Ermiyaas 30
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Dubbii ani sitti dubbadhe hunda kitaabatti barreessi.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
3 Barri tokko ni dhufa’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Innis yeroo ani itti saba koo Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa boojuudhaa deebisee biyya ani akka isaan dhaalaniif abbootii isaaniitiif kenne sanatti isaan galchuu dha,’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Dubbiin Waaqayyo waaʼee Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa dubbate kanaa dha:
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Iyyi sodaa ni dhagaʼama; kun raafama malee nagaa miti.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
6 Mee iyyaafadhaa ilaalaa: Dhiirri tokko daʼuu ni dandaʼaa? Yoos ani maaliifan dhiira hunda isaa akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu, harka isaa garaa ofii isaa irra kaaʼatee, fuulli isaas akka malee gurraachaʼe arga ree?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Guyyaan sun akkam sodaachisaa taʼa! Guyyaan akka guyyaa sanaa tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu. Guyyaan sun Yaaqoobiif yeroo rakkinaa taʼa; inni garuu rakkina sana keessaa ni baʼa.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
8 “‘Guyyaa sana’ jedha Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, ‘Ani morma isaanii irraa waanjoo nan cabsa; hidhaa isaanii illee nan kukkuta; ergasii namoonni biyya ormaa isaan hin garboomfatan.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 Qooda kanaa isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitii fi Daawit mootii isaanii isa ani isaaniif kaasu ni tajaajilu.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
10 “‘Kanaafuu yaa tajaajilaa koo Yaaqoob, ati hin sodaatin; yaa Israaʼel hin rifatin’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Ani dhugumaan biyya fagootii sin baasa, sanyiiwwan kee immoo biyya isaan boojiʼamanii itti geeffamanii nan baasa. Yaaqoob ammas nagaa fi tasgabbii ni qabaata; namni isa sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
11 Ani si baasuuf si wajjinan jiraatii’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Ani sabootan gidduu isaaniitti si bittinneesse sana guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessu iyyuu siʼi garuu guutumaan guutuutti hin barbadeessu. Ani karaa sirrii taʼeen sin adaba; utuu si hin adabin akkasumatti si hin dhiisu.’
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Madaan kee hin fayyu; miidhamni kee waldhaansa hin qabu.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Namni siif falmu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; madaa keetiif qorichi hin jiru; ati hin fayyitu.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
14 Michoonni kee hundi si dagataniiru; isaan dhimma kee hin qaban. Sababii yakki kee akka malee guddaa taʼee cubbuun kees baayʼateef ani akkuma diinaatti si dhaʼee akkuma nama garaa jabaatu tokkoottis si adabeera.
All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Ati maaliif madaa keetii fi dhukkuba kee kan hin fayyine sanaaf iyyita? Sababii yakki kee guddatee cubbuun kees baayʼateef, ani wantoota kanneen sitti fideera.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
16 “‘Warri si nyaatan hundi garuu ni nyaatamu; diinonni kee hundis boojuudhaan ni fudhatamu. Warri qabeenya kee boojiʼan ni boojiʼamu; warri si saaman hundis ni saamamu.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Ani garuu fayyaa kee siifin deebisa; madaa kees siif nan fayyisa’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Ati Xiyoon gatamtuu kan namni tokko iyyuu dhimma ishee hin qabne jedhamteertaatii.’
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
18 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Ani hambaa dunkaana Yaaqoob kan boojiʼamee deebisee nan dhaaba; iddoo jireenya isaaniitiifis garaa nan laafa; magaalattiin idduma diigamte sanatti deebitee ni ijaaramti; masaraanis iddoo isaaf malu ni dhaabata.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
19 Faarfannaan galataatii fi sagaleen gammachuu isaan keessaa ni dhagaʼama. Ani isaan nan baayʼisa; isaaniis hin xinnaatan; ani ulfina nan kennaaf; isaanis hin tuffataman.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 Ijoolleen isaanii akka warra jabana durii taʼu; waldaan isaaniis jabaatee fuula koo dura ni dhaabata; ani warra isaan cunqursu hunda nan adaba.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
21 Hoogganaan isaanii namuma isaanii taʼa; bulchaan isaanii isaanuma gidduudhaa kaʼa. Ani isa ofitti nan dhiʼeessa; innis natti dhiʼaata; yoo kanaa achii eenyutu natti dhiʼaachuuf ija jabaata?’ jedha Waaqayyo.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 ‘Akkasiin isin saba koo ni taatu; anis Waaqa keessan nan taʼa.’”
You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 Kunoo, bubbeen Waaqayyoo, inni jabaan dheekkamsaan ni buʼa; bubbeen hamaanis mataa hamootaa irratti gad bubbisa.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 Aariin Waaqayyoo, sodaachisaan sun hamma inni kaayyoo yaada isaa guutumaan guutuutti fiixaan baasutti duubatti hin deebiʼu. Isin bara dhumaa keessa waan kana ni hubattu.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
