Jeremiah 46
1 The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
Niheo am’Iirmeà, mpitoky ty tsara’ Iehovà ty amo fifeheañeo;
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
ty amy Mitsraime, i mpirai-lian-dahin-defo’ i Parò-Neko mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey, ie añolo’ i Saka-Perate e Karkemise ao, le ginio’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, amy taom-paha-efa’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosià mpanjaka’ Iehodày.
3 “Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
Ihentseño ty fañeba naho ty fikalan-defo, vaho itotoho i hotakotakey.
4 Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
Aombeo laboridy o soavalao, naho miningira, ry mpiningi-tsoavalao; mijohaña eo reketse kalan-doha; fotìo o lefoñeo, aombeo o sarom-bìo.
5 Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and don’t look back. Terror is on every side,” says the LORD.
Akore t’ie treako hoe lonjetse naho miamboho? Finofok’ ambane o fanalolahi’eo, fa nitriban-day mb’eo, vaho tsy nitolik’ am-boho, fa niarikatoha’ ty firevendreveñañe, hoe t’Iehovà.
6 “Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
Tsy hahafiorotse ty masìka, tsy hahafivoratsake ty fanalolahy; mitsikapy vaho mikorovoke mb’avaratse añe iereo, marine i Saka-Peratey.
7 “Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
Ia ty hambañ’am’Ieore mitroatroakey, manahake o saka misorotombake hanginahina’eo?
8 Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
Manahake Ieore t’i Mitsraime amy fitabatroaha’ o rano’eoy; ie manao ty hoe: Hitroatse iraho, hanginahina naho hampiopo ty tane toy, toe harotsako i rovay naho o mpimoneñe ama’eo.
9 Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
Mionjona ry soavalao, mionara ry sareteo; ampivavaro mb’etoy o fanalolahio, o nte-Kose naho nte-Pote mahafitàm-pikalan-defoñeo, o nte-Lode mahatañe naho mahafibitsoke faleo.
10 For that day is of the Lord, GOD of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
Amy te hanañ’ androm-pañondroha’e t’i Talè Iehovà’ i Màroy, hamalea’e fate o rafelahi’eo, hampibotsehañe i fibaray ampara’ te etsake naho mamo ami’ty lio’ iareo; fa manao soroñe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, an-tane avaratse, marine’ i Saka-Peratey.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
Mionjona mb’e Gilade mb’eo, mitohà fatevo ry anak’ ampela’ i Mitsraimeo; fonga tsy jefa’e o aoly anoe’oo, toe tsy eo ty hampijangañe azo.
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
Fa jinanji’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty fisalara’o, vaho manitsike ty tane toy ty fikoikoiha’o, fa nitsikapy amy maozatsey ty fanalolahy, sindre nihotrake.
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà mpitoky, te hanao akore ty hionjona’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele mb’an-tane Mitsraime mb’eo handafa aze?
14 “Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
Tseizo’ areo e Mitsraime ao, koiho e Migdole, koiho-lava e Nofe naho e Tafanese, vaho ano ty hoe: Mijohaña vaho mihentseña fa hampibotsek’ añ’ariary azo i fibaray.
15 Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because the LORD pushed them.
Akore te nafaoke añe o maoza’oo? Ie tsy nahafitroatse amy te tinindri’ Iehovà ambane.
16 He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
Maro ty tsinikapi’e; eka songa mifampikorovoke vaho manao ty hoe: Miongaha, antao himpoly mb’am’ondatin-tika mb’eo, mb’an-tane nahatoly an-tikañe añe, hienga ty fijoia’ i fibaray.
17 They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
Ty hoe ty nikoihe’ iereo añe: Koràk’ avao t’i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime; Napo’e hihelañe añe i ni-fantañañey.
18 “As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor amongst the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
Kanao velon-dRaho hoe i Mpanjakay, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e, Toe hanahak’ i Tabore am-bohitsey naho i Karmele añ’olon-driake añe, Ty higodaña’e mb’etoy.
19 You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burnt up, without inhabitant.
O ry anak’ampela mpimoneñe e Mitsraime ao, mivatia handenà’o mb’am-pandrohizañe añe, fa ho tanàn-taolo ty Nofe, hampangoakoaheñe tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
20 “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
Kiloa fanjaka t’i Mitsraime fe boak’ avaratse añe ty lale-boròñe hamongotse—toe ho avy.
21 Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
Manahake ty sarak’ an-jolok’ ao, o lahin-defo mpikarama añivo’eo, fa nivalike ka iereo; niharo nibotatsake, tsy nahafijohañe, fa tondroke ty andron-kankà’ iareo, ty androm-pitilihañe iareo.
22 Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
Hoe mereñe ty fikosasaha’e ie misoroke o lahindefo’eo, mikovovoke mb’am-pisorohañ’aze o lahindefoñeo, ie mitoañ’ aze am-pekoñe hoe mpañatsak’ ala.
23 They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
Hinatsa’ iareo i alay, hoe t’Iehovà, fa tsy lefe volilieñe; amy t’ie maro te amo valalao, mitozantozañe.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
Nisalareñe ty anak’ ampela’ i Mitsraime; fa natolotse am-pità’ ondaty avaratse añe.
25 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israrele, Ho liloveko t’i Amone nte-No naho i Parò, naho i Mitsraime, rekets’ o ‘ndrahare’eo, naho o mpanjaka’eo; toe i Parò naho ze miato ama’e.
26 I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says the LORD.
Hatoloko am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’eo naho am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele naho am-pità’ o mpitoro’eo; ie añe, le ho fimoneñañe indraike re manahake te taolo, hoe t’Iehovà.
27 “But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Don’t be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
Aa le ko hemban-drehe ry Iakobe mpitoroko, naho ko lonjetse ry Israele; fa ho rombaheko boake tsietoitane añe, naho ty tiri’o an-tanem-pandrohiza’ iareo; himpoly t’Iakobe, naho hierañerañe, le tsy eo ty hañembañe aze ka.
28 Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says the LORD, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
Ko hemban-drehe ry Iakobe mpitoroko, hoe t’Iehovà, fa mpiama’o iraho; ho fonga mongoreko o fifeheañe nandroahako azoo, f’ihe tsy ho mongoreko; ho liloveko an-jaka-to, fe tsy hapoko tsy ho liloveñe.
