Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha:
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
“Dubbii kakuu kanaa dhagaʼaatii saba Yihuudaattii fi namoota Yerusaalem keessa jiraatanitti himaa.
3 and say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man that heareth not the words of this covenant,
Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha, jedhiitii isaanitti himi; ‘Namni dubbii kakuu kanaatiif hin ajajamne haa abaaramu.
4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
Dubbiin kunis dubbii ani yeroon biyya Gibxi jechuunis boolla ibiddaa kan itti sibiila baqsan keessaa isaan baasetti abbootii keessan ajajee dha.’ Anis akkanan jedhee, ‘Naa ajajamaatii waan ani isin ajaju hunda hojjedhaa; yoos isin saba koo taatu. Anis Waaqa keessan nan taʼa.
5 that I may establish the oath which I sware unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, O LORD.
Ergasiis ani kakuu akka biyya aannanii fi dammii keessaa yaaʼu isaaniif kennuuf abbootii keessaniif kakadhe sana fiixaan nan baasa;’ biyyi sunis biyya isin harʼa dhaaltanii jirtanii dha.” Anis “Ameen, Yaa Waaqayyo” nan jedhe.
6 And the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Dubbii kana hunda magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessattii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti akkana jedhii labsi; ‘Dubbii kakuu kanaa hunda dhagaʼaatii duukaa buʼaa.
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Ani gaafan abbootii keessan biyya Gibxiitii baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti, “Naa ajajamaa” jedhee ammumaa amma isaan akeekkachiisaan ture.
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.
Isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne; qooda kanaa isaan mata jabina garaa isaanii hamaa sanaa faana buʼan. Kanaafuu ani abaarsa kakuu ani akka isaan duukaa buʼaniif isaan ajajee isaan garuu eeguu didan sanaa hunda isaanittan fide.’”
9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ammas Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Saba Yihuudaatii fi uummata Yerusaalem jiraatu gidduutti fincila tokkotu argame.
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Isaan gara cubbuu abbootii isaanii kanneen dubbii koo dhagaʼuu didan sanaatti deebiʼaniiru. Waaqota biraa tajaajiluudhaaf jedhaniis isaan faana buʼaniiru. Manni Israaʼelii fi manni Yihuudaa kakuu ani abbootii isaanii wajjin kakadhe sana cabsaniiru.
11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani balaa jarri jalaa baʼuu hin dandeenye tokko isaanitti nan fida. Yoo isaan natti iyyatan iyyuu ani isaan hin dhagaʼu.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi namoonni Yerusaalem dhaqanii waaqota duraan ixaana aarsaniif sanatti iyyatan; waaqonni sun garuu yeroo rakkinni isaanitti dhufutti isaan gargaaruu hin dandaʼan.
13 For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
Yaa Yihuudaa ati akkuma magaalaawwan baayʼee qabdu sana waaqota baayʼee qabda; iddoowwan aarsaa kanneen isin Baʼaal waaqa qaanessaa sanaaf qopheessitanis akkuma daandiiwwan Yerusaalem baayʼatan.’
14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
“Sababii ani yeroo isaan rakkina isaanii keessatti na waammatanitti isaan hin dhageenyeef ati saba kanaaf hin kadhatin; waammata yookaan iyyata tokko illee hin dhiʼeessiniif.
15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness [with] many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
“Michuun koo namoota hedduu wajjin hojii hamaa hojjechaa mana qulqullummaa koo keessaa maal qabdi? Foon qulqulleeffamee addaan baafame adabbii kee sirraa deebisuu ni dandaʼaa? Gaafa waan hamaa hojjettu, ati ni gammaddaatii.”
16 The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Waaqayyo duraan, Muka ejersaa lalisaa miidhagaa ija qabu siin jedhee ture. Amma garuu huursaa bubbee jabaatiin ibidda itti qabsiisa; dameewwan isaas ni caccabsamu.
17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal.
Sababii manni Israaʼelii fi manni Yihuudaa waan hamaa hojjetanii, Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsuudhaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniif Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu inni si dhaabe sun badiisa sitti labseera.
18 And the LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou shewedst me their doings.
Sababii Waaqayyo mala isaanii naaf ibseef ani waan sana nan beeke; inni yeroo sanatti waan isaan hojjechaa jiran natti argisiiseeraatii.
19 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
Anis akkuma xobbaallaa hoolaa isa garraamii kan gara qalmaatti oofamu tokkoon ture; ani akka isaan, “Kottaa muka sanaa fi ija isaa haa barbadeessinuu; akka maqaan isaa siʼachi hin yaadatamneef, kottaa biyya jiraattotaa keessaa isa balleessinaa” jechuudhaan natti malatan ani hin hubannen ture.
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
Garuu yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kan murtii qajeelaa kennitu, kan garaa fi yaada namaa qortu, ani dhimma koo sitti kennadheeraatii ati akka haaloo isaanitti baatu na argisiisi.
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedhee waaʼee namoota Anaatoot warra, ‘Ati maqaa Waaqayyootiin raajii hin dubbatin yoo kanaa achii harka keenyatti duuta’ jechuudhaan si ajjeesuu barbaadan sanaa dubbata.
22 therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;
Kanaafuu Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: ‘Ani jara nan adaba. Dargaggoonni isaanii goraadeedhaan, ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii immoo beelaan ni dhumu.
23 and there shall be no remnant unto them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Sababii ani bara isaan itti adabaman keessa namoota Anaatootitti balaa fiduuf isaan hambaa tokko iyyuu hin qabaatan.’”
