Ermiyaas 11
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 “Dubbii kakuu kanaa dhagaʼaatii saba Yihuudaattii fi namoota Yerusaalem keessa jiraatanitti himaa.
"Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha, jedhiitii isaanitti himi; ‘Namni dubbii kakuu kanaatiif hin ajajamne haa abaaramu.
and say to them, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: "Cursed is the man who doesn't hear the words of this covenant,
4 Dubbiin kunis dubbii ani yeroon biyya Gibxi jechuunis boolla ibiddaa kan itti sibiila baqsan keessaa isaan baasetti abbootii keessan ajajee dha.’ Anis akkanan jedhee, ‘Naa ajajamaatii waan ani isin ajaju hunda hojjedhaa; yoos isin saba koo taatu. Anis Waaqa keessan nan taʼa.
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, "Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5 Ergasiis ani kakuu akka biyya aannanii fi dammii keessaa yaaʼu isaaniif kennuuf abbootii keessaniif kakadhe sana fiixaan nan baasa;’ biyyi sunis biyya isin harʼa dhaaltanii jirtanii dha.” Anis “Ameen, Yaa Waaqayyo” nan jedhe.
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey," as at this day.'" Then I answered, and said, "Amen, LORD."
6 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Dubbii kana hunda magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessattii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti akkana jedhii labsi; ‘Dubbii kakuu kanaa hunda dhagaʼaatii duukaa buʼaa.
The LORD said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, 'Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Ani gaafan abbootii keessan biyya Gibxiitii baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti, “Naa ajajamaa” jedhee ammumaa amma isaan akeekkachiisaan ture.
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8 Isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne; qooda kanaa isaan mata jabina garaa isaanii hamaa sanaa faana buʼan. Kanaafuu ani abaarsa kakuu ani akka isaan duukaa buʼaniif isaan ajajee isaan garuu eeguu didan sanaa hunda isaanittan fide.’”
Yet they did not obey, nor turn their ear, but walked everyone in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not do them.'"
9 Ammas Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Saba Yihuudaatii fi uummata Yerusaalem jiraatu gidduutti fincila tokkotu argame.
The LORD said to me, "A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Isaan gara cubbuu abbootii isaanii kanneen dubbii koo dhagaʼuu didan sanaatti deebiʼaniiru. Waaqota biraa tajaajiluudhaaf jedhaniis isaan faana buʼaniiru. Manni Israaʼelii fi manni Yihuudaa kakuu ani abbootii isaanii wajjin kakadhe sana cabsaniiru.
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani balaa jarri jalaa baʼuu hin dandeenye tokko isaanitti nan fida. Yoo isaan natti iyyatan iyyuu ani isaan hin dhagaʼu.
Therefore thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will bring disaster on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi namoonni Yerusaalem dhaqanii waaqota duraan ixaana aarsaniif sanatti iyyatan; waaqonni sun garuu yeroo rakkinni isaanitti dhufutti isaan gargaaruu hin dandaʼan.
Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Yaa Yihuudaa ati akkuma magaalaawwan baayʼee qabdu sana waaqota baayʼee qabda; iddoowwan aarsaa kanneen isin Baʼaal waaqa qaanessaa sanaaf qopheessitanis akkuma daandiiwwan Yerusaalem baayʼatan.’
For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.'
14 “Sababii ani yeroo isaan rakkina isaanii keessatti na waammatanitti isaan hin dhageenyeef ati saba kanaaf hin kadhatin; waammata yookaan iyyata tokko illee hin dhiʼeessiniif.
Therefore do not pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me at the time of their trouble."
15 “Michuun koo namoota hedduu wajjin hojii hamaa hojjechaa mana qulqullummaa koo keessaa maal qabdi? Foon qulqulleeffamee addaan baafame adabbii kee sirraa deebisuu ni dandaʼaa? Gaafa waan hamaa hojjettu, ati ni gammaddaatii.”
"What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has done many vile deeds? Can holy meat avert your disaster so that you can rejoice?"
16 Waaqayyo duraan, Muka ejersaa lalisaa miidhagaa ija qabu siin jedhee ture. Amma garuu huursaa bubbee jabaatiin ibidda itti qabsiisa; dameewwan isaas ni caccabsamu.
The LORD called your name, "A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit." With the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
17 Sababii manni Israaʼelii fi manni Yihuudaa waan hamaa hojjetanii, Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsuudhaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniif Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu inni si dhaabe sun badiisa sitti labseera.
For the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal."
18 Sababii Waaqayyo mala isaanii naaf ibseef ani waan sana nan beeke; inni yeroo sanatti waan isaan hojjechaa jiran natti argisiiseeraatii.
The LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed me their doings.
19 Anis akkuma xobbaallaa hoolaa isa garraamii kan gara qalmaatti oofamu tokkoon ture; ani akka isaan, “Kottaa muka sanaa fi ija isaa haa barbadeessinuu; akka maqaan isaa siʼachi hin yaadatamneef, kottaa biyya jiraattotaa keessaa isa balleessinaa” jechuudhaan natti malatan ani hin hubannen ture.
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I did not know that they had devised devices against me, saying, "Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered."
20 Garuu yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kan murtii qajeelaa kennitu, kan garaa fi yaada namaa qortu, ani dhimma koo sitti kennadheeraatii ati akka haaloo isaanitti baatu na argisiisi.
"But, the LORD of hosts, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I shall see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause."
21 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedhee waaʼee namoota Anaatoot warra, ‘Ati maqaa Waaqayyootiin raajii hin dubbatin yoo kanaa achii harka keenyatti duuta’ jechuudhaan si ajjeesuu barbaadan sanaa dubbata.
Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek my life, saying, "You shall not prophesy in the name of the LORD, that you not die by our hand;"
22 Kanaafuu Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: ‘Ani jara nan adaba. Dargaggoonni isaanii goraadeedhaan, ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii immoo beelaan ni dhumu.
therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, "Look, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;
23 Sababii ani bara isaan itti adabaman keessa namoota Anaatootitti balaa fiduuf isaan hambaa tokko iyyuu hin qabaatan.’”
and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring disaster on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation."
