Jeremia 46
1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah Izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ ny jentilisa.
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the nations:
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, against the army of Pharaoh-necho the king of Egypt, which was [posted] by the river Euphrates in Karkemish, which Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah.
3 Mitaova amin’ ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe, ka mandrosoa hiady;
Make ye ready shield and buckler, and draw near to the 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, and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets: sharpen the spears, and put on the coats of mail.
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.
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed, moving backward? while their mighty ones are beaten down, and seek safety in flight, and look not back? There is terror round about, saith the Lord.
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 away, nor can the mighty man escape: toward the north by the shore of the river Euphrates do they stumble and fall.
7 Iza moa izato mizotra tahaka an’ i Neily, ary ny onjany misamboaravoara toy ny renirano
Who is this that cometh up like a stream, whose waters are upheaved like the rivers?
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 cometh up like a stream, and like the rivers are the waters upheaved; and he saith, I will go up, I will cover the land; I will destroy the city and those that dwell therein.
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.
Come up, ye horses; and rush along wildly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: Cush and Put, that grasp the shield, and the Ludim, that grasp and bend 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.
And this same day is for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, a day of vengeance, to be avenged on his adversaries; that the sword may devour, and may be satiated and made drunken with their blood; for there is a sacrifice for the Lord the Eternal of hosts in the north country 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 into Gil'ad, and fetch balm, O virgin, daughter of Egypt: in vain usest thou many remedies; there is no recovery for thee.
12 Efa ren’ ny firenena ny henatrao, ary ny fiantsoantsoanao nanenika ny tany; fa mifandona ny samy mahery, ka miara-davo izy roa tonta.
Nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry of anguish hath filled the earth; for the mighty man over the mighty have they stumbled, together are both of them fallen.
13 Ny teny izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ ny hihavian’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, hamely ny tany Egypta.
The word which the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, to smite 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 ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Thachpanches: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thyself; for the sword devoureth round about thee.
15 Nahoana no voapaoka ny maherinao? Tsy nahafahatra izy, satria Jehovah no nandroaka azy.
Why are thy valiant men swept away? not one hath stood, because the Lord did drive him off.
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,
He caused many to stumble; yea, one also fell over the other; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from before the wasting sword.
17 Nitaraina tany izy hoe: Tabataba foana Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, efa nandiso ny fotoana izy.
They called out there, Pharaoh is king of Egypt, it was but vaunting, he hath let the time appointed pass 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 I live, saith the King, the Lord of hosts is his name, Surely as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel is by the sea, so shall he come.
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.
Appurtenances of exile make for thyself, O thou inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; for Noph shall be made a waste and be left desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Egypta dia tahaka ny ombivavy kely tsara tarehy dia tsara tarehy; Fa injay! tamy, eny, tamy ny fihitra avy any avaratra!
O fairest heifer, Egypt! the butcher from the north cometh, he cometh.
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.
Also her hired troops in the midst of her are like fatted calves; for they also are turned round, are fled away together, they do not stand; because the day of their calamity is come 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.
Her cry shall come like [the hissing of] a serpent; for with an army shall they march, and with axes do they come against her, like hewers of wood.
23 Kapainy ny alany, hoy Jehovah, satria efa nikirindro loatra; Fa maro noho ny valala izy ka tsy tambo isaina.
They cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched out; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and there is no number to them.
24 Ho afa-baraka Egypta zanakavavy, Hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny olona any avaratra izy.
Ashamed hath been made the daughter of Egypt: she hath been given up into the hand 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, hath said, Behold, I will send visitation on Ahmon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, and on her gods, and on her kings; even on Pharaoh, and on those that trust on him;
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.
And I will give them up into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward shall she be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith 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 thou, —fear thou not, 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 he shall be at rest and at ease, with none 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.
Thou, —fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: and although I make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; and I will correct thee in measure; yet wholly will I not leave thee unpunished.
