Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the cohanim who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Kun dubbii Ermiyaas ilma Hilqiyaa kan luboota biyya Beniyaam keessa magaalaa Anaatoot jiraatan keessaa tokko taʼe sanaa ti.
2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo bara Yosiyaas ilma Aamoon mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha sadaffaatti gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
akkasumas bara Yehooyaaqiim ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatii jalqabee hamma dhuma bara Zedeqiyaa ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti waggaa sana keessaas hamma jiʼa shanaffaatti, yeroo sabni Yerusaalem boojiʼametti dubbiin kun gara isaa dhufaa ture.
4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
5 "Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."
“Ani utuu gadameessa keessatti si hin uumin dura si beeke; utuu ati hin dhalatin dura addaan si baafadhe; akka ati sabootaaf raajii taatuufis si muude.”
6 Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD. Look, I do not know how to speak; for I am a child."
Anis, “Wayyoo, yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ani akkamitti akkan dubbadhu hin beeku; ani mucaa xinnoo dha” nan jedhe.
7 But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a child;' for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak.
Waaqayyo garuu akkana naan jedhe; “Ati, ‘Ani mucaa xinnoo dha’ hin jedhin. Ati gara nama ani itti si ergu hundaa dhaqxee waan ani si ajaju hunda dubbachuu qabda.
8 Do not be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD.
Ati jara hin sodaatin; ani si baasuuf si wajjinan jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, "Look, I have put my words in your mouth.
Ergasiis Waaqayyo harka isaa hiixatee afaan koo tuqee akkana naan jedhe; “Kunoo, ani dubbii koo afaan kee keessa kaaʼeera.
10 Look, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
Ilaa, ani akka ati buqqiftuu fi diigduuf, akka barbadeessituu fi garagalchituuf, akka ijaartuu fi dhaabduuf harʼa sabootaa fi mootummoota irratti si muudeera.”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara koo dhufee, “Ermiyaas, ati maal argaa jirta?” naan jedhe. Anis deebisee, “Damee muka lawuzii arguuttin jira” jedhe.
12 Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it."
Waaqayyo immoo, “Ati sirriitti argite; ani akka dubbiin koo fiixaan baʼuuf kutadhee kaʼeeraatii” naan jedhe.
13 The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, "What do you see?" I said, "I see a boiling caldron; and it is tipping away from the north."
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo amma illee gara koo dhufee, “Ati maal argaa jirta?” naan jedhe. Anis deebisee, “Xuwwee danfaa jiru kan kaaba irraa as garagalee jiru tokko nan arga” jedhe.
14 Then the LORD said to me, "Out of the north evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Gara kaabaatii balaan warra biyyattii keessa jiraatan hundatti ni buʼa.
15 For, look, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north," says the LORD; "and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
Kunoo saboota mootummoota kaabaa hunda walitti nan waama” jedha Waaqayyo. “Mootonni isaanii dhufanii karrawwan Yerusaalem dura teessoowwan isaanii ni dhaabbatu; isaan dallaawwan naannoo ishee hundaa fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda marsu.
16 I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraaf ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii hojjete waaqeffachuudhaan hammina hojjetaniif ani saba kootti murtii nan labsa.
17 "You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
“Ati garuu mudhii kee hidhadhuu kaʼiitii waan ani si ajaju hunda isaanitti himi. Ati jara hin sodaatin; ati isaan sodaannaan ani fuula isaanii duratti sodaa sittin buusaa.
18 For, look, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its cohanim, and against the people of the land.
Akka ati guutuu biyyattiitiin jechuunis mootota Yihuudaatiin, qondaaltota isheetiin, lubootaa fi uummata biyyattiitiin mormituuf ani harʼa magaalaa dallaa jabaan marfamte, utubaa sibiilaatii fi dallaa naasii si taasiseera.
19 They will fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you," says the LORD, "to deliver you."
Isaan si lolu; garuu si hin moʼatan; ani si baasuuf si wajjin jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
