< Isaiah 23 >

1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish! for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, none entering in. From the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
Raajii waaʼee Xiiroos: Yaa dooniiwwan Tarshiishi wawwaadhaa! Xiiroos barbadooftee mana yookaan buufata doonii malee hafteertii. Biyya Qophroos oduun isaan qaqqabeera.
2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle! The merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished thee.
Isin jiraattoonni qarqara galaanaatii fi daldaltoonni Siidoonaa, warri galaana irra marmaaran isin sooromsan calʼisaa.
3 And on great waters, the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the market of the nations.
Midhaan Shihoor bishaanota gurguddaa irraan dhufe; oomishni Abbayyaa Xiiroosiif galii ture; isheenis lafa gabaa kan sabootaa taate.
4 Be thou ashamed, Sidon, for the sea hath spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, I have not travailed nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men [nor] brought up virgins.
Yaa Siidoonaa, yaa daʼannoo galaanaa qaanaʼi; galaanni akkana jedhee dubbateeraatii: “Ani hin ciniinsifanne yookaan hin deenye; ilmaan hin horanne yookaan intallan hin guddifanne.”
5 — When the report came into Egypt, they were sorely pained at the news of Tyre.
Yeroo oduun gara Gibxi dhufutti isaan gabaasa Xiiroos irraa dhufuun ni dhiphatu.
6 Pass over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the coast!
Isin gara Tarshiishitti ceʼaa; yaa warra qarqara galaanaa jiraattan wawwaadhaa.
7 Is this your joyous [city], whose antiquity is of ancient days? Her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
Magaalaa dulloomtuun durii, kan miilli ishee ishee fuudhee, akka isheen biyya fagoo keessa qubattuuf ishee geesse kun, magaalaa kee ishee fandalaltuudhaa?
8 Who hath purposed this against Tyre, the distributor of crowns, whose merchants were princes, whose dealers were the honourable of the earth?
Xiiroos ishee gonfoo nama gonfachiiftu kan daldaltoonni ishee ilmaan moototaa taʼan kan daldaltoonni ishee lafa irratti kabajamoo taʼanitti eenyutu waan kana karoorfate?
9 Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, to profane the pride of all glory, to bring to nought all the honourable of the earth.
Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu of jaja ishee kan ulfina ishee hunda keessa jiru gad deebisuu fi warra lafa irratti kabajaman hunda salphisuuf waan kana karoorfateera.
10 Overflow thy land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish: there is no more restraint.
Yaa Intala Tarshiish, ati siʼachi buufata doonii hin qabaattuutii, lafa kee hamma Abbayyaa bira gaʼutti qotadhu.
11 He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he shaketh the kingdoms. Jehovah hath given a commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof,
Waaqayyo harka isaa galaana irra qabee mootummoota hollachiiseera. Inni akka daʼannoowwan ishee diigamaniif waaʼee Kanaʼaan ajaja kenneera.
12 and hath said, Thou shalt no more exult, [thou] oppressed virgin, daughter of Sidon: get thee up, pass over to Chittim; even there shalt thou have no rest.
Innis akkana jedha; “Yaa Durba Siidoonaa, ati kana caalaa hin fandalaltu! “Kaʼiitii gara Qophiroositti ceʼi; ati achitti iyyuu boqonnaa hin argattu.”
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans: this people did not exist; the Assyrian founded it for the dwellers in the desert: they set up their towers, they destroyed the palaces thereof; he brought it to ruin.
Mee biyya Baabilonotaa ilaali; uummanni kun amma seenaa hin qabu! Warri Asoor akka isheen iddoo jireenya uumamawwan gammoojjii taatu godhan; isaan siree eegumsaa ijaarratan; daʼannoowwan ishee qullaa hambisan; ishees ni barbadeessan.
14 Howl, ships of Tarshish! for your fortress is laid waste.
Yaa dooniiwwan Tarshiish wawwaadhaa; daʼannoon keessan barbadeeffameeraatii!
15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it shall be for Tyre as the harlot's song.
Yeroo sanaa jalqabee Xiiroos hamma waggaa torbaatamaatti ni dagatamti; kunis bara jireenya mootii tokkoo ti. Dhuma waggaa torbaatamman sanaatti garuu akkuma sirba sagaagaltuu tokkoof sirbame sanaatti Xiiroos irra gaʼa:
16 Take a harp, go about the city, thou forgotten harlot! Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
“Yaa sagaagaltuu irraanfatamtuu, baganaa qabadhuutii magaalaa keessa naannaʼi; ati akka yaadatamtuuf baganaa sirriitti rukuti; sirba baayʼee sirbi.”
17 And it shall come to pass at the end of seventy years, that Jehovah will visit Tyre; and she will return to her hire, and will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the earth upon the face of the ground.
Dhuma waggaa torbaatamaatti Waaqayyo Xiiroosin ni yaadata; isheenis gara daldala isheetti deebitee mootummoota fuula lafaa irra jiran hunda wajjin sagaagalti.
18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holy to Jehovah: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, to eat and be sufficed, and for excellent clothing.
Taʼus buʼaan isheetii fi wanni isheen argattu Waaqayyoof addaan baafama; hin kuufamu; walittis hin qabamu. Buʼaan ishees warra fuula Waaqaa dura jiraataniif nyaata gaʼaa fi uffata babbareedaa taʼa.
