< Jeremiah 16 >

1 The word of YHWH came also to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 "You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.
“Ati iddoo kanatti niitii fuutee ilmaan yookaan intallan hin dhalchin.”
3 For thus says YHWH concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
Waaqayyo waaʼee ilmaanii fi intallan iddoo kanatti dhalatanii, waaʼee dubartoota haadhota isaanii taʼaniitii fi waaʼee dhiirota abbootii isaanii taʼanii akkana jedhaatii:
4 They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
“Isaan dhukkuba nama ajjeesuun dhumu. Isaan akkuma kosii lafatti gatamee taʼu malee booʼicha hin argatan; hin awwaalamanis. Isaan goraadee fi beelaan dhumu. Reeffi isaaniis allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata taʼa.”
5 For thus says YHWH, 'Do not enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says YHWH, even loving kindness and tender mercies.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Ati mana booʼichaa hin seenin yookaan dhaqxee hin booʼin yookaan isaan hin jajjabeessin; ani eebba koo, jaalala kootii fi gara laafina koo saba kana irraa fudhadheeraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
6 Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
“Namni xinnaa fi guddaan biyya kana keessatti ni duʼa. Isaan hin awwaalaman yookaan booʼicha hin argatan; namni tokko iyyuu isaaniif jedhee of hin murmuru yookaan mataa hin haaddatu.
7 neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Namni tokko iyyuu warra namni irraa duʼe jajjabeessuuf jedhee nyaata hin geessuuf; yookaan namni tokko iyyuu nama abbaan yookaan haati jalaa duute jajjabeessuuf jedhee dhugaatii hin geessu.
8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
“Mana cidhi jiru hin seenin; nyaachuu fi dhuguuf jettees isaan wajjin hin taaʼin.
9 For thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: Look, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii: Ani ija keessan durattii fi bara keessan keessa sagalee ililleetii fi gammachuu, sagalee misirrittiitii fi misirrichaa iddoo kanaa nan balleessa.
10 It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, 'Why has YHWH pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against YHWH our God?'
“Yeroo ati waan kana hunda saba kanatti himtee isaan, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif badiisa guddaa akkanaa nurratti labse? Nu maal balleessine? Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyattis cubbuu maalii hojjennee?’ jedhanii si gaafatanitti,
11 Then you shall tell them, 'Because your fathers have forsaken me, says YHWH, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Kun sababii abbootiin keessan na dhiisanii waaqota kaan duukaa buʼanii isaan tajaajilanii fi isaan waaqeffataniif’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘isaan na dhiisan; seera koos hin eegne.
12 and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, look, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you do not listen to me:
Isin garuu abbootii keessan iyyuu caalaa hammaattaniirtu. Kunoo tokkoon tokkoon keessan qooda anaaf ajajamuu mata jabina hammina garaa keessanii duukaa buutaniirtuutii.
13 therefore I will cast you forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.'
Kanaafuu ani biyya kana keessaa isin baasee, biyya isin yookaan abbootiin keessan hin beeknetti isin nan gata; isinis achitti halkanii guyyaa waaqota biraa tajaajiltu; ani isiniif hin naʼuutii.’
14 Therefore look, the days come," says YHWH, "that it shall no more be said, 'As YHWH lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;'
“Taʼus” jedha Waaqayyo, “barri itti namoonni siʼachi, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, isa biyya Gibxii Israaʼeloota baase sanaa’ jedhanii hin kakanne ni dhufa,
15 but, 'As YHWH lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.' I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
isaan garuu, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa biyya kaabaatii fi biyyoota itti isaan bittinneesse hunda keessaa baasee fide sanaa’ ni jedhu. Ani biyya abbootii isaaniitiif kenne sanatti isaan nan deebisaatii.
16 Look, I will send for many fishermen," says YHWH, "and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
“Amma immoo ani akka isaan qurxummii qabdoota hedduu fidaniif namoota nan erga” jedha Waaqayyo; “isaanis jara ni qabu. Ergasii ani akka isaan adamsitoota hedduu fidaniif namoota nan erga; isaanis tulluu hundaa fi gaara hunda irra, baqaqaa kattaa hunda keessas jara ni adamsu.
17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
Iji koo karaa isaanii hunda irra jira; isaanis na duraa hin dhokatan; cubbuun isaaniis ija koo duraa hin dhokfamu.
18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations."
Sababii isaan fakkiiwwan isaanii lubbuu dhabeeyyii faayidaa hin qabne sanaan biyya koo xureessanii, waaqota isaanii jibbisiisoo sanaanis handhuuraa koo guutaniif ani gatii hamminaa fi lubbuu isaaniitiif malu harka lama nan baasaaf.”
19 "YHWH, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the farthest parts of the earth, and shall say, 'Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
Yaa Waaqayyo, jabina kootii fi daʼannoo ko, daʼoo koo kan yeroo rakkinaa, ormoonni handaara lafaatii gara kee dhufanii akkana jedhu, “Abbootiin keenya waaqota sobaa, waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabne kanneen waan gaarii tokko illee isaaniif hin goone sana malee homaa hin dhaalle.
20 Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?'"
Namoonni ofii isaaniitiif waaqota ni tolfatuu? Eeyyee, garuu isaan waaqota miti!”
21 "Therefore look, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is YHWH.
“Kanaafuu ani isaan nan barsiisa; yeroo kanatti ani humna koo fi jabina koo isaan nan barsiisa. Yoos isaan akka maqaan koo Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
