1 The dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah () which came to Yaramayah (Jeremiah) the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) concerning the gawayam (nations).
2 Of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt): concerning the chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor) of Paraihanakah (Pharaoh Necoh) malak (king) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), which was by the nahar (river) Parath (Euphrates) in Karakamayash (Carchemish), which Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) nakah (struck) in the rabayaiy (fourth) shanah (year) of Yahawayaqayam (Jehoiakim) the ban (son) of Yaashayah (Josiah), malak (king) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah).
3 “Irak (prepare) the magan (shield) and tzanah (shield), and nagash (draw) near to malachamah (battle)!
4 Asar (harness) the sawasayam (horses), and ilah (go up / offer) up, you horsemen, and yatzab (stand) forth with your kawabaiyam (helmets); maraq (furbish) the ramachayam (spears), labash (put) on the coats of mail.
5 Why raah (see) I seen it? They are chath (dismayed) and are sawag (turned) backward; and their gabawar (mighty) ones are kathath (beaten) down, and have nawas (fled) manawas (apace), and don't panah (turn) back: magawar (terror) is on sabayab (surrounding) side,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().
6 “Don't let the qal (swift) nawas (flee) away, nor the gabawar (mighty) man malat (escape); in the tzapawan (north) by the nahar (river) Parath (Euphrates) have they kashal (stumble / stagger) and napal (fall / be cast down).
7 “Who is this who ilah (go up / offer) up like the Yaar (Nile), whose mayam (Waters) gaish (toss) themselves like the naharawath (rivers)?
8 Matzarayam (Egypt) ilah (go up / offer) up like the Yaar (Nile), and his mayam (Waters) gaish (toss) themselves like the naharawath (rivers): and he amar (spoke), ‘I will ilah (go up / offer) up, I will kasah (cover) the aratz (Earth/land); I will abad (destroy / perish) iyar (cities) and its yashabay (inhabitants).’
9 Ilah (go up / offer) up, you sawasayam (horses); and halal (praise), you rakab (chariots); and let the gabawar (mighty) men yatzaa (go out / come out) forth: Kawash (Cush) and Pawat (Put), who thapash (handle) the magan (shield); and the Lawaday (Ludim), who thapash (handle) and darak (bend) the qashath (bow).
10 For that yawam (day) is of the Adanay (), Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), a yawam (day) of naqamah (vengeance), that he may naqam (avenge) him of his tzar (oppressor / distressor): and the charab (sword) shall akal (eat) and be shabai (satiate), and shall rawah (drink) its fill of their dam (blood); for the Adanay (), Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), has a zabach (sacrifice) in the tzapawan (north) aratz (Earth/land) by the nahar (river) Parath (Euphrates).
11 Ilah (go up / offer) up into Galaid (Gilead), and laqach (take / seize) tzaray (balm), bathawalah (virgin) banath (daughter) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt): in shawaa (vanity) do you use many rapaawath (medicines); there is no thailah (healing) for you.
12 The gawayam (heathen) have shamai (hearken / hear) of your qalawan (shame), and the aratz (Earth/land) is full of your tzawachah (cry); for the gabawar (mighty) gabawar (man) has kashal (stumble / stagger) against the gabawar (mighty), they are napal (fall / be cast down) shanayam (two) of them yachad (together).”
13 The dabar (word / matter) that Yahawah () dabar (word / matter) to Yaramayah (Jeremiah) the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy), how that Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) should bawaa (come) and nakah (strike) the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt).
14 “Nagad (declare) in Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), and shamai (hearken / hear) in Magadawal (Migdol), and shamai (hearken / hear) in Nap (Memphis) and in Thachapanachas (Tahpanhes): amar (said), ‘yatzab (stand) forth, and kawan (prepare); for the charab (sword) has akal (eat) around you.’
15 Why are your abayar (strong) ones sachap (swept) away? They didn't imad (stand), because Yahawah () pushed them.
16 He rabah (made) many to kashal (stumble / stagger), yes, they napal (fall / be cast down) ayash (man / husband) on rai (neigbor/another person): and they amar (said), ‘qawam (rise up), and shawab (turn) us go again to our own im (nation / people), and to the aratz (Earth/land) of our birth, from the yanah (oppressing) charab (sword).’
17 They qaraa (called) there, ‘Paraih (Pharaoh) malak (king) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) is but a shaawan (noise); he has let the mawaid (Feast/Holy Day) time ibar (pass over/through) by.’
18 “As I chay (life),” naam (declares prophetically) the malak (king), whose sham (name) is Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), “surely like Thabawar (Tabor) among the harayam (mountains), and like Karamal (Carmel) by the yam (sea/waters), so shall he bawaa (come).
19 You banath (daughter) who yashab (inhabit/dwell) in Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), ishah (make) yourself to go into captivity; for Nap (Memphis) shall become a shamah (desolation), and shall be burnt up, without yashab (inhabit/dwell).
20 “Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) is a very beautiful igalah (heifer); but qaratz (destruction) out of the tzapawan (north) bawaa (bring) come, it has come.
21 Also her shakayar (hired) men in the qarab (among / near) of her are like calves of the marabaq (stall); for they also are panah (turn) back, they are nawas (fled) away yachad (together), they didn't imad (stand): for the yawam (day) of their ayad (calamity) bawaa (bring) come on them, the ith (time) of their paqadah (visitation).
22 The qawal (sound / voice) of it shall yalak (go) like the nachash (serpent); for they shall yalak (march) with an chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor), and bawaa (bring) against her with axes, as itz (wood) cutters.
23 They shall karath (cut) down her yair (forest),” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah (), “though it can't be chaqar (searched); because they are more than the arabah (locusts), and are innumerable.
24 The banath (daughter) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) shall be disappointed; she shall be nathan (give) into the yad (hand) of the im (nation / people) of the tzapawan (north).”
25 Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), the Alahayam () of Yashar-Al (Israel), amar (spoke): “Behold, I will paqad (visit) Amawan (Amon) of No, and Paraih (Pharaoh), and Matzarayam (Egypt), with her Alahayam (), and her malak (king); even Paraih (Pharaoh), and those who batach (trust) in him:
26 And I will nathan (give) them into the yad (hand) of those who baqash (seek) their lives, and into the yad (hand) of Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) malak (king) of Babal (Babylon), and into the yad (hand) of his ibad (servant); and afterwards it shall be shakan (place), as in the yamay (days) of qadam (old),” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().
27 “But don't you be yaraa (fear / be afraid), Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) my ibad (servant), neither be chathath (dismayed), Yashar-Al (Israel): for, behold, I will yashai (salvation) you from rachawaq (afar), and your zarai (seed) from the aratz (Earth/land) of their shabay (captivity); and Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) shall shawab (turn), and shall be shaqat (quiet) and at shaan (ease), and none shall make him charad (afraid).
28 Don't you be yaraa (fear / be afraid), O Yaiqab (Jacob) my ibad (servant),” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah (); “for I am with you: for I will ishah (make) a kalah (complete / finish) end of all the gawayam (nations) where I have nadach (driven) you; but I will not ishah (make) a kalah (complete / finish) end of you, but I will yasar (correct) you in mashapat (measure), and will in no naqah (clean/innocent) leave you naqah (clean/innocent).”
