Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word, O house of Israel, That YHWH has spoken for you.
Yaa mana Israaʼel, waan Waaqayyo isiniin jedhu dhagaʼaa.
2 Thus said YHWH: “Do not accustom yourselves to the way of the nations, And do not be frightened by the signs of the heavens, For the nations are frightened by them.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Isin karaa saboota ormaa hin baratinaa; saboonni ormaa isaan sodaatan iyyuu isin mallattoowwan samii hin sodaatinaa.
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For one has cut a tree from a forest, Work of the hands of a craftsman, with an axe,
Barteen uummattootaa faayidaa hin qabu; isaan bosona keessaa muka muru; ogeessi hojii harkaa immoo qottoodhaan bifa itti baasa.
4 They beautify it with silver and with gold, They fix it with nails and with hammers, And it does not stumble.
Isaanis meetii fi warqeedhaan miidhagsu; akka inni hin sochooneef burruusaa fi mismaaraan walitti qabsiisu.
5 They [are] stiff as a palm, and they do not speak, They are surely carried, for they do not step, Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, Indeed, to do good is also not in them.”
Waaqonni isaanii tolfamoon akkuma fakkeettii ittiin waa sodaachisan kan lafa qotiisaa buqqee keessaa sana dubbachuu hin dandaʼan; isaan waan deemuu hin dandeenyeef baatamuu qabu. Sababii isaan nama miidhuu yookaan waan gaarii tokko iyyuu hojjechuu hin dandeenyeef isaan hin sodaatinaa.”
6 Because there is none like You, O YHWH, You [are] great, and Your Name [is] great in might.
Yaa Waaqayyo kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ati guddaa dha; maqaan kees humna guddaa qaba.
7 Who does not fear You, King of the nations? For it is befitting to You, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom, there is none like You.
Yaa mootii sabootaa eenyutu si hin sodaanne? Kun siif ni malaatii. Ogeeyyii sabootaa hunda keessaa, mootummoota isaanii hunda keessaas kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
8 And as one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
Isaan hundinuu qalbii hin qaban; gowwootas; isaan waaqota tolfamoo mukkeenii kanneen faayidaa hin qabneen qajeelfamu.
9 Spread-out silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artisan, and of the hands of a refiner, Their clothing [is] blue and purple, Work of the skillful—all of them.
Meetiin tumame Tarshiishii, warqeen immoo Uufaazii fidama. Wanni ogeessi hojii mukaatii fi tumtuun warqee hojjetan, wanni hojjettoota ogummaa qabaniin hojjetaman hundi halluu cuquliisaa fi diimaa dhiilgee uffifamaniiru.
10 And YHWH [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a perpetual King, The earth shakes from His wrath, And nations do not endure His indignation.
Waaqayyo garuu Waaqa dhugaa ti; inni Waaqa jiraataa, Mootii bara baraa ti. Yeroo inni dheekkamutti lafti ni hollatti; saboonnis dheekkamsa isaa dura dhaabachuu hin dandaʼan.
11 Thus you say to them, “The gods who have not made the heavens and earth, They perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.”
“Isin waan kana isaanitti himaa; ‘Waaqonni samii fi lafa hin uumin kunneen lafa irraa fi samii jalaa ni barbadaaʼu.’”
12 The Maker of the earth by His power, The Establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens—
Waaqni garuu humna isaatiin lafa uume; ogummaa isaatiin addunyaa hundeesse; hubannaa isaatiinis samiiwwan diriirse.
13 When He gives forth His voice, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And brings out wind from His treasures.
Yommuu inni qaqawweessaʼutti bishaanonni samii ni huursu; inni akka duumessoonni daarii lafaatii ol kaʼan ni godha. Inni bokkaa wajjin balaqqee ni erga; mankuusaalee isaa keessaa immoo bubbee ni fida.
14 Every man is brutish by knowledge, Every refiner is put to shame by a carved image, For his molten image [is] false. And there is no breath in them.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa gowwaa fi kan beekumsa hin qabnee dha; tokkoon tokkoon tumtuu warqee waaqota tolfamoo isaatiin qaaneffama. Fakkiiwwan inni tolchu kan sobaa ti; isaan hafuura baafatan of keessaa hin qaban.
15 They [are] vanity, work of erring ones, They perish in the time of their inspection.
Isaan faayidaa hin qaban; meeshaa qoosaa ti. Yeroo adabbiin isaanii gaʼutti ni badu.
16 The Portion of Jacob [is] not like these, For He [is] the Framer of all things, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Inni Qooda Yaaqoob taʼe sun garuu akka warra kanaa miti; inni Uumaa waan hundumaa ti, Israaʼel immoo gosa dhaala isaa ti; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
17 Gather your merchandise from the land, O dweller in the bulwark,
Ati kan marfamtee jirtu, biyyattii keessaa baʼuuf qabeenya kee walitti qabadhu.
18 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.”
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; “Kunoo, ani amma warra biyyattii keessa jiraatan furguggisee nan baasa; akka isaan dhiphataniifis rakkina isaanitti nan fida.”
19 Woe to me for my breaking, My striking has been grievous, And I said, “Surely this [is] my sickness, and I bear it.”
Waan ani miidhameef anaaf wayyoo! Madaan koo kan hin fayyinee dha! Taʼus ani ofii kootiin, “Kun dhukkuba koo ti; anis isa obsuun qaba” nan jedhe.
20 My tent has been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out my tent anymore, And raising up my curtains.
Dunkaanni koo diigameera; funyoon isaa hundis cicciteera. Ilmaan koo na dhiisanii sokkaniiru; isaan hin jiran; namni dunkaana naa dhaabu, yookaan golgaa naa hidhu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, And they have not sought YHWH, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
Tiksoonni qalbii hin qaban; Waaqayyonis hin barbaaddatan; kanaafuu isaan hin milkaaʼan; bushaayeen isaanii hundinuus bittinnaaʼaniiru.
22 A voice of a report, behold, it has come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
Kunoo, oduun, raafamni guddaan tokko biyya kaabaatii dhufaa jira! Innis magaalaawwan Yihuudaa onsee iddoo waangoonni jiraatan godha.
23 I have known, O YHWH, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man [is] the going and establishing of his step.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani akka jireenyi namaa kan mataa isaa hin taʼin nan beeka; namni adeemsa isaa ofumaan qajeelfachuu dandaʼu hin jiru.
24 Discipline me, O YHWH, only in judgment, Not in Your anger, lest You make me small.
Yaa Waaqayyo dheekkamsa keetiin utuu hin taʼin, murtii qajeelaadhaan na sirreessi; yoo kanaa achii ati na balleessitaatii.
25 Pour out Your fury on the nations that have not known You, And on the families that have not called on Your Name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Indeed, they have eaten him up, indeed, they consume him, And they have made his habitation desolate!
Saboota si hin beeknetti uummata maqaa kee hin waammannetti dheekkamsa kee dhangalaasi. Isaan Yaaqoobin nyaataniiruutii; guutumaan guutuuttis isa nyaatanii; iddoo jireenya isaa illee barbadeessaniiru.
