Jeremias 18
1 The word that came from the Lord to
Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha:
2 Jeremias, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there you shall hear my words.
“Kaʼiitii gara mana namicha suphee dhaʼu sanaa dhaqi. Anis achitti dubbii koo sitti nan hima.”
3 So I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was making a vessel on the stones.
Kanaafuu ani gara mana namicha suphee dhaʼu sanaatti gad nan buʼe; innis geengoo irratti waa hojjechaa ture.
4 And the vessel which he was making with his hands fell: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to him 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
6 Shall I not be able, O house of Israel, to do to you as this potter? behold, as the clay of the potter are you in my hands.
“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 [If] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation, or upon a kingdom, to cut them off, and to destroy [them];
Yeroo ani akka sabni yookaan mootummaan tokko buqqifamu, gargar qoodamuu fi barbadeeffamu labsutti,
8 and that nation turn from all their sins, then will I repent of the evils which I purposed to do to them.
yoo sabni ani akeekkachiise sun hammina isaa irraa deebiʼe, ani waan hamaa isatti fiduuf yaade sana irraa nan deebiʼa.
9 And [if] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation and kingdom, to rebuild and to plant [it];
Yoo ani yeroo biraa immoo akka sabni yookaan mootummaan tokko ijaaramee dhaabamu labse,
10 and they do evil before me, so as not to listen to my voice, then will I repent of the good which I spoke of, to do it to them.
yoo inni fuula koo duratti waan hamaa hojjetee anaaf ajajamuu dide, ani waan gaarii isaaf gochuu barbaade sana nan dhiisa.
11 And now say to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Behold, I prepare evils against you, and devise a device against you: let every one turn now from his evil way, and amend your practices.
“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 And they said, We will quit ourselves like men, for we will pursue our perverse ways, and we will perform each the lusts of his evil 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 says the Lord; Enquire now among the nations, who has heard such very horrible things as the virgin of Israel has done?
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Mee saboota keessa iyyaafadhaa: Eenyutu takkumaa waan akkanaa dhagaʼee beeka? Israaʼel Durbi Qulqullittiin waan suukaneessaa tokko hojjetteerti.
14 Will fertilising streams fail [to flow] from a rock, or snow [fail] from Libanus? will water violently impelled by the wind turn aside?
Cabbiin Libaanoon takkumaa ededa kattaa isaa irraa badee beekaa? Bishaan isaa diilallaaʼaan burqaa fagootii dhufu sun takkumaa citee beekaa?
15 For my people have forgotten me, they have offered incense in vain, and they fail in their ways, [leaving] the ancient tracks, to enter upon impassable paths;
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 a desolation, and a perpetual hissing; all that go through it shall be amazed, and shall shake their heads.
Biyyi isaanii ni ona; bara baraanis biyya qoosaa taʼa; warri achiin darban hundi ni naʼu; mataa isaaniis ni raasu.
17 I will scatter them before their enemies like an east wind; I will show them 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 they said, Come, and let us devise a device against Jeremias; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and we will hear all 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 Hear me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my pleading.
Yaa Waaqayyo, na dhaggeeffadhu; waan warri na himatan jedhanis dhagaʼi!
20 Forasmuch as evil is rewarded for good; for they have spoken words against my soul, and they have hidden the punishment they [meant] for me; remember that I stood before your face, to speak good for them, to turn away your 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 do you deliver their sons to famine, and gather them to the power of the sword: let their women be childless and widows; and let their men be cut off by death, and their young men fall by the sword in war.
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 there be a cry in their houses: you shall bring upon them robbers suddenly: for they have formed a plan to take me, and have hidden snares for me.
Yeroo ati akkuma tasaa weeraartoota isaanitti fiddutti, iyyi mana isaaniitii haa dhagaʼamu; isaan na qabuuf boolla qotanii, miilla kootiifis kiyyoo kaaʼaniiruutii.
23 And you, Lord, know all their deadly counsel against me: account not their iniquities guiltless, and blot not out their sins from before you: let their weakness come before you; deal with them in the time of your wrath.
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.
