Ermiyaas 27
1 Jalqaba bara Zedeqiyaa ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa turetti dubbiin kun Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, son of Josiah, king of Judah.
2 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Teephaa fi danqaraadhaan waanjoo tolchiitii morma keetti kaaʼadhu.
This is what the Lord told me: Make for yourself a harness and a yoke and strap it on your 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.
Send a message to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the ambassadors who have come to Jerusalem to see Zedekiah king of Judah.
4 Gooftota isaaniitiif dhaamsa kana dabarsii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; “Waan kana gooftota keessanitti himaa.
Give them this order from the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, to convey to their masters:
5 Ani humna koo guddaa fi irree koo diriirfameen lafa, uummata isheetii fi bineensota ishee irra jiraatan uumeera; abbaa fedheef illee nan kenna.
It was by my strength and creative power that I made the earth and the human beings and animals that live there, and I give it to those who are right in my sight.
6 Ani amma biyyoota keessan hunda harka garbicha koo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabiloniitti dabarsee nan kenna. Akka bineensonni bosonaa iyyuu isa jalatti bulan nan godha.
Now I have placed my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in charge of all these countries. I have even given him control over the wild animals.
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.
All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time that his own land comes under the control of other nations and powerful kings.
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.
Any nation or kingdom that doesn't serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and doesn't submit to him I will punish that nation by war and famine and plague, declares the Lord, until I let Nebuchadnezzar destroy it completely.
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.
Don't you listen to your prophets, your fortune-tellers, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your magicians when they tell you, “You won't serve the king of Babylon.”
10 Isaan akka isin biyya keessan keessaa buqqifamtanii fagaattaniif soba isiniif raaju; anis ariʼee isin nan baasa; isinis ni baddu.
They're prophesying a lie to you that will lead to your removal from your country. I will expel you and you will die.
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 a nation that submits to the king of Babylon and serves him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and live in it, declares the Lord.
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.
I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah: Submit to the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
13 Atii fi sabni kee maaliif goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼicha Waaqayyo ittiin saba mootii Baabilon hin tajaajille kam iyyuu sodaachiseen duutu?
Why should you and your people die by war and famine and plague, as the Lord has said he would bring against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Dubbii raajota, ‘Isin mootii Baabilon hin tajaajiltan’ isiniin jedhanii hin dhagaʼinaa; isaan raajii sobaa isinitti dubbatuutii.
Don't listen to messages from prophets who say, “You won't serve the king of Babylon,” for they are prophesying a lie to you.
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.’”
I didn't send them, declares the Lord, and yet they are giving false prophecies in my name. So I will expel you and you will die—you and the prophets who 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.
Then I told the priests and all the people, This is what the Lord says: Don't listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Look! The objects from the Lord's Temple will shortly be returned from Babylon.” They are prophesying a lie to you.
17 Isin jara hin dhaggeeffatinaa. Mootii Baabilon tajaajilaa; ni jiraattuutii. Magaalaan kun maaliif diigamti?
Don't listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city be destroyed?
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.
If they are truly prophets and really have the word of the Lord with them, they should be pleading now with the Lord Almighty that what's left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, isn't taken 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;
This what the Lord Almighty says about the pillars, the bronze sea, the bases, and the rest of the objects that are left in Jerusalem:
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.
everything Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take when he took Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, together with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee miʼoota mana Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootii Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem keessatti hafanii akkana jedha:
Again, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about the objects left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in 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 will be taken away to Babylon and will stay there until the time I see to them again, declares the Lord. Only then will I bring them back so they will be in Jerusalem again.
