offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel," says the LORD.
6 “Ani magaalaa hunda keessatti garaa duwwaa isiniif kenneera; magaalaa hunda keessattis buddeena isin dhabsiiseera; isin garuu gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
"I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
7 “Ani yeroo midhaan haamamuuf jiʼi sadii hafutti bokkaa isin irraa nan kute. Ani magaalaa tokkotti bokkaa ergee kaan irraa immoo nan dhaabe. Lafti qonnaa tokko bokkaa argatee kaan garuu homaa dhabee goge.
"I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it did not rain withered.

"I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
10 “Ani akkuman biyya Gibxi godhe sana dhaʼicha isinitti nan erge. Ani fardeen isin boojitan wajjin dargaggoota keessan goraadeedhaan nan fixe. Ajaa qubata keessaniitiin funyaan keessan nan guute; isin garuu gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
"I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
11 “Ani akkuman Sodoomii fi Gomoraa garagalche sana isin keessaa nama tokko tokko garagalcheera. Isin akkuma muka bobaʼu kan ibidda keessaa butamee ti; taʼus isin gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
