Jeremiah 12
1 You are righteous, LORD, when I contend with you; yet I would reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?
Yaa Waaqayyo yommuu ani iyyata koo fuula kee duratti dhiʼeeffadhutti ati yeroo hunda qajeelaa dha. Taʼu iyyuu ani waaʼee qajeelummaa keetii nan dubbadha; karaan jalʼootaa maaliif milkaaʼa? Warri hin amanamne hundi maaliif nagaan jiraatu?
2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
Ati isaan dhaabde; isaanis hidda gad fageeffataniiru; ni guddatu; ijas ni naqatu. Ati yeroo hunda afaan isaaniitii hin buutu; garaa isaanii irraa garuu fagoo jirta.
3 But you, LORD, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo ati na beekta; na ilaaltees yaada ani siif qabu ni qorta. Akka hoolaa qalamuuf deemuutti harkisii isaan geessi! Guyyaa qalmaatiifis kophaatti isaan baasi!
4 How long shall the land be parched, and the grass of every field wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the animals are consumed, and the birds; because they said, "He shall not see our latter end."
Biyyattiin hamma yoomiitti boossee margi dirree hundis goga? Sababii hammina warra biyyattii keessa jiraataniitii fi sababii namoonni, “Inni waan nurra gaʼaa jiru hin argu” jedhaniif horii fi simbirroonni dhumaniiru.
5 "If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
“Ati namoota lafoo wajjin fiigdee erga isaan si dadhabsiisanii, fardeen wajjin akkamitti dorgomuu dandeessa ree? Ati biyya nagaa keessatti erga gufatte, bosona Yordaanos keessatti akkam taata ree?
6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; even they have cried aloud after you: do not believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
Obboloonni kee, maatiin abbaa keetii, isaan iyyuu si gananiiru; isaan sagalee ol fudhatanii sitti iyyu. Yoo isaan afaan nagaa sitti dubbatan iyyuu, ati isaan hin amanin.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
“Ani mana koo dhiiseera; handhuuraa koos gateera; ani ishee garaan koo jaallatu sana harka diinota isheetti dabarsee kenneera.
8 My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest: she has uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
Handhuuraan koo akkuma leenca bosonaa natti taateerti. Isheen natti aadde; kanaafuu ani ishee jibbeera.
9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field, bring them to devour.
Handhuuraan koo akka allaattii burree kan allaattiiwwan biraa marsanii miidhan tokkoo natti hin taanee? Dhaqaatii bineensota bosonaa hunda walitti qabaa; akka ishee nyaataniifis isaan fidaa.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Tiksoonni hedduun iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii ni balleessu; qooda koos ni dhidhiitu; qooda natti tolus ni onsu.
11 They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
Isaan isa onsu; inni onee gara kootti iyya; namni dhimma isaa qabus waan hin jirreef lafti guutuun onee hafa.
12 Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of the LORD devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
Lafa ol kaʼaa qullaa gammoojjii keessaa hunda irra balleessitoonni ni raamʼisu; goraadeen Waaqayyoo // moggaa biyyattii tokko irraa hamma moggaa kaaniitti ni fixaatii; namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu.
13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Isaan qamadii facaasu garuu qoraatii haammatu; ni dhamaʼu garuu homaa hin argatan. Sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo isa cimaa sanaatiif midhaan galfatanitti ni qaanaʼu.”
14 Thus says the LORD against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: 'look, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani olloota koo hamoo kanneen handhuuraa ani saba koo Israaʼeliif kenne qabatan hunda biyya isaanii keessaa nan buqqisa; mana Yihuudaas isaan gidduudhaa nan buqqisa.
15 It shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Ani ergan isaan buqqisee booddee deebiʼee naʼeefii tokkoo tokkoo isaanii gara handhuuraa isaaniitii fi gara biyya ofii isaaniitti nan deebisa.
16 It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, "As the LORD lives;" even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.
Yoo isaan haala jireenya saba koo akka gaarii baratanii akkuma duraan saba koo Baʼaaliin kakachuu barsiisan sana, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jechuudhaan maqaa kootiin kakatan, isaan saba koo gidduutti ni hundeeffamu.
17 But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,'" says the LORD.
Garuu yoo sabni kam iyyuu naa ajajamuu dide, ani guutumaan guutuutti isa nan buqqisa; nan balleessas” jedha Waaqayyo.
