< Ezekiel 34 >

1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds who lead Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the shepherds of Israel, who only look after themselves, and not the sheep! Shouldn't shepherds make sure their flock is fed?
“Yaa ilma namaa, tiksoota Israaʼelitti raajii dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Tiksoota Israaʼel warra ofuma isaanii qofa sooraniif wayyoo! Tiksoonni bushaayee sooruu hin qabanii?
3 You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.
Isin cooma ni nyaattu; suufii ni uffattu; horii gabbataa ni qalattu; bushaayee garuu hin soortan.
4 You haven't taken care of the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought home the strays, or looked for the lost. On the contrary, you ruled them using violence and cruelty.
Isin dadhabaa hin jabeessine yookaan dhukkubsataa hin fayyifne yookaan cabaa hin walʼaanne. Kanneen miliqan hin deebifne yookaan kanneen badan hin barbaanne. Humnaa fi gara jabinaan isaan ajajju.
5 They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.
Kanaafuu isaan sababii tikseen hin jirreef bittinnaaʼan; yeroo bittinnaaʼanittis bineensota bosonaatiif soora taʼan.
6 My sheep strayed, going to all the mountains and high hills. They were scattered everywhere, and there was no one to go and look for them.
Hoolonni koo gaarran hundaa fi tulluuwwan ol dhedheeroo hunda irra asii fi achi jooran. Isaan guutummaa lafaa irra faffacaʼan; namni isaan ilaalu yookaan isaan barbaadu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
7 So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:
“‘Kanaafuu isin tiksoonni, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
8 As I live, declares the Lord God, because my sheep didn't have a shepherd and were preyed on by all the wild animals for food, and because my shepherds didn't look after my sheep but instead only fed themselves,
Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; sababii bushaayeen koo tiksoota dhabanii akkasiin saamamanii bineensa bosonaatiif nyaata taʼaniif, sababii tiksoonni koo bushaayee koo barbaaduu didanii qooda bushaayee ofuma isaanii sooraniif
9 so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!
yaa tiksoota, kanaafuu isin dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
10 This is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning the shepherds, and I will take my sheep back and stop them looking after the sheep so they won't be able to feed themselves anymore. I will take away my sheep from them, and I won't let them eat the sheep anymore.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani tiksootatti nan kaʼa; bushaayee koos harka isaanii irraa nan barbaada. Akka tiksoonni siʼachi of hin soorreef bushaayee tiksuu irraa isaan nan ariʼa. Ani bushaayee koo afaan isaaniitii nan buusa; isaanis siʼachi soora isaanii hin taʼan.
11 For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.
“‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan barbaadadha; nan tikfadhas.
12 Just like a shepherd goes looking for his lost sheep when he is with the flock, so I will look for my sheep. I will rescue them from everywhere they were scattered on a dark and dismal day.
Akkuma tikseen tokko yommuu bushaayee isaa bira jirutti hoolota isaa warra bittinnaaʼan barbaaddatu sana anis hoolota koo nan barbaaddadha. Ani lafa isaan guyyaa duumessaatii fi guyyaa dukkanaa itti bittinneeffaman hundaa baasee isaan nan galfadha.
13 I will take them out from among the other nations. I will gather them from the different countries, and bring them back to their own country. Like a shepherd I will have them feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and everywhere that people live in the country.
Anis saboota keessaa isaan baasee biyyoota keessaa immoo walitti isaan nan qaba; biyya isaaniittis isaan nan deebisa. Ani gaarran Israaʼel irra, qarqara burqaawwaniitii fi lafa namni jiraatu kan biyya sana keessaa hunda isaan nan tikfadha.
14 I will provide them with good pasture and places to graze in the high mountains of Israel. They will also be able to rest there in the good pasture and in the places to graze in mountains of Israel.
Ani marga gaarii keessa isaan nan tiksa; tulluun Israaʼelis iddoo dheeda isaanii taʼa. Isaan achitti lafa dheedaa tolaa isaa irra ciciisu; marga misaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel irraas ni dheedu.
15 I myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.
Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan tikfadha; akka isaan boqotanis nan godha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
16 I will go looking for the lost, bring home the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak. However, I will destroy those who are fat and strong. Because I do what's right, I will be sure to take care of them.
Kanneen badan nan barbaada; kanneen miliqan deebisee nan galcha. Kan cabe nan hidha; kan dadhabe illee nan jajjabeessa; gabbataa fi jabaa isaa immoo nan balleessa. Ani murtii qajeelaadhaan bushaayee nan tikfadha.
17 My flock, this is what the Lord God says to you: Watch, because I will judge between one sheep and the next, between the rams and the goats.
“‘Isin garuu yaa bushaayee ko, Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani hoolaa fi hoolaa gidduutti, korbeessa hoolaatii fi korbeessa reʼee gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
18 Aren't you satisfied with feeding in good pasture? Do you have to trample down the rest of the pasture with your feet? Aren't you satisfied to drink the clear water? Do you have to muddy the rest of it with your feet?
Marga misaa keessa dheeduun keessan isin hin gaʼuu? Isin marga keessan kan hafe lafatti dhidhiituu qabduu? Bishaan qulqulluu dhuguun isinitti xinnaatee? Bishaan hafe immoo miilla keessaniin booressuu qabduu?
19 Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?
Bushaayeen koo waan isin lafatti dhidhiittan soorachuu, waan isin miilla keessaniin dhoqqeessitan immoo dhuguu qabuu?
20 That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.
“‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana isaaniin jedha: Kunoo, ani mataan koo hoolaa gabbatee fi hoolaa huqqate gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
21 Since you push others around with your sides and your shoulders, and use your horns to attack all the weak ones until you have chased them away,
Sababii isin hoolota dadadhaboo hunda cinaachaa fi gatiittii keessaniin dhiibdanii, gaanfa keessaniin immoo jifattanii alatti baaftaniif,
22 I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.
ani bushaayee koo nan oolfadha; isaanis siʼachi hin saamaman. Ani hoolaa fi hoolaa gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
23 I will put one shepherd in charge of them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.
Ani tiksee tokko jechuunis garbicha koo Daawitiin isaanittan ramada; inni isaan eega; tiksee isaaniis ni taʼa.
24 I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.
Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; Daawit garbichi koo immoo gidduu isaaniitti bulchaa ni taʼa. Ani Waaqayyo waan kana dubbadheera.
25 I will make an agreement of peace with them, and get rid of the wild animals from the country, so that they can live safely in the wilderness and sleep securely in the forest.
“‘Ani isaan wajjin kakuu nagaa nan gala; akka isaan gammoojjii keessa jiraatanii bosona keessa nagaan ciciisaniif bineensota hamoo biyyattii keessaa nan baasa.
26 I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.
Ani isaanii fi iddoowwan tulluu koo marsanii jiran nan eebbisa. Bokkaas yeroo isaatti nan roobsa; roobni sunis rooba eebbaa ni taʼa.
27 The trees in the orchards will produce their fruit; the earth will grow its crops; and my flock will be live in safety in their country. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I break their yokes of slavery, and set them free from those who made them slaves.
Mukkeen bakkee ija naqatu; laftis midhaan ni baafti; namoonni biyya isaanii keessatti tasgabbiin ni jiraatu. Yeroo ani danqaraa waanjoo isaanii cabsee harka warra isaan garboomfataniitii isaan baasutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
28 They won't be the victims of other nations anymore, and wild animals won't eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrorize them.
Isaan siʼachi sabootaan hin saamaman yookaan bineensota bosonaatiin hin nyaataman. Nagaadhaan jiraatu; wanni isaan sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
29 I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.
Ani lafa midhaan baasuudhaan beekame isaaniif nan kenna; isaan biyyattii keessatti siʼachi beelaan hin miidhaman yookaan sabootaaf waan kolfaa hin taʼan.
30 Then they will know that I am with them as the Lord their God, and that the people of Israel belong to me, declares the Lord God.
Yommus akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isaan wajjin jiruu fi akka manni Israaʼel saba koo taʼe isaan ni beeku, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
31 You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
Isin hoolonni koo, hoolonni tika koo namoota; anis Waaqa keessan, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
