< Jeremiah 51 >

1 Thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to rouse on Babylon and against [the] inhabitants Leb-qamai a wind a destroyer.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani Baabilonii fi saba ishee keessa jiraatutti bubbee waa balleessu nan kaasa.
2 And I will send to Babylon - strangers and they will winnow it and they may lay waste land its for they will be on it from round about on [the] day of calamity.
Ani akka isaan gingilchanii ishee balleessaniif ormoota Baabilonitti nan erga; isaan gaafa badiisa ishee, karaa hundaanuu isheen mormu.
3 May not he bend (*Q(K)*) the [one] bending bow his and may not he lift in armor his and may not you spare young men its totally destroy all army its.
Abbaan xiyyaa iddaa isaa hin aggaamin, yookaan miʼa lolaa hin hidhatin. Dargaggoota ishee hin baasinaa; loltoota ishee illee guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessaa.
4 And they will fall slain in [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and pierced through in streets its.
Isaan qalamanii Baabilon keessa ni harcaafamu; daandiiwwan ishee irrattis ni madaaʼu.
5 For not [is] forsaken Israel and Judah from God its from Yahweh of hosts for land their it is full guilt from [the] holy [one] of Israel.
Yoo biyyi isaanii fuula Qulqullicha Israaʼel duratti yakkaan guutamtee jiraatte iyyuu Waaqni isaanii, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa hin ganne.
6 Flee - from [the] midst of Babylon and save everyone life his may not you be destroyed in iniquity its for [is] a time of vengeance it for Yahweh recompense he [is] about to repay to it.
“Baabilon keessaa baqadhaa! Lubbuu keessan oolfadhaa! Isin sababii cubbuu isheetiif hin dhuminaa. Yeroon kun yeroo haaloo baʼuu Waaqayyoo ti; innis gatii isheef malu ni kennaaf.
7 [was] a cup of Gold Babylon in [the] hand of Yahweh making drunk all the earth some of wine its they have drunk nations there-fore they are acting like mad people nations.
Baabilon harka Waaqayyoo keessatti xoofoo warqee turte; isheen guutummaa lafaa ni macheessite. Saboonni daadhii wayinii ishee dhugan; kanaafuu amma maraataniiru.
8 Suddenly it will fall Babylon and it was broken wail on it get balm for pain its perhaps it will be healed.
Baabilon akkuma tasaa kuftee caccabdi; isheef booʼaa! Qoricha isheen madaa dibattu fidaafii; tarii isheen ni fayyiti taʼaatii.
9 (We healed *Q(k)*) Babylon and not it was healed leave it so we may go everyone to own land his for it has reached to the heavens judgment its and it has been lifted up to [the] clouds.
“‘Nu Baabilonin fayyisu yaalleerra; isheen garuu fayyuu hin dandeessu; kottaa tokkoon tokkoon keenya ishee dhiifnee gara biyya ofii keenyaatti haa qajeellu; murtiin ishee hamma samiitti ol baʼee, hamma duumessaatti ol fagaateeraatii.’
10 He has brought forth Yahweh righteousness our come so let us recount in Zion [the] work of Yahweh God our.
“‘Waaqayyo qajeelummaa keenya dhugaa nuu baʼeera; kottaa, waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya hojjete Xiyoon keessatti haa odeessinu.’
11 Sharpen the arrows fill the shields he has roused Yahweh [the] spirit of [the] kings of Media for on Babylon purpose his [is] to destroy it for [is] [the] vengeance of Yahweh it [the] vengeance of temple his.
“Xiyya qaradhaa; gaachana illee fudhadhaa! Sababii kaayyoon isaa Baabilonin balleessuu taʼeef Waaqayyo mootota Meedee kakaaseera. Waaqayyo haaloo ni baʼa; mana qulqullummaa isaatii haaloo ni baʼa.
12 Against [the] walls of Babylon lift up a standard strengthen the watch station watchmen prepare the ambushers for both he has purposed Yahweh as well as he will do [that] which he spoke concerning [the] inhabitants of Babylon.
Dallaa Baabilonitti faajjii kaasaa! Eegumsa jajjabeessaa; eegduu dhaabaa; warra riphee eeggatu qopheessaa! Waaqayyo kaayyoo isaa waan saba Baabilonitti mure sana fiixaan baafata.
13 (O [one who] dwells *Q(k)*) at waters many greatness of treasures it has come end your [the] cubit of cutting off your.
Ati kan bishaan baayʼee qabdu, kan qabeenyaanis badhaate, dhumni kee dhufeera; yeroon ati itti baddu gaʼeera.
14 He swears Yahweh of hosts by self his that except I will fill you person[s] like locust and they will sing to you a shout.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu ofiin kakateera: Ani dhugumaan namoota akkuma hoomaa hawwaannisaa sitti gad dhiisa; isaanis moʼannaadhaan sitti dhaadatu.
15 [he] made [the] earth By power his [he] established [the] world by wisdom his and by understanding his he stretched out [the] heavens.
“Inni humna isaatiin lafa uume; ogummaa isaatiin addunyaa hundeesse; hubannaa isaatiinis samiiwwan diriirse.
16 To [the] sound of giving forth he a tumult of waters in the heavens and he brought up clouds from [the] end of [the] earth lightning for the rain he makes and he brought out [the] wind from storehouses his.
Yommuu inni qaqawweessaʼutti bishaanonni samii ni huursu; inni akka duumessoonni daarii lafaatii ol kaʼan ni godha. Bokkaa wajjin balaqqee ni erga; mankuusaalee isaa keessaa immoo bubbee ni fida.
17 He is stupid every person from knowledge he is put to shame every metalsmith from [the] idol for [is] deception molten image his and not breath [is] in them.
“Tokkoon tokkoon namaa gowwaa fi kan beekumsa hin qabnee dha; tokkoon tokkoon tumtuu warqee waaqota tolfamoo isaatiin qaaneffama. Fakkiiwwan inni tolchu kan sobaa ti; isaan hafuura baafatan of keessaa hin qaban.
18 [are] futility They a work of mockery at [the] time of punishment their they will perish.
Isaan faayidaa hin qaban; meeshaa qoosaa ti; yeroo adabbiin isaanii gaʼutti ni badu.
19 Not [is] like these [the] portion of Jacob for [is [the] one who] formed everything he and [the] tribe of inheritance his [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Inni qooda Yaaqoob taʼe sun garuu akka warra kanaa miti; inni uumaa waan hundumaa ti; Israaʼel immoo gosa dhaala isaa ti; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
20 [are] a war-club You of me weapons of war and I smash by you nations and I destroy by you kingdoms.
“Ati bokkuu koo kan duulaa miʼa lolaa kootii ti; ani siin saboota nan caccabsa; siin mootummoota nan barbadeessa;
21 And I smash by you horse and rider its and I smash by you chariotry and rider[s] its.
Ani siin fardaa fi yaabbataa fardaa nan caccabsa; siin gaarii fi ooftuu isaa nan caccabsa;
22 And I smash by you man and woman and I smash by you old [man] and young man and I smash by you young man and young woman.
ani siin dhiiraa dubartoota nan caccabsa; siin jaarsaa dargaggeessa nan caccabsa; siin gaʼeessaa fi shamarree nan caccabsa;
23 And I smash by you shepherd and flock his and I smash by you a farmer and team his and I smash by you governors and officials.
ani siin tiksee fi bushaayee nan caccabsa; siin qottuu fi qotiyyoo nan caccabsa; siin bulchitootaa fi qondaaltota nan caccabsa.
24 And I will repay to Babylon and to all - [the] inhabitants of Chaldea all evil their which they did in Zion to eyes your [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“Ani utuma iji keessan arguu waan isaan Xiyoon godhan hundaaf Baabilonii fi warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan hundaaf gatii isaanii nan kenna” jedha Waaqayyo.
25 Here I [am] against you O mountain of destruction [the] utterance of Yahweh who destroys all the earth and I will stretch out hand my on you and I will roll you from the crags and I will make you into a mountain of burning.
“Yaa tulluu barbadeessaa, ati kan lafa hunda balleessitu ani sitti kaʼeera; ani harka koo sitti nan kaafadha; ededa irraa gad gangalchee tulluu gubamaa sin godha” jedha Waaqayyo.
26 And not people will take from you stone for a corner and stone for foundations for wastes of perpetuity you will be [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“Waan ati bara baraan ontuuf, kattaan dhagaa golee taʼu, yookaan dhagaan hundeef taʼu tokko iyyuu si keessaa hin fudhatamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
27 Lift up a standard in the land blow a trumpet among the nations consecrate on it nations summon on it [the] kingdoms of Ararat Minni and Ashkenaz appoint on it an official bring up horse[s] like a locust bristly.
“Biyyattii keessatti faajjii ol qabaa! Saboota gidduuttis malakata afuufaa! Saboota waraanaaf isheetti qopheessaa; mootummoota Araaraat, kan Miiniitii fi Ashkenas isheetti waamaa. Ajajaa waraanaa isheetti shuumaa; fardeen akka hoomaa hawwaannisaa itti ergaa.
28 Consecrate on it nations [the] kings of Media governors its and all officials its and all [the] land of dominion his.
Ishee waraanuudhaaf saboota jechuunis, mootota Meedee bulchitoota isaaniitii fi qondaaltota isaanii hunda, biyyoota isaan bulchan hundas qopheessaa.
29 And it quaked the land and it writhed for it will be fulfilled on Babylon [the] plans of Yahweh to make [the] land of Babylon into a waste from not inhabitant.
Sababii wanni Waaqayyo akka namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraanneef biyya Baabilon onsuuf Baabilonitti karoorfate sun jabaatee dhaabatuuf biyyattiin ni raafamti; ni dhidhiitattis.
30 They will cease [the] warriors of Babylon to fight they will remain in the strongholds it will be dry strength their they will become women they will be set on fire dwellings its they will be broken bars its.
Gootonni Baabilon lola dhiisaniiru; isaan daʼannoo isaanii keessatti hafaniiru. Jabinni isaanii dhumeera; isaan akkuma dubartootaa taʼaniiru. Iddoo jireenya isheetti ibiddi qabsiifameera; danqaraawwan balbala ishees caccabaniiru.
31 A runner to meet a runner he will run and a messenger to meet a messenger to tell to [the] king of Babylon that it has been captured city his from [the] end.
Akka magaalaan isaa moggaa hamma moggaatti qabamte mootii Baabilonitti himuuf, fiigduun tokko isa kaan qaqqabuuf, ergamaan tokkos ergamaa kaan qaqqabuuf fiiga;
32 And the fords they have been seized and the reed-marshes they have burned with fire and [the] men of war they are terrified.
kunis akka malkaan qabame, akka daʼannoowwan ishee gubamanii fi akka loltoonni ishee naʼan himuudhaaf.”
33 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel [the] daughter of Babylon [will be] like a threshing floor a time [when] someone treads down it yet a little and it will come [the] time of the harvest to it.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Intalli Baabilon akkuma oobdii ti; yeroo sanatti isheen ni dhidhiitamti; yeroon isheen itti haamamtus dafee ni dhufa.”
34 (He devoured me he confused me *Q(K)*) Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon (he set down me *Q(K)*) a vessel of emptiness (he swallowed me *Q(K)*) like sea monster he filled belly his from delicacies my (he rinsed out me. *Q(K)*)
“Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon na nyaateera; inni barbadeesseera; akkuma okkotee duwwaa na godhe. Inni akkuma jawwee na liqimse; qabeenya koo filatamaadhaanis garaa guuttate; ergasii immoo na tufe.”
35 Violence my and flesh my [be] on Babylon she will say [the] inhabitant[s] of Zion and blood my [be] to [the] inhabitants of Chaldea it will say Jerusalem.
Jiraattonni Xiyoon, “Dabni foon keenyatti hojjetame Baabilonitti illee haa dhufu” jedhan. Yerusaalemis, “Dhiigni keenya warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan haaloo haa baʼu” jetti.
36 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to conduct case your and I will avenge vengeance your and I will dry up sea its and I will make dry spring its.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kunoo, ani dubbii kee siif falmee haaloo siifin baʼa; ani galaana ishee nan gogsa; burqaa ishee illee nan kuta.
37 And it will become Babylon - heaps of stones - a habitation of jackals a horror and a hissing from not inhabitant.
Baabilon tuullaa diigame, iddoo waangoonni keessa burraaqan, waan naasuutii fi qoosaa, lafa namni tokko iyyuu irra hin jiraanne ni taati.
38 Together like young lions they roar they growl like cubs of lions.
Sabni ishee hundi akka saafela leencaa ni aada; isaanis akka ilmaan leencaa gururiʼu.
39 When getting heated they I will make feast their and I will make drunk them so that they may celebrate and they will sleep a sleep of perpetuity and not they will awake [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Yommuu dhagni isaanii hoʼutti, ani akka isaan kolfaa gammadanii bara baraan rafanii hin dammaqneef cidha isaaniif qopheessee akka isaan machaaʼan nan godha” jedha Waaqayyo.
40 I will bring down them like lambs to slaughter like rams with goats.
“Ani akka ilmoolee hoolaa, akkuma korbeeyyii hoolaatii fi reʼee gara qalmaatti gad isaan buusa.
41 How! it will be captured Sheshach and it has been seized [the] praise of all the earth how! it will become a horror Babylon among the nations.
“Sheeshaak akkamitti boojiʼamti! Boonuun lafa hundaas akkamitti qabame! Baabilon saba gidduutti akkam waan sodaa taati!
42 It will go up over Babylon the sea with [the] tumult of waves its it will be covered.
Baabilon irra galaanni garagala; dambaliin galaanaas ishee haguuga.
43 They will become cities its a waste a land dry and a desert plain a land [where] not he will dwell in them any person and not he will pass in them a child of humankind.
Magaalaawwan ishee onanii biyya gogaa fi gammoojjii, biyya namni tokko iyyuu keessa hin jiraanne, kan namni keessa hin dabarre ni taʼu.
44 And I will visit [judgment] on Bel in Babylon and I will bring out swallowed thing his from mouth his and not they will stream to him again nations also [the] wall of Babylon it will fall.
Ani Baabilon keessatti Beelin nan adaba; waan inni liqimse illee nan tufsiisa. Saboonni lammata gara isaatti hin yaaʼan; dallaan Baabilonis ni jiga.
45 Come out from [the] midst of it O people my and save everyone life his from [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
“Yaa saba ko, ishee keessaa baʼaa! Lubbuu keessan oolfachuuf fiigaa! Dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo sodaachisaa sana jalaa baqadhaa.
46 And lest it should be weak heart your so you may fear at the report which is being heard in the land and it will come in the year the report and after it in the year the report and violence [will be] in the land and ruler [will be] on ruler.
Yeroo oduun biyya keessatti dhagaʼamutti garaan keessan hin raafamin yookaan hin sodaatin; akka gooliin biyya keessa jiru, akka bulchaan tokko bulchaa kaanitti kaʼu, oduun tokko barana, kaan immoo bara dhufu dhagaʼama.
47 Therefore here! days [are] coming and I will visit [judgment] on [the] images of Babylon and all land its it will be ashamed and all slain [ones] its they will fall in [the] midst of it.
Yeroon ani itti waaqota Baabilon tolfamoo adabu dhugumaan ni dhufaatii; biyyi ishee guutumaan guutuutti ni salphatti; qalamtoonni ishee hundis ishee keessatti kukkufu.
48 And they will cry out for joy on Babylon heaven and earth and all that [is] in them for from [the] north he will come to it the destroyers [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Ergasii samii fi lafti, wanni isaan keessa jiru hundis, gammadanii Baabilonitti ililchu; barbadeessitoonni kaabaa baʼanii ishee waraanuutii” jedha Waaqayyo.
49 Both Babylon [is] to fall [those] slain of Israel as well as for Babylon they have fallen [those] slain of all the earth.
“Akkuma qalamtoonni lafa irraa hundi sababii Baabiloniif harcaʼan sana Baabilonis sababii qalamtoota Israaʼeliif harcaʼuu qabdi.
50 O escapees from [the] sword go may not you stand still remember from a distant [land] Yahweh and Jerusalem let it come up on heart your.
Isin warri goraadee jalaa miliqxan, deemaa; lafa irra hin harkifatinaa! Biyya fagootti illee Waaqayyoon yaadadhaa; waaʼee Yerusaalemis yaadaa.”
51 We are ashamed for we have heard scorn it has covered ignominy faces our for they have gone strangers to [the] holy places of [the] house of Yahweh.
“Sababii ormoonni iddoo qulqullaaʼaa mana Waaqayyootti qalaniif, nu salphifamneerra; waan arrabsamneefis qaaniidhaan fuula keenya haguugganne.”
52 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on images its and in all land its he will groan [the] fatally wounded.
“Garuu barri ani itti, waaqota ishee tolfamoo adabuu fi yeroon guutummaa lafa ishee irratti warri madaaʼan aadan dhufaa jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
53 If it will go up Babylon the heavens and if it will fortify [the] height of strength its from with me they will come destroyers to it [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“Yoo Baabilon samiitti ol baatee daʼannoo ishee ol dheeraa jabeeffatte iyyuu, ani warra ishee barbadeessan itti nan erga” jedha Waaqayyo.
54 [the] sound of A cry of distress from Babylon and destruction great from [the] land of [the] Chaldeans.
“Baabilonii iyyi, lafa Baabilonotaatii immoo sagaleen badiisa guddaa ni dhagaʼama.
55 For [is] about to destroy Yahweh Babylon and he will destroy from it a sound great and they will roar waves their like waters many it will be given [the] uproar of voice their.
Waaqayyos Baabilonin ni barbadeessa; inni waca ishee ni calʼisiisa, dambaliin isaaniis akkuma bishaan guddaa ni huursa; sagaleen huursaa isaaniis ni dhagaʼama.
56 For [is] about to come on it on Babylon a destroyer and they will be captured warriors its it will be shattered bows their for [is] a God of recompense Yahweh fully he will repay.
Barbadeessaan tokko Baabilonitti ni dhufa; gootonni ishee ni qabamu; futtaaftuun isaaniis ni caccaba; Waaqayyo, Waaqa haaloo baʼuudhaatii; inni guutumaan guutuutti gatii ishee ni deebisaaf.
57 And I will make drunk officials its and wise [people] its governors its and officials its and warriors its and they will sleep a sleep of perpetuity and not they will awake [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Ani qondaaltotaa fi ogeeyyii ishee, akkasumas bulchitoota, ajajjoota waraanaatii fi gootota ishee nan macheessa; isaanis bara baraan ni rafu; hin dammaqanis,” jedha mootichi maqaan isaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, jedhamu sun.
58 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] walls of Babylon broad utterly it will be demolished and gates its high with fire they will be kindled and they may labor peoples for [the] sufficiency of emptiness and peoples for [the] sufficiency of fire and they grow weary.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; “Dallaan Baabilon yabbuun sun ni jiga; karrawwan ishee dhedheeroon ibiddaan gubamu; namoonni akkasumaan of dadhabsiisu; dadhabbiin sabootaa qoraan ibiddaa qofa taʼa.”
59 The word which he commanded - Jeremiah the prophet Seraiah [the] son of Neriah [the] son of Mahseiah when went he with Zedekiah [the] king of Judah Babylon in [the] year fourth of reigning his and Seraiah [was] an official of a resting place.
Yeroo Seraayaan ilmi Neeriyaa, ilmi Mahiseyaa bara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa afuraffaatti mooticha wajjin gara Baabilon deemetti ajajni Ermiyaas Raajichi isaaf kenne kanaa dha.
60 And he wrote Jeremiah all the calamity which it will come to Babylon to a scroll one all the words these which were written concerning Babylon.
Ermiyaas badiisa Baabilonitti dhufu hunda, jechuunis waaʼee Baabilon kan barreeffame hunda kitaaba maramaa irratti barreessee ture.
61 And he said Jeremiah to Seraiah when coming you Babylon and you will see and you will read aloud all the words these.
Innis Seraayaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Yommuu Baabilon geessutti dubbii kana hunda sagalee ol fudhattee dubbisuu hin dagatin.
62 And you will say O Yahweh you you have spoken concerning the place this to cut off it to not to be in it an inhabitant from humankind and unto animal for desolations of perpetuity it will be.
Akkanas jedhi: ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, akka namni yookaan horiin ishee keessa hin jiraanneef ati akka iddoo kana barbadeessitu dubbatteerta; isheenis bara baraan ni onti.’
63 And it will be when finishing you to read aloud the scroll this you will tie on it a stone and you will throw it into [the] middle of [the] Euphrates.
Yeroo kitaaba maramaa kana dubbiftee fixxutti dhagaa itti hidhiitii Laga Efraaxiisitti darbadhu.
64 And you will say thus it will sink Babylon and not it will rise because of the calamity which I [am] about to bring on it and they will grow weary [are] to here [the] words of Jeremiah.
Akkanas jedhi; ‘Sababii badiisa ani isheetti fiduutiin akka lammata hin kaaneef Baabilon akkasitti ni liqimfamti. Uummanni ishees ni harcaʼa.’” Dubbiin Ermiyaas as irratti raawwatama.
