Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens hethene men;
Hili ni neno la Yahwe lililomjia Yeremia nabii juu ya mataifa.
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.
Juu ya Misri; “Hili ni juu ya jeshi la Farao Neko, mfalme wa Misri aliyekuwako Karkemishi kando ya mto Frati. Hili ni jeshi alilolishinda Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli likishindwa katika mwaka wa nne wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosia, mfalme wa Yuda:
3 Make ye redi scheeld and targat, and go ye forth to batel.
Wekeni tayari ngao ndogo na kubwa, na msonge vitani.
4 Ioyne ye horsis, and stie, ye knyytis; stonde ye in helmes, polische ye speris, clothe ye you in haburiowns.
Watieni farasi lijamu na hatamu, na mpande juu yao, ninyi wapanda farasi. Jiwekeni mahali penu, mkiwa mmevaa helmeti vichwani mwenu. Inoweni mishale yenu na kuvaa silaha zenu.
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.
Ninaona nini hapa? Wana woga na wanakimbia, maana askari wao wameshindwa. Wanakimbia kwa usalama na hawaangalii nyuma. Kitisho kipo mahali pote - hili ni tamko la Yahwe -
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.
wepesi hawawezi kukimbia, na askari hawezi kukwepa. Wana jikwaa kaskazini na kuanguaka kando ya mto Frati.
7 Who is this, that stieth as a flood, and hise swelewis wexen greet as of floodis?
Ni nani hawa wainukao kama Nile, ambao maji yao yanaruka juu na chini kama mito?
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.
Misri huinuka kama mto Nile, na maji yake yanaumuka juu na chini kama mito. Anasema, 'nitapanda juu; nitaifunika nchi. Nitaiharibu miji na watu wake.
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.
Inukeni, farasi. Mwe na hasira, ninyi vibandawazi. Askari na waende, Kushi na Putu, watu walio na ujuzi wa ngao, na Ludimu, watu wenye ujuzi wa kupiga pinde zao.
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.
Siku hiyo itakuwa siku ya kisasi kwa Bwana Yahwe wa majeshi, naye atajilipizia kisasa juu ya adui zake. Upanga utararua na kujirishisha. Utakula na kujishibisha kwa damu yao. Kwa maana kutakuwa na sadaka kwa Bwana Yahwe wa majeshi katika nchi ya kaskazini kando ya mto Frati.
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.
Panda Gileadi ujipatie dawa, binti wa Misri uliyebikra. Haifai kwamba unaweka dawa nyingi juu yako. Hakuna uponyaji kwako.
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.
Mataifa wamesikia kuaibika kwako. Nchi imejawa na maombolezo yako, maana askari anajikwaa juu ya askari; na wote wawili uanguka pamoja.”
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.
Hili ndilo neno Yahwe alilomwambia nabii Yeremia wakati Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli alipokuja na kushambulia nchi ya Misri:
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.
Toa taarifa kwa Misri na isikiwe katika Migdoli na Memfisi. Wamesema katika Tapenesi, wekeni kituo na mwe imara, kwa maana upanga unakula wote kati yenu.
15 Whi hath thi strong man wexe rotun? He stood not, for the Lord vndurturnede hym.
Kwa nini Apisi mungu wenu amekimbia? Kwa nini ng'ombe dume mungu wenu hakuweza kusimama? Yahwe amemwangusha chini.
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.
Ameongeza idadi ya waliojikwaa. Kila askari anaanguka kinyume cha anayefuata. Wanasema, “Inuka. Haya twende nyumbani. Haya na turudi kwa watu wetu, katika nchi yetu ya asili. Na tuuache upanga huu unaotuuwa.”
17 Clepe ye the name of Farao, kyng of Egipt; the tyme hath brouyt noise.
Walitangaza pale, “Farao mfalme wa Misri ni kelele tu, ameuacha wasaa wake mbali.”
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.
Kama niishivyo - hili ni tamko la mfalme - Yahwe wa majeshi kwa jina, kuna mtu atakuja aliye kama Mlima Tabori na Mlima Karmeli kando ya bahari.
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.
Wekeni masanduku yenu kuyachukua uhamishoni, binti mwishio Misri. Kwani Memfisi haitafaa, magofu. Hakuna atakayeishi huko.
20 Egipt is a schapli cow calf, and fair; a prickere fro the north schal come to it.
Misri ni mtamba mzuri sana, lakini mdudu aumaye anakuja kutoka kaskazini. Anakuja.
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.
Askari wake wakukodiwa ni kama dume la ng'ombe lililonona kati yake. lakini wao pia watageuka na kukimbia. Hawatasimama pamoja, kwani siku yao ya madhara inakuja kunyume chao, wakatik wa kuadhibiwa kwao.
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,
Misri anatoa sauti kama ya nyoka na kuondoka kwa kutambaa. maana adui yake anajiandaa kinyume chake. Wanamkabili kama mkata miti aliye na shoka.
23 seith the Lord, which mai not be noumbrid; thei ben multiplied ouer locustis, and no noumbre is in hem.
Wataangusha misitu - japokuwa ni mingi sana - hili ni tamko la Yahwe. Kwa maana adui watakuwa wengi kuliko nzige, wasiohesabika.
24 The douytir of Egipt is schent, and bitakun in to the hond of the puple of the north,
Binti Misri ataaibishwa. Atawekwa mkononi mwa watu kutoka kaskazini.”
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.
Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema, “Tazama, niko karibu kumwadhibu Amoni wa Thebesi, Farao, Misri na miungu yake, Farao mfalme wake, na wote wanaomtumaini.
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.
Nitawaweka katika mkono wa wanaoyaona maisha yao, na katika mkono wa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli na watumishi wake. Kisha baada ya haya Misri itakaliwa kama mwanzo - asema Yahwe.”
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.
Lakini, wewe Yakobo mtumishi wangu, usihofu. Usifadhaike, Israeli, maana tazama, nitakurudisha kutoka mbali, na uzao wako kutoka nchi ya mateka. Kisha Yakobo atarudi, tafuta amani, na kuwa salama, na hapatakuwa na wa kumwogofya.
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.
Wewe, mtumishi wangu Yakobo, usiogope - asema Yahwe - kwa maana nipo nawe, hivyo nitaleta maangamizi makamilifu dhidi ya mataifa yote nilikokupeleka. Lakini sitakuharibu kabisa. Hata hivyo nitakuadhibu kwa haki na hakika sitakuacha bila adhabu.”
