Jeremiah 46
1 The wordes of the Lord, which came to Ieremiah the Prophet against the Gentiles,
Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si va na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia tso dukɔwo ŋuti.
2 As against Egypt, against ye armie of Pharaoh Necho King of Egypt, which was by the riuer Perath in Carchemish, which Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel smote in the fourth yere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah.
Tso Egipte ŋu: Esia nye gbedeasi na Egipte fia Farao Neko ƒe aʋakɔwo, ame siwo dzi Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ɖu le Frat tɔsisi la nu le Karkemis le Yuda fia, Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enelia me:
3 Make readie buckler and shielde, and goe forth to battell.
“Midzra miaƒe akpoxɔnu gãtɔwo kple suetɔwo ɖo eye miado ayi ɖe aʋa!
4 Make readie the horses, and let the horsemen get vp, and stande vp with your sallets, fourbish the speares, and put on the brigandines.
Mitsi sɔwo ɖe tasiaɖamwo ŋu eye miade sɔwo dzi! Miɖɔ gakukuwo, mido mia tɔ ɖe mia nɔƒewo! Minyre miaƒe akplɔwo eye miado miaƒe gawuwo!
5 Wherefore haue I seene them afraid, and driuen backe? for their mighty men are smitten, and are fled away, and looke not backe: for feare was rounde about, sayeth the Lord.
Nu ka kpɔm mele? Dzidzi ƒo wo, wogbugbɔ ɖe megbe, woɖu woƒe kalẽtɔwo dzi. Wosi kple du kple du megbemakpɔmakpɔtɔe eye ŋɔdzi ƒo xlã wo godoo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
6 The swift shall not flee away, nor the strong man escape: they shall stumble, and fall towarde the North by the riuer Perath.
“Afɔ ɖeablɛtɔ mate ŋu asi alo ŋusẽtɔ naɖe eɖokui o. Le anyiehe, le Frat tɔsisi la to, afi mae wokli nu hedze anyi ɖo.
7 Who is this, that commeth vp, as a flood, whose waters are mooued like the riuers?
“Ame kae nye esi gbɔna le eɖokui kɔm ɖe dzi abe Nil kple tɔsisi siwo me tsi le sisim sesĩe ene?
8 Egypt riseth vp like the flood, and his waters are mooued like the riuers, and he sayth, I wil goe vp, and will couer the earth: I wil destroy the citie with them that dwell therein.
Egipte le kɔkɔm ɖe dzi abe Nil kple tɔsisi siwo me tsi le sisim kplakplakpla ene, egblɔ be, ‘Maɖo axɔ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi; matsrɔ̃ amewo kple woƒe duwo.’
9 Come vp, ye horses, and rage ye charets, and let the valiant men come foorth, the blacke Mores, and the Lybians that beare the shield, and the Lydians that handle and bend the bowe.
O, sɔwo, milũ ɖe wo dzi! O, tasiaɖamkulawo, miku wo kple ŋkubiã! O, kalẽtɔwo, mizɔ yi ŋgɔ tẽe, eye mi Kus kple Put ŋutsu siwo tsɔa akpoxɔnuwo kple Lidia ŋutsu siwo daa aŋutrɔ nyuie!
10 For this is the day of ye Lord God of hostes, and a day of vengeance, that he may auenge him of his enemies: for the sworde shall deuoure, and it shall be saciate, and made drunke with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the North countrey by the Riuer Perath.
Gake gbe ma gbe nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la tɔ, hlɔ̃biaŋkeke wòanye, ne wòabia hlɔ̃ eƒe futɔwo. Yi aɖu nu va se ɖe esime wòaɖi ƒo eye ano ʋu va se ɖe esi me wòaɖi kɔ elabena Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, asa vɔ le anyiehenyigba dzi, le Frat tɔsisi la to.
11 Goe vp vnto Gilead, and take balme, O virgine, the daughter of Egypt: in vaine shalt thou vse many medicines: for thou shalt haue no health.
“O, ɖetugbi dzadzɛ, Egipte vinyɔnu, yi ɖe Gilead nàƒle dɔyɔmi. Dzodzroe nèli kɔ atikewo gleglegle, elabena màhaya akpɔ o.
12 The nations haue heard of thy shame, and thy crie hath filled the lande: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong and they are fallen both together.
Dukɔwo ase wò ŋukpeŋkɔ eye wò ɣlidodo axɔ anyigba la dzi. Kalẽtɔ akli nɔvia kalẽtɔ eye wo kple eve la siaa woadze anyi.”
13 The woorde that the Lord spake to Ieremiah the Prophet, howe Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel shoulde come and smite the lande of Egypt.
Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si wòtsɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia tso ale si Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ava dze Egipte dzi la ŋuti.
14 Publish in Egypt and declare in Migdol, and proclaime in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, and say, Stand still, and prepare thee: for the sworde shall deuoure rounde about thee.
“Miɖe gbeƒã le Egipte, mido kpoe le Migdol eye mido kpoe le Memfis kple Tapanhes hã. ‘Mitso miadzra ɖo, ne mianɔ mia nɔƒewo elabena yi wu ame siwo ƒo xlã mi godoo.’
15 Why are thy valiant men put backe? they could not stand, because the Lord did driue them.
Nu ka ŋuti woana wò kalẽtɔwo naɖo baba ɖe anyigba? Womate ŋu anɔ te o, elabena Yehowa atutu wo aƒu anyi.
16 Hee made many to fall, and one fell vpon another: and they saide, Arise, let vs goe againe to our owne people, and to the land of our natiuitie from the sworde of the violent.
Woakli nu enuenu eye woadze anyi ɖe wo nɔewo dzi. Woagblɔ be, ‘Mitso, mina míatrɔ ayi míaƒe amewo gbɔ, le mía denyigba dzi eye míasi le ameteɖeanyila ƒe yi nu.’
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh King of Egypt, and of a great multitude hath passed the time appointed.
Afi ma woado ɣli le be, ‘Egipte fia Farao nye ɣli ƒuƒlu dola; eƒe mɔnukpɔkpɔ to eta va yi.’”
18 As I liue, saith the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, surely as Tabor is in the mountaines, and as Carmel is in the sea: so shall it come.
Ale fia si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔe nye esi: “Meta nye agbe be ame aɖe ava abe Tabɔr le towo dome kple Karmel le atsiaƒu to ene.
19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, make thee geare to goe into captiuitie: for Noph shall be waste and desolate, without an inhabitant.
Miƒo ƒu miaƒe nuwo na aboyomeyiyi, mi ame siwo le Egipte, elabena Memfis azu aƒedo eye woagbãe gudugudu be ame manɔ eme o.
20 Egypt is like a faire calfe, but destruction commeth: out of the North it commeth.
“Egipte le abe nyinɔ sue dzeani ene gake togbato tso anyiehe gbɔna ɖe edzi dze ge.
21 Also her hired men are in the middes of her like fat calues: they are also turned backe and fled away together: they could not stand, because the day of their destruction was come vpon them, and the time of their visitation.
Asrafo siwo wotsɔ aʋae la le abe nyivi damiwo ene. Woawo hã atrɔ megbe asi adzo, womate ŋu anɔ te o, elabena woƒe gbegblẽ gbɔna eye woƒe tohegbe va ɖo.
22 The voyce thereof shall goe foorth like a serpent: for they shall march with an armie, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
Ne futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ho gbɔna la, Egipte axlɔ̃ abe da si le sisim ene, woatso ɖe eŋu kple fia abe ŋutsu siwo lãa ati ene.
23 They shall cut downe her forest, saith the Lord: for they cannot be counted, because they are moe then ye grashoppers, and are innumerable.
Togbɔ be eƒe avewo do ale gbegbe hã la, woalã wo akɔ ɖi. Ameawo sɔ gbɔ wu ʋetsuviwo eye womate ŋu axlẽ wo o. Yehowae gblɔe.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded: she shall be deliuered into the handes of the people of the North.
Woado ŋukpe Egipte vinyɔnu eye woatsɔe ade asi na ame siwo le anyiehe.”
25 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will visite the common people of No and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods and their Kings, euen Pharaoh, and al them that trust in him,
Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la be, “Mahe gbegblẽ va Tebestɔwo ƒe mawu Amon, Farao, Egipte, eƒe fiawo kple eƒe mawuwo kple ame siwo katã ziɔ ɖe Farao ŋuti la dzi.
26 And I will deliuer them into the handes of those, that seeke their liues, and into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and into the handes of his seruants, and afterwarde she shall dwell as in the olde time, saith the Lord.
Makplɔ wo ade asi na Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar kple eŋutime siwo le woƒe agbe yome tim. Gake emegbe la, amewo aganɔ Egiptenyigba dzi abe tsã ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me ene.” Yehowae gblɔe.
27 But feare not thou, O my seruant Iaakob, and be not thou afraid, O Israel: for behold, I will deliuer thee from a farre countrey, and thy seede from the land of their captiuitie, and Iaakob shall returne and be in rest, and prosperitie, and none shall make him afraid.
“O Yakob, nye dɔla, mègavɔ̃ o; O Israel, wò mo megatsi dãa o. Maɖe wò godoo tso didiƒenyigba aɖe dzi kple wò dzidzimeviwo tso anyigba si dzi woɖe aboyo wo ɖo ɖo la. Yakob aganɔ anyi le ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ me eye ame aɖeke mado ŋɔdzi nɛ o.
28 Feare thou not, O Iaakob my seruant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee, and I will vtterly destroy all the nations, whither I haue driuen thee: but I will not vtterly destroy thee, but correct thee by iudgement, and not vtterly cut thee off.
Mègavɔ̃ o, O nye dɔla Yakob, elabena meli kpli wò. Togbɔ be metsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo katã me mekaka mi ɖo ɖo keŋkeŋ hã la, nyematsrɔ̃ wò ya keŋkeŋkeŋ o. Mahe to na wò gake ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye dzi; Ɖekoe nyemana nàyi tomahemahee kura o.”
