¹The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of it, saying:

¹Kanu waa eraygii Yeremyaah xagga Rabbiga uga yimid waagii Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, iyo ciidankiisii oo dhan, iyo boqortooyooyinkii dunida oo taliskiisa ku jiray oo dhan, iyo dadkii oo dhammuba ay la dirirayeen Yeruusaalem iyo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

²Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

²Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Tag oo Sidqiyaah oo ah boqorka dalka Yahuudah la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogow, magaaladan waxaan ku ridi doonaa gacanta boqorka Baabuloon, oo isna dab buu ku gubi doonaa.

³and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.

³Oo adiguna gacantiisa kama aad baxsan doontid, laakiinse hubaal waa lagu qabsan doonaa, oo gacantiisaa lagugu ridi doonaa, oo indhahaaguna waxay fiirin doonaan indhaha boqorka Baabuloon, oo isna afkiisuu kula hadli doonaa, oo Baabuloon baad tegi doontaa.

⁴Yet hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus says Yahweh concerning you, You shall not die by the sword;

⁴Sidqiyaah boqorka dalka Yahuudahow, Weliba bal maqal erayga Rabbiga. Rabbigu wuxuu kaa leeyahay, Seef kuma dhiman doontid,

⁵you shall die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so shall they make a burning for you; and they shall lament you, saying, Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, says Yahweh.

⁵nabad baadse ku dhiman doontaa, oo wax baa laguu shidi doonaa sidii wax loogu shidi jiray awowayaashaa oo ahaa boqorradii kaa sii horreeyey, wayna kuu barooran doonaan, iyagoo leh, Hoogaye, sayidkaygiiyow, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Eraygaas anigaa ku hadlay.

⁶Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

⁶Markaas Nebi Yeremyaah wuxuu erayadaas oo dhan Yeruusaalem kagala hadlay Sidqiyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah,

⁷when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.

⁷markii boqorkii Baabuloon ciidankiisii uu la dirirayay Yeruusaalem, iyo magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah oo hadhay oo dhan, iyo xataa Laakiish iyo Caseeqaah, waayo, magaalooyinkaas deyrka lahaa ayaa ka hadhay magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan.

⁸The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;

⁸Kanu waa eraygii Yeremyaah xagga Rabbiga uga yimid markii Boqor Sidqiyaah uu dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa oo dhan axdi la dhigtay dabadeed. Axdigaasuna waa in xorriyad loogu dhawaaqo,

⁹that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.

⁹in nin kastaaba xoreeyo addoonkiisii Cibraaniga ah ama addoontiisii Cibraaniyadda ah, iyo inuusan ninna addoonsan walaalkiisa Yuhuudi ah.

¹⁰All the princes and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant, and everyone his female servant, go free, that none should make bondservants of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:

¹⁰Haddaba amiirradii iyo dadkii axdiga galay oo dhammu markay maqleen inay nin kasta waajib ku tahay inuu xoreeyo addoonkiisa iyo addoontiisaba, iyo inaan ninna iyaga mar dambe addoonsan ayay amarkaas addeeceen oo way sii wada daayeen iyagii.

¹¹but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

¹¹Laakiinse markaas dabadeed ayay ku noqdeen, oo waxay soo ceshadeen addoommadii ay mar hore sii daayeen, oo iyagay u gumaysteen inay addoommo u sii ahaadaan.

¹²Therefore the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

¹²Sidaas daraaddeed eraygii Rabbigu wuxuu xagga Rabbiga uga yimid Yeremyaah isagoo leh,

¹³Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,

¹³Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu axdi baan awowayaashiin la dhigtay maalintii aan iyaga dalkii Masar iyo gurigii addoonsiga ka soo bixiyey, oo waxaan ku idhi,

¹⁴At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers didn’t listen to me, neither inclined their ear.

¹⁴Markay toddoba sannadood dhammaystaan midkiin kastaaba ha sii daayo walaalkiisa Cibraaniga ah oo is-iibiyey, oo markuu kuu adeego lix sannadood waa inaad isaga sii daysaa isagoo xor kaa ah. Laakiinse awowayaashiin ima ay maqlin, oo dhegna iima ay dhigin.

¹⁵You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

¹⁵Idinkuse haatan waad soo noqoteen, oo wax qumman ayaad hortayda ku samayseen markii ninkiin kastaaba uu deriskiisa xorriyad ugu dhawaaqay, oo axdi baad hortayda ku gasheen idinkoo gurigii laygu magacaabay jooga.

¹⁶but you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and you brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.

¹⁶Laakiinse intaad iga noqoteen ayaad magacaygii nijaasayseen, oo ninkiin kastaaba wuxuu soo ceshaday addoonkiisii iyo addoontiisii uu ikhtiyaarkooda ku xoreeyey, oo waxaad ku soo celiseen gumaysi inay addoommo idiin sii ahaadaan.

¹⁷Therefore thus says Yahweh: you have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim to you a liberty, says Yahweh, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹⁷Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinku ima aydaan maqlin, in nin kastaa xorriyad ugu dhawaaqo walaalkiis iyo deriskiisa. Bal ogaada, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan idinku dhawaaqayaa xorriyad, taasoo ah in seef, iyo belaayo, iyo abaaru ay idin baabbi'iyaan, oo waxaan idinka dhigi doonaa inaad boqortooyooyinkii dunida oo dhan hore iyo dib ku dhex rogrogmataan.

¹⁸I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts;

¹⁸Oo nimankii axdigayga ku xadgudbay, oo aan oofin erayadii axdiga ee ay hortayda ku galeen markay weysha laba u kala gooyeen oo ay qaybaheedii kala dhex mareen,

¹⁹the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;

¹⁹kuwaasoo ah amiirradii dalka Yahuudah, iyo amiirradii Yeruusaalem, iyo bohommadii, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo dadkii dalka oo qaybihii weysha kala dhex maray oo dhan,

²⁰I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth.

²⁰waxaan kulligood ku wada ridi doonaa gacanta cadaawayaashooda, iyo gacanta kuwa naftooda doondoonaya, oo meydkooduna wuxuu cunto u noqon doonaa haadka samada iyo dugaagga dhulka.

²¹Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, who have gone away from you.

²¹Oo Sidqiyaah oo ah boqorka dalka Yahuudah, iyo amiirradiisaba waxaan ku ridi doonaa gacanta cadaawayaashooda, iyo gacanta kuwa naftooda doondoonaya, iyo gacanta ciidanka boqorka Baabuloon oo haatan idinka noqday.Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, anigu waan amri doonaa oo waxaan ka yeeli doonaa inay magaaladan ku soo noqdaan, wayna la diriri doonaan, oo qabsan doonaan, oo dab bay ku gubi doonaan, oo waxaan magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah ka dhigi doonaa cidla aan ciduna degganayn.

²²Behold, I will command, says Yahweh, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

²²Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, anigu waan amri doonaa oo waxaan ka yeeli doonaa inay magaaladan ku soo noqdaan, wayna la diriri doonaan, oo qabsan doonaan, oo dab bay ku gubi doonaan, oo waxaan magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah ka dhigi doonaa cidla aan ciduna degganayn.
