Jeremiah 46
1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan waaʼee sabootaatiif gara Ermiyaas raajichaa dhufe kanaa dha:
2 for Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that has been by the Euphrates River, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 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 “Set shield and buckler in array, And draw near to battle.
“Gaachana keessan xinnaa fi guddaa qopheeffadhaatii lolaaf baʼaa!
4 Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, 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 them dismayed [and] turned backward? And their mighty ones are beaten down, And they have fled [to] a refuge, And did not turn their face, Fear [is] all around—a declaration of YHWH.
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 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the Euphrates River, 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? He comes up as a flood, His waters shake themselves as rivers!
“Kan akka Abbayyaa, akka laga bishaan isaa cabsee yaaʼuu ol kaʼu kun eenyu?
8 Egypt comes up as a flood, And the waters shake themselves as rivers. And he says, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
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; and boast yourselves, you chariots, And go forth, you mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling—treading 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 And that day [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword has devoured, and been satisfied, And it has been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
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 to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, You have multiplied 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 Nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land, For the mighty stumbled on the mighty, Together they have fallen—both of them!”
Saboonni qaanii kee ni dhagaʼu; booʼichi kee lafa guuta. Goonni tokko goota kaanitti gufata; isaan lamaanuu wal qabatanii kufu.”
13 The word that YHWH has spoken to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to strike the land of Egypt:
“Dubbiin Waaqayyo akka Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon dhufee Gibxi dhaʼu Ermiyaas raajichatti dubbate kanaa dha:
14 “Declare in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, And sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, say, Stand firm and prepare yourself, For a 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 has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because YHWH thrust him away.
Gootonni kee maaliif kufanii diriiru? Sababii Waaqayyo gad isaan qabuuf isaan dhaabachuu hin dandaʼan.
16 He has multiplied the stumbling, Indeed, one has fallen on his neighbor, And they say: Rise, and we return to our people, And to the land of our birth, Because of 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 have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, The appointed time has passed by.
Isaan achitti, ‘Faraʼoon mootichi Gibxi waca qofa; inni carraa ofii isaa dhabeera’ jedhanii iyyu.
18 [As] I live—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea—he comes in,
“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 Make goods for yourself for removal, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been 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, Destruction comes into her from the north.
“Gibxi goromsa bareedduu dha; garuu qarxaasaan biyya kaabaatii isheetti ni dhufa.
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity has come on them, The time of their inspection.
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 voice goes on as a serpent, For they go with a force, And they have come in to her with axes, As hewers of trees.
Gibxi yeroo diinni isheetti dhufutti akkuma bofa waa baqatuu siiqsiti; isaan akkuma namoota muka muraniitti qottoo qabatanii isheetti dhufu.
23 They have cut down her forest, A declaration of YHWH, For it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
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 has been ashamed, She has been given into the hand of the people of the north.
Intalli Gibxi ni qaaneffamti; dabarfamtees namoota kaabaatti ni kennamti.”
25 YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, has said: Behold, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting 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 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterward it is inhabited, As [in] days of old—a declaration of YHWH.
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 And you, you do not fear, My servant Jacob, Nor [are] you dismayed, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar—And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back, And has been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
“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 You do not fear, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, For I [am] with you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have driven you, And I do not make an end of you, And I have reproved you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you!”
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.”
