Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead before You. Yet about Your judgments I wish to contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?
Yaa Waaqayyo yommuu ani iyyata koo fuula kee duratti dhiʼeeffadhutti ati yeroo hunda qajeelaa dha. Taʼu iyyuu ani waaʼee qajeelummaa keetii nan dubbadha; karaan jalʼootaa maaliif milkaaʼa? Warri hin amanamne hundi maaliif nagaan jiraatu?
2 You planted them, and they have taken root. They have grown and produced fruit. You are ever on their lips, but far from their hearts.
Ati isaan dhaabde; isaanis hidda gad fageeffataniiru; ni guddatu; ijas ni naqatu. Ati yeroo hunda afaan isaaniitii hin buutu; garaa isaanii irraa garuu fagoo jirta.
3 But You know me, O LORD; You see me and test my heart toward You. Drag away the wicked like sheep to the slaughter and set them apart for the day of carnage.
Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo ati na beekta; na ilaaltees yaada ani siif qabu ni qorta. Akka hoolaa qalamuuf deemuutti harkisii isaan geessi! Guyyaa qalmaatiifis kophaatti isaan baasi!
4 How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field be withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, “He cannot see what our end will be.”
Biyyattiin hamma yoomiitti boossee margi dirree hundis goga? Sababii hammina warra biyyattii keessa jiraataniitii fi sababii namoonni, “Inni waan nurra gaʼaa jiru hin argu” jedhaniif horii fi simbirroonni dhumaniiru.
5 “If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
“Ati namoota lafoo wajjin fiigdee erga isaan si dadhabsiisanii, fardeen wajjin akkamitti dorgomuu dandeessa ree? Ati biyya nagaa keessatti erga gufatte, bosona Yordaanos keessatti akkam taata ree?
6 Even your brothers— your own father’s household— even they have betrayed you; even they have cried aloud against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.
Obboloonni kee, maatiin abbaa keetii, isaan iyyuu si gananiiru; isaan sagalee ol fudhatanii sitti iyyu. Yoo isaan afaan nagaa sitti dubbatan iyyuu, ati isaan hin amanin.
7 I have forsaken My house; I have abandoned My inheritance. I have given the love of My life into the hands of her enemies.
“Ani mana koo dhiiseera; handhuuraa koos gateera; ani ishee garaan koo jaallatu sana harka diinota isheetti dabarsee kenneera.
8 My inheritance has become to Me like a lion in the forest. She has roared against Me; therefore I hate her.
Handhuuraan koo akkuma leenca bosonaa natti taateerti. Isheen natti aadde; kanaafuu ani ishee jibbeera.
9 Is not My inheritance to Me like a speckled bird of prey with other birds of prey circling against her? Go, gather all the beasts of the field; bring them to devour her.
Handhuuraan koo akka allaattii burree kan allaattiiwwan biraa marsanii miidhan tokkoo natti hin taanee? Dhaqaatii bineensota bosonaa hunda walitti qabaa; akka ishee nyaataniifis isaan fidaa.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard; they have trampled My plot of ground. They have turned My pleasant field into a desolate wasteland.
Tiksoonni hedduun iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii ni balleessu; qooda koos ni dhidhiitu; qooda natti tolus ni onsu.
11 They have made it a desolation; desolate before Me, it mourns. All the land is laid waste, but no man takes it to heart.
Isaan isa onsu; inni onee gara kootti iyya; namni dhimma isaa qabus waan hin jirreef lafti guutuun onee hafa.
12 Over all the barren heights in the wilderness the destroyers have come, for the sword of the LORD devours from one end of the earth to the other. No flesh has peace.
Lafa ol kaʼaa qullaa gammoojjii keessaa hunda irra balleessitoonni ni raamʼisu; goraadeen Waaqayyoo // moggaa biyyattii tokko irraa hamma moggaa kaaniitti ni fixaatii; namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu.
13 They have sown wheat but harvested thorns. They have exhausted themselves to no avail. Bear the shame of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”
Isaan qamadii facaasu garuu qoraatii haammatu; ni dhamaʼu garuu homaa hin argatan. Sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo isa cimaa sanaatiif midhaan galfatanitti ni qaanaʼu.”
14 This is what the LORD says: “As for all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people Israel, I am about to uproot them from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani olloota koo hamoo kanneen handhuuraa ani saba koo Israaʼeliif kenne qabatan hunda biyya isaanii keessaa nan buqqisa; mana Yihuudaas isaan gidduudhaa nan buqqisa.
15 But after I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.
Ani ergan isaan buqqisee booddee deebiʼee naʼeefii tokkoo tokkoo isaanii gara handhuuraa isaaniitii fi gara biyya ofii isaaniitti nan deebisa.
16 And if they will diligently learn the ways of My people and swear by My name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’—just as they once taught My people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among My people.
Yoo isaan haala jireenya saba koo akka gaarii baratanii akkuma duraan saba koo Baʼaaliin kakachuu barsiisan sana, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jechuudhaan maqaa kootiin kakatan, isaan saba koo gidduutti ni hundeeffamu.
17 But if they will not obey, then I will uproot that nation; I will uproot it and destroy it, declares the LORD.”
Garuu yoo sabni kam iyyuu naa ajajamuu dide, ani guutumaan guutuutti isa nan buqqisa; nan balleessas” jedha Waaqayyo.
