Ermiyaas 7
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha;
THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 “Balbala mana Waaqayyoo dura dhaabadhuutii akkana jedhii ergaa kana labsi: “‘Isin sabni Yihuudaa warri Waaqayyoon waaqeffachuuf balbalawwan kanneeniin ol seentan hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
3 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfadhaa; anis akka isin iddoo kana jiraattan nan godha.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Isin dubbii sobaa amanattanii, “Kun mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti!” hin jedhinaa.
Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
5 Isin utuu dhugumaan karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfattanii murtii qajeelaa waliif kennitanii,
For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 utuu isin alagaa, ijoollee abbaa hin qabne yookaan haadha hiyyeessaa cunqursuu baattanii iddoo kanatti dhiiga nama yakka hin qabnee dhangalaasuu baattanii, utuu waaqota isin balleessan duukaa buʼuu baattanii,
If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7 silaa ani akka isin iddoo kana, biyya ani bara baraan abbootii keessaniif kenne keessa jiraattan nan godha.
Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
8 Isin garuu dubbii sobaa kan faayidaa hin qabne amanachaa jirtu.
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 “‘Isin hattanii nama ajjeeftanii, sagaagaltanii, sobaan kakattanii, Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsitanii, waaqota hin beekin duukaa buutanii,
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10 ergasii dhuftanii mana maqaa kootiin waamamu kana keessatti fuula koo dhaabatanii, utuma amma iyyuu wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen hunda hojjechaa jirtanuu, “Nu keessaa hin qabnu” jettuu?
And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Manni maqaa kootiin waamame kun holqa saamtotaa isiniif taʼee? Ani garuu waan kana ergeera! jedha Waaqayyo.
Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.
12 “‘Mee gara Shiiloo iddoo ani jalqabatti iddoo jireenya Maqaa kootiif godhadhe sanaa dhaqaatii waan ani sababii hammina saba koo Israaʼeliif ishee godhe ilaalaa.
But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Yeroo isin waan kana hunda gootanitti, ani ammumaa amma isinitti dubbadheera; isin garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne. Ani isinan waame; isin garuu hin owwaanne.
And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 Kanaafuu ani waanan Shiilootti fide sana amma mana Maqaa kootiin waamamu, mana Qulqullummaa kan isin amanattan, iddoo ani isinii fi abbootii keessaniif kenne kanattis nan fida.
Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 Ani akkuman obboloota keessan jechuunis saba Efreem hunda fuula koo duraa ariʼe sana isiniinis nan ariʼa.’
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 “Kanaafuu ati saba kanaaf hin kadhatin; yookaan waaʼee isaaniitiif hin booʼin yookaan waammata hin dhiʼeessin; ani si hin dhagaʼuutii na hin kadhatin.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
17 Ati waan isaan magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessattii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti hojjetan hin argituu?
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Ijoolleen qoraan funaanu; abbootiin ibidda qabsiisu; dubartoonni immoo Mootittii Samiitiif keekii tolchuuf bukoo bukeessu. Isaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasuuf waaqota biraatiif dhibaayyuu dhibaafatu.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Garuu kan isaan dheekkamsaaf kakaasan anaa? jedha Waaqayyo. Isaan ofuma miidhanii qaanaʼan mitii?
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Aarii fi dheekkamsi koo iddoo kana irratti, namaa fi horii irratti, mukkeen diidaattii fi waan lafti baaftu irratti ni dhangalaʼa; inni inuma bobaʼa malee hin dhaamu.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21 “‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Aarsaa keessan kan gubamu qalma keessanitti dabalaatii foon nyaadhaa!
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
22 Ani yeroon biyya Gibxii abbootii keessan baasetti waaʼee aarsaa gubamuutii fi qalmaa isaanitti hin dubbanne yookaan isaan hin ajajne;
For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23 ani garuu ajaja kana isaaniif nan kenne: Anaaf ajajamaa; ani Waaqa keessan nan taʼa; isinis saba koo ni taatu. Akka isinii toluuf karaa ani isin ajaju hunda irra deemaa.
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
24 Isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne; qooda kanaa mata jabina fedhii garaa isaanii duukaa baʼan. Isaan dugda duubatti deebiʼan malee gara fuula duraatti hin deemne.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25 Gaafa abbootiin keessan biyya Gibxii baʼanii jalqabee hamma ammaatti ani guyyuma guyyaan, ammumaa amma tajaajiltoota koo raajota isiniif ergeera.
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
26 Isaan garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne. Isaan mataa jabaatanii abbootii isaanii caalaa waan hamaa hojjetan.’
Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
27 “Yeroo ati waan kana hunda isaanitti himtu isaan si hin dhagaʼan; yeroo ati isaan waamtus si jalaa hin owwaatan.
Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
28 Kanaafuu akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Sabni kun saba Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiif hin ajajamne, kan adabbii isaa illee hin fudhannee dha. Dhugaan badeera; afaan isaanii keessaas dhabameera.
But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29 “‘Rifeensa mataa keetii of irraa cirii gati; iddoo ol kaʼaa qullaatti ol baʼii booʼi; Waaqayyo dhaloota dheekkamsa isaa jala jiru kana tuffatee gateeraatii.
Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 “‘Sabni Yihuudaa fuula koo duratti waan hamaa hojjeteera; jedha Waaqayyo. Isaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoo jibbisiisoo mana maqaa kootiin waamamu keessa dhaabanii manicha xureessaniiru.
For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 Isaan ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii achitti ibiddaan gubuuf jedhanii Sulula Ben Hinoom keessatti iddoo sagadaa Toofet ijaaran; kun immoo waan ani isaan hin ajajin yookaan yaada kootti hin dhufinii dha.
And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32 Kanaafuu beekkadhaa! Barri itti namoonni iddoo sanaan, siʼachi Sulula qalmaa jedhanii waaman malee Toofet yookaan Sulula Ben Hinoom hin jenne ni dhufa; isaan hamma iddoon hanqatutti Toofetitti warra duʼan awwaaluutii, jedha Waaqayyo.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
33 Reeffi namoota kanaa simbirroota samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata taʼa; namni sodaachisee irraa isaan ariʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34 Ani magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irra sagalee kolfaatii fi gammachuu, sagalee misirrichaatii fi misirrittii nan balleessa; biyyattiin ni ontiitii.
Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
