< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe isa kanaa dha;
2 Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.
“Balbala mana Waaqayyoo dura dhaabadhuutii akkana jedhii ergaa kana labsi: “‘Isin sabni Yihuudaa warri Waaqayyoon waaqeffachuuf balbalawwan kanneeniin ol seentan hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
3 Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfadhaa; anis akka isin iddoo kana jiraattan nan godha.
4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, are these.
Isin dubbii sobaa amanattanii, “Kun mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti; mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ti!” hin jedhinaa.
5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor,
Isin utuu dhugumaan karaa keessanii fi hojii keessan qajeelfattanii murtii qajeelaa waliif kennitanii,
6 if ye do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own hurt,
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,
7 then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from of old even for evermore.
silaa ani akka isin iddoo kana, biyya ani bara baraan abbootii keessaniif kenne keessa jiraattan nan godha.
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Isin garuu dubbii sobaa kan faayidaa hin qabne amanachaa jirtu.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known,
“‘Isin hattanii nama ajjeeftanii, sagaagaltanii, sobaan kakattanii, Baʼaaliif ixaana aarsitanii, waaqota hin beekin duukaa buutanii,
10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered, that ye may do all these abominations?
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?
11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says Jehovah.
Manni maqaa kootiin waamame kun holqa saamtotaa isiniif taʼee? Ani garuu waan kana ergeera! jedha Waaqayyo.
12 But go ye now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
“‘Mee gara Shiiloo iddoo ani jalqabatti iddoo jireenya Maqaa kootiif godhadhe sanaa dhaqaatii waan ani sababii hammina saba koo Israaʼeliif ishee godhe ilaalaa.
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, says Jehovah. And I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not,
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.
14 therefore I will do to the house, which is called by my name, in which ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
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.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
Ani akkuman obboloota keessan jechuunis saba Efreem hunda fuula koo duraa ariʼe sana isiniinis nan ariʼa.’
16 Therefore pray thou not for this people, nor lift up cry nor prayer for them. Neither make intercession to me, for I will not hear thee.
“Kanaafuu ati saba kanaaf hin kadhatin; yookaan waaʼee isaaniitiif hin booʼin yookaan waammata hin dhiʼeessin; ani si hin dhagaʼuutii na hin kadhatin.
17 Do thou not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Ati waan isaan magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessattii fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irratti hojjetan hin argituu?
18 The sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Ijoolleen qoraan funaanu; abbootiin ibidda qabsiisu; dubartoonni immoo Mootittii Samiitiif keekii tolchuuf bukoo bukeessu. Isaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasuuf waaqota biraatiif dhibaayyuu dhibaafatu.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? says Jehovah, and not themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
Garuu kan isaan dheekkamsaaf kakaasan anaa? jedha Waaqayyo. Isaan ofuma miidhanii qaanaʼan mitii?
20 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, my anger and my wrath 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.
“‘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.
21 Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.
“‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Aarsaa keessan kan gubamu qalma keessanitti dabalaatii foon nyaadhaa!
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.
Ani yeroon biyya Gibxii abbootii keessan baasetti waaʼee aarsaa gubamuutii fi qalmaa isaanitti hin dubbanne yookaan isaan hin ajajne;
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people. And walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
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.
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
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.
25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
Gaafa abbootiin keessan biyya Gibxii baʼanii jalqabee hamma ammaatti ani guyyuma guyyaan, ammumaa amma tajaajiltoota koo raajota isiniif ergeera.
26 Yet they hearkened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.
Isaan garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hin qalbeeffanne. Isaan mataa jabaatanii abbootii isaanii caalaa waan hamaa hojjetan.’
27 And thou shall speak all these words to them, but they will not hearken to thee. Thou shall also call to them, but they will not answer thee.
“Yeroo ati waan kana hunda isaanitti himtu isaan si hin dhagaʼan; yeroo ati isaan waamtus si jalaa hin owwaatan.
28 And thou shall say to them, This is the nation that has not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
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.
29 Cut off thy hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights. For Jehovah has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
“‘Rifeensa mataa keetii of irraa cirii gati; iddoo ol kaʼaa qullaatti ol baʼii booʼi; Waaqayyo dhaloota dheekkamsa isaa jala jiru kana tuffatee gateeraatii.
30 For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, says Jehovah. They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
“‘Sabni Yihuudaa fuula koo duratti waan hamaa hojjeteera; jedha Waaqayyo. Isaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoo jibbisiisoo mana maqaa kootiin waamamu keessa dhaabanii manicha xureessaniiru.
31 And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
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.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.
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.
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth, and none shall frighten them away.
Reeffi namoota kanaa simbirroota samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata taʼa; namni sodaachisee irraa isaan ariʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
34 Then I will 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 become a waste.
Ani magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa fi daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irra sagalee kolfaatii fi gammachuu, sagalee misirrichaatii fi misirrittii nan balleessa; biyyattiin ni ontiitii.
