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 to pass that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, wherewith the LORD their God had sent him 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 spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn 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 setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives to 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, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell 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 remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven to sojourn in the land of Judah;

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 that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with 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 obeyed not the voice of the LORD: and they came even to Tahpanhes.

8 Tahiphaanheesittis dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:

Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

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

Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight 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 unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

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

And he shall come, and shall smite the land of Egypt; such as are for death [shall be given] to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword 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 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

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

He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.
