Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani Baabilonii fi saba ishee keessa jiraatutti bubbee waa balleessu nan kaasa.
2 and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
Ani akka isaan gingilchanii ishee balleessaniif ormoota Baabilonitti nan erga; isaan gaafa badiisa ishee, karaa hundaanuu isheen mormu.
3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail; and spare not her young men: destroy utterly all her host.
Abbaan xiyyaa iddaa isaa hin aggaamin, yookaan miʼa lolaa hin hidhatin. Dargaggoota ishee hin baasinaa; loltoota ishee illee guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessaa.
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
Isaan qalamanii Baabilon keessa ni harcaafamu; daandiiwwan ishee irrattis ni madaaʼu.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
Yoo biyyi isaanii fuula Qulqullicha Israaʼel duratti yakkaan guutamtee jiraatte iyyuu Waaqni isaanii, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa hin ganne.
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence.
“Baabilon keessaa baqadhaa! Lubbuu keessan oolfadhaa! Isin sababii cubbuu isheetiif hin dhuminaa. Yeroon kun yeroo haaloo baʼuu Waaqayyoo ti; innis gatii isheef malu ni kennaaf.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.
Baabilon harka Waaqayyoo keessatti xoofoo warqee turte; isheen guutummaa lafaa ni macheessite. Saboonni daadhii wayinii ishee dhugan; kanaafuu amma maraataniiru.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
Baabilon akkuma tasaa kuftee caccabdi; isheef booʼaa! Qoricha isheen madaa dibattu fidaafii; tarii isheen ni fayyiti taʼaatii.
9 We have treated Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.
“‘Nu Baabilonin fayyisu yaalleerra; isheen garuu fayyuu hin dandeessu; kottaa tokkoon tokkoon keenya ishee dhiifnee gara biyya ofii keenyaatti haa qajeellu; murtiin ishee hamma samiitti ol baʼee, hamma duumessaatti ol fagaateeraatii.’
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
“‘Waaqayyo qajeelummaa keenya dhugaa nuu baʼeera; kottaa, waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya hojjete Xiyoon keessatti haa odeessinu.’
11 Sharpen the arrows; take the shields. Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for this is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
“Xiyya qaradhaa; gaachana illee fudhadhaa! Sababii kaayyoon isaa Baabilonin balleessuu taʼeef Waaqayyo mootota Meedee kakaaseera. Waaqayyo haaloo ni baʼa; mana qulqullummaa isaatii haaloo ni baʼa.
12 Lift up a banner towards the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Dallaa Baabilonitti faajjii kaasaa! Eegumsa jajjabeessaa; eegduu dhaabaa; warra riphee eeggatu qopheessaa! Waaqayyo kaayyoo isaa waan saba Baabilonitti mure sana fiixaan baafata.
13 Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
Ati kan bishaan baayʼee qabdu, kan qabeenyaanis badhaate, dhumni kee dhufeera; yeroon ati itti baddu gaʼeera.
14 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, I will assuredly fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu ofiin kakateera: Ani dhugumaan namoota akkuma hoomaa hawwaannisaa sitti gad dhiisa; isaanis moʼannaadhaan sitti dhaadatu.
15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
“Inni humna isaatiin lafa uume; ogummaa isaatiin addunyaa hundeesse; hubannaa isaatiinis samiiwwan diriirse.
16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Yommuu inni qaqawweessaʼutti bishaanonni samii ni huursu; inni akka duumessoonni daarii lafaatii ol kaʼan ni godha. Bokkaa wajjin balaqqee ni erga; mankuusaalee isaa keessaa immoo bubbee ni fida.
17 Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
“Tokkoon tokkoon namaa gowwaa fi kan beekumsa hin qabnee dha; tokkoon tokkoon tumtuu warqee waaqota tolfamoo isaatiin qaaneffama. Fakkiiwwan inni tolchu kan sobaa ti; isaan hafuura baafatan of keessaa hin qaban.
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Isaan faayidaa hin qaban; meeshaa qoosaa ti; yeroo adabbiin isaanii gaʼutti ni badu.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and [Israel] is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Inni qooda Yaaqoob taʼe sun garuu akka warra kanaa miti; inni uumaa waan hundumaa ti; Israaʼel immoo gosa dhaala isaa ti; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
20 Thou art my maul, [my] weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;
“Ati bokkuu koo kan duulaa miʼa lolaa kootii ti; ani siin saboota nan caccabsa; siin mootummoota nan barbadeessa;
21 and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and its driver;
Ani siin fardaa fi yaabbataa fardaa nan caccabsa; siin gaarii fi ooftuu isaa nan caccabsa;
22 and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
ani siin dhiiraa dubartoota nan caccabsa; siin jaarsaa dargaggeessa nan caccabsa; siin gaʼeessaa fi shamarree nan caccabsa;
23 and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and rulers.
ani siin tiksee fi bushaayee nan caccabsa; siin qottuu fi qotiyyoo nan caccabsa; siin bulchitootaa fi qondaaltota nan caccabsa.
24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, in your sight, all their evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
“Ani utuma iji keessan arguu waan isaan Xiyoon godhan hundaaf Baabilonii fi warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan hundaaf gatii isaanii nan kenna” jedha Waaqayyo.
25 Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burning mountain.
“Yaa tulluu barbadeessaa, ati kan lafa hunda balleessitu ani sitti kaʼeera; ani harka koo sitti nan kaafadha; ededa irraa gad gangalchee tulluu gubamaa sin godha” jedha Waaqayyo.
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
“Waan ati bara baraan ontuuf, kattaan dhagaa golee taʼu, yookaan dhagaan hundeef taʼu tokko iyyuu si keessaa hin fudhatamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
27 Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
“Biyyattii keessatti faajjii ol qabaa! Saboota gidduuttis malakata afuufaa! Saboota waraanaaf isheetti qopheessaa; mootummoota Araaraat, kan Miiniitii fi Ashkenas isheetti waamaa. Ajajaa waraanaa isheetti shuumaa; fardeen akka hoomaa hawwaannisaa itti ergaa.
28 Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
Ishee waraanuudhaaf saboota jechuunis, mootota Meedee bulchitoota isaaniitii fi qondaaltota isaanii hunda, biyyoota isaan bulchan hundas qopheessaa.
29 And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Sababii wanni Waaqayyo akka namni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraanneef biyya Baabilon onsuuf Baabilonitti karoorfate sun jabaatee dhaabatuuf biyyattiin ni raafamti; ni dhidhiitattis.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they are sitting in the fortresses; their might hath failed, they are become as women: they have set her dwelling places on fire; her bars are broken.
Gootonni Baabilon lola dhiisaniiru; isaan daʼannoo isaanii keessatti hafaniiru. Jabinni isaanii dhumeera; isaan akkuma dubartootaa taʼaniiru. Iddoo jireenya isheetti ibiddi qabsiifameera; danqaraawwan balbala ishees caccabaniiru.
31 Courier runneth to meet courier, and messenger to meet messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city is taken from end to end;
Akka magaalaan isaa moggaa hamma moggaatti qabamte mootii Baabilonitti himuuf, fiigduun tokko isa kaan qaqqabuuf, ergamaan tokkos ergamaa kaan qaqqabuuf fiiga;
32 and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
kunis akka malkaan qabame, akka daʼannoowwan ishee gubamanii fi akka loltoonni ishee naʼan himuudhaaf.”
33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time of its being trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Intalli Baabilon akkuma oobdii ti; yeroo sanatti isheen ni dhidhiitamti; yeroon isheen itti haamamtus dafee ni dhufa.”
34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel; he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
“Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon na nyaateera; inni barbadeesseera; akkuma okkotee duwwaa na godhe. Inni akkuma jawwee na liqimse; qabeenya koo filatamaadhaanis garaa guuttate; ergasii immoo na tufe.”
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
Jiraattonni Xiyoon, “Dabni foon keenyatti hojjetame Baabilonitti illee haa dhufu” jedhan. Yerusaalemis, “Dhiigni keenya warra Baabilon keessa jiraatan haaloo haa baʼu” jetti.
36 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Kunoo, ani dubbii kee siif falmee haaloo siifin baʼa; ani galaana ishee nan gogsa; burqaa ishee illee nan kuta.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Baabilon tuullaa diigame, iddoo waangoonni keessa burraaqan, waan naasuutii fi qoosaa, lafa namni tokko iyyuu irra hin jiraanne ni taati.
38 They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
Sabni ishee hundi akka saafela leencaa ni aada; isaanis akka ilmaan leencaa gururiʼu.
39 When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
Yommuu dhagni isaanii hoʼutti, ani akka isaan kolfaa gammadanii bara baraan rafanii hin dammaqneef cidha isaaniif qopheessee akka isaan machaaʼan nan godha” jedha Waaqayyo.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
“Ani akka ilmoolee hoolaa, akkuma korbeeyyii hoolaatii fi reʼee gara qalmaatti gad isaan buusa.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
“Sheeshaak akkamitti boojiʼamti! Boonuun lafa hundaas akkamitti qabame! Baabilon saba gidduutti akkam waan sodaa taati!
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
Baabilon irra galaanni garagala; dambaliin galaanaas ishee haguuga.
43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.
Magaalaawwan ishee onanii biyya gogaa fi gammoojjii, biyya namni tokko iyyuu keessa hin jiraanne, kan namni keessa hin dabarre ni taʼu.
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon is fallen.
Ani Baabilon keessatti Beelin nan adaba; waan inni liqimse illee nan tufsiisa. Saboonni lammata gara isaatti hin yaaʼan; dallaan Baabilonis ni jiga.
45 Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
“Yaa saba ko, ishee keessaa baʼaa! Lubbuu keessan oolfachuuf fiigaa! Dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo sodaachisaa sana jalaa baqadhaa.
46 lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come [one] year, and after that a rumour in [another] year, and violence in the earth, ruler against ruler.
Yeroo oduun biyya keessatti dhagaʼamutti garaan keessan hin raafamin yookaan hin sodaatin; akka gooliin biyya keessa jiru, akka bulchaan tokko bulchaa kaanitti kaʼu, oduun tokko barana, kaan immoo bara dhufu dhagaʼama.
47 Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
Yeroon ani itti waaqota Baabilon tolfamoo adabu dhugumaan ni dhufaatii; biyyi ishee guutumaan guutuutti ni salphatti; qalamtoonni ishee hundis ishee keessatti kukkufu.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.
Ergasii samii fi lafti, wanni isaan keessa jiru hundis, gammadanii Baabilonitti ililchu; barbadeessitoonni kaabaa baʼanii ishee waraanuutii” jedha Waaqayyo.
49 As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
“Akkuma qalamtoonni lafa irraa hundi sababii Baabiloniif harcaʼan sana Baabilonis sababii qalamtoota Israaʼeliif harcaʼuu qabdi.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Isin warri goraadee jalaa miliqxan, deemaa; lafa irra hin harkifatinaa! Biyya fagootti illee Waaqayyoon yaadadhaa; waaʼee Yerusaalemis yaadaa.”
51 — We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our face: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
“Sababii ormoonni iddoo qulqullaaʼaa mana Waaqayyootti qalaniif, nu salphifamneerra; waan arrabsamneefis qaaniidhaan fuula keenya haguugganne.”
52 — Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
“Garuu barri ani itti, waaqota ishee tolfamoo adabuu fi yeroon guutummaa lafa ishee irratti warri madaaʼan aadan dhufaa jira” jedha Waaqayyo.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
“Yoo Baabilon samiitti ol baatee daʼannoo ishee ol dheeraa jabeeffatte iyyuu, ani warra ishee barbadeessan itti nan erga” jedha Waaqayyo.
54 The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
“Baabilonii iyyi, lafa Baabilonotaatii immoo sagaleen badiisa guddaa ni dhagaʼama.
55 for Jehovah spoileth Babylon, and he will destroy out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice resoundeth.
Waaqayyos Baabilonin ni barbadeessa; inni waca ishee ni calʼisiisa, dambaliin isaaniis akkuma bishaan guddaa ni huursa; sagaleen huursaa isaaniis ni dhagaʼama.
56 For the spoiler is come against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken; their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the God of recompences, will certainly requite.
Barbadeessaan tokko Baabilonitti ni dhufa; gootonni ishee ni qabamu; futtaaftuun isaaniis ni caccaba; Waaqayyo, Waaqa haaloo baʼuudhaatii; inni guutumaan guutuutti gatii ishee ni deebisaaf.
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
Ani qondaaltotaa fi ogeeyyii ishee, akkasumas bulchitoota, ajajjoota waraanaatii fi gootota ishee nan macheessa; isaanis bara baraan ni rafu; hin dammaqanis,” jedha mootichi maqaan isaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, jedhamu sun.
58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; so that the peoples will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fire: and they shall be weary.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; “Dallaan Baabilon yabbuun sun ni jiga; karrawwan ishee dhedheeroon ibiddaan gubamu; namoonni akkasumaan of dadhabsiisu; dadhabbiin sabootaa qoraan ibiddaa qofa taʼa.”
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Nerijah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
Yeroo Seraayaan ilmi Neeriyaa, ilmi Mahiseyaa bara Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa afuraffaatti mooticha wajjin gara Baabilon deemetti ajajni Ermiyaas Raajichi isaaf kenne kanaa dha.
60 And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
Ermiyaas badiisa Baabilonitti dhufu hunda, jechuunis waaʼee Baabilon kan barreeffame hunda kitaaba maramaa irratti barreessee ture.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
Innis Seraayaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Yommuu Baabilon geessutti dubbii kana hunda sagalee ol fudhattee dubbisuu hin dagatin.
62 and say, Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, that thou wilt cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
Akkanas jedhi: ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, akka namni yookaan horiin ishee keessa hin jiraanneef ati akka iddoo kana barbadeessitu dubbatteerta; isheenis bara baraan ni onti.’
63 And it shall be, when thou hast ended reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
Yeroo kitaaba maramaa kana dubbiftee fixxutti dhagaa itti hidhiitii Laga Efraaxiisitti darbadhu.
64 and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, because of the evil that I will bring upon it: and they shall be weary. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
Akkanas jedhi; ‘Sababii badiisa ani isheetti fiduutiin akka lammata hin kaaneef Baabilon akkasitti ni liqimfamti. Uummanni ishees ni harcaʼa.’” Dubbiin Ermiyaas as irratti raawwatama.
