Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captaines of the hoste, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Iezaniah the sonne of Hoshaaiah, and all the people from the least vnto the most came,
Ergasii ajajjoonni waraanaa hundi Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaatii fi Yezaaniyaa ilma Hooshaʼiyaa dabalatee, namni hundi, xinnaa guddaan dhufanii
2 And saide vnto Ieremiah the Prophete, Heare our prayer, we beseeche thee, and pray for vs vnto the Lord thy God, euen for all this remnant (for we are left, but a fewe of many, as thine eyes doe beholde)
Ermiyaas raajichaan akkana jedhan; “Maaloo kadhaa keenya dhagaʼiitii hambaa kana hundaaf Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kadhadhu. Nu dur baayʼee turre; amma garuu akkuma ati argitu kana nu nama muraasa qofattu hafe.
3 That the Lord thy God may shewe vs the way wherein wee may walke, and the thing that we may doe.
Akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee gara nu dhaquu qabnuu fi waan nu gochuu qabnu nutti himuuf nuu kadhadhu.”
4 Then Ieremiah the Prophet said vnto them, I haue heard you: behold, I will pray vnto ye Lord your God according to your wordes, and whatsoeuer thing the Lord shall answere you, I will declare it vnto you: I will keepe nothing backe from you.
Ermiyaas raajichis, “Ani isin dhagaʼeera; akkuma isin na gaafattan sana ani dhugumaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan nan kadhadha. Waan Waaqayyo dubbatu hundas isinitti nan hima; waan tokko illees isin hin dhoksu” jedhee deebise.
5 Then they said to Ieremiah, The Lord be a witnesse of trueth, and faith betweene vs, if we doe not, euen according to all things for ye which the Lord thy God shall send thee to vs.
Jarris Ermiyaasiin akkana jedhan; “Yoo nu akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati nutti himtuuf si erge sana gochuu baanne Waaqayyo mataan isaa dhuga baatuu dhugaatii fi amanamaa nutti haa taʼu.
6 Whether it be good or euill, we will obey the voyce of the Lord God, to whom we sende thee that it may be well with vs, when wee obey the voyce of the Lord our God.
Akka yeroo nu dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatiif ajajamnutti wanni hundi nutti toluuf yoo wanni sun jaallatamaa yookaan jibbamaa taʼe illee nu dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa kan itti si erganne sanaatiif ni ajajamna.”
7 And so after ten dayes came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah.
Dubbiin Waaqayyoos guyyaa kudhan booddee gara Ermiyaas dhufe.
8 Then called he Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, which were with him, and all ye people from ye least to the most,
Kanaafuu inni Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoota waraanaa kanneen isa wajjin turan hunda, akkasumas nama xinnaa guddaa hunda walitti waame.
9 And saide vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, vnto whom ye sent me to present your prayers before him,
Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni isin akka ani iyyata keessan itti isinii dhiʼeessuuf itti na ergitan sun akkana jedha:
10 If ye will dwell in this land, then I wil build you, and not destroy you, and I will plant you, and not roote you out: for I repent me of the euill that I haue done vnto you.
‘Yoo biyya kana keessa turtan, ani isinan ijaara malee isin hin diigu; ani isinan dhaaba malee isin hin buqqisu; ani badiisa isinitti fide sanaaf gaabbeeraatii.
11 Feare not for the King of Babel, of whom ye are afraide: be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you from his hand,
Mootii Baabilon isa amma sodaattan kana hin sodaatinaa. Ani isin baraaree harka isaatii isin baasuuf isin wajjin jiraatii. Isa hin sodaatinaa, jedha Waaqayyo.
12 And I will graunt you mercie that he may haue compassion vpon you, and he shall cause you to dwell in your owne land.
Ani akka inni garaa isinii laafee biyya keessanitti isin deebisuuf garaa isiniif nan laafa.’
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither heare the voyce of the Lord your God,
“Garuu yoo isin, ‘Nu biyya kana keessa hin turru’ jettanii akkasiin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif ajajamuu diddan,
14 Saying, Nay, but we will goe into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no warre, nor heare the sounde of the trumpet, nor haue hunger of bread, and there will we dwell,
amma illee yoo isin, ‘Hin taʼu, nu biyya Gibxi keessa iddoo itti waraana hin argine yookaan malakata hin dhageenye yookaan iddoo itti hin beelofne sana dhaqnee achi jiraanna’ jettan,
15 (And nowe therefore heare the worde of the Lord, ye remnant of Iudah: thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and goe to dwell there)
egaa yaa hambaa Yihuudaa, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa. Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Yoo isin biyya Gibxitti galuu barbaaddanii achi jiraachuu dhaqxan,
16 Then the sworde that ye feared, shall take you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, for the which ye care, shall there hang vpon you in Egypt, and there shall ye die.
goraadeen isin sodaattan sun achumatti isin argata; beelli isin sodaattanis hamma Gibxitti isin faana buʼa; isinis achitti dhumtu.
17 And all the men that set their faces to enter into Egypt to dwell there, shall die by ye sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, and none of them shall remaine nor escape from the plague, that I will bring vpon them.
Dhugumaan warri biyya Gibxitti galanii achi qubachuu barbaadan hundi goraadeen, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan dhumu; isaan keessaa namni badiisa ani isaanitti fidu jalaa baʼu yookaan miliqu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.’
18 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, As mine anger and my wrath hath bene powred foorth vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shall my wrath be powred foorth vpon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt, and ye shall be a detestation, and an astonishment, and a curse and a reproche, and ye shall see this place no more.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Akkuma aariin koo fi dheekkamsi koo warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan irratti dhangalaʼe sana, yoo isin biyya Gibxitti galtan dheekkamsi koo isin irratti ni dhangalaʼa. Isinis waan abaarsaa, waan sodaa, waan yakkaatii fi waan fafaa ni taatu; iddoo kana illee gonkumaa deebitanii hin argitan.’
19 O ye remnant of Iudah, the Lord hath said concerning you, Goe not into Egypt: knowe certeinely that I haue admonished you this day.
“Yaa hambaa Yihuudaa Waaqayyo, ‘Biyya Gibxi hin dhaqinaa’ isiniin jedheera. Waan kana qalbeeffadhaa: Ani harʼa isin akeekkachiisaatii;
20 Surely ye dissembled in your hearts When ye sent me vnto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for vs vnto the Lord our God, and declare vnto vs euen according vnto al that the Lord our God shall say, and we will doe it.
Isin gaafa ‘Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya nuu kadhadhu; waan inni dubbate hundas nutti himi; nus ni ajajamnaaf’ jettanii gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii na ergitan sana balleessaa guddaa hojjettan.
21 Therefore I haue this day declared it you, but you haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me vnto you.
Ani harʼa isinitti himeera; isin garuu waan inni akka ani isinitti himuuf na erge sana hundaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif hin ajajamne.
22 Nowe therefore, knowe certeinely that ye shall die by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to goe and dwell.
Kanaafuu isin amma waan kana qalbeeffadhaa: Isin iddoo jiraachuu dhaquu feetan sana keessatti goraadeen, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan ni dhumtu.”
