Ermiyaas 29
1 Dubbiin xalayaa kan Ermiyaas raajichi Yerusaalem irraa gara maanguddoota namoota boojiʼaman gidduutti hafaniittii fi lubootatti, raajotattii fi warra Nebukadnezar Yerusaalemii boojiʼee Baabilonitti geesse kaan hundatti erge sanaa kanaa dha.
THUS SAITH THE LORD AGAINST THE PHILISTINES;
2 Kunis erga Yehooyaakiin mootichii fi haati isaa mootittiin, xuʼaashiiwwan, dura buutota Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem, ogeeyyii hojii mukaatii fi tumtuuwwan Yerusaalemii boojiʼamanii deemanii booddee taʼe.
Behold, waters come up from the north, and shall become a sweeping torrent, and it shall sweep away the land, and its fulness; the city, and them that dwell in it: and men shall cry and all that dwell in the land shall howl,
3 Innis xalayaa sana harka Eleʼaasaa ilma Shaafaaniittii fi Gemaariyaa ilma Hilqiyaa warra Zedeqiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa gara Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti erge sanaatti kenne. Xalayaan sunis akkana jedha:
at the sound of his rushing, at [the sound of] his hoofs, and at the rattling of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels: the fathers turned not to their children because of the weakness of their hands,
4 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel warra boojuudhaan Yerusaalemii gara Baabilonitti geeffaman hundaan akkana jedha:
in the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines: and I will utterly destroy Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their allies: for the Lord will destroy the remaining [inhabitants] of the islands.
5 “Manneen ijaarradhaatii keessa jiraadhaa; biqiltuu dhaabbadhaatii ija isaa nyaadhaa.
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ascalon is cast away, and the remnant of the Enakim.
6 Niitii fuudhaatii ilmaanii fi intallan dhalchaa; akka isaanis ilmaanii fi intallan dhalchaniif ilmaan keessan niitii fuusisaa; intallan keessan illee heerumsiisaa. Isinis achitti baayʼadhaa malee hin xinnaatinaa.
How long will you strike, O sword of the Lord? how long will it be ere you are quiet? return into your sheath, rest, and be removed.
7 Magaalaa ani boojuudhaan itti isin ergeef illee nagaa fi badhaadhummaa hawwaa. Yoo isheen badhaate, isinis waan badhaataniif isheedhaaf Waaqayyoon kadhadhaa.”
How shall it be quiet, whereas the Lord has given it a commission against Ascalon, and against the regions on the sea-coast, to awake against the remaining [countries]! CONCERNING IDUMEA, thus says the Lord; There is no longer wisdom in Thaeman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,
8 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii: “Raajotaa fi ilaaltota isin gidduu jiraataniin hin gowwoomfaminaa. Abjuu akka isaan abjootaniif isaan kakaaftan sana hin dhaggeeffatinaa.
their place has been deceived. Dig deep for a dwelling, you that inhabit Daedam, for he has wrought grievously: I brought trouble upon him in the time at which I visited him.
9 Isaan maqaa kootiin soba isiniif raaju. Ani isaan hin ergine” jedha Waaqayyo.
For grape gatherers are come, who shall not leave you a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon [your possessions].
10 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yeroo Waggaan torbaatamni Baabiloniif kenname sun xumuramutti ani gara keessan dhufeen waadaa akka iddoo kanatti isin deebisuuf gale sana nan raawwadha.
For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished [each] by the hand of his brother, my neighbor, and it is impossible
11 Yaada ani isiniif qabu anatu beekaatii; innis yaada nagaati malee yaada hamaa miti; akkasumas yaada abdiitii fi kan galgala keessaniif toluu dha” jedha Waaqayyo.
for your fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in me.
12 “Isinis na waammattu; dhuftaniis na kadhattu; anis isin nan dhagaʼa.
For thus says the Lord; They who were not appointed to drink the cup have drunk [it]; and you shall by no means be cleared:
13 Isin yoo garaa keessan guutuudhaan na barbaaddan, na argattu.
for by myself I have sworn, says the Lord, that you shall be in the midst of her an impassable [land], and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever.
14 Anis akka isin na argattan nan godha; boojuudhaa deebisees isin nan fida” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani sabootaa fi lafa ani itti isin ariʼee ture hunda keessaa walitti isin qabee gara biyya ani keessaa baasee isin boojiʼamsiise sanaatti deebisee isinan fida” jedha Waaqayyo.
I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, [saying, ]Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise you up to war.
15 Sababii isin, “Waaqayyo Baabilon keessatti raajota nuu kaaseera” jettaniif
I have made you small among the nations, utterly contemptible among men.
16 Waaqayyo waaʼee mootii teessoo Daawit irra taaʼuutii fi waaʼee namoota magaalaa kana keessatti hafan hundaa, firoota keessan kanneen isin wajjin boojiʼamanii Baabilonitti hin geeffaminii akkana jedha;
Your insolence has risen up against you, the fierceness of your heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring you down.
17 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼicha isaanitti nan erga; akka isaan akkuma ija harbuu kan tortoree namni nyaachuu hin dandeenyee taʼanis isaan nan godha.
And Idumea shall be a desert: every one that passes by shall hiss at it.
18 Ani goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan isaan nan ariʼa; akka isaan saboota ani itti isaan ariʼe hunda gidduutti waan abaarsaatii fi waan sodaachisaa, waan tuffiitii fi waan fafaa taʼaniif ani fuula mootummoota lafaa hundaa duratti jibbisiisoo isaan nan godha.
As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha and they that sojourned in her, says the Lord Almighty, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man inhabit there.
19 Isaan dubbii koo, dubbii ani ammumaa amma karaa tajaajiltoota koo raajotaatiin isaanitti erge hin dhaggeeffanneetii” jedhan Waaqayyo. “Isin warri boojiʼamtanis akkasuma hin dhaggeeffanne” jedha Waaqayyo.
Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of Jordan to the place of Aetham: for I will speedily drive them from it, and do you set the young men against her: for who is like me? and who will withstand me? and who [is] this shepherd, who shall confront me?
20 Kanaafuu isin boojiʼamtoonni ani Yerusaalemii baasee gara Baabilonitti erge hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has framed against Idumea; and his device, which he has devised against the inhabitants of Thaeman: surely the least of the sheep shall be swept off; surely their dwelling shall be made desolate for them.
21 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee Ahaab ilma Qolaayaatii fi waaʼee Maʼaseyaa ilma Zedeqiyaa warra maqaa kootiin raajii sobaa isinitti dubbatan sanaa akkana jedha: “Ani dabarsee Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti isaan kenna; innis ijuma keessan duratti isaan fixa.
For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard.
22 Sababii isaaniitiifis boojiʼamtoonni Yihuudaa warri biyya Baabilon jiraatan, ‘Waaqayyo akka Zedeqiyaatii fi akka Ahaab warra Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon ibiddaan gube sanaa si haa godhu!’ jedhanii wal abaaru.
Behold, he shall look [upon her] as an eagle, and spread forth [his] wings over her strongholds; and the heart of the mighty men of Idumea shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Isaan waan akka malee hamaa taʼe Israaʼel keessatti hojjetaniiruutii; isaan niitota ollaa isaanii wajjin ejjaniiru; waan ani akka isaan hojjetan isaanitti hin himin hojjechuudhaan maqaa kootiin soba dubbataniiru; ani waan kana nan beeka; dhugaa illee nan baʼa” jedha Waaqayyo.
24 Shemaaʼiyaa namicha Nehelaamiin akkana jedhi:
25 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ati namoota Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundatti, Sefaaniyaa ilma Maʼaseyaa lubichaattii fi luboota biraa hundatti maqaa keetiin xalayaa ergiteerta. Sefaaniyaanis akkana jetteerta;
26 ‘Waaqayyo akka ati mana Waaqayyoo keessatti itti gaafatamaa taatuuf iddoo Yehooyaadaa luba godhee si muudeera; ati maraatuu raajii dubbatu kam iyyuu miilla isaa jirma gidduu, morma isaa immoo hudhaa sibiilaa keessa galchitee hidhuu qabda.
27 Yoos ati maaliif Ermiyaas namicha Anaatoot kan gidduu keessanitti raajii dubbatu sana ifachuu dhiifte ree?
28 Inni akkana jedhee dhaamsa kana gara keenya, gara Baabilonitti ergeera: Barri boojuu ni dheerata. Kanaafuu manneen ijaarradhaatii keessa jiraadhaa; biqiltuu illee dhaabadhaa ija isaa nyaadhaa.’”
29 Sefaaniyaa lubichis xalayaa sana Ermiyaas raajichaaf dubbise.
30 Kana irratti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
31 “Ergaa kana boojiʼamtoota hundatti ergi; ‘Waaqayyo waaʼee Shemaaʼiyaa namicha Nehelaam sanaa akkana jedha: Waan Shemaaʼiyaan yoo ani isa erguu baadhe iyyuu raajii isinii dubbatee akka isin soba amanattan godheef
32 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ani dhugumaan Shemaaʼiyaa namicha Nehelaam sanaa fi sanyii isaa nan adaba. Inni saba kana gidduutti hambaa tokko iyyuu hin qabaatu yookaan waan gaarii ani saba kootiif godhu hin argu; inni na mormuun fincila lallabeeraatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
