Jeremiah 31
1 At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, I am for God to all families of Israel, And they — they are to Me for a people.
“Yeroo sanatti” jedha Waaqayyo, “Ani balbala Israaʼel hundaaf Waaqa nan taʼa; isaanis saba koo ni taʼu.”
2 Thus said Jehovah: Found grace in the wilderness Hath a people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest — Israel.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Namoonni goraadee irraa hafan gammoojjii keessatti fudhatama ni argatu; anis Israaʼeliif boqonnaa kennuuf nan dhufa.”
3 From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee [with] kindness.
Waaqayyo fagoodhaa natti mulʼatee akkana jedhe: “Ani jaalala bara baraatiin si jaalladheera; kanaafuu ani arjummaa kootiin ofitti si harkiseera.
4 Again do I build thee, And thou hast been built, O virgin of Israel, Again thou puttest on thy tabrets, And hast gone out in the chorus of the playful.
Yaa Israaʼel durba qulqullittii, ani amma illee sin ijaara; atis deebitee ni ijaaramta. Ati amma illee dibbee kee fudhattee warra gammadan wajjin shuubbisuuf gad baata.
5 Again thou dost plant vineyards In mountains of Samaria, Planters have planted, and made common.
Ati amma illee gaarran Samaariyaa irratti wayinii ni dhaabbatta; qotee bulaanis wayinii dhaabbatee ija isaa ni nyaata.
6 For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim, 'Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God;
Guyyaa itti eegdonni gaarran Efreem irra dhaabatanii, ‘Kottaa gara Xiyoonitti, gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatti ol baanaa’ jedhanii iyyan tokko ni dhufa.”
7 For thus said Jehovah: Sing, O ye to Jacob, [with] joy, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound ye, praise ye, and say, Save, O Jehovah, thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yaaqoobiif gammachuudhaan faarfadhaa; hangafa sabootaatiif ililchaa. Galata keessan dhageessisaatii, ‘Yaa Waaqayyo saba kee, hambaa Israaʼel baraari’ jedhaa.
8 Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are] blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one — together, A great assembly — they turn back hither.
Kunoo, ani biyya kaabaatii isaan nan fida; handaara lafaatiis walitti isaan nan qaba. Isaan keessattis jaamotaa fi naafota, haadhota ulfaatii fi dubartoota ciniinsifatantu argama; saba guddaa taʼaniis ni deebiʼu.
9 With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way — they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim — My first-born [is] he.
Isaanis booʼaa dhufu; yeroo ani deebisee isaan fidutti Waaqa kadhatu. Waan ani abbaa Israaʼel taʼee fi Efreem immoo ilma koo hangafa taʼeef, ani qarqara burqaa bishaanii irra, daandii qajeelaa isaan achi irratti hin gufanne irra isaan nan qajeelcha.
10 Hear a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd [doth] his flock,
“Yaa saboota, dubbii Waaqayyo dhagaʼaa; isin, ‘Inni Israaʼelin bittinneesse sun walitti isaan qabee akkuma tiksee tokkootti bushaayee isaa ni tiksa’ jedhaatii biyyoota qarqara galaanaa kanneen fagoo jiranitti labsaa.
11 For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
Waaqayyo Yaaqoobin fureera, warra isa caalaa jajjaboo taʼan harkaas isa baaseeraatii.
12 And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more.
Isaan ni dhufanii gaarran Xiyoon irrattis gammadanii ililchu; isaan arjummaa Waaqayyootti jechuunis midhaanitti, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiitti, ilmoolee bushaayeettii fi jabbootaattis ni gammadu. Jireenyi isaanii akkuma biqiltuu bishaan quufee taʼa; isaan siʼachi hin gaddan.
13 Then rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men — together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,
Ergasiis shamarran ni shuubbisu; ni gammadu; dargaggoonnii fi maanguddoonni akkasuma ni gammadu. Ani booʼicha isaanii gammachuutti nan geeddara; qooda gaddaa jajjabinaa fi gammachuu nan kennaaf.
14 And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Ani arjummaadhaan luboota nan quubsa; sabni koos badhaadhummaa kootiin ni guutama,” jedha Waaqayyo.
15 Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Sagaleen booʼichaatii fi wawwaannaa guddaan tokko Raamaa keessaa dhagaʼame; sababii isaan hin jirreef, Raahel ijoollee isheetiif booʼaa jirti; jajjabaachuus ni didde.”
16 Thus said Jehovah: Withhold thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, For there is a reward for thy work, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have turned back from the land of the enemy.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Sagalee kee booʼicha irraa, ija kee immoo imimmaan irraa eeggadhu; hojiin kee ni badhaafamaatii” jedha Waaqayyo. “Isaan biyya diinaatii ni deebiʼu.
17 And there is hope for thy latter end, An affirmation of Jehovah, And the sons have turned back [to] their border.
Kanaafuu galgalli kee abdii qaba” jedha Waaqayyo. Ijoolleen kee biyya ofii isaaniitti ni deebiʼu.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, 'Thou hast chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For thou [art] Jehovah my God.
“Ani dhugumaan Efreemii akkana jedhee booʼu dhagaʼeera: ‘Ati akkuma dibicha hin leenjifamin tokkootti na adabdeerta; anis adabameera. Ati sababii Waaqayyo Waaqa koo taateef, na deebisi; anis nan deebiʼa.
19 For after my turning back I repented, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne the reproach of my youth.
Ani ergan duubatti deebiʼee booddee, qalbii jijjiirradheera; ani ergan hubadhee booddee, qoma koo nan dhaʼe. Ani sababiin salphina dargaggummaa koo baadhuuf, nan qaanaʼe; gad nan deebiʼes.’
20 A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Efreem ilma koo jaallatamaa, mucaa ani itti gammadu mitii? Ani yeroo baayʼee yoon isaan morme iyyuu amma illee isa nan yaadadha. Kanaafuu garaan koo isaaf ni yaada; garaas nan laafaaf” jedha Waaqayyo.
21 Set up for thee signs, make for thee heaps, Set thy heart to the highway, the way thou wentest, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back unto these thy cities.
“Ati mallattoo daandii dhaabbadhu; waan karaa nama argisiisu illee kaaʼadhu. Karaa irra deemtu, daandii guddaa sana hubadhu. Yaa Israaʼel durba qulqullittii deebiʼi; magaalaawwan keetti deebiʼi.
22 Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land, Woman doth compass man.
Yaa intala hin amanamne, ati hamma yoomiitti asii fi achi joorta? Waaqayyo waan haaraa tokko lafa irratti ni uuma; dubartiin dhiira marsiti.”
23 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Yeroo ani boojiʼamtoota isaanii deebisutti namoonni biyya Yihuudaatii fi magaalaawwan ishee keessa jiraatan amma illee yeroo tokko, ‘Yaa iddoo murtiin qajeelaan jiraatu, yaa tulluu qulqulluu, Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu’ jedhanii dubbatu.
24 And dwelt in Judah have husbandmen, and in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
Biyya Yihuudaatii fi magaalaawwan isaa hunda keessa namoonni jechuunis qonnaan bultoonnii fi warri bushaayee fudhatanii asii fi achi nanaannaʼan tokkummaadhaan achi keessa jiraatu.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, And every grieved soul I have filled.'
Ani warra dadhaban nan jajjabeessa; warra gaggaban illee nan bayyanachiisa.”
26 On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.
Kana irratti ani dammaqee asii fi achi nan ilaale. Hirribni koos natti miʼaawee ture.
27 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man, and seed of beast.
“Barri ani itti mana Israaʼelii fi mana Yihuudaa sanyii namaatii fi sanyii horiitiin guutu tokko ni dhufa” jedha Waaqayyo.
28 And it hath been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So do I watch over them to build, and to plant, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Ani akkuman isaan buqqisuu fi diiguuf, isaan garagalchuuf, isaan barbadeessuu fi badiisa isaanitti fiduuf isaan ilaale sana akkasuma immoo isaan ijaaruu fi isaan dhaabuuf gara isaanii nan ilaala” jedha Waaqayyo.
29 In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted.
“Bara sana keessa namoonni lammata, “‘Abbootiin isaanii ija wayinii dhangaggaaʼaa nyaannaan ilkaan ijoollee hadoode’ hin jedhan.
30 But — each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
Qooda kanaa tokkoon tokkoon namaa cubbuu ofii isaatiin duʼa; nama ija wayinii dhangaggaaʼaa nyaatu kam iyyuu ilkaanuma isaatu hadooda.
31 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new covenant,
“Yeroon ani itti mana Israaʼel wajjin, mana Yihuudaa wajjinis kakuu haaraa galu ni dhufa,” jedha Waaqayyo.
32 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them — an affirmation of Jehovah.
“Kakuun kunis kakuu ani, yeroo biyya Gibxiitii isaan baasuuf jedhee harka isaanii qabe sana abbootii isaanii wajjin gale, kakuu koo kan utuma ani dhirsa isaanii taʼee jiruu isaan cabsan sanaan tokko miti” jedha Waaqayyo.
33 For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.
“Kakuun ani yeroo sana booddee mana Israaʼel wajjin galu kanaa dha” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani seera koo qalbii isaanii keessa nan kaaʼa; garaa isaanii keessattis nan barreessa. Ani Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; isaanis saba koo taʼu.
34 And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.
Sababii hundi isaanii, xinnaa hamma guddaatti na beekaniif, siʼachi namni kam iyyuu, ‘Waaqayyoon beeki’ jedhee ollaa isaa yookaan obboleessa isaa hin barsiisu” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani yakka isaanii nan dhiisaaf; cubbuu isaaniis siʼachi hin yaadadhu.”
35 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name:
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; inni akka isheen guyyaan ibsituuf aduu ramadu, inni akka isaan halkaniin ibsaniif, jiʼaa fi urjiiwwan ajaju, inni akka dambaliin isaa huursuuf galaana raasu sun maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha:
36 If these statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation before Me all the days.
“Yoo seerri kun fuula koo duraa bade qofa, sanyiin Israaʼel, fuula koo duratti bara baraan saba taʼuun isaa hafa” jedha Waaqayyo.
37 Thus said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yoo samiin gubbaa safaramuu dandaʼee fi hundeen lafaa kan gadii qoratamee argamuu dandaʼe qofa ani sanyii Israaʼel hunda sababii waan isaan hojjetan hundaatiif nan gata” jedha Waaqayyo.
38 Lo, days [are coming], an affirmation of Jehovah, And the city hath been built to Jehovah, From the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Barri itti magaalaan kun gamoo Hanaaniʼeeliitii jalqabee hamma Karra Goleetti deebiʼee naaf ijaaramu tokko ni dhufa.
39 And gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah.
Funyoon safaraas achii kaʼee gara tulluu Gaareebitti qajeelee gara Goʼaatti diriirfama.
40 And all the valley of the carcases and of the ashes, And all the fields unto the brook Kidron, Unto the corner of the horse-gate eastward, [Are] holy to Jehovah, it is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down any more to the age!
Sululli reeffii fi daaraan itti gatamu guutuun, karaa baʼaas sulula Qeedroon qabatee dirreen hamma Karra Fardaatti jiru hundi Waaqayyoof ni qulqulleeffama. Magaalaan kun gonkumaa lammaffaa hin buqqifamtu yookaan hin diigamtu.”
