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 that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [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.

For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was confined in the court of the prison, which [was] in the king of Judah's house.

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.

For Zedekiah king of Judah had confined him, saying, Why dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take 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 escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

5 Innis Zedeqiyaa gara Baabilonitti geessa; Zedeqiyaan hamma ani isa Yaadadhutti achuma tura, jedha Waaqayyo. Isin yoo Baabilonota loltan hin milkooftan.’”

And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: 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 the LORD came to 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.

Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thy uncle shall come to thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that [is] in Anathoth: for the right of redemption [is] thine 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 my uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison, according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine, and the redemption [is] thine; buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this [was] the word of the LORD.

9 kanaafuu ani lafa qotiisaa Anaatoot jiru sana durbii koo Hananiʼeel irraa bitadhee meetii saqilii kudha torba safaree kenneef.

And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that [was] in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, [even] seventeen shekels of silver.

10 Anis walii galtee sana mallatteessee, chaappaa itti godhee, dhuga baatota waamee meetii sana madaaliitti safareef.

And I subscribed the contract, and sealed [it], and took witnesses, and weighed [him] the money 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;

So I took the evidence of the purchase, [both] that which was sealed [according] to the law and custom, 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 I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel my uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

13 “Anis fuuluma isaanii duratti qajeelcha kana Baarukiif kenne;

And I charged Baruch before them, 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 the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue 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 the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

16 “Anis erga walii galtee bittaa fi gurgurtaa sana Baaruk ilma Neeriyaatti kennee booddee akkana jedheen Waaqayyoon kadhadhe:

Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, 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.

Ah LORD God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and out-stretched arm, [and] there is nothing too hard 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;

Thou showest loving-kindness to thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, JEHOVAH 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 work: for thy eyes [are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give 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 hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, [even] to this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and hast made thee 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 hast brought forth thy people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an out-stretched arm, and with great terror;

22 Biyya aannanii fi damma baasu kan ati abbootii isaaniitiif kennuuf kakatte kana isaaniif kennite.

And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give 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 possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

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.

Behold the mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest [it].

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.”

And thou hast said to me, O LORD GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26 Ergasiis dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:

Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,

27 “Ani Waaqayyo, Waaqa nama hundaa ti; wanni ani hin dandeenye tokko iyyuu jiraa?

Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

28 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani magaalaa kana dabarsee Baabilonotaa fi Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti kennuuf jira; innis ishee ni qabata.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take 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, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, to 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 children of Israel and the children of Judah have done evil only before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.

31 Magaalattiin kun gaafa ijaaramtee jalqabdee hamma ammaatti akka ani fuula koo duraa ishee balleessuuf na aarsitee dheekkamsaaf na kakaaste.

For this city hath been to me [as] a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it 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 evil of the children of Israel and of the children 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.

And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising early and teaching [them], yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

34 Isaan waaqota isaanii balfamoo sana mana Maqaa kootiin waamamu keessa dhaabatanii manicha xureessan.

But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, 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 they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] to Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

36 “Ati waaʼee magaalattii kanaa, ‘Isheen goraadeedhaan, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan dabarfamtee mooticha Baabilonitti kennamti’ jetta; Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha:

And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the 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, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety.

38 Isaan saba koo taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.

And they shall be my people, and I will be 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 fear me for ever, 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 make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

41 Ani waan gaarii isaaniif gochuutti nan gammada; garaa koo fi lubbuu koo guutuudhaan, amanamummaadhaanis biyya kana keessa isaan nan dhaaba.

Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole 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 the LORD; As I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised 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.

And fields shall be bought in this land, of which ye say, [It is] desolate without man or beast; it is 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.”

Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal [them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
