< Jeremiah 17 >

1 The sin of Judah [is] written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of a diamond: [it is] graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
“Cubbuun Yihuudaa meeshaa sibiilaatiin qirixaameera; qara dhagaatiinis gabatee garaa isaanii irrattii fi gaanfa iddoo aarsaa isaanii irratti barreeffameera.
2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
Ijoolleen isaanii iyyuu iddoowwan aarsaa isaaniitii fi siidaa Aasheeraa kanneen mukkeen lalisaa cinaatii fi gaarran ol dheeroo irraa sana yaadatan.
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance [and] all thy treasures to the spoil, [and] thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
Ani sababii cubbuu biyya kee guute sanaatiif tulluu koo kan biyya keessaa, qabeenya keetii fi badhaadhummaa kee hunda iddoo ol kaʼaa kee wajjin dabarsee boojuuf nan kenna.
4 And thou, even thyself, shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in my anger, [which] shall burn for ever.
Ati dogoggora mataa keetiitiin dhaala ani siif kenne ni dhabda. Ani biyya ati hin beekne keessatti diinota keetiif sin garboomsa; ati dheekkamsa koo qabsiifteertaatii; innis bara baraan ni bobaʼa.”
5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Namni nama amanatu, kan jabina foonii irree isaa godhatu, kan garaan isaa Waaqayyo irraa garagalu abaaramaa dha.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [in] a salt land and not inhabited.
Inni akka daggala gammoojjii keessaa taʼa; yeroo wanni gaariin dhufutti hin argu. Inni gammoojjii keessaa iddoo gogaa biyya soogiddaa kan namni tokko iyyuu hin jiraanne keessa jiraata.
7 Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
“Namni Waaqayyoon amanatu, kan abdiin isaas isuma taʼe garuu eebbifamaa dha.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be anxious in the year of drouth, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Inni akkuma muka qarqara bishaanii dhaabame, kan hidda isaa ededa lagaa irra yaafatuu taʼa. Yommuu hoʼi dhufu hin sodaatu; baalli isaa yeroo hunda lalisaa dha. Mukni sun bara hongee illee hin yaaddaʼu; ija naqachuus hin dhiisu.”
9 The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Garaan namaa waan hunda caalaa haxxee dha; garmalees hamaa dha. Eenyutu isa hubachuu dandaʼa?
10 I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.
“Ani Waaqayyo nama hundaaf akkuma amala isaatti, akkuma waan hojii isaatiif maluutti gatii isaaf kennuuf garaa isaa nan sakattaʼa; qalbii isaas nan qora.”
11 [As] the partridge sitteth [on eggs], and hatcheth [them] not; [so] he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Namni karaa hin malleen badhaadhummaa walitti qabatu akkuma gogorrii hanqaaquu hin hanqaaqin hammattu ti. Walakkaa umurii isaatti badhaadhummaan sun isa dhiisee bada; dhuma irrattis gowwaa taʼuun isaa ni mirkaneeffama.
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning [is] the place of our sanctuary.
Teessoon ulfina qabeessi durumaa jalqabee ol ol jedhu sun, iddoo qulqullummaa keenyaa ti.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, [and] they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Yaa Waaqayyo, abdii Israaʼel, warri si dhiisan hundi ni qaaneffamu. Warri sirraa garagalan biyyoo keessatti galmeeffamaniiru; isaan Waaqayyoon burqaa bishaan jireenyaa dhiisaniiruutii.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou [art] my praise.
Yaa Waaqayyo na fayyisi; anis nan fayyaa; na oolchi, anis nan oolfama; kan ani jajadhu sumaatii.
15 Behold, they say to me, Where [is] the word of the LORD? let it come now.
Isaan ittuma fufanii, “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo eessa jira? Mee amma haa raawwatamu!” naan jedhu.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from [being] a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which was uttered by my lips was [right] before thee.
Ani tiksee taʼee si tajaajiluu irraa duubatti hin deebine; ati akka ani guyyaa badiisaa hin hawwine ni beekta. Wanni afaan kootii baʼu fuuluma kee dura jira.
17 Be not a terror to me: thou [art] my hope in the day of evil.
Ati na hin rifachiisin; guyyaa badiisaatti ati daʼoo koo ti.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Warri na adamsan haa qaaneffaman; ana garuu qaanii irraa na oolchi; isaan haa rifatan; ana garuu rifaatii irraa na eegi. Guyyaa badiisaa isaanitti fidi; badiisa dachaatiin isaan balleessi.
19 Thus said the LORD to me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Dhaqiitii karra uummataa karaa mootonni Yihuudaa ittiin seenanii baʼan dura dhaabadhu; akkasumas karrawwan Yerusaalem kaan hunda dura dhaabadhu.
20 And say to them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter by these gates:
Akkanas isaaniin jedhi; ‘Yaa mootota Yihuudaa, sabni Yihuudaa hundii fi namoonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraattan kanneen karra kanaan ol galtan hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
21 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka guyyaa Sanbataatiin baʼaa hin baanne yookaan karrawwan Yerusaalemiin ol hin galchine of eeggadhaa.
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Akkuma ani abbootii keessan ajajetti guyyaa Sanbataa kabajaa malee guyyaa Sanbataatiin mana keessanii baʼaa gad hin baasinaa yookaan hojii kam iyyuu hin hojjetinaa.
23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
Taʼus isaan hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne; garuu akka hin dhageenyee fi akka qajeelfama hin fudhanneef mataa jabaatan.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken to me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; yoo isin na dhageessanii guyyaa Sanbataatiin baʼaa tokko illee karrawwan magaalaa kanaatiin ol galchuu dhiiftanii qooda kanaa gaafas hojii kam iyyuu hojjechuu dhiisuudhaan guyyaa Sanbataa addaan baaftanii eegdan,
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
mootonni teessoo Daawit irra taaʼan qondaaltota isaanii wajjin karrawwan magaalaa kanaatiin ol seenu. Isaanis qondaaltota isaanii wajjin gaariiwwanii fi fardeen yaabbatanii namoota Yihuudaatii fi warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan wajjin ni dhufu; magaalaan kunis magaalaa namni bara baraan keessa jiraatu ni taʼa.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and meat-offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, to the house of the LORD.
Namoonnis magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi gandoota naannoo Yerusaalemiitii, biyya Beniyaamiitii fi biyya gaara keessaatii, biyya gaaraatii fi Negeebii aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma, aarsaa midhaanii, ixaanaa fi aarsaa galataa fidanii gara mana Waaqayyoo ni dhufu.
27 But if ye will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Yoo isin guyyaa Sanbataa addaan baaftanii eeguuf jettanii guyyaa Sanbataatiin baʼaa tokko iyyuu baattanii karrawwan Yerusaalemiin ol seenuu dhiisuudhaan anaaf ajajamuu baattan garuu ani ibidda hin dhaamne tokko karrawwan Yerusaalemitti nan qabsiisa; ibiddi sunis daʼannoowwan Yerusaalem gubee barbadeessa.’”
