Jeremia 46
1 Niheo am’Iirmeà, mpitoky ty tsara’ Iehovà ty amo fifeheañeo;
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the nations:
2 ty amy Mitsraime, i mpirai-lian-dahin-defo’ i Parò-Neko mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey, ie añolo’ i Saka-Perate e Karkemise ao, le ginio’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, amy taom-paha-efa’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosià mpanjaka’ Iehodày.
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 Ihentseño ty fañeba naho ty fikalan-defo, vaho itotoho i hotakotakey.
Make ye ready shield and buckler, and draw near to the battle.
4 Aombeo laboridy o soavalao, naho miningira, ry mpiningi-tsoavalao; mijohaña eo reketse kalan-doha; fotìo o lefoñeo, aombeo o sarom-bìo.
Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets: sharpen the spears, and put on the coats of mail.
5 Akore t’ie treako hoe lonjetse naho miamboho? Finofok’ ambane o fanalolahi’eo, fa nitriban-day mb’eo, vaho tsy nitolik’ am-boho, fa niarikatoha’ ty firevendreveñañe, hoe t’Iehovà.
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 hahafiorotse ty masìka, tsy hahafivoratsake ty fanalolahy; mitsikapy vaho mikorovoke mb’avaratse añe iereo, marine i Saka-Peratey.
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 Ia ty hambañ’am’Ieore mitroatroakey, manahake o saka misorotombake hanginahina’eo?
Who is this that cometh up like a stream, whose waters are upheaved like the rivers?
8 Manahake Ieore t’i Mitsraime amy fitabatroaha’ o rano’eoy; ie manao ty hoe: Hitroatse iraho, hanginahina naho hampiopo ty tane toy, toe harotsako i rovay naho o mpimoneñe ama’eo.
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 Mionjona ry soavalao, mionara ry sareteo; ampivavaro mb’etoy o fanalolahio, o nte-Kose naho nte-Pote mahafitàm-pikalan-defoñeo, o nte-Lode mahatañe naho mahafibitsoke faleo.
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 Amy te hanañ’ androm-pañondroha’e t’i Talè Iehovà’ i Màroy, hamalea’e fate o rafelahi’eo, hampibotsehañe i fibaray ampara’ te etsake naho mamo ami’ty lio’ iareo; fa manao soroñe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, an-tane avaratse, marine’ i Saka-Peratey.
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 Mionjona mb’e Gilade mb’eo, mitohà fatevo ry anak’ ampela’ i Mitsraimeo; fonga tsy jefa’e o aoly anoe’oo, toe tsy eo ty hampijangañe azo.
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 Fa jinanji’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty fisalara’o, vaho manitsike ty tane toy ty fikoikoiha’o, fa nitsikapy amy maozatsey ty fanalolahy, sindre nihotrake.
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 Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà mpitoky, te hanao akore ty hionjona’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele mb’an-tane Mitsraime mb’eo handafa aze?
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 Tseizo’ areo e Mitsraime ao, koiho e Migdole, koiho-lava e Nofe naho e Tafanese, vaho ano ty hoe: Mijohaña vaho mihentseña fa hampibotsek’ añ’ariary azo i fibaray.
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 Akore te nafaoke añe o maoza’oo? Ie tsy nahafitroatse amy te tinindri’ Iehovà ambane.
Why are thy valiant men swept away? not one hath stood, because the Lord did drive him off.
16 Maro ty tsinikapi’e; eka songa mifampikorovoke vaho manao ty hoe: Miongaha, antao himpoly mb’am’ondatin-tika mb’eo, mb’an-tane nahatoly an-tikañe añe, hienga ty fijoia’ i fibaray.
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 Ty hoe ty nikoihe’ iereo añe: Koràk’ avao t’i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime; Napo’e hihelañe añe i ni-fantañañey.
They called out there, Pharaoh is king of Egypt, it was but vaunting, he hath let the time appointed pass by.
18 Kanao velon-dRaho hoe i Mpanjakay, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e, Toe hanahak’ i Tabore am-bohitsey naho i Karmele añ’olon-driake añe, Ty higodaña’e mb’etoy.
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 O ry anak’ampela mpimoneñe e Mitsraime ao, mivatia handenà’o mb’am-pandrohizañe añe, fa ho tanàn-taolo ty Nofe, hampangoakoaheñe tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
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 Kiloa fanjaka t’i Mitsraime fe boak’ avaratse añe ty lale-boròñe hamongotse—toe ho avy.
O fairest heifer, Egypt! the butcher from the north cometh, he cometh.
21 Manahake ty sarak’ an-jolok’ ao, o lahin-defo mpikarama añivo’eo, fa nivalike ka iereo; niharo nibotatsake, tsy nahafijohañe, fa tondroke ty andron-kankà’ iareo, ty androm-pitilihañe iareo.
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 Hoe mereñe ty fikosasaha’e ie misoroke o lahindefo’eo, mikovovoke mb’am-pisorohañ’aze o lahindefoñeo, ie mitoañ’ aze am-pekoñe hoe mpañatsak’ ala.
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 Hinatsa’ iareo i alay, hoe t’Iehovà, fa tsy lefe volilieñe; amy t’ie maro te amo valalao, mitozantozañe.
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 Nisalareñe ty anak’ ampela’ i Mitsraime; fa natolotse am-pità’ ondaty avaratse añe.
Ashamed hath been made the daughter of Egypt: she hath been given up into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israrele, Ho liloveko t’i Amone nte-No naho i Parò, naho i Mitsraime, rekets’ o ‘ndrahare’eo, naho o mpanjaka’eo; toe i Parò naho ze miato ama’e.
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 Hatoloko am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’eo naho am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele naho am-pità’ o mpitoro’eo; ie añe, le ho fimoneñañe indraike re manahake te taolo, hoe t’Iehovà.
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 Aa le ko hemban-drehe ry Iakobe mpitoroko, naho ko lonjetse ry Israele; fa ho rombaheko boake tsietoitane añe, naho ty tiri’o an-tanem-pandrohiza’ iareo; himpoly t’Iakobe, naho hierañerañe, le tsy eo ty hañembañe aze ka.
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 Ko hemban-drehe ry Iakobe mpitoroko, hoe t’Iehovà, fa mpiama’o iraho; ho fonga mongoreko o fifeheañe nandroahako azoo, f’ihe tsy ho mongoreko; ho liloveko an-jaka-to, fe tsy hapoko tsy ho liloveñe.
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.
