Jeremiah 6
1 O ye children of Beniamin, prepare to flee out of the middes of Ierusalem, and blowe the trumpet in Tekoa: set vp a standart vpon Beth-haccerem: for a plague appeareth out of the North and great destruction.
“Yaa saba Beniyaam baqadhaa baʼaa! Yerusaalem keessaa baqadhaa! Teqooʼaa keessatti malakata afuufaa! Beet Hakerem irratti mallattoo ol qabaa! Karaa kaabaatiin balaan, badiisni suukaneessaan ni dhufaatii.
2 I haue compared the daughter of Zion to a beautifull and daintie woman.
Ani Intala Xiyoon ishee bareedduu fi qananiituu sana nan galaafadha.
3 The pastors with their flockes shall come vnto her: they shall pitche their tentes rounde about by her, and euery one shall feede in his place.
Tiksoonni bushaayee isaanii fudhatanii isheetti dhufu; dunkaana isaaniis isheetti naannessanii dhaabatu. Tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis iddoo isaaniitti bobbaafatu.”
4 Prepare warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp toward the South: wo vnto vs: for the day declineth, and the shadowes of the euening are stretched out.
“Isheetti waraana kaasuuf qophaaʼaa! Kaʼaa, guyyaa saafaadhaan ishee waraanaa! Wayyoo, aduun dhiʼaa jirti; gaaddisni galgalaas dheerateera.
5 Arise, and let vs goe vp by night, and destroy her palaces.
Kanaafuu kaʼaa, halkaniin ishee dhoofnee daʼannoowwan ishee barbadeessinaa!”
6 For thus hath the Lord of hostes said, Hewe downe wood, and cast a mounte against Ierusalem: this citie must be visited: all oppression is in the middes of it.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; “Mukkeen ishee ciraa; naannoo Yerusaalemitti tuulaa biyyoo tolchaa; magaalaan kun adabamuu qabdi; isheen cunqursaadhaan guutamteertii.
7 As the fountaine casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her malice: crueltie and spoyle is continually heard in her before me with sorowe and strokes.
Akkuma boolli bishaanii bishaan yaasu sana, isheenis hammina ishee gad yaafti; jeequmsii fi badiisni ishee keessatti ni dhagaʼama. Dhukkubnii fi madaan ishee yeroo hunda fuula koo dura jiran.
8 Be thou instructed, O Ierusalem, lest my soule depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate as a land, that none inhabiteth.
Yaa Yerusaalem gorsa koo dhagaʼi; yoo kanaa achii ani sirraa garagalee, akka namni tokko iyyuu keessa jiraachuu hin dandeenyeef, biyya kee nan onsa.”
9 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turne backe thine hande as the grape gatherer into the baskets.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Akkuma wayiniin sirriitti funaanamu sana, isaanis hambaa Israaʼel haa funaanan; akkuma nama ija wayinii ciru tokkootti; ammas harka kee gara dameewwaniitti hiixadhu.”
10 Vnto whome shall I speake, and admonish that they may heare? beholde, their eares are vncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: beholde, the worde of the Lord is vnto them as a reproche: they haue no delite in it.
Ani eenyuttin dubbadhee akeekkachiisuu dandaʼa? Eenyutu na dhaggeeffata? Kunoo, gurri isaanii dhagna hin qabanne; dhagaʼuus hin dandaʼan. Dubbiin Waaqayyoo isaanitti hin tolu; ittis hin gammadan.
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: I will powre it out vpon the children in the streete, and likewise vpon the assembly of the yong men: for the husband shall euen be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of daies.
Ani garuu dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiin guutameera; obsuus hin dandaʼu. “Ijoollee daandii irra jiran irratti, dargaggoota walitti qabaman irratti, dhirsaa fi niitii irratti, warra dulloomanittis dheekkamsa nan dhangalaasa.
12 And their houses with their landes, and wiues also shalbe turned vnto strangers: for I will stretch out mine hande vpon the inhabitants of the land, sayeth the Lord.
Yeroo ani harka koo warra biyyattii keessa jiraatanitti ol fudhadhutti manneen isaanii, lafa qotiisaa isaaniitii fi niitota isaanii wajjin namoota kaaniif kennamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
13 For from the least of them, euen vnto the greatest of them, euery one is giuen vnto couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, they all deale falsely.
“Xinnaadhaa hamma guddaatti hundi isaanii iyyuu buʼaa argachuuf gaggabu; raajonnii fi luboonnis akkasuma hundi isaanii nama gowwoomsu.
14 They haue healed also ye hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
Isaan madaa saba kootii akkuma waan xinnaa tokkootti ilaalanii walʼaanu. Utuu nagaan hin jiraatinis ‘Nagaa, nagaa’ jedhu.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore they shall fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayth 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 ani isaan adabutti gad gatamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
16 Thus sayeth the Lord, Stande in the waies and beholde, and aske for the olde way, which is the good way and walke therein, and yee shall finde rest for your soules: but they saide, We will not walke therein.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Karaa qaxxaamuraa irra dhaabadhaatii ilaalaa; daandii durii iyyaafadhaa; karaan gaariin garam akka jiru gaafadhaatii irra deemaa; lubbuu keessaniif boqonnaa ni argattuutii. Isin garuu, ‘Nu isa irra hin deemnu’ jettan.
17 Also I set watchmen ouer you, which said, Take heede to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heede.
Ani eegdota isinitti ramadeen ‘Sagalee malakataa dhaggeeffadhaa!’ jedhe, isin garuu, ‘Hin dhaggeeffannu’ jettan.
18 Heare therefore, yee Gentiles, and thou Congregation knowe, what is among them.
Kanaafuu yaa saboota dhagaʼaa; yaa waldaa, waan isaanitti dhufuuf jiru hubadhaa.
19 Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a plague to come vpon this people, euen the fruite of their owne imaginations: because they haue not taken heede vnto my woordes, nor to my Lawe, but cast it off.
Yaa lafaa dhagaʼi: Ani waan isaan dubbii koo dhagaʼuu didanii seera koos tuffataniif, saba kanatti badiisa nan fida; kunis ija daba isaanii ti.
20 To what purpose bringest thou mee incense from Sheba, and sweete calamus from a farre countrey? Your burnt offerings are not pleasant, nor your sacrifices sweete vnto me.
Ixaanni biyya Shebaatii dhufu, yookaan qayyii biyya fagootii dhufu maal na fayyada? Aarsaan keessan kan gubamu fudhatama hin qabu; qalmi keessanis hin tolu.”
21 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, I will laie stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sonnes together shall fall vpon them: the neighbour and his friende shall perish.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani fuula saba kanaa dura gufuu nan kaaʼa. Abbootiinii fi ijoolleen walii wajjin itti gufatu; olloonnii fi michoonni ni barbadaaʼu.”
22 Thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, a people commeth from the North countrey, and a great nation shall arise from the sides of the earth.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Kunoo, gareen loltootaa tokko biyya kaabaatii dhufaa jira; sabni guddaan tokkos andaara lafaatii sosochoʼaa jira.
23 With bowe and shield shall they be weaponed: they are cruell and will haue no compassion: their voyce roareth like the sea, and they ride vpon horses, well appointed, like men of warre against thee, O daughter Zion.
Isaan xiyyaa fi eeboo qabataniiru; isaan gara jabeeyyii, namaafis naasuu hin qabnee dha. Yommuu isaan fardeen isaanii gulufanitti gigigsuun isaanii akkuma huursaa galaanaa ti; yaa Intala Xiyoon, isaan akkuma namoota duulaaf hiriiraniitti si loluuf dhufu.”
24 We haue heard their fame, and our handes waxe feeble sorrowe is come vpon vs, as the sorrowe of a woman in trauaile.
Nu oduu waaʼee isaanii dhageenyeerra; harki keenyas ni laafe. Dhiphinni nu qabateera; miixuunis akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu nu qabe.
25 Goe not foorth into the fielde, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side.
Sababii diinni goraadee qabatee fi sababii iddoo hunda gooliin jiruuf isin diidatti gad hin baʼinaa; yookaan karaa irra hin deemnaa.
26 O daughter of my people, girde thee with sackecloth, and wallowe thy selfe in the ashes: make lamentation, and bitter mourning as for thine onely sonne: for the destroier shall suddenly come vpon vs.
Yaa saba ko, uffata gaddaa uffadhaatii daaraa keessa gangaladhaa; akka nama ilma isaa tokkicha dhabeetti hiqqifadhaa booʼaa; inni nama balleessu sun akkuma tasaa nutti dhufaatii.
27 I haue set thee for a defence and fortresse among my people, that thou maiest knowe and trie their waies.
“Akka ati karaa isaanii qortee beektuuf ani saba koo gidduutti qorataa si godheera.
28 They are all rebellious traitours, walking craftily: they are brasse, and yron, they all are destroyers.
Hundi isaanii finciltoota mata jabeeyyii maqaa namaa balleessuuf asii fi achi jooranii dha. Isaan naasii fi sibiila; isaan hundinuu malaa maltummaa hojjetu.
29 The bellowes are burnt: the lead is consumed in the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not taken away.
Buufaan dilaalii ibiddaan gubee balleessuuf humna guddaan buufa; hojiin ibiddaan qulqulleessuu kun faayidaa malee hojjetama; namoonni hamoon hin balleeffamneetii.
30 They shall call them reprobate siluer, because the Lord hath reiected them.
Sababii Waaqayyo isaan gateef isaan meetii gatamaa jedhamu.”
