Jeremiah 18
1 The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha:
2 Arise, and go downe into the potters house, and there shall I shewe thee my words.
“Kaʼiitii gara mana namicha suphee dhaʼu sanaa dhaqi. Anis achitti dubbii koo sitti nan hima.”
3 Then I went downe to the potters house, and behold, he wrought a worke on the wheeles.
Kanaafuu ani gara mana namicha suphee dhaʼu sanaatti gad nan buʼe; innis geengoo irratti waa hojjechaa ture.
4 And the vessell that he made of clay, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Okkoteen inni suphee irraa hojjechaa ture sun garuu harka isaatti fashalaaʼe; kanaafuu namichi suphee dhaʼu sun akkuma itti toletti suphee sanaan okkotee kan biraa hojjete.
5 Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
6 O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, sayth the Lord? beholde, as the clay is in the potters hande, so are you in mine hande, O house of Israel.
“Yaa mana Israaʼel, anis akkuma suphee dhooftuun kun hojjetu isin gochuu hin dandaʼuu?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Yaa mana Israaʼel, akkuma supheen harka suphee dhooftuu keessa jiru isinis harka koo keessa jirtu.
7 I will speake suddenly against a nation or against a kingdome to plucke it vp, and to roote it out and to destroy it.
Yeroo ani akka sabni yookaan mootummaan tokko buqqifamu, gargar qoodamuu fi barbadeeffamu labsutti,
8 But if this nation, against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their wickednesse, I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vpon them.
yoo sabni ani akeekkachiise sun hammina isaa irraa deebiʼe, ani waan hamaa isatti fiduuf yaade sana irraa nan deebiʼa.
9 And I wil speake suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to builde it and to plant it.
Yoo ani yeroo biraa immoo akka sabni yookaan mootummaan tokko ijaaramee dhaabamu labse,
10 But if it do euill in my sight and heare not my voyce, I will repent of ye good that I thought to do for them.
yoo inni fuula koo duratti waan hamaa hojjetee anaaf ajajamuu dide, ani waan gaarii isaaf gochuu barbaade sana nan dhiisa.
11 Speake thou nowe therefore vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith ye Lord, Behold, I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a thing against you: returne you therefore euery one from his euill way, and make your wayes and your workes good.
“Kanaafuu amma saba Yihuudaatii fi warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraataniin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Kunoo! Ani badiisa isiniif qopheesseen mala isinitti karoorsaa jira. Kanaafuu tokkoon tokkoon keessan karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfadhaa.’
12 But they sayde desperately, Surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations, and doe euery man after the stubburnnesse of his wicked heart.
Isaan garuu akkana jedhanii deebii kennan: ‘Kun faayidaa hin qabu. Nu karooruma keenyaan itti fufna; tokkoon tokkoon keenya mata jabinaa fi hammina garaa keenyaa duukaa buuna.’”
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske now among the heathen, who hath heard such thinges? the virgin of Israel hath done very filthily.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Mee saboota keessa iyyaafadhaa: Eenyutu takkumaa waan akkanaa dhagaʼee beeka? Israaʼel Durbi Qulqullittiin waan suukaneessaa tokko hojjetteerti.
14 Will a man forsake the snowe of Lebanon, which commeth from the rocke of the fielde? or shall the colde flowing waters, that come from another place, be forsaken?
Cabbiin Libaanoon takkumaa ededa kattaa isaa irraa badee beekaa? Bishaan isaa diilallaaʼaan burqaa fagootii dhufu sun takkumaa citee beekaa?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, and haue burnt incense to vanitie, and their prophets haue caused them to stumble in their wayes from the auncient wayes, to walke in the pathes and way that is not troden,
Sabni koo garuu na irraanfateera; isaan waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabne kanneen karaawwan isaanii irrattii fi daandiiwwan durii irratti isaan gufachiisaniif ixaana aarsu. Isaan karaa hin tolfamne irra daandii qalʼoo irra isaan deemsisaniiru.
16 To make their land desolate and a perpetual derision, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and wagge his head,
Biyyi isaanii ni ona; bara baraanis biyya qoosaa taʼa; warri achiin darban hundi ni naʼu; mataa isaaniis ni raasu.
17 I will scatter them with an East winde before the enemie: I will shewe them the backe, and not the face in the day of their destruction.
Akkuma bubbee baʼa biiftuutii dhufuu, ani fuula diinota isaanii duratti isaan nan bittinneessa; bara badiisa isaanii keessa, ani dugda koo malee fuula koo isaanitti hin argisiisu.
18 Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words.
“Jarris, ‘Seerri luba biraa, gorsi ogeeyyii biraa, dubbiin immoo raajota biraa waan hin dhabamneef kottaa Ermiyaasitti mariʼannaa; kanaafuu kottaa nu arraba keenyaan isa miinaa; waan inni dubbatu kam iyyuus hin fudhannu’” jedhan.
19 Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me.
Yaa Waaqayyo, na dhaggeeffadhu; waan warri na himatan jedhanis dhagaʼi!
20 Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.
Gatiin waan gaarii waan hamaadhaa? Isaan garuu boolla anaaf qotaniiru. Ani akkan dheekkamsa kee isaan irraa deebisuuf fuula kee dura dhaabadhee iddoo isaanii buʼee dubbadhe yaadadhu.
21 Therefore, deliuer vp their children to famine, and let them drop away by the force of the sworde, and let their wiues be robbed of their children, and be widowes: and let their husbands be put to death, and let their yong men be slayne by the sword in the battell.
Kanaafuu ati ijoollee isaanii dabarsii beelatti kenni; jara immoo dabarsii humna goraadeetti kenni. Niitota isaanii jalaa ijoollee fi dhirsoonni haa dhuman; dhiironni isaanii haa ajjeefaman; dargaggoonni isaanii immoo lola keessatti goraadeedhaan haa qalaman.
22 Let the crye bee heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring an hoste suddenly vpon them: for they haue digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feete.
Yeroo ati akkuma tasaa weeraartoota isaanitti fiddutti, iyyi mana isaaniitii haa dhagaʼamu; isaan na qabuuf boolla qotanii, miilla kootiifis kiyyoo kaaʼaniiruutii.
23 Yet Lord thou knowest al their counsel against me tendeth to death: forgiue not their iniquitie, neither put out their sinne from thy sight, but let them be ouerthrowen before thee: deale thus with them in the time of thine anger.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu mala isaan na ajjeesuuf malatan hunda ni beekta. Yakka isaanii hin dhiisiniif; yookaan cubbuu isaanii fuula kee duraa hin haqin. Isaan fuula kee duratti lafatti haa gataman; yeroo dheekkamtuttis isaan adabi.
