Ermiyaas 40
1 Erga Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun Raamaatti gad isa dhiisee booddee dubbiin kun Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe. Ajajaan sun isaa boojiʼamtoota Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaadhaa boojiʼamanii gara Baabilonitti geeffamaa turan hunda gidduutti foncaan hidhamee jiru Ermiyaasin arge.
The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord after that Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde had let him goe from Ramath, when hee had taken him being bound in chaines among all that were caried away captiue of Ierusalem and Iudah, which were caried away captiue vnto Babel.
2 Ajajaan eegumsaa sunis yommuu Ermiyaasin argetti akkana jedheen; “Waaqayyo Waaqni kee badiisa kana iddoo kanatti labseera.
And the chiefe stewarde tooke Ieremiah, and said vnto him, The Lord thy God hath pronounced this plague vpon this place.
3 Waaqayyo amma iyyuu waan kana fideera; inni akkuma dubbate sana godheera. Sababii isin Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjettanii fi isaaf hin ajajaminiif wanni kun hundi taʼe.
Nowe the Lord hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye haue sinned against the Lord, and haue not obeyed his voyce, therefore this thing is come vpon you.
4 Ani garuu harʼa foncaa harka keetii sirraa hiikeera. Ati yoo na wajjin Baabilon dhaquu feete kottu; anis sin kunuunsaa; yoo fedhuu baatte garuu hin dhufin. Kunoo biyyattiin guutumaan guutuutti fuula kee dura jirti; iddoo jaallatte dhaqi.”
And nowe beholde, I loose thee this day from the chaines which were on thine handes, if it please thee to come with me into Babel, come, and I will looke well vnto thee: but if it please thee not to come with mee into Babel, tarie still: beholde, all the lande is before thee: whither it seemeth good, and conuenient for thee to goe, thither goe.
5 Taʼus utuu Ermiyaas of irra hin deebiʼin Nebuzaradaan itti dabalee, “Gara Gedaaliyaas ilma Shaafaan ilma Ahiiqaam isa mootichi Baabilon magaalaawwan Yihuudaa irratti muude sanaa deebiʼiitii isa wajjin saba keessa jiraadhu, yookaan iddoo jaallatte kam iyyuu dhaqi” jedheen. Akkasiin ajajaan eegumsaa sun galaa fi kennaa kenneefii gad isa dhiise.
For yet he was not returned: therefore he said, Returne to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, the sonne of Shaphan, whom the King of Babel hath made gouernour ouer all the cities of Iudah, and dwell with him among the people, or goe wheresoeuer it pleaseth thee to goe. So the chiefe stewarde gaue him vitailes and a rewarde, and let him goe.
6 Kanaafuu Ermiyaas gara Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam kan Miisphaa jiraatu sanaa dhaqee isa wajjin saba biyya sanatti hafe gidduu jiraate.
Then went Ieremiah vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwelt there with him among the people that were left in the lande.
7 Ajajjoonni loltootaa hundii fi namoonni isaanii kanneen hamma yeroo sanaatti ala turan yeroo akka mootichi Baabilon Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam sana bulchaa kutaa biyyaa godhee muudee fi akka inni dhiiraa dubartii fi ijoollee hiyyeeyyii kanneen boojiʼamanii gara Baabilonitti hin geeffamin irratti itti gaafatama kenneef dhagaʼanitti,
Nowe when all the captaines of the hoste, which were in the fieldes, euen they and their men heard, that the King of Babel had made Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam gouernour in the land, and that he had committed vnto him, men, and women, and children, and of the poore of the lande, that were not caried away captiue to Babel,
8 Gedaaliyaas bira gara Miisphaa dhufan. Isaanis Ishmaaʼeel ilma Naataaniyaa, Yoohaanaanii fi Yoonaataan ilmaan Qaareyaa, Seraayaa ilma Tanhumeeti, ilmaan Eefayi namicha Netoof sanaatii fi Yezaaniyaa ilma namicha Maʼakaat, akkasumas namoota isaanii turan.
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, euen Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and Iohanan, and Ionathan the sonnes of Kareah, and Seraiah the sonne of Tanehumeth, and the sonnes of Ephai, the Netophathite, and Iezaniah the sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.
9 Gedaaliyaas ilmi Shaafaan, ilmi Ahiiqaam akkana jedhee isaanii fi namoota isaaniitiif kakate; “Baabilonota tajaajiluu hin sodaatinaa; biyyattii keessa qubadhaatii mooticha Baabilon tajaajilaa; waan gaariitu isinii taʼaatii.
And Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, the sonne of Shaphan sware vnto them, and to their men, saying, Feare not to serue the Caldeans: dwell in the lande, and serue the King of Babel, and it shall be well with you.
10 Ani mataan koo fuula Baabilonota gara keenya dhufanii duratti iddoo keessan buʼuuf Miisphaa keessa nan tura; isin garuu wayinii, ija bonaatii fi zayitii walitti qabaatii gombisaatti naqadhaa; magaalaawwan qabattan keessas jiraadhaa.”
As for me, Beholde, I will dwell at Mizpah to serue the Caldeans, which will come vnto vs: but you, gather you wine, and sommer fruites, and oyle, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities, that ye haue taken.
11 Yihuudoonni Moʼaab, Amoon, Edoomii fi biyyoota biraa hunda keessa jiraatan hundi yommuu akka mootiin Baabilon Yihuudaa keessatti hambaa hambisee fi akka inni Gedaaliyaas ilma Shaafaan ilma Ahiiqaam bulchaa godhee isaan irratti muude dhagaʼanitti,
Likewise when all the Iewes that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the King of Babel had left a remnant of Iudah, and that he had set ouer them Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan,
12 hundi isaanii biyyoota itti bittinnaaʼan hunda keessaa baʼanii Yihuudaatti deebiʼanii Miisphaatti Gedaaliyaas bira dhufan. Isaanis wayinii fi ija bonaa baayʼee walitti qabatan.
Euen all the Iewes returned out of all places where they were driuen, and came to the land of Iudah to Gedaliah vnto Mizpah, and gathered wine and sommer fruites, very much.
13 Yeroo kanatti Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoonni loltoota ala turanii hundi Gedaaliyaas bira Miisphaa dhaqanii,
Moreouer Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, that were in the fieldes, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
14 akkana jedhaniin; “Ati akka mootiin Amoonotaa Baʼaaliis jedhamu sun si ajjeesuuf jedhee, Ishmaaʼeel ilma Naataaniyaa erge hin beektuu?” Gedaaliyaas ilmi Ahiiqaam garuu isaan hin amanne.
And said vnto him, Knowest thou not that Baalis the King of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam beleeued them not.
15 Kana irratti Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaa Miisphaa keessatti Gedaaliyaasin kophaatti baasee akkana jedheen; “Akka ani dhaqee Ishmaaʼeel ilma Naataaniyaa sana ajjeesu naa eeyyami; namni tokko iyyuu waan kana hin beeku. Inni maaliif si ajjeesee akka Yihuudoonni naannoo keetti walitti qabaman hundi bittinneeffamanii hambaan Yihuudaas barbadaaʼu godha?”
Then Iohanan the sonne of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me goe, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it. Wherefore should he kill thee, that all the Iewes, which are gathered vnto thee, shoulde be scattered, and the remnant in Iudah perish?
16 Gedaaliyaas ilmi Ahiiqaam garuu, Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaatiin, “Ati waan akkasii hin hojjetin! Wanni ati waaʼee Ishmaaʼeel dubbattu kun dhugaa mitii” jedhe.
But Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam said vnto Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, Thou shalt not doe this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
