Jeremiah 34
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all of his army, together with all the kingdoms of the earth, the domains under his power, and all their people were waging war against Jerusalem and all of her cities, saying:
Yeroo Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabiloniitii fi loltoonni isaa hundi, mootummoonnii fi saboonni biyya inni bulchu keessa jiraatan hundi Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan naannoo ishee hunda lolaa turanitti dubbiin akkana jedhu tokko Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
2 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and say to him, 'Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will burn it.
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Gara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa dhaqiitii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani magaalaa kana dabarsee mootii Baabilonitti nan kenna; innis ishee guba.
3 You will not escape from his hand, for you will certainly be seized and given into his hand. Your eyes will look at the eyes of the king of Babylon; he will speak directly to you as you go to Babylon.'
Ati dhugumaan qabamtee dabarfamtee isatti kennamta malee harka isaa jalaa hin miliqxu. Mootii Baabilon ijuma keetiin ni argita; innis kallattiin si wajjin ni dubbata. Atis Baabilonitti ni geeffamta.
4 Listen to the word of Yahweh, Zedekiah king of Judah! Yahweh says this concerning you, 'You will not die by the sword.
“‘Taʼus yaa Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa, ati dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi. Waaqayyo waaʼee kee akkana jedha: Ati goraadeen hin duutu;
5 You will die in peace. As in the funeral burning of your ancestors, the kings who were before you, they will burn your body. They will say, “Woe, master!” They will lament for you. Now I have spoken—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
garuu nagumaan duuta. Namoonni akkuma ulfina awwaala abbootii keetii mootota siin duraatiif ibidda qabsiisan sana ulfina keetiif ibidda qabsiisanii, “Wayyoo yaa Gooftaa!” jedhanii booʼu. Ani mataan koo dubbii kana dubbadheeraatii, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
6 So Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed to Zedekiah king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem.
Ermiyaas raajichi Yerusaalem keessatti waan kana hunda Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatti hime;
7 The army of the king of Babylon made war against Jerusalem and all the remaining cities of Judah: Lachish and Azekah. These cities of Judah remained as fortified cities.
yeroo sanatti loltoonni mootii Baabilon Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa jechuunis Laakkiishii fi Azeeqaa lolaa turan. Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban keessaa kanneen hafan isaanuma kana qofa turaniitii.
8 The word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem, to proclaim freedom to them,
Erga Zedeqiyaa mootichi bilisummaa garbootaa labsuuf jedhee uummata Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu hunda wajjin kakuu galee booddee dubbiin tokko Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe.
9 that each man must free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, so one was to make a slave of a Jew, who was his brother.
Tokkoon tokkoo namaa garba isaa dhiiraa dubartii sanyii Ibrootaa taʼan bilisa baasuu qaba ture; namni kam iyyuu Yihuudii sanyii isaa taʼe tokko garbummaa keessatti hambisuu hin qabu.
10 So all the leaders and people entered into the covenant that each person would free his male and female slaves so that they would not be enslaved any longer. They obeyed and set them free.
Kanaafuu qondaaltonnii fi namoonni kakuu sana seenan hundi garboota isaanii dhiirotaa dubartii bilisa baasuu fi akka siʼachis isaan hin garboomfanne walii galan. Isaanis tole jedhanii jara bilisa baasan.
11 But after this they changed their minds. They brought back the slaves whom they had freed. They forced them to become slaves again.
Ergasii garuu yaada isaanii geeddaratanii garboota bilisa baasanii turan sana deebifatanii amma illee garboomfatan.
12 So the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
13 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this, 'I myself made a covenant with your ancestors on the day that I brought them out from the land of Egypt, out from the house of slavery. That was when I said,
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani yeroon Gibxii biyya garbummaatii isaan baasetti abbootii keessan wajjin akkana jedhee kakuu gale;
14 “At the end of every seven years, each man must send away his brother, his fellow Hebrew who had sold himself to you and served you for six years. Send him away in freedom.” But your ancestors did not listen to me or incline their ears to me.
‘Tokkoon tokkoon keessan waggaa torba torbatti nama sanyii Ibrootaa kan isinitti of gurgure kam iyyuu bilisa baasuu qabdu. Erga inni waggaa jaʼa isin tajaajilee booddee isin gad isa dhiisuu qabdu.’ Abbootiin keessan garuu na hin dhageenye; gurras naa hin kennine.
15 Now you yourselves repented and began to do what is right in my eyes. You proclaimed freedom, each man to his neighbor, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name.
Isin immoo dhiʼoo kana qalbii jijjiirrattanii waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe gootaniirtu: Tokkoon tokkoon keessanis lammiiwwan keessaniif bilisummaa labsitaniirtu. Mana Maqaa kootiin waamamu keessatti fuula koo duratti kakuu galtaniirtu.
16 But then you turned and polluted my name; you caused each man to bring back his male and female slaves, the ones whom you had sent out to go where they wished. You forced them to become your slaves again.'
Amma garuu garagaltanii maqaa koo xureessitan; tokkoon tokkoon keessan garboota dhiiraa dubartii isin akka isaan gara fedhan deemaniif bilisa baaftanii turtan sana deebiftanii fudhattaniirtu. Akka isaan ammas garboota keessan taʼaniif isaan dirqamsiiftaniirtu.
17 Therefore Yahweh says this, 'You yourselves have not listened to me. You should have proclaimed freedom, every one of you, to your brothers and fellow Israelites. So look! I am about to proclaim freedom to you—this is Yahweh's declaration—freedom for the sword, the plague, and famine, for I am going to make you a horrible thing in the sight of every kingdom on earth.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Isin naaf hin ajajamne; lammiiwwan keessaniifis bilisummaa hin labsine. Kanaafuu ani amma, ‘Bilisummaa isinii nan labsa’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Bilisummaan’ kunis bilisummaa goraadeedhaan, dhaʼichaa fi beelaan dhumuu ti. Ani fuula mootummoota lafaa hundaa durattis akka isin jibbamtan nan godha.
18 Then I will deal with the people who have broken my covenant, who did not keep the words of the covenant that they established before me when they cut a bull in two and walked between its parts,
Warra kakuu koo cabsanii walii galtee kakuu fuula koo duratti godhan sanaa hin eegin immoo akkuma jabbii isaan iddoo lamatti qoodanii gidduu isaanii baʼanii darban sanaa nan godha.
19 and then the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land walked between the parts of the bull.
Dura buutota Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem, qondaaltota mana murtii, lubootaa fi uummata biyyattii kanneen jabbii gargar qoodame sana gidduu baʼanii darban hunda,
20 I will give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who are seeking their lives. Their bodies will be food for the birds of the skies and the beasts on the earth.
dabarsee diinota lubbuu isaanii balleessuu barbaadanitti nan kenna. Reeffi isaanii allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata ni taʼa.
21 So I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his leaders into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who are seeking their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon that has risen up against you.
“Anis Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatii fi qondaaltota isaa dabarsee diinota isaanii warra lubbuu isaanii balleessuu barbaadanitti, loltoota mootii Baabilon kanneen isin loluu irraa deebiʼanitti nan kenna.
22 Look, I am about to give a command—this is Yahweh's declaration—and will bring them back to this city to wage war against it and take it, and to burn it. For I will turn the cities of Judah into ruined places in which there will be no inhabitants.'”
Ani ajaja kennee, gara magaalaa kanaatti deebisee isaan nan fida jedha Waaqayyo. Isaanis ishee ni lolu; qabataniis ibiddaan ishee gubu. Anis akka namni tokko iyyuu keessa hin jiraanneef magaalaawwan Yihuudaa nan onsa.”
