< Jeremiah 50 >

1 The word that YHWH spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
Dubbiin Waaqayyo karaa Ermiyaas raajichaatiin waaʼee Baabilonii fi waaʼee biyya Baabilonotaa dubbate kanaa dha:
2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
“Saboota gidduutti lallabaatii labsaa; faajjii ol qabaatii labsaa; utuu homaa hin hambisin akkana jedhaa; ‘Baabilon ni qabamti; Beel ni salphifama; Meroodak gooliidhaan guutama. Fakkiiwwan Baabilon ni salphifamu; waaqonni ishee tolfamoonis sodaan guutamu.’
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
Sabni Kaabaa dhufu tokko ishee lolee lafa ishee duwwaa hambisa. Namni tokko iyyuu ishee keessa hin jiraatu; namaa fi horiin baqatee keessaa baʼa.
4 In those days, and in that time, saith YHWH, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek YHWH their Elohim.
“Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, sabni Israaʼelii fi sabni Yihuudaa imimmaaniin Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii barbaacha tokkummaadhaan ni dhufu” jedha Waaqayyo;
5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to YHWH in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
“Isaan karaa gara Xiyoon geessu ni gaafatu; fuula isaaniis garasitti garagalfatu. Isaan dhufanii kakuu bara baraa kan gonkumaa hin irraanfatamneen Waaqayyotti of maxxansu.
6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
“Sabni koo hoolota badan taʼaniiru; tikseen isaanii isaan dogoggorsee akka isaan tulluuwwan irra jooran godhe. Isaan tulluu fi gaara irra jooranii lafa boqonnaa isaanii illee wallaalan.
7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against YHWH, the habitation of justice, even YHWH, the hope of their fathers.
Kan isaan argu hundi isaan liqimse; diinonni isaaniis, ‘Nu balleessaa hin qabnu; isaan Waaqayyo iddoo jireenya isaanii kan dhugaa taʼe, Waaqayyo abdii abbootii isaaniitti cubbuu hojjetaniiruutii’ jedhan.
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
“Baabilonii baqadhaa baʼaa; biyya Baabilonotaa keessaa baʼaa; akkuma korbeessa reʼee kan bushaayee qajeelchuu taʼaa.
9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
Ani biyya kaabaatii garee saboota gurguddaa kaasee Baabilonitti nan ergaatii. Isaanis hiriiranii isheetti dhufu; isheenis karaa kaabaatiin ni qabamti. Xiyyi isaanii akkuma loltoota ogeeyyii harka duwwaa hin deebinee ti.
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith YHWH.
Baabilonis ni saamamti; warri ishee saaman hundis ni quufu” jedha Waaqayyo.
11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
“Isin warri handhuuraa koo saamtan waan gammaddanii fi ililchitaniif, akkuma raadaa marga keessaa burraaqxanii akka korma fardaa imimsitan illee,
12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
haati keessan akka malee qaanofti; kan isin deesses ni salphatti. Isheen saboota hunda keessaa gad aantuu, lafa onaa, lafa gogaa fi gammoojjii taati.
13 Because of the wrath of YHWH it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Isheen sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiif guutumaan guutuutti ni onti malee namni ishee keessa hin jiraatu. Sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif namni Baabilon keessa darbu hundi ni dinqisiifata; itti qoosas.
14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against YHWH.
“Isin warri iddaa luqqifattan hundinuu, naannoo Baabilonitti hiriiraa. Sababii isheen Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjetteef, xiyyawwan itti darbadhaa! Homaa hin hambisinaa.
15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of YHWH: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
Karaa hundaan isheetti iyyaa! Isheen harka kennatti; gamoon ishee ni jiga; dallaan ishee diigameera. Kun haaloo Waaqayyoo waan taʼeef isheetti haaloo baʼaa; waanuma isheen warra kaanitti hojjette isheetti hojjedhaa.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
Nama sanyii facaasuu fi kan yeroo midhaan haamamutti haamtuu qabatus Baabilon keessaa balleessaa. Sababii goraadee cunqursaatiin tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara saba ofii isaatti haa deebiʼu; tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara biyya ofii isaattis haa baqatu.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
“Israaʼel hoolaa bittinnaaʼee dha; leenconni isa ariʼan. Kan jalqabatti isa nyaate mootii Asoor; kan dhuma irratti lafee isaa caccabse immoo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon ture.”
18 Therefore thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani akkuma mootii Asoor adabe sana mootii Baabilonii fi biyya isaa nan adaba.
19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
Israaʼelin garuu lafa tika isaatti nan deebisa; innis Qarmeloosii fi Baashaan irra ni dheeda; tulluu Efreemii fi Giliʼaad irra dheedee ni quufa.
20 In those days, and in that time, saith YHWH, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, yakki Israaʼel ni barbaadama” jedha Waaqayyo; “garuu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; cubbuun Yihuudaas ni barbaadama; garuu tokko iyyuu hin argamu; ani hambaan baraare sanaaf dhiifama nan godhaatii.
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith YHWH, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
“Biyya Meraataayimii fi jiraattota Pheqood lolaa. Ariʼaa, ajjeesaa, guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessaa,” jedha Waaqayyo. “Waan ani isin ajaje hunda godhaa.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
Sagaleen waraanaa, sagaleen badiisa guddaas biyya sana keessa jira!
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
Burruusni guutummaa lafaa akkamitti cabe! Akkamittis bullaaʼe! Baabilon saboota gidduutti, akkam onte!
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against YHWH.
Yaa Baabilon, ani kiyyoo siif diriirseera; atis utuu hin beekin qabamte; ati sababii Waaqayyoon mormiteef, argamtee qabamte.
25 YHWH hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Master YHWH of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
Waaqayyo mankuusaa miʼa lolaa isaa banee miʼa lola dheekkamsa isaa gad baafateera; Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waan biyya Baabilonotaatti hojjetu qabaatii.
26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
Biyya fagootii isheetti kottaa. Gombisaawwan ishee diigaa; akkuma tuullaa midhaaniitti ishee tuulaa. Guutumaan guutuutti ishee balleessaa; waan tokko illee isheef hin hambisinaa.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
Korommii ishee hunda qalaa; isaan gara qalmaatti haa geeffaman! Isaaniif wayyoo! Yeroon isaan itti adabaman, guyyaan isaanii dhufeeraatii.
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of YHWH our Elohim, the vengeance of his temple.
Akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya haaloo baʼe, akka inni mana qulqullummaa isaatiif haaloo baʼe, kooluu galtootaa fi baqattoota Baabilonii dhufanii Xiyoon keessatti lallaban irraa dhagaʼaa.
29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against YHWH, against the Holy One of Israel.
“Namoota Xiyyaan lolan kanneen iddaa luqqifatan hunda Baabilonitti waamaa. Naannoo ishee hunda marsaa; namni tokko iyyuu hin miliqin. Gatii hojii ishee kennaafii; waanuma isheen warra kaanitti hojjette isheettis hojjedhaa. Isheen Qulqullicha Israaʼel, Waaqayyotti koorteertii.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith YHWH.
Kanaafuu dargaggoonni ishee karaa irratti dhumu; gaafas loltoonni ishee hundi ni barbadaaʼu” jedha Waaqayyo.
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Master YHWH of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
“Yaa koortuu nana, kunoo ani sitti kaʼeera” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda dandaʼu; “yeroon ati itti adabamtu, guyyaan kee dhufeeraatii.
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
Koortuun sun gufattee lafa dhoofti; namni gargaaree ol ishee qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ani magaalaawwan ishee keessatti ibidda warra naannoo ishee jiru hunda gubee fixu nan qabsiisa.”
33 Thus saith YHWH of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni Israaʼel cunqurfameera; sabni Yihuudaas akkasuma cunqurfameera. Warri isaan boojiʼan hundi jabeessanii isaan qabataniiru; isaan gad dhiisuus didaniiru.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; YHWH of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Taʼu illee Furaan isaanii jabaa dha; maqaan isaas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha. Inni biyya isaaniitiif boqonnaa kenne; warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan garuu boqonnaa dhowwuuf dhimma isaaniitiif jabeessee ni falma.
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith YHWH, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
“Goraadeen tokko Baabilonotatti dhufe!” jedha Waaqayyo; “warra Baabilon keessa jiraatanitti, qondaaltotaa fi namoota ishee ogeeyyiitti dhufeera!
36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
Goraadeen raajota ishee sobdootatti, dhufeera! Isaan gowwoota taʼu. Goraadeen gootota isheetti dhufeera! Isaanis sodaadhaan guutamu.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
Goraadeen fardeenii fi gaariiwwan isheetti, Namoota Ormaa kanneen gidduu ishee jiraatan hundatti dhufe! Isaan dadhaboo taʼu. Goraadeen qabeenya isheetti dhufe! Isaan ni saamamu.
38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.
Caamsaan bishaan isheetti ni dhufa! Isaanis ni gogu. Isheen biyya waaqota tolfamoo, kan waaqota tolfamoo sodaadhaan maraataniitii.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
“Kanaafuu uumamawwan gammoojjiitii fi waraabeyyiin achi jiraatu; urunguunis achi jiraatti. Lammata namni ishee keessa hin jiraatu; yookaan dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti namni keessa jiraatu hin jiru.
40 As Elohim overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith YHWH; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
Akkuma Waaqni Sodoomii fi Gomoraa, magaalaawwan naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin balleesse sana” jedha Waaqayyo; “namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu; sanyiin namaa tokkos ishee keessa hin qubatu.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
“Kunoo! Gareen loltootaa tokko kaaba irraa dhufaa jira; sabni guddaan tokkoo fi mootonni baayʼeen moggaa lafaatii sosochoʼaa jiru.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
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 Baabilon, isaan akkuma namoota duulaaf hiriiraniitti si loluuf dhufu.
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
Mootiin Baabilon oduu waaʼee isaanii dhagaʼe; harki isaas irratti duʼe. Dhiphinni isa qabateera; miixuunis akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu isa qabeera.
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
Ani akkuma leenca bosona Yordaanosii baʼee gara lafa dheedaa gabbataa dhufu tokkoo dafee Baabilonin biyya isheetii nan ariʼa. Filatamaan ani waan kanaaf muudu eenyu? Kan akka koo eenyu? Eenyutus naan morkuu dandaʼa? Tiksee akkamiitu fuula koo dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa?”
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of YHWH, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
Kanaafuu waan Waaqayyo Baabilonitti karoorfate, waan inni biyya Baabilonotaatti yaades dhagaʼaa; Ilmaan bushaayee harkifamanii ni fudhatamu; innis sababii isaaniitiif lafa dheeda isaanii guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeessa.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
Waca qabamuu Baabiloniitiin lafti ni raafamti; iyyi ishees saboota gidduutti ni dhagaʼama.
