Isaiah 18
1 Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
Biyya lageen Itoophiyaatiin gamaa kan qoochoo isheetiin shaakkiftuuf wayyoo;
2 that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people fearful from their beginning onward, a nation that metes out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!
isheen galaana irra, bidiruu dhallaadduutiin ergamoota bishaan irra ergiti. Yaa ergamoota ariifattoota, gara saba dhedheeroo kanneen gogaan isaanii lallaafuu, gara saba fagoo fi dhiʼoottis sodaatamuu, saba jabaa fi afaan isaa hin beekamne kan biyyi isaanii lageeniin gargar qoodamte sanaa dhaqaa.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye, and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye.
Isin uummanni addunyaa hundi, warri lafa irra jiraattan yeroo mallattoon gaara irratti ol qabamu ni argitu; yeroo malakanni afuufamus inuma dhageessu.
4 For thus Jehovah has said to me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Ani akkuma hoʼa ifa aduu keessatti calaqqisuu, akkuma duumessa fixeensaa kan hoʼa yeroo midhaan galchaniitti calʼisee iddoo jireenya kootii nan ilaala.”
5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and he will take away and cut down the spreading branches.
Haamaa midhaaniitiin dura, yeroo hudhaan daraaree daraaraan sunis ija wayinii bilchaatee taʼutti inni billaa ittiin qoraniin lataa isaa ni ciccira; damee babalʼates irraa murmuree ni balleessa.
6 They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth. And the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Isaan hundinuu allaattii tulluu kan waa adamsuu fi bineensota bosonaatiif dhiifamu; allaattiin bona guutuu, bineensonni bosonaas ganna guutuu isaan nyaatu.
7 In that time a present shall be brought to Jehovah of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people fearful from their beginning onward, a nation that metes out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion.
Gaafas saba dhedheeroo kanneen gogaan isaanii lallaafu irraa, saba fagoo fi dhiʼoottis sodaatamu irraa, saba jabaa fi afaan isaa hin beekamne kan biyyi isaanii lageeniin gargar qoodamte irraa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf kennaan ni fidama; kennaan sunis gara Tulluu Xiyoon, iddoo Maqaan Waaqayyo Waan hunda dandaʼu jiraatutti ni fidama.
