Ermiyaas 33
1 Utuu Ermiyaas amma iyyuu oobdii eegumsaa keessatti hidhamee jiruu, dubbiin Waaqayyoo yeroo lammaffaa akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe:
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah 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 the maker of this, the LORD that formed it, to establish 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.’
Call to me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty 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, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by 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.
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
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 bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 Ani Yihuudaa fi Israaʼelin boojuudhaa deebisee akka isaan dur turanitti nan ijaara.
And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
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, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned, and by which they have transgressed against 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 of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do for them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure for it.
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; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that 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, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captives 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; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all its cities, shall be 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.
In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counteth 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 that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
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, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 Bara sana keessa Yihuudaan ni fayya; Yerusaalemis nagaan jiraatti. Maqaan isheen ittiin waamamtus, Waaqayyo qajeelummaa keenya’ jedhama.
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is the name by which she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
17 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: ‘Daawit gonkumaa nama teessoo mana Israaʼel irra taaʼu hin dhabu;
For thus saith the LORD; David shall never lack 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 the priests the Levites lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to offer sacrifice continually.
19 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, 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 ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so 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.
Then also may my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the 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 host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister to me.
23 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, 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.
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be 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 my covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of 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.’”
Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captives to return, and have mercy on them.
