< Jeremiah 46 >

1 These are messages that Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah about [other] nations.
Hina Gode da fifi asi gala ilia hou nama olelei.
2 After Jehoiakim, son of King Josiah, had been ruling Judah for almost four years, this message about Egypt was given [by Yahweh]. It was when the army of King Neco of Egypt was defeated by the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon along the Euphrates River. [This is what Yahweh said: “The officers of the army of Egypt are saying to their troops],
E da hidadea Idibidi fi ilia hou olelei. E da Idibidi hina bagade Nigou ea dadi gagui wa: i amo ilia hou olelei. Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Yuda hina bagade Yihoiagimi ea ouligisu ode biyaduga, e da Gagimisi moilai bai bagade Iufala: idisi Hano gadenene amoga hina bagade Nigou ea dadi gagui wa: i amoga hasalasi. Hina Gode da amane sia: i,
3 ‘Prepare your shields and march out to fight the battle!
“Idibidi dadi gagui ouligisu dunu da amane wele sia: sa, ‘Dilia da: igene ga: su momagele, gegemusa: mogodigili masa.
4 Put harnesses on your horses, and get on their backs. (Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; put on your helmets. Sharpen your spears, and put on your armor!’
Dilia hosi liligi momagele, ili da: iya fila heda: ma! Dadalema! Ouli habuga figisima! Dilia goge agei debema! Dilia da: igene ga: su liligi gasisalima!’
5 But what [RHQ] do I see? I see that the soldiers of Egypt will be terrified and will be fleeing. [Even] the bravest of their soldiers will be running away, without [even] looking backward! [I, ] Yahweh, say that [their soldiers] will be terrified on all sides!
“Be Na da adi ba: sala: ?” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa. “Ilia da beda: iba: le sinidigisa. Ilia ha lai da ili fanana. Ilia da bagadewane beda: iba: le, mae beba: le hobeasa.
6 [Even] the fastest [runners] will try to run away, but [even the greatest of] their warriors will not escape. In the north, by the Euphrates [River], they will stumble and fall.
Be hedolodafa hehenasu dunu da baligili hobeamu hame dawa: Dadi gagui dunu da hobeale masunu hamedei ba: sa. Gagoe (north) sogega, Iufala: idisi Hano gadenene, ilia da emo udagaguli dafasa.
7 What group is this that will be covering the land like the water of the Nile [River] covers the land when it floods?
Fi amo da Naile Hano defele heda: le ea bega: nabale aduga: le daha, amo fi da nowala: ?
8 [It is the army of] Egypt that will be covering the land like a surging/huge flood, and they will boast that they will cover the earth and will destroy cities and the people [who live in them].
Amo fi da Idibidi. E da Naile Hano defele heda: le, ea bega: nabane aduga: le daha. Idibidi da amane sia: i, ‘Na da heda: le, osobo bagade dedebomu. Na da moilai amola amo ganodini esalebe dunu amo wadela: lesimu.
9 You [riders of] horses, charge/rush [into the battle]! You [drivers of] chariots, drive furiously! [All] you warriors from Ethiopia and Libya who carry your shields, you warriors from Lydia who shoot arrows, you come!
Hosi masa: ne sia: ma! Sa: liode masa: ne sia: ma! Dadi gagui dunu gadili asunasima! Ilia da Suda: ne amola Libia soge, ilia da: i ga: su gaguiwane maha. Amola dadia gegesu bagade dawa: su dunu Lidia sogega misi, amo asunasimu.’”
10 But, [you need to know that] this is the day when [I], Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, will get revenge on my enemies. With my sword [PRS] I will kill [my enemies] until I am satisfied; my sword will [be like a monster that] [MET, PRS] drinks the blood [of the animals it kills] until it is no longer thirsty. [The enemy soldiers who will be killed] in the north beside the Euphrates River [will be like] [MET] a sacrifice to [me], the Commander of the armies of angels.
Wali eso da Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea Eso. Wali eso E da dabemu. Wali eso E da Ea ha lai ilima se imunu. Fedege agoane, Ea gobihei da sadima: ne, Ea ha lai na dagomu. Amola sadima: ne, ilia maga: me manu. Wali eso, gagoe (north) soge Iufala: idisi Hano gadenene, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da gobele salasu hamomu.
11 You people [IDM] of Egypt, go up to the Gilead [region] to obtain medicine; but it will be useless to take all those medicines; you will not be healed.
Idibidi dunu! Manoma hogomusa: , Gilia: de sogega masa! Dilia manoma da udigili hamedei agoane ba: i dagoi. Dilia da uhimu da hamedei.
12 [People in] the [other] nations will hear how you were humiliated. [People] all over the earth will hear you wailing. [Your mighty] warriors will stumble over each other and they will all fall down together.”
Fifi asi gala huluane da dilia gogosiasu ba: i, amo nabi dagoi. Dadi gagui afae afae da ea sama amoma emo udagaguli, ela gilisili osoboga dafasa.
13 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message about King Nebuchadnezzar when he planned to attack Egypt [with his army]:
Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Idibidi doagala: musa: manoba, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
14 “Shout [this message] throughout Egypt! Proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpenes [cities]! ‘(Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; Prepare to defend yourselves, because [everyone] around you will be killed.’ [PRS, MTY]
“Idibidi moilai bai bagade (Migidole, Memefisi amola Daha: banisi) amo ganodini ha: giwane amane olelema, ‘Dilila: gaga: ma: ne, momagema! Dilia huluane gegesu ganodini wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
15 Your god is a bull; Why does he fall down? He will not be able to stand up, because Yahweh will knock him down.
Dilia gasa bagadedafa dadi gagui dunu da abuliba: le dafabela: ? Bai Hina Gode da ili fane legei dagoi.
16 The soldiers from other countries will stumble and fall over each other, and [then] they will say to each other, ‘Let’s get up and go back to our own people, to our own land. Let’s get away from the swords of our enemies!’
Dilia dadi gagui dunu da emo udagaguli dafai dagoi. Ilia enoma enoma amane sia: daha, ‘Hedolo! Ninia ha lai amoga medole legesu mae ba: ma: ne, ninia fi dunu diasuga ahoa: di.’
17 There [in Egypt] they will say, ‘The king of Egypt talks loudly, but when our [army] had an opportunity [to defeat our enemies], they failed.’
Idibidi hina bagade ema amo gaheabolo dio asulima, ‘Sia: Bagade Hidasu Dunu, E da Hasalasisu Giadofai.’
18 [I, ] the King, who am called the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘As [surely as] I live, someone’s army will be coming [to fight against the army of Egypt]. They will be [extremely powerful], [as though they were as tall] as Tabor Hill, or [as high] as Carmel [Mountain] close to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da Hina Bagade! Na da Gode Esala! Da: ibo Goumi da goumi huluane baligisa. Amola Gamele Goumi da hano wayabo bagade amoga bagade heda: i dagoi ba: sa. Amo defele, dilima doagala: su dunu ea gasa da dilia gasa bagadewane baligimu.
19 [All] you people who live in Egypt, pack your possessions/clothes and prepare to be exiled. Memphis [city] will be destroyed; it will become a ruin, and no one will be living there.
Dilia Idibidi fi dunu! Udigili hawa: hamomusa: masa: ne momagema! Memefisi moilai bai bagade da wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini dunu esalebe hame ba: mu, agoai ba: mu galebe.
20 Egypt is [like] [SIM] a beautiful young cow, but [the army of a powerful king] from the northeast will come to attack it [like] a horsefly [MET] [bites a cow].
Idibidi da bulamagau aseme noga: idafa agoane ba: sa. Be gagoe (north) amoga gasonasu awinimi ema doagala: musa: manebe ba: sa.
21 The (mercenaries/soldiers [from other countries] who have been hired) will become like [SIM] fat calves; but they also will turn around and run away; they will not stand [there and fight], because it will be a day when there will be a [great] disaster in Egypt, a day when their people will be [greatly] punished.
Idibidi muni hawa: hamosu dadi gagui dunu amola da bulamagau mano fonobahadi defele, gasa hame ba: sa. Ilia da bu gegemusa: hame lelu. Ilia da sinidigili, hobea: i. Ilia wadela: mu eso da doaga: i dagoi.
22 [The soldiers of] Egypt will run away, as silently as a snake scurries/crawls away. [The army of] the enemy will advance; they will march along carrying their axes like [SIM] men who cut down trees.
23 [I, ] Yahweh, say that they will kill the soldiers [of Egypt] as though [SIM] they were a forest of trees, because the enemy soldiers will be as numerous as [a swarm of] locusts.
Ha lai dadi gagui wa: i da manebe ba: loba, Idibidi da sania agoane soiya afia: i. Ilia ha lai da dunu amo da goaheiga ifa aba amola iwila bagade wadela: su, amo defele ilima doagala: sa. Ha lai dadi gagui da idimu hame gala. Ilia idi da danuba: wa: i ilia idi baligisa.
24 The people of Egypt will be humiliated; they will be conquered by people from the northeast.’
Idibidi dunu da gogosiasu ba: sa. Gagoe (north) fi dunu da ilima hasalasi dagoi. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
25 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israelis [worship], say, ‘I will punish Amon, [the god whom the people] of Thebes [city] worship, and [all] the [other] gods in Egypt. [I will punish] the King of Egypt and [all] those who trust in him.
26 I will cause them to be captured by those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, and his army officers. But many years later, people will live in Egypt again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’
Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da amane sia: sa, “Na da Dibisi moilai bai bagade ea ogogosu ‘gode’ A: imone amola Idibidi fi huluane (ilia ‘gode’ amola hina bagade) ilima se bagade imunu. Na da Idibidi hina bagade amola dunu huluane ema fa: no bobogesa, amo lale, dunu amo da ili medole legemusa: hanai ilima imunu. Na da ili amo Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola ea dadi gagui wa: i ilima imunu. Be hobea, dunu da musa: Idibidi soge ganodini esalu, amo defele, dunu da bu amo ganodini esalumu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
27 But you people of Israel who serve me, do not be at all dismayed [DOU] now, because some day I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will again live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] to cause you to be terrified.
Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na fi dunu! Mae beda: ma! Dilia da soge sedaga amo ganodini udigili hawa: hamonana. Be amoga Na da dili gaga: le, fadegamu. Dilia da dilia sogedafa amoga buhagili, olofole esalumu. Amasea, dilia da gaga: iwane, mae beda: iwane, amo ganodini esalumu.
28 [I, ] Yahweh, say to you people of Israel who serve me, ‘Do not be afraid, because I will be with you. I will completely destroy the nations among whom I have scattered you, but I will not completely get rid of you. I will punish you, but I will punish you only as severely as you deserve: It would be wrong if I did not punish you at all.’”
Na da dilima misini, dili gaga: mu. Na da fifi asi gala amoga Na da dili afagogoi dagoi, amo huluane wadela: lesimu. Be Na da dili hame wadela: lesimu. Na da dilima se imunu. Be amo se iasea, moloidafa se fawane imunu. Na, Hina Gode, Na da sia: i dagoi.”
