Jeremiah 46

1 The wordes of the Lord, which came to Ieremiah the Prophet against the Gentiles,

Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ko e palōfita ki he kakai Senitaile.

2 As against Egypt, against ye armie of Pharaoh Necho King of Egypt, which was by the riuer Perath in Carchemish, which Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel smote in the fourth yere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah.

Ki ʻIsipite, pea ki he tau ʻa Felo Niko ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi ʻi Kakemisi, ʻaia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

3 Make readie buckler and shielde, and goe forth to battell.

“Mou fekau ke ʻai ʻae fakaū mo e pā, pea fakaofiofi mai ki he tau.

4 Make readie the horses, and let the horsemen get vp, and stande vp with your sallets, fourbish the speares, and put on the brigandines.

‌ʻAi ʻae nāunau ki he fanga hoosi, pea mou fakaheka ʻae kau heka hoosi, pea tuʻu mai mo homou tatā tau; fakangingila ʻae ngaahi tao, ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofutau.

5 Wherefore haue I seene them afraid, and driuen backe? for their mighty men are smitten, and are fled away, and looke not backe: for feare was rounde about, sayeth the Lord.

Ko e hā kuo u mamata ai kiate kinautolu, kuo nau manavahē, pea fakaholomui? Kuo tā hifo honau kau mālohi, kuo nau hola vave, pea ʻikai sio ki mui: he naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻae manavahē,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

6 The swift shall not flee away, nor the strong man escape: they shall stumble, and fall towarde the North by the riuer Perath.

“ʻOua naʻa tuku ke puna atu ʻae veʻe vave, pe hao ʻae tangata mālohi; te nau tūkia, pea tō ki he potu tokelau, ki he veʻe vai ʻo ʻIufaletesi.

7 Who is this, that commeth vp, as a flood, whose waters are mooued like the riuers?

Ko hai eni ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻo hangē ko e vai lahi, ʻoku ngaue hono ngaahi vai, ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe?

8 Egypt riseth vp like the flood, and his waters are mooued like the riuers, and he sayth, I wil goe vp, and will couer the earth: I wil destroy the citie with them that dwell therein.

‌ʻOku tuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsipite ʻo hangē ko e vai lahi, pea ʻoku ngaue hono ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe; pea ʻoku ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu hake, pea te u ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua; pea te u fakaʻauha ʻae kolo mo hono kakai.’

9 Come vp, ye horses, and rage ye charets, and let the valiant men come foorth, the blacke Mores, and the Lybians that beare the shield, and the Lydians that handle and bend the bowe.

Mou ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae fanga hoosi; pea fakamataliliʻi ʻae ngaahi saliote; pea tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻi he tau; ko e kau ʻItiopea mo e kau Lipea, ko kinautolu ʻoku puke ʻae fakaū; pea mo e kau Litia, ʻoku toʻo ʻo teke ʻae kaufana.

10 For this is the day of ye Lord God of hostes, and a day of vengeance, that he may auenge him of his enemies: for the sworde shall deuoure, and it shall be saciate, and made drunke with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the North countrey by the Riuer Perath.

He ko e ʻaho eni ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻaho ʻoe houhau koeʻuhi ke ne tautea ʻe ia ki hono ngaahi fili: pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he heletā, pea ʻe mākona ia, pea fakakona ʻaki ia honau toto: he ʻoku maʻu ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻae feilaulau ʻi he potu tokelau ʻi he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.

11 Goe vp vnto Gilead, and take balme, O virgine, the daughter of Egypt: in vaine shalt thou vse many medicines: for thou shalt haue no health.

‌ʻE taʻahine ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻalu hake ki Kiliati ʻo toʻo mai ʻae lolo faitoʻo: ʻe taʻeʻaonga ʻae ngaahi faitoʻo lahi kiate koe; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke moʻui.

12 The nations haue heard of thy shame, and thy crie hath filled the lande: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong and they are fallen both together.

Kuo fanongo ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ki hoʻo mā, pea kuo pito ʻae fonua ʻi he tangi: he kuo fepaki ʻae tangata mālohi mo e tangata mālohi, pea kuo na hinga fakatouʻosi.”

13 The woorde that the Lord spake to Ieremiah the Prophet, howe Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel shoulde come and smite the lande of Egypt.

Ko e lea naʻe folofola ʻaki ʻe Sihova kia Selemaia ko e palōfita, ki he haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke taaʻi ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite.

14 Publish in Egypt and declare in Migdol, and proclaime in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, and say, Stand still, and prepare thee: for the sworde shall deuoure rounde about thee.

“Mou fakahā ʻi ʻIsipite, pea fakaʻilo ʻi Mikitoli, pea fakahā ʻi Nofe mo Tapanesi: mou pehē, ‘Tuʻumaʻu, pea ke teuteu; koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻauha takatakai ʻiate koe ʻe he heletā.’

15 Why are thy valiant men put backe? they could not stand, because the Lord did driue them.

Ko e hā kuo tafe atu ai ʻa hoʻo kau mālohi? Naʻe ʻikai te nau tuʻu, koeʻuhi naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova.

16 Hee made many to fall, and one fell vpon another: and they saide, Arise, let vs goe againe to our owne people, and to the land of our natiuitie from the sworde of the violent.

Kuo ne fakahingaki ʻae tokolahi, ʻio, kuo nau fetaʻotaʻomi: ko ia naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, ‘Tuʻu pea ke tau toe ʻalu ki hotau kakai, pea ki he fonua naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai ʻakitautolu koeʻuhi ko e heletā ʻae mālohi.’

17 They did cry there, Pharaoh King of Egypt, and of a great multitude hath passed the time appointed.

Naʻa nau tangi ʻi ai, ‘Ko e longoaʻa pe ʻa Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite; kuo ʻosi ʻae kuonga naʻe tuʻutuʻuni.’

18 As I liue, saith the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, surely as Tabor is in the mountaines, and as Carmel is in the sea: so shall it come.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻAia ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ko e moʻoni ʻe hangē ko Tepoa ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea hangē ko Kameli ʻi heʻene ofi ki tahi, ʻe pehē ʻene haʻu.

19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, make thee geare to goe into captiuitie: for Noph shall be waste and desolate, without an inhabitant.

‌ʻE ʻofefine ʻoku nofo ʻi ʻIsipite, teuteu koe ke ke ʻalu ki he fakapōpula: koeʻuhi ʻe fakalala ʻa Nofe, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ke ʻosi hano kakai.

20 Egypt is like a faire calfe, but destruction commeth: out of the North it commeth.

“ʻOku tatau ʻa ʻIsipite mo e pulu fefine siʻi ʻoku fakaʻofoʻofa ʻaupito, ka ʻoku haʻu ʻae fakaʻauha; ʻoku haʻu ia mei he tokelau.

21 Also her hired men are in the middes of her like fat calues: they are also turned backe and fled away together: they could not stand, because the day of their destruction was come vpon them, and the time of their visitation.

Pea ʻoku tatau mo e fanga pulu kuo fangapesi ʻa hono kau tangata totongi; pea kuo nau foki ki mui, pea kuo nau hola fakataha: naʻe ʻikai te nau tuʻu mai, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko mai ʻae ʻaho ʻo hoʻonau tuʻutāmaki, pea mo e ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tautea.

22 The voyce thereof shall goe foorth like a serpent: for they shall march with an armie, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

‌ʻE ongo hono leʻo ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ʻae ngata; he te nau ʻalu atu kiate ia mo e kau tau, te nau haʻu kiate ia, mo e ngaahi toki, ʻo hangē ko e kau tā ʻakau.

23 They shall cut downe her forest, saith the Lord: for they cannot be counted, because they are moe then ye grashoppers, and are innumerable.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te nau tuʻusi hifo hono ngaahi vao ʻakau, neongo ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kumi ki ai; koeʻuhi ʻoku nau tokolahi ʻi he fanga heʻe, pea taʻefaʻalaua.

24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded: she shall be deliuered into the handes of the people of the North.

‌ʻE fakamaaʻi ʻae taʻahine ʻIsipite; ʻe tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe kakai mei he tokelau.”

25 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will visite the common people of No and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods and their Kings, euen Pharaoh, and al them that trust in him,

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; “Vakai, te u tautea ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻo No, mo Felo, mo ʻIsipite, mo honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻi; ʻio, ʻa Felo mo kinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia:

26 And I will deliuer them into the handes of those, that seeke their liues, and into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and into the handes of his seruants, and afterwarde she shall dwell as in the olde time, saith the Lord.

Pea te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ki heʻenau moʻui, pea ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, mo e nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Hili ia ʻe toki fakakakai ia, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa.

27 But feare not thou, O my seruant Iaakob, and be not thou afraid, O Israel: for behold, I will deliuer thee from a farre countrey, and thy seede from the land of their captiuitie, and Iaakob shall returne and be in rest, and prosperitie, and none shall make him afraid.

“Kaeʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, ʻE Sēkope ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu, ʻE ʻIsileli, “He vakai, te u fakamoʻui koe mei he mamaʻo, pea mo ho hako mei he fonua ʻoku nau pōpula ki ai; pea ʻe liliu mai ʻa Sēkope, pea te ne mālōlō, mo fiemālie, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha.”

28 Feare thou not, O Iaakob my seruant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee, and I will vtterly destroy all the nations, whither I haue driuen thee: but I will not vtterly destroy thee, but correct thee by iudgement, and not vtterly cut thee off.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, ʻE Sēkope ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki: he ʻoku ou ʻiate koe; he te u fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia kuo u kapusi koe ki ai: ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakangatangata koe, ka te u tautea siʻi koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ʻaupito koe.”
