< Ermiyaas 49 >

1 Waaʼee Amoonotaa: Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Israaʼel ilmaan hin qabuu? Inni nama isa dhaalu hin qabuu? Yoos Moolek maaliif Gaadin dhalche ree? Namoonni isaa maaliif magaalaa ishee keessa jiraatu?
Concerning the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: “Has Israel no sons? Is he without heir? Why then has Milcom taken possession of Gad? Why have his people settled in their cities?
2 Garuu barri ani itti Rabbaa Amoonotaatti sagalee waca waraanaa dhageessisu tokko ni dhufa” jedha Waaqayyo. “Isheen tuullaa badiisaa ni taati; gandoonni naannoo ishee jiranis ibiddaan gubamu. Ergasii Israaʼel warra ishee ariʼee baase sana ariitee biyyaa ni baafti,” jedha Waaqayyo.
Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a heap of ruins, and its villages will be burned. Then Israel will drive out their dispossessors, says the LORD.
3 “Yaa Heshboon wawwaadhu, Aayi barbadoofteertii! Yaa jiraattota Rabbaa iyyaa! Wayyaa gaddaa uffadhaatii booʼaa; dallaa keessa asii fi achi fiigaa; Moolek lubootaa fi qondaaltota isaa wajjin boojiʼamee ni fudhatamaatii.
Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed; cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; run back and forth within your walls, for Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials.
4 Ati maaliif sulula keetiin boonta? Maaliif sulula kee gabbataa sanaan boonta? Yaa intala hin amanamne ati sooruma kee abdattee, ‘Eenyutu na tuqa?’ jetta.
Why do you boast of your valleys— your valleys so fruitful, O faithless daughter? You trust in your riches and say, ‘Who can come against me?’
5 Ani warra naannoo kee jiraatan hunda irraa sodaa sitti nan fida” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan ni ariʼamtu; namni baqattoota walitti qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
Behold, I am about to bring terror upon you, declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, from all those around you. You will each be driven headlong, with no one to regather the fugitives.
6 “Taʼu illee ani ergasii hambaawwan Amoonotaa deebisee nan dhaaba” jedha Waaqayyo.
Yet afterward I will restore the Ammonites from captivity,” declares the LORD.
7 Waaʼee Edoom: Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Siʼachi Teemaan keessa ogummaan hin jiruu? Hubattoota duraa gorsi badeeraa? Ogummaan isaanii sameeraa?
Concerning Edom, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?
8 Warri Deedaan keessa jiraattan garagalaa, baqadhaatii holqa gad fagoo keessa dhokadhaa; ani yeroo Esaawun adabutti badiisa isatti nan fidaatii.
Turn and run! Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him.
9 Warri gumaa wayinii guuran utuu gara kee dhufanii silaa qarmii wayii hin hambisanii? Hattuun yoo halkan dhufte, Isaan hammuma barbaadan qofa fudhatanii hin deemanii?
If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, would they not steal only what they wanted?
10 Ani garuu Esaawun qullaa nan hambisa; akka inni itti hin daʼanneef ani iddoo inni itti dhokatu ifatti nan baasa. Ijoolleen isaa, firoonni isaatii fi olloonni isaa ni badu; innis siʼachi hin jiraatu.
But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more.
11 ‘Daaʼimman kee kanneen warra hin qabne dhiisi; anatu isaan jiraachisaatii. Haadhonni hiyyeessaa kee na amanachuu dandaʼu.’”
Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.”
12 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yoo warri xoofoo dhuguun isaaniif hin malin ishee dhuguu qabaatan, ati maaliif utuu hin adabamin hafta ree? Ati ishee dhuguu qabda malee utuu hin adabamin hin haftu.
For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too.
13 Ani akka Bozraan diigamtee waan sodaa, waan fafaatii fi waan abaarsaa taatu maqaa kootiin nan kakadha” jedha Waaqayyo. “Magaalaawwan ishee hundis bara baraan ni diigamu.”
For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.”
14 Ani ergaa tokko Waaqayyo irraa dhagaʼeera: Ergamaan tokko akkana jechuuf gara sabootaatti ergame; “Ishee loluuf walitti qabamaa! Waraanaafis baʼaa!”
I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent to the nations: “Assemble yourselves to march against her! Rise up for battle!”
15 “Ani amma saboota gidduutti sin xinneessa; namoota keessatti illee tuffatamaa sin godha.
“For behold, I will make you small among nations, despised among men.
16 Ati kan hallayyaa kattaa irra jiraattee fiixee tulluu qabattee jirtu, sodaan ati odeessituu fi of tuulummaan garaa keetii si gowwoomseera. Yoo ati akkuma risaa ol fageessitee mana ijaarrattu iyyuu ani achii gad sin buusa” jedha Waaqayyo.
The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, O occupiers of the mountain summit. Though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down,”
17 “Edoom waan sodaa taati; namni achiin darbu hundis sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif dinqisiifatee isheetti kolfa.
“Edom will become an object of horror. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.
18 Isheen akkuma Sodoomii fi Gomoraan magaalaawwan naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin balleeffaman sana ni taati” jedha Waaqayyo, “namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu, sanyiin namaa tokkos ishee keessa hin qubatu.
As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
19 “Ani akkuma leenca bosona Yordaanosii baʼee gara lafa dheedaa gabbataa dhufu tokkoo dafee Edoomin biyya isheetii nan ariʼa. Filatamaan ani waan kanaaf muudu eenyu? Kan akka koo eenyu? Eenyutus naan morkuu dandaʼa? Tiksee akkamiitu fuula koo dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa?”
Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Edom from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”
20 Kanaafuu waan Waaqayyo Edoomitti karoorfate, waan inni warra Teemaan keessa jiraatanitti yaades dhagaʼaa. Ilmaan bushaayee harkifamanii ni fudhatamu; innis sababii isaaniitiif jedhee lafa dheeda isaanii ni barbadeessa.
Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Edom and the strategies He has devised against the people of Teman: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.
21 Sagalee kufaatii isaaniitiin lafti ni raafamti; iyyi isaanii hamma Galaana Diimaatti ni dhagaʼama.
At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; their cry will resound to the Red Sea.
22 Ilaa! Risaan tokkoo Bozraa irratti qoochoo balʼisee furguggifamaa gad buʼaa jira. Bara sana keessa garaan loltota Edoom akkuma garaa dubartii ciniinsifachuutti jirtu tokkoo taʼa.
Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s mighty men will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
23 Waaʼee Damaasqoo: “Hamaatii fi Arfaad ni raafamu; isaan oduu hamaa dhagaʼaniiruutii. Isaan abdii kutatanii akkuma galaana boqonnaa hin qabne tokkoo jeeqamaniiru.
Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report; they are agitated like the sea; their anxiety cannot be calmed.
24 Damaasqoon dadhabdeerti; isheen baqachuuf gara galteerti; sodaan guddaan ishee qabateera; akkuma miixuu dubartii ciniinsifattuu, rakkinaa fi miixuun isa qabeera.
Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor.
25 Magaalaan beekamaan, magaalaan ani itti gammadu sun akkam gatamti!
How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy?
26 Dhugumaan dargaggoonni ishee karaa irratti dhumu; loltoonni ishee hundinuu gaafas afaan qabatu” jedha Waaqayyo.
For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
27 “Ani dallaawwan Damaasqootti ibidda nan qabsiisa; ibiddi sunis daʼannoo Ben-Hadaad gubee balleessa.”
“I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”
28 Waaʼee Qeedaariitii fi waaʼee mootummoota Haazoor kanneen Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon lole sanaa: Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kaʼaa, Qeedaarin lolaatii saba gama Baʼa Biiftuu barbadeessaa.
Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!
29 Dunkaanonni isaaniitii fi bushaayeen isaanii ni fudhatamu; golgaawwan isaanii miʼaa fi gaalawwan isaanii wajjin fudhatamu. Namoonnis, ‘Gama hundaan sodaatu jira!’ jedhanii iyyu.
They will take their tents and flocks, their tent curtains and all their goods. They will take their camels for themselves. They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’
30 “Isin warri Haazoor keessa jiraattan dafaa baqadhaa! Holqa gad fagoo keessa dhokadhaa” jedha Waaqayyo. “Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon isinitti malateera; inni daba isinitti yaadeera.
Run! Escape quickly! Lie low, O residents of Hazor,” declares the LORD, “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has drawn up a plan against you; he has devised a strategy against you.
31 “Kaʼaatii saba nagaa qabu kan of amanatee jiraatu saba karra yookaan danqaraa karraa hin qabne sanatti duulaa; uummanni isaa kophuma ofii isaa jiraata” jedha Waaqayyo.
Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, one that dwells securely,” declares the LORD. “They have no gates or bars; they live alone.
32 “Gaalawwan isaanii ni hatamu, horiin isaanii baayʼeenis ni boojiʼama. Ani warra lafa fagoo jiran qilleensatti bittinneessee gama hundaan balaa isaanitti nan fida” jedha Waaqayyo.
Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoil. I will scatter to the wind in every direction those who shave their temples; I will bring calamity on them from all sides,”
33 “Haazoor iddoo jireenyaa waangoo, lafa bara baraan onte taati. Namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu; namni tokko iyyuu ishee keessa hin qubatu.”
“Hazor will become a haunt for jackals, a desolation forever. No one will dwell there; no man will abide there.”
34 Jalqaba bara mootummaa Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo waaʼee Eelaam akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas raajichaa dhufe:
This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
35 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani madda jabina isaanii, iddaa Eelaam nan cabsa.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.
36 Ani kutaalee samiiwwanii afran irraa bubbee afran Eelaamittan fida; ani bubbee afranitti isaan nan bittinneessa; sabni baqattoonni Eelaam itti hin galle tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu.
I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go.
37 Ani fuula diinota isaanii, fuula warra lubbuu isaanii galaafachuu barbaadanii duratti Eelaamin nan barbadeessa; ani balaa isaanittan fida; dheekkamsa koo sodaachisaa sanas isaanittan fida; ani hamma isaan fixutti goraadeedhaan isaan ariʼa” jedha Waaqayyo.
So I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring disaster upon them, even My fierce anger,” declares the LORD. “I will send out the sword after them until I finish them off.
38 “Ani teessoo koo Eelaam keessa dhaabbadhee mootii fi qondaaltota ishee nan barbadeessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,”
39 “Taʼu illee ani bara dhufuuf jiru keessa hambaa Eelaam deebisee nan dhaaba” jedha Waaqayyo.
“Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,”
