Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
Yaa mana Israaʼel, waan Waaqayyo isiniin jedhu dhagaʼaa.
2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Isin karaa saboota ormaa hin baratinaa; saboonni ormaa isaan sodaatan iyyuu isin mallattoowwan samii hin sodaatinaa.
3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman.
Barteen uummattootaa faayidaa hin qabu; isaan bosona keessaa muka muru; ogeessi hojii harkaa immoo qottoodhaan bifa itti baasa.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter.
Isaanis meetii fi warqeedhaan miidhagsu; akka inni hin sochooneef burruusaa fi mismaaraan walitti qabsiisu.
5 Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, and neither can they do any good.”
Waaqonni isaanii tolfamoon akkuma fakkeettii ittiin waa sodaachisan kan lafa qotiisaa buqqee keessaa sana dubbachuu hin dandaʼan; isaan waan deemuu hin dandeenyeef baatamuu qabu. Sababii isaan nama miidhuu yookaan waan gaarii tokko iyyuu hojjechuu hin dandeenyeef isaan hin sodaatinaa.”
6 There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.
Yaa Waaqayyo kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ati guddaa dha; maqaan kees humna guddaa qaba.
7 Who would not fear You, O King of nations? This is Your due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.
Yaa mootii sabootaa eenyutu si hin sodaanne? Kun siif ni malaatii. Ogeeyyii sabootaa hunda keessaa, mootummoota isaanii hunda keessaas kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
8 But they are altogether senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!
Isaan hundinuu qalbii hin qaban; gowwootas; isaan waaqota tolfamoo mukkeenii kanneen faayidaa hin qabneen qajeelfamu.
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz— the work of a craftsman from the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothes are blue and purple, all fashioned by skilled workers.
Meetiin tumame Tarshiishii, warqeen immoo Uufaazii fidama. Wanni ogeessi hojii mukaatii fi tumtuun warqee hojjetan, wanni hojjettoota ogummaa qabaniin hojjetaman hundi halluu cuquliisaa fi diimaa dhiilgee uffifamaniiru.
10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.
Waaqayyo garuu Waaqa dhugaa ti; inni Waaqa jiraataa, Mootii bara baraa ti. Yeroo inni dheekkamutti lafti ni hollatti; saboonnis dheekkamsa isaa dura dhaabachuu hin dandaʼan.
11 Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.”
“Isin waan kana isaanitti himaa; ‘Waaqonni samii fi lafa hin uumin kunneen lafa irraa fi samii jalaa ni barbadaaʼu.’”
12 The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.
Waaqni garuu humna isaatiin lafa uume; ogummaa isaatiin addunyaa hundeesse; hubannaa isaatiinis samiiwwan diriirse.
13 When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
Yommuu inni qaqawweessaʼutti bishaanonni samii ni huursu; inni akka duumessoonni daarii lafaatii ol kaʼan ni godha. Inni bokkaa wajjin balaqqee ni erga; mankuusaalee isaa keessaa immoo bubbee ni fida.
14 Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa gowwaa fi kan beekumsa hin qabnee dha; tokkoon tokkoon tumtuu warqee waaqota tolfamoo isaatiin qaaneffama. Fakkiiwwan inni tolchu kan sobaa ti; isaan hafuura baafatan of keessaa hin qaban.
15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.
Isaan faayidaa hin qaban; meeshaa qoosaa ti. Yeroo adabbiin isaanii gaʼutti ni badu.
16 The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
Inni Qooda Yaaqoob taʼe sun garuu akka warra kanaa miti; inni Uumaa waan hundumaa ti, Israaʼel immoo gosa dhaala isaa ti; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
17 Gather up your belongings from this land, you who live under siege.
Ati kan marfamtee jirtu, biyyattii keessaa baʼuuf qabeenya kee walitti qabadhu.
18 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, at this time I will sling out the inhabitants of the land and bring distress upon them so that they may be captured.”
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; “Kunoo, ani amma warra biyyattii keessa jiraatan furguggisee nan baasa; akka isaan dhiphataniifis rakkina isaanitti nan fida.”
19 Woe to me because of my brokenness; my wound is grievous! But I said, “This is truly my sickness, and I must bear it.”
Waan ani miidhameef anaaf wayyoo! Madaan koo kan hin fayyinee dha! Taʼus ani ofii kootiin, “Kun dhukkuba koo ti; anis isa obsuun qaba” nan jedhe.
20 My tent is destroyed, and all its ropes are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one left to pitch my tent or set up my curtains.
Dunkaanni koo diigameera; funyoon isaa hundis cicciteera. Ilmaan koo na dhiisanii sokkaniiru; isaan hin jiran; namni dunkaana naa dhaabu, yookaan golgaa naa hidhu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
21 For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
Tiksoonni qalbii hin qaban; Waaqayyonis hin barbaaddatan; kanaafuu isaan hin milkaaʼan; bushaayeen isaanii hundinuus bittinnaaʼaniiru.
22 Listen! The sound of a report is coming— a great commotion from the land to the north. The cities of Judah will be made a desolation, a haunt for jackals.
Kunoo, oduun, raafamni guddaan tokko biyya kaabaatii dhufaa jira! Innis magaalaawwan Yihuudaa onsee iddoo waangoonni jiraatan godha.
23 I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani akka jireenyi namaa kan mataa isaa hin taʼin nan beeka; namni adeemsa isaa ofumaan qajeelfachuu dandaʼu hin jiru.
24 Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice— not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
Yaa Waaqayyo dheekkamsa keetiin utuu hin taʼin, murtii qajeelaadhaan na sirreessi; yoo kanaa achii ati na balleessitaatii.
25 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, and on the families that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off; they have devastated his homeland.
Saboota si hin beeknetti uummata maqaa kee hin waammannetti dheekkamsa kee dhangalaasi. Isaan Yaaqoobin nyaataniiruutii; guutumaan guutuuttis isa nyaatanii; iddoo jireenya isaa illee barbadeessaniiru.
