Jeremia 46
1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah Izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ ny jentilisa.
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2 Ny amin’ i Egypta. Ny amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Farao-neko, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, izay teny amoron’ ny ony Eofrata, tany Karkemisy, dia ilay resin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda:
Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
3 Mitaova amin’ ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe, ka mandrosoa hiady;
Prepare ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Fehezo amin’ ny kalesy ny soavaly, ary itaingeno ny soavaly fitaingina; Mijoroa tsara ianareo, ka samia misatroka fiarovan-doha; Fotsio ny lefona, miakanjoa ny akanjo fiarovan-tena.
Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
5 Indrisy ny ahitako azy! raiki-tahotra sy miamboho izy, ary ny maheriny aza dia efa ripaka, sady miezaka mandositra izy ka tsy miherika akory; Fa misy fampangorohoroana manodidina, hoy Jehovah.
Wherefore have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: terror is on every side, saith Jehovah.
6 Tsy ho afa-mandositra ny haingan-tongotra, na ho afaka ny mahery; Any avaratra eo amoron’ ny ony Eofrata no hahatafintohina sy hahalavo azy.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen.
7 Iza moa izato mizotra tahaka an’ i Neily, ary ny onjany misamboaravoara toy ny renirano
Who is this that riseth up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?
8 Egypta mizotra tahaka an’ i Neily, ary ny onjany misamboaravoara toy ny renirano, ary hoy izy: Hizotra aho ka hanafotra ny tany; Haringako ny tanàna sy ny mponina ao aminy.
Egypt riseth up like 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 cities and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Miakara, ianareo soavaly, ary miriota toy ny adala, ianareo kalesy; Ary aoka hivoaka ny lehilahy mahery, dia ny Etiopiana sy ny Libyana, izay mitana ampinga, ary ny Lydiana, izay mitana sy manenjana tsipìka.
Go up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, that handle the shield; and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow.
10 Fa izao andro izao dia an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ho andro famaliana hamaliany ny fahavalony; Ary ny sabatra hihinana ka ho voky sy ho mamon’ ny ran’ ireo; Fa ny Tompo, dia Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra any amin’ ny tany avaratra ao amoron’ ny ony Eofrata.
For that day is [a day] of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Miakara any Gileada, ka makà balsama, ry Egypta zanakavavy virijina; Foana ny nanaovanao fanafody maro, fa tsy manana plasitera hapetaka amin’ ny ferinao ianao,
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee.
12 Efa ren’ ny firenena ny henatrao, ary ny fiantsoantsoanao nanenika ny tany; fa mifandona ny samy mahery, ka miara-davo izy roa tonta.
The nations have heard of thy shame, and the earth is full of thy cry; for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.
13 Ny teny izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ ny hihavian’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, hamely ny tany Egypta.
The word that Jehovah spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
14 Ambaraonareo any Egypta, ary torio any Migdola, eny, torio any Memfisa sy Tapanesa, ka ataovy hoe: Mijoroa tsara ianao, ka miomàna; Fa mandringana manodidina anao ny sabatra.
Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand forth, and prepare thee; for the sword hath devoured round about thee.
15 Nahoana no voapaoka ny maherinao? Tsy nahafahatra izy, satria Jehovah no nandroaka azy.
Why are thy strong ones swept away? they stood not, because Jehovah did drive them.
16 Efa nahatafintohina ny maro Izy, ka lavo mifanindry ireo; Dia hoy ireo: Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hiverina ho any amin’ ny firenentsika sy ho any amin’ ny tany nahaterahantsika ho afaka amin’ ny sabatra mandoza,
He made many to stumble, yea, they fell one upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Nitaraina tany izy hoe: Tabataba foana Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, efa nandiso ny fotoana izy.
They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by.
18 Raha velona koa Aho, hoy ny Mpanjaka, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany: Tahaka an’ i Tabara amin’ ny tendrombohitra, sy tahaka an’ i Karmela ao amoron-dranomasina, dia ho tahaka izany no hihaviany.
As I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 Ry Egypta zanakavavy mponina, Mifeheza entana ho entinao any amin’ ny fahababoana; Fa ho tonga tany lao Memfisa, eny, hodorana izy, ka tsy hisy mponina.
O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
20 Egypta dia tahaka ny ombivavy kely tsara tarehy dia tsara tarehy; Fa injay! tamy, eny, tamy ny fihitra avy any avaratra!
Egypt is a very fair heifer; [but] destruction out of the north is come, it is come.
21 Na dia ny olona karamaina ao aminy aza, izay tahaka ny ombilahy kely mifahy, ireny koa dia mihodìna ka samy mandositra avokoa; Tsy mahajanona izy, fa efa tonga aminy ny andro hahitany loza, dia ny andro hamaliana azy.
Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
22 Ny feony dia toy ny fikasaotsaoky ny menarana mandeha; Fa mandeha hitondra miaramila izy ka avy hamely azy amin’ ny famaky toy ny mpikapa hazo.
The sound thereof shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Kapainy ny alany, hoy Jehovah, satria efa nikirindro loatra; Fa maro noho ny valala izy ka tsy tambo isaina.
They shall cut down her forest, saith Jehovah, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 Ho afa-baraka Egypta zanakavavy, Hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny olona any avaratra izy.
The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Ary hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Indro, hovaliako Amona avy any Nô Ary Farao sy Egypta mbamin’ ny andriamaniny sy ny mpanjakany, dia Farao sy izay rehetra matoky azy;
Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and them that trust in him:
26 Ary hatolotro eo an-tànan’ izay mitady ny ainy izy, dia eo an-tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy eo an-tànan’ ny mpanompony; Ary aorian’ izany, dia handry fahizay toy ny tamin’ ny andro fahiny ihany izy, hoy Jehovah.
and I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith Jehovah.
27 Fa aza matahotra ianao, ry Jakoba mpanompoko, ary aza mivadi-po, ry Isiraely; Fa, indro, hovonjeko avy any amin’ ny lavitra ianao, ary ny taranakao avy any amin’ ny tany nahababo azy; Dia hiverina Jakoba ka hiadana, eny, handry fahizay izy, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
But fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Aza matahotra ianao, ry Jakoba mpanompoko, hoy Jehovah, fa momba anao Aho; Fa na dia levoniko aza ny firenena rehetra izay nandroahako anao, ianao tsy mba holevoniko, nefa kosa mba hanariko araka ny antonony ihany ianao, fa tsy dia havelako fotsiny.
Fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, 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 in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.
