Ermiyaas 15
1 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Yoo Musee fi Saamuʼeel fuula koo dura dhaabatan iyyuu garaan koo gara saba kanaatti hin deebiʼu. Fuula koo duraa isaan ariʼi! Isaan haa deeman!
And Jehovah said unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, my soul [would] not [turn] toward this people. Send [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Yoo isaan, ‘Eessa dhaqna?’ jedhanii si gaafatan immoo akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Namni duʼaaf ramadame gara duʼaa, namni goraadeedhaaf ramadame gara goraadee, namni beelaaf ramadame gara beelaa, namni boojuudhaaf ramadame immoo gara boojuu dhaqa.’
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
3 “Ani waan isaan balleessu gosa afur isaanitti nan erga” jedha Waaqayyo. “Akka isaan ajjeesuuf goraadee, akka isaan harkisaniif saroota, akka isaan nyaatanii fixaniif immoo allaattiiwwan samiitii fi bineensota lafaa isaanitti nan erga.
For I will visit them with four kinds [of punishments], saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and dogs to tear, and the fowl of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4 Ani sababii Minaaseen ilmi Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa Yerusaalem keessatti hojjete waan sanaatiif fuula mootummoota lafa irraa hunda duratti jibbamtoota isaan nan godha.
And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 “Yaa Yerusaalem, eenyutu garaa siif laafa? Eenyutu siif booʼa? Eenyutu si dubbisuuf sitti gora?
For who shall have pity upon thee, Jerusalem? and who shall bemoan thee? and who shall turn aside to ask after thy welfare?
6 Ati na dhiifteerta; ittuma fuftees duubatti deebiʼaa jirta” jedha Waaqayyo. “Kanaafuu ani harka koo sitti hiixadhee sin balleessa; ani siʼachi siif naʼuu hin dandaʼu.
Thou hast cast me off, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward; and I have stretched out my hand against thee, and will destroy thee: I am become weary of repenting.
7 Ani karrawwan magaalaa biyyattii duratti, qorbiidhaan qilleensatti isaan nan kenna. Ani saba kootti gaddaa fi badiisa nan fida; isaan karaa isaanii irraa hin deebineetii.
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave of children [and] destroy my people: they have not returned from their ways.
8 Ani haadhota hiyyeessaa isaanii cirracha galaanaa caalaa nan baayʼisa. Ani haadhota dargaggoota isaaniitti, guyyuma saafaadhaan waan isaan balleessu tokko nan fida; ani goolii fi naasuu akkuma tasaa isaanitti nan gadhiisa.
Their widows are increased to me more than the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them, against the mother of the young men, a spoiler at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall upon her suddenly.
9 Haati ilmaan torbaa gaggabdee hafuura dhumaa baafatti. Aduun ishee guyyuma adiidhaan dhiiti; isheenis salphattee namaa gad taati. Ani hambaawwan isaanii fuula diinota isaanii duratti goraadeef dabarsee nan kenna” jedha Waaqayyo.
She that hath borne seven languisheth, she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it is yet day; she is put to shame and confounded. And the residue of them will I give up to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah.
10 Wayyoo yaa haadha ko, kan ana nama biyyattii guutuu loluu fi falmu deesse? Ani hin liqeessine yookaan hin liqeeffanne; namni hundi garuu na abaara.
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole land! I have not lent on usury, nor have they lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.
11 Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ani dhugumaan kaayyoo gaariidhaaf sin baraara; Ani dhugumaan yeroo rakkinaatii fi gidiraatti, akka diinonni kee si kadhatan nan godha.
Jehovah said, Verily I will set thee free for [thy] good; verily I will cause the enemy to meet thee kindly in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 “Namni kam iyyuu sibiila, sibiila kaabaa dhufe yookaan naasii cabsuu ni dandaʼaa?
Will iron break? iron from the north? and bronze?
13 “Sababii cubbuu kee hunda kan biyya kee guutuu keessa jiru sanaatiif ani badhaadhummaa keetii fi qabeenya kee toluma boojuuf nan kenna.
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, and in all thy borders;
14 Sababii dheekkamsi koo ibidda ishee gubu qabsiisuuf, ani biyya ati hin beekne keessatti diinota keetiif sin garboomsa.”
and I will make [them] to pass with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger; it shall burn upon you.
15 Yaa Waaqayyo situ beeka; na yaadadhu; na tiksis. Warra na ariʼatan haaloo naaf baʼi. Ati obsa guddaa qabdaatii na hin balleessin; akka ani siif jedhee tuffatamu beeki.
Jehovah, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; in thy long-suffering take me not away: know that for thy sake I bear reproach.
16 Dubbiin kee ni argame; anis nan nyaadhe; innis na gammachiise; gammachuu garaa kootiis taʼe; yaa Waaqayyo, Gooftaa Waan Hunda Dandeessu, ani maqaa keetiin nan waamamaatii.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy words were unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.
17 Ani gonkumaa tuuta fandalaltootaa wajjin hin teenye; gonkumaa isaan wajjin hin gammanne; sababii harki kee narra turee fi sababii ati aariidhaan na guutteef ani kophaa koo nan taaʼe.
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor exulted: I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18 Rakkinni koo maaliif dhuma dhabe? Madaan koos maaliif fayyuu dide? Ati akka laga nama gowwoomsuu akka burqaa goguus natti taataa?
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable? It refuseth to be healed. Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a treacherous [spring], [as] waters that fail?
19 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yoo ati qalbii jijjiirratte, ani akka ati na tajaajiltuuf deebisee sin dhaaba; Ati yoo dubbii faayidaa hin qabne dhiiftee dubbii faayidaa qabu dubbatte afaan naaf taata. Sabni kun gara keetti haa deebiʼuu malee ati gara isaaniitti deebiʼuu hin qabdu.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: If thou return, then will I bring thee again, thou shalt stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth. Let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20 Ani saba kanaaf dallaa dhagaa, dallaa naasii kan jabeeffamee ijaarame sin taasisa; isaan si lolu; garuu si hin moʼatan; ani si baraaruu fi si baasuuf si wajjin jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
And I will make thee unto this people a strong brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, to save thee and to deliver thee, saith Jehovah;
21 “Ani harka namoota hamoo jalaa sin baasa; harka warra gara jabeeyyii jalaas sin fura.”
yea, I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
