¹That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,

¹Ny tenin'i Jehovah Izay tonga tamin'i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin'ny jentilisa.

²For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:

²[Faminaniana ny amin'i Egypta] 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:

³`Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.

³Mitaova amin'ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe, ka mandrosoa hiady;

⁴Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.

⁴Fehezo 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.

⁵Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.

⁵Indrisy 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.

⁶The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.

⁶Tsy ho afa-mandositra ny haingan-tongotra, na ho afaka ny mahery; Any avaratra eo amoron'ny ony Eofrata no hahatafintohina sy hahalavo azy.

⁷Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!

⁷Iza moa izato mizotra tahaka an'i Neily, ary ny onjany misamboaravoara toy ny renirano

⁸Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.

⁸Egypta 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.

⁹Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading the bow.

⁹Miakara, 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.[Heb. Pota][Heb. Loda]

¹⁰And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.

¹⁰Fa 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.

¹¹Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.

¹¹Miakara any Gileada, ka makà balsama, ry Egypta zanakavavy virijina; Foana ny nanaovanao fanafody maro, fa tsy manana plasitera hapetaka amin'ny ferinao ianao,

¹²Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!`

¹²Efa ren'ny firenena ny henatrao, ary ny fiantsoantsoanao nanenika ny tany; fa mifandona ny samy mahery, ka miara-davo izy roa tonta.

¹³The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:

¹³Ny teny izay nolazain'i Jehovah tamin'i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin'ny hihavian'i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, hamely ny tany Egypta.

¹⁴`Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,

¹⁴Ambaraonareo 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.

¹⁵Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.

¹⁵Nahoana no voapaoka ny maherinao? Tsy nahafahatra izy, satria Jehovah no nandroaka azy.

¹⁶He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.

¹⁶Efa 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,

¹⁷They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.

¹⁷Nitaraina tany izy hoe: Tabataba foana Farao, mpanjakan'i Egypta, efa nandiso ny fotoana izy.

¹⁸I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,

¹⁸Raha 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.

¹⁹Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.

¹⁹Ry Egypta zanakavavy mponina, Mifeheza entana ho entinao any amin'ny fahababoana; Fa ho tonga tany lao Memfisa, eny, hodorana izy, ka tsy hisy mponina.

²⁰A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.

²⁰Egypta dia tahaka ny ombivavy kely tsara tarehy dia tsara tarehy; Fa injay! tamy, eny, tamy ny fihitra avy any avaratra!

²¹Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.

²¹Na dia ny olona karamaina ao aminy aza, izay tahaka ny ombilahy kely mifahy, ireny koa dia mihodina ka samy mandositra avokoa; Tsy mahajanona izy, fa efa tonga aminy ny andro hahitany loza, dia ny andro hamaliana azy.

²²Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.

²²Ny feony dia toy ny fikasaotsaoky ny menarana mandeha; Fa mandeha hitondra miaramila izy ka avy hamely azy amin'ny famaky toy ny mpikapa hazo.

²³They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.

²³Kapainy ny alany, hoy Jehovah, satria efa nikirindro loatra; Fa maro noho ny valala izy ka tsy tambo isaina.

²⁴Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.

²⁴Ho afa-baraka Egypta zanakavavy, Hatolotra eo an-tànan'ny olona any avaratra izy.

²⁵Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,

²⁵Ary 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;

²⁶And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.

²⁶Ary 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.[Na: honenana indray]

²⁷And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.

²⁷Fa 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.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.

²⁸Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!`

²⁸Aza 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.
