Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and that dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
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 Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be their arm every morning, yea, our salvation in the time of trouble.
Yaa Waaqayyo, nu maari; nu si eeggannaa. Ati ganama ganama jabina keenya, yeroo dhiphinaatti immoo fayyina keenya nuuf taʼi.
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
Sagalee kakawwee keetiitiin, namoonni baqatu; yeroo ati ol kaatutti, saboonni ni bittinnaaʼu.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon it.
Yaa saboota, akkuma hawwaannisni walitti qabamu sana boojuun keessan walitti qabama; namoonnis akkuma tuuta hawwaannisaa irra uʼutaalu.
5 Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness;
Waaqayyo ol ol jedha; inni ol gubbaa jiraataatii; inni murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan Xiyoonin guuta.
6 and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your 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 without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
Kunoo gootonni isaanii sagalee ol fudhatanii daandii irratti iyyu; ergamoonni nagaas hiqqifatanii booʼu.
8 The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
Karaawwan gurguddaan onaniiru; namni karaa irra deemu hin jiru. Walii galteen diigameera; dhuga baatonni ishee tuffatamaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu hin kabajamu.
9 The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.
Lafti ni boossi; ni barbadoofti; Libaanoon ni qaanofti; ni coollagdi; Shaaroon akka gammoojjii taati; Baashaanii fi Qarmeloos baala isaanii harcaafatu.
10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani amma nan kaʼa; ani amma ol ol nan jedha; ani amma nan kabajama.
11 Ye shall conceive dry grass, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath shall devour you [as] fire.
Isin habaqii ulfooftu; cidii deessu; hafuurri isin baafattan ibidda gubee isin fixuu dha.
12 And the peoples shall be [as] burnings of lime, [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
Namoonni akkuma nooraa gubamu; akkuma qoraattii cirameettis ibiddi itti qabsiifama.”
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and ye that 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 hath surprised the hypocrites: Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire? who among us shall 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 that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing 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 shall dwell on high, the fortresses of the rocks shall be his high retreat; bread shall be given him, his water shall be sure.
iddoo ol kaʼaa irra jiraata; daʼannoon isaas kattaa jabaa taʼa. Buddeenni isaaf ni kennama; bishaanis isatti hin hirʼatu.
17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off.
Iji kee mooticha miidhagummaa isaatiin arga; biyya fagoo jirtu illee ni ilaala.
18 Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted 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 Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.
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 solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall 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 Jehovah is unto us glorious, — a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
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 Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us.
Waaqayyo abbaa murtii keenyaatii; Waaqayyo seera nuuf kenna; Waaqayyo mootii keenya; inni nu fayyisa.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
Funyoon kee laafeera; utubaan isaa jabaatee hin dhaabamne; sharaanis hin diriirfamne. Ergasii boojuun baayʼeen ni qoodama; okkolaan iyyuu boojuu ni fudhata.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven [their] iniquity.
Namni Xiyoon keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu, “Na dhukkuba” hin jedhu; cubbuun warra achi jiraatanis ni dhiifamaaf.
