< Jeremiah 20 >

1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Jehovah, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
Phaashihuur lubichi, ilmi Imeerii inni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti bulchaa hangafa ture sun yommuu Ermiyaasii waan kana raaju dhagaʼetti,
2 Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.
akka Ermiyaas raajichi tumamee Karra Beniyaam isa ol aanu kan mana Waaqayyoo biratti argamu sana keessatti miilli isaa jirma lama gidduu galee hidhamu godhe.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Jehovah has not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
Ermiyaasis guyyaa itti aanu yeroo Phaashihuur jirma lamaan gidduudhaa isa baasetti akkana jedheen; “Maqaan Waaqayyo siif baase Maagormiisaabiib malee Phaashihuur miti.
4 For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends. And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; ‘Ani akka ati ofii keetii fi michoota keetti sodaachisaa taatu sin godha; yeroo isaan goraadee diinota isaaniitiin dhuman ijuma keetiin argita. Ani Yihuudaa hunda dabarsee mootii Baabiloniitti nan kenna; innis Baabilonitti isaan geessa yookaan goraadeedhaan isaan fixa.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains of it, and all the precious things of it, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies. And they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
Ani qabeenya magaalaa kanaa hunda jechuunis oomisha ishee hunda, waan gatii guddaa qabu hundaa fi badhaadhummaa mootota Yihuudaa hunda dabarsee diinota isaaniitti nan kenna. Isaanis boojiʼanii fudhatanii Baabilonitti isaan geessan.
6 And thou, Pashhur, and all who dwell in thy house shall go into captivity. And thou shall come to Babylon, and there thou shall die, and there thou shall be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou have prophesied falsely.
Yaa Phaashihuur ati, warri mana kee jiraatan hundis boojiʼamtanii Baabilonitti geeffamtu. Atii fi michoota kee warri ati raajii sobaa dubbatteef hundi achitti duutanii awwaalamtu.’”
7 O Jehovah, thou have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. Thou are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing-stock all the day; everyone mocks me.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na gowwoomsite; anis nan gowwoomfame; ati humnaan na caaltee na moʼatte. Ani guyyaa guutuu waan kolfaa nan taʼe; namni hundis natti qoosa.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out. I cry, Violence and destruction! Because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
Ani yeroon dubbadhu hunda nan iyya; “Goolii, badiisa” jedhees nan labsa. Kanaafuu dubbiin Waaqayyo guyyaa guutuu arrabsoo fi tuffii natti fide.
9 And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot.
Garuu yoo ani, “Ani maqaa isaa hin dhaʼu yookaan siʼachi maqaa isaatiin hin dubbadhu” jedhe, dubbiin isaa onnee koo keessatti akka ibiddaa, akkuma ibidda lafee koo keessatti ukkaamsameera. Ani of keessatti isa qabachuu nan dadhabe; dhuguma iyyuu ani hin dandaʼu.
10 For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
Ani hasaasa, “Karaa hundaan sodaa! Isa balaaleffadhaa! Isa haa balaaleffannu!” jedhu hedduu nan dhagaʼa. Michoonni koo hundi, “Inni ni gowwoomfama taʼa; nus ergasii isa ni moʼanna; haaloo keenya illee ni baafanna” jechaa kufaatii koo eeggatu.
11 But Jehovah is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail. They shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
Waaqayyo garuu akkuma goota humna qabeessa tokkootti na wajjin jira; kanaafuu warri na adamsan ni gufatu malee hin moʼatan. Isaan baayʼee qaaneffaman; hin milkaaʼaniitii; salphinni isaanii gonkumaa hin irraanfatamu.
12 But, O Jehovah of hosts, who tries the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them, for to thee I have revealed my cause.
Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kan nama qajeelaa qortu, kan garaa fi yaada namaa keessa argitu, ani falmii koo sitti kennadheeraatii ati yeroo isaanitti haaloo baatu na argisiisi.
13 Sing to Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah, for he has delivered the soul of the needy man from the hand of evildoers.
Waaqayyoof faarfadhaa! Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa! Inni lubbuu namoota hiyyeeyyii harka hamootaatii ni baasa.
14 Cursed be the day in which I was born. Let not the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
Guyyaan ani dhaladhe haa abaaramu! Guyyaan haati koo na deesse sunis hin eebbifamin!
15 Cursed be the man who brought news to my father, saying, A man-child is born to thee, making him very glad.
Namichi, “Daaʼimni tokko jechuunis ilmi siif dhalatee jira!” jedhee abbaa kootiif oduu fidee akka malee isa gammachiise sun haa abaaramu!
16 And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and did not relent. And let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
Namichi sun akkuma magaalaawwan Waaqayyo gara laafina malee garagalchee haa taʼu. Inni ganamaan wawwaannaa, saafaan immoo iyya waraanaa haa dhagaʼu.
17 because he did not kill me from the womb, and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
Akka haati koo awwaala naa taatuuf, akka gadameessi ishees iddoo jireenya bara baraa naaf taʼuuf inni utuu ani gadameessa keessaa hin baʼin na hin ajjeefneetii.
18 Why did I come forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Ani maaliifan rakkinaa fi gadda arguuf jireenya koos qaaniin fixuuf gadameessa keessaa baʼe?
