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 ye 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 thou to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed [be] the man that obeyeth not 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 from the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye 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 perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O 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.
Then the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye 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 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 obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do; but they did [them] not.
9 Ammas Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Saba Yihuudaatii fi uummata Yerusaalem jiraatu gidduutti fincila tokkotu argame.
And 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 have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they went 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 saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, I will not hearken 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 inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they shall 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 thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and [according to] the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to [that] 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 pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time when they cry to me for 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 hath my beloved to do in my house, [seeing] she hath wrought lewdness with many; and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
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 thy name, A green olive tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it 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, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in 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.
And the LORD hath given me knowledge [of it], and I know [it]: then thou showedst 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 lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not 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, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to thee 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 saith the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not 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 saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, 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 of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, [even] the year of their visitation.
