Ermiyaas 36
1 Bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa waggaa afuraffaatti dubbiin akkana jedhu Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
And it happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: it happened that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
2 “Kitaaba maramaa fudhadhuutii dubbii ani bara mootummaa Yosiyaasii jalqabee hamma ammaatti waaʼee Israaʼelii fi waaʼee Yihuudaa, waaʼee saboota kaan hundaas sitti dubbadhe sana hunda irratti barreessi.
“Take the volume of a book, and you shall write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah, and against all the nations, from the day when I first spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
3 Tarii sabni Yihuudaa yeroo waaʼee badiisa ani isaanitti fiduuf yaade hundaa dhagaʼanitti tokkoon tokkoon isaanii karaa isaanii hamaa sana irraa ni deebiʼu taʼa; yoos ani hammina isaaniitii fi cubbuu isaanii nan dhiisaaf.”
Perhaps it may be that the house of Judah, upon hearing all the evils that I have decided to do to them, may return, each one from his wicked way, and then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Ermiyaasis Baaruk ilma Neeriyaa waame; Baaruk immoo dubbii Waaqayyo dubbate sana Ermiyaas irraa dhagaʼee kitaaba maramaa irratti barreesse.
Therefore, Jeremiah called Baruch, the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, in the volume of a book.
5 Ermiyaas akkana jedhee Baarukin ajaje; “Ani mana Waaqayyoo seenuu dhowwameera.
And Jeremiah instructed Baruch, saying: “I am confined, and so I am unable to enter into the house of the Lord.
6 Kanaafuu ati guyyaa soomaa tokko mana Waaqayyoo dhaqiitii dubbii Waaqayyoo kan narraa dhageessee barreessite sana kitaaba maramaa irraa sabaaf dubbisi. Namoota Yihuudaa warra magaalaawwan isaanii irraa dhufan hundaaf dubbii sana dubbisi.
Therefore, you shall enter and read from the volume, in which you have written from my mouth the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the house of the Lord on the day of the fast. Moreover, you shall also read them in the hearing of all those of Judah who are arriving from their cities.
7 Tarii isaan kadhannaa isaanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeeffatanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii karaa isaanii hamaa sana irraa ni deebiʼu taʼa; aarii fi dheekkamsi Waaqayyo saba kana irratti labse guddadhaatii.”
Perhaps it may happen that they pray in the sight of the Lord, and each one may return from his wicked way. For great is the fury and indignation that the Lord has declared against this people.”
8 Baaruk ilmi Neeriyaas waan Ermiyaas raajichi isatti hime hunda ni hojjete; mana Waaqayyoo keessattis kitaaba maramaa sana irraa dubbii Waaqayyoo dubbise.
And Baruch, the son of Neriah, acted in accord with all that Jeremiah, the prophet, had instructed him, reading from the volume the words of the Lord, in the house of the Lord.
9 Bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaasi mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa jiʼa saglaffaa waggaa shanaffaatti guyyaan fuula Waaqayyo duratti sooman tokko saba Yerusaalem keessa jiraatuu fi warra magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii dhufan hundaaf ni labsame.
And it happened that, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast, in the sight of the Lord, to all the people in Jerusalem, and to the entire multitude which had flowed together, from the cities of Judah, into Jerusalem.
10 Baarukis kutaa Gemaariyaa ilma Shaafaan barreessaa sanaa kan oobdii ol aanaa keessa balbala mana qulqullummaa, kan Karra Haaraa jedhamu biraa sana keessa dhaabatee saba mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa ture hundaaf dubbii Ermiyaas sana kitaaba maramaa irraa dubbise.
And Baruch read from the volume the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, at the treasury of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper vestibule, at the entrance to the new gate of the house of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people.
11 Miikiyaas ilmi Gemaariyaa ilma Shaafaan yeroo dubbii Waaqayyoo hunda kitaaba maramaa irraa dhagaʼetti,
And when Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book,
12 gara kutaa barreessaa kan masaraa mootummaa keessaa, iddoo qondaaltonni hundi tataaʼaa turanitti gad buʼe; isaanis Eliishaamaa barreessaa, Delaayaa ilma Shemaaʼiyaa, Elnaataan ilma Akboor, Gemaariyaa ilma Shaafaan, Zedeqiyaas ilma Hanaaniyaatii fi qondaaltota biraa hundaa dha.
he descended to the house of the king, to the treasury of the scribe. And behold, all the leaders were sitting there: Elishama, the scribe, and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the leaders.
13 Miikiyaas waan yeroo Baaruk kitaaba maramaa irraa uummataaf dubbisetti dhagaʼe sana hunda isaaniitti hime.
And Micaiah announced to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the volume to the ears of the people.
14 Qondaaltonni hundis akka inni Baarukiin, “Kitaaba maramaa uummataaf dubbifte sana fidii kottu” jedhuuf Yehuudii ilma Naataaniyaa, ilma Shelemiyaa, ilma Kuushii ergan. Kanaafuu Baaruk ilmi Neeriyaa kitaaba maramaa sana harkatti qabatee gara isaanii dhaqe.
And so, all the leaders sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the volume, from which you have read in the hearing of the people, and come.” Therefore, Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the volume in his hand, and he went to them.
15 Jarris, “Maaloo, taaʼiitii kitaabicha nuu dubbisi” jedhaniin. Kanaafuu Baaruk kitaaba sana isaaniif dubbise.
And they said to him, “Sit and read these things in our hearing.” And Baruch read in their hearing.
16 Isaanis yommuu dubbii kana hunda dhagaʼanitti sodaadhaan wal ilaalanii Baarukiin, “Nu waan kana hunda mootichatti himuu qabna” jedhan.
Therefore, when they had heard all the words, each one looked at his neighbor in astonishment, and they said to Baruch: “We ought to report all these words to the king.”
17 Ergasii isaan Baarukiin, “Mee nutti himi; ati akkamitti waan kana hunda barreessite? Ermiyaasitu sitti himee?” jedhanii gaafatan.
And they questioned him, saying, “Describe to us how you wrote all these words from his mouth.”
18 Baarukis, “Eeyyee, Ermiyaasitu dubbii kana hunda natti hime; ani immoo qalamiidhaan kitaaba maramaa irratti barreesse” jedhee deebise.
Then Baruch said to them: “He was speaking with his mouth, as if reading to me. And I wrote in a volume with ink.”
19 Kana irratti qondaaltonni sun Baarukiin, “Atii fi Ermiyaas dhaqaa dhokadhaa. Namni tokko iyyuu iddoo isin jirtan hin beekin” jedhan.
And the leaders said to Baruch: “Go away and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”
20 Isaanis kitaaba maramaa sana kutaa Eliishaamaa barreessaa sanaa keessa kaaʼanii mooticha bira gara oobdii dhaqanii waan hunda isatti himan.
And they entered to the king, in the court. Furthermore, they stored the volume in the treasury of Elishama, the scribe. And they announced all the words in the hearing of the king.
21 Mootichis akka inni kitaabicha fiduuf Yihuudii erge; Yehuudiinis kutaa Eliishaamaa barreessaa sanaa keessaa kitaabicha fidee mootichaa fi qondaaltota isa bira dhaabachaa turan hundaaf dubbise.
And the king sent Jehudi to take the volume. And bringing it from the treasury of Elishama, the scribe, he read it in the hearing of the king and of all the leaders who were standing around the king.
22 Yeroon sun jiʼa saglaffaa ture; mootichis mana itti yeroo gannaa dabarsu keessa taaʼaa ture; ibiddi girgiraa guddaa irratti bobaʼus fuula isaa dura ture.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house, in the ninth month. And there was a hearth placed before him, filled with burning coals.
23 Yommuu Yehuudiin kitaaba maramaa sana keessaa boʼoo sadii yookaan afur dubbisutti, mootichi hamma kitaabni sun guutumaan guutuutti gubatee dhumutti haaduu barreessaatiin kukkutee girgiraa ibiddaatti darbachaa ture.
And when Jehudi had read three or four pages, he cut it with a small knife, and he threw it into the fire which was upon the hearth, until the entire volume was consumed by the fire which was upon the hearth.
24 Taʼu illee mootichii fi tajaajiltoonni isaa kanneen dubbii kana hunda dhagaʼan hundi homaa hin sodaanne yookaan uffata isaanii hin tarsaafne.
And the king and all his servants, who had heard all these words, were not afraid, and they did not rend their garments.
25 Mootichi yoo Elnaataan, Delaayaa fi Gemaariyaan akka inni kitaabicha hin gubneef isa kadhatan iyyuu isaan hin dhageenye.
Yet truly, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah contradicted the king, so that he might not burn the book. But he did not listen to them.
26 Qooda kanaa mootichi akka isaan Baaruk barreessaa sanaa fi Ermiyaas raajicha hidhaniif Yeramiʼeel ilma mootii, Seraayaa ilma Azriiʼeeliitii fi Shelemiyaa ilma Abdiʼeel ajaje. Waaqayyo garuu isaan dhoksee ture.
And the king instructed Jerahmeel, the son of Amelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, so that they would apprehend Baruch, the scribe, and Jeremiah, the prophet. But the Lord concealed them.
27 Erga mootichi kitaaba maramaa kan Baaruk dubbii Ermiyaas irraa dhagaʼe itti barreesse sana gubee booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
And after the king had burned the volume and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, saying:
28 “Kitaaba maramaa biraa fuudhiitii dubbii kitaabicha duraa kan Yehooyaaqiim mootichi Yihuudaa gube irra ture sana hunda itti barreessi.
“Again, take another volume and write in it all the former words, which were in the first volume that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.
29 Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaatiinis akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ati kitaaba maramaa sana gubdee, “Ati maaliif akka mootiin Baabilon dhugumaan dhufee biyya kana balleessee namaa fi horii keessaa hobbaasu kitaabicha irratti barreessite?” jettee gaafatte.
And you shall say to Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: Thus says the Lord: You have burned that volume, saying: ‘Why have you written in it, announcing that the king of Babylon will advance quickly, and will devastate this land, and will cause both man and beast to cease from it?’
30 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo waaʼee Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa akkana jedha: Inni nama teessoo Daawit irra taaʼu hin qabaatu; reeffi isaas gad darbatamee hoʼa guyyaatii fi qorra halkaniitti ni saaxilama.
Because of this, thus says the Lord against Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: There will be, from him, no one who may sit upon the throne of David. And his dead body shall be cast out: to the heat by day, and to the frost by night.
31 Ani sababii hammina isaaniitiif isa, ijoollee isaatii fi tajaajiltoota isaa nan adaba; sababii isaan na dhaggeeffachuu didaniif ani balaa isaanittin fida jedhee labse sana hunda isaanitti, namoota Yerusaalem keessa jiraatanii fi namoota Yihuudaatti nan fida.’”
And I will visit against him, and against his offspring, and against his servants for their iniquities. And I will lead over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and over the men of Judah, all the evil that I have declared against them, for they have not listened.”
32 Ergasii Ermiyaas kitaaba maramaa kan biraa fuudhee Baaruk ilma Neeriyaa barreessaa sanatti kenne; Baarukis akkuma Ermiyaas itti himetti dubbii kitaaba maramaa Yehooyaaqiim mootichi Yihuudaa ibiddaan gube sana irra ture hunda itti barreesse. Dubbiin dubbii kana fakkaattu hedduunis itti dabalameera.
Then Jeremiah took up another volume, and he gave it to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the scribe, who wrote in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, had burned with fire. And moreover, there were many more words added than there had been before.
