Isaiah 16
1 Send the tribute lambs to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the desert to the mount of Daughter Zion.
Seelaa, gammoojjii gama jirtu sana irraa bulchaa biyyattiitiif, gara tulluu Intala Xiyoonitti xobbaallaawwan hoolaa gibira ergaa.
2 Like fluttering birds pushed out of the nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon:
Akkuma simbira manʼee ishee keessaa ariʼamtee asii fi achi fiigduu dubartoonni Moʼaabis malkaa laga Arnoonitti akkasuma taʼu.
3 “Give us counsel; render a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.
“Gorsa nuuf kennaa; murtii murteessaa. Guyyaa saafaadhaan gaaddidduu keessan akkuma halkanii dukkaneessaa. Baqattootas dhoksaa; kooluu galtoota hin ganinaa.
4 Let my fugitives stay with you; be a refuge for Moab from the destroyer.” When the oppressor has gone, destruction has ceased, and the oppressors have vanished from the land,
Baqattoonni Moʼaab isin wajjin haa jiraatan; balleessituu irraa daʼoo isaaniif taʼaa.” Cunqursaan ni bada; badiisnis ni hafa; warri nama miidhan lafa irraa badu.
5 in loving devotion a throne will be established in the tent of David. A judge seeking justice and hastening righteousness will sit on it in faithfulness.
Teessoon jaalalaan hundeeffama; mana Daawit keessaa namni murtii kennuu irratti murtii qajeelaa barbaadu, kan waan qajeelaa hojjechuuf ariifatu tokko amanamummaadhaan teessoo sana irra ni taaʼa.
6 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his overflowing arrogance. But his boasting is empty.
Nu of tuulummaa Moʼaab, of guddisuu fi kooruu ishee, of tuuluu fi addaggee taʼuu ishee dhageenyeerra; of jajuun ishee garuu faayidaa hin qabu.
7 Therefore let Moab wail; let them wail together for Moab. Moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, you who are utterly stricken.
Kanaafuu Moʼaabonni ni booʼu; isaan tokkummaadhaan Moʼaabiif booʼu. Namoota Qiir Hareeshetiif faarsanii booʼuudhaan gaddu.
8 For the fields of Heshbon have withered, along with the grapevines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled its choicest vines, which had reached as far as Jazer and spread toward the desert. Their shoots had spread out and passed over the sea.
Lafti qotiisaa Heshboon, mukni wayinii Sibimaas coollageera. Bulchitoonni sabootaa mukkeen wayinii filatamoo kanneen duraan Yaʼizeerin gaʼanii gara gammoojjiitti babalʼatan dhidhiitaniiru. Lataan isaanii dheeratee hamma galaanaatti diriire.
9 So I weep with Jazer for the vines of Sibmah; I drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears. Triumphant shouts have fallen silent over your summer fruit and your harvest.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma Yaʼizeer boosse sana, mukkeen wayinii Sibimaatiif nan booʼa. Yaa Heshboon, yaa Eleʼaalee, ani imimmaan kootiin sin jiisa! Ililleen yeroo midhaan siif gaʼeetii fi gammachuun yeroo midhaan siif haamamu ture sun hafeera.
10 Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards. No one tramples the grapes in the winepresses; I have put an end to the cheering.
Ililchuu fi gammaduun iddoo biqiltuu keessaa badaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessatti hin faarfatu yookaan hin ililchu: sababii ani ilillee balleesseef namni iddoo wayinii itti cuunfanitti wayinii dhidhiitu tokko hin jiru.
11 Therefore my heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir-heres.
Garaan koo akkuma baganaa faarsee Moʼaabiif booʼa; keessi koos Qiir Hareeshetiif booʼa.
12 When Moab appears on the high place, when he wearies himself and enters his sanctuary to pray, it will do him no good.
Moʼaab yoo iddoo ol kaʼaatti mulʼatte, isheen ofuma dadhabsiifti; yoo kadhannaaf gara iddoo qulqulluu ishee dhaqxe kunis faayidaa tokko illee hin qabu.
13 This is the message that the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.
Kun dubbii Waaqayyo duraanuu waaʼee Moʼaab dubbatee dha.
14 And now the LORD says, “In three years, as a hired worker counts the years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”
Waaqayyo garuu amma akkana jedha: “Waggaa sadii keessatti, ulfinni Moʼaabii fi namoonni ishee hedduun hundi akkuma hojjetaan tokko guyyaa isaa lakkaaʼatu sana ni tuffatamu; kanneen hafanis akka malee muraasaa fi dadhaboo taʼu.”
