Jeremiah 46
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke mutunfacl pus,
The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2 mutawauk ke facl Egypt. Pa inge ma El fahk ke un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Neco lun Egypt, su Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el kutangla in acn Carchemish, apkuran nu Infacl Euphrates in yac se akakosr ma Jehoiakim el tokosra lun Judah:
Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
3 “Mwet fulat lun Egypt elos wowoyak ac fahk, ‘Akola mwe loeyuk nutuwos, Ac fahsryang nu ke mweun!
“Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
4 Tamla osra nutuwos! Nokomang nuknuk ac susu in mweun lowos! Akoela horse nutuwos, sroang nu faclos, Ac takla ke lain lowos an!’
Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
5 LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Ku mea nga liye uh? Elos tuninfongla ac forla folok. Mwet mweun lalos kutangyukla; Elos sangengla ac kaing ke kuiyalos, Ac elos tia tapulla.
Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and don’t look back. Terror is on every side,” says the LORD.
6 Finne mwet ma mui ke kasrusr, elos tia ku in kaingla; Mwet watwen in mweun tia pac ku in kaingla. In acn epang, sisken Infacl Euphrates, Elos tukulkul ac ikori.
“Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
7 Su sronoti oana Infacl Nile inge, Oana soko infacl sronoti ac nwakla pefacl uh?
“Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
8 Egypt pa sronoti oana Infacl Nile, Oana soko infacl sronoti ac nwakla pefahl uh. Egypt el fahk, ‘Nga fah sronoti ac afunla faclu; Nga fah kunausla siti puspis, wi mwet muta we.
Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
9 Sap horse uh in som, Ac chariot uh in kasrusr! Supwalik mwet mweun uh: Mukul ma tuku Ethiopia ac Libya me, su utuk mwe loeyuk, Ac mwet sasla ke pisr ma tuku Lydia me.”’
Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
10 Pa inge len lun LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana: Sie len in foloksak; Misenge El fah kalyei mwet lokoalok lal. Cutlass natul ac fah kangulosla nwe ke na kihpi, Ac nim srah kaclos nwe ke sun lungse lal. Misenge El su Kulana El oru sie kisa ke mwet ma El uniya In acn epang, sisken Infacl Euphrates.
For that day is of the Lord, GOD of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Mwet Egypt, kowos fahla nu Gilead Ac sukok ono! Kalem tari lah wangin sripen ono lowos; Wangin ma ku in unwekowosla.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
12 Mutunfacl pus lohng ke mwekinla lowos; Mwet nukewa elos lohng ke kom tung. Sie mwet mweun el tukulkul ac ikori fin sie pac, Na eltal kewa putatla infohk uh.
The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
13 Ke Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el tuku in mweuni facl Egypt, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik, ac fahk,
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
14 “Sulkakin in siti Egypt inge, In Migdol, Memphis ac Tahpanhes: ‘Akola in sifacna loangekowos; Ma lowos nukewa ac fah musalla ke mweun!
“Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
15 Efu ku Apis, god ku lowos, el ikori? Mweyen LEUM GOD El sringlilya!
Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because the LORD pushed them.
16 Mwet mweun lowos elos tukulkul ac ikori; Kais sie fahk nu sin mwet wial, ‘Sulaklak! Kut som nu yurin mwet lasr in acn sesr Ac kaingkunla cutlass nutin mwet lokoalok lasr inge!’
He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
17 “Sang ine sasu se inge lun tokosra lun Egypt, ‘Wowon Wel Ac Wangin Ma Oru.’
They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
18 Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, nga tokosra. Nga pa God moul. Oana ke Eol Tabor pa fulat inmasrlon eol uh, Ac Eol Carmel tuyak fulat sisken meoa uh, Ac fah ouinge ku lun el su ac fah mweuni kowos.
“As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor amongst the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
19 Kowos mwet Egypt, Apweni! Ac utukla kowos nu in sruoh! Siti Memphis ac fah ekla sie acn mwesis, Sie acn sikiyukla ma wangin mwet muta we.
You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burnt up, without inhabitant.
20 Egypt el oana soko cow mutan kato finsroa, Ma ngalisyuk sin sie loang ngalngul kutulap me.
“Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
21 Finne mwet ma el moli nu se in kasrel ke mweun Wanginna sripalos, oana cow fusr uh. Elos tia tuyak mweun, A elos nukewa forla kaing. Len in ongoiya nu selos summa; Pacl in kunausyukla elos.
Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
22 Egypt el kaing, musiksikla oana wet soko Ke un mwet lokoalok uh sikme. Elos mweunel ke tuhla, Oana mwet pakpuk sak
Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
23 Su kunausla insak matol. Mwet lalos arulana pusla, tia ku in oekyukla; Mwet mweun lalos pus liki u lulap ke locust.
They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 Akmwekinyeyukla mwet Egypt; Kutangyukla elos sin mwet epang. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
25 LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Nga ac kai Amon, god lun acn Thebes, wi Egypt ac god nukewa ac tokosra nukewa we. Nga ac eisal tokosra lun Egypt ac elos nukewa su filiya lulalfongi lalos in el,
The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
26 ac eisalosyang nu selos su kena onelosi — nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal. Tusruktu tok, mwet uh ac fah sifilpa muta Egypt, oana ke elos tuh oru in pacl somla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says the LORD.
27 “Mwet luk, nik kowos sangeng; Mwet Israel, nik kowos tuninfongla. Nga fah molikowos liki facl loessula ingan, Liki acn ma kowos mwet sruoh we. Kowos fah foloko nu yen suwos ac muta in misla; Kowos ac fah oakwuki in misla, ac wangin mwet fah oru kowos in sangen.
“But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Don’t be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
28 Nga fah tuku nu yuruwos ac molikowosla. Nga fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa Ma nga akfahsryekowoselik nu we, A nga fah tia kunauskowosla. Tusruktu nga fah tia lela kowos in som ke wangin kaiyuk nu suwos; Ke pacl se nga ac kai kowos, nga fah oru in fal. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says the LORD, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
