< Ermiyaas 50 >
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyo karaa Ermiyaas raajichaatiin waaʼee Baabilonii fi waaʼee biyya Baabilonotaa dubbate kanaa dha:
Ilizwi iNkosi eyalikhuluma imelene leBhabhiloni, imelene lelizwe lamaKhaladiya, ngesandla sikaJeremiya umprofethi, lisithi:
2 “Saboota gidduutti lallabaatii labsaa; faajjii ol qabaatii labsaa; utuu homaa hin hambisin akkana jedhaa; ‘Baabilon ni qabamti; Beel ni salphifama; Meroodak gooliidhaan guutama. Fakkiiwwan Baabilon ni salphifamu; waaqonni ishee tolfamoonis sodaan guutamu.’
Memezani phakathi kwezizwe, lizwakalise; misani uphawu, lizwakalise, lingakufihli, lithi: IBhabhiloni ithunjiwe, uBheli uyangekile, uMerodaki ubhidliziwe; izithombe zayo ziyangisiwe, imifanekiso yayo ibhidliziwe.
3 Sabni Kaabaa dhufu tokko ishee lolee lafa ishee duwwaa hambisa. Namni tokko iyyuu ishee keessa hin jiraatu; namaa fi horiin baqatee keessaa baʼa.
Ngoba isizwe senyuka simelene layo esivela enyakatho, esizakwenza ilizwe layo libe lunxiwa, ukuze kungabi lomhlali kulo; kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni kuyabaleka kuhambile.
4 “Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, sabni Israaʼelii fi sabni Yihuudaa imimmaaniin Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii barbaacha tokkummaadhaan ni dhufu” jedha Waaqayyo;
Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi, itsho iNkosi, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazakuza, bona labantwana bakoJuda kanyekanye; behamba bekhala inyembezi, bazahamba, bedinga iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo.
5 “Isaan karaa gara Xiyoon geessu ni gaafatu; fuula isaaniis garasitti garagalfatu. Isaan dhufanii kakuu bara baraa kan gonkumaa hin irraanfatamneen Waaqayyotti of maxxansu.
Bazabuza indlela eZiyoni, ubuso babo bukhangele ngakuyo; wozani, lizihlanganise leNkosi ngesivumelwano esiphakade esingayikukhohlakala.
6 “Sabni koo hoolota badan taʼaniiru; tikseen isaanii isaan dogoggorsee akka isaan tulluuwwan irra jooran godhe. Isaan tulluu fi gaara irra jooranii lafa boqonnaa isaanii illee wallaalan.
Abantu bami bebeyizimvu ezilahlekileyo; abelusi babo babaduhisile, bebaphendulela ezintabeni; bahamba besuka entabeni besiya eqaqeni, bakhohlwa indawo yabo yokulala.
7 Kan isaan argu hundi isaan liqimse; diinonni isaaniis, ‘Nu balleessaa hin qabnu; isaan Waaqayyo iddoo jireenya isaanii kan dhugaa taʼe, Waaqayyo abdii abbootii isaaniitti cubbuu hojjetaniiruutii’ jedhan.
Bonke ababatholayo babadla, lezitha zabo zathi: Kasiyikuba lacala, ngenxa yokuthi bonile eNkosini, ikhaya lokulunga, ngitsho iNkosi, ithemba laboyise.
8 “Baabilonii baqadhaa baʼaa; biyya Baabilonotaa keessaa baʼaa; akkuma korbeessa reʼee kan bushaayee qajeelchuu taʼaa.
Balekani liphume phakathi kweBhabhiloni, liphume elizweni lamaKhaladiya, libe njengezimpongo phambi komhlambi.
9 Ani biyya kaabaatii garee saboota gurguddaa kaasee Baabilonitti nan ergaatii. Isaanis hiriiranii isheetti dhufu; isheenis karaa kaabaatiin ni qabamti. Xiyyi isaanii akkuma loltoota ogeeyyii harka duwwaa hin deebinee ti.
Ngoba khangela, ngizavusa ngenze ukuthi kwenyukele eBhabhiloni ixuku lezizwe ezinkulu zivela elizweni lenyakatho, zizihlele zimelene layo; kusukela lapho zithunjwe; imitshoko yakhe njengeqhawe elilamandla kayiyikubuyela ize.
10 Baabilonis ni saamamti; warri ishee saaman hundis ni quufu” jedha Waaqayyo.
Njalo iKhaladiya izakuba yimpango; bonke abayiphangayo bazasutha, itsho iNkosi.
11 “Isin warri handhuuraa koo saamtan waan gammaddanii fi ililchitaniif, akkuma raadaa marga keessaa burraaqxanii akka korma fardaa imimsitan illee,
Ngoba lalijabula, ngoba lathokoza, lina bachithi belifa lami, ngoba liqolotsha njengethokazi etshanini, likhonye njengamabhiza amaduna;
12 haati keessan akka malee qaanofti; kan isin deesses ni salphatti. Isheen saboota hunda keessaa gad aantuu, lafa onaa, lafa gogaa fi gammoojjii taati.
unyoko ulenhloni kakhulu, owalizalayo uyangekile. Khangela, ingemuva yezizwe iyinkangala eyomileyo lelugwadule.
13 Isheen sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiif guutumaan guutuutti ni onti malee namni ishee keessa hin jiraatu. Sababii madaa ishee hundaatiif namni Baabilon keessa darbu hundi ni dinqisiifata; itti qoosas.
Ngenxa yolaka lweNkosi kayiyikuhlalwa, kodwa izakuba yincithakalo yonke; wonke owedlula eBhabhiloni uzamangala kakhulu, ancife ngenxa yazo zonke inhlupheko zayo.
14 “Isin warri iddaa luqqifattan hundinuu, naannoo Baabilonitti hiriiraa. Sababii isheen Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjetteef, xiyyawwan itti darbadhaa! Homaa hin hambisinaa.
Zihleleleni ukumelana leBhabhiloni inhlangothi zonke, lina lonke eligobisa idandili, litshoke kuyo, lingagodli mtshoko, ngoba yonile eNkosini.
15 Karaa hundaan isheetti iyyaa! Isheen harka kennatti; gamoon ishee ni jiga; dallaan ishee diigameera. Kun haaloo Waaqayyoo waan taʼeef isheetti haaloo baʼaa; waanuma isheen warra kaanitti hojjette isheetti hojjedhaa.
Memezani limelene layo inhlangothi zonke; isinike isandla sayo, izisekelo zayo ziwile, imiduli yayo idiliziwe; ngoba lokho kuyimpindiselo yeNkosi; phindiselani kuyo, lenze kuyo njengokwenza kwayo.
16 Nama sanyii facaasuu fi kan yeroo midhaan haamamutti haamtuu qabatus Baabilon keessaa balleessaa. Sababii goraadee cunqursaatiin tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara saba ofii isaatti haa deebiʼu; tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara biyya ofii isaattis haa baqatu.
Qumani umhlanyeli asuke eBhabhiloni, laye ophatha isikela ngesikhathi sokuvuna; ngenxa yenkemba ecindezelayo bazaphenduka, ngulowo lalowo kwabakibo, babaleke, ngulowo lalowo elizweni lakibo.
17 “Israaʼel hoolaa bittinnaaʼee dha; leenconni isa ariʼan. Kan jalqabatti isa nyaate mootii Asoor; kan dhuma irratti lafee isaa caccabse immoo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon ture.”
UIsrayeli uyimvu ehlakazekileyo; izilwane zimxotshile; kuqala inkosi yeAsiriya yamudla, emva kwalokho lo uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni wephule amathambo akhe.
18 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani akkuma mootii Asoor adabe sana mootii Baabilonii fi biyya isaa nan adaba.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangela, ngizayijezisa inkosi yeBhabhiloni lelizwe layo, njengalokho ngayijezisa inkosi yeAsiriya.
19 Israaʼelin garuu lafa tika isaatti nan deebisa; innis Qarmeloosii fi Baashaan irra ni dheeda; tulluu Efreemii fi Giliʼaad irra dheedee ni quufa.
Njalo ngizabuyisela uIsrayeli endaweni yakhe yokuhlala, njalo uzadlisa eKharmeli leBashani, lomphefumulo wakhe usuthe entabeni yakoEfrayimi leGileyadi.
20 Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, yakki Israaʼel ni barbaadama” jedha Waaqayyo; “garuu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; cubbuun Yihuudaas ni barbaadama; garuu tokko iyyuu hin argamu; ani hambaan baraare sanaaf dhiifama nan godhaatii.
Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi, itsho iNkosi, kuzadingwa ububi koIsrayeli, kodwa bungabi khona, lezono zikaJuda, kodwa zingatholwa; ngoba ngizabathethelela labo engibenza babe yinsali.
21 “Biyya Meraataayimii fi jiraattota Pheqood lolaa. Ariʼaa, ajjeesaa, guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessaa,” jedha Waaqayyo. “Waan ani isin ajaje hunda godhaa.
Umelene lelizwe leMerathayimi, yenyuka umelene layo, njalo umelene labahlali bePhekhodi; uchithe, utshabalalise emva kwabo, itsho iNkosi, wenze njengakho konke engikulaye khona.
22 Sagaleen waraanaa, sagaleen badiisa guddaas biyya sana keessa jira!
Umsindo wempi uselizweni, lokuchitheka okukhulu.
23 Burruusni guutummaa lafaa akkamitti cabe! Akkamittis bullaaʼe! Baabilon saboota gidduutti, akkam onte!
Yeka ukuganyulwa lokwephuka kwesando somhlaba wonke! Yeka ukwenziwa kweBhabhiloni unxiwa phakathi kwezizwe!
24 Yaa Baabilon, ani kiyyoo siif diriirseera; atis utuu hin beekin qabamte; ati sababii Waaqayyoon mormiteef, argamtee qabamte.
Ngakuthiya ngomjibila, futhi lawe wathunjwa, Bhabhiloni, lawe wawungazi; watholwa, futhi wabanjwa, ngoba waphikisana leNkosi.
25 Waaqayyo mankuusaa miʼa lolaa isaa banee miʼa lola dheekkamsa isaa gad baafateera; Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waan biyya Baabilonotaatti hojjetu qabaatii.
INkosi ivulile isiphala sayo, yakhupha izikhali zolaka lwayo, ngoba lokhu kungumsebenzi weNkosi uJehova wamabandla elizweni lamaKhaladiya.
26 Biyya fagootii isheetti kottaa. Gombisaawwan ishee diigaa; akkuma tuullaa midhaaniitti ishee tuulaa. Guutumaan guutuutti ishee balleessaa; waan tokko illee isheef hin hambisinaa.
Wozani limelane layo livela ephethelweni, livule izibuya zayo, liyibuthelele njengezinqumbi, liyitshabalalise, ingabi lansali.
27 Korommii ishee hunda qalaa; isaan gara qalmaatti haa geeffaman! Isaaniif wayyoo! Yeroon isaan itti adabaman, guyyaan isaanii dhufeeraatii.
Bulalani amajongosi ayo wonke, kawehlele ekuhlatshweni. Maye kuwo! Ngoba usuku lwawo lufikile, isikhathi sempindiselo yawo.
28 Akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya haaloo baʼe, akka inni mana qulqullummaa isaatiif haaloo baʼe, kooluu galtootaa fi baqattoota Baabilonii dhufanii Xiyoon keessatti lallaban irraa dhagaʼaa.
Ilizwi lababalekayo labaphunyukayo bevela elizweni leBhabhiloni, ukuze bamemeze eZiyoni impindiselo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, impindiselo yethempeli layo.
29 “Namoota Xiyyaan lolan kanneen iddaa luqqifatan hunda Baabilonitti waamaa. Naannoo ishee hunda marsaa; namni tokko iyyuu hin miliqin. Gatii hojii ishee kennaafii; waanuma isheen warra kaanitti hojjette isheettis hojjedhaa. Isheen Qulqullicha Israaʼel, Waaqayyotti koorteertii.
Bizani abatshoki bamelane leBhabhiloni, bonke abagobisa idandili, limise inkamba limelane layo inhlangothi zonke; kayingabi lokuphunyuka; liyiphindisele njengomsebenzi wayo, lenze kuyo njengakho konke ekwenzileyo; ngoba yenze ngokuziqhenya imelene leNkosi, imelene loNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
30 Kanaafuu dargaggoonni ishee karaa irratti dhumu; gaafas loltoonni ishee hundi ni barbadaaʼu” jedha Waaqayyo.
Ngakho amajaha ayo azakuwa ezitaladeni zayo, lawo wonke amadoda ayo empi azabhujiswa ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi.
31 “Yaa koortuu nana, kunoo ani sitti kaʼeera” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda dandaʼu; “yeroon ati itti adabamtu, guyyaan kee dhufeeraatii.
Khangela, ngimelana lawe, wena oziqhenyayo, itsho iNkosi uJehova wamabandla; ngoba usuku lwakho selufikile, isikhathi engizakuhambela ngaso.
32 Koortuun sun gufattee lafa dhoofti; namni gargaaree ol ishee qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ani magaalaawwan ishee keessatti ibidda warra naannoo ishee jiru hunda gubee fixu nan qabsiisa.”
Khona oziqhenyayo ezakhubeka awe, njalo kungekho ozamvusa; njalo ngizaphemba umlilo emizini yakhe ozakudla konke okumhanqileyo.
33 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni Israaʼel cunqurfameera; sabni Yihuudaas akkasuma cunqurfameera. Warri isaan boojiʼan hundi jabeessanii isaan qabataniiru; isaan gad dhiisuus didaniiru.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Babecindezelwe abantwana bakoIsrayeli labantwana bakoJuda ndawonye; njalo bonke ababathumbileyo babagagadlele; bala ukubayekela bahambe.
34 Taʼu illee Furaan isaanii jabaa dha; maqaan isaas Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha. Inni biyya isaaniitiif boqonnaa kenne; warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan garuu boqonnaa dhowwuuf dhimma isaaniitiif jabeessee ni falma.
Umhlengi wabo ulamandla, iNkosi yamabandla libizo layo; isibili izamela udaba lwabo, ukuze inike umhlaba ukuphumula, kodwa inyakazise abahlali beBhabhiloni.
35 “Goraadeen tokko Baabilonotatti dhufe!” jedha Waaqayyo; “warra Baabilon keessa jiraatanitti, qondaaltotaa fi namoota ishee ogeeyyiitti dhufeera!
Inkemba iphezu kwamaKhaladiya, itsho iNkosi, laphezu kwabahlali beBhabhiloni, laphezu kweziphathamandla zayo, laphezu kwabahlakaniphileyo bayo.
36 Goraadeen raajota ishee sobdootatti, dhufeera! Isaan gowwoota taʼu. Goraadeen gootota isheetti dhufeera! Isaanis sodaadhaan guutamu.
Inkemba iphezu kwabaqambimanga ukuze benze ngobuthutha; inkemba iphezu kwamaqhawe ayo ukuze adilizwe.
37 Goraadeen fardeenii fi gaariiwwan isheetti, Namoota Ormaa kanneen gidduu ishee jiraatan hundatti dhufe! Isaan dadhaboo taʼu. Goraadeen qabeenya isheetti dhufe! Isaan ni saamamu.
Inkemba iphezu kwamabhiza ayo, laphezu kwenqola zayo, laphezu kwayo yonke ingxube yexuku ephakathi kwayo, ukuze babe ngabesifazana; inkemba iphezu kokuligugu kwayo, ukuze kuphangwe.
38 Caamsaan bishaan isheetti ni dhufa! Isaanis ni gogu. Isheen biyya waaqota tolfamoo, kan waaqota tolfamoo sodaadhaan maraataniitii.
Imbalela iphezu kwamanzi ayo, ukuze ome, ngoba iyilizwe lezithombe ezibaziweyo; bayahlanya ngenxa yezithombe ezesabekayo.
39 “Kanaafuu uumamawwan gammoojjiitii fi waraabeyyiin achi jiraatu; urunguunis achi jiraatti. Lammata namni ishee keessa hin jiraatu; yookaan dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti namni keessa jiraatu hin jiru.
Ngakho izilo zenkangala lamakhanka kuzahlala khona, lamadodakazi ezintshe azahlala kuyo, kakusayikuhlala muntu kuyo kuze kube nininini, kakuyikwakhelwa kuyo esizukulwaneni kusiya esizukulwaneni.
40 Akkuma Waaqni Sodoomii fi Gomoraa, magaalaawwan naannoo isaanii jiran wajjin balleesse sana” jedha Waaqayyo; “namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu; sanyiin namaa tokkos ishee keessa hin qubatu.
Njengoba uNkulunkulu wagenqula iSodoma leGomora labomakhelwane bayo, itsho iNkosi, ngokunjalo kakuyikuhlala muntu khona, njalo kakulandodana yomuntu ezahlala njengowezizwe kuyo.
41 “Kunoo! Gareen loltootaa tokko kaaba irraa dhufaa jira; sabni guddaan tokkoo fi mootonni baayʼeen moggaa lafaatii sosochoʼaa jiru.
Khangela, abantu bazavela enyakatho, lesizwe esikhulu, lamakhosi amanengi azavuswa evela emikhawulweni yomhlaba.
42 Isaan xiyyaa fi eeboo qabataniiru; isaan gara jabeeyyii namaafis naasuu hin qabnee dha. Yommuu isaan fardeen isaanii gulufanitti gigigsuun isaanii akkuma huursaa galaanaa ti; yaa intala Baabilon, isaan akkuma namoota duulaaf hiriiraniitti si loluuf dhufu.
Bazabamba idandili lomkhonto; balesihluku, kabayikuba lomusa; ilizwi labo lizahlokoma njengolwandle, bagade amabhiza, ngulowo lalowo ehleliwe njengomuntu wempi emelene lawe, ndodakazi yeBhabhiloni.
43 Mootiin Baabilon oduu waaʼee isaanii dhagaʼe; harki isaas irratti duʼe. Dhiphinni isa qabateera; miixuunis akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu isa qabeera.
Inkosi yeBhabhiloni izwile umbiko wabo, lezandla zayo zaba buthakathaka; ucindezelo lwayibamba, umhelo njengowobelethayo.
44 Ani akkuma leenca bosona Yordaanosii baʼee gara lafa dheedaa gabbataa dhufu tokkoo dafee Baabilonin biyya isheetii nan ariʼa. Filatamaan ani waan kanaaf muudu eenyu? Kan akka koo eenyu? Eenyutus naan morkuu dandaʼa? Tiksee akkamiitu fuula koo dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa?”
Khangela, njengesilwane esivela ekukhukhumaleni kweJordani uzakwenyuka emelene lendawo yokuhlala okungapheliyo, kodwa ngizahle ngimgijimise asuke kuyo; njalo ngubani okhethiweyo engingammisa phezu kwayo? Ngoba ngubani onjengami? Ngubani-ke ozangibizela ukulandisa? Njalo nguwuphi lowomelusi ongema phambi kwami?
45 Kanaafuu waan Waaqayyo Baabilonitti karoorfate, waan inni biyya Baabilonotaatti yaades dhagaʼaa; Ilmaan bushaayee harkifamanii ni fudhatamu; innis sababii isaaniitiif lafa dheeda isaanii guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeessa.
Ngakho, zwanini icebo leNKOSI elicebe imelene leBhabhiloni, lemicabango yayo eyicabange imelene lelizwe lamaKhaladiya: Isibili abancinyane bomhlambi bazabadonsa; isibili izachitha indawo yokuhlala phezu kwabo.
46 Waca qabamuu Baabiloniitiin lafti ni raafamti; iyyi ishees saboota gidduutti ni dhagaʼama.
Ngomsindo wokuthunjwa kweBhabhiloni umhlaba uyazamazama, lokukhala kuzwakala phakathi kwezizwe.
