Jeremiah 46
1 These are messages that Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah about [other] nations.
Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a profeta maipanggep kadagiti nasion.
2 After Jehoiakim, son of King Josiah, had been ruling Judah for almost four years, this message about Egypt was given [by Yahweh]. It was when the army of King Neco of Egypt was defeated by the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon along the Euphrates River. [This is what Yahweh said: “The officers of the army of Egypt are saying to their troops],
Maipapan iti Egipto: “Maipanggep daytoy iti armada ni Faraon Neco nga ari ti Egipto nga adda idiay Carkemis iti asideg ti Karayan Eufrates. Daytoy ti armada a pinarmek ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia iti maika-uppat a tawen a panagturay ni Jehoiakim a putot ni Josias, a kas ari ti Juda:
3 ‘Prepare your shields and march out to fight the battle!
Isaganayo dagiti babassit ken dagiti dadakkel a kalasag, ket mapankayo makigubat.
4 Put harnesses on your horses, and get on their backs. (Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; put on your helmets. Sharpen your spears, and put on your armor!’
Isaganayo dagiti kabalio ket agsakaykayo kadagitoy, dakayo a kumakabalio. Agpuestokayo, ken aghelmetkayo. Asaenyo dagiti gayang ken agkabalkayo.
5 But what [RHQ] do I see? I see that the soldiers of Egypt will be terrified and will be fleeing. [Even] the bravest of their soldiers will be running away, without [even] looking backward! [I, ] Yahweh, say that [their soldiers] will be terrified on all sides!
Ania ti makitak ditoy? Mabutbutengda unay ken agtatarayda, ta naparmeken dagiti soldadoda. Agtatarayda nga aglemmeng ket saanda a tumalliaw. Adda panagbuteng iti sadinoman—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—
6 [Even] the fastest [runners] will try to run away, but [even the greatest of] their warriors will not escape. In the north, by the Euphrates [River], they will stumble and fall.
saan a makaadayo dagiti napartak a tumaray, ket saan a makalibas dagiti soldado. Maitibkolda iti amianan ket matumbada iti igid ti Karayan Eufrates.
7 What group is this that will be covering the land like the water of the Nile [River] covers the land when it floods?
Siasino daytoy a dumakkel a kas iti Karayan Nilo, a dagiti danumna ket agallo-allon a kas kadagiti karayan?
8 [It is the army of] Egypt that will be covering the land like a surging/huge flood, and they will boast that they will cover the earth and will destroy cities and the people [who live in them].
Dumakkel ti Egipto a kas iti Karayan Nilo, ket agallo-allon dagiti danumna a kas iti karayan. Kuna daytoy, 'Dumakkelak; lapunusek ti daga. Dadaelek dagiti siudad ken dagiti agnanaed kadagitoy.
9 You [riders of] horses, charge/rush [into the battle]! You [drivers of] chariots, drive furiously! [All] you warriors from Ethiopia and Libya who carry your shields, you warriors from Lydia who shoot arrows, you come!
Sumang-atkayo, dakayo a kabalio. Agungetkayo, dakayo a karuahe. Paruarenyo dagiti soldado, Cus ken Put, lallaki a maingel ken addaan kadagiti kalasag, ken Ludim, lallaki a nalaing a pumapana.'
10 But, [you need to know that] this is the day when [I], Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, will get revenge on my enemies. With my sword [PRS] I will kill [my enemies] until I am satisfied; my sword will [be like a monster that] [MET, PRS] drinks the blood [of the animals it kills] until it is no longer thirsty. [The enemy soldiers who will be killed] in the north beside the Euphrates River [will be like] [MET] a sacrifice to [me], the Commander of the armies of angels.
Daytanto ti aldaw a panagibales ti Apo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, ket balsennanto dagiti kabusorna. Mangalun-onto ti kampilan ket mapnekto daytoy. Inumento daytoy dagiti darada. Ta addanto daton para iti Apo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin iti akin-amianan a daga iti igid ti Karayan Eufrates.
11 You people [IDM] of Egypt, go up to the Gilead [region] to obtain medicine; but it will be useless to take all those medicines; you will not be healed.
Sumang-atka idiay Galaad ket mangalaka iti agas, sika a birhen nga anak a babai ti Egipto. Awan serserbi ti panangikabilmo iti adu nga agas iti bagim. Awan ti makapaimbag kenka.
12 [People in] the [other] nations will hear how you were humiliated. [People] all over the earth will hear you wailing. [Your mighty] warriors will stumble over each other and they will all fall down together.”
Nangngeg dagiti nasion ti pannakaibabainmo. Napunno ti daga kadagiti panagdungdung-awmo, ta agdidinnungpar dagiti soldado; ket mapasagda a padapada.”
13 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message about King Nebuchadnezzar when he planned to attack Egypt [with his army]:
Kastoy ti sao nga imbaga ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias a profeta idi immay ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia ket rinautna ti daga ti Egipto:
14 “Shout [this message] throughout Egypt! Proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpenes [cities]! ‘(Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; Prepare to defend yourselves, because [everyone] around you will be killed.’ [PRS, MTY]
“Ipadamagmo iti Egipto ket ipangngegmo iti Migdol ken Memfis. Kinunada iti Tapanes, 'Agpuestokayo ken agsaganakayo, a mangikaluya kadagiti bagbagiyo, ta alun-unento ti kampilan dagiti amin nga adda iti aglawlawyo.
15 Your god is a bull; Why does he fall down? He will not be able to stand up, because Yahweh will knock him down.
Apay ngarud a timmaray ti didiosenyo a ni Apis? Apay a saan a makatakder ti didiosenyo a kalakian a baka. Tinulid isuna ni Yahweh.
16 The soldiers from other countries will stumble and fall over each other, and [then] they will say to each other, ‘Let’s get up and go back to our own people, to our own land. Let’s get away from the swords of our enemies!’
Naynayunanna ti bilang dagiti maitibtibkol. Matumtumba dagiti soldado ket uray da la agpipinnandag. Ibagbagada, “Tumakdertayo. Agawidtayon. Agsublitayo kadagiti tattaotayo, iti daga a nakaiyanakantayo. Panawantayon daytoy a kampilan a mangparparmek kadatayo.”
17 There [in Egypt] they will say, ‘The king of Egypt talks loudly, but when our [army] had an opportunity [to defeat our enemies], they failed.’
Imbagada sadiay, “Ni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto ket maysa laeng nga ariwawa, maysa a tao a nangitulok a mapukaw ti gundawayna.”
18 [I, ] the King, who am called the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘As [surely as] I live, someone’s army will be coming [to fight against the army of Egypt]. They will be [extremely powerful], [as though they were as tall] as Tabor Hill, or [as high] as Carmel [Mountain] close to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
“Siak a Dios nga adda iti agnanayon—kastoy ti pakaammo ti ari—ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganko, addanto umay a kas iti Bantay Tabor ken Bantay Carmel iti igid ti baybay.
19 [All] you people who live in Egypt, pack your possessions/clothes and prepare to be exiled. Memphis [city] will be destroyed; it will become a ruin, and no one will be living there.
Isaganayo dagiti gargaretyo para iti pannakaipanawyo a kas balud, dakayo nga annak a babbai nga agnanaed idiay Egipto. Ta ti Memfis ket agbalinto a makapabuteng ken langalang, isu nga awanto iti agnaed sadiay.
20 Egypt is [like] [SIM] a beautiful young cow, but [the army of a powerful king] from the northeast will come to attack it [like] a horsefly [MET] [bites a cow].
Ti Egipto ket maysa a napintas nga urbon a baka, ngem umayto ti insekto nga agkagat a naggapu iti amianan. Umayto daytoy.
21 The (mercenaries/soldiers [from other countries] who have been hired) will become like [SIM] fat calves; but they also will turn around and run away; they will not stand [there and fight], because it will be a day when there will be a [great] disaster in Egypt, a day when their people will be [greatly] punished.
Dagiti natangdanan a soldadona ket kasla napalukmeg a baka, ngem agsanudda ken agtarayda. Saanda a sangsangkamaysa a makiranget, ta umayto ti aldaw ti pannakadidigrada, ti tiempo ti pannakadusada.
22 [The soldiers of] Egypt will run away, as silently as a snake scurries/crawls away. [The army of] the enemy will advance; they will march along carrying their axes like [SIM] men who cut down trees.
Agkarasakas ti Egipto a kas iti uleg ken aguyas nga umadayo, ta um-umayen dagiti kabusorna. Agturongda kenkuana a kas kadagiti lallaki a pumupukan iti kayo a nagtagiwasay.
23 [I, ] Yahweh, say that they will kill the soldiers [of Egypt] as though [SIM] they were a forest of trees, because the enemy soldiers will be as numerous as [a swarm of] locusts.
Putdendanto dagiti kaykayo kadagiti kabakiran—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—uray no kabakbakiran daytoy. Ta ad-adunto dagiti kabusor ngem kadagiti dudon, a saan a mabilang.
24 The people of Egypt will be humiliated; they will be conquered by people from the northeast.’
Mapabainanto ti anak a babai ti Egipto. Maiyawatto isuna kadagiti tattao a naggapu iti amianan.”
25 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israelis [worship], say, ‘I will punish Amon, [the god whom the people] of Thebes [city] worship, and [all] the [other] gods in Egypt. [I will punish] the King of Egypt and [all] those who trust in him.
Kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakablin-amin a Dios ti Israel, “Dumngegkayo, dandanin ti panangdusak kenni Amon a didiosen ti Tebes, ni Faraon, iti Egipto ken kadagiti didiosenna, dagiti ari daytoy a Faraon, ken dagiti agtaltalek kadakuada.
26 I will cause them to be captured by those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, and his army officers. But many years later, people will live in Egypt again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’
Iyawatkonto ida kadagiti mangayat a mangkettel iti biagda, iti ima ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia ken kadagiti adipenna. Ket kalpasan daytoy, addanto manen agnaed iti Egipto a kas idi un-unana nga al-aldaw—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
27 But you people of Israel who serve me, do not be at all dismayed [DOU] now, because some day I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will again live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] to cause you to be terrified.
Ngem sika, Jacob nga adipenko, saanka nga agbuteng. Saanka a maupay, Israel, ta dumngegka, umadanin ti panangisublik kenka manipud iti adayo, ken dagiti kaputotam manipud iti daga a nakaipananda a kas balud. Ket agsublinto ni Jacob, makasarak iti kappia ken natalgedto, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mamagbuteng kenkuana.
28 [I, ] Yahweh, say to you people of Israel who serve me, ‘Do not be afraid, because I will be with you. I will completely destroy the nations among whom I have scattered you, but I will not completely get rid of you. I will punish you, but I will punish you only as severely as you deserve: It would be wrong if I did not punish you at all.’”
Sika Jacob nga adipenko, saanka nga agbuteng—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta addaak kenka, iyegkonto ngarud ti naan-anay a pannakadadael maibusor kadagiti amin a nasion a nangiwarawaraak kenka. Ngem saanka a dadaelen a naan-anay. Ngem sililinteg nga aturenka ken dusaenkanto a dusaen.”'''
