1 T he word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh attacked 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 rise out of the north, And shall be an overflowing flood; They shall overflow the land and all that is in it, The city and those who dwell within; 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 hooves of his strong horses, At the rushing of his chariots, At the rumbling of his wheels, The fathers will not look back for their children, Lacking courage,

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 comes to plunder all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains; For the Lord shall plunder the Philistines, The remnant of the country 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 has come upon Gaza, Ashkelon is cut off With the remnant of their valley. How long will you cut yourself?

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

6 “ O you sword of the Lord, How long until you are quiet? Put yourself up 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, Seeing the Lord has given it a charge Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? There He has appointed it.”

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