Ermiyaas 44
1 Dubbiin waaʼee Yihuudoota biyya Gibxi keessa jechuunis Migdool, Tahiphaanhees, Memfiisii fi Phaxroos keessa jiraatan hundaa dubbatu kun akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, that dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying:
2 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Isin badiisa guddaa ani Yerusaalemii fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hundatti fide sana argitaniirtu. Kunoo, isaan harʼa onaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu isaan keessa hin jiraatu;
'Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein;
3 kunis sababii hammina isaan hojjetaniitiif taʼe. Isaan ixaana aarsuu fi waaqota isaan yookaan isin yookaan abbootiin keessan hin beekin biraa waaqeffachuudhaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasan.
because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke Me, in that they went to offer, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, nor ye, nor your fathers.
4 Anis, ‘Waan jibbisiisaa ani hin jaallanne kana hin hojjetinaa!’ jedhee tajaajiltoota koo raajota ammumaa amma isaanitti erge.
Howbeit I sent unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them betimes and often, saying: Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
5 Isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan gurra hin kennineef; isaan hammina isaanii irraa hin deebine yookaan waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuu hin dhiifne.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to forbear offering unto other gods.
6 Kanaafuu dheekkamsi koo sodaachisaan sun dhangalaʼee magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti bobaʼe; isaanis akkuma harʼa taʼee jiru kana ni barbadaaʼan; ni onanis.
Wherefore My fury and Mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
7 “Ammas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Isin maaliif dhiiraa fi dubartii, ijoollee fi daaʼimman Yihuudaa irraa kuttanii badiisa guddaa akkanaa ofitti fiduudhaan hambaa malee of hambiftu?
Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you none remaining;
8 Isin maaliif biyya Gibxi, lafa keessa jiraachuuf dhuftanitti waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsuudhaan waanuma harki keessan hojjeteen dheekkamsaaf na kakaaftu? Isin ofuma balleessitanii saboota lafa irraa hunda gidduutti waan abaarsaatii fi waan fafaa of gootu.
in that ye provoke Me with the works of your hands, offering unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are gone to sojourn; that ye may be cut off, and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Isin hammina abbootiin keessan, mootonni Yihuudaatii fi niitonni isaanii hojjetan, akkasumas hammina isinii fi niitonni keessan biyya Yihuudaattii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti hojjettan sana ni irraanfattanii?
Have ye forgotten the wicked deeds of your fathers, and the wicked deeds of the kings of Judah, and the wicked deeds of their wives, and your own wicked deeds, and the wicked deeds of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 Isaan hamma harʼaatti gad of hin qabne yookaan na hin sodaanne yookaan seera kootii fi qajeelfama koo kan ani fuula keessanii fi fuula abbootii keessanii dura kaaʼe sana duukaa hin buune.
They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in My law, nor in My statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
11 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani badiisa isinitti fiduu fi Yihuudaa hunda balleessuuf kutadheera.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set My face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12 Ani hambaa Yihuudaa kanneen biyya Gibxi dhaqanii achi jiraachuu murteeffatan nan balleessa. Isaan hundi Gibxitti dhumu; isaan goraadeedhaan kukkufu yookaan beelaan dhumu. Xinnaa guddaan isaanii goraadeedhaan yookaan beelaan duʼa. Isaan waan abaarsaatii fi waan sodaa, waan yakkaatii fi waan fafaa taʼu.
And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
13 Ani akkuma Yerusaalemin adabe sana warra Gibxi keessa jiraatan illee goraadeedhaan, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan nan adaba.
For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
14 Hambaa Yihuudaa kanneen biyya Gibxi keessa jiraachuu dhaqan keessaa namni miliqu yookaan biyya Yihuudaa kan achi jiraachuuf hawwan sanatti deebiʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; baqattoota tokko tokko malee isaan hin deebiʼaniitii.”
so that none of the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for none shall return save such as shall escape.'
15 Ergasiis namoonni akka niitonni isaanii waaqota biraatiif ixaana aarsan beekan hundii fi dubartoonni achi turan, walumatti waldaan guddaan tokkoo fi namoonni biyya Gibxi keessa Phaxroos jiraatan hundi Ermiyaasiin akkana jedhan;
Then all the men who knew that their wives offered unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great assembly, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying:
16 “Nu dubbii ati maqaa Waaqayyootiin nutti dubbatte sana hin dhageenyu!
'As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
17 Nu waan ni hojjenna jenne hunda dhugumaan ni hojjenna: Akkuma nuu fi abbootiin keenya, mootonni keenyaa fi qondaaltonni keenya magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti goone sana nu Mootittii Samiitiif ixaana ni aarsina; dhibaayyuus ni dhibaafanna. Nu yeroo sanatti nyaata akka malee baayʼee qabna turre; haala tolaa keessa jiraanne malee hin miidhamne.
But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to offer unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 Erga Mootittii Samiitiif ixaana aarsuu fi dhibaayyuu dhibaafachuu dhiifne garuu nu goraadee fi beelaan dhumaa jirra malee homaa hin arganne.”
But since we let off to offer to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
19 Dubartoonnis kana irratti, “Yeroo nu Mootittii Samiitiif ixaana aarsinee dhibaayyuu illee dhibaafanneef sana akka nu fakkii isheetiin keekii tolchinee dhibaayuu dhibaafannuuf dhirsoonni keenya ni beeku mitii?” jedhan.
And is it we that offer to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink-offerings unto her? did we make her cakes in her image, and pour out drink-offerings unto her, without our husbands?'
20 Ermiyaas uummata deebii isaaf kennaa ture dhiiraa dubartii hundaan akkana jedhe;
Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people that had given him that answer, saying:
21 “Waaqayyo waaʼee ixaana isinii fi abbootiin keessan, mootonni keessanii fi qondaaltonni keessan, sabni biyyattiis magaalaawwan Yihuudaatii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem keessatti aarsitan sanaa yaadatee garaatti hin qabannee?
'The offering that ye offered in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into His mind?
22 Yeroo Waaqayyo hojii keessan hamaa fi waan jibbisiisaa isin hojjettan sana argee obsuu dadhabetti biyyi keessan akkuma amma jirtu kana waan abaarsaatii fi ona duwwaa namni keessa hin jiraanne taʼee hafe.
So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
23 Sababii isin ixaana aarsitanii Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjettanii fi isaaf ajajamuu diddaniif yookaan seera isaa yookaan labsii isaa yookaan qajeelfama isaa illee duukaa buʼuu diddaniif balaan kun akkuma isin amma argitan kana isinitti dhufe.”
Because ye have offered, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not hearkened to the voice of the LORD, nor walked in His law, nor in His statutes, nor in His testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.'
24 Ermiyaasis saba hundaa fi dubartoota hundaan akkana jedhe; “Isin sabni Yihuudaa warri biyya Gibxi keessa jiraattan hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women: 'Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
25 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Isinii fi niitonni keessan waan, ‘Nu dhugumaan wareega waaqittii samiitiif ixaana aarsuu fi dhibaayyuu illee dhibaafachuuf wareegne sana ni guunna’ jettanitti waadaa galtan sana hojiidhaan argisiiftaniirtu. “Egaa ittuma fufaatii waan waadaa galtan sana raawwadhaa! Wareega keessanis guutadhaa!
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying: We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to offer to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her; ye shall surely establish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
26 Isin Yihuudoonni biyya Gibxi keessa jiraattan hundi garuu dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa: Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Akka namni Yihuudaadhaa dhufee biyya Gibxi keessa eessa iyyuu jiraatu tokko iyyuu lammata maqaa koo hin dhoofne yookaan, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo Goofticha jiraataa” jedhee hin kakanneen ani maqaa koo guddaadhaan nan kakadha.
Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, saith the LORD, that My name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt saying: As the Lord GOD liveth.
27 Ani waan hamaaf isaan ilaalaan jira malee waan tolaaf isaan ilaalaa hin jiruutii; Yihuudoonni biyya Gibxi keessa jiraatan hamma hundi isaanii barbadeeffamanitti goraadee fi beelaan dhumu.
Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
28 Warri goraadee jalaa miliqanii biyya Gibxii gara Yihuudaatti deebiʼan akka malee xinnoo taʼu. Gaafas hambaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen biyya Gibxi keessa jiraachuuf dhufan guutuun akka dubbiin kootii fi kan isaanii keessaa kan eenyuu fiixaan baʼu ni beeku.
And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, Mine, or theirs.
29 “‘Akka ani iddoo kanatti isin adabu wanni kun mallattoo isiniif taʼa;’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘kunis akka isin akka dubbiin koo dhugumaan isiniin mormee dhaabatu beektaniif.’
And this shall be the sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that My words shall surely stand against you for evil;
30 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani akkuma Zedeqiyaa Mooticha Yihuudaa dabarsee diina lubbuu isaa galaafachuu barbaadutti Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti kenne sana Faraʼoon Hofraa mooticha Gibxi illee dabarsee diinota isaa warra lubbuu isaa galaafachuu barbaadanitti nan kenna.’”
thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.'
