Ermiyaas 28
1 Jalqaba bulchiinsa mootummaa Zedeqiyaa mootii Yihuudaatti, jiʼa shanaffaa waggaa sanaatti, waggaa afuraffaatti, Hanaaniyaan raajichi ilmi Azuri, namni Gibeʼoon sun mana Waaqayyoo keessatti, fuula lubootaatii fi uummata hundaa duratti akkana naan jedhe:
And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of 'Azzur the prophet, who was from Gib'on, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,
2 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsa.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
3 Ani waggaa lama keessatti miʼoota mana Waaqayyoo kanneen Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon asii guuree Baabilonitti geesse hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida.
Within yet two years' time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried to Babylon:
4 Ani amma illee Yehooyaakiin ilma Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa sanaa fi boojiʼamtoota Yihuudaadhaa gara Baabilonitti geeffaman kaan hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida; ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsaatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
And Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, saith the Lord; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5 Ermiyaas raajichi fuuluma lubootaatii fi uummata mana Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabachaa turan hundaa duratti akkana jedhee Hanaaniyaa raajichaaf deebii kenne;
Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,
6 “Ameen! Waaqayyo waan kana haa godhu! Waaqayyo miʼa mana Waaqayyootii fi boojiʼamtoota boojiʼaman hunda Baabilonii iddoo kanatti deebisuudhaan raajii ati dubbatte haa raawwatu.
Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lord's house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto this place.
7 Taʼus waan ani utuu atii fi namoonni kun hundi dhageessanuu dubbadhu kana dhagaʼi:
Nevertheless hear thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before the ears of all the people:
8 Raajonni anaa fi siin dura turan bara duriitii jalqabanii akka biyyoota baayʼee fi mootummoota gurguddootti waraanni, badiisnii fi dhaʼichi dhufu raajaniiru.
The prophets that have been before me and before thee from olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.
9 Raajiin nagaa raaju garuu yoo raajiin isaa sun fiixaan baʼe qofa akka Waaqayyo biraa ergame beekama.”
The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, [as the one] whom the Lord hath sent in truth.
10 Ergasii Hanaaniyaan raajichi morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa waanjoo fuudhee cabse;
Then took Chananyah the prophet the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it.
11 innis fuula nama hundaa duratti akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani waggaa lama keessatti waanjoo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon morma saboota hundaa irraa akkanuma nan cabsa.’” Kana irratti Ermiyaas raajichi karaa isaa qabatee qajeele.
And Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years' time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.
12 Erga Hanaaniyaan raajichi waanjoo morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa cabsee booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
13 “Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii Hanaaniyaatti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ati waanjoo mukaa cabsiteerta; garuu qooda isaa waanjoo sibiilaa ni argatta.
Go and say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yoke-bars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yoke-bars of iron.
14 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani akka isaan Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon tajaajilan gochuuf morma saboota kana hundaa irra waanjoo sibiilaa nan kaʼaa; isaanis isa ni tajaajilu. Ani bineensa irratti illee ol aantummaa isaaf nan kenna.’”
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.
15 Ermiyaas raajichis Hanaaniyaa raajichaan akkana jedhe: “Yaa Hanaaniyaa dhagaʼi! Waaqayyo si hin ergine; ati garuu akka sabni kun sobaa abdatu gooteerta.
Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.
16 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani lafa irraa sin balleessa; ati waan Waaqayyo irratti fincila lallabdeef baruma kana duuta.’”
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.
17 Hanaaniyaa raajichis wagguma sana keessa jiʼa torbaffaatti duʼe.
So Chananyah the prophet died in that same year, in the seventh month.
