Jeremias 46
1 Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a profeta maipanggep kadagiti nasion.
In the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about foreign nations.
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:
This concerns Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt and the Egyptian army which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
3 Isaganayo dagiti babassit ken dagiti dadakkel a kalasag, ket mapankayo makigubat.
Pick up both your small and large shields, and advance ready for battle!
4 Isaganayo dagiti kabalio ket agsakaykayo kadagitoy, dakayo a kumakabalio. Agpuestokayo, ken aghelmetkayo. Asaenyo dagiti gayang ken agkabalkayo.
Put the harnesses on the horses and get into your chariots; take your positions with your helmets on! Sharpen your spears; put on your 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—
Why do I see their lines broken and retreating? Their soldiers are defeated. They run away so quickly they don't even look back because they're so terrified by what's happening around them, declares 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.
Even the fastest of them can't get away; the soldiers can't escape. There in the north beside the Euphrates they fall and die.
7 Siasino daytoy a dumakkel a kas iti Karayan Nilo, a dagiti danumna ket agallo-allon a kas kadagiti karayan?
Who is this that's coming, rising like the Nile, like swirling rivers whose waters flood?
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 is rising like the Nile; its waters swirl like flooding rivers, boasting, “I will rise and sweep over the earth; I will destroy towns and the people in them.”
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.'
Horses, charge in! Chariots, drive like crazy! Have the infantry advance: soldiers from Ethiopia and Put carrying their shields, archers from Lydia with their bows.
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.
But this is the day of the Lord God Almighty, a day of retribution when he takes vengeance on his enemies. The sword will destroy until it is satisfied, until it's had enough of their blood. The Lord God Almighty is having a sacrifice in the north country beside the 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.
Go and find some healing ointment in Gilead, Virgin Daughter of Egypt! But whatever you use to help you will fail, because there's nothing that will heal you.
12 Nangngeg dagiti nasion ti pannakaibabainmo. Napunno ti daga kadagiti panagdungdung-awmo, ta agdidinnungpar dagiti soldado; ket mapasagda a padapada.”
The other nations have heard how you were humiliated in defeat. Everyone can hear your cries of pain. Soldiers fall over each other, and die 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:
This is the message that the Lord gave to Jeremiah the prophet about the attack by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon on 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.
Shout a warning in Egypt! Tell everyone in Migdol, and in Memphis and Tahpanhes: Get ready to defend yourselves, because war is destroying 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 did Apis your bull god run away? He couldn't stand his ground because the Lord has knocked him down.
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.”
Many soldiers trip and fall over one another and say, “Come on! Let's get back home to our people where we were born, otherwise we're going to be killed.”
17 Imbagada sadiay, “Ni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto ket maysa laeng nga ariwawa, maysa a tao a nangitulok a mapukaw ti gundawayna.”
When they get there they'll say about Pharaoh king of Egypt, “He just makes a lot of noise. He wasted his opportunity.”
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, declares the King who has the name “the Lord Almighty,” the king of Babylon will come. He is like Mount Tabor that stands out from the other mountains, like Mount Carmel high above the sea.
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.
Pack your bags ready for exile, daughter living in Egypt! Memphis is going to be destroyed, an empty place where no one lives.
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 a beautiful young cow, but a stinging insect from the north is coming to attack her.
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.
The soldiers that Egypt hired are like calves made fat for slaughter. They will also retreat. They won't stand and fight—they will all run away. Their day of destruction is coming; the time when they'll be punished.
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.
The Egyptians will retreat with a rustle like a snake sliding away, because the enemy will attack them with axes, coming at them like wood-cutters chopping down trees.
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 will cut them down like a thick forest, declares the Lord, because the invaders are like a swarm of locusts—there's so many of them that they can't be counted.
24 Mapabainanto ti anak a babai ti Egipto. Maiyawatto isuna kadagiti tattao a naggapu iti amianan.”
The people of Egypt will be humiliated. They will be handed over to 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 Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch, because I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and Pharaoh. I will punish the people of Egypt with their gods and kings, and everyone who trusts in Pharaoh.
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.”
I'm going to hand them over to those who want to kill them, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after all this happens, people will live in Egypt as they used to, declares 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.
But you, descendants of Jacob my servant, you don't have to be fearful. Israelites, you don't need to be discouraged. I promise to rescue you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. You will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
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.”'''
You descendants of Jacob, don't be afraid! declares the Lord, for I will be with you. I will completely destroy all the nations where I've scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
