Isaiah 30
1 Tragedy is coming to my defiant children, declares the Lord. You make plans that don't come from me; you make alliances against my wishes, adding sin to 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 You go to Egypt without asking me, looking to Pharaoh for protection, hoping to find safety hiding behind Egypt.
kanneen utuu anaan hin mariʼatin Gibxitti gad buʼan, kanneen gaaddisa Gibxi daʼoof, eegumsa Faraʼoon immoo gargaarsaaf abdataniif wayyoo.
3 But the protection of Pharaoh will be an embarrassment to you; hiding behind Egypt will only bring you humiliation.
Eegumsi Faraʼoon garuu qaanii isinitti taʼa; gaaddisni Gibxis salphina isinitti fida.
4 Even though he has officials at Zoan and his messengers reach Hanes,
Isaan yoo Zooʼaan keessatti qondaaltota qabaatan iyyuu, yoo ergamoonni isaaniis Haanees gaʼan iyyuu,
5 the Egyptians will offend everyone because they are useless—they're no help and good for nothing, except for causing shame and bringing disgrace.
tokkoon tokkoon isaanii sababii uummata isaan hin fayyadne kanneen qaanii fi salphina malee gargaarsa yookaan buʼaa hin kennine sanaatiif ni qaaneffamu.”
6 A message about the animals of the Negev. The messengers travel through a harsh and hostile land where lions and lionesses live, vipers and vicious snakes too. Their donkeys are burdened down with valuable gifts, their camels are loaded with treasure, to give to a worthless people that can't help.
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 Egypt's support is an empty breath of wind. That's why I call her Pride Sitting Down.
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 and write all this down on a tablet and on a scroll so that it will last forever and ever.
Amma dhaqiitii gabatee irratti barreessiif; kitaaba maramaa irratti katabiif; kunis akka baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa dhuga baʼumsa bara baraa taʼuuf.
9 For they are a rebellious people, deceitful children, who refuse to listen to the Lord's instructions.
Jarri kunneen uummata fincilaa, ijoollee sobduu dha; ijoollee seera Waaqayyoo dhagaʼuuf fedhii hin qabnee dha.
10 They tell people who see visions, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Don't give us prophecies about doing right—just tell us pleasant things and give us fake prophecies.
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 Stop telling us straight; go a different direction! We don't want to hear any more about the Holy One of Israel.”
Karaa kana gad dhiisaa; daandii kana irraa jalʼadhaa; Qulqullicha Israaʼel fuula keenya duraa dhabamsiisaa!” jedhu.
12 So this is how the Holy One of Israel replies, Since you have rejected this message, and since you trust in oppression and believe in dishonesty,
Kanaafuu Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Sababii isin ergaa kana diddanii nama hacuucuu abdattanii gowwoomsaatti irkattaniif,
13 your punishment will suddenly fall on you, like a high wall that bulges out and collapses in an instant.
cubbuun kun, akkuma dallaa ol dheeraa dhagaan ijaarame kan baqaqee bosose kan utuu hin beekamin tasa jiguu isinitti taʼa.
14 You will be smashed like a clay pot, broken into such tiny pieces that there won't be a big enough piece to pick up coals from a hearth or a little bit of water from a well.
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 This is what the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, said, If you repent and patiently trust in me, you would be saved; you would be strong if you had such calm confidence. But you refused to do it.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan, Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Deebiʼuu fi boqochuudhaan ni fayyitu; tasgabbaaʼuu fi abdachuudhaan ni jabaattu; isin garuu kana hin goone.
16 You replied, “No! We'll escape on horseback! We'll get away on fast horses!” But the fast ones will be the ones chasing you!
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 Just one of them will chase after a thousand of you. Just five of them will make you all run away. All that will be left of you will look like a flag fluttering on the top of a mountain, a banner waving 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 So the Lord waits, wanting to be kind to you, ready to act to show you mercy, for the Lord is a God who does what is right. All who wait for him are blessed.
Taʼus Waaqayyo isiniif arjoomuu barbaada; isiniif naʼuufis ni kaʼa: Waaqayyo Waaqa murtii qajeelaa ti. Warri isa eeggatan hundi eebbifamoo dha.
19 People of Zion, you who live in Jerusalem, you won't have to weep any more. When you cry for help he will be kind to you. He will answer you immediately he hears you.
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 Even though the Lord will give you the bread of hardship to eat and the water of suffering to drink, your teacher will no longer hide himself from you—you will see him with your own eyes.
Gooftaan buddeena rakkinaatii fi bishaan dhiphinaa siif kennu illee barsiisaan kee siʼachi hin dhokatu; ati ijuma keetiin isa argita.
21 When you walk to the right or to the left, you will hear this command coming from behind you: “This is the way to follow.”
Ati yeroo gara mirgaatti yookaan gara bitaatti gortutti, dugda kee duubaan sagalee, “Karaan kana; isa irra deemi” jedhu tokko gurri kee ni dhagaʼa.
22 You will defile your silver-coated idols coated with silver and your gold-covered images. You will throw them away like a dirty cloth used for periods, and say to them, “out of here!”
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 He will send rain when you sow, and the land will produce great harvests. At that time your cattle will feed in rich 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 The oxen and donkeys that help cultivate the earth will eat good greens and grain, spread with fork and shovel.
Qotiyyoo fi harreen qotiisaa okaa filatamaa qorbii fi afarsaadhaan qulqulleeffame nyaatu.
25 At that time when your enemies are killed and the fortresses fall, streams of water will flow down every mountain and hill.
Guyyaa badiisa guddaatti, yeroo qooxiiwwan eegumsaa jijjiganitti yaaʼawwan bishaanii tulluuwwanii fi gaarran ol dhedheeroo hunda irra yaaʼu.
26 The moon will shine as bright as the sun, and the sun will shine seven times brighter, like having seven days light in one. This is the way it will be when the Lord bandages the injuries of his people and heals the wounds he caused them.
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 Look how the Lord arrives from far away, burning with anger and accompanied by thick clouds of smoke! What he says shows his anger—it's like a fire that burns everything up.
Kunoo Maqaan Waaqayyoo aarii bobaʼuu fi duumessa gobbuu aaraatiin fagoodhaa dhufaa jira; afaan isaa dheekkamsaan, arrabni isaas ibidda gubee balleessuun guutameera.
28 His breath rushes out like a flood that comes up to the neck. He shakes the nations in a sieve that destroys them; he puts bridles in the mouths of the different peoples to lead them away.
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 But you will have a song to sing like you do on the night of a holy festival. You will celebrate in happiness like those who play pipes as they go up to the mountain of the Lord, 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 The Lord will shout so everyone hears him he will reveal his great power. He will hit out in his anger and fury, with a fire that burns everything up, and with torrential rain, storm, and hail.
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 At the Lord's command the Assyrians will be shattered, knocked down by his scepter.
Sagaleen Waaqayyoo Asoorin ni caccabsa; bokkuu isaatiinis isaan barbadeessa.
32 Every time the Lord hits them with his rod of punishment it will be accompanied by the music of tambourines and harps as he fights them, swinging into them in battle.
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 The place of burning has been prepared a long time ago, ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, and has plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the Lord, like a flood of burning sulfur, sets it on fire.
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.
