Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, They bring the bones of the kings of Judah, And the bones of its princes, And the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves,
“‘Bara sana lafeen moototaatii fi qondaaltota Yihuudaa, lafeen lubootaatii fi raajotaa, lafeen namoota Yerusaalem awwaala isaanii keessaa ni baafama’ jedha Waaqayyo.
2 And have spread them to sun, and to moon, And to all the host of the heavens, that they have loved, And that they have served, And that they have walked after, And that they have sought, And to which they have bowed themselves, They are not gathered, nor buried, They are for dung on the face of the ground.
‘Isaan fuula aduu fi jiʼaa duratti, fuula guutummaa urjiiwwan samii hundaa, kanneen jaallatanii fi tajaajilanii, kanneen faana buʼanii gorsa gaafatanii fi waaqeffatan sanaa duratti ni saaxilamu. Isaan akkuma kosii lafatti gatamee taʼan malee walitti hin qabaman yookaan hin awwaalaman.
3 And chosen is death rather than life By all the remnant who are left of this evil family, In all the remaining places, whither I have driven them, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
Hambaan saba hamaa kanaa hundi lafa ani itti isaan ariʼu hundatti jireenya irra duʼa filata’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
4 And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, Do they fall, and not rise? Doth he turn back, and not return?
“Ati akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Namoonni yoo kufan hin kaʼanii? Namni tokko yoo karaa irraa bade hin deebiʼuu?
5 Wherefore hath this people of Jerusalem Turned back — a perpetual backsliding? They have kept hold on deceit, They have refused to turn back.
Yoos sabni kun maaliif karaa irraa jalʼata? Yerusaalem maaliif yeroo hunda karaa irraa jalʼatti? Isaan gowwoomsaatti cichu; deebiʼuus ni didu.
6 I have given attention, yea, I hearken, They do not speak right, No man hath repented of his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? Every one hath turned to his courses, As a horse is rushing into battle.
Ani qalbeeffadhee dhaggeeffadheera; isaan garuu waan qajeelaa hin dubbatan. Namni tokko iyyuu, “Ani maalan balleesse?” jedhee hammina isaa irraa hin deebiʼu. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii akkuma farda lolatti gulufuu karaa ofii isaanii irra qajeelu.
7 Even a stork in the heavens hath known her seasons, And turtle, and swallow, and crane, Have watched the time of their coming, And — My people have not known the judgment of Jehovah.
Huummoon samii keessaa iyyuu waqtii isheef murtaaʼe ni beekti; gugeen, daalotee fi cuquliisnis yeroo godaansa isaanii ni eegu. Sabni koo garuu seera Waaqayyoo hin beeku.
8 How do ye say, We [are] wise, And the law of Jehovah [is] with us? Surely, lo, falsely it hath wrought, The false pen of scribes.
“‘Isin akkamitti, “Nu seera Waaqayyoo waan qabnuuf ogeeyyii dha” jechuu dandeessu? Garuu kunoo, qalamni sobaa kan barreessitootaa sobee barreesseera.
9 Ashamed have been the wise, They have been affrighted, and are captured, Lo, against a word of Jehovah they kicked, And the wisdom of what — have they?
Namoonni ogeeyyiin ni qaaneffamu; isaan naʼanii kiyyoodhaan ni qabamu; isaan erga dubbii Waaqayyoo tuffatanii, ogummaa akkamii qabu ree?
10 Therefore, I give their wives to others, Their fields to dispossessors, For from the least even unto the greatest, Every one is gaining dishonest gain, From prophet even unto priest, every one is dealing falsely.
Kanaafuu ani niitota isaanii namoota biraatiif, lafa qotiisaa isaanii immoo moʼattootaaf nan kenna. Xinnaadhaa hamma guddaatti hundi isaanii iyyuu buʼaa argachuuf gaggabu; raajonnii fi luboonnis akkasuma hundi isaanii nama gowwoomsu.
11 And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! and there is no peace.
Isaan madaa saba kootii, akkuma waan xinnaa tokkootti ilaalanii walʼaanu. Utuu nagaan hin jiraatinis “Nagaa, nagaa” jedhu.
12 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Yea, they are not at all ashamed, And blushing they have not known, Therefore, they do fall among falling ones, In the time of their inspection they stumble, said Jehovah.
Isaan amala isaanii jibbisiisaa sanatti ni qaanaʼuu? Lakkii, isaan qaanii tokko iyyuu hin qaban; qaanaʼuun maal akka taʼe iyyuu hin beekan. Kanaafuu isaan warra kufan wajjin ni kufu; yeroo adabamanitti gad gatamu jedha Waaqayyo.
13 I utterly consume them, an affirmation of Jehovah, There are no grapes in the vine, Yea, there are no figs in the fig-tree, And the leaf hath faded, And the strength they have passeth from them.
“‘Ani guutumaan guutuutti isaan nan balleessa; jedha Waaqayyo. Wayinii irratti iji hin argamu. Iji harbuu muka harbuu irratti hin argamu. Baalli isaaniis ni coollaga. Wanni ani isaaniif kenne isaan irraa ni fudhatama.’”
14 Wherefore are we sitting still? Be gathered, and we go in to the fenced cities, And we are silent there, For Jehovah our God hath made us silent, Yea, He causeth us to drink water of gall, For we have sinned against Jehovah.
Nu maaliif as teenya? Walitti qabamaa! Kottaa gara magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabaniitti baqannee achitti haa dhumnu! Waan nu cubbuu isatti hojjenneef Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya badiisatti dabarsee nu kenneeraatii; akka dhugnuufis bishaan summaaʼaa nuu kenneera.
15 Looking for peace — and there is no good, For a time of healing, and lo, terror.
Nu nagaa abdanne; garuu wanni gaariin tokko iyyuu hin dhufne; nu yeroo fayyinaa abdanne; garuu goolii qofatu ture.
16 From Dan hath been heard the snorting of his horses, From the voice of the neighings of his mighty ones, Trembled hath all the land, And they come in and consume the land and its fulness, The city and the inhabitants in it.
Daan keessaa korrisuu fardeen diinaatu dhagaʼama; guutuun biyyattii himimsuu korommii fardeen isaaniitiin hollatti. Isaan biyyattii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda, magaalaa fi warra ishee keessa jiraatan hunda, balleessuuf dhufaniiru.
17 For, lo, I am sending among you serpents, Vipers that have no charmer, And they have bitten you, an affirmation of Jehovah.
“Ani kunoo bofa hadhaa qabu, buutii falfalli dawweessuu hin dandeenye isinitti nan erga; isaanis isin iddu” jedha Waaqayyo.
18 My refreshing for me [is] sorrow, For me my heart [is] sick.
Yaa isa gadda keessatti na Jajjabeessitu, onneen koo na keessatti gaggabdeerti.
19 Lo, the voice of a cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar off, Is Jehovah not in Zion? is her king not in her? Wherefore have they provoked Me with their graven images, With the vanities of a foreigner?
Kunoo, iyyi saba kootii biyya fagoodhaa ni dhagaʼama: “Waaqayyo Xiyoon keessa hin jiruu? Mootiin ishee achi hin jiruu?” “Isaan maaliif fakkiiwwan isaaniitiin, waaqota isaanii tolfamoo biyya ormaatiin dheekkamsaaf na kakaasu?”
20 Harvest hath passed, summer hath ended, And we — we have not been saved.
“Yeroon itti midhaan galfamu darbeera; bonnis hobbaʼeera; nu garuu hin fayyine.”
21 For a breach of the daughter of my people have I been broken, I have been black, astonishment hath seized me.
Sabni koo waan miidhameef anis miidhameera; Ani nan booʼe; sodaan guddaanis na qabate.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? For wherefore hath not the health of the daughter of my people gone up?
Qorichi dibatan Giliʼaad keessa hin jiruu? Abbaan qorichaa tokko iyyuu achi hin jiruu? Yoos madaan intala saba kootii maaliif hin fayyu ree?
