Ermiyaas 34
1 Yeroo Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabiloniitii fi loltoonni isaa hundi, mootummoonnii fi saboonni biyya inni bulchu keessa jiraatan hundi Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan naannoo ishee hunda lolaa turanitti dubbiin akkana jedhu tokko Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:
2 “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Gara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa dhaqiitii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani magaalaa kana dabarsee mootii Baabilonitti nan kenna; innis ishee guba.
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 Ati dhugumaan qabamtee dabarfamtee isatti kennamta malee harka isaa jalaa hin miliqxu. Mootii Baabilon ijuma keetiin ni argita; innis kallattiin si wajjin ni dubbata. Atis Baabilonitti ni geeffamta.
and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 “‘Taʼus yaa Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa, ati dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi. Waaqayyo waaʼee kee akkana jedha: Ati goraadeen hin duutu;
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus saith the LORD concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword;
5 garuu nagumaan duuta. Namoonni akkuma ulfina awwaala abbootii keetii mootota siin duraatiif ibidda qabsiisan sana ulfina keetiif ibidda qabsiisanii, “Wayyoo yaa Gooftaa!” jedhanii booʼu. Ani mataan koo dubbii kana dubbadheeraatii, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have spoken the word, saith the LORD.
6 Ermiyaas raajichi Yerusaalem keessatti waan kana hunda Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatti hime;
Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 yeroo sanatti loltoonni mootii Baabilon Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa jechuunis Laakkiishii fi Azeeqaa lolaa turan. Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban keessaa kanneen hafan isaanuma kana qofa turaniitii.
when the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these [alone] remained of the cities of Judah [as] fenced cities.
8 Erga Zedeqiyaa mootichi bilisummaa garbootaa labsuuf jedhee uummata Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu hunda wajjin kakuu galee booddee dubbiin tokko Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe.
The word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
9 Tokkoon tokkoo namaa garba isaa dhiiraa dubartii sanyii Ibrootaa taʼan bilisa baasuu qaba ture; namni kam iyyuu Yihuudii sanyii isaa taʼe tokko garbummaa keessatti hambisuu hin qabu.
that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother:
10 Kanaafuu qondaaltonnii fi namoonni kakuu sana seenan hundi garboota isaanii dhiirotaa dubartii bilisa baasuu fi akka siʼachis isaan hin garboomfanne walii galan. Isaanis tole jedhanii jara bilisa baasan.
And all the princes and all the people obeyed, which had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:
11 Ergasii garuu yaada isaanii geeddaratanii garboota bilisa baasanii turan sana deebifatanii amma illee garboomfatan.
but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids:
12 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13 “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani yeroon Gibxii biyya garbummaatii isaan baasetti abbootii keessan wajjin akkana jedhee kakuu gale;
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
14 ‘Tokkoon tokkoon keessan waggaa torba torbatti nama sanyii Ibrootaa kan isinitti of gurgure kam iyyuu bilisa baasuu qabdu. Erga inni waggaa jaʼa isin tajaajilee booddee isin gad isa dhiisuu qabdu.’ Abbootiin keessan garuu na hin dhageenye; gurras naa hin kennine.
At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
15 Isin immoo dhiʼoo kana qalbii jijjiirrattanii waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe gootaniirtu: Tokkoon tokkoon keessanis lammiiwwan keessaniif bilisummaa labsitaniirtu. Mana Maqaa kootiin waamamu keessatti fuula koo duratti kakuu galtaniirtu.
And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 Amma garuu garagaltanii maqaa koo xureessitan; tokkoon tokkoon keessan garboota dhiiraa dubartii isin akka isaan gara fedhan deemaniif bilisa baaftanii turtan sana deebiftanii fudhattaniirtu. Akka isaan ammas garboota keessan taʼaniif isaan dirqamsiiftaniirtu.
but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
17 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Isin naaf hin ajajamne; lammiiwwan keessaniifis bilisummaa hin labsine. Kanaafuu ani amma, ‘Bilisummaa isinii nan labsa’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Bilisummaan’ kunis bilisummaa goraadeedhaan, dhaʼichaa fi beelaan dhumuu ti. Ani fuula mootummoota lafaa hundaa durattis akka isin jibbamtan nan godha.
Therefore thus saith the LORD: Ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 Warra kakuu koo cabsanii walii galtee kakuu fuula koo duratti godhan sanaa hin eegin immoo akkuma jabbii isaan iddoo lamatti qoodanii gidduu isaanii baʼanii darban sanaa nan godha.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;
19 Dura buutota Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem, qondaaltota mana murtii, lubootaa fi uummata biyyattii kanneen jabbii gargar qoodame sana gidduu baʼanii darban hunda,
the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20 dabarsee diinota lubbuu isaanii balleessuu barbaadanitti nan kenna. Reeffi isaanii allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata ni taʼa.
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 “Anis Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatii fi qondaaltota isaa dabarsee diinota isaanii warra lubbuu isaanii balleessuu barbaadanitti, loltoota mootii Baabilon kanneen isin loluu irraa deebiʼanitti nan kenna.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
22 Ani ajaja kennee, gara magaalaa kanaatti deebisee isaan nan fida jedha Waaqayyo. Isaanis ishee ni lolu; qabataniis ibiddaan ishee gubu. Anis akka namni tokko iyyuu keessa hin jiraanneef magaalaawwan Yihuudaa nan onsa.”
Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
