Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremias the son of Helcias, of the priests that were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin.
Kun dubbii Ermiyaas ilma Hilqiyaa kan luboota biyya Beniyaam keessa magaalaa Anaatoot jiraatan keessaa tokko taʼe sanaa ti.
2 The word of the Lord which came to him in the days of Josias the son of Amon king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo bara Yosiyaas ilma Aamoon mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha sadaffaatti gara Ermiyaas dhufe;
3 And which came to him in the days of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, unto the end of the eleventh year of Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda, even unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
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.
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
5 Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.
“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.”
6 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
Anis, “Wayyoo, yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ani akkamitti akkan dubbadhu hin beeku; ani mucaa xinnoo dha” nan jedhe.
7 And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
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.
8 Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
Ati jara hin sodaatin; ani si baasuuf si wajjinan jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
9 And the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me: Behold I have given my words in thy mouth:
Ergasiis Waaqayyo harka isaa hiixatee afaan koo tuqee akkana naan jedhe; “Kunoo, ani dubbii koo afaan kee keessa kaaʼeera.
10 Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root up, and pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant.
Ilaa, ani akka ati buqqiftuu fi diigduuf, akka barbadeessituu fi garagalchituuf, akka ijaartuu fi dhaabduuf harʼa sabootaa fi mootummoota irratti si muudeera.”
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara koo dhufee, “Ermiyaas, ati maal argaa jirta?” naan jedhe. Anis deebisee, “Damee muka lawuzii arguuttin jira” jedhe.
12 And the Lord said to me: Thou hast seen well: for I will watch over my word to perform it.
Waaqayyo immoo, “Ati sirriitti argite; ani akka dubbiin koo fiixaan baʼuuf kutadhee kaʼeeraatii” naan jedhe.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying: What seest thou? I see a boiling caldron, and the face thereof from the face of the north.
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.
14 And the Lord said to me: from the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Gara kaabaatii balaan warra biyyattii keessa jiraatan hundatti ni buʼa.
15 For behold I will call together all the families of the kingdoms of the north: saith the Lord: and they shall come, and shall set every one his throne in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all the walls thereof round about, and upon all the cities of Juda,
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.
16 And I will pronounce my judgements against them, touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, and have adored the work of their own hands.
Sababii isaan na dhiisanii waaqota biraaf ixaana aarsuudhaan waan harki isaanii hojjete waaqeffachuudhaan hammina hojjetaniif ani saba kootti murtii nan labsa.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not afraid at their presence: for I will make thee not to fear their countenance.
“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.
18 For behold I have made thee this day a fortified city, and a pillar of iron, and a wall of brass, over all the land, to the kings of Juda, to the princes thereof, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.
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.
19 And they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
Isaan si lolu; garuu si hin moʼatan; ani si baasuuf si wajjin jiraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
