Ermiyaas 48
1 Waaʼee Moʼaab: Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Neboof wayyoo; isheen ni diigamtiitii. Kiriyaataayimis ni salphatti; ni qabamti; daʼoowwan ishees ni qaaneffamu; ni diigamus.
Of Moab. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken: Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2 Moʼaab siʼachi hin jajamtu; namoonni Heshboon keessatti, ‘Kottaa saba sana ni balleessinaa’ jedhanii waaʼee kufaatii ishee mariʼatu. Yaa magaalaa Maadmeen jedhamtu atis ni calʼista; goraadeen si ariʼaatii.
The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her, Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 Iyya Hooronaayimii dhufu, iyya barbadaaʼuu fi badiisaa guddaa dhagaʼaa!
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction!
4 Moʼaab ni cabdi; ijoolleen ishees ni booʼu.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Isaan akka malee booʼaa, Luuhiitiitti ol baʼu; karaa gara Hooronaayimitti gad buusu irratti iyya badiisaa dhagaʼu.
For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for in the going down of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Baqadhaa! Lubbuu keessan baafadhaa; akka daggala gammoojjii keessaa taʼaa.
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7 Isin waan hojii keessanii fi qabeenya keessan amanattaniif, boojuudhaan fudhatamtanii ni deemtu; Kemooshis luboota isaatii fi qondaaltota isaa wajjin boojiʼamee ni fudhatama.
For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8 Balleessituun sun magaalaa hundatti ni dhufa; magaalaan tokko iyyuu isa jalaa hin baʼu. Sababii Waaqayyo dubbateef sululli ni bada; dirreenis ni barbadeeffama.
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD hath spoken.
9 Moʼaabitti soogidda firfirsi; isheen ni baddiitii; magaalaawwan ishees nama isaan keessa jiraatu dhabanii onu.
Give wings unto Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
10 “Namni garaa hirʼuudhaan hojii Waaqayyoo hojjetu abaaramaa haa taʼu! Namni goraadee isaatiin dhiiga dhangalaasuu didus abaaramaa haa taʼu!
Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11 “Moʼaab akkuma daadhii wayinii kan siicoo isaa irratti hafe kan okkotee tokko keessaa gara okkotee kaaniitti gara hin galfaminii ijoollummaa isheetii jalqabdee boqochaa turte; boojiʼamtees hin fudhatamne. Kanaafuu isheen akkuma durii miʼoofti; urgaan ishees hin geeddaramne.
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Garuu barri ani itti namoota okkotee keessaa dhangalaasan ergu tokko ni dhufa. Isaanis gad ishee naqu; okkotee ishee duwwaa hambisanii gaanii ishee cabsu” jedha Waaqayyo.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him them that pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
13 “Yoos akkuma manni Israaʼel yeroo Beetʼeelin amanatetti qaanaʼe sana Moʼaabis Kemooshitti ni qaanaʼa.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
14 “Isin akkamiin ‘Nu gootota; nu waraana keessatti jajjaboo dha’ jechuu dandeessu?
How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
15 Moʼaab ni barbadoofti; magaalaawwan ishees ni qabatamu; dargaggoonni ishee filatamoon gara qalmaatti geeffamu” jedha Mootichi maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu jedhamu sun.
Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into her cities; and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
16 “Kufaatiin Moʼaab gaʼeera; badiisni ishees dafee ni dhufa.
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 Warri naannoo ishee jiraatan hundi, warri maqaa ishee beektan hundi ‘Bokkuun jabaan sun akkamitti cabe! Uleen ulfina qabeessi sun akkamitti cabe!’ jedhaa booʼaafii.
All ye that are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye that know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
18 “Yaa jiraattuu Diiboon, ulfina kee irraa gad buʼiitii lafa goggogaa irra taaʼi! Barbadeessaan Moʼaab sun sitti dhufee magaalaawwan kee kanneen dallaa jabaan marfaman ni diigaatii.
O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strong holds.
19 Ati kan Aroʼeer keessa jiraattu, karaa cina dhaabadhuutii ilaali. Dhiira baqatuu fi dubartii miliqxu gaafadhu; ‘Maaltu dhalate?’ jedhii isaan gaafadhu.
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What hath been done?
20 Moʼaab waan diigamteef qaanofteerti. Wawwaadhuu booʼi! Arnoon biratti akka Moʼaab barbadooftee jirtu labsi.
Moab is put to shame; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21 Murtiin dirree ol kaʼaatti: Hooloonitti, Yaahizaa fi Meefiʼaatti,
And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;
22 Diiboonitti, Neboo fi Beet Diblaataayimitti,
and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;
23 Kiriyaataayimitti, Beet Gaamulii fi Beet Meʼoonitti,
and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
24 Keriiyoottii fi Bozraatti, magaalaawwan Moʼaab kanneen fagoo fi dhiʼoo jiran hundatti dhufeera.
and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Gaanfi Moʼaab irraa murameera; irreen ishees caccabeera” jedha Waaqayyo.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
26 “Waan isheen Waaqayyotti koorteef dhugaatiidhaan ishee macheessaa. Moʼaab diddiga ofii ishee irra haa gangalattu; waan qoosaas haa taatu.
Make ye him drunken; for he magnified himself against the LORD: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 Israaʼel si duratti waan qoosaa hin turree? Akka ati yeroo waaʼee ishee dubbattu hunda tuffiidhaan mataa kee isheetti raaftuuf isheen hattoota gidduutti qabamtee?
For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head.
28 Isin warri Moʼaab keessa jiraattan, magaalaawwan keessan keessaa baʼaatii kattaawwan keessa jiraadhaa. Akkuma gugee mana ishee afaan holqaatti ijaarrattuu taʼa.
O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.
29 “Nu waaʼee of tuulummaa Moʼaab jechuunis akka malee of guddisuu fi ofiin boonuu ishee, of tuuluu fi of jajuu ishee, of bokoksuu ishee dhageenyeerra.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 Ani addaggummaa Moʼaab beeka; garuu faayidaa hin qabaatu” jedha Waaqayyo; “Of tuuluun ishees homaa hin fayyaduuf”
I know his wrath, saith the LORD, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing.
31 Kanaafuu ani Moʼaabiif nan wawwaadha; Moʼaab hundaaf hiqqifadhee booʼa; ani namoota Qiir Hareeshetiif nan gadda.
Therefore will I howl for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall they mourn.
32 Yaa muka wayinii Sibimaa, ani akkuma Yaʼizeeriif booʼu sana siifin booʼa. Dameen kee hamma galaanaatti diriirtee fagaatte; isheen hamma galaana Yaʼizeeritti diriirtee deemti. Balleessituun sun ija kee bilchaataa fi hurbuu wayinii keetii irra buʼeera.
With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the spoiler is fallen.
33 Lafa biqiltuutii fi lafa qotiisaa midhaan Moʼaab keessaa ilillee fi gammachuun badeera. Ani iddoo itti wayinii cuunfan irraa wayinii kuteera; namni tokko iyyuu gammadaa sirbee isaan hin cuunfu. Wacni yoo jiraatee illee inni waca gammachuu miti.
And gladness and joy is taken away, from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
34 “Sababii bishaan Niimriim gogeef, sagaleen iyya isaanii ol kaʼee, Heshboonii hamma Eleʼaaleettii fi Yaahaziitti, Zoʼaarii hamma Hooronaayimittii fi hamma Eglaati Sheelishiyaatti ni dhagaʼama ture.
From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, even unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
35 Ani warra iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatti aarsaa dhiʼeessanii waaqota isaaniif ixaana aarsan Moʼaab keessaa nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 “Kanaafuu garaan koo akkuma ulullee faarsee Moʼaabiif booʼa; akkuma ulullee faarsee namoota Qiir Hareeshetiif booʼa. Qabeenyi isaan horatan duraa badeera.
Therefore mine heart soundeth for Moab like pipes, and mine heart soundeth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.
37 Mataan hundinuu haadamee hareedni hundinuu cirameera; harki hundinuu muramee mudhiin hundis wayyaa gaddaatiin hidhameera.
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 Waan ani akkuma okkotee namni tokko iyyuu hin feeneetti Moʼaabin caccabseef bantii mana Moʼaab hunda irraa fi oobdii sabaa keessa booʼicha malee wanni tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedha Waaqayyo.
On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.
39 “Isheen akkam akkas caccabde! Isaan akkam akkas wawwaatu! Moʼaab akkam akkas dugda ishee qaaniidhaan garagalfatte! Moʼaab waan kolfaa taatee, warra naannoo ishee jiraatan hundaaf waan sodaa taateerti.”
How is it broken down! [how] do they howl! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a dismaying to all that are round about him.
40 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ilaa! Risaan tokko Moʼaab irratti qoochoo balʼisee furguggifamaa gad buʼaa jira.
For thus saith the LORD: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
41 Keriiyooti ni qabamti; daʼannoon ishee jajjaboonis ni fudhatamu. Bara sana keessa garaan loltoota Moʼaab akkuma garaa dubartii ciniinsifachuutti jirtu tokkoo taʼa.
Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moʼaab sababii Waaqayyoon tuffatteef barbadooftee saba taʼuun ishee ni hafa.
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
43 Yaa saba Moʼaab sodaan, boollii fi kiyyoon si eeggata” jedha Waaqayyo.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
44 “Namni sodaa sana duraa baqatu kam iyyuu boolla keessa buʼa; namni boolla sana keessaa ol baʼu kam iyyuu kiyyoodhaan qabama; ani Moʼaabitti waggaa adabamuu ishee nan fidaatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
45 “Baqattoonni waan taʼan dhabanii gaaddisa Heshboon jala dhadhaabatu; Heshboon keessaa ibiddi tokko, Sihoon gidduudhaas arrabni ibiddaa ni kaʼaatii; inni adda Moʼaab guba, buqqee mataa of tuultotaas ni guba.
They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon: for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Yaa Moʼaab siif wayyoo! Uummanni Kemoosh barbadaaʼeera; Ilmaan kee boojiʼamanii fudhatamaniiru; intallan kees boojiʼamaniiru.
Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone: for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.
47 “Taʼu illee ani bara dhufuuf jiru keessa hambaa Moʼaab deebisee nan dhaaba” jedha Waaqayyo. Murtiin Moʼaabitti murame sun asitti dhuma.
Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
