46 ¶ Men mesaj Seyè a bay pwofèt Jeremi sou lòt nasyon yo:

Mesaj sou peyi Lejip. Men sa li di sou lame farawon Neko, wa peyi Lejip ki te lavil Kakemich, bò larivyè Lefrat. Se lame sa a Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, te bat byen bat. Lè sa a, Jojakim, pitit Ozyas la, te gen katran depi li te wa nan peyi Jida.

Ofisye lame Lejip la ap bay lòd: -Pare plak pwotèj yo, gwo kou piti, pou pare kou! Annavan pou batay la!

Sele chwal yo. Kavalye, moute sou yo. Mete nou an ran, kas nou nan tèt nou. File pwent frenn nou yo. Mete rad an fè pou fè lagè nou sou nou.

Seyè a ap mande: -Kisa nou wè la a? Yo pè, y'ap kouri tounen, yo kraze vanyan sòlda yo anba kou! Y'ap kouri met deyò san gad dèyè. Toupatou tout moun pè.

Sa ki kouri yo p'ap sove, vanyan sòlda yo p'ap chape. Nan nò, bò larivyè Lefrat la, yo bite, yo tonbe.

Kilès sa a k'ap vini tankou dlo nan larivyè Nil k'ap desann, tankou yon rivyè k'ap anvayi toupatou?

Se peyi Lejip k'ap gonfle kò l' konsa, tankou dlo larivyè Nil, tankou yon rivyè k'ap anvayi toupatou. Lejip te di: M'ap gonfle, m'ap kouvri tout latè. M'ap kraze tout lavil yo ansanm ak tout moun ki rete ladan yo.

Bay chwal yo lòd pou yo ale. Bay cha lagè yo lòd pou yo woule. Voye sòlda yo al goumen: moun peyi Soudan ak moun peyi Liban yo ak plak pwotèj yo sou bra yo, ansanm ak moun peyi Lidi yo ki gen ladrès pou sèvi ak banza.

10 Paske, sa se jou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Se jou revanj li. Li pral tire revanj li sou lènmi l' yo. Nepe li pral touye yo jouk li pa kapab ankò. Li pral bwè san yo jouk vant li plen. Se jou y'ap touye bèt yo ofri pou Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, nan nò, bò larivyè Lefrat.

11 Nou menm moun peyi Lejip, moute nan peyi Galarad, al chache renmèd! Tout renmèd nou yo p'ap fè anyen pou nou. Pa gen geri pou nou.

12 ¶ Moun lòt nasyon yo pran nouvèl gwo wont ki rive nou an. Toupatou sou latè yo tande rèl nou. Vanyan sòlda yo ap bite yonn sou lòt, y'ap tonbe atè ansanm.

13 Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi lè Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, te vin atake peyi Lejip la:

14 -Fè piblikasyon nan tout peyi Lejip la. Fè tout moun lavil Migdòl, lavil Menmfis ak lavil Tapanès konnen. Di yo: Leve non, pare pou defann nou. Lagè fin detwi tou sa ki bò kote nou.

15 Poukisa Apis, towo bèf ki bondye nou an, kouri met deyò? Poukisa towo bèf nou an pa kenbe tèt? Se Seyè a ki lage l' atè!

16 Li fè sòlda yo bite, yo tonbe yonn sou lòt. Yonn ap di lòt: Leve non! Ann tounen lakay nou, nan peyi nou! Ann chape anba nepe lènmi yo!

17 Yo bay farawon an, wa Lejip la, yon lòt non. Yo rele l': Paladò. Li kite lè a pase!

18 Mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, se mwen ki wa. Men sa m' di: Se mwen ki Bondye vivan an. Moun k'ap vini pou atake nou an ap tankou mòn Tabò ki nan mitan lòt mòn yo, tankou mòn Kamèl ki kanpe byen wo nan lanmè a.

19 Nou menm moun peyi Lejip, mare pakèt nou pou yo depòte nou! Lavil Menmfis pral tounen yon dezè, yon bann miray kraze, san pesonn ladan l'.

20 Peyi Lejip te tankou yon bèl gazèl. Men, yon tanwouan soti nan nò vin atake l'.

21 Peyi Lejip te pran yon bann moun lòt nasyon sèvi sòlda nan lame li. Men, yo te gra tankou towo chatre ki nan manje. Yo menm tou yo pa kanpe goumen. Yo vire do yo, yo tout kouri met deyò, lè jou malè yo rive sou yo, lè jou chatiman yo a tonbe sou yo.

22 Peyi Lejip ap tankou koulèv k'ap kouri pou moun, l'ap kouri ale lè lame lènmi l' yo ap pwoche. Y'ap atake l' ak rach tankou moun k'ap koupe pyebwa.

23 Yo mete tout gwo rakbwa yo atè, rakbwa kote moun pa t' ka antre a. Lènmi yo anpil, ou pa ka konte yo. Sòlda yo pi plis pase yon lame krikèt. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

24 Moun Lejip yo wont, pèp ki soti nan nò a kraze yo.

25 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di ankò: -Mwen pral pini Amon, bondye lavil Tèb la. Mwen pral pini farawon an, pèp peyi Lejip la, ak tout chèf li yo ak tout bondye l' yo. Wi, mwen pral pini farawon an ansanm ak tout moun ki te mete konfyans yo nan li.

26 M'ap lage yo nan men moun ki soti pou touye yo a, nan men Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, ak lame moun pa l' yo. Men, apre sa, moun va rete nan peyi Lejip la tankou nan tan lontan. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

27 Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm pitit Jakòb, sèvitè mwen an. Nou pa bezwen tranble, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo. M'ap vin delivre nou nan peyi lwen sa yo. M'ap vin sove pitit nou yo nan peyi kote yo te depòte nou an. N'ap tounen lakay nou pou nou viv ak kè poze, san pesonn pa chache nou kont ankò.

28 Nou menm pitit Jakòb, sèvitè mwen an, nou pa bezwen pè. M'ap vin jwenn nou, m'ap sove nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap disparèt tout nasyon kote mwen te gaye nou yo. Nou menm, mwen p'ap detwi nou. Men, pou pini se pou m' pini nou, jan sa dwe fèt. Mwen p'ap kite anyen pou nou.

A Message About Egypt

46 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations:(A)

Concerning Egypt:(B)

This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Necho(C) king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish(D) on the Euphrates(E) River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(F) son of Josiah king of Judah:

“Prepare your shields,(G) both large and small,
    and march out for battle!
Harness the horses,
    mount the steeds!
Take your positions
    with helmets on!
Polish(H) your spears,
    put on your armor!(I)
What do I see?
    They are terrified,
they are retreating,
    their warriors are defeated.
They flee(J) in haste
    without looking back,
    and there is terror(K) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
“The swift cannot flee(L)
    nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates(M)
    they stumble and fall.(N)

“Who is this that rises like the Nile,
    like rivers of surging waters?(O)
Egypt rises like the Nile,(P)
    like rivers of surging waters.
She says, ‘I will rise and cover the earth;
    I will destroy cities and their people.’(Q)
Charge, you horses!
    Drive furiously, you charioteers!(R)
March on, you warriors—men of Cush[a](S) and Put who carry shields,
    men of Lydia(T) who draw the bow.
10 But that day(U) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance(V), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour(W) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.(X)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice(Y)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.(Z)

11 “Go up to Gilead and get balm,(AA)
    Virgin(AB) Daughter Egypt.
But you try many medicines in vain;
    there is no healing(AC) for you.
12 The nations will hear of your shame;
    your cries will fill the earth.
One warrior will stumble over another;
    both will fall(AD) down together.”

13 This is the message the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon(AE) to attack Egypt:(AF)

14 “Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol;
    proclaim it also in Memphis(AG) and Tahpanhes:(AH)
‘Take your positions and get ready,
    for the sword devours(AI) those around you.’
15 Why will your warriors be laid low?
    They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.(AJ)
16 They will stumble(AK) repeatedly;
    they will fall(AL) over each other.
They will say, ‘Get up, let us go back
    to our own people(AM) and our native lands,
    away from the sword of the oppressor.’(AN)
17 There they will exclaim,
    ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise;(AO)
    he has missed his opportunity.(AP)

18 “As surely as I live,” declares the King,(AQ)
    whose name is the Lord Almighty,
“one will come who is like Tabor(AR) among the mountains,
    like Carmel(AS) by the sea.
19 Pack your belongings for exile,(AT)
    you who live in Egypt,
for Memphis(AU) will be laid waste(AV)
    and lie in ruins without inhabitant.

20 “Egypt is a beautiful heifer,
    but a gadfly is coming
    against her from the north.(AW)
21 The mercenaries(AX) in her ranks
    are like fattened calves.(AY)
They too will turn and flee(AZ) together,
    they will not stand their ground,
for the day(BA) of disaster is coming upon them,
    the time(BB) for them to be punished.
22 Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent
    as the enemy advances in force;
they will come against her with axes,
    like men who cut down trees.(BC)
23 They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
    “dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,(BD)
    they cannot be counted.
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
    given into the hands of the people of the north.(BE)

25 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “I am about to bring punishment on Amon god of Thebes,(BF) on Pharaoh,(BG) on Egypt and her gods(BH) and her kings, and on those who rely(BI) on Pharaoh. 26 I will give them into the hands(BJ) of those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar king(BK) of Babylon and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be inhabited(BL) as in times past,” declares the Lord.

27 “Do not be afraid,(BM) Jacob(BN) my servant;(BO)
    do not be dismayed, Israel.
I will surely save you out of a distant place,
    your descendants from the land of their exile.(BP)
Jacob will again have peace and security,
    and no one will make him afraid.
28 Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
    for I am with you,”(BQ) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy(BR) all the nations
    among which I scatter you,
    I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only in due measure;
    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”
