Jeremaya 46
1 Ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, nke ruru Jeremaya onye amụma ntị, banyere mba dị iche iche.
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
2 Nke dịrị Ijipt: Ndị a bụ okwu dị megide usuu ndị agha Fero Neko, bụ eze Ijipt, ndị Nebukadneza eze Babilọn meriri nʼagha na Kakemish, nʼakụkụ osimiri Yufretis, nʼafọ nke anọ nke ọchịchị Jehoiakim nwa Josaya, bụ eze Juda.
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 “Kwadoonụ ọta agha unu, ndị ukwu na ndị nta, zọpụnụ ije maka ibu agha.
Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Kegidezienụ ịnyịnya unu, rịkwasịkwanụ nʼelu ha. Guzokwanụ nʼọnọdụ ibu agha unu, ma kpukwasịkwanụ onwe unu okpu agha unu. Mụọnụ ùbe unu ka ọ dị nkọ, yikwasịkwanụ uwe agha unu.
Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with [your] helmets; furbish the spears, [and] put on the brigandines.
5 Gịnị ka anya m abụọ hụrụ? Ụjọ na-atụ ha, ha na-agbaghachikwa azụ; lee, a na-etipịa ndị ha bụ dike nʼagha. Ha na-agbasi ọsọ ike, na-eleghị anya nʼazụ. Egwu dịkwa nʼakụkụ niile,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed [and] turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: [for] fear [was] round about, saith the LORD.
6 “Ndị nwere ụkwụ ọsọ enweghị ike ịgbalaga, ndị dị ike enweghị ike isi nʼebe ahụ wezuga onwe ha. Ha na-asọ ngọngọ daa, nʼakụkụ ugwu dị nso nʼosimiri Yufretis.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
7 “Onye bụ onye a, nke na-ebili ọtọ dịka osimiri Naịl, na dịka osimiri nke mmiri ya na-amagharị?
Who [is] this [that] cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Ijipt na-ebili elu dịka osimiri Naịl, dịka osimiri nke mmiri ya na-amagharị. Ọ na-asị, ‘Aga m ebili kpuchie ụwa niile. Aga m ebibi obodo ukwu dị iche iche, na ndị mmadụ bi nʼime ha.’
Egypt riseth up like a flood, and [his] waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, [and] will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Gbabanyenụ nʼọgbọ agha, unu ịnyịnya niile. Gbanụ ọkụ ọkụ, unu ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha. Zọọnụ ike ike, unu ndị bụ dike nʼagha, unu ndị ikom Kush na Put, ndị na-ebu ọta, na unu ndị ikom Lidiya ndị na-agba ụta.
Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle [and] bend the bow.
10 Ma ụbọchị ahụ dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Ọ bụ ụbọchị ịbọ ọbọ ya, ụbọchị ọ ga-abọrọ ọbọ nʼahụ ndị iro ya. Mma agha ga-eripịa ha tutu afọ eju ya, e, tutu ruo mgbe ọ ṅụjuru ọbara afọ. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-achụ aja nʼala ahụ dị nʼugwu, nke dị nso osimiri Yufretis.
For this [is] the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 “Rigoro Gilead ka i weta mmanụ a na-ete nʼọnya, gị Ada Ijipt na-amaghị nwoke. Ma ọ bụ nʼefu ka ị na-ewebata ọgwụ ndị a niile, nʼihi na ọgwụgwọ ọbụla agaghị adịrị gị.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; [for] thou shalt not be cured.
12 Mba niile ga-anụ akụkọ ihe ihere bịakwasịrị gị. Nʼakụkụ niile nke ụwa ka a ga-anụkwa ịkwa akwa gị. Otu dike nʼagha na-asọ ngọngọ na-adakwasị dike ibe ya; ha abụọ na-adakwa nʼala.”
The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, [and] they are fallen both together.
13 Okwu ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị gwara Jeremaya onye amụma, banyere ọbịbịa nke Nebukadneza, bụ eze Babilọn, onye na-abịa ibuso Ijipt agha.
The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come [and] smite the land of Egypt.
14 “Kwupụtanụ ihe ndị a nʼIjipt. Kwusaa ya na Migdol. Kwusaakwa ya na Memfis, na nʼobodo Tapanhis. Guzozienụ onwe unu nʼusoro, nọọkwanụ na njikere, nʼihi na mma agha na-eripịa ndị gbara unu gburugburu.
Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.
15 Gịnị mere a ga-eji gbudasịa ndị gị niile bụ dike nʼagha? Ha agaghị enwe ike guzokwa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-akwada ha.
Why are thy valiant [men] swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16 Ha ga-asọ ngọngọ mgbe mgbe, ha ga-adakwasịkwa nʼelu ibe ha. Ha ga-asịkwa, ‘Bilienụ ọtọ, bịanụ ka anyị laghachikwuru ndị anyị, ka anyị laghachikwa nʼala ebe a mụrụ anyị, ka anyị wezugakwa onwe anyị site na mma agha nke ndị mmegbu.’
He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Nʼebe ahụ ka ha ga-anọ tie mkpu sị, ‘Fero eze Ijipt bụ naanị onye oke okwu. Lee, oge a kara aka nye ya efunarịla ya.’
They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt [is but] a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
18 “Dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ,” ka Eze ahụ kwupụtara, onye aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, “otu onye ga-abịa, onye dị ukwuu dịka ugwu Taboa si dị ukwuu nʼebe ugwu ndị ọzọ dị, na dịka Kamel si dịrị nʼakụkụ osimiri.
[As] I live, saith the King, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor [is] among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, [so] shall he come.
19 Kwakọtaanụ ngwongwo unu, jikerenụ maka ije biri nʼala ọzọ, unu ndị bi nʼIjipt, nʼihi na a ga-eme ka Memfis ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe, nke mmadụ na-agaghị ebi nʼime ya.
O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 “Ijipt mara mma dịka nne ehi, ma ijiji nke si nʼakụkụ ugwu, na-abịa imegide ya.
Egypt [is like] a very fair heifer, [but] destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
21 Ndị agha e goro ego nọ nʼetiti ha dịka ụmụ ehi gbara abụba. Ha onwe ha kwa ga-atụgharịa gbaa ọsọ, ha agaghị eguzo, nʼihi na ụbọchị nhụju anya na-abịakwasị ha, bụ ụbọchị a ga-ata ha ahụhụ.
Also her hired men [are] in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, [and] are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, [and] the time of their visitation.
22 Ijipt ga-eme mkpọtụ, dịka mkpọtụ nke agwọ na-agba ọsọ na-eme, mgbe ndị iro ya ji ike na-abịakwasị ya. Ha ga-eji anyụike bịakwasị ya, dịka ndị na-egbutu osisi.
The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Ha ga-egbutu oke ọhịa ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “nʼagbanyeghị na ọ bụ oke ọhịa rubigara oke. Ha dị ọtụtụ karịa igurube, a pụghịkwa ịgụta ole ha dị.
They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and [are] innumerable.
24 A ga-eme ka ihere mee Ada Ijipt, mgbe e nyefere ya nʼaka ndị si nʼakụkụ ugwu bịa.”
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel, sịrị, “Ana m aga ime ka ahụhụ bịakwasị Amọn, bụ chi ndị Tibs, na Fero, na ala Ijipt na chi niile dị nʼime ya, ndị eze ya niile nakwa ndị ahụ na-atụkwasị Fero obi.
The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and [all] them that trust in him:
26 Aga m enyefe ha nʼaka ndị ahụ na-achọsi ndụ ha ike, bụ Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, na ndịisi ọchịchị ya. Ma nʼikpeazụ, aga m emekwa ka ndị mmadụ birikwa nʼime ya ọzọ, dịka e si biri nʼime ya na mgbe ochie.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.
27 “Atụla egwu, gị Jekọb, ohu m. Adakwala mba, gị Izrel. Nʼihi na lee, aghaghị m ịzọpụta gị site nʼebe dị anya nke e mere ka ị gaa biri. Aga m azọpụtakwa ụmụ ụmụ gị site nʼala ebe e mere ka ha gbapụ ọsọ gaa biri. Jekọb ga-emesịakwa biri nʼudo, na-atụghị egwu ọbụla. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eme ka ọ tụọ ụjọ.
But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
28 Atụla egwu, gị Jekọb, ohu m, nʼihi na anọnyeere m gị,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. “A sịkwarị na m ebibie mba ndị ahụ niile nke m mere ka ị gaa biri nʼetiti ha kpamkpam, agaghị m ebibi gị kpamkpam. Aga m adọ gị aka na ntị, ma ọ ga-abụ site nʼụzọ ikpe ikpe ziri ezi. Agakwaghị m ahapụ inye gị ahụhụ i kwesiri ịnata.”
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I [am] with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
