Jeremiah 42
1 And they come nigh — all the heads of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest —
Ergasii ajajjoonni waraanaa hundi Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaatii fi Yezaaniyaa ilma Hooshaʼiyaa dabalatee, namni hundi, xinnaa guddaan dhufanii
2 and they say unto Jeremiah the prophet, 'Let, we pray thee, our supplication fall before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out of many, as thine eyes do see us;
Ermiyaas raajichaan akkana jedhan; “Maaloo kadhaa keenya dhagaʼiitii hambaa kana hundaaf Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kadhadhu. Nu dur baayʼee turre; amma garuu akkuma ati argitu kana nu nama muraasa qofattu hafe.
3 and Jehovah thy God doth declare to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.'
Akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee gara nu dhaquu qabnuu fi waan nu gochuu qabnu nutti himuuf nuu kadhadhu.”
4 And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto them, 'I have heard: lo, I am praying unto Jehovah your God according to your words, and it hath come to pass, the whole word that Jehovah answereth you, I declare to you — I do not withhold from you a word.'
Ermiyaas raajichis, “Ani isin dhagaʼeera; akkuma isin na gaafattan sana ani dhugumaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan nan kadhadha. Waan Waaqayyo dubbatu hundas isinitti nan hima; waan tokko illees isin hin dhoksu” jedhee deebise.
5 And they have said to Jeremiah, 'Jehovah is against us for a witness true and faithful, if — according to all the word with which Jehovah thy God doth send thee unto us — we do not so.
Jarris Ermiyaasiin akkana jedhan; “Yoo nu akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati nutti himtuuf si erge sana gochuu baanne Waaqayyo mataan isaa dhuga baatuu dhugaatii fi amanamaa nutti haa taʼu.
6 Whether good or evil, to the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we are sending thee, we do hearken; because it is good for us when we hearken to the voice of Jehovah our God.'
Akka yeroo nu dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatiif ajajamnutti wanni hundi nutti toluuf yoo wanni sun jaallatamaa yookaan jibbamaa taʼe illee nu dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa kan itti si erganne sanaatiif ni ajajamna.”
7 And it cometh to pass, at the end of ten days, that there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoos guyyaa kudhan booddee gara Ermiyaas dhufe.
8 and he calleth unto Johanan son of Kareah, and unto all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, and to all the people, from the least even unto the greatest,
Kanaafuu inni Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoota waraanaa kanneen isa wajjin turan hunda, akkasumas nama xinnaa guddaa hunda walitti waame.
9 and he saith unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall before Him:
Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni isin akka ani iyyata keessan itti isinii dhiʼeessuuf itti na ergitan sun akkana jedha:
10 'If ye do certainly dwell in this land, then I have builded you up, and I throw not down; and I have planted you, and I pluck not up; for I have repented concerning the evil that I have done to you.
‘Yoo biyya kana keessa turtan, ani isinan ijaara malee isin hin diigu; ani isinan dhaaba malee isin hin buqqisu; ani badiisa isinitti fide sanaaf gaabbeeraatii.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, whom ye are afraid of; be not afraid of him — an affirmation of Jehovah — for with you [am] I, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Mootii Baabilon isa amma sodaattan kana hin sodaatinaa. Ani isin baraaree harka isaatii isin baasuuf isin wajjin jiraatii. Isa hin sodaatinaa, jedha Waaqayyo.
12 And I give to you mercies, and he hath pitied you, and caused you to turn back unto your own ground.
Ani akka inni garaa isinii laafee biyya keessanitti isin deebisuuf garaa isiniif nan laafa.’
13 'And if ye are saying, We do not dwell in this land — not to hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God,
“Garuu yoo isin, ‘Nu biyya kana keessa hin turru’ jettanii akkasiin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif ajajamuu diddan,
14 saying, No; but the land of Egypt we enter, that we see no war, and the sound of a trumpet do not hear, and for bread be not hungry; and there do we dwell.
amma illee yoo isin, ‘Hin taʼu, nu biyya Gibxi keessa iddoo itti waraana hin argine yookaan malakata hin dhageenye yookaan iddoo itti hin beelofne sana dhaqnee achi jiraanna’ jettan,
15 And now, therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: If ye really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone in to sojourn there,
egaa yaa hambaa Yihuudaa, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa. Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Yoo isin biyya Gibxitti galuu barbaaddanii achi jiraachuu dhaqxan,
16 then it hath come to pass, the sword that ye are afraid of, doth there overtake you, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which ye are sorrowful, doth there cleave after you in Egypt, and there ye die.
goraadeen isin sodaattan sun achumatti isin argata; beelli isin sodaattanis hamma Gibxitti isin faana buʼa; isinis achitti dhumtu.
17 'Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there; they die — by sword, by hunger, and by pestilence, and there is not to them a remnant and an escaped one, because of the evil that I am bringing in upon them;
Dhugumaan warri biyya Gibxitti galanii achi qubachuu barbaadan hundi goraadeen, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan dhumu; isaan keessaa namni badiisa ani isaanitti fidu jalaa baʼu yookaan miliqu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.’
18 for thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: As poured out hath been Mine anger and My fury on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so poured out is My fury upon you in your entering Egypt, and ye have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and ye do not see any more this place.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Akkuma aariin koo fi dheekkamsi koo warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan irratti dhangalaʼe sana, yoo isin biyya Gibxitti galtan dheekkamsi koo isin irratti ni dhangalaʼa. Isinis waan abaarsaa, waan sodaa, waan yakkaatii fi waan fafaa ni taatu; iddoo kana illee gonkumaa deebitanii hin argitan.’
19 'Jehovah hath spoken against you, O remnant of Judah, do not enter Egypt: know certainly that I have testified against you to-day;
“Yaa hambaa Yihuudaa Waaqayyo, ‘Biyya Gibxi hin dhaqinaa’ isiniin jedheera. Waan kana qalbeeffadhaa: Ani harʼa isin akeekkachiisaatii;
20 for ye have shewed yourselves perverse in your souls, for ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God, and according to all that Jehovah our God saith, so declare to us, and we have done [it];
Isin gaafa ‘Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya nuu kadhadhu; waan inni dubbate hundas nutti himi; nus ni ajajamnaaf’ jettanii gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii na ergitan sana balleessaa guddaa hojjettan.
21 and I declare to you to-day, and ye have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah your God, and to anything with which He hath sent me unto you.
Ani harʼa isinitti himeera; isin garuu waan inni akka ani isinitti himuuf na erge sana hundaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif hin ajajamne.
22 And now, know ye certainly that by sword, by famine, and by pestilence ye die, in the place that ye have desired to go in to sojourn there.'
Kanaafuu isin amma waan kana qalbeeffadhaa: Isin iddoo jiraachuu dhaquu feetan sana keessatti goraadeen, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan ni dhumtu.”
