Jeremiah 13
1 Thus saith the LORD to me, Go and get for thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Dhaqiitii sabbata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame bitadhuu mudhii keetti hidhadhu; garuu bishaan hin tuqsiisin.”
2 So I procured a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put [it] on my loins.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma Waaqayyo na ajajetti sabbata bitadhee mudhii kootti nan hidhadhe.
3 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee yeroo lammaffaa gara koo dhufe:
4 Take the girdle that thou hast procured, which [is] upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
“Sabbata bitattee mudhiitti hidhatte sana fuudhiitii gara Laga Efraaxiis dhaqi; sabbata sanas baqaqaa kattaa keessa dhoksi.”
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma Waaqayyo na ajajetti dhaqee sabbata sana Laga Efraaxiis bira nan dhokse.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Bultii hedduu booddee Waaqayyo, “Amma gara Efraaxiis dhaqiitii sabbata ani akka ati achitti dhoksitu si ajaje sana fudhadhu” naan jedhe.
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Kanaafuu ani gara Efraaxiis dhaqee sabbata sana iddoon itti dhoksee ture sanaa qotee baasee nan fudhadhe; sabbanni sun garuu yeroo sanatti ciccitee guutumaan guutuutti horoomaa baʼee ture.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
9 Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani haaluma wal fakkaatuun of tuulummaa Yihuudaatii fi of tuulummaa Yerusaalem guddaa sana nan balleessa.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Sabni hamaan dubbii koo dhagaʼuu didee mata jabina garaa isaa duukaa buʼee waaqota biraa tajaajiluu fi waaqeffachuuf isaan faana buʼe kun akkuma sabbata kanaa ni taʼa; guutumaan guutuuttis horoomaa baʼa.
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Akkuma sabbanni tokko mudhii namaatti hidhamu sana anis akka isaan saba, maqaa, galataa fi ulfina naa taʼaniif guutummaa mana Israaʼelii fi guutummaa mana Yihuudaa ofitti maxxanseen ture. Isaan garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne’ jedha Waaqayyo.
12 Therefore thou shalt speak to them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say to thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
“Ati akkana isaaniin jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: qalqalloon daadhii wayinii hundi daadhii wayiniitiin guutamuu qaba.’ Yoo isaan, ‘Nu akka qalqalloon daadhii wayinii hundi daadhii wayiniitiin guutamuu qabu hin beeknuu?’ siin jedhan,
13 Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
ati akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani namoota biyya kana keessa jiraatan hunda, mootota teessoo Daawit irra taaʼan, luboota, raajotaa fi warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hunda machiidhaan nan guuta.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Ani tokkoo tokkoo isaanii walittin buusa; abbootii fi ilmaanis akkasuma walitti nan buusa, jedha Waaqayyo. Ani isaan nan balleessa malee isaaniif hin naʼu yookaan isaaniif hin araaramu yookaan garaa hin laafuuf.’”
15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.
Dhagaʼaa; qalbeeffadhaas; of hin tuulinaa; Waaqayyo dubbateeraatii.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he shall cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and while ye look for light, he shall turn it into the shades of death, [and] make [it] gross darkness.
Utuu inni dukkana hin fidin, utuu miilli keessan tulluu dukkanaaʼaa jiru irratti hin gufatin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif ulfina kennaa. Isin ifa abdattu; inni garuu ifa sana dimimmisatti deebisee dukkana duudaatti geeddara.
17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for [your] pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.
Yoo isin dhagaʼuu baattan garuu, sababii of tuulummaa keessaniitiif lubbuun koo dhoksaatti ni boossi; sababii bushaayeen Waaqayyoo boojuun fuudhamaniif iji koo akka malee boossee imimmaan ishee keessaa ni rooba.
18 Say to the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, [even] the crown of your glory.
Mootichaa fi haadha mootichaatiin, “Teessoo keessan irraa buʼaa; gonfoon keessan ulfina qabeessi sun mataa keessan irraa ni buʼaatii” jedhi.
19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open [them]; Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
Magaalaawwan Negeeb ni cufamu; namni isaan banu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Yihuudaan hundi ni boojiʼamti; guutumaan guutuuttis biyyaa fudhatamti.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where [is] the flock [that] was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
Ija keessan ol fudhadhaatii warra gama kaabaatii dhufaa jiran ilaalaa. Bushaayeen imaanaa sitti kennaman, hoolonni ati ittiin boonte sun eessa jiru?
21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them [to be] captains, [and] as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
Yommuu Waaqayyo warra ati akka isaan michoota siif taʼaniif leenjifte sana sirratti muudutti ati maal jetta? Akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattu tokkoo dhiphinni si hin qabuu?
22 And if thou shalt say in thy heart, Why come these things upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, [and] thy heels made bare.
Yoo ati, “Wanni kun maaliif natti dhufe?” jettee of gaafatte wanni wandaboon kee sirraa mulqamee dhagni kee salphifameef sababii cubbuu kee baayʼee sanaatiif.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? [then] may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Namni Itoophiyaa tokko bifa isaa yookaan qeerransi buburrina isaa geeddaruu ni dandaʼaa? Isin warri hammina hojjechuu barattanis waan gaarii hojjechuu hin dandeessan.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
“Akkuma bubbeen gammoojjii habaqii bittinneessu sana anis isin nan bittinneessa.
25 This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Sababii ati na irraanfattee waaqota sobaa amanatteef, kun ixaa kee, qooda ani siif safaree dha” jedha Waaqayyo.
26 Therefore will I uncover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
“Akka qaaniin kee mulʼatuuf ani wandaboo kee fuula keetti ol nan soqola.
27 I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighings, the enormity of thy lewdness, [and] thy abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to thee O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when [shall it] once [be]?
Ejjummaa fi himimsuun kee, sagaagalummaan kee kan qaanii hin qabne sunis ni mulʼata! Ani hojii kee jibbisiisaa sana gaarran irraa fi bakkee keessatti argeera. Yaa Yerusaalem, siif wayyoo! Ati hamma yoomiitti xurooftee hafta?”
