Ermiyaas 1
1 Kun dubbii Ermiyaas ilma Hilqiyaa kan luboota biyya Beniyaam keessa magaalaa Anaatoot jiraatan keessaa tokko taʼe sanaa ti.
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that [were] in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo bara Yosiyaas ilma Aamoon mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha sadaffaatti gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 akkasumas bara Yehooyaaqiim ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatii jalqabee hamma dhuma bara Zedeqiyaa ilma Yosiyaas mooticha Yihuudaa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti waggaa sana keessaas hamma jiʼa shanaffaatti, yeroo sabni Yerusaalem boojiʼametti dubbiin kun gara isaa dhufaa ture.
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 “Ani utuu gadameessa keessatti si hin uumin dura si beeke; utuu ati hin dhalatin dura addaan si baafadhe; akka ati sabootaaf raajii taatuufis si muude.”
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6 Anis, “Wayyoo, yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ani akkamitti akkan dubbadhu hin beeku; ani mucaa xinnoo dha” nan jedhe.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
7 Waaqayyo garuu akkana naan jedhe; “Ati, ‘Ani mucaa xinnoo dha’ hin jedhin. Ati gara nama ani itti si ergu hundaa dhaqxee waan ani si ajaju hunda dubbachuu qabda.
But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Ati jara hin sodaatin; ani si baasuuf si wajjinan jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 Ergasiis Waaqayyo harka isaa hiixatee afaan koo tuqee akkana naan jedhe; “Kunoo, ani dubbii koo afaan kee keessa kaaʼeera.
Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 Ilaa, ani akka ati buqqiftuu fi diigduuf, akka barbadeessituu fi garagalchituuf, akka ijaartuu fi dhaabduuf harʼa sabootaa fi mootummoota irratti si muudeera.”
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara koo dhufee, “Ermiyaas, ati maal argaa jirta?” naan jedhe. Anis deebisee, “Damee muka lawuzii arguuttin jira” jedhe.
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Waaqayyo immoo, “Ati sirriitti argite; ani akka dubbiin koo fiixaan baʼuuf kutadhee kaʼeeraatii” naan jedhe.
Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
13 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo amma illee gara koo dhufee, “Ati maal argaa jirta?” naan jedhe. Anis deebisee, “Xuwwee danfaa jiru kan kaaba irraa as garagalee jiru tokko nan arga” jedhe.
And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof [is] toward the north.
14 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Gara kaabaatii balaan warra biyyattii keessa jiraatan hundatti ni buʼa.
Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 Kunoo saboota mootummoota kaabaa hunda walitti nan waama” jedha Waaqayyo. “Mootonni isaanii dhufanii karrawwan Yerusaalem dura teessoowwan isaanii ni dhaabbatu; isaan dallaawwan naannoo ishee hundaa fi magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda marsu.
For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraaf ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii hojjete waaqeffachuudhaan hammina hojjetaniif ani saba kootti murtii nan labsa.
And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 “Ati garuu mudhii kee hidhadhuu kaʼiitii waan ani si ajaju hunda isaanitti himi. Ati jara hin sodaatin; ati isaan sodaannaan ani fuula isaanii duratti sodaa sittin buusaa.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
18 Akka ati guutuu biyyattiitiin jechuunis mootota Yihuudaatiin, qondaaltota isheetiin, lubootaa fi uummata biyyattiitiin mormituuf ani harʼa magaalaa dallaa jabaan marfamte, utubaa sibiilaatii fi dallaa naasii si taasiseera.
For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
19 Isaan si lolu; garuu si hin moʼatan; ani si baasuuf si wajjin jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
