Ermiyaas 32
1 Bara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudhannaffaatti bara mootummaa Nebukadnezar keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti, dubbiin kun Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe.
The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, —the same, was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar;
2 Yeroo sanatti loltoonni mootii Baabilon Yerusaalemin marsanii turan; Ermiyaas raajichi immoo masaraa mootii Yihuudaa keessatti oobdii eegumsaa keessatti itti cufamee ture.
and, then, the forces of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, —and, Jeremiah the prophet, had been shut up in the guard-court, which was in the house of the king of Judah;
3 Zedeqiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa akkana jedheenii isa hiisisee ture; “Ati maaliif akkana jettee raajii dubbatta? ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani magaalaa kana dabarsee mootii Baabilonitti nan kenna; innis ni qabata.
whom Zedekiah king of Judah, had shut up, saying, —Why art thou prophesying, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
4 Zedeqiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa dabarfamee mootii Baabilonitti ni kennama malee harka warra Baabilon jalaa hin baʼu; fuula mootichaa dura dhaabatees isa wajjin dubbata; ija isaatiinis isa ni arga.
and, Zedekiah king of Judah! shall not be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, —for he shall be wholly given up, into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak—the mouth of the one to the mouth of the other, and the eyes of the one into the eyes of the other, shall look;
5 Innis Zedeqiyaa gara Baabilonitti geessa; Zedeqiyaan hamma ani isa Yaadadhutti achuma tura, jedha Waaqayyo. Isin yoo Baabilonota loltan hin milkooftan.’”
and into Babylon, shall he lead Zedekiah and, there, shall he remain, until I visit him, Declareth Yahweh, —though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
6 Ermiyaas akkana jedhe; “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And Jeremiah said, —The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
7 Hananiʼeel ilmi eessuma keetii ilmi Shaluum si bira dhufee, ‘Ati sababii lafa kana bitachuuf mirga aantummaa qabduuf lafa qotiisaa koo kan Anaatoot keessaa sana bitadhu’ siin jedha.
Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee saying, —Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption to buy it.
8 “Ergasii akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana Hananiʼeel durbiin koo gara oobdii eegumsaatti na bira dhufee, ‘Lafa koo kan biyya Beniyaam keessa Anaatoot jiru sana bitadhu. Waan mirgi furuutii fi dhuunfachuu kan kee taʼeef ati ofii keetii bitadhu’ jedhe. “Kana irratti ani akka wanni kun dubbii Waaqayyoo ture nan beeke;
So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh into the guard-court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee my field that is in Anathoth which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption, —buy it for thyself. So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was.
9 kanaafuu ani lafa qotiisaa Anaatoot jiru sana durbii koo Hananiʼeel irraa bitadhee meetii saqilii kudha torba safaree kenneef.
And I bought the field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, —and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver;
10 Anis walii galtee sana mallatteessee, chaappaa itti godhee, dhuga baatota waamee meetii sana madaaliitti safareef.
and I wrote in the scroll and sealed it, and took in attestation witnesses, —and weighed the silver in the balances.
11 Walii galtee bittaa fi gurgurtaa jechuunis garagalchaa chaappaa qabu kan akka seeraa fi barteetti hojjetamee fi kan chaappaa hin qabnee illee nan fudhadhe;
Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed—the title and the conditions—and that which was open;
12 geessees fuula durbii koo Hananiʼeelii fi fuula dhuga baatota walii galtee sana irratti mallatteessaniitii fi fuula Yihuudoota oobdii eegumsaa keessa tataaʼaa turan hundaa duratti Baaruk ilma Neeriyaa ilma Mahiseyaatti kenne.
and gave the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle[’s son], and in the sight of the witnesses who subscribed the scroll of purchase, —in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the guard-court.
13 “Anis fuuluma isaanii duratti qajeelcha kana Baarukiif kenne;
Then charged I Baruch in their sight saying:
14 ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: walii galtee bittaa fi gurgurtaa kan chaappaa qabuu fi kan chaappaa hin qabne fuudhiitii akka isaan bara dheeraa turuu dandaʼaniif lachuu okkotee suphee keessa kaaʼi.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Take thou these scrolls, this scroll of purchase even that which is sealed, and this scroll that is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, —that they may remain many days,
15 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii; biyya kana keessatti manneen, lafa qotiisaa fi iddoon dhaabaa wayinii amma illee ni bitamu.’
For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel: Again, shall houses and fields and vineyards, be bought, in this land.
16 “Anis erga walii galtee bittaa fi gurgurtaa sana Baaruk ilma Neeriyaatti kennee booddee akkana jedheen Waaqayyoon kadhadhe:
Then prayed I unto Yahweh, —after I had delivered the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah, saying: —
17 “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati humna kee guddaa fi irree kee diriirfame sanaan samiiwwanii fi lafa uumteerta. Wanti ati hin dandeenye tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm, —There is nothing, too wonderful for thee:
18 Ati namoota kumaatamatti jaalala ni argisiifta; garuu sababii cubbuu abbootiitiif jettee ijoollee isaanii kanneen isaan booddee illee ni adabda. Yaa Waaqa guddaa fi humna qabeessa maqaan kee Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu dha;
Executing lovingkindness unto thousands, But recompensing the iniquity of fathers, into the bosom of their children, after them, Thou GOD, the great the mighty, Yahweh of hosts, is his name:
19 kaayyoon kee guddaa dha; hojiin kees jabaa dha. Iji kee karaa namaa hunda ilaala; ati tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif gatii karaa isaatii fi hojii isaatiif malu kennita.
Great in counsel, and mighty in deed, —Whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give unto every one, According to his ways, and According to the fruit of his doings:
20 Ati Gibxi keessatti mallattoo fi dinqii hojjettee hamma harʼaatti illee Israaʼelii fi sanyii namaa hunda keessatti waan kana ittuma fuftee maqaa hamma ammaatti qabdu kana argatte.
Who didst set signs and wonders, in the land of Egypt, unto this day, and in Israel and among mankind, —And didst make for thyself a name as at this day;
21 Saba kee Israaʼeliin mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan, harka humna qabeessaan, irree diriirfamaa fi haala akka malee nama sodaachisuun Gibxi keessaa baafte.
And didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of, Egypt, With signs and with wonders, and With a strong hand, and With an outstretched arm, and With great terror;
22 Biyya aannanii fi damma baasu kan ati abbootii isaaniitiif kennuuf kakatte kana isaaniif kennite.
And didst give unto them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto them, —a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 Isaanis biyyattii seenanii dhaalan; garuu siif hin ajajamne yookaan seera kee duukaa hin buune. Waan ati akka isaan hojjetan ajajjes hin hojjenne. Kanaafuu ati badiisa kana hunda isaanitti fidde.
And they came in and took possession of it But hearkened not unto thy voice Nor in thy law, did they walk, Nought of what thou hadst commanded them to do, did they do, —And so thou hast caused to befall them all this calamity.
24 “Kunoo magaalaa fudhachuuf tuullaan biyyoo itti marfameera. Sababii goraadee, beelaatii fi dhaʼichaatiif magaalaan kun Baabilonota amma isa lolaa jiranitti dabarfamee ni kennama. Wanni ati dubbatte sun akkuma ati amma argitu kana fiixaan baʼeera.
Lo! the earthworks! they have entered the city, to capture it, And the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence, —And so what thou didst speak, hath come to pass, And there thou art looking on!
25 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati yoo magaalattiin kun dabarfamtee Baabilonotatti kennamte iyyuu ‘Meetiidhaan lafa qotiisaa bitadhuutii bittaa fi gurgurtaa isaa illee ragaa qabaachisi’ naan jetta.”
Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver And take in attestation, witnesses, —Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!
26 Ergasiis dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Jeremiah, saying: —
27 “Ani Waaqayyo, Waaqa nama hundaa ti; wanni ani hin dandeenye tokko iyyuu jiraa?
Lo! I, am Yahweh, God of all flesh, —For me, is any thing too wonderful?
28 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani magaalaa kana dabarsee Baabilonotaa fi Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti kennuuf jira; innis ishee ni qabata.
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
29 Baabilononni magaalaa kana lolaa jiran kunneen magaalattii seenanii ibidda itti qabsiisu; isaanis manneen namoonni bantii isaanii irratti Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsuu fi waaqota biraafis dhibaayyuu dhibaafachuudhaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasan sana illee walumaan ni gubu.
And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, Shall enter, and Shall set this city on fire, and Shall consume it, —With the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Baal and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger;
30 “Sabni Israaʼelii fi sabni Yihuudaa ijoollummaa isaaniitii jalqabanii fuula koo duratti waan hamaa malee homaa hin hojjenne; dhugumaan sabni Israaʼel waan harkuma isaaniitiin hojjetaniin dheekkamsaaf na kakaasan malee homaa hin hojjenne, jedha Waaqayyo.
For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been nothing but doers of wickedness in my sight from the days of their youth, —For the sons of Israel have been doing nothing but provoke me to anger by the workmanship of their hands, Declareth Yahweh;
31 Magaalattiin kun gaafa ijaaramtee jalqabdee hamma ammaatti akka ani fuula koo duraa ishee balleessuuf na aarsitee dheekkamsaaf na kakaaste.
For According to mine anger, and According to mine indignation, hath been to me this city, from the day when they built it even unto this day, —that I should pull it down from before my face:
32 Sabni Israaʼelii fi sabni Yihuudaa jechuunis isaan, mootonni isaaniitii fi qondaaltonni isaanii, luboonni isaaniitii fi raajonni isaanii, namoonni Yihuudaatii fi namoonni Yerusaalem hammina hojjetan hundaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniiru.
because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
33 Isaan fuula isaanii dhiisanii dugda isaanii natti garagalfatan; yoo ani ammumaa amma isaan barsiise iyyuu isaan na hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan qajeelfama kootiin hin geeddaramne.
Thus have they turned unto me the back, and not the face, —Though I instructed them, betimes, instructing them, Yet have they not been hearkening, to receive correction;
34 Isaan waaqota isaanii balfamoo sana mana Maqaa kootiin waamamu keessa dhaabatanii manicha xureessan.
But have set their abominations in the house on which my name hath been called, to defile it;
35 Isaanis ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii aarsaa godhanii Moolekiif dhiʼeessuuf jedhanii Sulula Ben Hinoom keessatti Baʼaaliif iddoo sagadaa ijaaran; ani garuu akka isaan waan jibbisiisaa akkanaa hojjetanii Yihuudaa illee cubbuu hojjechiisan gonkumaa isaan hin ajajne yookaan wanni kun qalbii koo keessa illee hin turre.
And have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing, —Causing, Judah, to sin!
36 “Ati waaʼee magaalattii kanaa, ‘Isheen goraadeedhaan, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan dabarfamtee mooticha Baabilonitti kennamti’ jetta; Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha:
Now therefore, because of this, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, —Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by sword, and by famine and by pestilence:
37 Ani dhugumaan biyyoota ani aarii koo sodaachisaa fi dheekkamsa koo guddaadhaan itti isaan ariʼe hunda keessaa walitti isaan nan qaba; iddoo kanattis isaan deebisee nagaan isaan jiraachisa.
Behold me! gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them—In mine anger and In mine indignation and In great vexation, —And I will cause them to return into this place, And will make them dwell, securely;
38 Isaan saba koo taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.
And they shall become my people, —And, I, will become their God;
39 Ani akka isaanittii fi ijoollee isaanii kanneen isaan booddeettis jireenyi toluuf jedhanii akka bara baraan na sodaataniif garaa tokkoo fi karaa tokko isaaniifin kenna.
And I will give them one heart, and one way, That they may revere me, all the days, —For the good of them and of their children after them;
40 Ani kakuu bara baraa isaan wajjin nan gala; akka isaan gonkumaa narraa hin garagalleef ani waan gaarii isaaniif gochuu hin dhiisu; akka isaan na sodaataniifis isaan nan kakaasa.
And I will solemnise to them an age-abiding covenant, That I will not turn away from following them, to do them good, —But the reverence of myself, will I put in their heart, so that they shall not turn away from me.
41 Ani waan gaarii isaaniif gochuutti nan gammada; garaa koo fi lubbuu koo guutuudhaan, amanamummaadhaanis biyya kana keessa isaan nan dhaaba.
And I will rejoice over them, to do them good, —And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.
42 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani akkuman badiisa guddaa kana hunda saba kanatti fide sana waan gaarii waadaa isaaniif seene sana hunda nan kennaaf.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Like as I have brought upon this people all this great calamity, So, am I bringing upon them all the good that I am speaking concerning them.
43 Biyya isin, ‘Biyyattiin kun ontee duwwaa hafteerti; namni yookaan bineensi ishee keessa hin jiru; isheen dabarfamtee Baabilonotatti kennamteertiitii’ jettanii waaʼee ishee dubbattan kana keessatti lafti qotiisaa amma illee ni bitama.
Therefore shall fields be bought in this land, —whereof ye are saying, It is, a desolation, Without man or beast, It hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans:
44 Biyya Beniyaam keessatti, gandoota naannoo Yerusaalem keessatti, magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi magaalaawwan biyya gaaraa keessatti, magaalaawwan gaarran dhiʼaatii fi kan Negeeb keessatti lafti qotiisaa meetiidhaan ni bitama; walii galteen bittaa gurgurtaa isaas mallatteeffamee chaappaan itti godhamee dhuga baatotaan ni rageeffama; ani boojuu isaanii iddoo duriitti nan deebisaatii, jedha Waaqayyo.”
Fields—for silver, shall men buy, And write in scrolls And seal them, And take in attestation, witnesses, In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, and In the cities of the hill country, and In the cities of the lowland and In the cities of the South, —For I will cause them of their captivity to return Declareth Yahweh.
