Ermiyaas 33
1 Utuu Ermiyaas amma iyyuu oobdii eegumsaa keessatti hidhamee jiruu, dubbiin Waaqayyoo yeroo lammaffaa akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying:
2 “Waaqayyo inni lafa uume, Waaqayyo inni lafa tolchee jabeessee ishee dhaabe, kan maqaan isaa Waaqayyo jedhamu sun akkana jedha;
Thus saith the Lord, who will do, and will form it, and prepare it, the Lord is his name.
3 ‘Ati gara kootti iyyadhu; anis deebii siifin kennaa; waan guddaa fi dhoksaa ati hin beekne sitti nan hima.’
Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will shew thee great things, and sure things which thou knowest not.
4 Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee manneen magaalaa kanaatii fi waaʼee masaraa mootota Yihuudaa kanneen ittiin tuulaa biyyootii fi goraadee of irraa dhowwuuf diigaman sanaa akkana jedhaatii;
For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Juda, which rue destroyed, and to the bulwarks, and to the sword.
5 Baabilononni loluuf ni dhufu; ‘Isaanis magaalaa kana reeffa namoota ani aarii fi dheekkamsa kootiin fixuutiin ni guutu. Ani sababii hammina ishee hundaatii fi magaalaa kana duraa fuula koo dhokfadheeraatii.
Of them that come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in my wrath, and in my indignation, hiding my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6 “‘Taʼus ani isaan nan fayyisa; nan bayyanachiisas; ani saba koo nan fayyisa; akka isaan nagaa fi tasgabbii guddaan jiraatan nan godha.
Behold I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth.
7 Ani Yihuudaa fi Israaʼelin boojuudhaa deebisee akka isaan dur turanitti nan ijaara.
And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning.
8 Cubbuu isaan natti hojjetan hunda irraa isaan nan qulqulleessa; cubbuu isaan natti finciluun hojjetan hundas nan dhiisaaf.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and despised me.
9 Magaalaan kun fuula saboota lafa irraa warra waan gaarii ani isheef godhe hunda dhagaʼan hundaa duratti maqaa, gammachuu, galataa fi ulfina naa taati; isaan sababii badhaadhummaa fi nagaa ani isheef kennu hundaatiif sodaatanii hollatan.’
And it shall be to me a name, and a joy, and a praise, and a gladness before all the nations of the earth, that shall hear of all the good things which I will do to them: and they shall fear and be troubled for all the good things, and for all the peace that I will make for them.
10 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Isin waaʼee iddoo kanaa, “Biyyattiin kun ontee duwwaa hafteerti; namni yookaan bineensi ishee keessa hin jiru” jettu. Taʼu illee magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem kanneen duwwaa hafanii namni yookaan bineensi keessa hin jirre sana keessatti amma illee,
Thus saith the Lord: There shall be heard again in this place (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast: in the cities of Juda, and without Jerusalem, which are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast)
11 sagaleen ililleetii fi gammachuu, sagaleen misirrichaatii fi misirrittii, sagaleen warra mana Waaqayyootti aarsaa dhiʼeessanii kan, “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu galateeffadhaa; Waaqayyo gaariidhaatii; jaalalli isaas bara baraan ni jiraata” jedhu ni dhagaʼama. Ani boojiʼamtoota biyyattii akkuma isaan duraan turanittin deebisaatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.
The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say: Give ye glory to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring their vows into the house of the Lord: for I will bring back the captivity of the land as at the first, saith the Lord.
12 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: ‘Iddoo onaa namni yookaan horiin keessa hin jiraanne kanaa fi magaalaawwan ishee hunda keessa lafti dheedaa kan tiksoonni bushaayee isaanii itti boqochiifatan ammas ni jiraata.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall be again in this place that is desolate without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 Magaalaawwan biyya gaaraa keessatti, kanneen gaarran dhiʼaatii fi Negeeb keessatti, biyya Beniyaam keessatti, gandoota naannoo Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessatti amma illee bushaayeen harka nama isaan toʼatuu jala ni hulluuqu’ jedha Waaqayyo.
And in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: and in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda shall the flocks pass again under the hand of him that numbereth them, saith the Lord.
14 “‘Barri ani’ jedha Waaqayyo ‘waadaa gaarii ani mana Israaʼelii fi mana Yihuudaatiif seene sana itti fiixaan baasu ni dhufa.’
Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel, and to the house of Juda.
15 “‘Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti ani akka dameen qajeelaan tokko sanyii Daawit keessaa latu nan godha; inni waan qajeelaa fi sirrii taʼe biyyattii keessatti ni hojjeta.
In those days, and at that time, I will make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David, and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth.
16 Bara sana keessa Yihuudaan ni fayya; Yerusaalemis nagaan jiraatti. Maqaan isheen ittiin waamamtus, Waaqayyo qajeelummaa keenya’ jedhama.
In those days shall Juda be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely: and this is the name that they shall call him, The Lord our just one.
17 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: ‘Daawit gonkumaa nama teessoo mana Israaʼel irra taaʼu hin dhabu;
For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18 yookaan luboonni warri Lewwota taʼan gonkumaa nama aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuuf, kennaa midhaanii gubuu fi qalma dhiʼeessuuf ittuma fufee fuula koo dura dhaabatu hin dhaban.’”
Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually:
19 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
20 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Yoo isin akka halkanii fi guyyaan yeroo isaanii kennametti hin dhufneef kakuu ani halkan wajjin galee fi kakuu ani guyyaa wajjin gale sana cabsuu dandeessan,
Thus saith the Lord: If my covenant with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:
21 kakuun ani garbicha koo Daawit wajjin galee fi kakuun ani Lewwota luboota taʼanii fuula koo dura tajaajilan wajjin gale sun cabuu dandaʼa; Daawitis siʼachi sanyii teessoo isaa irra taaʼee bulchu hin qabaatu.
Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests my ministers.
22 Ani sanyii garbicha koo Daawitii fi Lewwota fuula koo dura tajaajilan akkuma urjiiwwan samiitii fi akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa kan madaalamuu hin dandeenyee nan baayʼisa.’”
As the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers.
23 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
24 “Ati akka uummanni kun, ‘Waaqayyo mootummoota filatee ture lamaan gateera’ jechaa jiru hin qalbeeffannee? Kanaafuu isaan saba koo tuffataniiru; siʼachis akka saba tokkootti isa hin ilaalan.
Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen, are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is no more a nation before them?
25 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani utuu halkanii fi guyyaa wajjin kakuu koo jabeessee dhaabuu baadhee, samii fi lafaafis seera kaaʼuu baadhee,
Thus saith the Lord: If I have not set my covenant between day and night, and laws to heaven and earth:
26 silaa sanyii Yaaqoobii fi sanyii tajaajilaa koo Daawit gatee akka inni sanyii Abrahaam, sanyii Yisihaaqii fi kan Yaaqoob bulchuuf ilmaan isaa keessaa nama tokko hin filadhu ture. Anis boojiʼamtoota isaanii nan deebisa; garaa illee nan laafaaf.’”
Surely I will also cast; off the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will bring back their captivity, and will have mercy on them.
