Ermiyaas 20
1 Phaashihuur lubichi, ilmi Imeerii inni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti bulchaa hangafa ture sun yommuu Ermiyaasii waan kana raaju dhagaʼetti,
And when Pashhur son of Immer, the priest, who also was deputy-overseer in the house of Yahweh, heard that Jeremiah had prophesied these things,
2 akka Ermiyaas raajichi tumamee Karra Beniyaam isa ol aanu kan mana Waaqayyoo biratti argamu sana keessatti miilli isaa jirma lama gidduu galee hidhamu godhe.
then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, —and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.
3 Ermiyaasis guyyaa itti aanu yeroo Phaashihuur jirma lamaan gidduudhaa isa baasetti akkana jedheen; “Maqaan Waaqayyo siif baase Maagormiisaabiib malee Phaashihuur miti.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks, —that Jeremiah said unto him—Not Pashhur, hath Yahweh called thy name, But Magor-missaviv["Terror-round-about"].
4 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; ‘Ani akka ati ofii keetii fi michoota keetti sodaachisaa taatu sin godha; yeroo isaan goraadee diinota isaaniitiin dhuman ijuma keetiin argita. Ani Yihuudaa hunda dabarsee mootii Baabiloniitti nan kenna; innis Baabilonitti isaan geessa yookaan goraadeedhaan isaan fixa.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! making thee a ["magor" i. e. a] terror to thyself and to all who love thee, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, thine own eyes also, beholding, And all Judah, will I deliver into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon and smite them with the sword.
5 Ani qabeenya magaalaa kanaa hunda jechuunis oomisha ishee hunda, waan gatii guddaa qabu hundaa fi badhaadhummaa mootota Yihuudaa hunda dabarsee diinota isaaniitti nan kenna. Isaanis boojiʼanii fudhatanii Baabilonitti isaan geessan.
And I will deliver up—All the wealth of this city, and All her labour, and All her precious things, —And all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I deliver up into the hands of their enemies, and they will make of them a prey, and take them, and carry them into Babylon.
6 Yaa Phaashihuur ati, warri mana kee jiraatan hundis boojiʼamtanii Baabilonitti geeffamtu. Atii fi michoota kee warri ati raajii sobaa dubbatteef hundi achitti duutanii awwaalamtu.’”
And, thou, Pashhur and all who are dwelling in thy house, shall go into captivity, —Yea into Babylon, shalt thou enter And there, shalt thou die And there, shalt thou be buried Thou and all who love thee, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na gowwoomsite; anis nan gowwoomfame; ati humnaan na caaltee na moʼatte. Ani guyyaa guutuu waan kolfaa nan taʼe; namni hundis natti qoosa.
Thou didst persuade me, O Yahweh and I was persuaded, Thou didst lay firm hold on me and didst prevail, —I am become a mockery, all the day, Every one, is laughing at me.
8 Ani yeroon dubbadhu hunda nan iyya; “Goolii, badiisa” jedhees nan labsa. Kanaafuu dubbiin Waaqayyo guyyaa guutuu arrabsoo fi tuffii natti fide.
For, as often as I speak, I make outcry, Violence and wasting, I proclaim, —Yea the word of Yahweh hath become to me a reproach and derision all the day
9 Garuu yoo ani, “Ani maqaa isaa hin dhaʼu yookaan siʼachi maqaa isaatiin hin dubbadhu” jedhe, dubbiin isaa onnee koo keessatti akka ibiddaa, akkuma ibidda lafee koo keessatti ukkaamsameera. Ani of keessatti isa qabachuu nan dadhabe; dhuguma iyyuu ani hin dandaʼu.
Therefore I say—I will not mention him Neither will I speak any more in his name, But then it becometh in my heart as a fire that burneth, Shut up in my bones, —And I am weary of restraint and cannot refrain.
10 Ani hasaasa, “Karaa hundaan sodaa! Isa balaaleffadhaa! Isa haa balaaleffannu!” jedhu hedduu nan dhagaʼa. Michoonni koo hundi, “Inni ni gowwoomfama taʼa; nus ergasii isa ni moʼanna; haaloo keenya illee ni baafanna” jechaa kufaatii koo eeggatu.
Because I have heard the whispering of many—"A terror round about!" Tell ye [say they], that we may tell of him, All the men I am wont to salute do watch for my halting, —Peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail over him, and take our vengeance upon him.
11 Waaqayyo garuu akkuma goota humna qabeessa tokkootti na wajjin jira; kanaafuu warri na adamsan ni gufatu malee hin moʼatan. Isaan baayʼee qaaneffaman; hin milkaaʼaniitii; salphinni isaanii gonkumaa hin irraanfatamu.
But, Yahweh, is with me, as a mighty one striking terror, For this cause, shall my persecutors stumble and not prevail, —They have turned very pale, For they have not prospered, Confusion age-abiding, it shall not be forgotten!
12 Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kan nama qajeelaa qortu, kan garaa fi yaada namaa keessa argitu, ani falmii koo sitti kennadheeraatii ati yeroo isaanitti haaloo baatu na argisiisi.
But O Yahweh of hosts—Testing the righteous Beholding the affections and the heart, —Let me see thine avenging upon them, For unto thee, have I laid bare my cause.
13 Waaqayyoof faarfadhaa! Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa! Inni lubbuu namoota hiyyeeyyii harka hamootaatii ni baasa.
Sing ye to Yahweh! Praise ye Yahweh! For he hath delivered the soul of the needy, out of the hand of evildoers.
14 Guyyaan ani dhaladhe haa abaaramu! Guyyaan haati koo na deesse sunis hin eebbifamin!
Accursed, be the day on which I was born, —The day when my mother bare me, let it not be blessed!
15 Namichi, “Daaʼimni tokko jechuunis ilmi siif dhalatee jira!” jedhee abbaa kootiif oduu fidee akka malee isa gammachiise sun haa abaaramu!
Accursed, be the man who carried tidings to my father saying, There is born to thee a man-child!
16 Namichi sun akkuma magaalaawwan Waaqayyo gara laafina malee garagalchee haa taʼu. Inni ganamaan wawwaannaa, saafaan immoo iyya waraanaa haa dhagaʼu.
Making him very glad: Yea let that man be—as the cities which Yahweh overthrew and repented not, —And let him hear An outcry in the morning, and A war-shout at broad noon!
17 Akka haati koo awwaala naa taatuuf, akka gadameessi ishees iddoo jireenya bara baraa naaf taʼuuf inni utuu ani gadameessa keessaa hin baʼin na hin ajjeefneetii.
Because I was not slain from the womb, —Nor did my mother become my grave, Nor was her womb great for ever!
18 Ani maaliifan rakkinaa fi gadda arguuf jireenya koos qaaniin fixuuf gadameessa keessaa baʼe?
Wherefore was it—That from the womb, I came forth, to see labour and pain; and That in shame should my days be consumed!
