Ermiyaas 38
1 Shefaaxiyaa ilmi Mataan, Gedaaliyaas ilmi Phaashihuur, Yuukaal ilmi Shelemiyaatii fi Phaashihuur ilmi Malkiyaa waan Ermiyaas akkana jedhee saba hundatti hime dhagaʼan;
UShefathiya indodana kaMathani, loGedaliya indodana kaPashuri, loJukali indodana kaShelemiya, loPashuri indodana kaMalikiya, sebezwile amazwi uJeremiya ayewakhuluma kubo bonke abantu esithi:
2 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Namni magaalaa kana keessatti hafu kam iyyuu goraadeen, beelaan yookaan dhaʼichaan ni duʼa; namni gara Baabilonotaatti baqatu kam iyyuu garuu ni jiraata. Inni lubbuu isaatiin ni baʼa; ni jiraatas.’
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Osala kulumuzi uzakufa ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo; kodwa ophuma aye kumaKhaladiya uzaphila, ngoba uzakuba lempilo yakhe ibe yimpango, aphile.
3 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Magaalaan kun dhugumaan dabarfamtee harka waraana mootii Baabilonitti ni kennamti; innis ishee qabata.’”
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Lumuzi uzanikelwa isibili esandleni sebutho lenkosi yeBhabhiloni, elizawuthumba.
4 Kana irratti qondaaltonni sun mootichaan akkana jedhan; “Namichi kun ajjeefamuu qaba. Inni waan isaanitti dubbatuun loltoota magaalaa kana keessatti hafanii fi namoota hunda onnee dhabsiisa. Namichi kun saba kanaaf badiisa malee waan gaarii hin hawwu.”
Iziphathamandla zasezisithi enkosini: Ake abulawe lumuntu, ngoba ngalindlela uyekethisa izandla zamadoda empi asele kulumuzi, lezandla zabo bonke abantu, ngokukhuluma kibo amazwi anje; ngoba lumuntu kadingi ukuthula kwalababantu, kodwa okubi.
5 Zedeqiyaa Mootichi immoo, “Inni harkuma keessan keessa jira; mootiin isiniin mormee homaa gochuu hin dandaʼu” jedhee deebise.
Inkosi uZedekhiya yasisithi: Khangela, usesandleni senu, ngoba inkosi kayilakho okuphambene lani ngalutho.
6 Kanaafuu isaan Ermiyaasin fuudhanii boolla bishaanii kan Malkiyaa ilma mootichaa keessa buusan; boolli bishaanii sunis oobdii eegumsaa keessa ture. Isaan funyoodhaan Ermiyaasin boolla sana keessa buusan; boolli sun dhoqqee malee bishaan hin qabu ture; Ermiyaasis dhoqqee keessa dhidhime.
Basebemthatha uJeremiya, bamphosela emgodini kaMalikiya indodana yenkosi, owawusegumeni lentolongo, bamehlisa uJeremiya ngamagoda; kwakungelamanzi emgodini, kodwa udaka; uJeremiya wasetshona odakeni.
7 Garuu Ebeed-Melek qondaalli Itoophiyaa kan masaraa mootii keessa ture sun akka isaan Ermiyaasin boolla bishaanii keessa buusan dhagaʼe. Utuma mootichi Karra Beniyaam bira taaʼee jiruus,
Kwathi uEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya indoda umthenwa, owayesendlini yenkosi, esizwa ukuthi uJeremiya bamfake emgodini (lapho inkosi yayihlezi esangweni lakoBhenjamini),
8 Ebeed-Melek masaraadhaa baʼee dhaqee akkana isaan jedhe;
uEbedimeleki waphuma endlini yenkosi, wakhuluma lenkosi esithi:
9 “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, jarri kun waan Ermiyaas raajicha godhan hundaan waan hamaa hojjetaniiru. Isaan akka inni beelaan duʼuuf yeroo buddeenni tokko iyyuu magaalaa keessa hin jirretti boolla bishaanii keessa isa buusan.”
Nkosi yami, nkosi, abantu laba benzile okubi ngakho konke abakwenze kuJeremiya umprofethi, abamphosele emgodini, ngoba uzakufa endaweni yakhe ngenxa yendlala, ngoba kakusekho isinkwa emzini.
10 Mootichis ergasii Ebeed-Melek namicha Itoophiyaa sanaan, “Nama soddoma asii fudhadhuu dhaqiitii utuu inni hin duʼin Ermiyaas raajicha boolla bishaanii keessaa baasi” jedhee ajaje.
Inkosi yasimlaya uEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya, isithi: Thatha lapha amadoda angamatshumi amathathu ngaphansi kwesandla sakho, umenyule uJeremiya umprofethi emgodini engakafi.
11 Kanaafuu Ebeed-Melek namoota sana fudhatee gara kutaa mankuusaa masaraa mootichaa keessaatiin jala jiru sanaa dhaqe. Innis darsaa fi wayyaa moofaa achii fudhatee funyoon gara boolla bishaaniitti Ermiyaasiif gad buuse.
Ngakho uEbedimeleki wathatha amadoda ngaphansi kwesandla sakhe, wangena endlini yenkosi waze waba ngaphansi kwesiphala, wathatha khona izidwedwe ezidabukileyo lezidwedwe ezigugileyo, wazehlisela kuJeremiya emgodini ngamagoda.
12 Ebeed-Melek namichi Itoophiyaa sunis Ermiyaasiin, “Akka funyoon si hin luqqisneef darsaa fi wayyaa moofaa bobaa kee jala kaaʼadhu” jedhe. Ermiyaasis akkasuma godhe;
UEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya wasesithi kuJeremiya: Ake ufake izidwedwe ezidabukileyo lezigugileyo ngaphansi kwamakhwapha akho ngaphansi kwamagoda. UJeremiya wasesenza njalo.
13 isaanis funyoo sanaan ol harkisanii boolla bishaanii keessaa isa baasan. Ermiyaasis oobdii eegumsaa keessa ture.
Basebemdonsa uJeremiya ngamagoda, bamenyula emgodini. UJeremiya wasehlala egumeni lentolongo.
14 Zedeqiyaa Mootichi Ermiyaasitti nama ergee gara balbala sadaffaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti isa fichisiise. Mootichis Ermiyaasiin, “Ani waa sin gaafadha; ati waan tokko illee na hin dhoksin” jedhe.
Inkosi uZedekhiya yasithuma yathatha uJeremiya umprofethi yamusa kuye, ekungeneni kwesithathu okusendlini yeNkosi. Inkosi yasisithi kuJeremiya: Ngizakubuza udaba, ungangifihleli lutho.
15 Ermiyaasis Zedeqiyaadhaan, “Yoo ani deebii siif kenne, ati na hin ajjeeftuu? Yoo ani si gorse iyyuu ati na hin dhageessu” jedhe.
UJeremiya wasesithi kuZedekhiya: Uba ngikutshela, kawuyikungibulala lokungibulala yini? Loba ngikweluleka, kawuyikungilalela.
16 Zedeqiyaa Mootichi garuu, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa jireenya nuu kenne sanaa ani si hin ajjeesu; warra lubbuu kee balleessuu barbaadanittis dabarsee si hin kennu” jedhee kakuu kana dhoksaatti Ermiyaasiif kakate.
Inkosi uZedekhiya yasifunga kuJeremiya ekusithekeni isithi: Kuphila kukaJehova owasenzela lumphefumulo: Isibili kangiyikukubulala, futhi isibili kangiyikukunikela esandleni salamadoda adinga umphefumulo wakho.
17 Kana irratti Ermiyaas deebisee Zedeqiyaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni, inni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Yoo ati qondaaltota mootii Baabilonitti harka kennatte lubbuun kee duʼa ni oolfamti; magaalaan kunis hin gubamtu; atii fi maatiin kee ni jiraattu.
UJeremiya wasesithi kuZedekhiya: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Uba uphuma isibili uye kuziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, umphefumulo wakho uzaphila, lalumuzi kawuyikutshiswa ngomlilo; uzaphila wena lendlu yakho.
18 Garuu yoo ati qondaaltota mootii Baabilonitti harka kennachuu baatte magaalaan kun dabarfamtee Baabilonotatti ni kennamti; isaanis ishee gubu; ati mataan kee iyyuu isaan jalaa hin baatu.’”
Kodwa uba ungaphumi uye kuziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, lumuzi uzanikelwa esandleni samaKhaladiya, awutshise ngomlilo; lawe kawuyikuphunyuka esandleni sawo.
19 Zedeqiyaa Mootichi Ermiyaasiin, “Ani Yihuudoota Baabilonotatti galan nan sodaadha; Baabilononni dabarsanii isaanitti na kennanii isaan immoo natti taphatuutii” jedhe.
Inkosi uZedekhiya yasisithi kuJeremiya: Ngiyawesaba amaJuda ahlubukele kumaKhaladiya, hlezi anginikele esandleni sawo, angiklolodele.
20 Ermiyaasis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isaan dabarsanii si hin kennan; ati waan ani sitti himu gochuudhaan Waaqayyoof ajajami. Yoos ati milkooftee lubbuun kees duʼa oolfamti.
UJeremiya wasesithi: Kawayikukunikela; ake ulalele ilizwi leNkosi njengalelo engilikhuluma kuwe, khona kukulungele, futhi umphefumulo wakho uzaphila.
21 Garuu yoo ati harka kennachuu didde, Waaqayyo waan kana naa ibseera:
Kodwa uba usala ukuphuma, yileli ilizwi iNkosi engibonise lona lokuthi:
22 Dubartoonni mana mootii Yihuudaa keessatti hafan hundi gara qondaaltota mootii Baabilonitti geeffamu. Dubartoonni sunis akkana jedhu: “‘Michoonni kee kanneen ati amanatte sun, si gowwoomsanii; si moʼatan. Miilli kee dhoqqee keessa lixe; michoonni kees si dhiisanii deeman.’
Khangela-ke, bonke abesifazana abasele endlini yenkosi yakoJuda bazakhitshelwa kuziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, bathi: Abangane bakho bakukhuthazile, bakwehlula; inyawo zakho zitshone odakeni; babuyele emuva.
23 “Niitonni keetii fi ijoolleen kee hundi Baabilonotatti geeffamu. Ati mataan kee iyyuu mootii Baabiloniin qabamta malee isaan harkaa hin baatu; magaalaan kunis ni gubamti.”
Njalo azakhuphela abafazi bonke bakho lamadodana akho kumaKhaladiya; lawe kawuyikuphunyuka esandleni sawo, kodwa uzabanjwa ngesandla senkosi yeBhabhiloni, lalumuzi uzawutshisa ngomlilo.
24 Zedeqiyaan Ermiyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Dubbii nu amma dubbanne kana namni tokko iyyuu hin beekin; yoo kanaa achii ati ni duutaa.
UZedekhiya wasesithi kuJeremiya: Kakungabi khona umuntu owaziyo lamazwi, khona ungayikufa.
25 Yoo qondaaltonni akka ani si wajjin haasaʼe dhagaʼanii si bira dhufanii, ‘Waan ati mootiidhaan jettee fi waan mootiin siin jedhe nutti himi; nu hin dhoksin; yoo kanaa achii nu si ajjeefnaa’ siin jedhan,
Kodwa nxa iziphathamandla zisizwa ukuthi ngikhulume lawe, zize kuwe zithi kuwe: Ake usitshele, ubusithini enkosini, ungakufihli kithi, khona kasiyikukubulala; njalo inkosi ikhulumeni kuwe;
26 ‘Ani akka inni gara mana Yoonaataanitti deebisee na ergee anis achitti hin duuneef mooticha kadhachaa ture’ jedhiin.”
uzakuthi-ke kuzo: Mina ngiwise ukuncenga kwami phambi kwenkosi ukuthi ingangibuyiseli endlini kaJonathani ukuze ngifele khona.
27 Ergasii qondaaltonni hundi dhufanii Ermiyaasin gaafatan; innis waan mootichi akka inni dubbatu isa ajaje hunda isaanitti hime. Sababii namni waan inni mooticha wajjin dubbate dhagaʼe tokko iyyuu hin turiniif, jarri waan kana caalaa homaa isatti hin dubbanne.
Zasezifika zonke iziphathamandla kuJeremiya, zambuza; yena waziphendula njengawo wonke lamazwi inkosi ewalayileyo. Zasezithula kuye, ngoba udaba lwalungezwakali.
28 Ermiyaasis hamma gaafa Yerusaalem qabamteetti oobdii eegumsaa sana keessa ture.
UJeremiya wasehlala egumeni lentolongo kwaze kwaba lusuku iJerusalema eyathunjwa ngalo; wayekhona lapho iJerusalema ithunjwa.
