Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Warri rakkina guddaa keessa turan garuu siʼachi gadda keessa hin jiraatan. Inni duraan biyya Zebuuloonii fi biyya Niftaalem gad deebise; gara fuulduraatti garuu Galiilaa Namoota Ormaa kan Yordaanosiin gama, qarqara Daandii Galaanaa irra jiran sana ni kabaja.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
Sabni dukkana keessa jiraatu ifa guddaa argeera; warra biyya dukkana limixii keessa jiraataniifis ifni baʼeera.
3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
Ati saba baayʼiftee gammachuu isaanii illee guddifteerta; isaan akkuma uummanni yeroo midhaan haamamutti gammadu sana, akkuma namoonni yeroo boojuu qooddatanitti gammadan sana fuula kee duratti ni ililchu.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
Ati akkuma bara Midiyaanin moʼatame sanaa, waanjoo isaanitti ulfaate somaa gatiittii isaanii irraa ulee cunqursaa isaanii illee caccabsiteerta.
5 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
Kopheen loltuun ittiin duulte hundi, uffanni dhiiga keessa cuuphame hundi ibiddaan gubama; qoraan ibiddaas taʼa.
6 For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Mucaan nuuf dhalateera; ilmi nuuf kennameera; mootummaan gatiittii isaa irra jiraata. Innis Gorsaa Dinqisiisaa, Waaqa Jabaa, Abbaa Bara baraa, Mootii Nagaa jedhamee ni waamama.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.
Babalʼinni mootummaa isaatii fi nagaan isaa dhuma hin qabu. Innis murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan hundeessee jabeessee dhaabuudhaan yeroo sanaa jalqabee bara baraan teessoo Daawit irra taaʼee mootummaa isaa bulcha. Hinaaffaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuus waan kana ni raawwata.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
Gooftaan dhaamsa tokko Yaaqoobitti ergeera; kunis Israaʼel irra buʼa.
9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
Uummanni hundi, Efreemii fi jiraattonni Samaariyaa waan kana ni beeku; isaanis of tuuluu fi garaa of jajuun akkana jedhu;
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
“Xuubiiwwan diigamaniiru; nu garuu dhagaa soofameen deebisnee ijaarra; mukkeen harbuu murmuramaniiru; nu garuu birbirsa iddoo buusna.”
11 Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo amajaajota Reziin isaanitti jabeesse; diinota isaanii illee isaanitti kakaase.
12 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Warri Sooriyaa gama baʼaatiin, Filisxeemonni immoo gama lixaatiin afaan banatanii Israaʼelin liqimsan. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.
Sabni sun garuu gara isa isaan dhaʼe sanaatti hin deebine yookaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hin barbaaddanne.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼel irraa mataa fi eegee kuta; damee meexxiitii fi shambaqqoo guyyuma tokkoon balleessa;
15 The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
maanguddoonnii fi kabajamoonni mataa dha; raajonni soba barsiisan immoo eegee dha.
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Namoonni saba kana qajeelchan isaan dogoggorsu; warri isaaniin qajeelfamanis karaa irraa badu.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan dargaggootatti hin gammadu yookaan ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaatiif hin naʼu; namni hundinuu kan Waaqa hin sodaannee fi hamaadhaatii; afaan hundinuus hamaa dubbata. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
Hamminni dhugumaan akka ibiddaa bobaʼa; inni sokorruu fi qoraattii illee gubee balleessa, bosona gobbuus ni qabata; akkuma aara ol baʼuuttis ol baʼa.
19 Through the LORD of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
Dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuutiin lafti ni gubatti; namoonnis qoraan ibiddaa taʼu; namni kam iyyuu obboleessa isaa oolchuu hin dandaʼu.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
Karaa mirgaatiin ni butatu; garuu beela hin baʼan; karaa bitaatiin ni nyaatu; garuu hin quufan. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii foon aantee isaa nyaata;
21 Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Minaaseen Efreemin nyaata; Efreemis Minaasee nyaata; isaan tokkummaadhaan Yihuudaatti garagalu. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
