< Jeremias 30 >

1 CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON thus says the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed [them]? therefore has Melchol inherited Galaad, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?
Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha:
2 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbath a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Dubbii ani sitti dubbadhe hunda kitaabatti barreessi.
3 Howl, O Esebon, for Gai has perished; cry, you daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; for Melchol shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.
Barri tokko ni dhufa’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Innis yeroo ani itti saba koo Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa boojuudhaa deebisee biyya ani akka isaan dhaalaniif abbootii isaaniitiif kenne sanatti isaan galchuu dha,’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
4 Why do you exult in the plains of the Enakim, you haughty daughter, that trust in [your] treasures, that say, Who shall come in to me?
Dubbiin Waaqayyo waaʼee Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa dubbate kanaa dha:
5 Behold, I [will] bring terror upon you, says the Lord, from all the country round about you; and you shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you.
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Iyyi sodaa ni dhagaʼama; kun raafama malee nagaa miti.
6
Mee iyyaafadhaa ilaalaa: Dhiirri tokko daʼuu ni dandaʼaa? Yoos ani maaliifan dhiira hunda isaa akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu, harka isaa garaa ofii isaa irra kaaʼatee, fuulli isaas akka malee gurraachaʼe arga ree?
7
Guyyaan sun akkam sodaachisaa taʼa! Guyyaan akka guyyaa sanaa tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu. Guyyaan sun Yaaqoobiif yeroo rakkinaa taʼa; inni garuu rakkina sana keessaa ni baʼa.
8
“‘Guyyaa sana’ jedha Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, ‘Ani morma isaanii irraa waanjoo nan cabsa; hidhaa isaanii illee nan kukkuta; ergasii namoonni biyya ormaa isaan hin garboomfatan.
9
Qooda kanaa isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitii fi Daawit mootii isaanii isa ani isaaniif kaasu ni tajaajilu.
“‘Kanaafuu yaa tajaajilaa koo Yaaqoob, ati hin sodaatin; yaa Israaʼel hin rifatin’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Ani dhugumaan biyya fagootii sin baasa, sanyiiwwan kee immoo biyya isaan boojiʼamanii itti geeffamanii nan baasa. Yaaqoob ammas nagaa fi tasgabbii ni qabaata; namni isa sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
Ani si baasuuf si wajjinan jiraatii’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Ani sabootan gidduu isaaniitti si bittinneesse sana guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessu iyyuu siʼi garuu guutumaan guutuutti hin barbadeessu. Ani karaa sirrii taʼeen sin adaba; utuu si hin adabin akkasumatti si hin dhiisu.’
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Madaan kee hin fayyu; miidhamni kee waldhaansa hin qabu.
Namni siif falmu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; madaa keetiif qorichi hin jiru; ati hin fayyitu.
Michoonni kee hundi si dagataniiru; isaan dhimma kee hin qaban. Sababii yakki kee akka malee guddaa taʼee cubbuun kees baayʼateef ani akkuma diinaatti si dhaʼee akkuma nama garaa jabaatu tokkoottis si adabeera.
Ati maaliif madaa keetii fi dhukkuba kee kan hin fayyine sanaaf iyyita? Sababii yakki kee guddatee cubbuun kees baayʼateef, ani wantoota kanneen sitti fideera.
“‘Warri si nyaatan hundi garuu ni nyaatamu; diinonni kee hundis boojuudhaan ni fudhatamu. Warri qabeenya kee boojiʼan ni boojiʼamu; warri si saaman hundis ni saamamu.
Ani garuu fayyaa kee siifin deebisa; madaa kees siif nan fayyisa’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Ati Xiyoon gatamtuu kan namni tokko iyyuu dhimma ishee hin qabne jedhamteertaatii.’
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Ani hambaa dunkaana Yaaqoob kan boojiʼamee deebisee nan dhaaba; iddoo jireenya isaaniitiifis garaa nan laafa; magaalattiin idduma diigamte sanatti deebitee ni ijaaramti; masaraanis iddoo isaaf malu ni dhaabata.
Faarfannaan galataatii fi sagaleen gammachuu isaan keessaa ni dhagaʼama. Ani isaan nan baayʼisa; isaaniis hin xinnaatan; ani ulfina nan kennaaf; isaanis hin tuffataman.
Ijoolleen isaanii akka warra jabana durii taʼu; waldaan isaaniis jabaatee fuula koo dura ni dhaabata; ani warra isaan cunqursu hunda nan adaba.
Hoogganaan isaanii namuma isaanii taʼa; bulchaan isaanii isaanuma gidduudhaa kaʼa. Ani isa ofitti nan dhiʼeessa; innis natti dhiʼaata; yoo kanaa achii eenyutu natti dhiʼaachuuf ija jabaata?’ jedha Waaqayyo.
‘Akkasiin isin saba koo ni taatu; anis Waaqa keessan nan taʼa.’”
23 CONCERNING DAMASCUS. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest.
Kunoo, bubbeen Waaqayyoo, inni jabaan dheekkamsaan ni buʼa; bubbeen hamaanis mataa hamootaa irratti gad bubbisa.
24 Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her.
Aariin Waaqayyoo, sodaachisaan sun hamma inni kaayyoo yaada isaa guutumaan guutuutti fiixaan baasutti duubatti hin deebiʼu. Isin bara dhumaa keessa waan kana ni hubattu.
25 How has she not left my city, they have loved the village?
26 Therefore shall the young men fall in your streets, and all your warriors shall fall, says the Lord.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader.
28 CONCERNING KEDAR THE QUEEN OF THE PALACE, WHOM NABUCHODONOSOR KING OF BABYLON SMOTE, thus says the Lord; Arise you, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem.
29 They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon you destruction against them from every side.
30 Flee you, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, you that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you.
31 Rise up, and go up against a nation settled [and] dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, [who] dwell alone.
32 And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, says the Lord.
33 And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there.
