Ermiyaas 26
1 Jalqaba bara mootummaa Yehooyaaqiim ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaa sanaatti dubbiin kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from Yhwh, saying,
2 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Oobdii mana Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabadhuutii namoota magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa baʼanii mana Waaqayyoo keessatti waaqeffachuu dhufan hundatti dubbadhu. Waan ani si ajaju hunda itti himi; jecha tokko illee hin hambisin.
Thus saith Yhwh; Stand in the court of Yhwh's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yhwh's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:
3 Tarii isaan dhagaʼanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa karaa isaa hamaa sana irraa ni deebiʼa taʼa. Anis gaabbee badiisa sababii hammina isaaniitiif isaanitti fiduuf yaadaa ture sana nan hambisa.
If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
4 Atis akkana jedhiin; Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Yoo isin na dhagaʼuu diddanii, seera koo kan ani fuula keessan dura kaaʼe sana duukaa buʼuu baattan,
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 amma illee yoo isin dubbii tajaajiltoota koo raajota ani utuma isin dhagaʼuu diddanuu ammumaa amma isinitti erge sanaa illee dhaggeeffachuu baattan,
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
6 ani mana kana akkuma Shiiloo, magaalaa kana immoo saboota lafaa hunda keessatti waan abaarsaa nan godha.’”
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 Luboonni, raajonnii fi sabni hundi Ermiyaasii dubbii kana mana Waaqayyoo keessatti dubbatu dhagaʼan.
So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yhwh.
8 Garuu akkuma Ermiyaas waan Waaqayyo akka inni dubbatuuf isa ajaje hunda namoota hundatti, himee raawwateen luboonni, raajonnii fi namoonni hundi isa qabanii akkana jedhaniin; “Ati duʼuu qabda!
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Yhwh had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9 Ati maaliif akka manni kun akkuma Shiiloo taʼuu fi akka magaalaan kunis onee duwwaa hafu maqaa Waaqayyootiin raajii dubbatta?” Namoonni hundis mana Waaqayyoo keessatti Ermiyaasin marsan.
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Yhwh, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Yhwh.
10 Qondaaltonni Yihuudaa yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti mana Mootii keessaa gara mana Waaqayyootti ol baʼanii balbala karra Haaraa kan mana Waaqayyoo dura tataaʼan.
When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house unto the house of Yhwh, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of Yhwh's house.
11 Kana irratti luboonnii fi raajonni sun qondaaltotaa fi namoota hundaan, “Waan namichi kun magaalaa kana irratti raajii dubbateef duuti isatti muramuu qaba. Isin waan kana gurruma keessaniin dhageessaniirtu!” jedhan.
Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Ermiyaas qondaaltota hundaa fi namoota hundaan akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akka ani waan isin dhageessan kana hunda mana kanaa fi magaalaa kana irratti raajii dubbadhuuf na erge.
Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, Yhwh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
13 Kanaafuu isin amma karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfadhaa; Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif illee ajajamaa. Yoos Waaqayyo gaabbee balaa isinitti fiduuf yaade sana ni dhiisa.
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Yhwh your God; And Yhwh will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
14 Ani garuu harkuma keessan keessa nan jira; isin tarkaanfii gaarii fi qajeelaa isinitti fakkaate narratti fudhadhaa.
As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
15 Garuu isin yoo na ajjeeftan akka dhiiga nama balleessaa hin qabnee dhangalaasuu keessaniin ofitti, magaalaa kanattii fi warra ishee keessa jiraatanitti balaa fiddan beekkadhaa; Waaqayyo dhugumaan akka ani dubbii isin dhageessan kana hunda dubbadhuuf isinitti na ergeeraatii.”
But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth Yhwh hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
16 Kana irratti qondaaltonnii fi namoonni hundi, lubootaa fi raajotaan, “Namicha kanatti duuti muramuu hin qabu! Inni maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatiin nutti dubbatee jiraa” jedhan.
Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of Yhwh our God.
17 Maanguddoota biyyaa keessaas tokko tokko kaʼanii waldaa sabaa guutuudhaan akkana jedhan;
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 “Bara Hisqiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa Miikiyaas namni biyya Mooresheet akkana jedhee saba Yihuudaa hundatti raajii dubbate; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “‘Xiyoon akkuma lafa qotiisaatti qotamti; Yerusaalemis tuullaa waan diigamee taati; gaarri mana qulqullummaas tabba daggalaan liqimfame taʼa.’
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
19 “Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa yookaan saba Yihuudaa keessaa namni tokko iyyuu isa ajjeeseeraa? Hisqiyaas Waaqayyoon sodaatee araara isaa hin kadhannee? Waaqayyos gaabbee badiisa isaanitti fiduu yaade sana hin dhiifnee? Nus badiisa hamaa ofitti fiduu geenyeerra!”
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear Yhwh, and besought Yhwh, And Yhwh repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
20 Namni maqaa Waaqayyootiin raajii dubbate kan biraa immoo Uuriyaa ilma Shemaaʼiyaa nama biyya Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim ture; innis akkuma Ermiyaas magaalaa kanaa fi biyya kana irratti raajii dubbate.
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of Yhwh, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath–jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
21 Yommuu Yehooyaaqiim mootichi, ajajjoonnii fi qondaaltonni isaa hundi dubbii Uuriyaa dhagaʼanitti mootichi isa ajjeesisuu barbaade; Uuriyaan garuu waan kana dhageenyaan sodaatee gara Gibxitti baqate.
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
22 Yehooyaaqiim mootichi garuu Elnaataan ilma Akboor namoota biraa wajjin gara Gibxitti erge.
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
23 Isaanis Uuriyaa Gibxii fidanii Yehooyaaqiim mootichatti kennan; mootichis goraadeedhaan isa ajjeese; reeffa isaa immoo iddoo namoonni ulfina hin qabne itti awwaalamanitti gate.
And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Ahiiqaam ilmi Shaafaan garuu Ermiyaasin deeggare; kanaafuu Ermiyaas ajjeefamuuf dabarfamee namootatti hin kennamne.
Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
