Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, became king in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.
Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon Zedeqiyaa ilma Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa taasise; innis iddoo Yehooyaakiin ilma Yehooyaaqiim buʼee mootii taʼe.
2 But he and his servants and the people of the land did not give ear to the words of the Lord which he said by Jeremiah the prophet.
Garuu inni yookaan tajaajiltoonni isaa yookaan sabni biyya sanaa dubbii Waaqayyo karaa Ermiyaas raajichaatiin dubbate sana hin qalbeeffanne.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.
Taʼus Zedeqiyaa mootichi, “Maaloo Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya nuu kadhadhu” jedhee Yehuukal ilma Shelemiyaatii fi Sefaaniyaa lubicha ilma Maʼaseyaa gara Ermiyaas raajichaatti erge.
4 (Now Jeremiah was going about among the people, for they had not put him in prison.
Ermiyaas waan yeroo sanatti mana hidhaatti hin galfaminiif sodaa malee saba gidduu ni deddeebiʼa ture.
5 And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.)
Loltoonni Faraʼoon Gibxii baʼanii turan; Baabilononni Yerusaalemin marsanii turanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti Yerusaalemin dhiisanii baʼan.
6 Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Kana irratti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas raajichaa dhufe:
7 The Lord, the God of Israel, has said: This is what you are to say to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from me: See, Pharaoh's army, which has come out to your help, will go back to Egypt, to their land.
“Waaqayyo, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Mooticha Yihuudaa isa akka isin waa na gaafattaniif isin erge sanaan akkana jedhaa; ‘Loltoonni Faraʼoon kanneen isin gargaaruuf dhufan sun gara biyya isaanii, gara Gibxitti ni deebiʼu.
8 And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.
Ergasii Baabilononni deebiʼanii magaalaa kana ni dhaʼu; ni qabatu; ni gubus.’
9 The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away.
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Baabilononni dhugumaan nu dhiisanii deemu’ jettanii yaaduudhaan of hin gowwoomsinaa; isaan hin deemaniitii!
10 For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire.
Utuu isin loltoota Baabilonotaa kanneen isin lolaa jiran kana hunda moʼattanii warri madaaʼan qofti dunkaana isaanii keessatti hafanii iyyuu isaan gad baʼanii magaalaa kana ni gubu.”
11 And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Erga loltoonni Baabilonotaa sababii waraana Faraʼooniif jedhanii Yerusaalemin dhiisanii baʼanii as,
12 Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, with the purpose of taking up his heritage there among the people.
Ermiyaas saba achi jiraatu keessaa qooda qabeenyaa kan isa gaʼu argachuuf jedhee Yerusaalemii kaʼee biyya Beniyaam dhaqe.
13 But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans.
Garuu yeroo inni karra Beniyaam bira gaʼetti Yiriyaan ilmi Shelemiyaa, ilmi Hanaaniyaa itti gaafatamaan eegumsaa sun, “Ati gara Baabilonotaatti sokkaa jirta!” jedhee Ermiyaas raajicha qabee hidhe.
14 Then Jeremiah said, That is not true; I am not going to the Chaldaeans. But he would not give ear to him: so Irijah made him prisoner and took him to the rulers.
Ermiyaas immoo, “Kun dhugaa miti! Ani gara Baabilonotaatti sokkuutti hin jiru” jedhe. Yiriyaan garuu isa dhagaʼuu dide; qooda kanaa Ermiyaasin qabee qondaaltotatti dhiʼeesse.
15 And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and gave him blows and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Isaanis Ermiyaasitti aaranii isa tuman; mana Yoonaataan barreessaa sanaa kan mana hidhaa godhatan sana keessatti isa hidhan.
16 So Jeremiah came into the hole of the prison, under the arches, and was there for a long time.
Ermiyaasis kutaa mana boollaa keessa buufame; achis yeroo dheeraa ture.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon.
Ergasii Zedeqiyaa Mootichi nama itti ergee gara masaraa ofii isaatti isa fichisiise. Achittis kophaatti baasee, “Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa dhufe tokko iyyuu jiraa?” jedhee isa gaafate. Ermiyaasis, “Eeyyee; ati dabarfamtee mootii Baabiloniitti ni kennamta” jedhee deebise.
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Ergasiis Ermiyaas, Zedeqiyaas mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Ani sitti yookaan qondaaltota keetti yookaan saba kanatti balleessaa maalii hojjennaan isin mana hidhaa keessa na buuftan?
19 Where now are your prophets who said to you, The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land?
Raajonni kee warri, ‘Mootiin Baabilon siʼi yookaan biyya kana hin lollu’ jedhanii raajii siif dubbatan sun eessa jiru?
20 And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.
Amma garuu gooftaa koo yaa mootichaa, maaloo na dhagaʼi. Ani iyyata koo fuula kee duratti nan dhiʼeeffadhaatii, mana Yoonaataan barreessaa sanaatti deebiftee na hin ergin; yoo ati na ergite ani achumatti duʼaatii.”
21 Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.
Kana irratti Zedeqiyaa Mootichi akka Ermiyaas oobdii eegumsaa keessa kaaʼamuu fi akka isaan hamma buddeenni magaalaa sanaa dhumutti guyyaa guyyaatti buddeena tokko tokko warra buddeena tolchan irraa fuudhanii isaaf kennan ajaje. Akkasiin Ermiyaas oobdii eegumsaa keessa ture.
