Jeremiah 22
1 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Gara masaraa Mootii Yihuudaatti gad buʼiitii akkana jedhii ergaa kana achitti labsi;
2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter by these gates:
‘Yaa Mootii Yihuudaa, ati kan teessoo Daawit irra teessu, ati, qondaaltonni keetii fi sabni kee warri karra kanaan ol galtan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver him that is laid waste out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe hojjedhaa. Nama saamame tokko harka nama isa cunqursuutii baasaa. Alagaatti, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnetti yookaan haadha hiyyeessaatti daba yookaan jalʼina hin hojjetinaa; dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnees iddoo kanatti hin dhangalaasinaa.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter, by the gates of this house, kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
Yoo isin ajajawwan kanneen sirriitti eegdan mootonni teessoo Daawit irra taaʼan, qondaaltotaa fi saba isaanii wajjin gaarii moototaatii fi fardeen yaabbatanii karrawwan masaraa mootummaa kanaan ol galu.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
Yoo isin ajajawwan kanneen eeguu baattan garuu akka masaraan mootummaa kun barbadeeffamu ani maqaa kootiin kakadheera, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
6 For thus saith the LORD to the king's house of Judah; Thou [art] Gilead to me, [and] the head of Lebanon; [yet] surely I will make thee a wilderness, [and] cities [which] are not inhabited.
Waaqayyo waaʼee masaraa mootii Yihuudaa akkana jedhaatii: “Ati akka Giliʼaad, akka fiixee Libaanoon naaf taate iyyuu, ani dhugumaan akka gammoojjii, akka magaalaawwan namni keessa hin jiraannee sin taasisa.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Ani balleessitoota tokkoon tokkoon isaanii miʼa lolaa qabatan, sitti nan erga; isaanis birbirsa kee filatamaa ni ciru; ibiddattis ni naqu.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why hath the LORD done thus to this great city?
“Namoonni biyya hedduus yommuu magaalaa kana biraan darbanitti, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif magaalaa guddaa kanatti waan akkanaa fide?’ jedhanii wal gaafatu.
9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.
Isaanis, ‘Sababii isaan kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii dhiisanii waaqota biraa waaqeffatanii tajaajilaniifii dha’ jedhanii deebisu.”
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: [but] weep bitterly for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Isin nama duʼeef hin booʼinaa yookaan hin gaddinaa; qooda kanaa nama boojiʼameef hiqqifadhaa booʼaa; inni lammata hin deebiʼu yookaan biyya itti dhalate hin arguutii.
11 For thus saith the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place; He shall not return thither any more:
Waaqayyo waaʼee Shaluum ilma Yosiyaas kan qooda abbaa isaa mootii Yihuudaa taʼee garuu iddoo kanaa deeme sanaa akkana jedhaatii: “Inni gonkumaa hin deebiʼu.
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
Inni iddoo boojiʼamee itti geeffame sanatti duʼa; biyya kanas lammaffaa hin argu.”
13 Woe to him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; [that] useth his neighbor's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
“Nama ollaa isaa utuu gatii humna isaa hin kenniniif akkasumaan hojjechiifachuudhaan mana isaa karaa qajeelaa hin taʼiniin, kutaa isaa kan mana gubbaa immoo karaa sirrii hin taʼiniin ijaarratuuf wayyoo.
14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and [it is] ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Inni, ‘Ani masaraa guddaa tokko, kutaa mana gubbaa balʼaa isaa wajjin ofii kootiif nan ijaarradha’ jedha. Kanaafuu inni foddaawwan itti baasee muka birbirsaatiin bareechee halluu diimaadhaan miidhagsa.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest [thyself] in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and] then [it was] well with him?
“Birbirsa hedduu qabaachuun kee mootii si taasisaa? Abbaan kee nyaataa dhugaatii hin qabu turee? Inni waan qajeelaa fi haqa hojjete; kanaafuu wanni hundinuu ni qajeeleef.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] well [with him]: [was] not this to know me? saith the LORD.
Inni hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattootaaf ni falme; kanaafuu wanni hundi ni qajeeleef. Na beekuu jechuun kanuma mitii?” jedha Waaqayyo.
17 But thy eyes and thy heart [are] only for thy covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do [it].
Iji keetii fi garaan kee garuu buʼaa karaa hin maliniin argamu irra, dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnee dhangalaasuu irra, cunqursaa fi goolii kaasuu qofa irra buʼeera.
18 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo waaʼee Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa, ilma Yosiyaas akkana jedha: “Isaan, ‘Anaaf wayyoo, yaa obboleessa koo! Anaaf wayyoo, yaa obboleettii koo!’ jedhanii hin booʼaniif. Isaan, ‘Anaaf wayyoo, yaa gooftaa koo! Anaaf wayyoo yaa ulfina isaa!’ jedhanii hin booʼaniif.
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Inni awwaala harree argata, jechuunis lafa irra harkifamee karrawwan Yerusaalem keessaa gad baafamee gatama.”
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
“Libaanoonitti ol baʼii iyyi; sagaleen kee Baashaan keessatti haa dhagaʼamu; Abaariim keessaas iyyi; michoonni kee hundi barbadeeffamaniiruutii.
21 I spoke to thee in thy prosperity; [but] thou saidest, I will not hear. This [hath been] thy manner from thy youth, that thou hast not obeyed my voice.
Ani yeroo ati nagaa qabdutti si akeekkachiiseen ture; ati garuu, ‘Ani hin dhaggeeffadhu!’ jette. Kun ijoollummaa keetii jalqabee amala kee ture; ati naaf hin ajajamne.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
Tiksoota kee hunda bubbeen fudhatee sokka; michoonni kees ni boojiʼamu. Sababii hammina kee hundaatiif ati ni qaanofta; ni salphattas.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
Ati kan Libaanoon keessa jiraattu, kan muka birbirsaatiin mana ijaarrattu, yeroo dhiphinni si qabee akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattu tokkoo miixattutti ati akkam aadda!
24 [As] I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
“Akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼe” jedha Waaqayyo; “Yaa Yehooyaakiin mooticha Yihuudaa, ilma Yehooyaaqiim, yoo ati qubeelaa chaappaa harka koo mirgaa taatee illee ani baaseen si gata.
25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand [of them] whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Ani warra lubbuu kee galaafachuu barbaadanitti, warra ati sodaattu jechuunis Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonii fi Baabilonotatti dabarsee sin kenna.
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bore thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
Ani siʼii fi haadha si deesse biyya biraatti, biyya tokkoon keessan iyyuu itti hin dhalatinitti isin nan darbadhaa; isin lachuu achitti duutu.
27 But to the land to which they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
Isin biyya itti deebiʼuu hawwitanitti gonkumaa hin deebitan.”
28 [Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol? [is he] a vessel in which [is] no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
Yehooyaakiin kun nama akkuma okkotee cabaa tuffatame, miʼa namni tokko iyyuu hin barbaanneedhaa? Ijoolleen isaatii fi inni maaliif darbatamanii biyya hin beeknetti gatamani?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Yaa lafaa, yaa lafaa, yaa lafaa, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi!
30 Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man [that] shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Namicha kana akka nama ijoollee hin qabne tokkootti, akka nama bara jireenya isaa keessa hin milkoofne tokkootti galmeessaa; sanyii isaa keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin milkaaʼu, namni tokko iyyuu teessoo Daawit irra hin taaʼu, yookaan siʼachi Yihuudaa hin bulchuutii.”
