Jeremiah 44
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt—who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros—saying,
Dubbiin waaʼee Yihuudoota biyya Gibxi keessa jechuunis Migdool, Tahiphaanhees, Memfiisii fi Phaxroos keessa jiraatan hundaa dubbatu kun akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
2 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: You have seen all the calamity that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah, and behold, they [are] a desolation to this day, and there is none dwelling in them,
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Isin badiisa guddaa ani Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hundatti fide sana argitaniirtu. Kunoo, isaan harʼa onaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu isaan keessa hin jiraatu;
3 because of their wickedness that they have done, by provoking Me to anger, by going to make incense, by serving other gods, that they did not know, they, you, and your fathers.
kunis sababii hammina isaan hojjetaniitiif taʼe. Isaan ixaana aarsuu fi waaqota isaan yookaan isin yookaan abbootiin keessan hin beekin biraa waaqeffachuudhaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasan.
4 And I send to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Please do not do this abomination that I have hated—
Anis, ‘Waan jibbisiisaa ani hin jaallanne kana hin hojjetinaa!’ jedhee tajaajiltoota koo raajota ammumaa amma isaanitti erge.
5 and they have not listened nor inclined their ear to turn back from their wickedness, not to make incense to other gods,
Isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan gurra hin kennineef; isaan hammina isaanii irraa hin deebine yookaan waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuu hin dhiifne.
6 and My fury is poured out, and My anger, and it burns in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a ruin, for a desolation, as [at] this day.
Kanaafuu dheekkamsi koo sodaachisaan sun dhangalaʼee magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti bobaʼe; isaanis akkuma harʼa taʼee jiru kana ni barbadaaʼan; ni onanis.
7 And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are you doing great evil to your own souls, to cut off man and woman, infant and suckling, from you, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave a remnant to you:
“Ammas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Isin maaliif dhiiraa fi dubartii, ijoollee fi daaʼimman Yihuudaa irraa kuttanii badiisa guddaa akkanaa ofitti fiduudhaan hambaa malee of hambiftu?
8 by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by making incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, to where you are going to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all nations of the earth?
Isin maaliif biyya Gibxi, lafa keessa jiraachuuf dhuftanitti waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuudhaan waanuma harki keessan hojjeteen dheekkamsaaf na kakaaftu? Isin ofuma balleessitanii saboota lafa irraa hunda gidduutti waan abaarsaatii fi waan fafaa of gootu.
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Isin hammina abbootiin keessan, mootonni Yihuudaatii fi niitonni isaanii hojjetan, akkasumas hammina isinii fi niitonni keessan biyya Yihuudaattii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti hojjettan sana ni irraanfattanii?
10 They have not been humbled to this day, nor have they been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My statutes, that I have set before you and before your fathers.
Isaan hamma harʼaatti gad of hin qabne yookaan na hin sodaanne yookaan seera kootii fi qajeelfama koo kan ani fuula keessanii fi fuula abbootii keessanii dura kaaʼe sana duukaa hin buune.
11 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am setting My face against you for calamity, even to cut off all Judah,
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani badiisa isinitti fiduu fi Yihuudaa hunda balleessuuf kutadheera.
12 and I have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by sword [and] are consumed by famine, from the least even to the greatest, they die by sword and by famine, and they have been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach.
Ani hambaa Yihuudaa kanneen biyya Gibxi dhaqanii achi jiraachuu murteeffatan nan balleessa. Isaan hundi Gibxitti dhumu; isaan goraadeedhaan kukkufu yookaan beelaan dhumu. Xinnaa guddaan isaanii goraadeedhaan yookaan beelaan duʼa. Isaan waan abaarsaatii fi waan sodaa, waan yakkaatii fi waan fafaa taʼu.
13 And I have seen after those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and with pestilence,
Ani akkuma Yerusaalemin adabe sana warra Gibxi keessa jiraatan illee goraadeedhaan, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan nan adaba.
14 and there is not an escaped and remaining one of the remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, to where they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do not turn back, except those escaping.”
Hambaa Yihuudaa kanneen biyya Gibxi keessa jiraachuu dhaqan keessaa namni miliqu yookaan biyya Yihuudaa kan achi jiraachuuf hawwan sanatti deebiʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; baqattoota tokko tokko malee isaan hin deebiʼaniitii.”
15 And they answer Jeremiah—all the men who are knowing that their wives are making incense to other gods, and all the women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros—saying:
Ergasiis namoonni akka niitonni isaanii waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsan beekan hundii fi dubartoonni achi turan, walumatti waldaan guddaan tokkoo fi namoonni biyya Gibxi keessa Phaxroos jiraatan hundi Ermiyaasiin akkana jedhan;
16 “The word that you have spoken to us in the Name of YHWH—we are not listening to you;
“Nu dubbii ati maqaa Waaqayyootiin nutti dubbatte sana hin dhageenyu!
17 for we certainly do everything that has gone out of our mouth, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and—we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and we have not seen calamity.
Nu waan ni hojjenna jenne hunda dhugumaan ni hojjenna: Akkuma nuu fi abbootiin keenya, mootonni keenyaa fi qondaaltonni keenya magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti goone sana nu Mootittii Samiitiif ixaana ni aarsina; dhibaayyuus ni dhibaafanna. Nu yeroo sanatti nyaata akka malee baayʼee qabna turre; haala tolaa keessa jiraanne malee hin miidhamne.
18 And from the time we have ceased to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have lacked all, and we have been consumed by sword and by famine,
Erga Mootittii Samiitiif ixaana aarsuu fi dhibaayyuu dhibaafachuu dhiifne garuu nu goraadee fi beelaan dhumaa jirra malee homaa hin arganne.”
19 and when we are making incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her—have we made cakes for her to idolize her, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands?”
Dubartoonnis kana irratti, “Yeroo nu Mootittii Samiitiif ixaana aarsinee dhibaayyuu illee dhibaafanneef sana akka nu fakkii isheetiin keekii tolchinee dhibaayuu dhibaafannuuf dhirsoonni keenya ni beeku mitii?” jedhan.
20 And Jeremiah says to all the people, concerning the men and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are answering him, saying,
Ermiyaas uummata deebii isaaf kennaa ture dhiiraa dubartii hundaan akkana jedhe;
21 “The incense that you made in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your heads, and the people of the land, has YHWH not remembered it? Indeed, it comes up on His heart.
“Waaqayyo waaʼee ixaana isinii fi abbootiin keessan, mootonni keessanii fi qondaaltonni keessan, sabni biyyattiis magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem keessatti aarsitan sanaa yaadatee garaatti hin qabannee?
22 And YHWH is not able to accept [you] anymore, because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that you have done, and your land is for a ruin, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, without inhabitant, as [at] this day.
Yeroo Waaqayyo hojii keessan hamaa fi waan jibbisiisaa isin hojjettan sana argee obsuu dadhabetti biyyi keessan akkuma amma jirtu kana waan abaarsaatii fi ona duwwaa namni keessa hin jiraanne taʼee hafe.
23 Because that you have made incense, and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and have not walked in His law, and in His statutes, and in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has met you as [at] this day.”
Sababii isin ixaana aarsitanii Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjettanii fi isaaf ajajamuu diddaniif yookaan seera isaa yookaan labsii isaa yookaan qajeelfama isaa illee duukaa buʼuu diddaniif balaan kun akkuma isin amma argitan kana isinitti dhufe.”
24 And Jeremiah says to all the people, and to all the women, “Hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt:
Ermiyaasis saba hundaa fi dubartoota hundaan akkana jedhe; “Isin sabni Yihuudaa warri biyya Gibxi keessa jiraattan hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
25 Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, You and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled, saying, We certainly execute our vows that we have vowed, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her. You certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your vows.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Isinii fi niitonni keessan waan, ‘Nu dhugumaan wareega waaqittii samiitiif ixaana aarsuu fi dhibaayyuu illee dhibaafachuuf wareegne sana ni guunna’ jettanitti waadaa galtan sana hojiidhaan argisiiftaniirtu. “Egaa ittuma fufaatii waan waadaa galtan sana raawwadhaa! Wareega keessanis guutadhaa!
26 Therefore, hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great Name, said YHWH, My Name is no longer proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Lord YHWH lives—in all the land of Egypt.
Isin Yihuudoonni biyya Gibxi keessa jiraattan hundi garuu dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa: Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Akka namni Yihuudaadhaa dhufee biyya Gibxi keessa eessa iyyuu jiraatu tokko iyyuu lammata maqaa koo hin dhoofne yookaan, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo Goofticha jiraataa” jedhee hin kakanneen ani maqaa koo guddaadhaan nan kakadha.
27 Behold, I am watching over them for calamity, and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt have been consumed by sword and by famine, until their consumption.
Ani waan hamaaf isaan ilaalaan jira malee waan tolaaf isaan ilaalaa hin jiruutii; Yihuudoonni biyya Gibxi keessa jiraatan hamma hundi isaanii barbadeeffamanitti goraadee fi beelaan dhumu.
28 And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and all the remnant of Judah, who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, have known whose word is established, Mine or theirs.
Warri goraadee jalaa miliqanii biyya Gibxii gara Yihuudaatti deebiʼan akka malee xinnoo taʼu. Gaafas hambaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen biyya Gibxi keessa jiraachuuf dhufan guutuun akka dubbiin kootii fi kan isaanii keessaa kan eenyuu fiixaan baʼu ni beeku.
29 And this [is] the sign to you—a declaration of YHWH—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that you know that My words are certainly established against you for calamity—
“‘Akka ani iddoo kanatti isin adabu wanni kun mallattoo isiniif taʼa;’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘kunis akka isin akka dubbiin koo dhugumaan isiniin mormee dhaabatu beektaniif.’
30 thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.”
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani akkuma Zedeqiyaa Mooticha Yihuudaa dabarsee diina lubbuu isaa galaafachuu barbaadutti Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti kenne sana Faraʼoon Hofraa mooticha Gibxi illee dabarsee diinota isaa warra lubbuu isaa galaafachuu barbaadanitti nan kenna.’”
