Jeremaya 46
1 Ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, nke ruru Jeremaya onye amụma ntị, banyere mba dị iche iche.
So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
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.
Of Egypt, Concerning the force 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 son of Josiah, king of Judah: —
3 “Kwadoonụ ọta agha unu, ndị ukwu na ndị nta, zọpụnụ ije maka ibu agha.
Prepare ye 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 mount, ye horsemen, Stand forth in helmets, —Polish the lances, put on the coats of mail.
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.
Why have I seen it? They, panic-struck, are drawing back, Yea, their heroes, are crushed, Yea they have, fled, and not turned, —Terror round about! Declareth Yahweh.
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, Nor let the hero, escape, —Northward, beside the river Euphrates, have they stumbled, and fallen.
7 “Onye bụ onye a, nke na-ebili ọtọ dịka osimiri Naịl, na dịka osimiri nke mmiri ya na-amagharị?
Who is it that is like the Nile when it riseth, Like rivers when his waters are tossed?
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 was like the Nile when it riseth, And like rivers, when the waters are tossed: So he said—I will rise, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city, and the dwellers therein.
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.
Mount the horses, And drive the chariots madly on, So let the heroes, go forth, —Ethiopians and Libyans that grasp the buckler, And Lydians that grasp—that tread—the bow, But, that day, belongeth to My Lord Yahweh of hosts—
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.
A day of avenging, to avenge him of his adversaries, When the sword shall devour and be filled, and be sated with their blood, —For, a sacrifice, hath My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, In the land of the North Towards 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 to Gilead and fetch balsam, O virgin daughter of Egypt! In vain, hast thou multiplied remedies, Healing, there is none for thee.
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 disgrace, And, thine outcry, hath filled the earth, —For hero against hero, have they stumbled, Together, have fallen, the twain!
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 which Yahweh spake unto Jeremiah the prophet, —as to the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to 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.
Tell ye it in Egypt, And let it be heard in Migdol, Yea let it be heard in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, —Say ye—Stand thou forth, and prepare thyself, For a sword hath devoured 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.
Wherefore have thy valiant ones been laid prostrate? He hath made no stand, because, Yahweh, hath driven him back:
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.’
Hath made many a one to be stumbling, Yea fallen is every one against his neighbour, So they have said—Arise and let us return to our own people, And unto the land of our birth, From the face of the sword of the oppressor.
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.’
Proclaim ye a name, —Pharaoh, king of Egypt—a Sound! He hath overstepped 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, Yahweh of hosts, is his name: Though Like Tabor among mountains, Like Carmel, Into the sea shall he go!
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.
Baggage for captivity, prepare thee, O inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; For, Noph, shall become a desolation, And be burned without inhabitant.
20 “Ijipt mara mma dịka nne ehi, ma ijiji nke si nʼakụkụ ugwu, na-abịa imegide ya.
A calf of great beauty, is Egypt: The gad-fly, out of the North, cometh—cometh.
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.
Even her hirelings in her midst are like fatted calves, For, even they, have turned—have fled at once! have made no stand! For, their day of doom, hath come upon them, 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.
Her noise, like a serpent, departeth, —For, with a force, they advance, And with axes, have they come against her, like them who fell trees:
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 have cut down her forest Declareth Yahweh, Surely he cannot be searched out, —For they have outnumbered locusts, and cannot be counted.
24 A ga-eme ka ihere mee Ada Ijipt, mgbe e nyefere ya nʼaka ndị si nʼakụkụ ugwu bịa.”
Put to shame is the daughter of Egypt, —She hath been 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.
Saith Yahweh of host God of Israel, —Behold me! bringing punishment—against Amon of No, and upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and upon her gods and upon her kings, —Even upon Pharaoh, and upon all 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 them who are seeking their life, Even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon And into the hand of his servants, —And after that, shall it be inhabited as in the days of old Declareth Yahweh.
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.
Thou, therefore, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob Nor be dismayed O Israel, For behold me! Saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, —So shall Jacob return and be quiet and shall rest, With none to occasion alarm.
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.”
Thou, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob, Urgeth Yahweh, For, with thee, am I: Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, Yet of thee, will I not make an end, But will correct thee in measure, And not hold thee, guiltless,
