Ermiyaas 5
1 “Daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irra olii gadi deddeebiʼaa; asii fi achi ilaalaatii qalbeeffadhaa; oobdiiwwan ishee sakattaʼaa. Isin yoo nama waan qajeelaa hojjetu, kan dhugaa barbaadu tokko illee argattan ani magaalaa kanaaf dhiifama nan godha.
Rove about in [the] streets of Jerusalem and see please and observe and search in open places its if you will find a person if there [is one who] does justice [one who] seeks faithfulness so I may forgive it.
2 Isaan utuma ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jedhanuu amma iyyuu sobaan kakatu.”
And though [by] [the] life of Yahweh people say therefore to falsehood they are swearing oaths.
3 Yaa Waaqayyo, iji kee dhugaa hin barbaaduu? Ati isaan dhoofte; garuu isaan hin dhukkubne; ati isaan caccabsite; isaan garuu sirreeffamuu didan. Isaan dhagaa caalaa mataa jabaatanii qalbii jijjiirrachuu didan.
O Yahweh [are] eyes your ¿ not to faithfulness you struck them and not they writhed you brought to an end them they refused to accept correction they made strong faces their more than rock they refused to return.
4 Anis akkana jedheen yaade; “Jarri kunneen hiyyeeyyii dha; isaan gowwoota; isaan karaa Waaqayyoo, seera Waaqa isaanii hin beekaniitii.
And I I said only [are] poor [people] they they have acted foolishly for not they know [the] way of Yahweh [the] ordinance of God their.
5 Kanaafuu ani hangafoota bira dhaqee isaanitti nan dubbadha; dhugumaan isaan karaa Waaqayyoo, seera Waaqa isaanis ni beeku.” Isaanis akkasuma waanjoo of irraa caccabsanii hidhaas of irraa kukkutaniiru.
I will go for myself to the great and I will speak them for they they know [the] way of Yahweh [the] ordinance of God their nevertheless they alike they had broken off a yoke they had torn off fetters.
6 Kanaafuu leenci bosonaa baʼee isaan nyaata; yeeyyiin gammoojjiis dhufee isaan balleessa; qeerransi warra gad baʼan ciccirachuuf magaalaawwan isaanii biratti riphee eeggata; fincilli isaanii akka malee guddate; duubatti deebiʼuun isaaniis baayʼateeraatii.
There-fore it will attack them a lion from a forest a wolf of desert plains it will devastate them a leopard [will be] watching over cities their every [one who] goes out from them he will be torn in pieces for they are many transgressions their they are numerous (apostasies their. *Q(k)*)
7 “Ani akkamiinan dhiifama isiniif gochuu dandaʼa? Ijoolleen kee na dhiisanii waaqota waaqota hin taʼiniin kakataniiru. Ani waan isaaniif barbaachisu hunda kenneefiin ture; isaan garuu ni ejjan; gara manneen sagaagaltuuwwaniitis gugatan.
Where? for this (will I forgive *Q(k)*) you children your they have forsaken me and they have sworn by not gods and I satisfied them and they committed adultery and [the] house of a prostitute they cut themselves.
8 Isaan korommii fardeenii kanneen akka gaariitti sooramanii dha; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii niitii namaatti himimsu.
Horses well fed lustful they are everyone to [the] wife of neighbor his they neigh.
9 Ani waan kanaaf isaan hin adabuu ree?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani mataan koo saba akka saba kanaa haaloo hin baʼuu?
¿ On these [things] not will I punish [the] utterance of Yahweh and or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
10 “Dallaa dhagaa isheetti ol baʼaatii balleessaa; garuu guutumaan guutuutti miti. Dameewwan ishee irraa ciraa; sabni kun saba Waaqayyoo miti.
Go up among vine rows its and destroy [them] and complete destruction may not you make remove vine tendrils its for not [belong] to Yahweh they.
11 Manni Israaʼelii fi manni Yihuudaa, guutumaan guutuutti anaaf hin amanamne” jedha Waaqayyo.
For certainly they have dealt treacherously with me [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh.
12 Isaan waaʼee Waaqayyoo soba dubbatan; akkanas jedhan; “Inni homaa hin godhu! Miidhaan tokko iyyuu nutti hin dhufu; goraadee yookaan beela hin arginu.
They have denied Yahweh and they have said not he and not it will come on us harm and sword and famine not we will see.
13 Raajonni bubbee malee homaa miti; dubbiin isaan keessa hin jiru; wanni isaan dubbatan isaanumatti haa deebiʼu.”
And the prophets they will become wind and the word not [is] in them thus let it be done to them.
14 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni kun waan dubbii kana dubbateef, ani dubbii koo afaan kee keessatti ibidda, saba kana immoo qoraan ibiddi gubu nan godha.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts because have spoken you the word this here I [am] about to make words my in mouth your into a fire and the people this wood and it will consume them.
15 Yaa mana Israaʼel,” jedha Waaqayyo; “Ani saba duriitii fi jabaa, saba ati afaan isaa hin beekne, kan ati dubbii isaa illee hin hubanne tokko biyya fagoodhaa sitti nan fida.
Here I [am] about to bring on you a nation from a distance O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh [is] a nation - enduring it [is] a nation from long ago it a nation [which] not you know language its and not you hear what? does it say.
16 Manʼeen xiyya isaanii akkuma awwaala banamaa ti; hundi isaaniis loltoota jajjaboo dha.
Quiver its [is] like a grave open all of them [are] warriors.
17 Isaan midhaan keetii fi buddeena kee ni nyaatu; ilmaan keetii fi intallan kee ni ajjeesu; bushaayee fi loon kee ni nyaatu; wayinii keetii fi mukkeen harbuu keetii ni nyaatu. Magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qaban kanneen ati amanatte sana goraadeedhaan barbadeessu.
And it will devour harvest your and food your they will devour sons your and daughters your it will devour flock[s] your and herd[s] your it will devour vine[s] your and fig tree[s] your it will shatter [the] cities of fortifications your which you [are] trusting in them with the sword.
18 “Taʼus ani bara sana keessa iyyuu guutumaan guutuutti isin hin balleessu” jedha Waaqayyo.
And also in the days those [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will make with you complete destruction.
19 “Yommuu namoonni, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya maaliif waan kana hunda nutti fide?’ jedhanii gaafatanitti, ati, ‘Isin akkuma na dhiiftanii biyya keessan keessatti waaqota ormaa tajaajiltan sana, ammas biyya kan mataa keessanii hin taʼin keessatti ormoota ni tajaajiltu’ jettee isaanitti himta.
And it will be that you will say for what? did he do Yahweh God our to us all these [things] and you will say to them just as you forsook me and you served gods of foreignness in own land your so you will serve strangers in a land [which] not [belongs] to you.
20 “Waan kana mana Yaaqoobitti himaa; Yihuudaa keessattis labsaa:
Declare this in [the] house of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah saying.
21 Isin uummanni gowwaan hubannaa hin qabne, warri utuu ija qabdanuu hin argine kanneen utuu gurra qabdanuu hin dhageenye waan kana dhagaʼa.
Hear please this O people fool and there not [is] a heart eyes [belong] to them and not they see ears [belong] to them and not they hear.
22 Isin na hin sodaattanii?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Fuula koo duratti hin hollattanii? Ani galaanaaf cirracha daarii dallaa bara baraa kan inni qaxxaamuruu hin dandeenye godhee tolcheera. Dhaʼaan galaanaa yoo itti buʼe iyyuu isa diiguu hin dandaʼu; galaanichi yoo huurse iyyuu, isa cabsee darbuu hin dandaʼu.
¿ Me not do you fear [the] utterance of Yahweh or? from before me not do you tremble who I appointed [the] sand a boundary for the sea a decree of perpetuity and not it will pass over it and they shook back and forth and not they will prevail and they roar waves its and not they will pass over it.
23 Sabni kun garuu mata jabeessaa fi fincilaa dha; innis karaa irraa jalʼatee badeera.
And to the people this it belongs a heart stubborn and rebellious they have turned aside and they have gone away.
24 Isaan garaa isaaniitti akkana hin jedhan; ‘Kottaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya isa bokkaa arfaasaatii fi bokkaa birraa waqtiidhaan kennu, isa torbanoota itti midhaan walitti qabannu yeroo isaaniitti nuu kennu sana haa sodaannu.’
And not they said in heart their let us fear please Yahweh God our who gives rain (autumn rain *Q(K)*) and spring rain at appropriate time its [the] weeks of [the] appointments of harvest he keeps for us.
25 Balleessaan keessan waan kana isin irraa deebiseera; cubbuun keessan waan gaarii isin dhabsiiseera.
Iniquities your they have turned aside these [things] and sins your they have withheld good from you.
26 “Saba koo gidduu namoota hamoo akka warra nama qabuuf kiyyoo kaaʼaniitti, akkuma nama kiyyoon simbirroo qabuutti riphanii eeggatantu jira.
For they are found among people my wicked [people] he watches as bend fowlers they set a destroyer people they catch.
27 Akkuma manʼeen simbiraan guutamu, manneen isaanii sobaan guutamu; isaanis sooreyyii fi jajjaboo taʼanii,
Like a cage full bird[s] so houses their [are] full deceit there-fore they have become great and they have gained riches.
28 gabbatanii bareedaniiru; hamminni isaanii dhuma hin qabu; isaan murtii qajeelaa hin barbaadan. Isaan dhimma ijoollee abbaa hin qabneetiif hin falman; mirga hiyyeeyyiitiifis hin dhaabatan.
They have become fat they have become smooth also they have transgressed matters of evil a cause not they have pleaded [the] cause of [the] fatherless so they may have success and [the] justice of needy [people] not they have judged.
29 Ani waan kanaaf isaan hin adabuu?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani saba akkasii haaloo hin baafadhuu?
¿ On these [things] not will I punish [the] utterance of Yahweh or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
30 “Wanni suukaneessaan nama rifachiisu tokko biyyattii keessatti taʼeera:
An atrocious event and a horrible [thing] it has occurred in the land.
31 Raajonni raajii sobaa dubbatu; luboonni humnuma isaaniitiin biyya bulchu; sabni koos waan akkasii jaallata; isin garuu dhuma irratti maal gochuuf jirtu?
The prophets they have prophesied with falsehood and the priests they are ruling on hands their and people my they have loved thus and what? will you do to end its.
