Jeremiah 46
1 The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan waaʼee sabootaatiif gara Ermiyaas raajichaa dhufe kanaa dha:
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
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:
3 “Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
“Gaachana keessan xinnaa fi guddaa qopheeffadhaatii lolaaf baʼaa!
4 Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
Fardeen feʼadhaa; isaan yaabbadhaas! Qoobii sibiilaa kaaʼadhaatii iddoo iddoo keessan qabadhaa. Eeboo keessan qaradhaa; qomee sibiilaa illee uffadhaa!
5 Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and do not look back. Terror is on every side,” says the LORD.
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.
6 “Do not let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
“Fiigaan baqachuu hin dandaʼu; yookaan namni jabaan jalaa hin baʼu. Isaan karaa kaabaatiin Laga Efraaxiis biratti guggufatanii kukkufu.
7 “Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
“Kan akka Abbayyaa, akka laga bishaan isaa cabsee yaaʼuu ol kaʼu kun eenyu?
8 Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
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.
9 Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
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.
10 For that day is of the Lord, GOD of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
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.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
“Yaa Gibxi durba qulqullittii, Giliʼaaditti ol baʼiitii qoricha fudhadhu. Ati akkasumaan qoricha hedduutti fayyadamta; garuu hin fayyitu.
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
Saboonni qaanii kee ni dhagaʼu; booʼichi kee lafa guuta. Goonni tokko goota kaanitti gufata; isaan lamaanuu wal qabatanii kufu.”
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
“Dubbiin Waaqayyo akka Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon dhufee Gibxi dhaʼu Ermiyaas raajichatti dubbate kanaa dha:
14 “Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
“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.’
15 Why are your strong ones swept away? They did not stand, because the LORD pushed them.
Gootonni kee maaliif kufanii diriiru? Sababii Waaqayyo gad isaan qabuuf isaan dhaabachuu hin dandaʼan.
16 He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
Isaan ammumaa amma gufatu; wal irrattis kukkufu. Isaanis, ‘Kaʼaa goraadee cunqursaa jalaa baanee gara saba keenyaattii fi biyya itti dhalannetti ni deebinaa’ waliin jedhu.
17 They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
Isaan achitti, ‘Faraʼoon mootichi Gibxi waca qofa; inni carraa ofii isaa dhabeera’ jedhanii iyyu.
18 “As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
“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.
19 You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burned up, without inhabitant.
Ati kan Gibxi keessa jiraattu, waan qabdu walitti qabadhuutii baqaaf qophaaʼi; Memfiis ontee diigamtee jiraattota malee haftiitii.
20 “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
“Gibxi goromsa bareedduu dha; garuu qarxaasaan biyya kaabaatii isheetti ni dhufa.
21 Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They did not stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
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.
22 Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
Gibxi yeroo diinni isheetti dhufutti akkuma bofa waa baqatuu siiqsiti; isaan akkuma namoota muka muraniitti qottoo qabatanii isheetti dhufu.
23 They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
Yoo inni hamma fedhe gobbate iyyuu, isaan bosona ishee ciranii balleessu” jedha Waaqayyo. “Isaan hawwaannisa caalaa baayʼatu; lakkaaʼamuus hin dandaʼan.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
Intalli Gibxi ni qaaneffamti; dabarfamtees namoota kaabaatti ni kennamti.”
25 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
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.
26 I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says the LORD.
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.
27 “But do not you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Do not be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
“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.
28 Do not be afraid, 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 I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
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.”
