Jeremia 46
1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah Izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ ny jentilisa.
This is the word of the LORD about the nations—the word that came to Jeremiah the prophet
2 Ny amin’ i Egypta. Ny amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Farao-neko, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, izay teny amoron’ ny ony Eofrata, tany Karkemisy, dia ilay resin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda:
concerning Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 Mitaova amin’ ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe, ka mandrosoa hiady;
“Deploy your shields, small and large; advance for battle!
4 Fehezo amin’ ny kalesy ny soavaly, ary itaingeno ny soavaly fitaingina; Mijoroa tsara ianareo, ka samia misatroka fiarovan-doha; Fotsio ny lefona, miakanjoa ny akanjo fiarovan-tena.
Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears; put on armor!
5 Indrisy ny ahitako azy! raiki-tahotra sy miamboho izy, ary ny maheriny aza dia efa ripaka, sady miezaka mandositra izy ka tsy miherika akory; Fa misy fampangorohoroana manodidina, hoy Jehovah.
Why am I seeing this? They are terrified, they are retreating; their warriors are defeated, they flee in haste without looking back; terror is on every side!”
6 Tsy ho afa-mandositra ny haingan-tongotra, na ho afaka ny mahery; Any avaratra eo amoron’ ny ony Eofrata no hahatafintohina sy hahalavo azy.
“The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall.
7 Iza moa izato mizotra tahaka an’ i Neily, ary ny onjany misamboaravoara toy ny renirano
Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn?
8 Egypta mizotra tahaka an’ i Neily, ary ny onjany misamboaravoara toy ny renirano, ary hoy izy: Hizotra aho ka hanafotra ny tany; Haringako ny tanàna sy ny mponina ao aminy.
Egypt rises like the Nile, and its waters churn like rivers, boasting, ‘I will rise and cover the earth; I will destroy the cities and their people.’
9 Miakara, ianareo soavaly, ary miriota toy ny adala, ianareo kalesy; Ary aoka hivoaka ny lehilahy mahery, dia ny Etiopiana sy ny Libyana, izay mitana ampinga, ary ny Lydiana, izay mitana sy manenjana tsipìka.
Advance, O horses! Race furiously, O chariots! Let the warriors come forth— Cush and Put carrying their shields, men of Lydia drawing the bow.
10 Fa izao andro izao dia an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ho andro famaliana hamaliany ny fahavalony; Ary ny sabatra hihinana ka ho voky sy ho mamon’ ny ran’ ireo; Fa ny Tompo, dia Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra any amin’ ny tany avaratra ao amoron’ ny ony Eofrata.
For that day belongs to the Lord GOD of Hosts, a day of vengeance against His foes. The sword will devour until it is satisfied, until it is quenched with their blood. For the Lord GOD of Hosts will hold a sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.
11 Miakara any Gileada, ka makà balsama, ry Egypta zanakavavy virijina; Foana ny nanaovanao fanafody maro, fa tsy manana plasitera hapetaka amin’ ny ferinao ianao,
Go up to Gilead for balm, O Virgin Daughter of Egypt! In vain you try many remedies, but for you there is no healing.
12 Efa ren’ ny firenena ny henatrao, ary ny fiantsoantsoanao nanenika ny tany; fa mifandona ny samy mahery, ka miara-davo izy roa tonta.
The nations have heard of your shame, and your outcry fills the earth, because warrior stumbles over warrior and both of them have fallen together.”
13 Ny teny izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ ny hihavian’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, hamely ny tany Egypta.
This is the word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt:
14 Ambaraonareo any Egypta, ary torio any Migdola, eny, torio any Memfisa sy Tapanesa, ka ataovy hoe: Mijoroa tsara ianao, ka miomàna; Fa mandringana manodidina anao ny sabatra.
“Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it in Memphis and Tahpanhes: ‘Take your positions and prepare yourself, for the sword devours those around you.’
15 Nahoana no voapaoka ny maherinao? Tsy nahafahatra izy, satria Jehovah no nandroaka azy.
Why have your warriors been laid low? They cannot stand, for the LORD has thrust them down.
16 Efa nahatafintohina ny maro Izy, ka lavo mifanindry ireo; Dia hoy ireo: Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hiverina ho any amin’ ny firenentsika sy ho any amin’ ny tany nahaterahantsika ho afaka amin’ ny sabatra mandoza,
They continue to stumble; indeed, they have fallen over one another. They say, ‘Get up! Let us return to our people and to the land of our birth, away from the sword of the oppressor.’
17 Nitaraina tany izy hoe: Tabataba foana Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, efa nandiso ny fotoana izy.
There they will cry out: ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise; he has let the appointed time pass him by.’
18 Raha velona koa Aho, hoy ny Mpanjaka, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany: Tahaka an’ i Tabara amin’ ny tendrombohitra, sy tahaka an’ i Karmela ao amoron-dranomasina, dia ho tahaka izany no hihaviany.
As surely as I live, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts, there will come one who is like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea.
19 Ry Egypta zanakavavy mponina, Mifeheza entana ho entinao any amin’ ny fahababoana; Fa ho tonga tany lao Memfisa, eny, hodorana izy, ka tsy hisy mponina.
Pack your bags for exile, O daughter dwelling in Egypt! For Memphis will be laid waste, destroyed and uninhabited.
20 Egypta dia tahaka ny ombivavy kely tsara tarehy dia tsara tarehy; Fa injay! tamy, eny, tamy ny fihitra avy any avaratra!
Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly from the north is coming against her.
21 Na dia ny olona karamaina ao aminy aza, izay tahaka ny ombilahy kely mifahy, ireny koa dia mihodìna ka samy mandositra avokoa; Tsy mahajanona izy, fa efa tonga aminy ny andro hahitany loza, dia ny andro hamaliana azy.
Even the mercenaries among her are like fattened calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them— the time of their punishment.
22 Ny feony dia toy ny fikasaotsaoky ny menarana mandeha; Fa mandeha hitondra miaramila izy ka avy hamely azy amin’ ny famaky toy ny mpikapa hazo.
Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent, for the enemy will advance in force; with axes they will come against her like woodsmen cutting down trees.
23 Kapainy ny alany, hoy Jehovah, satria efa nikirindro loatra; Fa maro noho ny valala izy ka tsy tambo isaina.
They will chop down her forest, declares the LORD, dense though it may be, for they are more numerous than locusts; they cannot be counted.
24 Ho afa-baraka Egypta zanakavavy, Hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny olona any avaratra izy.
The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be delivered into the hands of the people of the north.”
25 Ary hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Indro, hovaliako Amona avy any Nô Ary Farao sy Egypta mbamin’ ny andriamaniny sy ny mpanjakany, dia Farao sy izay rehetra matoky azy;
The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I am about to punish Amon god of Thebes, along with Pharaoh, Egypt with her gods and kings, and those who trust in Pharaoh.
26 Ary hatolotro eo an-tànan’ izay mitady ny ainy izy, dia eo an-tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy eo an-tànan’ ny mpanompony; Ary aorian’ izany, dia handry fahizay toy ny tamin’ ny andro fahiny ihany izy, hoy Jehovah.
I will deliver them into the hands of those who seek their lives—of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after this, Egypt will be inhabited as in days of old, declares the LORD.
27 Fa aza matahotra ianao, ry Jakoba mpanompoko, ary aza mivadi-po, ry Isiraely; Fa, indro, hovonjeko avy any amin’ ny lavitra ianao, ary ny taranakao avy any amin’ ny tany nahababo azy; Dia hiverina Jakoba ka hiadana, eny, handry fahizay izy, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
But you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.
28 Aza matahotra ianao, ry Jakoba mpanompoko, hoy Jehovah, fa momba anao Aho; Fa na dia levoniko aza ny firenena rehetra izay nandroahako anao, ianao tsy mba holevoniko, nefa kosa mba hanariko araka ny antonony ihany ianao, fa tsy dia havelako fotsiny.
And you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, for I am with you. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have banished you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
