Ermiyaas 27
1 Jalqaba bara Zedeqiyaa ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa turetti dubbiin kun Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, this word came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
2 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Teephaa fi danqaraadhaan waanjoo tolchiitii morma keetti kaaʼadhu.
Thus saith the Lord to me: Make thee bands, and chains: and thou shalt put them on thy neck.
3 Ergasii karaa ergamoota Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa bira gara Yerusaalem dhufaniitiin gara mootii Edoom, mootii Moʼaab, mootii Amoon, mootii Xiiroosii fi mootii Siidoonaatti dhaamsa ergi.
And thou shalt send them to the of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon: by the hand of the messengers that are come to Jerusalem to Sedecias the king of Juda.
4 Gooftota isaaniitiif dhaamsa kana dabarsii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; “Waan kana gooftota keessanitti himaa.
And thou shalt command them to speak to their masters: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters:
5 Ani humna koo guddaa fi irree koo diriirfameen lafa, uummata isheetii fi bineensota ishee irra jiraatan uumeera; abbaa fedheef illee nan kenna.
I made the earth, and the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power, and by my stretched out arm: and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my eyes.
6 Ani amma biyyoota keessan hunda harka garbicha koo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabiloniitti dabarsee nan kenna. Akka bineensonni bosonaa iyyuu isa jalatti bulan nan godha.
And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon my servant: moreover also the beasts of the field I have given him to serve him.
7 Hamma guyyaan biyya isaa gaʼutti saboonni hundi isa, ilmaan isaatii fi ilmaan ilmaan isaa tajaajilu; ergasii immoo saboonni hedduunii fi mootonni gurguddaan isa garboomfatu.
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son: till the time come for his land and himself: and many nations and great kings shall serve him.
8 “‘“Garuu yoo sabni yookaan mootummaan kam iyyuu Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon hin tajaajille yookaan yoo morma isaa waanjoo mootichaatiif gad hin qabanne ani hamman harkuma isaatiin isaan balleessutti saba sana goraadeedhaan, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan nan adaba, jedha Waaqayyo.
But the nation and kingdom that will not serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and whosoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon: I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, saith the Lord: till I consume them by his hand.
9 Kanaafuu isin raajota keessan, ilaaltota keessan, warra abjuu isiniif hiikan, eker dubbistoota keessanii fi falfaltoota keessan kanneen, ‘Isin mootii Baabilon hin tajaajiltan’ isiniin jedhan sana hin dhagaʼinaa.
Therefore hearken not to your prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, that say to you: You shall not serve the king Babylon.
10 Isaan akka isin biyya keessan keessaa buqqifamtanii fagaattaniif soba isiniif raaju; anis ariʼee isin nan baasa; isinis ni baddu.
For they prophesy lies to you: to remove you far from your country, and east you out, and to make you perish.
11 Garuu yoo sabni kam iyyuu morma isaa waanjoo mootii Baabiloniitiif gad qabatee isa tajaajile, ani akka sabni sun biyya ofii isaa keessatti hafee lafa qotatee achi jiraatu nan dhiisa, jedha Waaqayyo.”’”
But the nation that shall bend down their neck under the yoke of the king Babylon, and shall serve him: Will let them remain in their own land, saith the Lord: and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
12 Anis Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatti ergaadhuma kana nan hime. Akkanan jedheen; “Morma keessan waanjoo mootii Baabiloniitiif gad qabadhaa; isaa fi saba isaa tajaajilaa; isinis ni jiraattu.
And I spoke to Sedecias the king of Juda according to all these words, saying: Bend down your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, and his people, and you shall live.
13 Atii fi sabni kee maaliif goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼicha Waaqayyo ittiin saba mootii Baabilon hin tajaajille kam iyyuu sodaachiseen duutu?
Why will you die, thou and thy people by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Dubbii raajota, ‘Isin mootii Baabilon hin tajaajiltan’ isiniin jedhanii hin dhagaʼinaa; isaan raajii sobaa isinitti dubbatuutii.
Hearken not to the words of the prophets that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they tell you a lie.
15 ‘Ani isaan hin ergine’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Jarri maqaa kootiin soba raaju. Kanaafuu ani isinii fi raajota isinii raajan illee ariʼee nan baasa; isinis ni baddu.’”
For I have not sent them, saith the Lord: and they prophesy in my name falsely: to drive you out, and that you may perish, both you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
16 Anis lubootaa fi namoota kana hundaan akkanan jedhe, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: raajota, ‘Miʼi mana Waaqayyoo ammuma Baabilonii ni deebifama’ jedhan hin dhagaʼinaa. Isaan soba isiniif raaju.
I spoke also to the priests, and to this people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Hearken not to the words of your prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of the Lord shall now in a short time be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17 Isin jara hin dhaggeeffatinaa. Mootii Baabilon tajaajilaa; ni jiraattuutii. Magaalaan kun maaliif diigamti?
Therefore hearken not to them, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why should this city be given up to desolation?
18 Isaan yoo raajota taʼanii fi yoo dubbii Waaqayyoo of keessaa qabaatan mee akka miʼi mana Waaqayyoo kan masaraa mootii Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem keessatti hafe sun gara Baabilonitti hin fudhatamneef Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu haa kadhatan.
But if they be prophets, and the word of the Lord be in them: let them interpose themselves before the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which were left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
19 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waaʼee utubootaa, waaʼee miʼa bishaan itti kuusanii, waaʼee baattuuwwaniitii fi waaʼee miʼoota magaalaa kanatti hafan kanneen biraa akkana jedhaatii;
For thus saith the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea, and to the bases, and to the rest of the vessels that remain in this city:
20 Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon sun gaafa Yehooyaakiin ilma Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa sana namoota Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem ulfaatoo hunda wajjin Yerusaalemii gara Baabilonitti boojiʼe sana miʼoota kanneen hin fudhanne.
Which Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the great men of Juda and Jerusalem.
21 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee miʼoota mana Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootii Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem keessatti hafanii akkana jedha:
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda and Jerusalem:
22 ‘Isaan Baabilonitti ni geeffamu; hamma guyyaan ani isaaniif dhufu gaʼuttis achuma turu’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Ergasii ani deebisee iddoo kanatti isaan nan fida.’”
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day of their visitation, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to be brought, and to be restored in this place.
