Jeremiah 8

“‘Bara sana lafeen moototaatii fi qondaaltota Yihuudaa, lafeen lubootaatii fi raajotaa, lafeen namoota Yerusaalem awwaala isaanii keessaa ni baafama’ jedha Waaqayyo.
2 And they shall spread them abroad to the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and adored: they shall not be gathered, and they shall not be buried: they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth.
‘Isaan fuula aduu fi jiʼaa duratti, fuula guutummaa urjiiwwan samii hundaa, kanneen jaallatanii fi tajaajilanii, kanneen faana buʼanii gorsa gaafatanii fi waaqeffatan sanaa duratti ni saaxilamu. Isaan akkuma kosii lafatti gatamee taʼan malee walitti hin qabaman yookaan hin awwaalaman.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all that shall remain of this wicked kindred in all places, which are left, to which I have cast them out, saith the Lord of hosts.

4 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Shall not he that falleth, rise again? and he that is turned away, shall he not turn again?

5 Why then is this people in Jerusalem turned away with a stubborn revolting? they have laid hold on lying, and have refused to return.
Yoos sabni kun maaliif karaa irraa jalʼata? Yerusaalem maaliif yeroo hunda karaa irraa jalʼatti? Isaan gowwoomsaatti cichu; deebiʼuus ni didu.
6 I attended, and hearkened; no man speaketh what is good, there is none that doth penance for his sin, saying: What have I done? They are all turned to their own course, as a horse rushing to the battle.
Ani qalbeeffadhee dhaggeeffadheera; isaan garuu waan qajeelaa hin dubbatan. Namni tokko iyyuu, “Ani maalan balleesse?” jedhee hammina isaa irraa hin deebiʼu. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii akkuma farda lolatti gulufuu karaa ofii isaanii irra qajeelu.
7 The kite in the air hath known her time: the turtle, and the swallow, and the stork have observed the time of their coming: but my people have not known the judgment of the Lord.
Huummoon samii keessaa iyyuu waqtii isheef murtaaʼe ni beekti; gugeen, daalotee fi cuquliisnis yeroo godaansa isaanii ni eegu. Sabni koo garuu seera Waaqayyoo hin beeku.
8 How do you say: We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Indeed the lying pen of the scribes hath wrought falsehood.
“‘Isin akkamitti, “Nu seera Waaqayyoo waan qabnuuf ogeeyyii dha” jechuu dandeessu? Garuu kunoo, qalamni sobaa kan barreessitootaa sobee barreesseera.
9 The wise men are confounded, they are dismayed, and taken: for they have cast away the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.
Namoonni ogeeyyiin ni qaaneffamu; isaan naʼanii kiyyoodhaan ni qabamu; isaan erga dubbii Waaqayyoo tuffatanii, ogummaa akkamii qabu ree?
10 Therefore I will give their women to strangers, their fields to others for an inheritance: because from the least even to the greatest all follow covetousness: from the prophet even to the priest, all deal deceitfully.
Kanaafuu ani niitota isaanii namoota biraatiif, lafa qotiisaa isaanii immoo moʼattootaaf nan kenna. Xinnaadhaa hamma guddaatti hundi isaanii iyyuu buʼaa argachuuf gaggabu; raajonnii fi luboonnis akkasuma hundi isaanii nama gowwoomsu.
11 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying Peace, peace: when there was no peace.
Isaan madaa saba kootii, akkuma waan xinnaa tokkootti ilaalanii walʼaanu. Utuu nagaan hin jiraatinis “Nagaa, nagaa” jedhu.
12 They are confounded, because they have committed abomination: yea rather they are not confounded with confusion, and they have not know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall fall, saith the Lord.
Isaan amala isaanii jibbisiisaa sanatti ni qaanaʼuu? Lakkii, isaan qaanii tokko iyyuu hin qaban; qaanaʼuun maal akka taʼe iyyuu hin beekan. Kanaafuu isaan warra kufan wajjin ni kufu; yeroo adabamanitti gad gatamu jedha Waaqayyo.
13 Gathering I will gather them together, saith the Lord, there is no grape on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig tree, the leaf is fallen: and I have given them the things that are passed away.
“‘Ani guutumaan guutuutti isaan nan balleessa; jedha Waaqayyo. Wayinii irratti iji hin argamu. Iji harbuu muka harbuu irratti hin argamu. Baalli isaaniis ni coollaga. Wanni ani isaaniif kenne isaan irraa ni fudhatama.’”
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and hath given us water of gall to drink: for we have sinned against the Lord.
Nu maaliif as teenya? Walitti qabamaa! Kottaa gara magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabaniitti baqannee achitti haa dhumnu! Waan nu cubbuu isatti hojjenneef Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya badiisatti dabarsee nu kenneeraatii; akka dhugnuufis bishaan summaaʼaa nuu kenneera.

Daan keessaa korrisuu fardeen diinaatu dhagaʼama; guutuun biyyattii himimsuu korommii fardeen isaaniitiin hollatti. Isaan biyyattii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda, magaalaa fi warra ishee keessa jiraatan hunda, balleessuuf dhufaniiru.

Kunoo, iyyi saba kootii biyya fagoodhaa ni dhagaʼama: “Waaqayyo Xiyoon keessa hin jiruu? Mootiin ishee achi hin jiruu?” “Isaan maaliif fakkiiwwan isaaniitiin, waaqota isaanii tolfamoo biyya ormaatiin dheekkamsaaf na kakaasu?”
20 The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
“Yeroon itti midhaan galfamu darbeera; bonnis hobbaʼeera; nu garuu hin fayyine.”
21 For the affliction of the daughter of my people I am afflicted, and made sorrowful, astonishment hath taken hold on me.
Sabni koo waan miidhameef anis miidhameera; Ani nan booʼe; sodaan guddaanis na qabate.
22 Is there no balm in Galaad? or is no physician there? Why then is not the wound of the daughter of my people closed?
