1 T he word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines before Pharaoh smote Gaza.

Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo reer Falastiin ku saabsanaa oo Nebi Yeremyaah u yimid intaan Fircoon Gaasa wax ku dhufan ka hor.

2 T hus says the Lord: Behold, waters are rising out of the north and shall become an overflowing stream and shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it. Then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

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.

3 A t the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of war-horses, at the rattling of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers do not look back to their children, so feeble are their hands

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,

4 B ecause of the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines and to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains. For the Lord is destroying the Philistines, the remnant of the isle or coastland of Caphtor.

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.

5 B aldness will come upon Gaza; Ashkelon will be cut off and be dumb. O remnant of their valley and of the giants, how long will you gash yourselves ?

Baroorashaa Gaasa heshay, Ashqeloonna waa lala baabbi'iyey kuwii dooxadooda ku hadhay; ilaa goormaad isgoogooynaysaa?

6 O you sword of the Lord, how long will it be before you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard; rest and be still.

Rabbiga seeftiisay, ilaa goormaad xasilloonaan la'aanaysaa? Galkaaga gal, naso, oo xasilloonow.

7 H ow can it be quiet when the Lord has given it an assignment to discharge? Against Ashkelon and against the seashore He has appointed it.

Sidee baad u xasilli kartaa, iyadoo uu Rabbigu ku amray? Ashqeloon iyo badda xeebteedaba ayuu iyada ku amray.
