Prophecies against the Nations
46 This is the word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah about the nations:(A)
Prophecies against Egypt
2 About Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Neco, Egypt’s king,(B) which was defeated at Carchemish(C) on the River Euphrates by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in the fourth year of Judah’s King Jehoiakim son of Josiah:(D)
3 Deploy small shields(E) and large;
approach for battle!
4 Harness the horses;
mount the steeds;[a]
take your positions with helmets on!
Polish the lances;
put on armour!(F)
5 Why have I seen this?
They are terrified,
they are retreating,
their warriors are crushed,
they flee headlong,
they never look back,
terror is on every side!(G)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
6 The swift cannot flee,
and the warrior cannot escape!(H)
In the north by the bank of the River Euphrates,
they stumble and fall.(I)
7 Who is this, rising like the Nile,(J)
with waters that churn like rivers?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile,(K)
and its waters churn like rivers.
He boasts, ‘I will go up, I will cover the earth;
I will destroy cities with their residents.’
9 Rise up, you cavalry!
Race furiously, you chariots!
Let the warriors march out –
Cush and Put,(L)
who are able to handle shields,
and the men of Lud,(M)
who are able to handle and string the bow.(N)
10 That day belongs to the Lord, the God of Armies,
a day of vengeance to avenge himself
against his adversaries.
The sword will devour and be satisfied;
it will drink its fill of their blood,
because it will be a sacrifice(O) to the Lord, the God of Armies,
in the northern land by the River Euphrates.(P)
11 Go up to Gilead and get balm,(Q)
Virgin Daughter Egypt!
You have multiplied remedies in vain;
there is no healing for you.
12 The nations have heard of your dishonour,(R)
and your cries fill the earth,
because warrior stumbles against warrior
and together both of them have fallen.
13 This is the word the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the coming of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to defeat the land of Egypt:(S)
14 Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol!(T)
Proclaim it in Memphis and in Tahpanhes!
Say, ‘Take positions! Prepare yourself,
for the sword devours all around you.’(U)
15 Why have your strong ones been swept away?
Each has not stood,
for the Lord has thrust him down.
16 He continues to stumble.(V)
Indeed, each falls over the other.
They say, ‘Get up! Let’s return to our people
and to our native land,
away from the oppressor’s sword.’(W)
17 There they will cry out,
‘Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise;
he let the opportune moment pass.’
18 As I live –
this is the King’s declaration;
the Lord of Armies is his name(X) –
the king of Babylon[b] will come like Tabor among the mountains
and like Carmel by the sea.
19 Get your bags ready for exile,
inhabitant of Daughter Egypt!(Y)
For Memphis will become a desolation,
uninhabited ruins.
20 Egypt is a beautiful young cow,(Z)
but a horsefly from the north is coming against her.[c](AA)
21 Even her mercenaries among her
are like stall-fed calves.
They too will turn back;
together they will flee;
they will not take their stand,
for the day of their calamity is coming on them,
the time of their punishment.(AB)
22 Egypt will hiss like a slithering snake,[d]
for the enemy will come with an army;
with axes they will come against her
like those who cut trees.(AC)
23 They will cut down her forest –
this is the Lord’s declaration –
though it is dense,
for they are more numerous than locusts;
they cannot be counted.(AD)
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
handed over to a northern people.(AE)
25 The Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I am about to punish Amon, god of Thebes,(AF) along with Pharaoh, Egypt, her gods, and her kings – Pharaoh and those trusting in him. 26 I will hand them over to those who intend to take their lives(AG) – to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his officers. But after this,(AH) Egypt[e] will be inhabited again as in ancient times.’
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Reassurance for Israel
27 But you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid,(AI)
and do not be discouraged, Israel,
for without fail I will save you from far away,
and your descendants from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.
28 And you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid –
this is the Lord’s declaration –
for I will be with you.(AJ)
I will bring destruction on all the nations
where I have banished you,
but I will not bring destruction on you.
I will discipline you with justice,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.(AK)

A derrota do Egito em Carquemis
46 O Senhor Deus me falou a respeito das nações. 2 Ele me falou sobre o exército de Neco, rei do Egito, que foi vencido em Carquemis, perto do rio Eufrates, pelo rei Nabucodonosor, da Babilônia. Isso aconteceu no quarto ano do reinado de Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, em Judá. A respeito do Egito Deus disse o seguinte:
3 “Os oficiais egípcios gritam:
‘Aprontem os seus escudos e marchem para a batalha!
4 Ponham arreios nos cavalos e montem!
Formem filas e ponham os capacetes!
Afiem as lanças e vistam as couraças!’
5 “Mas o que estou vendo?”
— pergunta Deus.
“Os egípcios estão fugindo de medo.
Eles correm apavorados e fogem tão depressa,
que nem olham para trás.
6 Aqueles que correm depressa não podem escapar;
os soldados não conseguem fugir.
No Norte, perto do rio Eufrates, eles tropeçam e caem.
7 Quem é este que vem subindo como o rio Nilo,
como um rio inundando as suas margens?
8 É o Egito, subindo como o Nilo,
como um rio alagando as suas margens.
O Egito disse: ‘Vou subir e cobrir o mundo;
vou destruir as cidades e os seus moradores.
9 Egípcios, mandem os cavalos saírem
e façam os carros de guerra correrem!
Mandem os soldados avançarem:
os homens da Etiópia e da Líbia,
que carregam escudos, e os homens de Lude,
que atiram flechas com os seus arcos.’ ”
10 Esse é o Dia do Senhor, o Deus Todo-Poderoso!
Hoje, ele se vingará;
hoje, ele castigará os seus inimigos.
A sua espada os devorará
até não querer mais
e beberá o sangue deles
até ficar satisfeita.
Hoje, o Senhor Todo-Poderoso oferecerá as suas vítimas em sacrifício
no Norte, perto do rio Eufrates.
11 Povo do Egito, vá a Gileade,
vá procurar remédios!
Todos os seus remédios não adiantam,
pois o seu mal não tem cura.
12 As nações ouviram falar da vergonha da sua derrota;
a terra inteira escutou os seus gritos.
Um soldado tropeçou no outro,
e os dois caíram no chão.
A vinda de Nabucodonosor
13 Quando o rei Nabucodonosor, da Babilônia, veio atacar o Egito, o Senhor Deus me disse o seguinte:
14 “Anunciem isto nas cidades do Egito,
em Migdol, Mênfis e Tafnes:
‘Preparem-se para se defender;
tudo o que vocês têm será destruído na guerra!
15 Por que foi que o seu deus poderoso caiu?
Foi porque o Senhor Deus o jogou no chão!’
16 Os soldados do Egito tropeçaram e caíram
e disseram uns aos outros:
‘Vamos depressa! Vamos voltar para casa,
para o nosso povo,
e assim escaparemos da espada do inimigo!’
17 Deem ao rei do Egito este novo nome —
‘Falador Espalhafatoso — o homem que perdeu a sua oportunidade.’
18 “Sou eu, o Rei, quem está falando.
Eu sou o Deus vivo.
O meu nome é Senhor, o Todo-Poderoso.
Como o Tabor é mais alto do que outros montes,
e o monte Carmelo fica acima do mar,
assim aquele que vai atacar
é mais forte do que vocês, egípcios.
19 “Povo do Egito,
apronte-se para ser levado como prisioneiro!
A cidade de Mênfis vai virar um deserto,
será arrasada e ficará sem moradores.
20 O Egito é como uma bela vaca,
mordida por um moscão que vem do Norte.
21 Até os seus soldados pagos para lutarem
são tão mansos como bezerros gordos.
Não ficaram firmes para lutar;
todos eles viraram as costas e fugiram
porque chegou o dia da sua desgraça,
chegou a hora da sua destruição.
22 O Egito foge, assobiando como uma cobra,
porque o exército inimigo está chegando.
Os inimigos atacam com machados,
como se fossem cortadores de lenha.
23 Eles derrubam a sua floresta,
onde é tão difícil entrar.
Os seus homens são tantos,
que não podem ser contados;
os soldados inimigos são mais numerosos do que gafanhotos.
24 O povo do Egito está humilhado
porque foi dominado pela nação do Norte.
Eu, o Senhor, estou falando.”
25 O Senhor Todo-Poderoso, o Deus de Israel, disse:
— Eu castigarei Amom, o deus de Tebas, e também o Egito, os seus deuses e os seus reis. Castigarei o rei do Egito e todos os que confiam nele. 26 Eu os entregarei aos que querem matá-los, isto é, ao rei Nabucodonosor, da Babilônia, e ao seu exército. Porém mais tarde o povo viverá outra vez na terra do Egito. Eu, o Senhor, estou falando.
Deus salvará o seu povo
27 “Descendentes do meu servo Jacó, não tenham medo!
Povo de Israel, não fique assustado!
Eu os livrarei dessa terra distante,
da terra onde vocês são prisioneiros.
Vocês voltarão e viverão em paz;
viverão em segurança,
e ninguém fará com que fiquem com medo.
28 Estarei com vocês para salvá-los.
Destruirei completamente todas as nações
por onde os espalhei,
mas vocês não serão completamente destruídos.
Vocês não ficarão sem castigo,
mas, quando eu os castigar,
não serei duro demais.
Eu, o Senhor, falei.”

Judgement on Egypt
46 The word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the nations.
2 Concerning Egypt, about the army of Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish and which King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah:
3 Prepare buckler and shield,
and advance for battle!
4 Harness the horses;
mount the steeds!
Take your stations with your helmets,
whet your lances,
put on your coats of mail!
5 Why do I see them terrified?
They have fallen back;
their warriors are beaten down,
and have fled in haste.
They do not look back—
terror is all around!
says the Lord.
6 The swift cannot flee away,
nor can the warrior escape;
in the north by the river Euphrates
they have stumbled and fallen.
7 Who is this, rising like the Nile,
like rivers whose waters surge?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile,
like rivers whose waters surge.
It said, Let me rise, let me cover the earth,
let me destroy cities and their inhabitants.
9 Advance, O horses,
and dash madly, O chariots!
Let the warriors go forth:
Ethiopia[a] and Put who carry the shield,
the Ludim, who draw[b] the bow.
10 That day is the day of the Lord God of hosts,
a day of retribution,
to gain vindication from his foes.
The sword shall devour and be sated,
and drink its fill of their blood.
For the Lord God of hosts holds a sacrifice
in the land of the north by the river Euphrates.
11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm,
O virgin daughter Egypt!
In vain you have used many medicines;
there is no healing for you.
12 The nations have heard of your shame,
and the earth is full of your cry;
for warrior has stumbled against warrior;
both have fallen together.
Babylonia Will Strike Egypt
13 The word that the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the coming of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon to attack the land of Egypt:
14 Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in Migdol;
proclaim in Memphis and Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stations and be ready,
for the sword shall devour those around you.’
15 Why has Apis fled?[c]
Why did your bull not stand?
—because the Lord thrust him down.
16 Your multitude stumbled[d] and fell,
and one said to another,[e]
‘Come, let us go back to our own people
and to the land of our birth,
because of the destroying sword.’
17 Give Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the name
‘Braggart who missed his chance.’
18 As I live, says the King,
whose name is the Lord of hosts,
one is coming
like Tabor among the mountains,
and like Carmel by the sea.
19 Pack your bags for exile,
sheltered daughter Egypt!
For Memphis shall become a waste,
a ruin, without inhabitant.
20 A beautiful heifer is Egypt—
a gadfly from the north lights upon her.
21 Even her mercenaries in her midst
are like fatted calves;
they too have turned and fled together,
they did not stand;
for the day of their calamity has come upon them,
the time of their punishment.
22 She makes a sound like a snake gliding away;
for her enemies march in force,
and come against her with axes,
like those who fell trees.
23 They shall cut down her forest,
says the Lord,
though it is impenetrable,
because they are more numerous
than locusts;
they are without number.
24 Daughter Egypt shall be put to shame;
she shall be handed over to a people from the north.
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: See, I am bringing punishment upon Amon of Thebes, and Pharaoh, and Egypt and her gods and her kings, upon Pharaoh and those who trust in him. 26 I will hand them over to those who seek their life, to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon and his officers. Afterwards Egypt shall be inhabited as in the days of old, says the Lord.
God Will Save Israel
27 But as for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob,
and do not be dismayed, O Israel;
for I am going to save you from far away,
and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
and no one shall make him afraid.
28 As for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob,
says the Lord,
for I am with you.
I will make an end of all the nations
among which I have banished you,
but I will not make an end of you!
I will chastise you in just measure,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

A Message About Egypt
46 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations:(A)
2 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:
3 “Prepare your shields,(G) both large and small,
and march out for battle!
4 Harness the horses,
mount the steeds!
Take your positions
with helmets on!
Polish(H) your spears,
put on your armor!(I)
5 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.
6 “The swift cannot flee(L)
nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates(M)
they stumble and fall.(N)
7 “Who is this that rises like the Nile,
like rivers of surging waters?(O)
8 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)
9 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.”
