Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the Gentiles,
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Jeremiah wòlíì wá nípa àwọn Orílẹ̀-èdè.
2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.
Nípa Ejibiti. Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ nípa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Farao Neko ọba Ejibiti ẹni tí a borí rẹ̀ ní Karkemiṣi, ní odò Eufurate láti ọwọ́ Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ní ọdún kẹrin Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda:
3 Prepare ye the shield and buckler, and go forth to battle.
“Ẹ múra àpáta, èyí tí ó tóbi, àti èyí tí ó kéré, kí ẹ sì súnmọ́ ojú ìjà!
4 Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen: stand forth with helmets, furbish the spears, put on coats of mail.
Ẹ di ẹṣin ní gàárì, kí ẹ sì gùn ún. Ẹ dúró lẹ́sẹẹsẹ pẹ̀lú àṣíborí yín! Ẹ dán ọ̀kọ̀ yín, kí ẹ sì wọ ẹ̀wù irin.
5 What then? I have seen them dismayed, and turning their backs, their valiant ones slain: they fled apace, and they looked not back: terror was round about, saith the Lord.
Kí ni nǹkan tí mo tún rí? Wọ́n bẹ̀rù, wọ́n sì ń padà sẹ́yìn, wọ́n ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn jagunjagun. Wọ́n sá, wọn kò sì bojú wẹ̀yìn, ìbẹ̀rù sì wà níbi gbogbo,” ni Olúwa wí.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the strong think to escape: they are overthrown, and fallen down, towards the north by the river Euphrates.
“Ẹni tí ó yára kì yóò le sálọ, tàbí alágbára kò ní lè sá àsálà. Ní àríwá ní ibi odò Eufurate wọn yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn yóò sì ṣubú.
7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood: and his streams swell like those of rivers?
“Ta ni èyí tí ó gòkè wá bí odò Ejibiti, tí omi rẹ̀ ń ru gẹ́gẹ́ bí odò wọ̀n-ọn-nì?
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and the waves thereof shall be moved as rivers, and he shall say: I will go up and will cover the earth: I will destroy the city, and its inhabitants.
Ejibiti dìde bí odò náà, bí omi odò tí ń ru. Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò dìde, n ó sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.’ Èmi yóò pa ìlú àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ run.
9 Get ye up on horses, and glory in chariots, and let the valiant men come forth, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans that hold the shield, and the Lydians that take, and shoot arrows.
Ẹ gòkè wá ẹ̀yin ẹṣin, ẹ sì sáré kíkankíkan ẹ̀yin kẹ̀kẹ́. Kí àwọn alágbára túbọ̀ tẹ̀síwájú, àwọn ará Kuṣi àti àwọn ará Puti tí ń di asà mú; àti àwọn ará Lidia tí ń fa ọrun.
10 For this is the day of the Lord the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may revenge himself of his enemies: the sword shall devour, and shall be filled, and shall be drunk with their blood: for there is a sacrifice of the Lord God of hosts in the north country, by the river Euphrates.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ náà jẹ́ ti Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ọjọ́ ìgbẹ̀san, ìgbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Idà yóò sì jẹ́ títí yóò fi ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn, títí yóò fi pa òǹgbẹ rẹ̀ rẹ́ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀. Nítorí pé Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò rú ẹbọ ní ilẹ̀ gúúsù ní odò Eufurate.
11 Go up into Galaad, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou multiply medicines, there shall be no cure for thee.
“Gòkè lọ sí Gileadi, kí o sì mú ìkunra, ìwọ wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Ejibiti. Ṣùgbọ́n ní asán ni ìwọ ń lo oògùn, kì yóò sí ìwòsàn fún ọ.
12 The nations have heard of thy disgrace, and thy howling hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong, and both are fallen together.
Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò gbọ́ nípa ìtìjú rẹ, igbe rẹ yóò kún gbogbo ayé. Jagunjagun yóò máa ṣubú lu ara wọn lórí rẹ, àwọn méjèèjì yóò sì jọ ṣubú papọ̀.”
13 The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremias the prophet, how Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó bá Jeremiah wòlíì nì sọ nípa wíwá Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli láti lọ dojú ìjà kọ Ejibiti:
14 Declare ye to Egypt, and publish it in Magdal, and let it be known in Memphis, and in Taphnis: say ye: Stand up, and prepare thyself: for the sword shall devour all round about thee.
“Kéde èyí ní Ejibiti, sì sọ ọ́ ní Migdoli, sọ ọ́ ní Memfisi àti Tafanesi: ‘Dúró sí ààyè rẹ kí o sì múra sílẹ̀, nítorí pé idà náà ń pa àwọn tí ó yí ọ ká.’
15 Why are thy valiant men come to nothing? they stood not: because the Lord hath overthrown them.
Èéṣe tí àwọn akọni rẹ fi ṣubú? Wọn kò ní le dìde dúró, nítorí Olúwa yóò tì wọ́n ṣubú.
16 He hath multiplied them that fall, and one hath fallen upon another, and they shall say: Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land our nativity, from the sword of the dove.
Wọn yóò máa ṣubú léraléra wọn yóò máa ṣubú lu ara wọn. Wọn yóò sọ wí pé, ‘Ẹ dìde, ẹ jẹ́ kí a padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn wa àti ilẹ̀ ìbí wa, kúrò níbi idà àwọn aninilára.’
17 Call ye the name of Pharao king Egypt, a tumult time hath brought.
Níbẹ̀ ni wọn ó kígbe pé, ‘Ariwo lásán ni Farao ọba Ejibiti pa, ó ti sọ àǹfààní rẹ̀ nù.’
18 As I live, (saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, ) as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
“Bí èmi ti wà láààyè,” ni ọba, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, “Nítòótọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Tabori láàrín àwọn òkè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bi Karmeli lẹ́bàá Òkun bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun yóò dé.
19 Furnish thyself to go into captivity, thou daughter inhabitant of Egypt: for Memphis shall be made desolate, and shall be forsaken and uninhabited.
Ìwọ, ọmọbìnrin ti ń gbé Ejibiti pèsè ohun èlò ìrìnàjò fún ara rẹ nítorí Memfisi yóò di ahoro a ó sì fi jóná, láìní olùgbé.
20 Egypt is like a fair and beautiful heifer: there shall come from the north one that shall goad her.
“Ẹgbọrọ abo màlúù tó lẹ́wà ní Ejibiti ṣùgbọ́n eṣinṣin ìparun dé, ó dé láti àríwá.
21 Her hirelings also that lived in the midst of her, like fatted calves are turned back, and are fled away together, and they could not stand, for the day of their slaughter is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
Àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀ dàbí àbọ́pa akọ màlúù. Àwọn pẹ̀lú yóò yípadà, wọn ó sì jùmọ̀ sá, wọn kò ní le dúró, nítorí tí ọjọ́ ibi ń bọ̀ lórí wọn àsìkò láti jẹ wọ́n ní ìyà.
22 Her voice shall sound like brass, for they shall hasten with an army, and with axes they shall come against her, as hewers of wood.
Ejibiti yóò pòṣé bí ejò tí ń sá bí ọmọ-ogun ṣe ń tọ̀ ọ́ wá pẹ̀lú agbára. Wọn ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá pẹ̀lú àáké, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti agégi.
23 They have cut down her forest, saith the Lord, which cannot be counted: they are multiplied above locusts, and are without number.
Wọn o gé igbó rẹ̀ lulẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “nítorí ti a kò le rídìí rẹ̀. Nítorí pé wọ́n pọ̀ ju ẹlẹ́ǹgà lọ, wọ́n sì jẹ́ àìníye.
24 The daughter of Egypt is confounded, and delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
A ó dójútì ọmọbìnrin Ejibiti, a ó fà á lé ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn àríwá.”
25 The Lord of hosts the God of Israel hath said: Behold I will visit upon the tumult of Alexandria, and upon Pharao, and upon Egypt, and upon her gods, and upon her kings, and upon Pharao, upon them that trust in him.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé: “Èmi yóò rọ̀jò ìyà mi sórí Amoni òrìṣà Tebesi, sórí Farao, sórí Ejibiti àti àwọn òrìṣà rẹ̀ àti sórí àwọn ọba rẹ̀ àti sórí àwọn tó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Farao.
26 And I will deliver them into the hand of them that seek their lives, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord.
Èmi ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn tó wá ẹ̀mí wọn lọ́wọ́, lé Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, Ejibiti yóò sì di gbígbé bí i ti àtijọ́,” ni Olúwa wí.
27 And thou my servant Jacob, fear not and be not thou dismayed, O Israel: for behold I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed out of the land of thy captivity: and Jacob shall return and be at rest, and prosper: and there shall be none to terrify him.
“Má bẹ̀rù, ìwọ Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, má fòyà, ìwọ Israẹli. Dájúdájú èmi ó gbà ọ́ láti ọ̀nà jíjìn, àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ ní ilẹ̀ ìgbèkùn. Jakọbu yóò tún ní àlàáfíà àti ààbò, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò dẹ́rùbà á.
28 And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith the Lord: because I am with thee, for I will consume all the nations to which I have cast thee out: but thee I will not consume, but I will correct thee in judgment, neither will I spare thee as if thou wert innocent.
Má bẹ̀rù, Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, nítorí pé mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ,” bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí. “Bí mo tilẹ̀ pa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè run, láàrín àwọn tí mo fọ́n yín ká sí. Èmi kò ní run yín tán. Èmi yóò jẹ ọ́ ní ìyà lórí òdodo, èmi kí yóò jọ̀wọ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́ lọ láìjẹ ọ́ ní yà.”
