Ermiyaas 47
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan waaʼee Filisxeemotaa kan utuu Faraʼoon Gaazaa hin dhaʼin dura gara Ermiyaas raajichaa dhufe kanaa dha:
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took Gaza.
2 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kunoo, karaa kaabaatiin bishaan ol kaʼaa jira; bishaan kunis lolaa guutee irra dhangalaʼu taʼa. Innis biyyattii fi waan ishee keessa jiru, magaalaawwanii fi warra isaan keessa jiraatan hunda irra garagala. Uummanni ni booʼa; warri ishee keessa jiraatan hundis ni wawwaatu;
Thus saith the Lord: Behold there come up waters out of the north, and they shall be as an overflowing torrent, and they shall cover the land, and all that is therein, the city and the inhabitants thereof: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,
3 kunis sababii didicha kottee fardeen gulufanii, girrisa gaariiwwan diinaatii fi qaqawweessa goommaa isaaniitiif. Abbootiin ijoollee isaanii gargaaruuf duubatti gara hin galan; harki isaaniis isaan irratti laamshaʼa.
At the noise of the marching of arms, and of his soldiers, at the rushing of his chariots, and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back to the children, for feebleness of hands,
4 Filisxeemota hunda balleessuuf hambaa Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaa gargaaruuf hafan hundas balleessuuf guyyaan sun dhufeeraatii. Waaqayyo Filisxeemota, hambaa qarqara Kaftoor balleessuu gaʼeera.
Because of the coming of the day, in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.
5 Gaazaan gaddaan mataa ishee haaddatti; Ashqaloon ni calʼisti. Yaa hambaa dirree irraa isin hamma yoomiitti of ciccirtu?
Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou cut thyself?
6 “Isin, ‘Yaa goraadee Waaqayyoo ati hamma yoomiitti hin boqonne? Manʼee keetti deebiʼi; calʼisii taaʼi’ jettanii iyyitu.
O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 Garuu utuu Waaqayyo isa ajajuu, yeroo Waaqni akka inni Ashqaloonii fi qarqara galaanaa dhaʼuuf qajeelfama isaa kennutti inni akkamitti boqochuu dandaʼa?”
How shall it be quiet, when the Lord hath given it a charge against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof by the sea side, and there hath made an appointment for it?
