Jeremiah 51
1 Thus says the LORD: "Look, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani Baabilonii fi saba ishee keessa jiraatutti bubbee waa balleessu nan kaasa.
2 I will send to Babylon foreigners who shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her around.
Ani akka isaan gingilchanii ishee balleessaniif ormoota Baabilonitti nan erga; isaan gaafa badiisa ishee, karaa hundaanuu isheen mormu.
3 Do not let him who bends the bow bend it; nor not let him rise up in his armor. And do not spare her young men; utterly destroy all her army.
Abbaan xiyyaa iddaa isaa hin aggaamin, yookaan miʼa lolaa hin hidhatin. Dargaggoota ishee hin baasinaa; loltoota ishee illee guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessaa.
4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
Isaan qalamanii Baabilon keessa ni harcaafamu; daandiiwwan ishee irrattis ni madaaʼu.
5 "For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
Yoo biyyi isaanii fuula Qulqullicha Israaʼel duratti yakkaan guutamtee jiraatte iyyuu Waaqni isaanii, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa hin ganne.
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; do not be cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
“Baabilon keessaa baqadhaa! Lubbuu keessan oolfadhaa! Isin sababii cubbuu isheetiif hin dhuminaa. Yeroon kun yeroo haaloo baʼuu Waaqayyoo ti; innis gatii isheef malu ni kennaaf.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, who made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
Baabilon harka Waaqayyoo keessatti xoofoo warqee turte; isheen guutummaa lafaa ni macheessite. Saboonni daadhii wayinii ishee dhugan; kanaafuu amma maraataniiru.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
Baabilon akkuma tasaa kuftee caccabdi; isheef booʼaa! Qoricha isheen madaa dibattu fidaafii; tarii isheen ni fayyiti taʼaatii.
9 'We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.'
“‘Nu Baabilonin fayyisu yaalleerra; isheen garuu fayyuu hin dandeessu; kottaa tokkoon tokkoon keenya ishee dhiifnee gara biyya ofii keenyaatti haa qajeellu; murtiin ishee hamma samiitti ol baʼee, hamma duumessaatti ol fagaateeraatii.’
10 'The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.'
“‘Waaqayyo qajeelummaa keenya dhugaa nuu baʼeera; kottaa, waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya hojjete Xiyoon keessatti haa odeessinu.’
11 Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: the LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
“Xiyya qaradhaa; gaachana illee fudhadhaa! Sababii kaayyoon isaa Baabilonin balleessuu taʼeef Waaqayyo mootota Meedee kakaaseera. Waaqayyo haaloo ni baʼa; mana qulqullummaa isaatii haaloo ni baʼa.
12 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
Dallaa Baabilonitti faajjii kaasaa! Eegumsa jajjabeessaa; eegduu dhaabaa; warra riphee eeggatu qopheessaa! Waaqayyo kaayyoo isaa waan saba Baabilonitti mure sana fiixaan baafata.
13 You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
Ati kan bishaan baayʼee qabdu, kan qabeenyaanis badhaate, dhumni kee dhufeera; yeroon ati itti baddu gaʼeera.
14 The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, "Surely I will fill you with men, as with the canker worm; and they shall lift up a shout against you."
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu ofiin kakateera: Ani dhugumaan namoota akkuma hoomaa hawwaannisaa sitti gad dhiisa; isaanis moʼannaadhaan sitti dhaadatu.
15 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
“Inni humna isaatiin lafa uume; ogummaa isaatiin addunyaa hundeesse; hubannaa isaatiinis samiiwwan diriirse.
16 When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Yommuu inni qaqawweessaʼutti bishaanonni samii ni huursu; inni akka duumessoonni daarii lafaatii ol kaʼan ni godha. Bokkaa wajjin balaqqee ni erga; mankuusaalee isaa keessaa immoo bubbee ni fida.
17 Every man has become brutish without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, 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.
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Isaan faayidaa hin qaban; meeshaa qoosaa ti; yeroo adabbiin isaanii gaʼutti ni badu.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD 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.
20 "You are my battle axe and weapons of war: and with you will I break in pieces the nations; and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
“Ati bokkuu koo kan duulaa miʼa lolaa kootii ti; ani siin saboota nan caccabsa; siin mootummoota nan barbadeessa;
21 and with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and its rider.
Ani siin fardaa fi yaabbataa fardaa nan caccabsa; siin gaarii fi ooftuu isaa nan caccabsa;
22 And with you will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the virgin;
ani siin dhiiraa dubartoota nan caccabsa; siin jaarsaa dargaggeessa nan caccabsa; siin gaʼeessaa fi shamarree nan caccabsa;
23 and with you will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke; and with you will I break in pieces governors and deputies.
ani siin tiksee fi bushaayee nan caccabsa; siin qottuu fi qotiyyoo nan caccabsa; siin bulchitootaa fi qondaaltota nan caccabsa.
24 I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight," says the LORD.
“Ani utuma iji keessan arguu waan isaan Xiyoon godhan hundaaf Baabilonii fi warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan hundaaf gatii isaanii nan kenna” jedha Waaqayyo.
25 "Look, I am against you, destroying mountain," says the LORD, "which destroys all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
“Yaa tulluu barbadeessaa, ati kan lafa hunda balleessitu ani sitti kaʼeera; ani harka koo sitti nan kaafadha; ededa irraa gad gangalchee tulluu gubamaa sin godha” jedha Waaqayyo.
26 They shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate for ever," says the LORD.
“Waan ati bara baraan ontuuf, kattaan dhagaa golee taʼu, yookaan dhagaan hundeef taʼu tokko iyyuu si keessaa hin fudhatamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
27 Set up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm.
“Biyyattii keessatti faajjii ol qabaa! Saboota gidduuttis malakata afuufaa! Saboota waraanaaf isheetti qopheessaa; mootummoota Araaraat, kan Miiniitii fi Ashkenas isheetti waamaa. Ajajaa waraanaa isheetti shuumaa; fardeen akka hoomaa hawwaannisaa itti ergaa.
28 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion.
Ishee waraanuudhaaf saboota jechuunis, mootota Meedee bulchitoota isaaniitii fi qondaaltota isaanii hunda, biyyoota isaan bulchan hundas qopheessaa.
29 The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Sababii wanni Waaqayyo akka namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraanneef biyya Baabilon onsuuf Baabilonitti karoorfate sun jabaatee dhaabatuuf biyyattiin ni raafamti; ni dhidhiitattis.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might has failed; they are become as women: her dwelling places are set on fire; her bars are broken.
Gootonni Baabilon lola dhiisaniiru; isaan daʼannoo isaanii keessatti hafaniiru. Jabinni isaanii dhumeera; isaan akkuma dubartootaa taʼaniiru. Iddoo jireenya isheetti ibiddi qabsiifameera; danqaraawwan balbala ishees caccabaniiru.
31 One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:
Akka magaalaan isaa moggaa hamma moggaatti qabamte mootii Baabilonitti himuuf, fiigduun tokko isa kaan qaqqabuuf, ergamaan tokkos ergamaa kaan qaqqabuuf fiiga;
32 and the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are frightened.
kunis akka malkaan qabame, akka daʼannoowwan ishee gubamanii fi akka loltoonni ishee naʼan himuudhaaf.”
33 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Intalli Baabilon akkuma oobdii ti; yeroo sanatti isheen ni dhidhiitamti; yeroon isheen itti haamamtus dafee ni dhufa.”
34 'Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has, like a monster, swallowed me up, he has filled his maw with my delicacies; he has cast me out.
“Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon na nyaateera; inni barbadeesseera; akkuma okkotee duwwaa na godhe. Inni akkuma jawwee na liqimse; qabeenya koo filatamaadhaanis garaa guuttate; ergasii immoo na tufe.”
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon,' shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, 'My blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea,' shall Jerusalem say.
Jiraattonni Xiyoon, “Dabni foon keenyatti hojjetame Baabilonitti illee haa dhufu” jedhan. Yerusaalemis, “Dhiigni keenya warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan haaloo haa baʼu” jetti.
36 Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kunoo, ani dubbii kee siif falmee haaloo siifin baʼa; ani galaana ishee nan gogsa; burqaa ishee illee nan kuta.
37 Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Baabilon tuullaa diigame, iddoo waangoonni keessa burraaqan, waan naasuutii fi qoosaa, lafa namni tokko iyyuu irra hin jiraanne ni taati.
38 They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' cubs.
Sabni ishee hundi akka saafela leencaa ni aada; isaanis akka ilmaan leencaa gururiʼu.
39 When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake," says the LORD.
Yommuu dhagni isaanii hoʼutti, ani akka isaan kolfaa gammadanii bara baraan rafanii hin dammaqneef cidha isaaniif qopheessee akka isaan machaaʼan nan godha” jedha Waaqayyo.
40 "I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
“Ani akka ilmoolee hoolaa, akkuma korbeeyyii hoolaatii fi reʼee gara qalmaatti gad isaan buusa.
41 How is Sheshach taken, and the praise of the whole earth seized. How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations.
“Sheeshaak akkamitti boojiʼamti! Boonuun lafa hundaas akkamitti qabame! Baabilon saba gidduutti akkam waan sodaa taati!
42 The sea has come up on Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
Baabilon irra galaanni garagala; dambaliin galaanaas ishee haguuga.
43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
Magaalaawwan ishee onanii biyya gogaa fi gammoojjii, biyya namni tokko iyyuu keessa hin jiraanne, kan namni keessa hin dabarre ni taʼu.
44 I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more to him: yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall."
Ani Baabilon keessatti Beelin nan adaba; waan inni liqimse illee nan tufsiisa. Saboonni lammata gara isaatti hin yaaʼan; dallaan Baabilonis ni jiga.
45 "My people, go away from the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the LORD.
“Yaa saba ko, ishee keessaa baʼaa! Lubbuu keessan oolfachuuf fiigaa! Dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo sodaachisaa sana jalaa baqadhaa.
46 Do not let your heart faint, neither fear for the news that shall be heard in the land; for news shall come one year, and after that in another year shall come news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
Yeroo oduun biyya keessatti dhagaʼamutti garaan keessan hin raafamin yookaan hin sodaatin; akka gooliin biyya keessa jiru, akka bulchaan tokko bulchaa kaanitti kaʼu, oduun tokko barana, kaan immoo bara dhufu dhagaʼama.
47 Therefore look, the days come, that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
Yeroon ani itti waaqota Baabilon tolfamoo adabu dhugumaan ni dhufaatii; biyyi ishee guutumaan guutuutti ni salphatti; qalamtoonni ishee hundis ishee keessatti kukkufu.
48 Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come to her from the north," says the LORD.
Ergasii samii fi lafti, wanni isaan keessa jiru hundis, gammadanii Baabilonitti ililchu; barbadeessitoonni kaabaa baʼanii ishee waraanuutii” jedha Waaqayyo.
49 As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
“Akkuma qalamtoonni lafa irraa hundi sababii Baabiloniif harcaʼan sana Baabilonis sababii qalamtoota Israaʼeliif harcaʼuu qabdi.
50 You who have escaped the sword, go, do not stand still; remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Isin warri goraadee jalaa miliqxan, deemaa; lafa irra hin harkifatinaa! Biyya fagootti illee Waaqayyoon yaadadhaa; waaʼee Yerusaalemis yaadaa.”
51 "We are confounded, because we have heard reproach; confusion has covered our faces: for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the LORD's house."
“Sababii ormoonni iddoo qulqullaaʼaa mana Waaqayyootti qalaniif, nu salphifamneerra; waan arrabsamneefis qaaniidhaan fuula keenya haguugganne.”
52 "Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
“Garuu barri ani itti, waaqota ishee tolfamoo adabuu fi yeroon guutummaa lafa ishee irratti warri madaaʼan aadan dhufaa jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come to her," says the LORD.
“Yoo Baabilon samiitti ol baatee daʼannoo ishee ol dheeraa jabeeffatte iyyuu, ani warra ishee barbadeessan itti nan erga” jedha Waaqayyo.
54 "The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans."
“Baabilonii iyyi, lafa Baabilonotaatii immoo sagaleen badiisa guddaa ni dhagaʼama.
55 For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered:
Waaqayyos Baabilonin ni barbadeessa; inni waca ishee ni calʼisiisa, dambaliin isaaniis akkuma bishaan guddaa ni huursa; sagaleen huursaa isaaniis ni dhagaʼama.
56 for the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for the LORD is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite.
Barbadeessaan tokko Baabilonitti ni dhufa; gootonni ishee ni qabamu; futtaaftuun isaaniis ni caccaba; Waaqayyo, Waaqa haaloo baʼuudhaatii; inni guutumaan guutuutti gatii ishee ni deebisaaf.
57 "I will make drunk her officials and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up," says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
Ani qondaaltotaa fi ogeeyyii ishee, akkasumas bulchitoota, ajajjoota waraanaatii fi gootota ishee nan macheessa; isaanis bara baraan ni rafu; hin dammaqanis,” jedha mootichi maqaan isaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, jedhamu sun.
58 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary."
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; “Dallaan Baabilon yabbuun sun ni jiga; karrawwan ishee dhedheeroon ibiddaan gubamu; namoonni akkasumaan of dadhabsiisu; dadhabbiin sabootaa qoraan ibiddaa qofa taʼa.”
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster.
Yeroo Seraayaan ilmi Neeriyaa, ilmi Mahiseyaa bara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa afuraffaatti mooticha wajjin gara Baabilon deemetti ajajni Ermiyaas Raajichi isaaf kenne kanaa dha.
60 Jeremiah wrote in a scroll all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
Ermiyaas badiisa Baabilonitti dhufu hunda, jechuunis waaʼee Baabilon kan barreeffame hunda kitaaba maramaa irratti barreessee ture.
61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
Innis Seraayaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Yommuu Baabilon geessutti dubbii kana hunda sagalee ol fudhattee dubbisuu hin dagatin.
62 and say, 'LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it shall be desolate forever.'
Akkanas jedhi: ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, akka namni yookaan horiin ishee keessa hin jiraanneef ati akka iddoo kana barbadeessitu dubbatteerta; isheenis bara baraan ni onti.’
63 It shall be, when you have made an end of reading this scroll, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Perath:
Yeroo kitaaba maramaa kana dubbiftee fixxutti dhagaa itti hidhiitii Laga Efraaxiisitti darbadhu.
64 and you shall say, 'Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they shall be weary.'" Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Akkanas jedhi; ‘Sababii badiisa ani isheetti fiduutiin akka lammata hin kaaneef Baabilon akkasitti ni liqimfamti. Uummanni ishees ni harcaʼa.’” Dubbiin Ermiyaas as irratti raawwatama.
