Jeremiah 46
1 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Jeremiah wòlíì wá nípa àwọn Orílẹ̀-èdè.
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2 Nípa Ejibiti. Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ nípa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Farao Neko ọba Ejibiti ẹni tí a borí rẹ̀ ní Karkemiṣi, ní odò Eufurate láti ọwọ́ Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ní ọdún kẹrin Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda:
Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah.
3 “Ẹ múra àpáta, èyí tí ó tóbi, àti èyí tí ó kéré, kí ẹ sì súnmọ́ ojú ìjà!
Make ready buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
4 Ẹ di ẹṣin ní gàárì, kí ẹ sì gùn ún. Ẹ dúró lẹ́sẹẹsẹ pẹ̀lú àṣíborí yín! Ẹ dán ọ̀kọ̀ yín, kí ẹ sì wọ ẹ̀wù irin.
Harness the horses, and mount ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets; polish the spears, put on the coats of mail!
5 Kí ni nǹkan tí mo tún rí? Wọ́n bẹ̀rù, wọ́n sì ń padà sẹ́yìn, wọ́n ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn jagunjagun. Wọ́n sá, wọn kò sì bojú wẹ̀yìn, ìbẹ̀rù sì wà níbi gbogbo,” ni Olúwa wí.
Why do I see them dismayed, turned away back? And their mighty ones are beaten down, and take to flight, and look not back? Terror [is] on every side, saith Jehovah.
6 “Ẹni tí ó yára kì yóò le sálọ, tàbí alágbára kò ní lè sá àsálà. Ní àríwá ní ibi odò Eufurate wọn yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn yóò sì ṣubú.
Let not the swift flee away, neither let the mighty man escape! — Toward the north, hard by the river Euphrates, they have stumbled and fallen.
7 “Ta ni èyí tí ó gòkè wá bí odò Ejibiti, tí omi rẹ̀ ń ru gẹ́gẹ́ bí odò wọ̀n-ọn-nì?
Who is this [that] riseth up as the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?
8 Ejibiti dìde bí odò náà, bí omi odò tí ń ru. Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò dìde, n ó sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.’ Èmi yóò pa ìlú àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ run.
It is Egypt that riseth up as the Nile, and [his] waters toss themselves like the rivers; and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Ẹ gòkè wá ẹ̀yin ẹṣin, ẹ sì sáré kíkankíkan ẹ̀yin kẹ̀kẹ́. Kí àwọn alágbára túbọ̀ tẹ̀síwájú, àwọn ará Kuṣi àti àwọn ará Puti tí ń di asà mú; àti àwọn ará Lidia tí ń fa ọrun.
Go up, ye horses, and drive furiously, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Phut that handle the shield, and the Ludim that handle the bow [and] bend it.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ náà jẹ́ ti Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ọjọ́ ìgbẹ̀san, ìgbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Idà yóò sì jẹ́ títí yóò fi ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn, títí yóò fi pa òǹgbẹ rẹ̀ rẹ́ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀. Nítorí pé Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò rú ẹbọ ní ilẹ̀ gúúsù ní odò Eufurate.
For this is the day of the Lord Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may be avenged of his adversaries; and the sword shall devour, and it shall be sated and made drunk with their blood; for the Lord Jehovah of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country, by the river Euphrates.
11 “Gòkè lọ sí Gileadi, kí o sì mú ìkunra, ìwọ wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Ejibiti. Ṣùgbọ́n ní asán ni ìwọ ń lo oògùn, kì yóò sí ìwòsàn fún ọ.
Go up to Gilead, and fetch balm, O virgin-daughter of Egypt! In vain shalt thou multiply remedies: there is no healing for thee.
12 Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò gbọ́ nípa ìtìjú rẹ, igbe rẹ yóò kún gbogbo ayé. Jagunjagun yóò máa ṣubú lu ara wọn lórí rẹ, àwọn méjèèjì yóò sì jọ ṣubú papọ̀.”
The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the earth; for the mighty man stumbleth against the mighty, they are both fallen together.
13 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó bá Jeremiah wòlíì nì sọ nípa wíwá Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli láti lọ dojú ìjà kọ Ejibiti:
The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt:
14 “Kéde èyí ní Ejibiti, sì sọ ọ́ ní Migdoli, sọ ọ́ ní Memfisi àti Tafanesi: ‘Dúró sí ààyè rẹ kí o sì múra sílẹ̀, nítorí pé idà náà ń pa àwọn tí ó yí ọ ká.’
Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in Tahpanhes; say, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword devoureth round about thee.
15 Èéṣe tí àwọn akọni rẹ fi ṣubú? Wọn kò ní le dìde dúró, nítorí Olúwa yóò tì wọ́n ṣubú.
Why are thy valiants swept away? They stood not, for Jehovah did thrust them down.
16 Wọn yóò máa ṣubú léraléra wọn yóò máa ṣubú lu ara wọn. Wọn yóò sọ wí pé, ‘Ẹ dìde, ẹ jẹ́ kí a padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn wa àti ilẹ̀ ìbí wa, kúrò níbi idà àwọn aninilára.’
He made many to stumble, yea, one fell upon another; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Níbẹ̀ ni wọn ó kígbe pé, ‘Ariwo lásán ni Farao ọba Ejibiti pa, ó ti sọ àǹfààní rẹ̀ nù.’
There did they cry, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the time appointed go by.
18 “Bí èmi ti wà láààyè,” ni ọba, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, “Nítòótọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Tabori láàrín àwọn òkè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bi Karmeli lẹ́bàá Òkun bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun yóò dé.
[As] I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely as Tabor among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 Ìwọ, ọmọbìnrin ti ń gbé Ejibiti pèsè ohun èlò ìrìnàjò fún ara rẹ nítorí Memfisi yóò di ahoro a ó sì fi jóná, láìní olùgbé.
Thou, inhabitress, daughter of Egypt, furnish for thyself a captive's baggage, for Noph shall be a desolation and shall be ruined, so that none shall dwell therein.
20 “Ẹgbọrọ abo màlúù tó lẹ́wà ní Ejibiti ṣùgbọ́n eṣinṣin ìparun dé, ó dé láti àríwá.
Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north.
21 Àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀ dàbí àbọ́pa akọ màlúù. Àwọn pẹ̀lú yóò yípadà, wọn ó sì jùmọ̀ sá, wọn kò ní le dúró, nítorí tí ọjọ́ ibi ń bọ̀ lórí wọn àsìkò láti jẹ wọ́n ní ìyà.
Also her hired men in the midst of her are like fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, they have fled away together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
22 Ejibiti yóò pòṣé bí ejò tí ń sá bí ọmọ-ogun ṣe ń tọ̀ ọ́ wá pẹ̀lú agbára. Wọn ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá pẹ̀lú àáké, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti agégi.
Her voice shall go like a serpent's; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Wọn o gé igbó rẹ̀ lulẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “nítorí ti a kò le rídìí rẹ̀. Nítorí pé wọ́n pọ̀ ju ẹlẹ́ǹgà lọ, wọ́n sì jẹ́ àìníye.
They shall cut down her forest, saith Jehovah, though it be impenetrable; for they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 A ó dójútì ọmọbìnrin Ejibiti, a ó fà á lé ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn àríwá.”
The daughter of Egypt is put to shame; she is delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé: “Èmi yóò rọ̀jò ìyà mi sórí Amoni òrìṣà Tebesi, sórí Farao, sórí Ejibiti àti àwọn òrìṣà rẹ̀ àti sórí àwọn ọba rẹ̀ àti sórí àwọn tó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Farao.
Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saith, Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, and her gods, and her kings; yea, Pharaoh and them that confide in him.
26 Èmi ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn tó wá ẹ̀mí wọn lọ́wọ́, lé Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli, ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, Ejibiti yóò sì di gbígbé bí i ti àtijọ́,” ni Olúwa wí.
And I will give them into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; but afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith Jehovah.
27 “Má bẹ̀rù, ìwọ Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, má fòyà, ìwọ Israẹli. Dájúdájú èmi ó gbà ọ́ láti ọ̀nà jíjìn, àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ ní ilẹ̀ ìgbèkùn. Jakọbu yóò tún ní àlàáfíà àti ààbò, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò dẹ́rùbà á.
But thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, neither be dismayed, Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
28 Má bẹ̀rù, Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, nítorí pé mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ,” bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí. “Bí mo tilẹ̀ pa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè run, láàrín àwọn tí mo fọ́n yín ká sí. Èmi kò ní run yín tán. Èmi yóò jẹ ọ́ ní ìyà lórí òdodo, èmi kí yóò jọ̀wọ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́ lọ láìjẹ ọ́ ní yà.”
Fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and I will not hold thee altogether guiltless.
