Jeremiah 8
1 "At that time," says YHWH, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
“‘Bara sana lafeen moototaatii fi qondaaltota Yihuudaa, lafeen lubootaatii fi raajotaa, lafeen namoota Yerusaalem awwaala isaanii keessaa ni baafama’ jedha Waaqayyo.
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
‘Isaan fuula aduu fi jiʼaa duratti, fuula guutummaa urjiiwwan samii hundaa, kanneen jaallatanii fi tajaajilanii, kanneen faana buʼanii gorsa gaafatanii fi waaqeffatan sanaa duratti ni saaxilamu. Isaan akkuma kosii lafatti gatamee taʼan malee walitti hin qabaman yookaan hin awwaalaman.
3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them," says YHWH of hosts.
Hambaan saba hamaa kanaa hundi lafa ani itti isaan ariʼu hundatti jireenya irra duʼa filata’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
“Ati akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Namoonni yoo kufan hin kaʼanii? Namni tokko yoo karaa irraa bade hin deebiʼuu?
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
Yoos sabni kun maaliif karaa irraa jalʼata? Yerusaalem maaliif yeroo hunda karaa irraa jalʼatti? Isaan gowwoomsaatti cichu; deebiʼuus ni didu.
6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak what is right: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Ani qalbeeffadhee dhaggeeffadheera; isaan garuu waan qajeelaa hin dubbatan. Namni tokko iyyuu, “Ani maalan balleesse?” jedhee hammina isaa irraa hin deebiʼu. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii akkuma farda lolatti gulufuu karaa ofii isaanii irra qajeelu.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know YHWH's law.
Huummoon samii keessaa iyyuu waqtii isheef murtaaʼe ni beekti; gugeen, daalotee fi cuquliisnis yeroo godaansa isaanii ni eegu. Sabni koo garuu seera Waaqayyoo hin beeku.
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of YHWH is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
“‘Isin akkamitti, “Nu seera Waaqayyoo waan qabnuuf ogeeyyii dha” jechuu dandeessu? Garuu kunoo, qalamni sobaa kan barreessitootaa sobee barreesseera.
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of YHWH; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
Namoonni ogeeyyiin ni qaaneffamu; isaan naʼanii kiyyoodhaan ni qabamu; isaan erga dubbii Waaqayyoo tuffatanii, ogummaa akkamii qabu ree?
10 therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Kanaafuu ani niitota isaanii namoota biraatiif, lafa qotiisaa isaanii immoo moʼattootaaf nan kenna. Xinnaadhaa hamma guddaatti hundi isaanii iyyuu buʼaa argachuuf gaggabu; raajonnii fi luboonnis akkasuma hundi isaanii nama gowwoomsu.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
Isaan madaa saba kootii, akkuma waan xinnaa tokkootti ilaalanii walʼaanu. Utuu nagaan hin jiraatinis “Nagaa, nagaa” jedhu.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No. They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says YHWH.
Isaan amala isaanii jibbisiisaa sanatti ni qaanaʼuu? Lakkii, isaan qaanii tokko iyyuu hin qaban; qaanaʼuun maal akka taʼe iyyuu hin beekan. Kanaafuu isaan warra kufan wajjin ni kufu; yeroo adabamanitti gad gatamu jedha Waaqayyo.
13 I will utterly consume them, says YHWH: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.'"
“‘Ani guutumaan guutuutti isaan nan balleessa; jedha Waaqayyo. Wayinii irratti iji hin argamu. Iji harbuu muka harbuu irratti hin argamu. Baalli isaaniis ni coollaga. Wanni ani isaaniif kenne isaan irraa ni fudhatama.’”
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for YHWH our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against YHWH.
Nu maaliif as teenya? Walitti qabamaa! Kottaa gara magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabaniitti baqannee achitti haa dhumnu! Waan nu cubbuu isatti hojjenneef Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya badiisatti dabarsee nu kenneeraatii; akka dhugnuufis bishaan summaaʼaa nuu kenneera.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
Nu nagaa abdanne; garuu wanni gaariin tokko iyyuu hin dhufne; nu yeroo fayyinaa abdanne; garuu goolii qofatu ture.
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
Daan keessaa korrisuu fardeen diinaatu dhagaʼama; guutuun biyyattii himimsuu korommii fardeen isaaniitiin hollatti. Isaan biyyattii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda, magaalaa fi warra ishee keessa jiraatan hunda, balleessuuf dhufaniiru.
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says YHWH.
“Ani kunoo bofa hadhaa qabu, buutii falfalli dawweessuu hin dandeenye isinitti nan erga; isaanis isin iddu” jedha Waaqayyo.
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
Yaa isa gadda keessatti na Jajjabeessitu, onneen koo na keessatti gaggabdeerti.
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't YHWH in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
Kunoo, iyyi saba kootii biyya fagoodhaa ni dhagaʼama: “Waaqayyo Xiyoon keessa hin jiruu? Mootiin ishee achi hin jiruu?” “Isaan maaliif fakkiiwwan isaaniitiin, waaqota isaanii tolfamoo biyya ormaatiin dheekkamsaaf na kakaasu?”
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
“Yeroon itti midhaan galfamu darbeera; bonnis hobbaʼeera; nu garuu hin fayyine.”
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
Sabni koo waan miidhameef anis miidhameera; Ani nan booʼe; sodaan guddaanis na qabate.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Qorichi dibatan Giliʼaad keessa hin jiruu? Abbaan qorichaa tokko iyyuu achi hin jiruu? Yoos madaan intala saba kootii maaliif hin fayyu ree?
