< Jeremias 16 >

1 And you shall not take a wife, says the Lord God of Israel:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 and there shall be no son born to you, nor daughter in this place.
“Ati iddoo kanatti niitii fuutee ilmaan yookaan intallan hin dhalchin.”
3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that have born them, and concerning their fathers that have begotten them in this land;
Waaqayyo waaʼee ilmaanii fi intallan iddoo kanatti dhalatanii, waaʼee dubartoota haadhota isaanii taʼaniitii fi waaʼee dhiirota abbootii isaanii taʼanii akkana jedhaatii:
4 They shall die of grievous death; they shall not be lamented, nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky: they shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.
“Isaan dhukkuba nama ajjeesuun dhumu. Isaan akkuma kosii lafatti gatamee taʼu malee booʼicha hin argatan; hin awwaalamanis. Isaan goraadee fi beelaan dhumu. Reeffi isaaniis allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata taʼa.”
5 Thus says the Lord, Enter not into their mourning feast, and go not to lament, and mourn not for them: for I have removed my peace from this people.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Ati mana booʼichaa hin seenin yookaan dhaqxee hin booʼin yookaan isaan hin jajjabeessin; ani eebba koo, jaalala kootii fi gara laafina koo saba kana irraa fudhadheeraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
6 They shall not bewail them, nor make cuttings for them, and they shall not shave themselves [for them]:
“Namni xinnaa fi guddaan biyya kana keessatti ni duʼa. Isaan hin awwaalaman yookaan booʼicha hin argatan; namni tokko iyyuu isaaniif jedhee of hin murmuru yookaan mataa hin haaddatu.
7 and there shall be no bread broken in mourning for them for consolation over the dead: they shall not give one to drink a cup for consolation over his father or his mother.
Namni tokko iyyuu warra namni irraa duʼe jajjabeessuuf jedhee nyaata hin geessuuf; yookaan namni tokko iyyuu nama abbaan yookaan haati jalaa duute jajjabeessuuf jedhee dhugaatii hin geessu.
8 You shall not enter into the banquet-house, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
“Mana cidhi jiru hin seenin; nyaachuu fi dhuguuf jettees isaan wajjin hin taaʼin.
9 For thus says the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] make to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii: Ani ija keessan durattii fi bara keessan keessa sagalee ililleetii fi gammachuu, sagalee misirrittiitii fi misirrichaa iddoo kanaa nan balleessa.
10 And it shall come to pass, when you shall report to this people all these words, and they shall say to you, Therefore has the Lord pronounced against us all these evils? what is our unrighteousness? and what is our sin which we have sinned before the Lord our God?
“Yeroo ati waan kana hunda saba kanatti himtee isaan, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif badiisa guddaa akkanaa nurratti labse? Nu maal balleessine? Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyattis cubbuu maalii hojjennee?’ jedhanii si gaafatanitti,
11 Then you shall say to them, Because your fathers forsook me, says the Lord, and went after strange gods and served them, and worshipped them, and forsook me, and kept not my law;
akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Kun sababii abbootiin keessan na dhiisanii waaqota kaan duukaa buʼanii isaan tajaajilanii fi isaan waaqeffataniif’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘isaan na dhiisan; seera koos hin eegne.
12 (and you sinned worse than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the lusts of your own evil heart, so as not to listen to me);
Isin garuu abbootii keessan iyyuu caalaa hammaattaniirtu. Kunoo tokkoon tokkoon keessan qooda anaaf ajajamuu mata jabina hammina garaa keessanii duukaa buutaniirtuutii.
13 therefore I will cast you off from this good land into a land which neither you nor your fathers have known; and you shall serve their other gods, who shall have no mercy upon you.
Kanaafuu ani biyya kana keessaa isin baasee, biyya isin yookaan abbootiin keessan hin beeknetti isin nan gata; isinis achitti halkanii guyyaa waaqota biraa tajaajiltu; ani isiniif hin naʼuutii.’
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
“Taʼus” jedha Waaqayyo, “barri itti namoonni siʼachi, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, isa biyya Gibxii Israaʼeloota baase sanaa’ jedhanii hin kakanne ni dhufa,
15 but, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel from the land of the north, and from all countries whither they were thrust out: and I will restore them to their own land, which I gave to their fathers.
isaan garuu, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa biyya kaabaatii fi biyyoota itti isaan bittinneesse hunda keessaa baasee fide sanaa’ ni jedhu. Ani biyya abbootii isaaniitiif kenne sanatti isaan nan deebisaatii.
16 Behold, I [will] send many fishers, says the Lord, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt them upon every mountain, and upon every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
“Amma immoo ani akka isaan qurxummii qabdoota hedduu fidaniif namoota nan erga” jedha Waaqayyo; “isaanis jara ni qabu. Ergasii ani akka isaan adamsitoota hedduu fidaniif namoota nan erga; isaanis tulluu hundaa fi gaara hunda irra, baqaqaa kattaa hunda keessas jara ni adamsu.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways; and their iniquities have not been hidden from mine eyes.
Iji koo karaa isaanii hunda irra jira; isaanis na duraa hin dhokatan; cubbuun isaaniis ija koo duraa hin dhokfamu.
18 And I will recompense their mischiefs doubly, and their sins, whereby they have profaned my land with the carcases of their abominations, and with their iniquities, whereby they have trespassed against mine inheritance.
Sababii isaan fakkiiwwan isaanii lubbuu dhabeeyyii faayidaa hin qabne sanaan biyya koo xureessanii, waaqota isaanii jibbisiisoo sanaanis handhuuraa koo guutaniif ani gatii hamminaa fi lubbuu isaaniitiif malu harka lama nan baasaaf.”
19 O Lord, you are my strength, and mine help, and my refuge in days of evil: to you the Gentiles shall come from the end of the earth, and shall say, How vain [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured to themselves, and there is no help in them.
Yaa Waaqayyo, jabina kootii fi daʼannoo ko, daʼoo koo kan yeroo rakkinaa, ormoonni handaara lafaatii gara kee dhufanii akkana jedhu, “Abbootiin keenya waaqota sobaa, waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabne kanneen waan gaarii tokko illee isaaniif hin goone sana malee homaa hin dhaalle.
20 Will a man make gods for himself, whereas these are no gods?
Namoonni ofii isaaniitiif waaqota ni tolfatuu? Eeyyee, garuu isaan waaqota miti!”
21 Therefore, behold, I will at this time manifest my hand to them, and will make known to them my power; and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
“Kanaafuu ani isaan nan barsiisa; yeroo kanatti ani humna koo fi jabina koo isaan nan barsiisa. Yoos isaan akka maqaan koo Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
