< Jeremiah 46 >

1 Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet on the nations.
Iri ndiro shoko raJehovha rakauya kuna Jeremia muprofita pamusoro pendudzi:
2 Of Egypt on [the] army of Pharaoh Necho [the] king of Egypt which it was at [the] river of Euphrates at Carchemish which he struck down Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon in [the] year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah.
Pamusoro peIjipiti: Iri ndiro shoko pamusoro pehondo yaFaro Neko mambo weIjipiti, yakakundwa paKarikemishi, paRwizi Yufuratesi naNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi mugore rechina raJehoyakimi mwanakomana waJosia mambo weJudha:
3 Set in order shield and body shield and draw near for battle.
“Gadzirai nhoo dzenyu, dzose huru neduku, mubude kundorwa!
4 Harness the horses and mount the warhorses and take your stand with helmets polish the spears put on the armor.
Sungai mabhiza, sungirirai zvigaro! Mirai panzvimbo yenyu makapfeka nguwani! Rodzai mapfumo enyu, pfekai nguo dzenyu dzokurwa!
5 Why? have I seen they [will be] terrified [they will be] turned back backwards and warriors their they will be crushed and flight they will flee and not they will turn back terror [will be] from round about [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Ndinooneiko? Vavhundutswa, vari kudzokera shure, mhare dzavo dzakundwa. Vari kutiza nokukurumidza vasingacheuki, uye pano kutya kumativi ose,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
6 May not he flee the swift [one] and may not he escape the warrior north-ward on [the] side of [the] river of Euphrates they will stumble and they will fall.
Vanogona kumhanya havangatizi, uye vakasimba havangapunyuki. Nechokumusoro paRwizi Yufuratesi vanogumburwa vagowa.
7 Who? [is] this [who] like the River he rises like rivers they surge waters his.
Ndianiko uyu anozara serwizi Nairi, senzizi dzamapopopo emvura?
8 Egypt like the River it rises and like rivers they surge waters and it has said I will rise I will cover [the] earth I will destroy a city and [the] inhabitants in it.
Ijipiti yazara seNairi, senzizi dzamapopopo. Inoti, “Ndichazara ndigofukidza nyika; ndichaparadza maguta navanhu vawo.”
9 Go up O horses and drive madly O chariotry so they may go forth the warriors Cush and Put [who] wield a shield and Ludites [who] wield [those who] bend a bow.
Virimai, imi mabhiza! Chairai nehasha, imi vatasvi vengoro! Fambirai mberi, imi mhare, varume veEtiopia nePuti vanoitakura nhoo, varume veRidhia vanowembura uta.
10 And the day that [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts a day of vengeance to avenge himself from opponents his and it will devour [the] sword and it will be satisfied and it will take its fill from blood their for a sacrifice of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts [will be] in [the] land of [the] north to [the] river of Euphrates.
Asi zuva iro nderaShe, iye Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, iro zuva rokutsiva, rokutsiva vavengi vake. Munondo uchadya kusvikira waguta, kusvikira wapodza nyota yawo neropa. Nokuti Ishe, iye Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, achabayira chibayiro kunyika yokumusoro paRwizi Yufuratesi.
11 Go up Gilead and acquire balm O virgin of [the] daughter of Egypt for vanity (you have multiplied *Q(K)*) remedies [is] healing there not for you.
“Kwidza kuGireadhi undotora bharimu, iwe Mwanasikana Mhandara yeIjipiti. Asi unongowanza mishonga pasina; kuporeswa kwako hapana.
12 They will hear nations shame your and outcry your it will be full the earth for warrior over warrior they will stumble together they will fall both of them.
Ndudzi dzichanzwa nezvokunyadziswa kwako; kuchema kwako kuchazadza nyika. Mhare ichabondera pane imwe mhare; vachawira pasi pamwe chete.”
13 The word which he spoke Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet of [the] coming of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon to strike [the] land of Egypt.
Iri ndiro shoko rakataurwa naJehovha kuna Jeremia muprofita, pamusoro pokuuya kwaNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi kuzorwa neIjipiti achiti:
14 Declare in Egypt and make a proclamation in Migdol and make a proclamation in Memphis and in Tahpanhes say take your stand and prepare yourself for it will devour [the] sword around you.
“Zivisai izvi muIjipiti, mugozviparidza paMigidhori; zviparidzeiwo paNofi neTapanesi muchiti: ‘Torai nzvimbo yenyu uye muzvigadzirire, nokuti munondo unodya vakakupoteredzai.’
15 Why? will he be prostrated mighty [ones] your not he will stand for Yahweh he will push him.
Ko, mhare dzenyu dzingadzikisirwei? Havangagoni kumira, nokuti Jehovha achavadzikisa pasi.
16 He will multiply [one who] stumbles also he will fall each to neighbor his and they said arise! - so let us return to people our and to [the] land of kindred our because of [the] sword of the oppressor.
Vacharamba vachingogumburwa; vachawa mumwe nomumwe pamusoro pomumwe. Vachati, ‘Simukai, ngatidzokerei kuvanhu vokwedu nokunyika yedu, kure nomunondo womumanikidzi wedu.’
17 People will call out there Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt [is] a noise he has let pass by the appointed time.
Ikoko vachadanidzira vachiti, ‘Faro mambo weIjipiti anongova ruzha chete; akatadza kushandisa mukana wake.’
18 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his that like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel at the sea he will come.
“Zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Mambo, ane zita rinonzi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, “pano mumwe achauya akaita seTabhori pakati pamakomo, seKarimeri pagungwa.
19 Baggage of exile make for yourself O inhabitant[s] [the] daughter of Egypt for Memphis a waste it will become and it will be made desolate from not inhabitant.
Rongedzai zvinhu zvenyu, nokuti muchaenda kuutapwa, imi munogara muIjipiti, nokuti Nofi richaitwa dongo, uye richava dongo risina anogaramo.
20 [is] a heifer Beautifully beautiful Egypt a gadfly from [the] north [is] about to come [is] about to come.
“Ijipiti itsiru rakaisvonaka, asi vuvo riri kuuya kuzorwisa richibva kumusoro.
21 Also hired soldiers its in midst its [are] like calves of [the] stall for also they they will turn they will flee together not they will stand their ground for [the] day of disaster their it will come on them [the] time of punishment their.
Varwi vanorwa kuti varipirwe mari chete vari mairi, vakaita semhuru dzakakodzwa. Naivowo vachatendeuka uye vachatiza pamwe chete, havangamiri panzvimbo yavo, nokuti zuva renjodzi riri kuuya pamusoro pavo, nguva yokurangwa kwavo.
22 Sound its [is] like snake [which] it goes for with an army they will come and with axes they will come to it like cutters of wood.
Ijipiti ichashinyira senyoka inotiza pakuuya nechisimba kwomuvengi; vachauya kuzorwa nayo namatemo, savarume vanotema miti.
23 They will cut down forest its [the] utterance of Yahweh that not it will be searched for they will be many more than locust[s] and not [belonged] to them number.
Vachatemera sango raro pasi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “kunyange risingapindiki zvaro. Vakawanda kupfuura mhashu, havaverengeki.
24 It will be put to shame [the] daughter of Egypt it will be given in [the] hand of [the] people of [the] north.
Mwanasikana weIjipiti achanyadziswa, achaiswa mumaoko avanhu vokumusoro.”
25 He says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to visit [judgment] to Amon from Thebes and on Pharaoh and on Egypt and on gods its and on kings its and on Pharaoh and on the [ones who] trust in him.
Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri, anoti, “Ndava pedyo nokuuyisa shamhu pamusoro paAmoni mwari weTebhesi, napamusoro paFaro, neIjipiti navamwari vayo namadzimambo ayo, napamusoro peavo vanovimba naFaro.
26 And I will give them in [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of servants his and after thus it will settle like days of antiquity [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Ndichavaisa mumaoko eavo vanotsvaka kuvauraya, nokuna Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi namachinda ake. Shure kwaizvozvo, Ijipiti ichagarwa sepamazuva akare,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
27 And you may not you fear O servant my Jacob and may not you be dismayed O Israel for here I [am] about to save you from a distant [land] and offspring your from [the] land of captivity their and he will return Jacob and he will be undisturbed and he will be at ease and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
“Usatya, iwe Jakobho muranda wangu; usavhunduka, iwe Israeri. Zvirokwazvo ndichakuponesa uri kunzvimbo iri kure, nezvizvarwa zvako kubva kunyika youtapwa hwavo, Jakobho achavazve norugare nokuchengetedzeka, uye hakuna achamutyisa.

Usatya, iwe Jakobho muranda wangu, nokuti ndinewe,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Kunyange ndikaparadza chose marudzi ose andakakuparadzirai pakati pawo, handizokuparadzei imi zvachose. Ndichakurangai, asi chete nokururamisira; handingakuregei musina kurangwa zvachose.”
