Yeremyaah 47
1 Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo reer Falastiin ku saabsanaa oo Nebi Yeremyaah u yimid intaan Fircoon Gaasa wax ku dhufan ka hor.
Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah a message about the people of Philistia. [The message was given to me] before Gaza [city in Philistia] was captured by [the army of] Egypt.
2 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, xagga woqooyi biyaa ka soo kici doona, oo waxay noqon doonaan webi aad u daadanaya, oo waxay qarqin doonaan dalka iyo waxa ku dhex jira oo dhan, iyo magaalada iyo waxa dhex degganba, oo markaas ayaa raggu qaylin doonaa, oo dadka dalka deggan oo dhammuna way wada ooyi doonaan.
This is what Yahweh said: “[An army] [MET] will be coming from the northeast that will cover the land like a flood. They will destroy the land and everything in it; [they will destroy] people and cities. People will scream; everyone in the land will wail.
3 Gurdanka qoobabka fardihiisa xoogga badan iyo yaacidda gaadhifardoodyadiisa, iyo xiinka giraangirihiisa aawadood ayaa aabbayaashu ayan dib u dhugan doonin carruurtooda, waayo, gacmahoodu cabsi bay la taag gabeen,
[They will hear] the sound of the hooves of the [enemy] horses, and [they will hear] the rumble/noise of the wheels [of their enemies’] chariots. Men [will run away; ] they will not stop to help their children; they will be completely weak and helpless [MTY].
4 waana maalinta u imanaysa inay reer Falastiin wada baabbi'iso, iyo inay kaalmeeye kasta oo hadhay Turos iyo Siidoon ka baabbi'iso, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu baabbi'in doonaa reer Falastiin iyo kuwa hadhay ee gasiiradda Kaftoor oo dhan.
It will be the time for all the people of Philistia to be destroyed, and the time to prevent the remaining soldiers from helping [the people of] Tyre and Sidon [cities]. [I, ] Yahweh, will get rid of the people of Philistia, those whose ancestors [long ago] came from Crete [island].
5 Baroorashaa Gaasa heshay, Ashqeloonna waa lala baabbi'iyey kuwii dooxadooda ku hadhay; ilaa goormaad isgoogooynaysaa?
[The people of] Gaza will be humiliated; they will shave off all the hair on their heads [to indicate that they are ashamed]. The [people of] [city] will all be silent [because they will be mourning]. [All you people who live] along the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea] who are still alive, how long [RHQ] will you gash yourselves [because you are mourning]?”
6 Rabbiga seeftiisay, ilaa goormaad xasilloonaan la'aanaysaa? Galkaaga gal, naso, oo xasilloonow.
[The people of Philistia say, ] “Yahweh, when [RHQ] will you [tell our enemies to stop killing us with] [PRS] their swords? Tell them to [PRS] put them back into their sheaths and keep them there!”
7 Sidee baad u xasilli kartaa, iyadoo uu Rabbigu ku amray? Ashqeloon iyo badda xeebteedaba ayuu iyada ku amray.
But it would not be right [RHQ] for their swords to stay there, because Yahweh has commanded their enemies [to do something more]; Yahweh intends to tell them to attack [all the people living in] Ashkelon and [in other cities] along the coast.
