Ermiyaas 33
1 Utuu Ermiyaas amma iyyuu oobdii eegumsaa keessatti hidhamee jiruu, dubbiin Waaqayyoo yeroo lammaffaa akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe:
Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 “Waaqayyo inni lafa uume, Waaqayyo inni lafa tolchee jabeessee ishee dhaabe, kan maqaan isaa Waaqayyo jedhamu sun akkana jedha;
“Yahweh who does it, Yahweh who forms it to establish it—Yahweh is his name, says:
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 you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’
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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against 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.
‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden 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 healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 Ani Yihuudaa fi Israaʼelin boojuudhaa deebisee akka isaan dur turanitti nan ijaara.
I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, 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.
I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me 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.’
This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to 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,
Yahweh says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
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 those who say, ‘Give thanks to Yahweh of Armies, for Yahweh is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into Yahweh’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a 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 hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says Yahweh.
14 “‘Barri ani’ jedha Waaqayyo ‘waadaa gaarii ani mana Israaʼelii fi mana Yihuudaatiif seene sana itti fiixaan baasu ni dhufa.’
“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning 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, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice 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 Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.”
17 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: ‘Daawit gonkumaa nama teessoo mana Israaʼel irra taaʼu hin dhabu;
For Yahweh says: “David will never lack a man to sit on 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.’”
The Levitical priests won’t lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
19 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Yahweh’s word 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,
“Yahweh says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
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 my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he won’t have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical 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 army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
23 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Yahweh’s word 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.
“Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has Yahweh cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise 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,
Yahweh says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, 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 I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
