Ermiyaas 1
1 Kun dubbii Ermiyaas ilma Hilqiyaa kan luboota biyya Beniyaam keessa magaalaa Anaatoot jiraatan keessaa tokko taʼe sanaa ti.
Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
2 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo bara Yosiyaas ilma Aamoon mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha sadaffaatti gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
unto whom the word of Jehovah hath been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 akkasumas bara Yehooyaaqiim ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatii jalqabee hamma dhuma bara Zedeqiyaa ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti waggaa sana keessaas hamma jiʼa shanaffaatti, yeroo sabni Yerusaalem boojiʼametti dubbiin kun gara isaa dhufaa ture.
and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the removal of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
5 “Ani utuu gadameessa keessatti si hin uumin dura si beeke; utuu ati hin dhalatin dura addaan si baafadhe; akka ati sabootaaf raajii taatuufis si muude.”
'Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.'
6 Anis, “Wayyoo, yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ani akkamitti akkan dubbadhu hin beeku; ani mucaa xinnoo dha” nan jedhe.
And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah! lo, I have not known — to speak, for I [am] a youth.'
7 Waaqayyo garuu akkana naan jedhe; “Ati, ‘Ani mucaa xinnoo dha’ hin jedhin. Ati gara nama ani itti si ergu hundaa dhaqxee waan ani si ajaju hunda dubbachuu qabda.
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send thee thou goest, and all that I command thee thou speakest.
8 Ati jara hin sodaatin; ani si baasuuf si wajjinan jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
Be not afraid of their faces, for with thee [am] I to deliver thee, — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
9 Ergasiis Waaqayyo harka isaa hiixatee afaan koo tuqee akkana naan jedhe; “Kunoo, ani dubbii koo afaan kee keessa kaaʼeera.
And Jehovah putteth forth His hand, and striketh against my mouth, and Jehovah saith unto me, 'Lo, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 Ilaa, ani akka ati buqqiftuu fi diigduuf, akka barbadeessituu fi garagalchituuf, akka ijaartuu fi dhaabduuf harʼa sabootaa fi mootummoota irratti si muudeera.”
See, I have charged thee this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.'
11 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara koo dhufee, “Ermiyaas, ati maal argaa jirta?” naan jedhe. Anis deebisee, “Damee muka lawuzii arguuttin jira” jedhe.
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'What art thou seeing, Jeremiah?' And I say, 'A rod of an almond tree I am seeing.'
12 Waaqayyo immoo, “Ati sirriitti argite; ani akka dubbiin koo fiixaan baʼuuf kutadhee kaʼeeraatii” naan jedhe.
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Thou hast well seen: for I am watching over My word to do it.'
13 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo amma illee gara koo dhufee, “Ati maal argaa jirta?” naan jedhe. Anis deebisee, “Xuwwee danfaa jiru kan kaaba irraa as garagalee jiru tokko nan arga” jedhe.
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'A blown pot I am seeing, and its face [is] from the north.'
14 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Gara kaabaatii balaan warra biyyattii keessa jiraatan hundatti ni buʼa.
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'From the north is the evil loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
15 Kunoo saboota mootummoota kaabaa hunda walitti nan waama” jedha Waaqayyo. “Mootonni isaanii dhufanii karrawwan Yerusaalem dura teessoowwan isaanii ni dhaabbatu; isaan dallaawwan naannoo ishee hundaa fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda marsu.
For, lo, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north, — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they have come, and put each his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls round about, and by all cities of Judah.
16 Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraaf ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii hojjete waaqeffachuudhaan hammina hojjetaniif ani saba kootti murtii nan labsa.
And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
17 “Ati garuu mudhii kee hidhadhuu kaʼiitii waan ani si ajaju hunda isaanitti himi. Ati jara hin sodaatin; ati isaan sodaannaan ani fuula isaanii duratti sodaa sittin buusaa.
'And thou, thou dost gird up thy loins, and hast arisen, and spoken unto them all that I command thee: be not affrighted because of them, lest I affright thee before them.
18 Akka ati guutuu biyyattiitiin jechuunis mootota Yihuudaatiin, qondaaltota isheetiin, lubootaa fi uummata biyyattiitiin mormituuf ani harʼa magaalaa dallaa jabaan marfamte, utubaa sibiilaatii fi dallaa naasii si taasiseera.
And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city, and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
19 Isaan si lolu; garuu si hin moʼatan; ani si baasuuf si wajjin jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
and they have fought against thee, and they prevail not against thee; for with thee [am] I, — an affirmation of Jehovah — to deliver thee.
