Ermiyaas 43

1 Erga Ermiyaas dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii kan Waaqayyo akka inni nama hundatti himuuf isa erge sana dubbatee fixee booddee,

And it came about that when Jeremiah had come to the end of giving all the people the words of the Lord their God, which the Lord their God had sent him to say to them, even all these words,

2 Azaariyaa ilmi Hooshaʼiyaa, Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaatii fi namoonni of tuulan hundi Ermiyaasiin akkana jedhan; “Ati ni sobda! Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya akka ati, ‘Isin achi jiraachuuf jettanii biyya Gibxi dhaquu hin qabdan’ jettuuf si hin ergine.

Then Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the men of pride, said to Jeremiah, You have said what is false: the Lord our God has not sent you to say, You are not to go into the land of Egypt and make your living-place there:

3 Baaruk ilmi Neeriyaa garuu akka ati akka isaan nu fixaniif yookaan boojiʼanii Baabilonitti nu geessaniif dabarsitee harka Baabilonotaatti nu kennituuf si kakaasaa jira.”

But Baruch, the son of Neriah, is moving you against us, to give us up into the hands of the Chaldaeans so that they may put us to death, and take us away prisoners into Babylon.

4 Kanaafuu Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoonni waraanaa hundii fi sabni hundi ajaja Waaqayyo akka isaan biyya Yihuudaa turaniif kenneef sana didan.

So Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not give ear to the order of the Lord that they were to go on living in the land of Judah.

5 Qooda kanaa Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoonni waraanaa hundi hambaa Yihuudaa kanneen biyyoota itti bibittinneeffaman hunda keessaa deebiʼanii biyya Yihuudaa keessa jiraachuuf dhufan hunda fudhatanii deeman.

But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces took all the rest of Judah who had come back into the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been forced to go;

6 Akkasumas dhiiraa dubartii, ijoollee fi intallan mootii kanneen Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam, ilma Shaafaan, Ermiyaas raajichaa fi Baaruk ilma Neeriyaa biratti dhiise sana hunda fudhatanii deeman.

The men and the women and the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch, the son of Neriah;

7 Isaanis akkasiin Waaqayyoof ajajamuu diduudhaan biyya Gibxitti galanii hamma Tahiphaanhees keessa lixan.

And they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: and they came to Tahpanhes.

8 Tahiphaanheesittis dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 “Dhagaa gurguddaa guuriitii balbala masaraa Faraʼoon kan Tahiphaanhees jiru sanaa biratti utuma Yihuudoonni ilaalanuu afaa suphee keessatti awwaali.

Take in your hand some great stones, and put them in a safe place in the paste in the brickwork which is at the way into Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah;

10 Ergasii akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani tajaajilaa koo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti nama ergee nan waama; teessoo isaa illee dhagaa asitti awwaale kana irra nan dhaaba; innis dunkaana mootummaa ofii isaa isa irratti ni diriirfata.

And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and he will put the seat of his kingdom on these stones which have been put in a safe place here by you; and his tent will be stretched over them.

11 Inni dhufee Gibxin ni lola; warra duʼaaf ramadamanitti duʼa, warra boojuuf ramadamanitti boojuu, warra goraadeef ramadamanitti goraadee ni fida.

And he will come and overcome the land of Egypt; those who are for death will be put to death, those who are to be prisoners will be made prisoners, and those who are for the sword will be given to the sword.

12 Inni manneen waaqeffannaa waaqota Gibxitti ibidda qabsiisa; manneen waaqeffannaa isaanii gubee waaqota isaanii tolfamoo illee boojiʼa. Akkuma Tikeen tokko wayyaa marxifattu sana innis biyya Gibxi marxifatee nagumaanis achii deema.

And he will put a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and they will be burned by him: and he will make Egypt clean as a keeper of sheep makes clean his clothing; and he will go out from there in peace.

13 Inni achuma galma waaqeffannaa aduu biyya Gibxi keessatti utuboota waaqeffannaa caccabsee galma waaqeffannaa waaqota Gibxii illee ni guba.’”

And the stone pillars of Beth-shemesh in the land of Egypt will be broken by him, and the houses of the gods of Egypt burned with fire.
