Jeremia 26
1 Ie tam-baloham-pifehea’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, le niheo eo ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Aelam.
2 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mijohaña an-kiririsan’anjomba’Iehovà eo vaho tseizo amo rova’ Iehodà iaby miheo mb’eo hitalaho añ’anjomba’ Iehovào, ze hene entañe lilieko azo hitaroñañe; leo tsara raike tsy hapo’o.
FOR EGYPT, AGAINST THE POWER OF PHARAO NECHAO KING OF EGYPT, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.
3 Hera hañaoñe iereo, songa hiamboho amo sata rati’eo; soa te hihahak’ amy hekoheko nisafirieko hanoeñe am’ iereo ty amo haloloam-pitoloña’ iareooy.
Take up arms and spears, and draw near to battle;
4 Le hoe ty hanoa’o: Hoe t’Iehovà: Aa naho tsy mijanjiñe ahy, hañavelo amy Hàke tinaroko añatrefa’ areoy,
and harness the horses: mount, you horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breastplates.
5 hitsendreñe i saontsi’ o mpitoky mpitoroko niraheko ama’ areo, nampañampitsoeñe naho niraheñeo, fe tsy hinao’ areoy;
Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, says the Lord.
6 aa le hampanahafeko amy Silò ty anjomba toy, vaho hanoeko fatse amy ze kila fifeheañe an-tane atoy ty rova toy.
Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.
7 Jinanji’ o mpisoroñeo naho o mpitokio vaho ondaty iabio i tsara nisaontsie’ Iirmeà añ’anjomba’ Iehovày.
Who is this [that] shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll [their] waves?
8 Ie fonga nihenefa’ Iirmeà taroñe i nandilia’ Iehovà aze ho saontsieñe am’ ondaty iabio, le namihiñe aze o mpisoroñeo naho o mpitokio vaho ze hene ondaty, nanao ty hoe: Toe havetrake irehe.
The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.
9 Ino ty nitokie’o amy tahina’ Iehovày ty hoe: Hanahake i Silo ty anjomba toy, vaho hangoakoake ty rova toy, tsy ho amam-pimoneñe? Le hene niropak’ am’ Iieremea ondaty añ’anjomba’ Iehovào.
Mount you the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, you warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, you Lydians, bend the bow.
10 Ie nahajanjiñe i hoe zay o roandria’ Iehodào, le niakatse ty anjomba’ i mpanjakay vaho nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao; niambesatse ami’ty fizilihañe amy lalam-bey vao’ i anjomba’ Iehovày eo.
And that day [shall be] to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord [has] a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.
11 Le nisaontsy amo roandriañeo naho amo hene’ ondatio o mpisoroñeo naho o mpitokio, nanao ty hoe: Mañeva havetrake t’indaty tia; amy te nitokie’e raty ty rova toy, i jinanjin-dravembia’ areoy.
Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain have you multiplied your medicines; there is no help in you.
12 Le nitaroñe’ Iirmeà o roandriañeo naho ze hene’ ondaty eo nanao ty hoe: Nirahe’ Iehovà iraho hamàtse ty anjomba toy naho ty rova toy amy tsara jinanji’ areo iabiy.
The nations have heard your voice, and the land has been filled with your cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together.
13 Avantaño arè o sata’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areoo, vaho haoño ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo; le hihahak’ amy hankàñe nitseiza’e t’Iehovà.
THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt.
14 Fa naho izaho, heheke te am-pità’ areo; ano amako ze mete naho mahity am-pihaino’ areo.
Proclaim [it] at Magdol, and declare [it] at Memphis: say you, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured your yew tree.
15 Fe mahafohina an-katò te ie añohofa’ areo loza, le ho lio-màliñe ama’ areo naho an-drova atoy vaho amo mpimone’eo; fa toe nirahe’ Iehovà ama’ areo iraho hivolañe i hene tsara zay an-dravembia’ areo ao.
Therefore has Apis fled from you? your choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.
16 Aa le hoe o roandriañeo naho ze hene’ ondaty amo mpisoroñeo naho amo mpitokio: Tsy mañeva ho vonoeñe ondatio; amy te nitaroñe aman-tika ami’ty tahina’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika.
And your multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbour, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.
17 Niongak’ amy zao ty ila’ o androanavi’ i taneio vaho nisaontsy amy fivori’ ondatioy nanao ty hoe:
Call you the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.
18 Nitoky tañ’ andro’ i Kizkià mpanjaka’ Iehodà t’i Mika nte-Morasete vaho nitaroñe ty hoe amy ze hene ondati’ Iehodà: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho rokafeñe hoe hatsake ty Tsione, naho ho kivotrivotry t’Ierosalaime, vaho hanahake o ankaboañe añ’alao ty vohi’ i anjombay
[As] I live, says the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion amongst the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.
19 Nañoho-doza ama’e hao ty Kizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà naho Iehodà iaby? Te mone nañeveñe am’ Iehovà nihalaly ty fañisoha’ Iehovà, vaho nihahak’ amy fe-hohatse nitsarae’e am’ iereoy t’Iehovà? Aa kera hampivotrahan-tika hankàñe o fiaintikañeo.
O daughter of Egypt dwelling [at home], prepare you stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.
20 Teo ka t’indaty nitoky ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà, i Orià ana’ i Semaia, boak’e Kiriate Iearime; le nitokie’e fatse ty rova toy naho ty tane toy manahake i sinaontsi’ Iirmeà abikey;
Egypt is a fair heifer, [but] destruction from the north is come upon her.
21 fa ie nahatsanoñe o enta’eo t’Iehoiakime mpanjaka naho o fanalolahi’e iabio, naho o roandria’e iabio, le nipay hañoho doza ama’e i mpanjakay; fe nahajanjiñe izay t’i Oria le nihembañe vaho nivoratsake mb’e Mitsraime mb’ eo;
Also her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
22 le nampihitrife’ Iehoiakime mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo t’ indaty; i Elnatane ana’ i Akbore rekets’ ondaty tsy ampeampeo ty nimb’e Mitsraime añe;
Their voice is as [that] of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.
23 le nendese’ iereo boake Mitsraime añe t’i Orià naho nasese’ iareo am’ Iehoiakime mpanjaka; zinevo’e am-pibara vaho navokovoko’e an-kibori’ o ana’ ondatio.
They shall cut down her forest, says the Lord, for [their number] can’t at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.
24 Fe nañimba Iirmeà ty fità’ i Ahikame ana’ i Safane, tsy nitolorañe am-pità’ondatio ho vonoeñe.
The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.
Behold, I [will] avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.
But fear not you, my servant Jacob, neither be you alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.
Fear not you, my servant Jacob, says the Lord; for I am with you: she [that was] without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation amongst whom I have thrust you forth; but I will not cause you to fail: yet will I chastise you in the way of judgement, and will not hold you entirely guiltless.
