< Jeremiah 50 >
1 The word which the Lord said about Babylon, about the land of the Chaldaeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
Dubbiin Waaqayyo karaa Ermiyaas raajichaatiin waaʼee Baabilonii fi waaʼee biyya Baabilonotaa dubbate kanaa dha:
2 Give it out among the nations, make it public, and let the flag be lifted up; give the word and keep nothing back; say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken, her images are put to shame, her gods are broken.
“Saboota gidduutti lallabaatii labsaa; faajjii ol qabaatii labsaa; utuu homaa hin hambisin akkana jedhaa; ‘Baabilon ni qabamti; Beel ni salphifama; Meroodak gooliidhaan guutama. Fakkiiwwan Baabilon ni salphifamu; waaqonni ishee tolfamoonis sodaan guutamu.’
3 For out of the north a nation is coming up against her, which will make her land waste and unpeopled: they are in flight, man and beast are gone.
Sabni Kaabaa dhufu tokko ishee lolee lafa ishee duwwaa hambisa. Namni tokko iyyuu ishee keessa hin jiraatu; namaa fi horiin baqatee keessaa baʼa.
4 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping and making prayer to the Lord their God.
“Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, sabni Israaʼelii fi sabni Yihuudaa imimmaaniin Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii barbaacha tokkummaadhaan ni dhufu” jedha Waaqayyo;
5 They will be questioning about the way to Zion, with their faces turned in its direction, saying, Come, and be united to the Lord in an eternal agreement which will be kept in mind for ever.
“Isaan karaa gara Xiyoon geessu ni gaafatu; fuula isaaniis garasitti garagalfatu. Isaan dhufanii kakuu bara baraa kan gonkumaa hin irraanfatamneen Waaqayyotti of maxxansu.
6 My people have been wandering sheep: their keepers have made them go out of the right way, turning them loose on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, having no memory of their resting-place.
“Sabni koo hoolota badan taʼaniiru; tikseen isaanii isaan dogoggorsee akka isaan tulluuwwan irra jooran godhe. Isaan tulluu fi gaara irra jooranii lafa boqonnaa isaanii illee wallaalan.
7 They have been attacked by all those who came across them: and their attackers said, We are doing no wrong, because they have done evil against the Lord in whom is righteousness, against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
Kan isaan argu hundi isaan liqimse; diinonni isaaniis, ‘Nu balleessaa hin qabnu; isaan Waaqayyo iddoo jireenya isaanii kan dhugaa taʼe, Waaqayyo abdii abbootii isaaniitti cubbuu hojjetaniiruutii’ jedhan.
8 Go in flight out of Babylon, go out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and be like he-goats before the flocks.
“Baabilonii baqadhaa baʼaa; biyya Baabilonotaa keessaa baʼaa; akkuma korbeessa reʼee kan bushaayee qajeelchuu taʼaa.
9 For see, I am moving and sending up against Babylon a band of great nations from the north country: and they will put their armies in position against her; and from there she will be taken: their arrows will be like those of an expert man of war; not one will come back without getting its mark.
Ani biyya kaabaatii garee saboota gurguddaa kaasee Baabilonitti nan ergaatii. Isaanis hiriiranii isheetti dhufu; isheenis karaa kaabaatiin ni qabamti. Xiyyi isaanii akkuma loltoota ogeeyyii harka duwwaa hin deebinee ti.
10 And the wealth of Chaldaea will come into the hands of her attackers: all those who take her wealth will have enough, says the Lord.
Baabilonis ni saamamti; warri ishee saaman hundis ni quufu” jedha Waaqayyo.
11 Because you are glad, because you are lifted up with pride, you wasters of my heritage, because you are playing like a young cow put out to grass, and you make a noise like strong horses;
“Isin warri handhuuraa koo saamtan waan gammaddanii fi ililchitaniif, akkuma raadaa marga keessaa burraaqxanii akka korma fardaa imimsitan illee,
12 Your mother will be put to shame; she who gave you birth will be looked down on: see, she will be the last of the nations, a waste place, a dry and unwatered land.
haati keessan akka malee qaanofti; kan isin deesses ni salphatti. Isheen saboota hunda keessaa gad aantuu, lafa onaa, lafa gogaa fi gammoojjii taati.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord no one will be living in it, and it will be quite unpeopled: everyone who goes by Babylon will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.
Isheen sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiif guutumaan guutuutti ni onti malee namni ishee keessa hin jiraatu. Sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif namni Baabilon keessa darbu hundi ni dinqisiifata; itti qoosas.
14 Put your armies in position against Babylon on every side, all you bowmen; let loose your arrows at her, not keeping any back: for she has done evil against the Lord.
“Isin warri iddaa luqqifattan hundinuu, naannoo Baabilonitti hiriiraa. Sababii isheen Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjetteef, xiyyawwan itti darbadhaa! Homaa hin hambisinaa.
15 Give a loud cry against her on every side; she has given herself up, her supports are overturned, her walls are broken down: for it is the payment taken by the Lord; give her payment; as she has done, so do to her.
Karaa hundaan isheetti iyyaa! Isheen harka kennatti; gamoon ishee ni jiga; dallaan ishee diigameera. Kun haaloo Waaqayyoo waan taʼeef isheetti haaloo baʼaa; waanuma isheen warra kaanitti hojjette isheetti hojjedhaa.
16 Let the planter of seed be cut off from Babylon, and everyone using the curved blade at the time of the grain-cutting: for fear of the cruel sword, everyone will be turned to his people, everyone will go in flight to his land.
Nama sanyii facaasuu fi kan yeroo midhaan haamamutti haamtuu qabatus Baabilon keessaa balleessaa. Sababii goraadee cunqursaatiin tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara saba ofii isaatti haa deebiʼu; tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara biyya ofii isaattis haa baqatu.
17 Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have been driving him away: first he was attacked by the king of Assyria, and now his bones have been broken by Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.
“Israaʼel hoolaa bittinnaaʼee dha; leenconni isa ariʼan. Kan jalqabatti isa nyaate mootii Asoor; kan dhuma irratti lafee isaa caccabse immoo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon ture.”
18 So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send punishment on the king of Babylon and on his land, as I have given punishment to the king of Assyria.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani akkuma mootii Asoor adabe sana mootii Baabilonii fi biyya isaa nan adaba.
19 And I will make Israel come back to his resting-place, and he will get his food on Carmel and Bashan, and have his desire in full measure on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
Israaʼelin garuu lafa tika isaatti nan deebisa; innis Qarmeloosii fi Baashaan irra ni dheeda; tulluu Efreemii fi Giliʼaad irra dheedee ni quufa.
20 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, when the evil-doing of Israel is looked for, there will be nothing; and in Judah no sins will be seen: for I will have forgiveness for those whom I will keep safe.
Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, yakki Israaʼel ni barbaadama” jedha Waaqayyo; “garuu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; cubbuun Yihuudaas ni barbaadama; garuu tokko iyyuu hin argamu; ani hambaan baraare sanaaf dhiifama nan godhaatii.
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the people of Pekod; put them to death and send destruction after them, says the Lord, and do everything I have given you orders to do.
“Biyya Meraataayimii fi jiraattota Pheqood lolaa. Ariʼaa, ajjeesaa, guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessaa,” jedha Waaqayyo. “Waan ani isin ajaje hunda godhaa.
22 There is a sound of war in the land and of great destruction.
Sagaleen waraanaa, sagaleen badiisa guddaas biyya sana keessa jira!
23 How is the hammer of all the earth cut in two and broken! how has Babylon become a waste among the nations!
Burruusni guutummaa lafaa akkamitti cabe! Akkamittis bullaaʼe! Baabilon saboota gidduutti, akkam onte!
24 I have put a net for you, and you have been taken, O Babylon, without your knowledge: you have been uncovered and taken because you were fighting against the Lord.
Yaa Baabilon, ani kiyyoo siif diriirseera; atis utuu hin beekin qabamte; ati sababii Waaqayyoon mormiteef, argamtee qabamte.
25 From his store-house the Lord has taken the instruments of his wrath: for the Lord, the Lord of armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldaeans.
Waaqayyo mankuusaa miʼa lolaa isaa banee miʼa lola dheekkamsa isaa gad baafateera; Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waan biyya Baabilonotaatti hojjetu qabaatii.
26 Come up against her one and all, let her store-houses be broken open: make her into a mass of stones, give her to the curse, till there is nothing of her to be seen.
Biyya fagootii isheetti kottaa. Gombisaawwan ishee diigaa; akkuma tuullaa midhaaniitti ishee tuulaa. Guutumaan guutuutti ishee balleessaa; waan tokko illee isheef hin hambisinaa.
27 Put all her oxen to the sword; let them go down to death: sorrow is theirs, for their day has come, the time of their punishment.
Korommii ishee hunda qalaa; isaan gara qalmaatti haa geeffaman! Isaaniif wayyoo! Yeroon isaan itti adabaman, guyyaan isaanii dhufeeraatii.
28 The voice of those who are in flight, who have got away safe from the land of Babylon, to give news in Zion of punishment from the Lord our God, even payment for his Temple.
Akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya haaloo baʼe, akka inni mana qulqullummaa isaatiif haaloo baʼe, kooluu galtootaa fi baqattoota Baabilonii dhufanii Xiyoon keessatti lallaban irraa dhagaʼaa.
29 Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
“Namoota Xiyyaan lolan kanneen iddaa luqqifatan hunda Baabilonitti waamaa. Naannoo ishee hunda marsaa; namni tokko iyyuu hin miliqin. Gatii hojii ishee kennaafii; waanuma isheen warra kaanitti hojjette isheettis hojjedhaa. Isheen Qulqullicha Israaʼel, Waaqayyotti koorteertii.
30 For this cause her young men will be falling in her streets, and all her men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord.
Kanaafuu dargaggoonni ishee karaa irratti dhumu; gaafas loltoonni ishee hundi ni barbadaaʼu” jedha Waaqayyo.
31 See, I am against you, O pride, says the Lord, the Lord of armies, for your day has come, the time when I will send punishment on you.
“Yaa koortuu nana, kunoo ani sitti kaʼeera” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda dandaʼu; “yeroon ati itti adabamtu, guyyaan kee dhufeeraatii.
32 And pride will go with uncertain steps and have a fall, and there will be no one to come to his help: and I will put a fire in his towns, burning up everything round about him.
Koortuun sun gufattee lafa dhoofti; namni gargaaree ol ishee qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ani magaalaawwan ishee keessatti ibidda warra naannoo ishee jiru hunda gubee fixu nan qabsiisa.”
33 This is what the Lord of armies has said: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are crushed down together: all those who took them prisoner keep them in a tight grip; they will not let them go.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni Israaʼel cunqurfameera; sabni Yihuudaas akkasuma cunqurfameera. Warri isaan boojiʼan hundi jabeessanii isaan qabataniiru; isaan gad dhiisuus didaniiru.
34 Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.
Taʼu illee Furaan isaanii jabaa dha; maqaan isaas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha. Inni biyya isaaniitiif boqonnaa kenne; warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan garuu boqonnaa dhowwuuf dhimma isaaniitiif jabeessee ni falma.
35 A sword is on the Chaldaeans, says the Lord, and on the people of Babylon, and on her rulers and on her wise men.
“Goraadeen tokko Baabilonotatti dhufe!” jedha Waaqayyo; “warra Baabilon keessa jiraatanitti, qondaaltotaa fi namoota ishee ogeeyyiitti dhufeera!
36 A sword is on the men of pride, and they will become foolish: a sword is on her men of war, and they will be broken.
Goraadeen raajota ishee sobdootatti, dhufeera! Isaan gowwoota taʼu. Goraadeen gootota isheetti dhufeera! Isaanis sodaadhaan guutamu.
37 A sword is on all the mixed people in her, and they will become like women: a sword is on her store-houses, and they will be taken by her attackers.
Goraadeen fardeenii fi gaariiwwan isheetti, Namoota Ormaa kanneen gidduu ishee jiraatan hundatti dhufe! Isaan dadhaboo taʼu. Goraadeen qabeenya isheetti dhufe! Isaan ni saamamu.
38 A sword is on her waters, drying them up; for it is a land of images, and their minds are fixed on false gods.
Caamsaan bishaan isheetti ni dhufa! Isaanis ni gogu. Isheen biyya waaqota tolfamoo, kan waaqota tolfamoo sodaadhaan maraataniitii.
39 For this reason the beasts of the waste land with the wolves will make their holes there and the ostriches will be living in it: never again will men be living there, it will be unpeopled from generation to generation.
“Kanaafuu uumamawwan gammoojjiitii fi waraabeyyiin achi jiraatu; urunguunis achi jiraatti. Lammata namni ishee keessa hin jiraatu; yookaan dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti namni keessa jiraatu hin jiru.
40 As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns were overturned by God, says the Lord, so no man will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.
Akkuma Waaqni Sodoomii fi Gomoraa, magaalaawwan naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin balleesse sana” jedha Waaqayyo; “namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu; sanyiin namaa tokkos ishee keessa hin qubatu.
41 See, a people is coming from the north; a great nation and a number of kings will be put in motion from the inmost parts of the earth.
“Kunoo! Gareen loltootaa tokko kaaba irraa dhufaa jira; sabni guddaan tokkoo fi mootonni baayʼeen moggaa lafaatii sosochoʼaa jiru.
42 Bows and spears are in their hands; they are cruel and have no mercy; their voice is like the thunder of the sea, and they go on horses; everyone in his place like men going to the fight, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
Isaan xiyyaa fi eeboo qabataniiru; isaan gara jabeeyyii namaafis naasuu hin qabnee dha. Yommuu isaan fardeen isaanii gulufanitti gigigsuun isaanii akkuma huursaa galaanaa ti; yaa intala Baabilon, isaan akkuma namoota duulaaf hiriiraniitti si loluuf dhufu.
43 The king of Babylon has had news of them, and his hands have become feeble: trouble has come on him and pain like the pain of a woman in childbirth.
Mootiin Baabilon oduu waaʼee isaanii dhagaʼe; harki isaas irratti duʼe. Dhiphinni isa qabateera; miixuunis akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu isa qabeera.
44 See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make them go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will keep his place before me?
Ani akkuma leenca bosona Yordaanosii baʼee gara lafa dheedaa gabbataa dhufu tokkoo dafee Baabilonin biyya isheetii nan ariʼa. Filatamaan ani waan kanaaf muudu eenyu? Kan akka koo eenyu? Eenyutus naan morkuu dandaʼa? Tiksee akkamiitu fuula koo dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa?”
45 So give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Babylon, and to his purposes designed against the land of the Chaldaeans; Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.
Kanaafuu waan Waaqayyo Baabilonitti karoorfate, waan inni biyya Baabilonotaatti yaades dhagaʼaa; Ilmaan bushaayee harkifamanii ni fudhatamu; innis sababii isaaniitiif lafa dheeda isaanii guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeessa.
46 At the cry, Babylon is taken! the earth is shaking, and the cry comes to the ears of the nations.
Waca qabamuu Baabiloniitiin lafti ni raafamti; iyyi ishees saboota gidduutti ni dhagaʼama.
