¹Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo reer Falastiin ku saabsanaa oo Nebi Yeremyaah u yimid intaan Fircoon Gaasa wax ku dhufan ka hor.

¹That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smiteth Gaza:

²Rabbigu 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.

²`Thus said Jehovah: Lo, waters are coming up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fulness, The city, and the inhabitants in it, And men have cried out, And howled hath every inhabitant of the land.

³Gurdanka 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,

³From the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, the noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned unto sons, From feebleness of hands,

⁴waana 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.

⁴Because of the day that hath come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off to Tyre and to Zidon every helping remnant. For Jehovah is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

⁵Baroorashaa Gaasa heshay, Ashqeloonna waa lala baabbi'iyey kuwii dooxadooda ku hadhay; ilaa goormaad isgoogooynaysaa?

⁵Come hath baldness unto Gaza, Cut off hath been Ashkelon, O remnant of their valley, Till when dost thou cut thyself?

⁶Rabbiga seeftiisay, ilaa goormaad xasilloonaan la'aanaysaa? Galkaaga gal, naso, oo xasilloonow.Sidee baad u xasilli kartaa, iyadoo uu Rabbigu ku amray? Ashqeloon iyo badda xeebteedaba ayuu iyada ku amray.

⁶Ho, sword of Jehovah, till when art thou not quiet? Be removed unto thy sheath, rest and cease.

⁷Sidee baad u xasilli kartaa, iyadoo uu Rabbigu ku amray? Ashqeloon iyo badda xeebteedaba ayuu iyada ku amray.

⁷How shall it be quiet, And Jehovah hath given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? There hath He appointed it!`
