< Jeremiah 20 >

1 And Pashhur son of Immer the priest — who also [is] overseer, leader in the house of Jehovah — heareth Jeremiah prophesying these things,
Phaashihuur lubichi, ilmi Imeerii inni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti bulchaa hangafa ture sun yommuu Ermiyaasii waan kana raaju dhagaʼetti,
2 and Pashhur smiteth Jeremiah the prophet, and putteth him unto the stocks, that [are] by the high gate of Benjamin, that [is] by the house of Jehovah.
akka Ermiyaas raajichi tumamee Karra Beniyaam isa ol aanu kan mana Waaqayyoo biratti argamu sana keessatti miilli isaa jirma lama gidduu galee hidhamu godhe.
3 and it cometh to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur bringeth out Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah saith unto him, 'Not Pashhur hath Jehovah called thy name, but — Magor-Missabib.
Ermiyaasis guyyaa itti aanu yeroo Phaashihuur jirma lamaan gidduudhaa isa baasetti akkana jedheen; “Maqaan Waaqayyo siif baase Maagormiisaabiib malee Phaashihuur miti.
4 For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am making thee for a fear to thyself, And to all loving thee, And they have fallen by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes are beholding, And all Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath removed them to Babylon, And he hath smitten them with the sword.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; ‘Ani akka ati ofii keetii fi michoota keetti sodaachisaa taatu sin godha; yeroo isaan goraadee diinota isaaniitiin dhuman ijuma keetiin argita. Ani Yihuudaa hunda dabarsee mootii Baabiloniitti nan kenna; innis Baabilonitti isaan geessa yookaan goraadeedhaan isaan fixa.
5 And I have given all the strength of this city, And all its labour, and all its precious things, Yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah I do give into the hand of their enemies, And they have spoiled them, and taken them, And have brought them into Babylon.
Ani qabeenya magaalaa kanaa hunda jechuunis oomisha ishee hunda, waan gatii guddaa qabu hundaa fi badhaadhummaa mootota Yihuudaa hunda dabarsee diinota isaaniitti nan kenna. Isaanis boojiʼanii fudhatanii Baabilonitti isaan geessan.
6 And thou, Pashhur, and all dwelling in thy house, Do go into captivity. and Babylon thou dost enter, And there thou diest, and there thou art buried, Thou and all loving thee, To whom thou hast prophesied falsely.'
Yaa Phaashihuur ati, warri mana kee jiraatan hundis boojiʼamtanii Baabilonitti geeffamtu. Atii fi michoota kee warri ati raajii sobaa dubbatteef hundi achitti duutanii awwaalamtu.’”
7 Thou hast persuaded me, O Jehovah, and I am persuaded; Thou hast hardened me, and dost prevail, I have been for a laughter all the day, Every one is mocking at me,
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na gowwoomsite; anis nan gowwoomfame; ati humnaan na caaltee na moʼatte. Ani guyyaa guutuu waan kolfaa nan taʼe; namni hundis natti qoosa.
8 Because from the time I speak I cry out, 'Violence and destruction,' I cry, For the word of Jehovah hath been to me For reproach and for derision all the day.
Ani yeroon dubbadhu hunda nan iyya; “Goolii, badiisa” jedhees nan labsa. Kanaafuu dubbiin Waaqayyo guyyaa guutuu arrabsoo fi tuffii natti fide.
9 And I said, 'I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more in His name,' And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.
Garuu yoo ani, “Ani maqaa isaa hin dhaʼu yookaan siʼachi maqaa isaatiin hin dubbadhu” jedhe, dubbiin isaa onnee koo keessatti akka ibiddaa, akkuma ibidda lafee koo keessatti ukkaamsameera. Ani of keessatti isa qabachuu nan dadhabe; dhuguma iyyuu ani hin dandaʼu.
10 For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear [is] round about: 'Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are watching [for] my halting, 'Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.'
Ani hasaasa, “Karaa hundaan sodaa! Isa balaaleffadhaa! Isa haa balaaleffannu!” jedhu hedduu nan dhagaʼa. Michoonni koo hundi, “Inni ni gowwoomfama taʼa; nus ergasii isa ni moʼanna; haaloo keenya illee ni baafanna” jechaa kufaatii koo eeggatu.
11 And Jehovah [is] with me, as a terrible mighty one, Therefore my persecutors stumble and prevail not, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Confusion age-during is not forgotten.
Waaqayyo garuu akkuma goota humna qabeessa tokkootti na wajjin jira; kanaafuu warri na adamsan ni gufatu malee hin moʼatan. Isaan baayʼee qaaneffaman; hin milkaaʼaniitii; salphinni isaanii gonkumaa hin irraanfatamu.
12 And, O Jehovah of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance out of them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.
Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kan nama qajeelaa qortu, kan garaa fi yaada namaa keessa argitu, ani falmii koo sitti kennadheeraatii ati yeroo isaanitti haaloo baatu na argisiisi.
13 Sing ye to Jehovah, praise Jehovah, For He hath delivered the soul of the needy From the hand of evil doers.
Waaqayyoof faarfadhaa! Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa! Inni lubbuu namoota hiyyeeyyii harka hamootaatii ni baasa.
14 Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bare me, Let it not be blessed!
Guyyaan ani dhaladhe haa abaaramu! Guyyaan haati koo na deesse sunis hin eebbifamin!
15 Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, saying, 'Born to thee hath been a child — a male,' Making him very glad!
Namichi, “Daaʼimni tokko jechuunis ilmi siif dhalatee jira!” jedhee abbaa kootiif oduu fidee akka malee isa gammachiise sun haa abaaramu!
16 Then hath that man been as the cities, That Jehovah overthrew, and repented not, And he hath heard a cry at morning, And a shout at time of noon.
Namichi sun akkuma magaalaawwan Waaqayyo gara laafina malee garagalchee haa taʼu. Inni ganamaan wawwaannaa, saafaan immoo iyya waraanaa haa dhagaʼu.
17 Because he hath not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me — my grave, And her womb a pregnancy age-during.
Akka haati koo awwaala naa taatuuf, akka gadameessi ishees iddoo jireenya bara baraa naaf taʼuuf inni utuu ani gadameessa keessaa hin baʼin na hin ajjeefneetii.
18 Why [is] this? from the womb I have come out, To see labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days!
Ani maaliifan rakkinaa fi gadda arguuf jireenya koos qaaniin fixuuf gadameessa keessaa baʼe?
