< Jeremiah 33 >

1 And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, the second time, when he was yet imprisoned in the guard-court, saying:
Utuu Ermiyaas amma iyyuu oobdii eegumsaa keessatti hidhamee jiruu, dubbiin Waaqayyoo yeroo lammaffaa akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe:
2 Thus, saith Yahweh, who doeth it, —Yahweh, who fashioneth it to establish it, Yahweh, is his name:
“Waaqayyo inni lafa uume, Waaqayyo inni lafa tolchee jabeessee ishee dhaabe, kan maqaan isaa Waaqayyo jedhamu sun akkana jedha;
3 Call unto me that I may answer thee, —and tell thee things great and inaccessible, which thou hast not known.
‘Ati gara kootti iyyadhu; anis deebii siifin kennaa; waan guddaa fi dhoksaa ati hin beekne sitti nan hima.’
4 For, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, —which are thrown down against the earthworks and against the sword:
Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee manneen magaalaa kanaatii fi waaʼee masaraa mootota Yihuudaa kanneen ittiin tuulaa biyyootii fi goraadee of irraa dhowwuuf diigaman sanaa akkana jedhaatii;
5 In entering to fight with the Chaldeans, it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have smitten in mine anger and in mine indignation, —and because of whom I have hidden my face from this city, —by reason of all their wickedness.
Baabilononni loluuf ni dhufu; ‘Isaanis magaalaa kana reeffa namoota ani aarii fi dheekkamsa kootiin fixuutiin ni guutu. Ani sababii hammina ishee hundaatii fi magaalaa kana duraa fuula koo dhokfadheeraatii.
6 Behold me! laying upon her a bandage of healing, so will I heal them, —And will reveal to them abundance of prosperity and truth;
“‘Taʼus ani isaan nan fayyisa; nan bayyanachiisas; ani saba koo nan fayyisa; akka isaan nagaa fi tasgabbii guddaan jiraatan nan godha.
7 And I will bring back Them of the captivity of Judah, and Them of the captivity of Israel, —And I will build them, as at the first;
Ani Yihuudaa fi Israaʼelin boojuudhaa deebisee akka isaan dur turanitti nan ijaara.
8 And I will purify them, from all their iniquity wherewith they have sinned against me, —And I will grant pardon for all their iniquities Wherewith they have sinned against me, and Wherewith they have transgressed against me;
Cubbuu isaan natti hojjetan hunda irraa isaan nan qulqulleessa; cubbuu isaan natti finciluun hojjetan hundas nan dhiisaaf.
9 So shall she become to me—A name of joy, A praise and An adorning, To all the nations of the earth, —Who will hear all the good which I am doing them, And will dread and be deeply moved over all the good and over all the prosperity which I am causing her.
Magaalaan kun fuula saboota lafa irraa warra waan gaarii ani isheef godhe hunda dhagaʼan hundaa duratti maqaa, gammachuu, galataa fi ulfina naa taati; isaan sababii badhaadhummaa fi nagaa ani isheef kennu hundaatiif sodaatanii hollatan.’
10 Thus, saith Yahweh—Again, shall be heard in this place, as to which ye are saying, Deserted, it is without man or beast, In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, Which are desolate without man or inhabitant or beast
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Isin waaʼee iddoo kanaa, “Biyyattiin kun ontee duwwaa hafteerti; namni yookaan bineensi ishee keessa hin jiru” jettu. Taʼu illee magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem kanneen duwwaa hafanii namni yookaan bineensi keessa hin jirre sana keessatti amma illee,
11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, The voice of them who are saying, Praise ye Yahweh of hosts, For good is Yahweh For age-abiding is his lovingkindness, The voice of them who are bringing a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh, —For I will bring back the captives of the land, as at the first, Saith Yahweh.
sagaleen ililleetii fi gammachuu, sagaleen misirrichaatii fi misirrittii, sagaleen warra mana Waaqayyootti aarsaa dhiʼeessanii kan, “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu galateeffadhaa; Waaqayyo gaariidhaatii; jaalalli isaas bara baraan ni jiraata” jedhu ni dhagaʼama. Ani boojiʼamtoota biyyattii akkuma isaan duraan turanittin deebisaatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.
12 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Again, shall there be in this place—Which is deserted without man or even beast—And all the cities thereof, —The home of shepherds, causing flocks to lie down.
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: ‘Iddoo onaa namni yookaan horiin keessa hin jiraanne kanaa fi magaalaawwan ishee hunda keessa lafti dheedaa kan tiksoonni bushaayee isaanii itti boqochiifatan ammas ni jiraata.
13 In the cities of the hill country, In the cities of the lowland, and In the cities of the South, and In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, Again shall the flock pass over the hands of the numberer, Saith Yahweh.
Magaalaawwan biyya gaaraa keessatti, kanneen gaarran dhiʼaatii fi Negeeb keessatti, biyya Beniyaam keessatti, gandoota naannoo Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessatti amma illee bushaayeen harka nama isaan toʼatuu jala ni hulluuqu’ jedha Waaqayyo.
14 Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, —when I will establish my good word, which I have spoken—As to the house of Israel And concerning the house of Judah:
“‘Barri ani’ jedha Waaqayyo ‘waadaa gaarii ani mana Israaʼelii fi mana Yihuudaatiif seene sana itti fiixaan baasu ni dhufa.’
15 In those days and at that time, will I cause to bud unto David A Bud of righteousness, —And he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land:
“‘Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti ani akka dameen qajeelaan tokko sanyii Daawit keessaa latu nan godha; inni waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe biyyattii keessatti ni hojjeta.
16 In those days, Judah shall be saved, and, Jerusalem abide, securely, —And, this, is that which shall be proclaimed to her—Yahweh, our righteousness!
Bara sana keessa Yihuudaan ni fayya; Yerusaalemis nagaan jiraatti. Maqaan isheen ittiin waamamtus, Waaqayyo qajeelummaa keenya’ jedhama.
17 For, Thus, saith Yahweh, —There shall not be wanting to David—A man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: ‘Daawit gonkumaa nama teessoo mana Israaʼel irra taaʼu hin dhabu;
18 Nor to the priests the Levites, shall there be wanting—A man, before me, To offer an ascending-sacrifice, or To make a perfume with a gift, or To offer a [peace-] offering, all the days!
yookaan luboonni warri Lewwota taʼan gonkumaa nama aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuuf, kennaa midhaanii gubuu fi qalma dhiʼeessuuf ittuma fufee fuula koo dura dhaabatu hin dhaban.’”
19 And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah saying:
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
20 Thus, saith Yahweh, If ye can break, My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, That there be not day and night in their season,
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Yoo isin akka halkanii fi guyyaan yeroo isaanii kennametti hin dhufneef kakuu ani halkan wajjin galee fi kakuu ani guyyaa wajjin gale sana cabsuu dandeessan,
21 My covenant also, may be broken With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne, —And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants:
kakuun ani garbicha koo Daawit wajjin galee fi kakuun ani Lewwota luboota taʼanii fuula koo dura tajaajilan wajjin gale sun cabuu dandaʼa; Daawitis siʼachi sanyii teessoo isaa irra taaʼee bulchu hin qabaatu.
22 As, the host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon me.
Ani sanyii garbicha koo Daawitii fi Lewwota fuula koo dura tajaajilan akkuma urjiiwwan samiitii fi akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa kan madaalamuu hin dandeenyee nan baayʼisa.’”
23 And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying:
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
24 Hast thou not observed what, this people, have spoken saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he hath even cast them off? And so, my people, they despise, as though they could not again become a nation in their sight!
“Ati akka uummanni kun, ‘Waaqayyo mootummoota filatee ture lamaan gateera’ jechaa jiru hin qalbeeffannee? Kanaafuu isaan saba koo tuffataniiru; siʼachis akka saba tokkootti isa hin ilaalan.
25 Thus, saith Yahweh, If my covenant of day and night, the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, I did not appoint,
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani utuu halkanii fi guyyaa wajjin kakuu koo jabeessee dhaabuu baadhee, samii fi lafaafis seera kaaʼuu baadhee,
26 The seed of Jacob also and of David my servant, might I cast off so as not to take of his seed as rulers unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, —For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon them.
silaa sanyii Yaaqoobii fi sanyii tajaajilaa koo Daawit gatee akka inni sanyii Abrahaam, sanyii Yisihaaqii fi kan Yaaqoob bulchuuf ilmaan isaa keessaa nama tokko hin filadhu ture. Anis boojiʼamtoota isaanii nan deebisa; garaa illee nan laafaaf.’”
