Jeremiah 46
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke mutunfacl pus,
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the Gentiles,
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:
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.
3 “Mwet fulat lun Egypt elos wowoyak ac fahk, ‘Akola mwe loeyuk nutuwos, Ac fahsryang nu ke mweun!
Prepare ye the shield and buckler, and go forth 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, ye horsemen: stand forth with helmets, furbish the spears, put on 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.
What then? I have seen them dismayed, and turning their backs, their valiant ones slain: they fled apace, and they looked not back: terror was round about, saith 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.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the strong think to escape: they are overthrown, and fallen down, towards the north by the river Euphrates.
7 Su sronoti oana Infacl Nile inge, Oana soko infacl sronoti ac nwakla pefacl uh?
Who is this that cometh up as a flood: and his streams swell like those of rivers?
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 riseth up like a flood, and the waves thereof shall be moved as rivers, and he shall say: I will go up and will cover the earth: I will destroy the city, 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.”’
Get ye up on horses, and glory in chariots, and let the valiant men come forth, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans that hold the shield, and the Lydians that take, and shoot arrows.
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 this is the day of the Lord the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may revenge himself of his enemies: the sword shall devour, and shall be filled, and shall be drunk with their blood: for there is a sacrifice of the Lord God of hosts 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 Galaad, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou multiply medicines, there shall be no cure for thee.
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 thy disgrace, and thy howling hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong, and both are fallen 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 Jeremias the prophet, how Nabuchodonosor 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 ye to Egypt, and publish it in Magdal, and let it be known in Memphis, and in Taphnis: say ye: Stand up, and prepare thyself: for the sword shall devour all round about thee.
15 Efu ku Apis, god ku lowos, el ikori? Mweyen LEUM GOD El sringlilya!
Why are thy valiant men come to nothing? they stood not: because the Lord hath overthrown 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 hath multiplied them that fall, and one hath fallen upon another, and they shall say: Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land our nativity, from the sword of the dove.
17 “Sang ine sasu se inge lun tokosra lun Egypt, ‘Wowon Wel Ac Wangin Ma Oru.’
Call ye the name of Pharao king Egypt, a tumult time hath brought.
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, (saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, ) as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he 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.
Furnish thyself to go into captivity, thou daughter inhabitant of Egypt: for Memphis shall be made desolate, and shall be forsaken and uninhabited.
20 Egypt el oana soko cow mutan kato finsroa, Ma ngalisyuk sin sie loang ngalngul kutulap me.
Egypt is like a fair and beautiful heifer: there shall come from the north one that shall goad her.
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.
Her hirelings also that lived in the midst of her, like fatted calves are turned back, and are fled away together, and they could not stand, for the day of their slaughter is come upon 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
Her voice shall sound like brass, for they shall hasten with an army, and with axes they shall come against her, as hewers of wood.
23 Su kunausla insak matol. Mwet lalos arulana pusla, tia ku in oekyukla; Mwet mweun lalos pus liki u lulap ke locust.
They have cut down her forest, saith the Lord, which cannot be counted: they are multiplied above locusts, and are without number.
24 Akmwekinyeyukla mwet Egypt; Kutangyukla elos sin mwet epang. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
The daughter of Egypt is confounded, and 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 hosts the God of Israel hath said: Behold I will visit upon the tumult of Alexandria, and upon Pharao, and upon Egypt, and upon her gods, and upon her kings, and upon Pharao, upon them that 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.
And I will deliver them into the hand of them that seek their lives, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith 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.
And thou my servant Jacob, fear not and be not thou dismayed, O Israel: for behold I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed out of the land of thy captivity: and Jacob shall return and be at rest, and prosper: and there shall be none to terrify him.
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.”
And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith the Lord: because I am with thee, for I will consume all the nations to which I have cast thee out: but thee I will not consume, but I will correct thee in judgment, neither will I spare thee as if thou wert innocent.
