Ermiyaas 46
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan waaʼee sabootaatiif gara Ermiyaas raajichaa dhufe kanaa dha:
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
2 Waaʼee Gibxi: Bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa, waggaa afuraffaatti ergaan kun gara waraana Faraʼoon Nekkoo mooticha Gibxi kan Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon laga Efraaxiis biratti Karkemiishitti moʼate sanaa dhufe:
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon stroke in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 “Gaachana keessan xinnaa fi guddaa qopheeffadhaatii lolaaf baʼaa!
Order all of you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Fardeen feʼadhaa; isaan yaabbadhaas! Qoobii sibiilaa kaaʼadhaatii iddoo iddoo keessan qabadhaa. Eeboo keessan qaradhaa; qomee sibiilaa illee uffadhaa!
Harness the horses; and get up, all of you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; polish the spears, and put on the protective armor.
5 Ani maal argaan jira? Isaan naʼanii jiru; dugda duubatti deebiʼaa jiru; gootonni isaanii moʼatamaniiru. Isaan utuu of duuba hin milʼatin ariitiin baqatu; qixa hundaanuu gooliitu jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled swiftly, and look not back: for fear was round about, says the LORD.
6 “Fiigaan baqachuu hin dandaʼu; yookaan namni jabaan jalaa hin baʼu. Isaan karaa kaabaatiin Laga Efraaxiis biratti guggufatanii kukkufu.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
7 “Kan akka Abbayyaa, akka laga bishaan isaa cabsee yaaʼuu ol kaʼu kun eenyu?
Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Gibxi akkuma Abbayyaa, akkuma laga bishaan isaa cabsee yaaʼuutti ol kaati. Isheenis, ‘Ani ol kaʼee lafa nan haguuga; magaalaawwanii fi saba isaanii nan balleessa’ jetti.
Egypt rises up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Yaa fardeen, isin garmaamaa! Yaa gaariiwwan, isinis guulaa! Yaa gootota Itoophiyaatii fi Fuuxi warri gaachana baattan, yaa namoota Luudi warri iddaa qabattan kaʼaatii fuula duratti qajeelaa.
Come up, all of you horses; and rage, all of you chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
10 Guyyaan sun garuu guyyaa Gooftaa, kan Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu, guyyaa haaloo baʼuu, kan inni itti diinota isaa haaloo baafatuu dha. Goraadeen hamma quufutti, hamma dheebuu dhiigaan baʼutti nyaata. Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu biyya kaabaa keessatti, Laga Efraaxiis biratti aarsaa dhiʼeessaatii.
For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 “Yaa Gibxi durba qulqullittii, Giliʼaaditti ol baʼiitii qoricha fudhadhu. Ati akkasumaan qoricha hedduutti fayyadamta; garuu hin fayyitu.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines; for you shall not be cured.
12 Saboonni qaanii kee ni dhagaʼu; booʼichi kee lafa guuta. Goonni tokko goota kaanitti gufata; isaan lamaanuu wal qabatanii kufu.”
The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13 “Dubbiin Waaqayyo akka Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon dhufee Gibxi dhaʼu Ermiyaas raajichatti dubbate kanaa dha:
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.
14 “Waan kana Gibxi keessatti dubbadhu; Migdoolittis labsi; Memfiisii fi Tahiphaanhees keessatti illee akkana jedhaa labsaa: ‘Goraadeen warra naannoo keessan jiru ni fixaatii isin iddoo iddoo keessan qabadhaatii qophaaʼaa.’
Declare all of you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say all of you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.
15 Gootonni kee maaliif kufanii diriiru? Sababii Waaqayyo gad isaan qabuuf isaan dhaabachuu hin dandaʼan.
Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16 Isaan ammumaa amma gufatu; wal irrattis kukkufu. Isaanis, ‘Kaʼaa goraadee cunqursaa jalaa baanee gara saba keenyaattii fi biyya itti dhalannetti ni deebinaa’ waliin jedhu.
He made many to fall, yea, one fell 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 Isaan achitti, ‘Faraʼoon mootichi Gibxi waca qofa; inni carraa ofii isaa dhabeera’ jedhanii iyyu.
They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has passed the time appointed.
18 “Dhugaa ana jiraataa” jedha mootichi inni maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu taʼe sun “kan gaarran keessaa Taaboor fakkaatu, inni galaana cinatti Qarmeloosin fakkaatu tokko ni dhufa.
As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he comes.
19 Ati kan Gibxi keessa jiraattu, waan qabdu walitti qabadhuutii baqaaf qophaaʼi; Memfiis ontee diigamtee jiraattota malee haftiitii.
O you daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 “Gibxi goromsa bareedduu dha; garuu qarxaasaan biyya kaabaatii isheetti ni dhufa.
Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north.
21 Loltoonni isheen kiraadhaan bitattee gidduu ishee jiranis akkuma jiboota cocoomanii ti. Sababii guyyaan badiisaa, yeroon itti isaan adabaman isaanitti dhufeef isaanis garagalanii walumaan ni baqatu; iddoo isaanii dhaabatanii of irraa deebisuu hin dandaʼan.
Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
22 Gibxi yeroo diinni isheetti dhufutti akkuma bofa waa baqatuu siiqsiti; isaan akkuma namoota muka muraniitti qottoo qabatanii isheetti dhufu.
The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Yoo inni hamma fedhe gobbate iyyuu, isaan bosona ishee ciranii balleessu” jedha Waaqayyo. “Isaan hawwaannisa caalaa baayʼatu; lakkaaʼamuus hin dandaʼan.
They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24 Intalli Gibxi ni qaaneffamti; dabarfamtees namoota kaabaatti ni kennamti.”
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani Aamoon Waaqa Tebesitti, Faraʼoonitti, Gibxittii fi Waaqa isheetti, mootota isheettii fi warra Faraʼoonin amanatanitti adabbii nan fida.
The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
26 Ani dabarsee warra lubbuu isaanii galaafachuu barbaadanitti, jechuunis Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonittii fi qondaaltota isaatti isaan kenna. Ergasii garuu Gibxi akkuma durii lafa namni keessa jiraatu ni taati” jedha Waaqayyo.
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 afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD.
27 “Yaa Yaaqoob tajaajilaa ko, ati hin sodaatin; yaa Israaʼel atis hin naʼin. Ani lafa fagootii sin baasa; sanyii kee immoo biyya isaan itti boojiʼamanii nan fida. Yaaqoob ammas nagaa fi tasgabbii ni qabaata; namni isa sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
But fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from far off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Yaa Yaaqoob garbicha ko, ati hin sodaatin; anis si wajjinan jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani yoo saboota gidduu isaaniitti si bittinneesse sana guutumaan guutuutti balleesse iyyuu ani guutumaan guutuutti si hin balleessu. Ani sin adaba; garuu qajeelummaa qofaan; akka ati utuu hin adabaminuu gad dhiifamtu hin godhu.”
Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.
