< Jeremiah 26 >
1 This message came from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah king of Judah,
Jalqaba bara mootummaa Yehooyaaqiim ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaa sanaatti dubbiin kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe:
2 This is what the Lord says: Go and stand in the Temple courtyard and deliver the whole message I have ordered you to give to everyone who comes from all the towns of Judah to worship there. Don't leave out a single word.
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Oobdii mana Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabadhuutii namoota magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa baʼanii mana Waaqayyoo keessatti waaqeffachuu dhufan hundatti dubbadhu. Waan ani si ajaju hunda itti himi; jecha tokko illee hin hambisin.
3 Maybe they'll they will listen, and each of them will give up their evil ways so that I won't have to carry out the disaster I'm planning to bring down on them because of the evil things they do.
Tarii isaan dhagaʼanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa karaa isaa hamaa sana irraa ni deebiʼa taʼa. Anis gaabbee badiisa sababii hammina isaaniitiif isaanitti fiduuf yaadaa ture sana nan hambisa.
4 Tell them that this is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have given you,
Atis akkana jedhiin; Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Yoo isin na dhagaʼuu diddanii, seera koo kan ani fuula keessan dura kaaʼe sana duukaa buʼuu baattan,
5 and if you don't listen to the messages of my servants the prophets—I've sent them to you time and again, but you refused to listen—
amma illee yoo isin dubbii tajaajiltoota koo raajota ani utuma isin dhagaʼuu diddanuu ammumaa amma isinitti erge sanaa illee dhaggeeffachuu baattan,
6 then I will destroy this Temple like I did Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse word used by everyone on earth.
ani mana kana akkuma Shiiloo, magaalaa kana immoo saboota lafaa hunda keessatti waan abaarsaa nan godha.’”
7 The priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah deliver this message in the Lord's Temple.
Luboonni, raajonnii fi sabni hundi Ermiyaasii dubbii kana mana Waaqayyoo keessatti dubbatu dhagaʼan.
8 As soon as he had finished telling everyone all that the Lord had ordered him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people grabbed him, shouting, “You'll die for this!
Garuu akkuma Ermiyaas waan Waaqayyo akka inni dubbatuuf isa ajaje hunda namoota hundatti, himee raawwateen luboonni, raajonnii fi namoonni hundi isa qabanii akkana jedhaniin; “Ati duʼuu qabda!
9 How dare you claim to speak in the Lord's name here in the Temple and declare that it will be destroyed like Shiloh, and that this city will be left empty and abandoned?” Everyone crowded around Jeremiah threatening him in the Lord's Temple.
Ati maaliif akka manni kun akkuma Shiiloo taʼuu fi akka magaalaan kunis onee duwwaa hafu maqaa Waaqayyootiin raajii dubbatta?” Namoonni hundis mana Waaqayyoo keessatti Ermiyaasin marsan.
10 When the leaders of Judah heard what happened they came from the king's palace to the Lord's Temple and sat at the entrance of the New Gate of the Temple to judge the case.
Qondaaltonni Yihuudaa yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti mana Mootii keessaa gara mana Waaqayyootti ol baʼanii balbala karra Haaraa kan mana Waaqayyoo dura tataaʼan.
11 The priests and prophets complained to the leaders and all the people, “This man is deserves the death penalty because he has committed treason by prophesying against this city. You heard it yourselves!”
Kana irratti luboonnii fi raajonni sun qondaaltotaa fi namoota hundaan, “Waan namichi kun magaalaa kana irratti raajii dubbateef duuti isatti muramuu qaba. Isin waan kana gurruma keessaniin dhageessaniirtu!” jedhan.
12 Jeremiah addressed all the leaders and all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to deliver every word of this prophecy against this Temple as you've heard.
Ermiyaas qondaaltota hundaa fi namoota hundaan akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akka ani waan isin dhageessan kana hunda mana kanaa fi magaalaa kana irratti raajii dubbadhuuf na erge.
13 So change your ways and do what's right, and do what Lord your God tells you, so that he won't have to carry out the disaster he has announced he will bring down on you.
Kanaafuu isin amma karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfadhaa; Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif illee ajajamaa. Yoos Waaqayyo gaabbee balaa isinitti fiduuf yaade sana ni dhiisa.
14 As far as I'm concerned, I'm in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right.
Ani garuu harkuma keessan keessa nan jira; isin tarkaanfii gaarii fi qajeelaa isinitti fakkaate narratti fudhadhaa.
15 But be careful, because you need to be aware that if you kill me, you will make yourselves, this city, and everyone who lives here guilty of murder, because it's true that the Lord sent me to tell you everything he said.”
Garuu isin yoo na ajjeeftan akka dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnee dhangalaasuu keessaniin ofitti, magaalaa kanattii fi warra ishee keessa jiraatanitti balaa fiddan beekkadhaa; Waaqayyo dhugumaan akka ani dubbii isin dhageessan kana hunda dubbadhuuf isinitti na ergeeraatii.”
16 Then the leaders and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man doesn't deserve the death penalty because he was speaking on behalf of the Lord our God.”
Kana irratti qondaaltonnii fi namoonni hundi, lubootaa fi raajotaan, “Namicha kanatti duuti muramuu hin qabu! Inni maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatiin nutti dubbatee jiraa” jedhan.
17 Some of the country's elders stood up and addressed everyone gathered there.
Maanguddoota biyyaa keessaas tokko tokko kaʼanii waldaa sabaa guutuudhaan akkana jedhan;
18 “Micah of Moresheth prophesied during the reign of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah that this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Zion will become like a plowed field; Jerusalem will end up a pile of rubble; and the Temple mount will be overgrown with trees.’
“Bara Hisqiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa Miikiyaas namni biyya Mooresheet akkana jedhee saba Yihuudaa hundatti raajii dubbate; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “‘Xiyoon akkuma lafa qotiisaatti qotamti; Yerusaalemis tuullaa waan diigamee taati; gaarri mana qulqullummaas tabba daggalaan liqimfame taʼa.’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in the country have him killed? Didn't Hezekiah respect the Lord and plead with him? Didn't the Lord change his mind about the disaster he had announced against them? But we are about to bring a great disaster on ourselves!”
“Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa yookaan saba Yihuudaa keessaa namni tokko iyyuu isa ajjeeseeraa? Hisqiyaas Waaqayyoon sodaatee araara isaa hin kadhannee? Waaqayyos gaabbee badiisa isaanitti fiduu yaade sana hin dhiifnee? Nus badiisa hamaa ofitti fiduu geenyeerra!”
20 At around that time there was another man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Uriah, son of Shemaiah, from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against Jerusalem and against the country just as Jeremiah did.
Namni maqaa Waaqayyootiin raajii dubbate kan biraa immoo Uuriyaa ilma Shemaaʼiyaa nama biyya Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim ture; innis akkuma Ermiyaas magaalaa kanaa fi biyya kana irratti raajii dubbate.
21 King Jehoiakim and all his military officers and officials heard what he was saying, and the king wanted to have him executed. But when Uriah found out about it, he was frightened and ran away to Egypt.
Yommuu Yehooyaaqiim mootichi, ajajjoonnii fi qondaaltonni isaa hundi dubbii Uuriyaa dhagaʼanitti mootichi isa ajjeesisuu barbaade; Uuriyaan garuu waan kana dhageenyaan sodaatee gara Gibxitti baqate.
22 But King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan, son of Achbor, along with some others.
Yehooyaaqiim mootichi garuu Elnaataan ilma Akboor namoota biraa wajjin gara Gibxitti erge.
23 They brought Uriah back from Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim. The king killed him with a sword and had his body thrown into the public graveyard.
Isaanis Uuriyaa Gibxii fidanii Yehooyaaqiim mootichatti kennan; mootichis goraadeedhaan isa ajjeese; reeffa isaa immoo iddoo namoonni ulfina hin qabne itti awwaalamanitti gate.
24 However, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, took Jeremiah's side so he was not handed over to the people to be killed.
Ahiiqaam ilmi Shaafaan garuu Ermiyaasin deeggare; kanaafuu Ermiyaas ajjeefamuuf dabarfamee namootatti hin kennamne.
