Ermiyaas 32
1 Bara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudhannaffaatti bara mootummaa Nebukadnezar keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti, dubbiin kun Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Yeroo sanatti loltoonni mootii Baabilon Yerusaalemin marsanii turan; Ermiyaas raajichi immoo masaraa mootii Yihuudaa keessatti oobdii eegumsaa keessatti itti cufamee ture.
Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, 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 shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will 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 won’t escape out of the hand of the Kasdim, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will see 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 will bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” says the LORD, “though you fight with the Kasdim, you will not prosper”’?”
6 Ermiyaas akkana jedhe; “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Jeremiah said, “The LORD’s word 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, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours 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 Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the LORD’s word, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ “Then I knew that this was the LORD’s word.
9 kanaafuu ani lafa qotiisaa Anaatoot jiru sana durbii koo Hananiʼeel irraa bitadhee meetii saqilii kudha torba safaree kenneef.
I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, 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.
I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.
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 deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and 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 I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
13 “Anis fuuluma isaanii duratti qajeelcha kana Baarukiif kenne;
“I commanded 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.
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last 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 the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel says: ‘Houses and fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land.’
16 “Anis erga walii galtee bittaa fi gurgurtaa sana Baaruk ilma Neeriyaatti kennee booddee akkana jedheen Waaqayyoon kadhadhe:
Now after I had delivered the deed 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, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
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;
You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, the LORD of Hosts is your 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; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone 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 performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and amongst other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;
21 Saba kee Israaʼeliin mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan, harka humna qabeessaan, irree diriirfamaa fi haala akka malee nama sodaachisuun Gibxi keessaa baafte.
and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
22 Biyya aannanii fi damma baasu kan ati abbootii isaaniitiif kennuuf kakatte kana isaaniif kennite.
and gave them this land, which you swore 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.
They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have 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, siege ramps have been built against the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Kasdim who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see 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.”
You have said to me, Lord GOD, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Kasdim.”
26 Ergasiis dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Then the LORD’s word came 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 anything 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 the LORD says: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Kasdim, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will 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.
The Kasdim, who fight against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and burn it with the houses on 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 only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says 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 has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day, so 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, their prophets, 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.
They have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. Although I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened 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.
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 fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come 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:
Now therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say, “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, 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 the countries where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place. I will cause them to dwell safely.
38 Isaan saba koo taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.
Then they will 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.
I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good and the good 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.
I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may 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 the LORD says: “Just as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I will bring on 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.
Fields will be bought in this land, about which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man or animal. It is given into the hand of the Kasdim.’
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 will buy fields for money, sign the deeds, seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed,” says the LORD.
