Jeremiah 22
1 This is what the Lord has said: Go down to the house of the king of Judah and there give him this word,
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Gara masaraa Mootii Yihuudaatti gad buʼiitii akkana jedhii ergaa kana achitti labsi;
2 And say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, seated on the seat of David, you and your servants and your people who come in by these doors.
‘Yaa Mootii Yihuudaa, ati kan teessoo Daawit irra teessu, ati, qondaaltonni keetii fi sabni kee warri karra kanaan ol galtan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
3 This is what the Lord has said: Do what is right, judging uprightly, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away: do no wrong and be not violent to the man from a strange country and the child without a father and the widow, and let not those who have done no wrong be put to death in this place.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe hojjedhaa. Nama saamame tokko harka nama isa cunqursuutii baasaa. Alagaatti, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnetti yookaan haadha hiyyeessaatti daba yookaan jalʼina hin hojjetinaa; dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnees iddoo kanatti hin dhangalaasinaa.
4 For if you truly do this, then there will come in through the doors of this house kings seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, he and his servants and his people
Yoo isin ajajawwan kanneen sirriitti eegdan mootonni teessoo Daawit irra taaʼan, qondaaltotaa fi saba isaanii wajjin gaarii moototaatii fi fardeen yaabbatanii karrawwan masaraa mootummaa kanaan ol galu.
5 But if you do not give ear to these words, I give you my oath by myself, says the Lord, that this house will become a waste.
Yoo isin ajajawwan kanneen eeguu baattan garuu akka masaraan mootummaa kun barbadeeffamu ani maqaa kootiin kakadheera, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
6 For this is what the Lord has said about the family of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, and the top of Lebanon: but, truly, I will make you waste, with towns unpeopled.
Waaqayyo waaʼee masaraa mootii Yihuudaa akkana jedhaatii: “Ati akka Giliʼaad, akka fiixee Libaanoon naaf taate iyyuu, ani dhugumaan akka gammoojjii, akka magaalaawwan namni keessa hin jiraannee sin taasisa.
7 And I will make ready those who will send destruction on you, everyone armed for war: by them your best cedar-trees will be cut down and put in the fire.
Ani balleessitoota tokkoon tokkoon isaanii miʼa lolaa qabatan, sitti nan erga; isaanis birbirsa kee filatamaa ni ciru; ibiddattis ni naqu.
8 And nations from all sides will go past this town, and every man will say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done such things to this great town?
“Namoonni biyya hedduus yommuu magaalaa kana biraan darbanitti, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif magaalaa guddaa kanatti waan akkanaa fide?’ jedhanii wal gaafatu.
9 And they will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord their God, and became worshippers and servants of other gods.
Isaanis, ‘Sababii isaan kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii dhiisanii waaqota biraa waaqeffatanii tajaajilaniifii dha’ jedhanii deebisu.”
10 Let there be no weeping for the dead, and make no songs of grief for him: but make bitter weeping for him who has gone away, for he will never come back or see again the country of his birth.
Isin nama duʼeef hin booʼinaa yookaan hin gaddinaa; qooda kanaa nama boojiʼameef hiqqifadhaa booʼaa; inni lammata hin deebiʼu yookaan biyya itti dhalate hin arguutii.
11 For this is what the Lord has said about Shallum, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: He will never come back there again:
Waaqayyo waaʼee Shaluum ilma Yosiyaas kan qooda abbaa isaa mootii Yihuudaa taʼee garuu iddoo kanaa deeme sanaa akkana jedhaatii: “Inni gonkumaa hin deebiʼu.
12 But death will come to him in the place where they have taken him away prisoner, and he will never see this land again.
Inni iddoo boojiʼamee itti geeffame sanatti duʼa; biyya kanas lammaffaa hin argu.”
13 A curse is on him who is building his house by wrongdoing, and his rooms by doing what is not right; who makes use of his neighbour without payment, and gives him nothing for his work;
“Nama ollaa isaa utuu gatii humna isaa hin kenniniif akkasumaan hojjechiifachuudhaan mana isaa karaa qajeelaa hin taʼiniin, kutaa isaa kan mana gubbaa immoo karaa sirrii hin taʼiniin ijaarratuuf wayyoo.
14 Who says, I will make a wide house for myself, and rooms of great size, and has windows cut out, and has it roofed with cedar and painted with bright red.
Inni, ‘Ani masaraa guddaa tokko, kutaa mana gubbaa balʼaa isaa wajjin ofii kootiif nan ijaarradha’ jedha. Kanaafuu inni foddaawwan itti baasee muka birbirsaatiin bareechee halluu diimaadhaan miidhagsa.
15 Are you to be a king because you make more use of cedar than your father? did not your father take food and drink and do right, judging in righteousness, and then it was well for him?
“Birbirsa hedduu qabaachuun kee mootii si taasisaa? Abbaan kee nyaataa dhugaatii hin qabu turee? Inni waan qajeelaa fi haqa hojjete; kanaafuu wanni hundinuu ni qajeeleef.
16 He was judge in the cause of the poor and those in need; then it was well. Was not this to have knowledge of me? says the Lord.
Inni hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattootaaf ni falme; kanaafuu wanni hundi ni qajeeleef. Na beekuu jechuun kanuma mitii?” jedha Waaqayyo.
17 But your eyes and your heart are fixed only on profit for yourself, on causing the death of him who has done no wrong, and on violent and cruel acts.
Iji keetii fi garaan kee garuu buʼaa karaa hin maliniin argamu irra, dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnee dhangalaasuu irra, cunqursaa fi goolii kaasuu qofa irra buʼeera.
18 So this is what the Lord has said about Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will make no weeping for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they will make no weeping for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo waaʼee Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa, ilma Yosiyaas akkana jedha: “Isaan, ‘Anaaf wayyoo, yaa obboleessa koo! Anaaf wayyoo, yaa obboleettii koo!’ jedhanii hin booʼaniif. Isaan, ‘Anaaf wayyoo, yaa gooftaa koo! Anaaf wayyoo yaa ulfina isaa!’ jedhanii hin booʼaniif.
19 They will do to him what they do to the dead body of an ass; his body will be pulled out and placed on the earth outside the doors of Jerusalem.
Inni awwaala harree argata, jechuunis lafa irra harkifamee karrawwan Yerusaalem keessaa gad baafamee gatama.”
20 Go up to Lebanon and give a cry; let your voice be loud in Bashan, crying out from Abarim; for all your lovers have come to destruction
“Libaanoonitti ol baʼii iyyi; sagaleen kee Baashaan keessatti haa dhagaʼamu; Abaariim keessaas iyyi; michoonni kee hundi barbadeeffamaniiruutii.
21 My word came to you in the time of your well-being; but you said, I will not give ear. This has been your way from your earliest years, you did not give attention to my voice.
Ani yeroo ati nagaa qabdutti si akeekkachiiseen ture; ati garuu, ‘Ani hin dhaggeeffadhu!’ jette. Kun ijoollummaa keetii jalqabee amala kee ture; ati naaf hin ajajamne.
22 All the keepers of your sheep will be food for the wind, and your lovers will be taken away prisoners: truly, then you will be shamed and unhonoured because of all your evil-doing.
Tiksoota kee hunda bubbeen fudhatee sokka; michoonni kees ni boojiʼamu. Sababii hammina kee hundaatiif ati ni qaanofta; ni salphattas.
23 O you who are living in Lebanon, making your living-place in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied will you be when pains come on you, as on a woman in childbirth!
Ati kan Libaanoon keessa jiraattu, kan muka birbirsaatiin mana ijaarrattu, yeroo dhiphinni si qabee akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattu tokkoo miixattutti ati akkam aadda!
24 By my life, says the Lord, even if Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, was the ring on my right hand, even from there I would have you pulled off;
“Akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼe” jedha Waaqayyo; “Yaa Yehooyaakiin mooticha Yihuudaa, ilma Yehooyaaqiim, yoo ati qubeelaa chaappaa harka koo mirgaa taatee illee ani baaseen si gata.
25 And I will give you into the hands of those desiring your death, and into the hands of those whom you are fearing, even into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of the Chaldaeans.
Ani warra lubbuu kee galaafachuu barbaadanitti, warra ati sodaattu jechuunis Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonii fi Baabilonotatti dabarsee sin kenna.
26 I will send you out, and your mother who gave you birth, into another country not the land of your birth; and there death will come to you.
Ani siʼii fi haadha si deesse biyya biraatti, biyya tokkoon keessan iyyuu itti hin dhalatinitti isin nan darbadhaa; isin lachuu achitti duutu.
27 But to the land on which their soul's desire is fixed, they will never come back.
Isin biyya itti deebiʼuu hawwitanitti gonkumaa hin deebitan.”
28 Is this man Coniah a broken vessel of no value? is he a vessel in which there is no pleasure? why are they violently sent out, he and his seed, into a land which is strange to them?
Yehooyaakiin kun nama akkuma okkotee cabaa tuffatame, miʼa namni tokko iyyuu hin barbaanneedhaa? Ijoolleen isaatii fi inni maaliif darbatamanii biyya hin beeknetti gatamani?
29 O earth, earth, earth, give ear to the word of the Lord!
Yaa lafaa, yaa lafaa, yaa lafaa, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi!
30 The Lord has said, Let this man be recorded as having no children, a man who will not do well in all his life: for no man of his seed will do well, seated on the seat of the kingdom of David and ruling again in Judah.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Namicha kana akka nama ijoollee hin qabne tokkootti, akka nama bara jireenya isaa keessa hin milkoofne tokkootti galmeessaa; sanyii isaa keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin milkaaʼu, namni tokko iyyuu teessoo Daawit irra hin taaʼu, yookaan siʼachi Yihuudaa hin bulchuutii.”
