< Jeremiah 46 >

1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Jeremiah wòlíì wá nípa àwọn Orílẹ̀-èdè.
2 For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
Nípa Ejibiti. Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ nípa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Farao Neko ọba Ejibiti ẹni tí a borí rẹ̀ ní Karkemiṣi, ní odò Eufurate láti ọwọ́ Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ní ọdún kẹrin Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda:
3 'Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.
“Ẹ múra àpáta, èyí tí ó tóbi, àti èyí tí ó kéré, kí ẹ sì súnmọ́ ojú ìjà!
4 Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
Ẹ di ẹṣin ní gàárì, kí ẹ sì gùn ún. Ẹ dúró lẹ́sẹẹsẹ pẹ̀lú àṣíborí yín! Ẹ dán ọ̀kọ̀ yín, kí ẹ sì wọ ẹ̀wù irin.
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Kí ni nǹkan tí mo tún rí? Wọ́n bẹ̀rù, wọ́n sì ń padà sẹ́yìn, wọ́n ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn jagunjagun. Wọ́n sá, wọn kò sì bojú wẹ̀yìn, ìbẹ̀rù sì wà níbi gbogbo,” ni Olúwa wí.
6 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.
“Ẹni tí ó yára kì yóò le sálọ, tàbí alágbára kò ní lè sá àsálà. Ní àríwá ní ibi odò Eufurate wọn yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn yóò sì ṣubú.
7 Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
“Ta ni èyí tí ó gòkè wá bí odò Ejibiti, tí omi rẹ̀ ń ru gẹ́gẹ́ bí odò wọ̀n-ọn-nì?
8 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
Ejibiti dìde bí odò náà, bí omi odò tí ń ru. Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò dìde, n ó sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.’ Èmi yóò pa ìlú àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ run.
9 Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading the bow.
Ẹ gòkè wá ẹ̀yin ẹṣin, ẹ sì sáré kíkankíkan ẹ̀yin kẹ̀kẹ́. Kí àwọn alágbára túbọ̀ tẹ̀síwájú, àwọn ará Kuṣi àti àwọn ará Puti tí ń di asà mú; àti àwọn ará Lidia tí ń fa ọrun.
10 And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ náà jẹ́ ti Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ọjọ́ ìgbẹ̀san, ìgbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Idà yóò sì jẹ́ títí yóò fi ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn, títí yóò fi pa òǹgbẹ rẹ̀ rẹ́ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀. Nítorí pé Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò rú ẹbọ ní ilẹ̀ gúúsù ní odò Eufurate.
11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.
“Gòkè lọ sí Gileadi, kí o sì mú ìkunra, ìwọ wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Ejibiti. Ṣùgbọ́n ní asán ni ìwọ ń lo oògùn, kì yóò sí ìwòsàn fún ọ.
12 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!'
Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò gbọ́ nípa ìtìjú rẹ, igbe rẹ yóò kún gbogbo ayé. Jagunjagun yóò máa ṣubú lu ara wọn lórí rẹ, àwọn méjèèjì yóò sì jọ ṣubú papọ̀.”
13 The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:
Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó bá Jeremiah wòlíì nì sọ nípa wíwá Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli láti lọ dojú ìjà kọ Ejibiti:
14 'Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
“Kéde èyí ní Ejibiti, sì sọ ọ́ ní Migdoli, sọ ọ́ ní Memfisi àti Tafanesi: ‘Dúró sí ààyè rẹ kí o sì múra sílẹ̀, nítorí pé idà náà ń pa àwọn tí ó yí ọ ká.’
15 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.
Èéṣe tí àwọn akọni rẹ fi ṣubú? Wọn kò ní le dìde dúró, nítorí Olúwa yóò tì wọ́n ṣubú.
16 He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.
Wọn yóò máa ṣubú léraléra wọn yóò máa ṣubú lu ara wọn. Wọn yóò sọ wí pé, ‘Ẹ dìde, ẹ jẹ́ kí a padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn wa àti ilẹ̀ ìbí wa, kúrò níbi idà àwọn aninilára.’
17 They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.
Níbẹ̀ ni wọn ó kígbe pé, ‘Ariwo lásán ni Farao ọba Ejibiti pa, ó ti sọ àǹfààní rẹ̀ nù.’
18 I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,
“Bí èmi ti wà láààyè,” ni ọba, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, “Nítòótọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Tabori láàrín àwọn òkè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bi Karmeli lẹ́bàá Òkun bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun yóò dé.
19 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.
Ìwọ, ọmọbìnrin ti ń gbé Ejibiti pèsè ohun èlò ìrìnàjò fún ara rẹ nítorí Memfisi yóò di ahoro a ó sì fi jóná, láìní olùgbé.
20 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
“Ẹgbọrọ abo màlúù tó lẹ́wà ní Ejibiti ṣùgbọ́n eṣinṣin ìparun dé, ó dé láti àríwá.
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.
Àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀ dàbí àbọ́pa akọ màlúù. Àwọn pẹ̀lú yóò yípadà, wọn ó sì jùmọ̀ sá, wọn kò ní le dúró, nítorí tí ọjọ́ ibi ń bọ̀ lórí wọn àsìkò láti jẹ wọ́n ní ìyà.
22 Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.
Ejibiti yóò pòṣé bí ejò tí ń sá bí ọmọ-ogun ṣe ń tọ̀ ọ́ wá pẹ̀lú agbára. Wọn ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá pẹ̀lú àáké, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti agégi.
23 They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
Wọn o gé igbó rẹ̀ lulẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “nítorí ti a kò le rídìí rẹ̀. Nítorí pé wọ́n pọ̀ ju ẹlẹ́ǹgà lọ, wọ́n sì jẹ́ àìníye.
24 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.
A ó dójútì ọmọbìnrin Ejibiti, a ó fà á lé ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn àríwá.”
25 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé: “Èmi yóò rọ̀jò ìyà mi sórí Amoni òrìṣà Tebesi, sórí Farao, sórí Ejibiti àti àwọn òrìṣà rẹ̀ àti sórí àwọn ọba rẹ̀ àti sórí àwọn tó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Farao.
26 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Èmi ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn tó wá ẹ̀mí wọn lọ́wọ́, lé Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, Ejibiti yóò sì di gbígbé bí i ti àtijọ́,” ni Olúwa wí.
27 And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
“Má bẹ̀rù, ìwọ Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, má fòyà, ìwọ Israẹli. Dájúdájú èmi ó gbà ọ́ láti ọ̀nà jíjìn, àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ ní ilẹ̀ ìgbèkùn. Jakọbu yóò tún ní àlàáfíà àti ààbò, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò dẹ́rùbà á.
28 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'
Má bẹ̀rù, Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, nítorí pé mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ,” bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí. “Bí mo tilẹ̀ pa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè run, láàrín àwọn tí mo fọ́n yín ká sí. Èmi kò ní run yín tán. Èmi yóò jẹ ọ́ ní ìyà lórí òdodo, èmi kí yóò jọ̀wọ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́ lọ láìjẹ ọ́ ní yà.”
