Ermiyaas 36
1 Bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa waggaa afuraffaatti dubbiin akkana jedhu Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, 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 a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I 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.”
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may 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.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all Yahweh’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
5 Ermiyaas akkana jedhee Baarukin ajaje; “Ani mana Waaqayyoo seenuu dhowwameera.
Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into Yahweh’s house.
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 go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, Yahweh’s words, in the ears of the people in Yahweh’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of 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.”
It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will each return from his evil way; for Yahweh has pronounced great anger and wrath 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.
Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book Yahweh’s words in Yahweh’s house.
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.
Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
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.
Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in Yahweh’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Miikiyaas ilmi Gemaariyaa ilma Shaafaan yeroo dubbii Waaqayyoo hunda kitaaba maramaa irraa dhagaʼetti,
When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all Yahweh’s words,
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 into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 Miikiyaas waan yeroo Baaruk kitaaba maramaa irraa uummataaf dubbisetti dhagaʼe sana hunda isaaniitti hime.
Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in 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.
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
15 Jarris, “Maaloo, taaʼiitii kitaabicha nuu dubbisi” jedhaniin. Kanaafuu Baaruk kitaaba sana isaaniif dubbise.
They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Isaanis yommuu dubbii kana hunda dhagaʼanitti sodaadhaan wal ilaalanii Baarukiin, “Nu waan kana hunda mootichatti himuu qabna” jedhan.
Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
17 Ergasii isaan Baarukiin, “Mee nutti himi; ati akkamitti waan kana hunda barreessite? Ermiyaasitu sitti himee?” jedhanii gaafatan.
They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”
18 Baarukis, “Eeyyee, Ermiyaasitu dubbii kana hunda natti hime; ani immoo qalamiidhaan kitaaba maramaa irratti barreesse” jedhee deebise.
Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
19 Kana irratti qondaaltonni sun Baarukiin, “Atii fi Ermiyaas dhaqaa dhokadhaa. Namni tokko iyyuu iddoo isin jirtan hin beekin” jedhan.
Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
20 Isaanis kitaaba maramaa sana kutaa Eliishaamaa barreessaa sanaa keessa kaaʼanii mooticha bira gara oobdii dhaqanii waan hunda isatti himan.
They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told 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.
So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside 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 fire in the brazier burning before him.
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.
When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
24 Taʼu illee mootichii fi tajaajiltoonni isaa kanneen dubbii kana hunda dhagaʼan hundi homaa hin sodaanne yookaan uffata isaanii hin tarsaafne.
The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.
25 Mootichi yoo Elnaataan, Delaayaa fi Gemaariyaan akka inni kitaabicha hin gubneef isa kadhatan iyyuu isaan hin dhageenye.
Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would 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.
The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh 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:
Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 “Kitaaba maramaa biraa fuudhiitii dubbii kitaabicha duraa kan Yehooyaaqiim mootichi Yihuudaa gube irra ture sana hunda itti barreessi.
“Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which 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.
Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Yahweh says: “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”
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.
Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
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 will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t 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.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.
