< Jeremiah 46 >
1 So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke mutunfacl pus,
2 Of Egypt, Concerning the force of Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates, in Carchemish, —which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, smote, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: —
mutawauk ke facl Egypt. Pa inge ma El fahk ke un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Neco lun Egypt, su Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el kutangla in acn Carchemish, apkuran nu Infacl Euphrates in yac se akakosr ma Jehoiakim el tokosra lun Judah:
3 Prepare ye buckler and shield, And draw near to battle:
“Mwet fulat lun Egypt elos wowoyak ac fahk, ‘Akola mwe loeyuk nutuwos, Ac fahsryang nu ke mweun!
4 Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, Stand forth in helmets, —Polish the lances, put on the coats of mail.
Tamla osra nutuwos! Nokomang nuknuk ac susu in mweun lowos! Akoela horse nutuwos, sroang nu faclos, Ac takla ke lain lowos an!’
5 Why have I seen it? They, panic-struck, are drawing back, Yea, their heroes, are crushed, Yea they have, fled, and not turned, —Terror round about! Declareth Yahweh.
LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Ku mea nga liye uh? Elos tuninfongla ac forla folok. Mwet mweun lalos kutangyukla; Elos sangengla ac kaing ke kuiyalos, Ac elos tia tapulla.
6 Let not the swift, flee, Nor let the hero, escape, —Northward, beside the river Euphrates, have they stumbled, and fallen.
Finne mwet ma mui ke kasrusr, elos tia ku in kaingla; Mwet watwen in mweun tia pac ku in kaingla. In acn epang, sisken Infacl Euphrates, Elos tukulkul ac ikori.
7 Who is it that is like the Nile when it riseth, Like rivers when his waters are tossed?
Su sronoti oana Infacl Nile inge, Oana soko infacl sronoti ac nwakla pefacl uh?
8 Egypt was like the Nile when it riseth, And like rivers, when the waters are tossed: So he said—I will rise, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city, and the dwellers therein.
Egypt pa sronoti oana Infacl Nile, Oana soko infacl sronoti ac nwakla pefahl uh. Egypt el fahk, ‘Nga fah sronoti ac afunla faclu; Nga fah kunausla siti puspis, wi mwet muta we.
9 Mount the horses, And drive the chariots madly on, So let the heroes, go forth, —Ethiopians and Libyans that grasp the buckler, And Lydians that grasp—that tread—the bow, But, that day, belongeth to My Lord Yahweh of hosts—
Sap horse uh in som, Ac chariot uh in kasrusr! Supwalik mwet mweun uh: Mukul ma tuku Ethiopia ac Libya me, su utuk mwe loeyuk, Ac mwet sasla ke pisr ma tuku Lydia me.”’
10 A day of avenging, to avenge him of his adversaries, When the sword shall devour and be filled, and be sated with their blood, —For, a sacrifice, hath My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, In the land of the North Towards the river Euphrates.
Pa inge len lun LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana: Sie len in foloksak; Misenge El fah kalyei mwet lokoalok lal. Cutlass natul ac fah kangulosla nwe ke na kihpi, Ac nim srah kaclos nwe ke sun lungse lal. Misenge El su Kulana El oru sie kisa ke mwet ma El uniya In acn epang, sisken Infacl Euphrates.
11 Go up to Gilead and fetch balsam, O virgin daughter of Egypt! In vain, hast thou multiplied remedies, Healing, there is none for thee.
Mwet Egypt, kowos fahla nu Gilead Ac sukok ono! Kalem tari lah wangin sripen ono lowos; Wangin ma ku in unwekowosla.
12 The nations have heard of thy disgrace, And, thine outcry, hath filled the earth, —For hero against hero, have they stumbled, Together, have fallen, the twain!
Mutunfacl pus lohng ke mwekinla lowos; Mwet nukewa elos lohng ke kom tung. Sie mwet mweun el tukulkul ac ikori fin sie pac, Na eltal kewa putatla infohk uh.
13 The word which Yahweh spake unto Jeremiah the prophet, —as to the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt: —
Ke Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el tuku in mweuni facl Egypt, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik, ac fahk,
14 Tell ye it in Egypt, And let it be heard in Migdol, Yea let it be heard in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, —Say ye—Stand thou forth, and prepare thyself, For a sword hath devoured round about thee.
“Sulkakin in siti Egypt inge, In Migdol, Memphis ac Tahpanhes: ‘Akola in sifacna loangekowos; Ma lowos nukewa ac fah musalla ke mweun!
15 Wherefore have thy valiant ones been laid prostrate? He hath made no stand, because, Yahweh, hath driven him back:
Efu ku Apis, god ku lowos, el ikori? Mweyen LEUM GOD El sringlilya!
16 Hath made many a one to be stumbling, Yea fallen is every one against his neighbour, So they have said—Arise and let us return to our own people, And unto the land of our birth, From the face of the sword of the oppressor.
Mwet mweun lowos elos tukulkul ac ikori; Kais sie fahk nu sin mwet wial, ‘Sulaklak! Kut som nu yurin mwet lasr in acn sesr Ac kaingkunla cutlass nutin mwet lokoalok lasr inge!’
17 Proclaim ye a name, —Pharaoh, king of Egypt—a Sound! He hath overstepped the time appointed!
“Sang ine sasu se inge lun tokosra lun Egypt, ‘Wowon Wel Ac Wangin Ma Oru.’
18 As I live, saith the King, Yahweh of hosts, is his name: Though Like Tabor among mountains, Like Carmel, Into the sea shall he go!
Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, nga tokosra. Nga pa God moul. Oana ke Eol Tabor pa fulat inmasrlon eol uh, Ac Eol Carmel tuyak fulat sisken meoa uh, Ac fah ouinge ku lun el su ac fah mweuni kowos.
19 Baggage for captivity, prepare thee, O inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; For, Noph, shall become a desolation, And be burned without inhabitant.
Kowos mwet Egypt, Apweni! Ac utukla kowos nu in sruoh! Siti Memphis ac fah ekla sie acn mwesis, Sie acn sikiyukla ma wangin mwet muta we.
20 A calf of great beauty, is Egypt: The gad-fly, out of the North, cometh—cometh.
Egypt el oana soko cow mutan kato finsroa, Ma ngalisyuk sin sie loang ngalngul kutulap me.
21 Even her hirelings in her midst are like fatted calves, For, even they, have turned—have fled at once! have made no stand! For, their day of doom, hath come upon them, The time of their visitation.
Finne mwet ma el moli nu se in kasrel ke mweun Wanginna sripalos, oana cow fusr uh. Elos tia tuyak mweun, A elos nukewa forla kaing. Len in ongoiya nu selos summa; Pacl in kunausyukla elos.
22 Her noise, like a serpent, departeth, —For, with a force, they advance, And with axes, have they come against her, like them who fell trees:
Egypt el kaing, musiksikla oana wet soko Ke un mwet lokoalok uh sikme. Elos mweunel ke tuhla, Oana mwet pakpuk sak
23 They have cut down her forest Declareth Yahweh, Surely he cannot be searched out, —For they have outnumbered locusts, and cannot be counted.
Su kunausla insak matol. Mwet lalos arulana pusla, tia ku in oekyukla; Mwet mweun lalos pus liki u lulap ke locust.
24 Put to shame is the daughter of Egypt, —She hath been delivered into the hand of the people of the North.
Akmwekinyeyukla mwet Egypt; Kutangyukla elos sin mwet epang. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
25 Saith Yahweh of host God of Israel, —Behold me! bringing punishment—against Amon of No, and upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and upon her gods and upon her kings, —Even upon Pharaoh, and upon all that trust in him;
LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Nga ac kai Amon, god lun acn Thebes, wi Egypt ac god nukewa ac tokosra nukewa we. Nga ac eisal tokosra lun Egypt ac elos nukewa su filiya lulalfongi lalos in el,
26 And I will deliver them—Into the hand of them who are seeking their life, Even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon And into the hand of his servants, —And after that, shall it be inhabited as in the days of old Declareth Yahweh.
ac eisalosyang nu selos su kena onelosi — nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal. Tusruktu tok, mwet uh ac fah sifilpa muta Egypt, oana ke elos tuh oru in pacl somla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
27 Thou, therefore, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob Nor be dismayed O Israel, For behold me! Saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, —So shall Jacob return and be quiet and shall rest, With none to occasion alarm.
“Mwet luk, nik kowos sangeng; Mwet Israel, nik kowos tuninfongla. Nga fah molikowos liki facl loessula ingan, Liki acn ma kowos mwet sruoh we. Kowos fah foloko nu yen suwos ac muta in misla; Kowos ac fah oakwuki in misla, ac wangin mwet fah oru kowos in sangen.
28 Thou, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob, Urgeth Yahweh, For, with thee, am I: Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, Yet of thee, will I not make an end, But will correct thee in measure, And not hold thee, guiltless,
Nga fah tuku nu yuruwos ac molikowosla. Nga fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa Ma nga akfahsryekowoselik nu we, A nga fah tia kunauskowosla. Tusruktu nga fah tia lela kowos in som ke wangin kaiyuk nu suwos; Ke pacl se nga ac kai kowos, nga fah oru in fal. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
