< Jeremiah 46 >

1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens hethene men;
كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ،١
2 to Egipt, ayens the oost of Farao Nechao, kyng of Egipt, that was bisidis the flood Eufrates, in Charchamys, whom Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, smoot, in the fourthe yeer of Joachym, sone of Josie, kyng of Juda.
عَنْ مِصْرَ، عَنْ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ نَخُو مَلِكِ مِصْرَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ فِي كَرْكَمِيشَ، ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا:٢
3 Make ye redi scheeld and targat, and go ye forth to batel.
«أَعِدُّوا ٱلْمِجَنَّ وَٱلتُّرْسَ وَتَقَدَّمُوا لِلْحَرْبِ.٣
4 Ioyne ye horsis, and stie, ye knyytis; stonde ye in helmes, polische ye speris, clothe ye you in haburiowns.
أَسْرِجُوا ٱلْخَيْلَ، وَٱصْعَدُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْفُرْسَانُ، وَٱنْتَصِبُوا بِٱلْخُوَذِ. ٱصْقِلُوا ٱلرِّمَاحَ. ٱلْبَسُوا ٱلدُّرُوعَ.٤
5 What therfor? Y siy hem dredeful, and turnynge the backis, the stronge men of hem slayn; and thei fledden swiftli, and bihelden not; drede was on ech side, seith the Lord.
لِمَاذَا أَرَاهُمْ مُرْتَعِبِينَ وَمُدْبِرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَقَدْ تَحَطَّمَتْ أَبْطَالُهُمْ وَفَرُّوا هَارِبِينَ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتُوا؟ ٱلْخَوْفُ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٥
6 A swift man schal not fle, and a strong man gesse not hym silf to be saued; at the north, bisidis the flood Eufrates, thei weren ouer comun, and fellen doun.
ٱلْخَفِيفُ لَا يَنُوصُ وَٱلْبَطَلُ لَا يَنْجُو. فِي ٱلشِّمَالِ بِجَانِبِ نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ عَثَرُوا وَسَقَطُوا.٦
7 Who is this, that stieth as a flood, and hise swelewis wexen greet as of floodis?
مَنْ هَذَا ٱلصَّاعِدُ كَٱلنِّيلِ، كَأَنْهَارٍ تَتَلَاطَمُ أَمْوَاهُهَا؟٧
8 Egipte stiede at the licnesse of a flood, and hise wawis schulen be mouyd as floodis; and it schal seie, Y schal stie, and hile the erthe; Y schal leese the citee, and dwelleris therof.
تَصْعَدُ مِصْرُ كَٱلنِّيلِ، وَكَأَنْهَارٍ تَتَلَاطَمُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. فَيَقُولُ: أَصْعَدُ وَأُغَطِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ. أُهْلِكُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.٨
9 Stie ye on horsis, and make ye ful out ioie in charis; and stronge men, come forth, Ethiopie and Libie, holdynge scheeld, and Lidii, takynge and schetynge arowis.
ٱصْعَدِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْخَيْلُ، وَهِيجِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتُ، وَلْتَخْرُجِ ٱلْأَبْطَالُ: كُوشُ وَفُوطُ ٱلْقَابِضَانِ ٱلْمِجَنَّ، وَٱللُّودِيُّونَ ٱلْقَابِضُونَ وَٱلْمَادُّونَ ٱلْقَوْسَ.٩
10 Forsothe that dai of the Lord God of oostis is a dai of veniaunce, that he take veniaunce of hise enemyes; the swerd schal deuoure, and schal be fillid, and schal greetli be fillid with the blood of hem; for whi the slayn sacrifice of the Lord of oostis is in the lond of the north, bisidis the flood Eufrates.
فَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَوْمُ نَقْمَةٍ لِلِٱنْتِقَامِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيهِ، فَيَأْكُلُ ٱلسَّيْفُ وَيَشْبَعُ وَيَرْتَوِي مِنْ دَمِهِمْ. لِأَنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ذَبِيحَةً فِي أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ.١٠
11 Thou virgyn, the douyter of Egipt, stie in to Galaad, and take medicyn. In veyn thou schalt multiplie medecyns; helthe schal not be to thee.
ٱصْعَدِي إِلَى جِلْعَادَ وَخُذِي بَلَسَانًا يَا عَذْرَاءَ، بِنْتَ مِصْرَ. بَاطِلًا تُكَثِّرِينَ ٱلْعَقَاقِيرَ. لَا رِفَادَةَ لَكِ.١١
12 Hethene men herden thi schenschipe, and thi yellyng fillide the erthe; for a strong man hurtlide ayens a strong man, and bothe fellen doun togidere.
قَدْ سَمِعَتِ ٱلْأُمَمُ بِخِزْيِكِ، وَقَدْ مَلَأَ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَوِيلُكِ، لِأَنَّ بَطَلًا يَصْدِمُ بَطَلًا فَيَسْقُطَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا».١٢
13 The word which the Lord spak to Jeremye, the profete, on that that Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, was to comynge, and to smytynge the lond of Egipt.
اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ فِي مَجِيءِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ لِيَضْرِبَ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ:١٣
14 Telle ye to Egipt, and make ye herd in Magdalo, and sowne it in Memphis, and seie ye in Taphnys, Stonde thou, and make thee redi, for a swerd schal deuoure tho thingis that ben bi thi cumpas.
«أَخْبِرُوا فِي مِصْرَ، وَأَسْمِعُوا فِي مَجْدَلَ، وَأَسْمِعُوا فِي نُوفَ وَفِي تَحْفَنْحِيسَ. قُولُوا ٱنْتَصِبْ وَتَهَيَّأْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّيْفَ يَأْكُلُ حَوَالَيْكَ.١٤
15 Whi hath thi strong man wexe rotun? He stood not, for the Lord vndurturnede hym.
لِمَاذَا ٱنْطَرَحَ مُقْتَدِرُوكَ؟ لَا يَقِفُونَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ طَرَحَهُمْ!١٥
16 He multipliede falleris, and a man felle doun to his neiybore; and thei schulen seie, Rise ye, and turne we ayen to oure puple, and to the lond of oure birthe, fro the face of swerd of the culuer.
كَثَّرَ ٱلْعَاثِرِينَ حَتَّى يَسْقُطَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ، وَيَقُولُوا: قُومُوا فَنَرْجِعَ إِلَى شَعْبِنَا، وَإِلَى أَرْضِ مِيلَادِنَا مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلصَّارِمِ.١٦
17 Clepe ye the name of Farao, kyng of Egipt; the tyme hath brouyt noise.
قَدْ نَادُوا هُنَاكَ: فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ هَالِكٌ. قَدْ فَاتَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ.١٧
18 Y lyue, seith the kyng, the Lord of oostis is his name; for it schal come as Thabor in hillis, and as Carmele in the see.
حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ، كَتَابُورٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَكَكَرْمَلٍ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ يَأْتِي.١٨
19 Thou dwelleresse, the douyter of Egipt, make to thee vessels of passyng ouer; for whi Memfis schal be in to wildirnesse, and schal be forsakun vnhabitable.
اِصْنَعِي لِنَفْسِكِ أُهْبَةَ جَلَاءٍ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبِنْتُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّ نُوفَ تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً وَتُحْرَقُ فَلَا سَاكِنَ.١٩
20 Egipt is a schapli cow calf, and fair; a prickere fro the north schal come to it.
مِصْرُ عِجْلَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ جِدًّا. ٱلْهَلَاكُ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ جَاءَ جَاءَ.٢٠
21 Also the hirid men therof, that liueden as caluys maad fatte in the myddis therof, ben turned, and fledden togidere, and miyten not stonde; for the dai of sleynge of hem schal come on hem, the tyme of the visityng of hem.
أَيْضًا مُسْتَأْجَرُوهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا كَعُجُولِ صِيرَةٍ. لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ أَيْضًا يَرْتَدُّونَ، يَهْرُبُونَ مَعًا. لَمْ يَقِفُوا لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ هَلَاكِهِمْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِمْ، وَقْتَ عِقَابِهِمْ.٢١
22 The vois of hem schal sowne as of bras, for thei schulen haste with oost, and with axis thei schulen come to it. As men kittynge doun trees thei kittiden doun the forest therof,
صَوْتُهَا يَمْشِي كَحَيَّةٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَسِيرُونَ بِجَيْشٍ، وَقَدْ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهَا بِٱلْفُؤُوسِ كَمُحْتَطِبِي حَطَبٍ.٢٢
23 seith the Lord, which mai not be noumbrid; thei ben multiplied ouer locustis, and no noumbre is in hem.
يَقْطَعُونَ وَعْرَهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِنْ يَكُنْ لَا يُحْصَى، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كَثُرُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْجَرَادِ، وَلَا عَدَدَ لَهُمْ.٢٣
24 The douytir of Egipt is schent, and bitakun in to the hond of the puple of the north,
قَدْ أُخْزِيَتْ بِنْتُ مِصْرَ وَدُفِعَتْ لِيَدِ شَعْبِ ٱلشِّمَالِ.٢٤
25 seide the Lord of oostis, God of Israel. Lo! Y schal visite on the noise of Alisaundre, and on Farao, and on Egipt, and on the goddis therof, and on the kyngis therof, and on hem that tristen in hym.
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أُعَاقِبُ أَمُونَ نُو وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَمِصْرَ وَآلِهَتَهَا وَمُلُوكَهَا، فِرْعَوْنَ وَٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْهِ.٢٥
26 And Y schal yyue hem in to the hondis of men that seken the lijf of hem, and in to the hondis of Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, and in to the hondis of hise seruauntis; and aftir these thingis it schal be enhabitid, as in the formere daies, seith the Lord.
وَأَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِ طَالِبِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَلِيَدِ نَبُوخَذْراصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَلِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ. ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تُسْكَنُ كَٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٢٦
27 And thou, Jacob, my seruaunt, drede thou not, and Israel, drede thou not; for lo! Y schal make thee saaf fro fer place, and thi seed fro the lond of his caitiftee; and Jacob schal turne ayen, and schal reste, and schal haue prosperite, and noon schal be, that schal make hym aferd.
«وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تَخَفْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ، وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُخَلِّصُكَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَنَسْلَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ، فَيَرْجِعُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَطْمَئِنُّ وَيَسْتَرِيحُ وَلَا مُخِيفٌ.٢٧
28 And Jacob, my seruaunt, nyle thou drede, seith the Lord, for Y am with thee; for Y schal waste alle folkis, to whiche Y castide thee out; but Y schal not waste thee, but Y schal chastise thee in doom, and Y schal not spare thee as innocent.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَاعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبُ فَلَا تَخَفْ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَعَكَ، لِأَنِّي أُفْنِي كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدْتُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَا أُفْنِيكَ، بَلْ أُؤَدِّبُكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا أُبَرِّئُكَ تَبْرِئَةً».٢٨
