< Jeremiah 34 >

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
Yeroo Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabiloniitii fi loltoonni isaa hundi, mootummoonnii fi saboonni biyya inni bulchu keessa jiraatan hundi Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan naannoo ishee hunda lolaa turanitti dubbiin akkana jedhu tokko Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
2 Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Gara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa dhaqiitii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani magaalaa kana dabarsee mootii Baabilonitti nan kenna; innis ishee guba.
3 And thou shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand. And thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shall go to Babylon.
Ati dhugumaan qabamtee dabarfamtee isatti kennamta malee harka isaa jalaa hin miliqxu. Mootii Baabilon ijuma keetiin ni argita; innis kallattiin si wajjin ni dubbata. Atis Baabilonitti ni geeffamta.
4 Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah. Thus says Jehovah concerning thee, Thou shall not die by the sword;
“‘Taʼus yaa Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa, ati dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi. Waaqayyo waaʼee kee akkana jedha: Ati goraadeen hin duutu;
5 thou shall die in peace. And with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee. And they shall lament thee, saying, Ah lord! For I have spoken the word, says Jehovah.
garuu nagumaan duuta. Namoonni akkuma ulfina awwaala abbootii keetii mootota siin duraatiif ibidda qabsiisan sana ulfina keetiif ibidda qabsiisanii, “Wayyoo yaa Gooftaa!” jedhanii booʼu. Ani mataan koo dubbii kana dubbadheeraatii, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah, king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Ermiyaas raajichi Yerusaalem keessatti waan kana hunda Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatti hime;
7 when the king of Babylon's army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah, for these alone remained of the cities of Judah, fortified cities.
yeroo sanatti loltoonni mootii Baabilon Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa jechuunis Laakkiishii fi Azeeqaa lolaa turan. Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban keessaa kanneen hafan isaanuma kana qofa turaniitii.
8 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,
Erga Zedeqiyaa mootichi bilisummaa garbootaa labsuuf jedhee uummata Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu hunda wajjin kakuu galee booddee dubbiin tokko Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe.
9 that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that none should make bondmen of them, namely, of a Jew his brother.
Tokkoon tokkoo namaa garba isaa dhiiraa dubartii sanyii Ibrootaa taʼan bilisa baasuu qaba ture; namni kam iyyuu Yihuudii sanyii isaa taʼe tokko garbummaa keessatti hambisuu hin qabu.
10 And all the rulers and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his man-servant, and everyone his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondmen of them any more. They obeyed, and let them go.
Kanaafuu qondaaltonnii fi namoonni kakuu sana seenan hundi garboota isaanii dhiirotaa dubartii bilisa baasuu fi akka siʼachis isaan hin garboomfanne walii galan. Isaanis tole jedhanii jara bilisa baasan.
11 But afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Ergasii garuu yaada isaanii geeddaratanii garboota bilisa baasanii turan sana deebifatanii amma illee garboomfatan.
12 Therefore the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
13 Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani yeroon Gibxii biyya garbummaatii isaan baasetti abbootii keessan wajjin akkana jedhee kakuu gale;
14 At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to thee, and has served thee six years. Thou shall let him go free from thee. But your fathers hearkened not to me, nor inclined their ear.
‘Tokkoon tokkoon keessan waggaa torba torbatti nama sanyii Ibrootaa kan isinitti of gurgure kam iyyuu bilisa baasuu qabdu. Erga inni waggaa jaʼa isin tajaajilee booddee isin gad isa dhiisuu qabdu.’ Abbootiin keessan garuu na hin dhageenye; gurras naa hin kennine.
15 And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor. And ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name.
Isin immoo dhiʼoo kana qalbii jijjiirrattanii waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe gootaniirtu: Tokkoon tokkoon keessanis lammiiwwan keessaniif bilisummaa labsitaniirtu. Mana Maqaa kootiin waamamu keessatti fuula koo duratti kakuu galtaniirtu.
16 But ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return. And ye brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
Amma garuu garagaltanii maqaa koo xureessitan; tokkoon tokkoon keessan garboota dhiiraa dubartii isin akka isaan gara fedhan deemaniif bilisa baaftanii turtan sana deebiftanii fudhattaniirtu. Akka isaan ammas garboota keessan taʼaniif isaan dirqamsiiftaniirtu.
17 Therefore thus says Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty, says Jehovah-to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. And I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Isin naaf hin ajajamne; lammiiwwan keessaniifis bilisummaa hin labsine. Kanaafuu ani amma, ‘Bilisummaa isinii nan labsa’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Bilisummaan’ kunis bilisummaa goraadeedhaan, dhaʼichaa fi beelaan dhumuu ti. Ani fuula mootummoota lafaa hundaa durattis akka isin jibbamtan nan godha.
18 And I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts of it,
Warra kakuu koo cabsanii walii galtee kakuu fuula koo duratti godhan sanaa hin eegin immoo akkuma jabbii isaan iddoo lamatti qoodanii gidduu isaanii baʼanii darban sanaa nan godha.
19 the rulers of Judah, and the rulers of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf,
Dura buutota Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem, qondaaltota mana murtii, lubootaa fi uummata biyyattii kanneen jabbii gargar qoodame sana gidduu baʼanii darban hunda,
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. And their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.
dabarsee diinota lubbuu isaanii balleessuu barbaadanitti nan kenna. Reeffi isaanii allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata ni taʼa.
21 And I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his rulers, into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army that has gone away from you.
“Anis Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatii fi qondaaltota isaa dabarsee diinota isaanii warra lubbuu isaanii balleessuu barbaadanitti, loltoota mootii Baabilon kanneen isin loluu irraa deebiʼanitti nan kenna.
22 Behold, I will command, says Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city. And they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
Ani ajaja kennee, gara magaalaa kanaatti deebisee isaan nan fida jedha Waaqayyo. Isaanis ishee ni lolu; qabataniis ibiddaan ishee gubu. Anis akka namni tokko iyyuu keessa hin jiraanneef magaalaawwan Yihuudaa nan onsa.”
