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!
Then YHWH said to me, "Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast 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.’
It shall happen, when they tell you, 'Where shall we go forth?' Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: "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.
I will appoint over them four kinds, says YHWH: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals 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.
I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among 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 will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask of your 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.
'You have rejected me,' says YHWH, 'you have gone backward:' therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with 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.
I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they did not return 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 above the sand of the seas; I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday; I have made anguish and terror to fall on them 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 who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies," says YHWH.
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 you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth. I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet everyone of them curses me."
11 Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ani dhugumaan kaayyoo gaariidhaaf sin baraara; Ani dhugumaan yeroo rakkinaatii fi gidiraatti, akka diinonni kee si kadhatan nan godha.
YHWH said, "Most certainly I will strengthen you for good; most certainly I will cause the enemy to make petition to you in the time of evil and in the time of distress.
12 “Namni kam iyyuu sibiila, sibiila kaabaa dhufe yookaan naasii cabsuu ni dandaʼaa?
Can one break iron, even 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.
Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
14 Sababii dheekkamsi koo ibidda ishee gubu qabsiisuuf, ani biyya ati hin beekne keessatti diinota keetiif sin garboomsa.”
I will make you serve your enemies in a land which you do not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on 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.
"YHWH, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; do not take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered 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.
Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, YHWH, the 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 did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have 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, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, 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 says YHWH, "If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return to 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.
I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you," says YHWH.
21 “Ani harka namoota hamoo jalaa sin baasa; harka warra gara jabeeyyii jalaas sin fura.”
"I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible."
