Jeremiah 7
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha;
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.
“Balbala mana Waaqayyoo dura dhaabadhuutii akkana jedhii ergaa kana labsi: “‘Isin sabni Yihuudaa warri Waaqayyoon waaqeffachuuf balbalawwan kanneeniin ol seentan hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
3 Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfadhaa; anis akka isin iddoo kana jiraattan nan godha.
4 Do not trust in deceptive words, chanting: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
Isin dubbii sobaa amanattanii, “Kun mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti!” hin jedhinaa.
5 For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another,
Isin utuu dhugumaan karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfattanii murtii qajeelaa waliif kennitanii,
6 if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm,
utuu isin alagaa, ijoollee abbaa hin qabne yookaan haadha hiyyeessaa cunqursuu baattanii iddoo kanatti dhiiga nama yakka hin qabnee dhangalaasuu baattanii, utuu waaqota isin balleessan duukaa buʼuu baattanii,
7 then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
silaa ani akka isin iddoo kana, biyya ani bara baraan abbootii keessaniif kenne keessa jiraattan nan godha.
8 But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
Isin garuu dubbii sobaa kan faayidaa hin qabne amanachaa jirtu.
9 Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
“‘Isin hattanii nama ajjeeftanii, sagaagaltanii, sobaan kakattanii, Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsitanii, waaqota hin beekin duukaa buutanii,
10 and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’?
ergasii dhuftanii mana maqaa kootiin waamamu kana keessatti fuula koo dhaabatanii, utuma amma iyyuu wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen hunda hojjechaa jirtanuu, “Nu keessaa hin qabnu” jettuu?
11 Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
Manni maqaa kootiin waamame kun holqa saamtotaa isiniif taʼee? Ani garuu waan kana ergeera! jedha Waaqayyo.
12 But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
“‘Mee gara Shiiloo iddoo ani jalqabatti iddoo jireenya Maqaa kootiif godhadhe sanaa dhaqaatii waan ani sababii hammina saba koo Israaʼeliif ishee godhe ilaalaa.
13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Yeroo isin waan kana hunda gootanitti, ani ammumaa amma isinitti dubbadheera; isin garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne. Ani isinan waame; isin garuu hin owwaanne.
14 therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
Kanaafuu ani waanan Shiilootti fide sana amma mana Maqaa kootiin waamamu, mana Qulqullummaa kan isin amanattan, iddoo ani isinii fi abbootii keessaniif kenne kanattis nan fida.
15 And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
Ani akkuman obboloota keessan jechuunis saba Efreem hunda fuula koo duraa ariʼe sana isiniinis nan ariʼa.’
16 As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.
“Kanaafuu ati saba kanaaf hin kadhatin; yookaan waaʼee isaaniitiif hin booʼin yookaan waammata hin dhiʼeessin; ani si hin dhagaʼuutii na hin kadhatin.
17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Ati waan isaan magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessattii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti hojjetan hin argituu?
18 The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
Ijoolleen qoraan funaanu; abbootiin ibidda qabsiisu; dubartoonni immoo Mootittii Samiitiif keekii tolchuuf bukoo bukeessu. Isaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasuuf waaqota biraatiif dhibaayyuu dhibaafatu.
19 But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
Garuu kan isaan dheekkamsaaf kakaasan anaa? jedha Waaqayyo. Isaan ofuma miidhanii qaanaʼan mitii?
20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
“‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Aarii fi dheekkamsi koo iddoo kana irratti, namaa fi horii irratti, mukkeen diidaattii fi waan lafti baaftu irratti ni dhangalaʼa; inni inuma bobaʼa malee hin dhaamu.
21 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
“‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Aarsaa keessan kan gubamu qalma keessanitti dabalaatii foon nyaadhaa!
22 For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
Ani yeroon biyya Gibxii abbootii keessan baasetti waaʼee aarsaa gubamuutii fi qalmaa isaanitti hin dubbanne yookaan isaan hin ajajne;
23 but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.
ani garuu ajaja kana isaaniif nan kenne: Anaaf ajajamaa; ani Waaqa keessan nan taʼa; isinis saba koo ni taatu. Akka isinii toluuf karaa ani isin ajaju hunda irra deemaa.
24 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
Isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne; qooda kanaa mata jabina fedhii garaa isaanii duukaa baʼan. Isaan dugda duubatti deebiʼan malee gara fuula duraatti hin deemne.
25 From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again.
Gaafa abbootiin keessan biyya Gibxii baʼanii jalqabee hamma ammaatti ani guyyuma guyyaan, ammumaa amma tajaajiltoota koo raajota isiniif ergeera.
26 Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
Isaan garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne. Isaan mataa jabaatanii abbootii isaanii caalaa waan hamaa hojjetan.’
27 When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
“Yeroo ati waan kana hunda isaanitti himtu isaan si hin dhagaʼan; yeroo ati isaan waamtus si jalaa hin owwaatan.
28 Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips.
Kanaafuu akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Sabni kun saba Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiif hin ajajamne, kan adabbii isaa illee hin fudhannee dha. Dhugaan badeera; afaan isaanii keessaas dhabameera.
29 Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’
“‘Rifeensa mataa keetii of irraa cirii gati; iddoo ol kaʼaa qullaatti ol baʼii booʼi; Waaqayyo dhaloota dheekkamsa isaa jala jiru kana tuffatee gateeraatii.
30 For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
“‘Sabni Yihuudaa fuula koo duratti waan hamaa hojjeteera; jedha Waaqayyo. Isaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoo jibbisiisoo mana maqaa kootiin waamamu keessa dhaabanii manicha xureessaniiru.
31 They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded, nor did it even enter My mind.
Isaan ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii achitti ibiddaan gubuuf jedhanii Sulula Ben Hinoom keessatti iddoo sagadaa Toofet ijaaran; kun immoo waan ani isaan hin ajajin yookaan yaada kootti hin dhufinii dha.
32 So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
Kanaafuu beekkadhaa! Barri itti namoonni iddoo sanaan, siʼachi Sulula qalmaa jedhanii waaman malee Toofet yookaan Sulula Ben Hinoom hin jenne ni dhufa; isaan hamma iddoon hanqatutti Toofetitti warra duʼan awwaaluutii, jedha Waaqayyo.
33 The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away.
Reeffi namoota kanaa simbirroota samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata taʼa; namni sodaachisee irraa isaan ariʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
34 I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”
Ani magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irra sagalee kolfaatii fi gammachuu, sagalee misirrichaatii fi misirrittii nan balleessa; biyyattiin ni ontiitii.
