Jeremiah 22
1 Thus, said Yahweh, Go thou down to the house of king of Judah, and speak thou there this word,
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Gara masaraa Mootii Yihuudaatti gad buʼiitii akkana jedhii ergaa kana achitti labsi;
2 and say—Hear thou the word of Yahweh O king of Judah who sittest upon the throne of David, —thou, and thy servants and thy people who enter in at these gates,
‘Yaa Mootii Yihuudaa, ati kan teessoo Daawit irra teessu, ati, qondaaltonni keetii fi sabni kee warri karra kanaan ol galtan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
3 Thus, saith Yahweh, —Execute ye justice, and righteousness, And deliver the robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, —But the sojourner the fatherless, and the widow, do not oppress neither commit violence, And the blood of the innocent, do not ye shed, in this place.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe hojjedhaa. Nama saamame tokko harka nama isa cunqursuutii baasaa. Alagaatti, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnetti yookaan haadha hiyyeessaatti daba yookaan jalʼina hin hojjetinaa; dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnees iddoo kanatti hin dhangalaasinaa.
4 For if ye, indeed do, this thing, then shall there enter into the gates of this house—kings, sitting for David upon his throne riding in chariots and on horses, he and his servants, and his people.
Yoo isin ajajawwan kanneen sirriitti eegdan mootonni teessoo Daawit irra taaʼan, qondaaltotaa fi saba isaanii wajjin gaarii moototaatii fi fardeen yaabbatanii karrawwan masaraa mootummaa kanaan ol galu.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, By myself have I sworn Declareth Yahweh—That, a ruin, shall this house become.
Yoo isin ajajawwan kanneen eeguu baattan garuu akka masaraan mootummaa kun barbadeeffamu ani maqaa kootiin kakadheera, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
6 For Thus, saith Yahweh Concerning the house of the king of Judah, —Though thou wast Gilead, to me, The summit of Lebanon, Yet surely I will make thee, A wilderness, Cities, not habitable;
Waaqayyo waaʼee masaraa mootii Yihuudaa akkana jedhaatii: “Ati akka Giliʼaad, akka fiixee Libaanoon naaf taate iyyuu, ani dhugumaan akka gammoojjii, akka magaalaawwan namni keessa hin jiraannee sin taasisa.
7 And I will hallow against thee Destroyers Every man with his weapons, —And they shall cut down of the choicest of thy cedars, and cast upon the fire.
Ani balleessitoota tokkoon tokkoon isaanii miʼa lolaa qabatan, sitti nan erga; isaanis birbirsa kee filatamaa ni ciru; ibiddattis ni naqu.
8 Then shall many nations pass by this city, —and shall say, every man to his neighbour, For what cause, hath Yahweh done thus, unto this great city?
“Namoonni biyya hedduus yommuu magaalaa kana biraan darbanitti, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif magaalaa guddaa kanatti waan akkanaa fide?’ jedhanii wal gaafatu.
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, their God, —And bowed down to other gods And served them.
Isaanis, ‘Sababii isaan kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii dhiisanii waaqota biraa waaqeffatanii tajaajilaniifii dha’ jedhanii deebisu.”
10 Do not ye lament for him that is dead Neither bemoan ye, him, But weep ye—weep on—for him that is going away, For he shall not return any more Nor see the land of his birth.
Isin nama duʼeef hin booʼinaa yookaan hin gaddinaa; qooda kanaa nama boojiʼameef hiqqifadhaa booʼaa; inni lammata hin deebiʼu yookaan biyya itti dhalate hin arguutii.
11 For Thus, saith Yahweh—Touching Shallum, son of Josiah king of Judah, That reigneth instead of Josiah his father, Who hath gone forth out of this place, He shall not return thither any more;
Waaqayyo waaʼee Shaluum ilma Yosiyaas kan qooda abbaa isaa mootii Yihuudaa taʼee garuu iddoo kanaa deeme sanaa akkana jedhaatii: “Inni gonkumaa hin deebiʼu.
12 For in the place whither they have taken him captive, There, shall he die, —And this land, shall he see no more.
Inni iddoo boojiʼamee itti geeffame sanatti duʼa; biyya kanas lammaffaa hin argu.”
13 Alas! for him who buildeth his house without righteousness, And his roof-chambers without justice, —Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And recompense for his work, giveth him not.
“Nama ollaa isaa utuu gatii humna isaa hin kenniniif akkasumaan hojjechiifachuudhaan mana isaa karaa qajeelaa hin taʼiniin, kutaa isaa kan mana gubbaa immoo karaa sirrii hin taʼiniin ijaarratuuf wayyoo.
14 Who saith—I will build me a roomy house, with spacious roof-chambers, —So he cutteth him open its windows, And it is covered in with cedar, And he painteth it with vermilion.
Inni, ‘Ani masaraa guddaa tokko, kutaa mana gubbaa balʼaa isaa wajjin ofii kootiif nan ijaarradha’ jedha. Kanaafuu inni foddaawwan itti baasee muka birbirsaatiin bareechee halluu diimaadhaan miidhagsa.
15 Shalt thou reign, because, thou, art eager to excel in cedar? Thy father, did he not eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness, And, then, it was well with him?
“Birbirsa hedduu qabaachuun kee mootii si taasisaa? Abbaan kee nyaataa dhugaatii hin qabu turee? Inni waan qajeelaa fi haqa hojjete; kanaafuu wanni hundinuu ni qajeeleef.
16 [Did he not] plead the cause of the oppressed and the needy, And, then, it was well? Was not, that, to know, me? Demandeth Yahweh.
Inni hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattootaaf ni falme; kanaafuu wanni hundi ni qajeeleef. Na beekuu jechuun kanuma mitii?” jedha Waaqayyo.
17 Verily thou hast neither eyes nor heart, save for thy plundering and for thy shedding of innocent blood, and for oppression and for crushing to do them!
Iji keetii fi garaan kee garuu buʼaa karaa hin maliniin argamu irra, dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnee dhangalaasuu irra, cunqursaa fi goolii kaasuu qofa irra buʼeera.
18 Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, Touching Jehoiakim son of Josiah King of Judah, They shall not cry in lament for him Alas my brother! or Alas sister! They shall not cry in lament for him Alas lord! or Alas! his renown!
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo waaʼee Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa, ilma Yosiyaas akkana jedha: “Isaan, ‘Anaaf wayyoo, yaa obboleessa koo! Anaaf wayyoo, yaa obboleettii koo!’ jedhanii hin booʼaniif. Isaan, ‘Anaaf wayyoo, yaa gooftaa koo! Anaaf wayyoo yaa ulfina isaa!’ jedhanii hin booʼaniif.
19 With the burial of an ass, shall he be buried, Dragged along and cast forth, beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Inni awwaala harree argata, jechuunis lafa irra harkifamee karrawwan Yerusaalem keessaa gad baafamee gatama.”
20 Ascend the Lebanon and make outcry, And in Bashan, put forth thy voice, —And make outcry from Abarim, For all thy lovers are torn in pieces.
“Libaanoonitti ol baʼii iyyi; sagaleen kee Baashaan keessatti haa dhagaʼamu; Abaariim keessaas iyyi; michoonni kee hundi barbadeeffamaniiruutii.
21 I spake unto thee, in thy carelessness, —Thou saidst I will not hearken! This hath been thy way from thy youth, That thou hast not hearkened to my voice.
Ani yeroo ati nagaa qabdutti si akeekkachiiseen ture; ati garuu, ‘Ani hin dhaggeeffadhu!’ jette. Kun ijoollummaa keetii jalqabee amala kee ture; ati naaf hin ajajamne.
22 All thy shepherds, the wind shall feed, And, thy lovers into captivity, shall depart, —Surely, then shalt thou turn pale and be confounded, by reason of all thy wickedness.
Tiksoota kee hunda bubbeen fudhatee sokka; michoonni kees ni boojiʼamu. Sababii hammina kee hundaatiif ati ni qaanofta; ni salphattas.
23 O inhabitress of Lebanon that makest thy nest in the cedars, —How hast thou bemoaned thyself Now that pangs have overtaken thee, Anguish, as of her that giveth birth.
Ati kan Libaanoon keessa jiraattu, kan muka birbirsaatiin mana ijaarrattu, yeroo dhiphinni si qabee akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattu tokkoo miixattutti ati akkam aadda!
24 As I live, Declareth Yahweh, —Even though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet-ring upon my right hand, yet, from thence, would I pull thee off;
“Akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼe” jedha Waaqayyo; “Yaa Yehooyaakiin mooticha Yihuudaa, ilma Yehooyaaqiim, yoo ati qubeelaa chaappaa harka koo mirgaa taatee illee ani baaseen si gata.
25 and I would give thee into the hand of them who seek thy life and into the hand of them from the face of whom, thou dost shrink in fear, —even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans;
Ani warra lubbuu kee galaafachuu barbaadanitti, warra ati sodaattu jechuunis Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonii fi Baabilonotatti dabarsee sin kenna.
26 and I will hurl thee out and thy mother who bare thee, upon another land where ye were not born, —and, there, shall ye die.
Ani siʼii fi haadha si deesse biyya biraatti, biyya tokkoon keessan iyyuu itti hin dhalatinitti isin nan darbadhaa; isin lachuu achitti duutu.
27 But unto the land whither they shall be lifting up their souls to return, thither, shall they not return.
Isin biyya itti deebiʼuu hawwitanitti gonkumaa hin deebitan.”
28 An earthen vessel to be despised thrown about, is this man Coniah? Or an instrument, in which is no pleasure? Wherefore are they to be cast out, he and his seed, and to be thrown forth upon a land which they have not known?
Yehooyaakiin kun nama akkuma okkotee cabaa tuffatame, miʼa namni tokko iyyuu hin barbaanneedhaa? Ijoolleen isaatii fi inni maaliif darbatamanii biyya hin beeknetti gatamani?
29 O land, land, land! Hear thou the word of Yahweh!
Yaa lafaa, yaa lafaa, yaa lafaa, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi!
30 Thus, saith Yahweh, —Register ye this man, childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days, —For there shall prosper of his seed No man sitting upon the throne of David, Or ruling any more over Judah.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Namicha kana akka nama ijoollee hin qabne tokkootti, akka nama bara jireenya isaa keessa hin milkoofne tokkootti galmeessaa; sanyii isaa keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin milkaaʼu, namni tokko iyyuu teessoo Daawit irra hin taaʼu, yookaan siʼachi Yihuudaa hin bulchuutii.”
