Ermiyaas 16
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The word of Jehovah came also to me, saying,
2 “Ati iddoo kanatti niitii fuutee ilmaan yookaan intallan hin dhalchin.”
Thou shall not take thee a wife, nor shall thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
3 Waaqayyo waaʼee ilmaanii fi intallan iddoo kanatti dhalatanii, waaʼee dubartoota haadhota isaanii taʼaniitii fi waaʼee dhiirota abbootii isaanii taʼanii akkana jedhaatii:
For thus says Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who begot them in this land:
4 “Isaan dhukkuba nama ajjeesuun dhumu. Isaan akkuma kosii lafatti gatamee taʼu malee booʼicha hin argatan; hin awwaalamanis. Isaan goraadee fi beelaan dhumu. Reeffi isaaniis allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata taʼa.”
They shall die grievous deaths. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground. And they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine. And their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
5 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Ati mana booʼichaa hin seenin yookaan dhaqxee hin booʼin yookaan isaan hin jajjabeessin; ani eebba koo, jaalala kootii fi gara laafina koo saba kana irraa fudhadheeraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
For thus says Jehovah, Enter not into the house of mourning, nor go to lament, nor bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people, says Jehovah, even loving kindness and tender mercies.
6 “Namni xinnaa fi guddaan biyya kana keessatti ni duʼa. Isaan hin awwaalaman yookaan booʼicha hin argatan; namni tokko iyyuu isaaniif jedhee of hin murmuru yookaan mataa hin haaddatu.
Both great and small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, nor shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them,
7 Namni tokko iyyuu warra namni irraa duʼe jajjabeessuuf jedhee nyaata hin geessuuf; yookaan namni tokko iyyuu nama abbaan yookaan haati jalaa duute jajjabeessuuf jedhee dhugaatii hin geessu.
nor shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead, nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 “Mana cidhi jiru hin seenin; nyaachuu fi dhuguuf jettees isaan wajjin hin taaʼin.
And thou shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
9 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii: Ani ija keessan durattii fi bara keessan keessa sagalee ililleetii fi gammachuu, sagalee misirrittiitii fi misirrichaa iddoo kanaa nan balleessa.
For thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 “Yeroo ati waan kana hunda saba kanatti himtee isaan, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif badiisa guddaa akkanaa nurratti labse? Nu maal balleessine? Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyattis cubbuu maalii hojjennee?’ jedhanii si gaafatanitti,
And it shall come to pass, when thou shall show this people all these words, and they shall say to thee, Why has Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?
11 akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Kun sababii abbootiin keessan na dhiisanii waaqota kaan duukaa buʼanii isaan tajaajilanii fi isaan waaqeffataniif’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘isaan na dhiisan; seera koos hin eegne.
Then thou shall say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
12 Isin garuu abbootii keessan iyyuu caalaa hammaattaniirtu. Kunoo tokkoon tokkoon keessan qooda anaaf ajajamuu mata jabina hammina garaa keessanii duukaa buutaniirtuutii.
And ye have done evil more than your fathers, for, behold, ye walk each one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not to me.
13 Kanaafuu ani biyya kana keessaa isin baasee, biyya isin yookaan abbootiin keessan hin beeknetti isin nan gata; isinis achitti halkanii guyyaa waaqota biraa tajaajiltu; ani isiniif hin naʼuutii.’
Therefore I will cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers, and there ye shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.
14 “Taʼus” jedha Waaqayyo, “barri itti namoonni siʼachi, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, isa biyya Gibxii Israaʼeloota baase sanaa’ jedhanii hin kakanne ni dhufa,
Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah lives who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
15 isaan garuu, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa biyya kaabaatii fi biyyoota itti isaan bittinneesse hunda keessaa baasee fide sanaa’ ni jedhu. Ani biyya abbootii isaaniitiif kenne sanatti isaan nan deebisaatii.
but, As Jehovah lives who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
16 “Amma immoo ani akka isaan qurxummii qabdoota hedduu fidaniif namoota nan erga” jedha Waaqayyo; “isaanis jara ni qabu. Ergasii ani akka isaan adamsitoota hedduu fidaniif namoota nan erga; isaanis tulluu hundaa fi gaara hunda irra, baqaqaa kattaa hunda keessas jara ni adamsu.
Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Jehovah, and they shall fish them up. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
17 Iji koo karaa isaanii hunda irra jira; isaanis na duraa hin dhokatan; cubbuun isaaniis ija koo duraa hin dhokfamu.
For my eyes are upon all their ways. They are not hid from my face, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
18 Sababii isaan fakkiiwwan isaanii lubbuu dhabeeyyii faayidaa hin qabne sanaan biyya koo xureessanii, waaqota isaanii jibbisiisoo sanaanis handhuuraa koo guutaniif ani gatii hamminaa fi lubbuu isaaniitiif malu harka lama nan baasaaf.”
And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, jabina kootii fi daʼannoo ko, daʼoo koo kan yeroo rakkinaa, ormoonni handaara lafaatii gara kee dhufanii akkana jedhu, “Abbootiin keenya waaqota sobaa, waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabne kanneen waan gaarii tokko illee isaaniif hin goone sana malee homaa hin dhaalle.
O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to thee the nations shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, even vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 Namoonni ofii isaaniitiif waaqota ni tolfatuu? Eeyyee, garuu isaan waaqota miti!”
Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?
21 “Kanaafuu ani isaan nan barsiisa; yeroo kanatti ani humna koo fi jabina koo isaan nan barsiisa. Yoos isaan akka maqaan koo Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might, and they shall know that my name is Jehovah.
