno, to kalabugo birone koa yo nyandwat.
Egypt is a very fair heifer, but destruction out of the north has come, it has come.
21 Jolweny mondiki chal gi nyiroye machwe. Gin bende ginilokre kendo giring kanyakla, ok giniriti, nimar odiechiengʼ mar masira biro kuomgi, kinde margi mar kum.
Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They did not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their visitation.
22 Misri nokudhi ka thuol maringo ka jasigu masudo machiegni gi teko; giniked kode gi ledhi, mana ka chwo matongʼo yiende.”
The sound thereof shall go like the serpent, for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ginibet bungu mare, kata obedo ni oyugno kamano. Gingʼeny moloyo dede, ok nyal kwan-gi.
They shall cut down her forest, says Jehovah, though it cannot be searched because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 Nyar Misri nomi wichkuot, kendo nochiwe ne jogo moa yo nyandwat.”
The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame. She shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho niya, “Achiegni kelo kum kuom Amon ma nyasach Thebes, kuom Farao, kuom Misri gi nyisechene kod ruodhi mage, kod jogo mogeno kuom Farao.
Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, says, Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
26 Anachiwgi ne jogo madwaro ngimagi, ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon gi jotende. To kata kamano ji nodhi nyime dak Misri kaka chon,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. And afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says Jehovah.
27 “Kik iluor; yaye jatichna Jakobo; bende kik ibwogi, yaye Israel. Adiera abiro resi e piny mabor, kaachiel gi nyikwayi e piny mane otergie twech. Jakobo nodhi nyime ka nigi kwe gi dak maonge luoro, kendo onge ngʼama nobwoge.
But fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, nor be dismayed, O Israel. For, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Kik iluor, yaye Jakobo jatichna, nimar an kodi. Kata obedo ni atieko ogendini duto ma asekeyou e diergi, ok anatieku chuth. Anakumu to mana gi bura makare; ok anaweu ngangʼ ma ok akumou,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, says Jehovah, for I am with thee. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee. But I will correct thee in measure, and will in no way leave thee unpunished.
