< Jeremiah 12 >

1 O Lord, if I dispute with thee, thou art righteous: yet let mee talke with thee of thy iudgements: wherefore doeth the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they in wealth that rebelliously transgresse?
Yaa Waaqayyo yommuu ani iyyata koo fuula kee duratti dhiʼeeffadhutti ati yeroo hunda qajeelaa dha. Taʼu iyyuu ani waaʼee qajeelummaa keetii nan dubbadha; karaan jalʼootaa maaliif milkaaʼa? Warri hin amanamne hundi maaliif nagaan jiraatu?
2 Thou hast planted them, and they haue taken roote: they grow, and bring forth fruite: thou art neere in their mouth, and farre from their reines.
Ati isaan dhaabde; isaanis hidda gad fageeffataniiru; ni guddatu; ijas ni naqatu. Ati yeroo hunda afaan isaaniitii hin buutu; garaa isaanii irraa garuu fagoo jirta.
3 But thou, Lord, knowest me: thou hast seene me, and tried mine heart towarde thee: pull them out like sheepe for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo ati na beekta; na ilaaltees yaada ani siif qabu ni qorta. Akka hoolaa qalamuuf deemuutti harkisii isaan geessi! Guyyaa qalmaatiifis kophaatti isaan baasi!
4 Howe long shall the lande mourne, and the herbes of euery fielde wither, for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein? the beastes are consumed and the birdes, because they sayd, He wil not see our last ende.
Biyyattiin hamma yoomiitti boossee margi dirree hundis goga? Sababii hammina warra biyyattii keessa jiraataniitii fi sababii namoonni, “Inni waan nurra gaʼaa jiru hin argu” jedhaniif horii fi simbirroonni dhumaniiru.
5 If thou hast runne with the footemen and they haue wearied thee, then howe canst thou match thy selfe with horses? and if thou thoughtest thy selfe safe in a peaceable lande, what wilt thou do in the swelling of Iorden?
“Ati namoota lafoo wajjin fiigdee erga isaan si dadhabsiisanii, fardeen wajjin akkamitti dorgomuu dandeessa ree? Ati biyya nagaa keessatti erga gufatte, bosona Yordaanos keessatti akkam taata ree?
6 For euen thy brethren, and the house of thy father, euen they haue delt vnfaithfully with thee, and they haue cryed out altogether vpon thee: but beleeue them not, though they speake faire to thee.
Obboloonni kee, maatiin abbaa keetii, isaan iyyuu si gananiiru; isaan sagalee ol fudhatanii sitti iyyu. Yoo isaan afaan nagaa sitti dubbatan iyyuu, ati isaan hin amanin.
7 I haue forsaken mine house: I haue left mine heritage: I haue giuen the dearely beloued of my soule into the hands of her enemies.
“Ani mana koo dhiiseera; handhuuraa koos gateera; ani ishee garaan koo jaallatu sana harka diinota isheetti dabarsee kenneera.
8 Mine heritage is vnto mee, as a lion in the forest: it crieth out against mee, therefore haue I hated it.
Handhuuraan koo akkuma leenca bosonaa natti taateerti. Isheen natti aadde; kanaafuu ani ishee jibbeera.
9 Shall mine heritage bee vnto mee, as a bird of diuers colours? are not the birdes about her, saying, Come, assemble all ye beastes of the fielde, come to eate her?
Handhuuraan koo akka allaattii burree kan allaattiiwwan biraa marsanii miidhan tokkoo natti hin taanee? Dhaqaatii bineensota bosonaa hunda walitti qabaa; akka ishee nyaataniifis isaan fidaa.
10 Many pastors haue destroyed my vineyarde, and troden my portion vnder foote: of my pleasant portion they haue made a desolate wildernesse.
Tiksoonni hedduun iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii ni balleessu; qooda koos ni dhidhiitu; qooda natti tolus ni onsu.
11 They haue layde it waste, and it, being waste, mourneth vnto me: and the whole lande lyeth waste, because no man setteth his minde on it.
Isaan isa onsu; inni onee gara kootti iyya; namni dhimma isaa qabus waan hin jirreef lafti guutuun onee hafa.
12 The destroyers are come vpon all the high places in the wildernesse: for the sworde of the Lord shall deuoure from the one end of the land, euen to the other ende of the lande: no flesh shall haue peace.
Lafa ol kaʼaa qullaa gammoojjii keessaa hunda irra balleessitoonni ni raamʼisu; goraadeen Waaqayyoo // moggaa biyyattii tokko irraa hamma moggaa kaaniitti ni fixaatii; namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu.
13 They haue sowen wheate, and reaped thornes: they were sicke, and had no profite: and they were ashamed of your fruites, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.
Isaan qamadii facaasu garuu qoraatii haammatu; ni dhamaʼu garuu homaa hin argatan. Sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo isa cimaa sanaatiif midhaan galfatanitti ni qaanaʼu.”
14 Thus sayeth the Lord against all mine euill neighbours, that touch the inheritance, which I haue caused my people Israel to inherite, Beholde, I will plucke them out of their lande, and plucke out the house of Iudah from among them.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani olloota koo hamoo kanneen handhuuraa ani saba koo Israaʼeliif kenne qabatan hunda biyya isaanii keessaa nan buqqisa; mana Yihuudaas isaan gidduudhaa nan buqqisa.
15 And after that I haue plucked them out, I will returne, and haue compassion on them, and will bring againe euery man to his heritage, and euery man to his land.
Ani ergan isaan buqqisee booddee deebiʼee naʼeefii tokkoo tokkoo isaanii gara handhuuraa isaaniitii fi gara biyya ofii isaaniitti nan deebisa.
16 And if they will learne the wayes of my people, to sweare by my Name, (The Lord liueth, as they taught my people to sweare by Baal) then shall they be built in the middes of my people.
Yoo isaan haala jireenya saba koo akka gaarii baratanii akkuma duraan saba koo Baʼaaliin kakachuu barsiisan sana, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jechuudhaan maqaa kootiin kakatan, isaan saba koo gidduutti ni hundeeffamu.
17 But if they will not obey, then will I vtterly plucke vp, and destroy that nation, sayeth the Lord.
Garuu yoo sabni kam iyyuu naa ajajamuu dide, ani guutumaan guutuutti isa nan buqqisa; nan balleessas” jedha Waaqayyo.
