< Jeremiah 46 >

1 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai io Ieremia la i ke kaula, e ku e i ko na aina;
2 For Egypt: “This is about the army of Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt that was at Carchemish by the Euphrates river. This was the army that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:
E ku e ia Aigupita, i ka poe kaua hoi o Parao-neko, ke alii o Aigupita, aia ma ka muliwai o Euperate, ma Karekemisa, ka poe a Nebukaneza i luku ai i ka makahiki aha o Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda.
3 Get the small shields and the large shields ready, and go forward to fight.
E hoomakaukau oukou i ka paku a me ka palekaua, a e hookokoke i ke kaua.
4 Put the harness on the horses; mount up on the horses and take your stand with your helmets on; polish the spears and put on your armor.
E kahiko i na lio, a e ee ae, e na hololio, a e ku mai me na mahiole; e hookala i na ihe, e komo na paleumaumaunahi.
5 What am I seeing here? They are filled with terror and are running away, for their soldiers are defeated. They are running for safety and are not looking back. Terror is all around—this is Yahweh's declaration—
No ko aha la wau i ike aku ai ia lakou ua makau a hoi hope? ua hahauia na mea ikaika o lakou, a ua hee loa, aole i nana ihope; puni lakou i ka makau, wahi a Iehova.
6 the swift cannot run away, and the soldiers cannot escape. They stumble in the north and fall beside the Euphrates River.
Aole e hiki i ka mea mama e holo, aole hoi e pakele ka poe ikaika; e okupe no lakou a hina ma ke kukulu akau, ma ka muliwai o Euperate.
7 Who is this who rises like the Nile, whose waters toss up and down like the rivers?
Owai keia mea e hele mai nei, me he wai pii la, a kupikipikio na wai, e like me ka wai kahe la?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers of water that rise and fall. Egypt says, 'I will go up and I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.
Ke pii nei o Aigupita, me he wai pii la, a ua kupikipikio kona mau wai me he wai kahe la; a olelo no hoi oia, E pii aku no wau, e uhi no wau i ka honua; e luku no wau i ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe e noho ana ilaila.
9 Go up, horses. Be angry, you chariots. Let the soldiers go out, Cush and Put, men skillful with a shield, and Ludim, men skillful at bending their bows.'
E pii mai, e na lio, e holo ikaika hoi, e na kaakaua; e hele mai na kanaka ikaika, o ko Aitiopa, a me ko Libua, ka poe lawelawe i ka palekaua, a me ka Ludia, o ka poe i lawelawe, a lena ke kakaka.
10 That day will be the day of vengeance for the Lord Yahweh of hosts, and he will avenge himself on his foes. The sword will devour and be satisfied. It will drink its fill of their blood. For there will be a sacrifice to the Yahweh Lord of hosts in the northern land by the Euphrates River.
Oia no ka la o ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, ka la o ka hoopai ana, e hoopai ai i kona poe enemi nona; e ai no ka pahikaua, a e maona no, a e ona no hoi i ko lakou koko; no ka mea, he mohai ko ka Haku, ko Iehova o na kaua ma ka aina o ke kukuluakau, ma ka muliwai o Euperate.
11 Go up to Gilead and obtain medicine, virgin daughter of Egypt. It is useless that you put much medicine on yourself. There is no cure for you.
E pii aku oe i Gileada, a e lawe mai oe i nini, e ka wahine puupaa, ke kaikamahine o Aigupita; he make hewa nae kou lawe ana i ka laaulapaau a nui, no ka mea, aole loaa ia oe ke ola.
12 The nations have heard of your disgrace. The earth is filled with your laments, for soldier stumbles against soldier; both of them fall together.”
Ua lohe ko na aina i kou hilahila, a ua hoopiha kou uwe ana i ka aina; no ka mea, ua okupe kekahi kanaka ikaika i kekahi kanaka ikaika, a ua hina pu laua.
13 This is the word that Yahweh told Jeremiah the prophet when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came and attacked the land of Egypt:
Ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, no ka hele ana mai o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, e anai i ka aina o Aigupita.
14 “Announce in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes. 'Take your station and prepare yourself, for the sword will devour those around you.'
E hai aku oukou ma Aigupita, e kala aku hoi ma Migedola, e kala aku ma Nopa, a ma Tapehanesa; e i aku, E kupaa, a e hoomakaukau ia oe; no ka mea, e ai no ka pahikaua a puni oe.
15 Why are your mighty ones face-down on the ground? They will not stand, because I, Yahweh, have pushed them to the ground.
No ke aha la i hoohinaia'i kou poe koa, aole lakou i kupaa, no ka mea, hooauhee o Iehova ia lakou.
16 He increases the numbers of those who stumble. Each soldier falls against the next one. They are saying, 'Get up. Let us go home. Let us go back to our own people, to our native land. Let us leave this sword that is beating us down.'
Nana no i hoohina i na mea he nui loa; oia, hina no kekahi maluna o kekahi; olelo no nae lakou, E ku kakou iluna, e hoi hou kakou i ko kakou kanaka iho, a i ko kakou aina i hanau ai, mai ke alo aku o ka pahikaua luku.
17 They proclaimed there, 'Pharaoh the king of Egypt is only a noise, one who has let his opportunity slip away.'
Uwe no lakou malaila, he walaau wale o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita, ua hala kona manawa pono.
18 As I live—declares the King, whose name is Yahweh of hosts— someone will come like Mount Tabor and Mount Carmel by the sea.
Me au e ola nei, wahi a ke Alii, nona ka inoa, o Iehova o na kaua, Oiaio, me Tabora iwaena o na mauna, a me Karemela ma kahakai, e hele mai no ia.
19 Pack for yourselves baggage to carry into exile, you who live in Egypt. For Memphis will become a waste, it will lie in ruins and no one will live there.
E ke kaikamahine e noho la ma Aigupita, e hoomakaukau oe i kahiko no kou hele pio ana; no ka mea, e olohelohe auanei, a e mehameha hoi o Nopa, aohe mea noho malaila.
20 Egypt is a very beautiful young cow, but a stinging insect is coming from the north. It is coming.
He keiki bipi wahine maikai o Aigupita, ke hele mai nei kona make, mai ka akau mai ka hele ana.
21 The hired soldiers in her midst are like a fattened bull, but they will also turn away and run away. They will not stand together, for the day of their disaster is coming against them, the time of their punishment.
O kona poe paaua iwaenakonu ona, ua like me na keikibipi kupaluia; no ka mea, ua hee lakou, ua auhee pu aku no; aole lakou i ku paa, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka la o ko lakou poino maluna o lakou, o ka manawa hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia.
22 Egypt hisses like a snake and crawls away, for her enemies are marching against her. They are going toward her like woodcutters with axes.
E loheia ka leo ona me ko ka nahesa la; no ka mea, e hele mai no lakou me ka poe kaua, a e hele ku e ia ia me na lipi, e like me ka poe kualaau.
23 They will cut down the forests—this is Yahweh's declaration—although it is very dense. For the enemies will be more numerous than locusts, unable to be counted.
E kua lakou i kona ululaau ilalo, wahi a Iehova, ina no e hiki ole ke nana ia ia a pau; no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou lehulehu i ko na uhini, hiki ole ke heluia aku.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be made ashamed. She will be given into the hand of people from the north.”
E hoohilahilaia ke kaikamahine o Aigupita; e haawiia oia iloko o ka lima o na kanaka o ke kukuluakau.
25 Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “See, I am about to punish Amon of Thebes, Pharaoh, Egypt and her gods, her kings the Pharaohs, and those who trust in them.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau ia Amona o No, a me Parao, a me Aigupita, a me ko lakou poe Akua, a me ko lakou poe alii, ia Parao no, a me ka poe a pau e hilinai ia ia.
26 I am giving them into the hand of the ones seeking their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his servants. Then after this Egypt will be inhabited as in previous days—this is Yahweh's declaration.
A e haawi no wau ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ka poe imi i ko lakou ola, a iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a iloko o ka lima o kana poe kauwa. A mahope iho e nohoia no ia e like me ka wa kahiko, wahi a Iehova.
27 But you, my servant Jacob, do not fear. Do not be dismayed, Israel, for see, I am about to bring you back from far away, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Then Jacob will return, find peace, and be secure, and there will be no one to terrify him.
Mai makau oe. e ka'u kauwa, e Iakoba, mai weliweli hoi, e ka Iseraela; no ka mea, aia hoi, e hoola no wau ia oe, mai kahi loihi mai, a me kau poe mamo hoi, mai ka aina mai o ko lakou noho pio ana; a e hoi no ka Iakoba, a e noho hoomaha, a e oluolu no, aohe mea nana e hoomakau ia ia.
28 You, my servant Jacob, do not fear—this is Yahweh's declaration—for I am with you, so I will bring complete destruction against all the nations where I scattered you. But I will not destroy you completely. Yet I will discipline you justly and will certainly not leave you unpunished.”
Mai makau oe, e Iakoba, e ka'u kauwa, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, owau pu me oe; no ka mea, e hoopau ana au i ko na aina a pau, kahi a'u i kipaku ai ia oe: aka, aole au e hoopau ia oe, e hoouku pono aku no nae wau ia oe, aole au e hooki loa aku ia oe.
