< Jeremias 46 >

1 Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a profeta maipanggep kadagiti nasion.
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles,
2 Maipapan iti Egipto: “Maipanggep daytoy iti armada ni Faraon Neco nga ari ti Egipto nga adda idiay Carkemis iti asideg ti Karayan Eufrates. Daytoy ti armada a pinarmek ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia iti maika-uppat a tawen a panagturay ni Jehoiakim a putot ni Josias, a kas ari ti Juda:
about Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, which was beside the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, struck down, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah:
3 Isaganayo dagiti babassit ken dagiti dadakkel a kalasag, ket mapankayo makigubat.
“‘Prepare the heavy and the light shield, and advance to war!
4 Isaganayo dagiti kabalio ket agsakaykayo kadagitoy, dakayo a kumakabalio. Agpuestokayo, ken aghelmetkayo. Asaenyo dagiti gayang ken agkabalkayo.
Harness the horses, and let the horsemen climb upon them! Stand forth with helmets! Sharpen the lances! Clothe yourselves in armor!’
5 Ania ti makitak ditoy? Mabutbutengda unay ken agtatarayda, ta naparmeken dagiti soldadoda. Agtatarayda nga aglemmeng ket saanda a tumalliaw. Adda panagbuteng iti sadinoman—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—
And what is next? I have seen them terrified, and turning their backs, their strong ones cut down. They have fled in disorder and have not looked back. Terror on every side, says the Lord.
6 saan a makaadayo dagiti napartak a tumaray, ket saan a makalibas dagiti soldado. Maitibkolda iti amianan ket matumbada iti igid ti Karayan Eufrates.
Let not the swift take flight; let not the strong ones think to save themselves. They have been conquered and ruined, toward the north, near the river Euphrates.
7 Siasino daytoy a dumakkel a kas iti Karayan Nilo, a dagiti danumna ket agallo-allon a kas kadagiti karayan?
Who is this, who ascends like a flood, and whose streams swell up, like those of the rivers?
8 Dumakkel ti Egipto a kas iti Karayan Nilo, ket agallo-allon dagiti danumna a kas iti karayan. Kuna daytoy, 'Dumakkelak; lapunusek ti daga. Dadaelek dagiti siudad ken dagiti agnanaed kadagitoy.
Egypt ascends in the form of a river, and its waves will be moved like those of a river. And he will say: ‘I will ascend and cover the earth! I will perish the city and its inhabitants!’
9 Sumang-atkayo, dakayo a kabalio. Agungetkayo, dakayo a karuahe. Paruarenyo dagiti soldado, Cus ken Put, lallaki a maingel ken addaan kadagiti kalasag, ken Ludim, lallaki a nalaing a pumapana.'
Mount the horses, and exult upon chariots, and let the strong ones advance: the Ethiopians, and the Libyans, who hold the heavy shield, and the Lydians, who grasp and shoot arrows.
10 Daytanto ti aldaw a panagibales ti Apo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, ket balsennanto dagiti kabusorna. Mangalun-onto ti kampilan ket mapnekto daytoy. Inumento daytoy dagiti darada. Ta addanto daton para iti Apo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin iti akin-amianan a daga iti igid ti Karayan Eufrates.
For this is the day of the Lord, the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, so that he may vindicate himself of his enemies. The sword will devour, and be satiated, and be inebriated with their blood. For there is a victim of the Lord, the God of hosts, in the land of the north, beside the river Euphrates.
11 Sumang-atka idiay Galaad ket mangalaka iti agas, sika a birhen nga anak a babai ti Egipto. Awan serserbi ti panangikabilmo iti adu nga agas iti bagim. Awan ti makapaimbag kenka.
Ascend to Gilead, and take its balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt! It is in vain that you multiply medicines; there will be no health for you!
12 Nangngeg dagiti nasion ti pannakaibabainmo. Napunno ti daga kadagiti panagdungdung-awmo, ta agdidinnungpar dagiti soldado; ket mapasagda a padapada.”
The nations have heard of your disgrace, and your wailing has filled the earth. For the strong have stumbled against the strong, and both have fallen together.”
13 Kastoy ti sao nga imbaga ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias a profeta idi immay ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia ket rinautna ti daga ti Egipto:
The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning how Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, would arrive and strike the land of Egypt:
14 “Ipadamagmo iti Egipto ket ipangngegmo iti Migdol ken Memfis. Kinunada iti Tapanes, 'Agpuestokayo ken agsaganakayo, a mangikaluya kadagiti bagbagiyo, ta alun-unento ti kampilan dagiti amin nga adda iti aglawlawyo.
“Announce it to Egypt, and make it heard in Migdol, and let it resonate in Memphis and in Tahpanhes. Say this: Stand and prepare yourself! For the sword will devour everything around you.
15 Apay ngarud a timmaray ti didiosenyo a ni Apis? Apay a saan a makatakder ti didiosenyo a kalakian a baka. Tinulid isuna ni Yahweh.
Why have your strong ones decayed? They have not stood firm, because the Lord has overthrown them.
16 Naynayunanna ti bilang dagiti maitibtibkol. Matumtumba dagiti soldado ket uray da la agpipinnandag. Ibagbagada, “Tumakdertayo. Agawidtayon. Agsublitayo kadagiti tattaotayo, iti daga a nakaiyanakantayo. Panawantayon daytoy a kampilan a mangparparmek kadatayo.”
He has multiplied those in ruin, and each man has fallen beside his neighbor. And they will say: ‘Rise up, and let us return to our own people and to the land of our nativity, away from the face of the sword of the dove.
17 Imbagada sadiay, “Ni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto ket maysa laeng nga ariwawa, maysa a tao a nangitulok a mapukaw ti gundawayna.”
Call the name of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt: ‘Time has brought tumult.’
18 “Siak a Dios nga adda iti agnanayon—kastoy ti pakaammo ti ari—ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganko, addanto umay a kas iti Bantay Tabor ken Bantay Carmel iti igid ti baybay.
As I live, says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, just as Tabor is among the mountains, and just as Carmel is beside the sea, so will he come.
19 Isaganayo dagiti gargaretyo para iti pannakaipanawyo a kas balud, dakayo nga annak a babbai nga agnanaed idiay Egipto. Ta ti Memfis ket agbalinto a makapabuteng ken langalang, isu nga awanto iti agnaed sadiay.
Equip yourself for the transmigration, O daughter who inhabits Egypt. For Memphis will be in desolation, and it will be deserted and uninhabited.
20 Ti Egipto ket maysa a napintas nga urbon a baka, ngem umayto ti insekto nga agkagat a naggapu iti amianan. Umayto daytoy.
Egypt is like a stately and finely-formed calf. The one who will goad her will come from the north.
21 Dagiti natangdanan a soldadona ket kasla napalukmeg a baka, ngem agsanudda ken agtarayda. Saanda a sangsangkamaysa a makiranget, ta umayto ti aldaw ti pannakadidigrada, ti tiempo ti pannakadusada.
Her hired hands also, who move within her midst, like fatted calves have been turned back, and they have fled at the same time, and they are not able to stand firm. For the day of their passing away has overwhelmed them; it is the time of their visitation.
22 Agkarasakas ti Egipto a kas iti uleg ken aguyas nga umadayo, ta um-umayen dagiti kabusorna. Agturongda kenkuana a kas kadagiti lallaki a pumupukan iti kayo a nagtagiwasay.
Her voice will sound out like brass. For they will rush forward with an army, and with axes they will come against her, like those who chop wood.
23 Putdendanto dagiti kaykayo kadagiti kabakiran—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—uray no kabakbakiran daytoy. Ta ad-adunto dagiti kabusor ngem kadagiti dudon, a saan a mabilang.
They have cut down her forest, says the Lord, which was not able to be counted. They have been multiplied more than locusts, and they are without number.
24 Mapabainanto ti anak a babai ti Egipto. Maiyawatto isuna kadagiti tattao a naggapu iti amianan.”
The daughter of Egypt has been confounded, and she has been delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakablin-amin a Dios ti Israel, “Dumngegkayo, dandanin ti panangdusak kenni Amon a didiosen ti Tebes, ni Faraon, iti Egipto ken kadagiti didiosenna, dagiti ari daytoy a Faraon, ken dagiti agtaltalek kadakuada.
The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: Behold, I will visit against the tumult of Alexandria, and against Pharaoh, and against Egypt, and against her gods, and against her kings, and against Pharaoh, and against those who trust in him.
26 Iyawatkonto ida kadagiti mangayat a mangkettel iti biagda, iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia ken kadagiti adipenna. Ket kalpasan daytoy, addanto manen agnaed iti Egipto a kas idi un-unana nga al-aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
And I will give them over to the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. And after this, it shall be inhabited, just as in the former days, says the Lord.
27 Ngem sika, Jacob nga adipenko, saanka nga agbuteng. Saanka a maupay, Israel, ta dumngegka, umadanin ti panangisublik kenka manipud iti adayo, ken dagiti kaputotam manipud iti daga a nakaipananda a kas balud. Ket agsublinto ni Jacob, makasarak iti kappia ken natalgedto, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mamagbuteng kenkuana.
And as for you, my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, and you should not dread, O Israel. For behold, I will bring your salvation from afar, and your offspring from the land of your captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he will prosper. And there will be no one who may terrify him.
28 Sika Jacob nga adipenko, saanka nga agbuteng—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta addaak kenka, iyegkonto ngarud ti naan-anay a pannakadadael maibusor kadagiti amin a nasion a nangiwarawaraak kenka. Ngem saanka a dadaelen a naan-anay. Ngem sililinteg nga aturenka ken dusaenkanto a dusaen.”'''
And as for you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid, says the Lord. For I am with you. For I will consume all the nations to which I have cast you out. Yet truly, I will not consume you. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, but neither will I spare you, as if you were innocent.”
