Ermiyaas 36
1 Bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa waggaa afuraffaatti dubbiin akkana jedhu Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
This message from the Lord came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
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.
Get a scroll and write down everything I've told you condemning Israel, Judah, and all the other nations, from the time I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah right up till now.
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.”
Maybe when the people of Judah hear about all the disasters I plan to bring down on them, everyone will stop their evil ways. Then I will forgive their guilt and sin.
4 Ermiyaasis Baaruk ilma Neeriyaa waame; Baaruk immoo dubbii Waaqayyo dubbate sana Ermiyaas irraa dhagaʼee kitaaba maramaa irratti barreesse.
So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah to come, and while Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote down on a scroll everything that the Lord had told Jeremiah.
5 Ermiyaas akkana jedhee Baarukin ajaje; “Ani mana Waaqayyoo seenuu dhowwameera.
Then Jeremiah gave Baruch these instructions: “I'm a prisoner here so I can't go into the Lord's Temple.
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.
So you have to go to the Lord's Temple on a day when people are fasting, and read to them the Lord's messages from the scroll I dictated to you. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.
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.”
Maybe they will come and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and all of them will stop their evil ways, for the Lord is threatening terrible anger against them.”
8 Baaruk ilmi Neeriyaas waan Ermiyaas raajichi isatti hime hunda ni hojjete; mana Waaqayyoo keessattis kitaaba maramaa sana irraa dubbii Waaqayyoo dubbise.
Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what Jeremiah the prophet had told him to do. He went and read the Lord's message from the scroll in the Temple.
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.
This is how it happened. A fast to honor the Lord was declared involving all the people of Jerusalem and everyone who had come there from the towns of Judah. This was in the ninth month of the fifth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah.
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.
Baruch read from the scroll what Jeremiah had dictated so that everyone could hear. He read it from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe. This was in the upper Temple courtyard at the New Gate entrance.
11 Miikiyaas ilmi Gemaariyaa ilma Shaafaan yeroo dubbii Waaqayyoo hunda kitaaba maramaa irraa dhagaʼetti,
When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the Lord's messages read from the scroll,
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 went down to the royal secretary's room in the king's palace, where all the officials had gathered. Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were there.
13 Miikiyaas waan yeroo Baaruk kitaaba maramaa irraa uummataaf dubbisetti dhagaʼe sana hunda isaaniitti hime.
Micaiah gave them a report of everything he'd heard Baruch read from the scroll to 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.
The officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to summon Baruch, telling him, “Bring the scroll that you read to the people, and come here.” So Baruch went to see them taking the scroll with him.
15 Jarris, “Maaloo, taaʼiitii kitaabicha nuu dubbisi” jedhaniin. Kanaafuu Baaruk kitaaba sana isaaniif dubbise.
“Please sit down and read it to us,” they said. So Baruch read it to them.
16 Isaanis yommuu dubbii kana hunda dhagaʼanitti sodaadhaan wal ilaalanii Baarukiin, “Nu waan kana hunda mootichatti himuu qabna” jedhan.
After they'd heard everything, they were frightened and looked at each other. They said to Baruch, “We've got to tell the king about all this.”
17 Ergasii isaan Baarukiin, “Mee nutti himi; ati akkamitti waan kana hunda barreessite? Ermiyaasitu sitti himee?” jedhanii gaafatan.
Then they asked Baruch, “Now tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?”
18 Baarukis, “Eeyyee, Ermiyaasitu dubbii kana hunda natti hime; ani immoo qalamiidhaan kitaaba maramaa irratti barreesse” jedhee deebise.
“Yes, he dictated it,” Baruch replied. “I wrote down in ink on the scroll everything he told me.”
19 Kana irratti qondaaltonni sun Baarukiin, “Atii fi Ermiyaas dhaqaa dhokadhaa. Namni tokko iyyuu iddoo isin jirtan hin beekin” jedhan.
The officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah are going to have to hide. Don't tell anyone where you are.”
20 Isaanis kitaaba maramaa sana kutaa Eliishaamaa barreessaa sanaa keessa kaaʼanii mooticha bira gara oobdii dhaqanii waan hunda isatti himan.
Then the officials went to see the king in the courtyard. They had kept the scroll safe in Elishama the secretary's room while they gave a full report to 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.
The king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll. He went and got it from Elishama the secretary's room. Then Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who were there standing next to him.
22 Yeroon sun jiʼa saglaffaa ture; mootichis mana itti yeroo gannaa dabarsu keessa taaʼaa ture; ibiddi girgiraa guddaa irratti bobaʼus fuula isaa dura ture.
It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in front of a fire in his winter quarters.
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.
Whenever Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, Jehoiakim would chop them off with a scribe's knife and toss them into the fire. Eventually the whole scroll was completely burned up.
24 Taʼu illee mootichii fi tajaajiltoonni isaa kanneen dubbii kana hunda dhagaʼan hundi homaa hin sodaanne yookaan uffata isaanii hin tarsaafne.
Despite hearing all these messages, the king and his attendants weren't frightened and didn't tear their clothes in remorse.
25 Mootichi yoo Elnaataan, Delaayaa fi Gemaariyaan akka inni kitaabicha hin gubneef isa kadhatan iyyuu isaan hin dhageenye.
Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to 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.
In fact the king ordered Jerahmeel, one of the princes, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to go and arrest Baruch and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them.
27 Erga mootichi kitaaba maramaa kan Baaruk dubbii Ermiyaas irraa dhagaʼe itti barreesse sana gubee booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
After the king burned the scroll Jeremiah had dictated to Baruch, a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
28 “Kitaaba maramaa biraa fuudhiitii dubbii kitaabicha duraa kan Yehooyaaqiim mootichi Yihuudaa gube irra ture sana hunda itti barreessi.
Get another scroll and write everything out that was on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah 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.
Regarding Jehoiakim king of Judah announce that this is what the Lord says: You have burned the scroll and asked, “Why did you write that the king of Babylon is going to come and destroy this country and kill all its people and animals?”
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.
So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He won't have anyone to succeed him as king, sitting on David's throne. His body will be thrown out to lie in the heat of the day and the cold of the 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.’”
I'm going to punish him and his descendants and officials for their sins. I will bring down on them and on the people living in Jerusalem and Judah, all the disasters I warned them about but they refused to listen.
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.
Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to Baruch. Jeremiah dictated everything that was in the scroll that Jehoiakim had burned in the fire and Barcuh wrote it down. Even more messages of a similar kind were added.
