Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.
Yaa barbadeessaa, ati kan hin barbadeeffamin siif wayyoo! Yaa gantuu, ati kan hin ganamin siif wayyoo! Ati yommuu barbadeessuu dhiiftutti ni barbadeeffamta; yommuu ganuu dhiiftuttis ni ganamta.
2 O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.
Yaa Waaqayyo, nu maari; nu si eeggannaa. Ati ganama ganama jabina keenya, yeroo dhiphinaatti immoo fayyina keenya nuuf taʼi.
3 The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.
Sagalee kakawwee keetiitiin, namoonni baqatu; yeroo ati ol kaatutti, saboonni ni bittinnaaʼu.
4 Your spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
Yaa saboota, akkuma hawwaannisni walitti qabamu sana boojuun keessan walitti qabama; namoonnis akkuma tuuta hawwaannisaa irra uʼutaalu.
5 The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
Waaqayyo ol ol jedha; inni ol gubbaa jiraataatii; inni murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan Xiyoonin guuta.
6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.
Inni bara keetiif hundee amansiisaa, kuusaa fayyinaa, kan ogummaatii fi kan beekumsaa taʼa; Waaqayyoon sodaachuun furtuu badhaadhummaa kanaa ti.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
Kunoo gootonni isaanii sagalee ol fudhatanii daandii irratti iyyu; ergamoonni nagaas hiqqifatanii booʼu.
8 The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are despised, and human life is disregarded.
Karaawwan gurguddaan onaniiru; namni karaa irra deemu hin jiru. Walii galteen diigameera; dhuga baatonni ishee tuffatamaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu hin kabajamu.
9 The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed. Sharon is like a desert; Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
Lafti ni boossi; ni barbadoofti; Libaanoon ni qaanofti; ni coollagdi; Shaaroon akka gammoojjii taati; Baashaanii fi Qarmeloos baala isaanii harcaafatu.
10 “Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani amma nan kaʼa; ani amma ol ol nan jedha; ani amma nan kabajama.
11 You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
Isin habaqii ulfooftu; cidii deessu; hafuurri isin baafattan ibidda gubee isin fixuu dha.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
Namoonni akkuma nooraa gubamu; akkuma qoraattii cirameettis ibiddi itti qabsiifama.”
13 You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
Isin warri fagoo jirtan waan ani hojjedhe dhagaʼaa; warri dhiʼoo jirtanis humna koo beekaa!
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
Cubbamoonni Xiyoon keessaa ni sodaatu; warri Waaqatti hin bulles hollachaa, “Nu keessaa eenyutu ibidda waa balleessu wajjin jiraachuu dandaʼa? Nu keessaa eenyutu ibidda bara baraan hin dhaamne wajjin jiraachuu dandaʼa?” jedhu.
15 He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
Namni qajeelummaan jiraatee dhugaa dubbatu, kan faayidaa karaa dabaatiin argamu lagatee harka isaa mattaʼaa fudhachuu irraa eeggatu, namni marii nama ajjeesuu irraa gurra isaa cuqqaallatee jalʼina ilaaluu irraa ija isaa dunuunfatu,
16 he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.
iddoo ol kaʼaa irra jiraata; daʼannoon isaas kattaa jabaa taʼa. Buddeenni isaaf ni kennama; bishaanis isatti hin hirʼatu.
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar.
Iji kee mooticha miidhagummaa isaatiin arga; biyya fagoo jirtu illee ni ilaala.
18 Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
Atis akkana jettee garaa keetti raafama durii sana yaadda: “Ajajaan ol aanaan sun eessa jira? Namichi gibira fuudhu sun eessa jira? Ajajaan itti gaafatamaan gamoowwanii eessa jira?”
19 You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
Ati siʼachi saba hamaa, kan haasaan isaa namaaf hin galle, kan afaan isaa haaraa taʼee fi hin hubatamne hin argitu.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
Xiyoon, magaalaa ayyaana keenyaa hubadhuu ilaali; iji kee Yerusaalemin, iddoo jireenyaa nagaa qabu, dunkaana hin buqqifamne arga; qofoon ishee hin buqqifamu; yookaan funyoon ishee tokko iyyuu hin citu.
21 But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.
Waaqayyo achitti Humna keenya taʼa. Iddoon sunis akkuma lageen gurguddaatii fi burqaawwanii taʼa. Dooniin waraanaa kan batoodhaan oofamu tokko iyyuu isaan irra hin deemu; dooniin jabaan tokko iyyuu isaan irra hin qaxxaamuru.
22 For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.
Waaqayyo abbaa murtii keenyaatii; Waaqayyo seera nuuf kenna; Waaqayyo mootii keenya; inni nu fayyisa.
23 Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.
Funyoon kee laafeera; utubaan isaa jabaatee hin dhaabamne; sharaanis hin diriirfamne. Ergasii boojuun baayʼeen ni qoodama; okkolaan iyyuu boojuu ni fudhata.
24 And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.
Namni Xiyoon keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu, “Na dhukkuba” hin jedhu; cubbuun warra achi jiraatanis ni dhiifamaaf.
