Ermiyaas 12
1 Yaa Waaqayyo yommuu ani iyyata koo fuula kee duratti dhiʼeeffadhutti ati yeroo hunda qajeelaa dha. Taʼu iyyuu ani waaʼee qajeelummaa keetii nan dubbadha; karaan jalʼootaa maaliif milkaaʼa? Warri hin amanamne hundi maaliif nagaan jiraatu?
Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me speak with thee of thy judgments: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper? why are they all happy that deal very treacherously?
2 Ati isaan dhaabde; isaanis hidda gad fageeffataniiru; ni guddatu; ijas ni naqatu. Ati yeroo hunda afaan isaaniitii hin buutu; garaa isaanii irraa garuu fagoo jirta.
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
3 Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo ati na beekta; na ilaaltees yaada ani siif qabu ni qorta. Akka hoolaa qalamuuf deemuutti harkisii isaan geessi! Guyyaa qalmaatiifis kophaatti isaan baasi!
But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 Biyyattiin hamma yoomiitti boossee margi dirree hundis goga? Sababii hammina warra biyyattii keessa jiraataniitii fi sababii namoonni, “Inni waan nurra gaʼaa jiru hin argu” jedhaniif horii fi simbirroonni dhumaniiru.
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
5 “Ati namoota lafoo wajjin fiigdee erga isaan si dadhabsiisanii, fardeen wajjin akkamitti dorgomuu dandeessa ree? Ati biyya nagaa keessatti erga gufatte, bosona Yordaanos keessatti akkam taata ree?
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, in which thou didst trust, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6 Obboloonni kee, maatiin abbaa keetii, isaan iyyuu si gananiiru; isaan sagalee ol fudhatanii sitti iyyu. Yoo isaan afaan nagaa sitti dubbatan iyyuu, ati isaan hin amanin.
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.
7 “Ani mana koo dhiiseera; handhuuraa koos gateera; ani ishee garaan koo jaallatu sana harka diinota isheetti dabarsee kenneera.
I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Handhuuraan koo akkuma leenca bosonaa natti taateerti. Isheen natti aadde; kanaafuu ani ishee jibbeera.
My heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9 Handhuuraan koo akka allaattii burree kan allaattiiwwan biraa marsanii miidhan tokkoo natti hin taanee? Dhaqaatii bineensota bosonaa hunda walitti qabaa; akka ishee nyaataniifis isaan fidaa.
My heritage is to me as a speckled bird, the birds on every side are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Tiksoonni hedduun iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii ni balleessu; qooda koos ni dhidhiitu; qooda natti tolus ni onsu.
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 Isaan isa onsu; inni onee gara kootti iyya; namni dhimma isaa qabus waan hin jirreef lafti guutuun onee hafa.
They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth to me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
12 Lafa ol kaʼaa qullaa gammoojjii keessaa hunda irra balleessitoonni ni raamʼisu; goraadeen Waaqayyoo // moggaa biyyattii tokko irraa hamma moggaa kaaniitti ni fixaatii; namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu.
The spoilers have come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
13 Isaan qamadii facaasu garuu qoraatii haammatu; ni dhamaʼu garuu homaa hin argatan. Sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo isa cimaa sanaatiif midhaan galfatanitti ni qaanaʼu.”
They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
14 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani olloota koo hamoo kanneen handhuuraa ani saba koo Israaʼeliif kenne qabatan hunda biyya isaanii keessaa nan buqqisa; mana Yihuudaas isaan gidduudhaa nan buqqisa.
Thus saith the LORD against all my evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15 Ani ergan isaan buqqisee booddee deebiʼee naʼeefii tokkoo tokkoo isaanii gara handhuuraa isaaniitii fi gara biyya ofii isaaniitti nan deebisa.
And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 Yoo isaan haala jireenya saba koo akka gaarii baratanii akkuma duraan saba koo Baʼaaliin kakachuu barsiisan sana, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jechuudhaan maqaa kootiin kakatan, isaan saba koo gidduutti ni hundeeffamu.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17 Garuu yoo sabni kam iyyuu naa ajajamuu dide, ani guutumaan guutuutti isa nan buqqisa; nan balleessas” jedha Waaqayyo.
But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
