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?
About the children of Ammon. These are the words of the Lord: Has Israel no sons? has he no one to take the heritage? why then has Milcom taken Gad for himself, putting his people in its towns?
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.
Because of this, see, the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah, the town of the children of Ammon; it will become a waste of broken walls, and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire: then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage, 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.
Make sounds of grief, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted; give loud cries, O daughters of Rabbah, and put haircloth round you: give yourselves to weeping, running here and there and wounding yourselves; for Milcom will be taken prisoner together with his rulers and his priests.
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 are you lifted up in pride on account of your valleys, your flowing valley, O daughter ever turning away? who puts her faith in her wealth, saying, Who will 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.
See, I will send fear on you, says the Lord, the Lord of armies, from those who are round you on every side; you will be forced out, every man straight before him, and there will be no one to get together the wanderers.
6 “Taʼu illee ani ergasii hambaawwan Amoonotaa deebisee nan dhaaba” jedha Waaqayyo.
But after these things, I will let the fate of the children of Ammon be changed, says the Lord.
7 Waaʼee Edoom: Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Siʼachi Teemaan keessa ogummaan hin jiruu? Hubattoota duraa gorsi badeeraa? Ogummaan isaanii sameeraa?
About Edom. This is what the Lord of armies has said. Is there no more wisdom in Teman? have wise suggestions come to an end among men of good sense? has their wisdom completely gone?
8 Warri Deedaan keessa jiraattan garagalaa, baqadhaatii holqa gad fagoo keessa dhokadhaa; ani yeroo Esaawun adabutti badiisa isatti nan fidaatii.
Go in flight, go back, take cover in deep places, you who are living in Dedan; for I will send the fate of Edom on him, even the time of his punishment.
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 men came to get your grapes, would they not let some be uncut on the vines? if thieves came by night, would they not make waste till they had enough?
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.
I have had Esau searched out, uncovering his secret places, so that he may not keep himself covered: his seed is wasted and has come to an end, and there is no help from his neighbours.
11 ‘Daaʼimman kee kanneen warra hin qabne dhiisi; anatu isaan jiraachisaatii. Haadhonni hiyyeessaa kee na amanachuu dandaʼu.’”
Put in my care your children who have no father, and I will keep them safe; and let your widows put their faith 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 the Lord has said, Those for whom the cup was not made ready will certainly be forced to take of it; and are you to go without punishment? you will not be without punishment, but will certainly be forced to take from the cup.
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 I have taken an oath by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will become a cause of wonder, a name of shame, a waste and a curse; and all its towns will be waste places for ever.
14 Ani ergaa tokko Waaqayyo irraa dhagaʼeera: Ergamaan tokko akkana jechuuf gara sabootaatti ergame; “Ishee loluuf walitti qabamaa! Waraanaafis baʼaa!”
Word has come to me from the Lord, and a representative has been sent to the nations, to say, Come together and go up against her, and take your places for the fight.
15 “Ani amma saboota gidduutti sin xinneessa; namoota keessatti illee tuffatamaa sin godha.
For see, I have made you small among the nations, looked down on by 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 pride of your heart has been a false hope, O you who are living in the cracks of the rock, keeping your place on the top of the hill: even if you made your living-place as high as the eagle, I would make you come down, says the Lord.
17 “Edoom waan sodaa taati; namni achiin darbu hundis sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif dinqisiifatee isheetti kolfa.
And Edom will become a cause of wonder: everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.
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 at the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns, says the Lord, no man will be living in it, no son of man will have a resting-place 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?”
See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make him go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will be able to keep his place before 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.
For this cause give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Edom, and to his purposes designed against the people of Teman: Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.
21 Sagalee kufaatii isaaniitiin lafti ni raafamti; iyyi isaanii hamma Galaana Diimaatti ni dhagaʼama.
The earth is shaking with the noise of their fall; their cry is sounding in 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.
See, he will come up like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Bozrah: and the hearts of Edom's men of war on that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
23 Waaʼee Damaasqoo: “Hamaatii fi Arfaad ni raafamu; isaan oduu hamaa dhagaʼaniiruutii. Isaan abdii kutatanii akkuma galaana boqonnaa hin qabne tokkoo jeeqamaniiru.
About Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for the word of evil has come to their ears, their heart in its fear is turned to water, it will not be quiet.
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 is turned to flight, fear has taken her in its grip: pain and sorrows have come on her, as on a woman in birth-pains.
25 Magaalaan beekamaan, magaalaan ani itti gammadu sun akkam gatamti!
How has the town of praise been wasted, the place of joy!
26 Dhugumaan dargaggoonni ishee karaa irratti dhumu; loltoonni ishee hundinuu gaafas afaan qabatu” jedha Waaqayyo.
So her young men will be falling in her streets, and all the men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord of armies.
27 “Ani dallaawwan Damaasqootti ibidda nan qabsiisa; ibiddi sunis daʼannoo Ben-Hadaad gubee balleessa.”
And I will have a fire lighted on the wall of Damascus, burning up the great houses 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.
About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame. This is what the Lord has said: Up! go against Kedar, and make an attack on the children 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.
Their tents and their flocks they will take; they will take away for themselves their curtains and all their vessels and their camels: they will give a cry to them, Fear 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.
Go in flight, go wandering far off, take cover in deep places, O people of Hazor, says the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a design against you, he has a purpose against you in mind.
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.
Up! go against a nation which is living in comfort and without fear of danger, says the Lord, without doors or locks, living by themselves.
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.
And their camels will be taken from them by force, and their great herds will come into the hands of their attackers: those who have the ends of their hair cut I will send in flight to all the winds; and I will send their fate on them from every side, says the Lord.
33 “Haazoor iddoo jireenyaa waangoo, lafa bara baraan onte taati. Namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu; namni tokko iyyuu ishee keessa hin qubatu.”
And Hazor will be a hole for jackals, a waste for ever: no one will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.
34 Jalqaba bara mootummaa Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo waaʼee Eelaam akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas raajichaa dhufe:
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, saying,
35 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani madda jabina isaanii, iddaa Eelaam nan cabsa.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will have the bow of Elam, their chief strength, broken.
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.
And I will send on Elam four winds from the four quarters of heaven, driving them out to all those winds; there will be no nation into which the wanderers from Elam do not come.
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.
And I will let Elam be broken before their haters, and before those who are making designs against their lives: I will send evil on them, even my burning wrath, says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them till I have put an end to them:
38 “Ani teessoo koo Eelaam keessa dhaabbadhee mootii fi qondaaltota ishee nan barbadeessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
I will put the seat of my power in Elam, and in Elam I will put an end to kings and rulers, says the Lord.
39 “Taʼu illee ani bara dhufuuf jiru keessa hambaa Eelaam deebisee nan dhaaba” jedha Waaqayyo.
But it will come about that, in the last days, I will let the fate of Elam be changed, says the Lord.
