< Isaiah 30 >

1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ijoollee fincilan, kanneen karoora karoora koo hin taʼin duukaa buʼan, kanneen fedhii kootiin alatti walii galtee uuman, kanneen cubbuu irratti cubbuu dabalaniif wayyoo;
2 who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, — to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt!
kanneen utuu anaan hin mariʼatin Gibxitti gad buʼan, kanneen gaaddisa Gibxi daʼoof, eegumsa Faraʼoon immoo gargaarsaaf abdataniif wayyoo.
3 For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion.
Eegumsi Faraʼoon garuu qaanii isinitti taʼa; gaaddisni Gibxis salphina isinitti fida.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
Isaan yoo Zooʼaan keessatti qondaaltota qabaatan iyyuu, yoo ergamoonni isaaniis Haanees gaʼan iyyuu,
5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
tokkoon tokkoon isaanii sababii uummata isaan hin fayyadne kanneen qaanii fi salphina malee gargaarsa yookaan buʼaa hin kennine sanaatiif ni qaaneffamu.”
6 — The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them].
Raajii waaʼee bineensota Negeeb dubbatame: Ergamoonni qabeenya isaanii harreetti, meeshaa isaanii gaalatti feʼatanii biyya leenci kormii fi leenci dhalaan, bofti summii qabuu fi bofti darbatamu jiraatan, lafa rakkinaa fi dhiphinaan guute keessa baʼanii gara biyya homaa hin fayyadnee
7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
gara Gibxi kan gargaarsi ishee gonkumaa buʼaa hin qabne sanaa dhaqu. Kanaafuu ani, “Raʼaab, kan homaa hin fayyadne” jedhee ishee nan waama.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
Amma dhaqiitii gabatee irratti barreessiif; kitaaba maramaa irratti katabiif; kunis akka baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa dhuga baʼumsa bara baraa taʼuuf.
9 that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
Jarri kunneen uummata fincilaa, ijoollee sobduu dha; ijoollee seera Waaqayyoo dhagaʼuuf fedhii hin qabnee dha.
10 who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
Isaan mulʼata argitootaan, “Siʼachi mulʼata tokko illee hin arginaa!” jedhu; raajotaanis akkana jedhu; “Isin siʼachi mulʼata qajeelaa taʼe nutti hin himinaa! Waan nama gammachiisu nutti himaa; gowwoomsaa nuuf raajaa.
11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
Karaa kana gad dhiisaa; daandii kana irraa jalʼadhaa; Qulqullicha Israaʼel fuula keenya duraa dhabamsiisaa!” jedhu.
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
Kanaafuu Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Sababii isin ergaa kana diddanii nama hacuucuu abdattanii gowwoomsaatti irkattaniif,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
cubbuun kun, akkuma dallaa ol dheeraa dhagaan ijaarame kan baqaqee bosose kan utuu hin beekamin tasa jiguu isinitti taʼa.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
Dallaan sun akkuma miʼa supheetti, hamma wanni ittiin cilee bobaʼu iddoo ibiddaatii fuudhan iyyuu hin hafnetti yookaan hamma wanni ittiin boolla bishaanii keessaa bishaan budduuqsan hin hafnetti akka malee caccabee burkutaaʼa.”
15 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan, Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Deebiʼuu fi boqochuudhaan ni fayyitu; tasgabbaaʼuu fi abdachuudhaan ni jabaattu; isin garuu kana hin goone.
16 And ye said, No, but we will flee upon horses, — therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift, — therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Isinis, ‘Lakki, nu fardeeniin ni baqanna’ jettu. Kanaafuu isin ni baqattu! Isin, ‘Nu fardeen ariifatanii fiiganiin ni gulufna’ jettu. Kanaafuu warri isin gugsan ni saffisu!
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
Doorsisa nama tokkootiin, kumatu baqata; doorsisa nama shaniitiin immoo, isin hamma akkuma muka alaabaa fiixee tulluu irra jiruu, akkuma faajjii gaara irra jiruu taatanii haftanitti hundi keessan ni baqattu.”
18 And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he lift himself up, that he may have mercy upon you; for Jehovah is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Taʼus Waaqayyo isiniif arjoomuu barbaada; isiniif naʼuufis ni kaʼa: Waaqayyo Waaqa murtii qajeelaa ti. Warri isa eeggatan hundi eebbifamoo dha.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion, at Jerusalem. Thou shalt weep no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; as he heareth it, he will answer thee.
Yaa saba Xiyoon, warri Yerusaalem keessa jiraattan, isin siʼachi hin boossan. Yeroo isin gargaarsa barbaachaaf gara isaatti iyyattanitti inni dhugumaan isiniif arjooma! Akkuma dhagaʼeenis deebii isiniif kenna.
20 And the Lord will give you the bread of adversity, and the water of oppression; yet thy teachers shall not be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Gooftaan buddeena rakkinaatii fi bishaan dhiphinaa siif kennu illee barsiisaan kee siʼachi hin dhokatu; ati ijuma keetiin isa argita.
21 And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
Ati yeroo gara mirgaatti yookaan gara bitaatti gortutti, dugda kee duubaan sagalee, “Karaan kana; isa irra deemi” jedhu tokko gurri kee ni dhagaʼa.
22 And ye shall defile the silver covering of your graven images, and the gold overlaying of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou say unto it.
Ati ergasii waaqota kee tolfamoo kanneen meetiin irra dibamee fi fakkiiwwan kee kanneen warqeen itti uffifame sana ni xureessita; akkuma huccuu xuraaʼummaas of irraa isaan darbattee, “Asii badaa!” jettaan.
23 And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
Inni sanyii ati lafatti facaafattuuf bokkaa siif kenna; midhaan lafti baaftus kan misee fi kan akka malee baayʼate taʼa. Bara sana keessa loon kee lafa dheedaa balʼaa irratti bobbaʼu.
24 and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Qotiyyoo fi harreen qotiisaa okaa filatamaa qorbii fi afarsaadhaan qulqulleeffame nyaatu.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Guyyaa badiisa guddaatti, yeroo qooxiiwwan eegumsaa jijjiganitti yaaʼawwan bishaanii tulluuwwanii fi gaarran ol dhedheeroo hunda irra yaaʼu.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke.
Gaafa Waaqayyo cabaa saba isaa hidhee warra madeesse illee fayyisutti jiʼi akkuma aduu ifa; ifni aduus akkuma ifa guyyaa torbaa dachaa torba ni ifa.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his anger — a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire;
Kunoo Maqaan Waaqayyoo aarii bobaʼuu fi duumessa gobbuu aaraatiin fagoodhaa dhufaa jira; afaan isaa dheekkamsaan, arrabni isaas ibidda gubee balleessuun guutameera.
28 and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray.
Hafuurri inni baafatu akkuma laga guutee hamma morma gaʼutti ol kaʼuu ti. Inni gingilchaa badiisaatiin saboota gingilcha; inni luugama karaa irraa isaan balleessu haʼoo sabootaa keessa kaaʼa.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a feast is sanctified; and joy of heart, as of one who goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Isin akkuma halkan ayyaana qulqulluu ayyaaneffattanitti, faarfannaa ni faarfattu; garaan keessan akkuma yeroo namoonni ulullee afuufaa gara tulluu Waaqayyootti, gara Kattaa Israaʼelitti ol baʼan sanaa ni gammada.
30 And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
Waaqayyo akka namoonni sagalee isaa surra qabeessa sana dhagaʼan ni godha; inni akka isaan irree isaa kan aarii guddaa fi ibidda gubee balleessuun, bokkaa hamaadhaan, bakakkaa fi cabbiidhaan dhufaa jiru argan ni godha.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken down: he will smite [him] with the rod.
Sagaleen Waaqayyoo Asoorin ni caccabsa; bokkuu isaatiinis isaan barbadeessa.
32 And wherever shall pass the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambours and harps; and with tumultuous battles will he fight with it.
Adabbiin ulee kan Waaqayyo isaan irra buusu hundi sagalee dibbeetii fi sagalee kiraaraa of keessaa qaba; innis rukuttaa irree isaatiin waraana keessatti isaan lola.
33 For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Toofet dur qopheeffame; inni mootichaaf qopheeffame. Boolli ibiddaa isaa gad fageeffamee balʼifamee hojjetame; innis ibiddaa fi qoraaniin guutameera; hafuurri afaan Waaqayyootii baʼus akkuma dinyii dhangalaʼuu akka inni bobaʼu godha.
