Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert Sea. As the whirlewindes in the South vse to passe from the wildernesse, so shall it come from the horrible land.
Raajii Gammoojjii Galaana bira jirtuun mormu: Akkuma bubbeen hamaan biyya kibbaa haxaaʼu sana, weeraraan tokko gammoojjiidhaa, biyya sodaachisaa keessaa ni dhufa.
2 A grieuous vision was shewed vnto me, The transgressour against a transgressour, and the destroyer against a destroyer. Goe vp Elam, besiege Media: I haue caused all the mourning thereof to cease.
Mulʼanni hamaan tokko natti mulʼateera: gantuun ni ganti; saamtuunis ni saamti. Yaa Eelaam, ol baʼi! Yaa Meedee marsii qabi! Ani aaduu isheen fidde hunda nan xumura.
3 Therefore are my loynes filled with sorow: sorowes haue taken me as the sorowes of a woman that trauayleth: I was bowed downe when I heard it, and I was amased when I sawe it.
Kana irratti dugdi na cite; akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu muddamni na qabe; ani waanan dhagaʼeen nan holladhe; waanan argeenis nan raafame.
4 Mine heart failed: fearefulnesse troubled me: the night of my pleasures hath he turned into feare vnto me.
Qalbiin koo ni raafame; sodaan na hollachiise; dimimmisni ani hawwe sun sodaatti na jalaa geeddarame.
5 Prepare thou the table: watch in the watch towre: eate, drinke: arise, ye princes, anoynt the shielde.
Isaan maaddii qopheessu; afaa diriirsu; ni nyaatu, ni dhugu! Isin qondaaltonni kaʼaa; gaachanas zayitii dibaa.
6 For thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go, set a watchman, to tell what he seeth.
Gooftaan akkana naan jedha: “Dhaqiitii eegduu tokko ramadi; innis waan argu haa himu.
7 And he sawe a charet with two horsemen: a charet of an asse, and a charet of a camel: and he hearkened and tooke diligent heede.
Inni yommuu warra farda yaabbatan kanneen lama lamaan yaaʼan, warra harree yaabbatan yookaan warra gaala yaabbatan argutti, haa dammaqu; guutumaan guutuutti haa dammaqu.”
8 And he cryed, A lyon: my lorde, I stand continually vpon ye watche towre in the day time, and I am set in my watche euery night:
Eegduun sunis akkana jedhee iyye; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani guyyuma guyyaan qooxii eegumsaa irra nan dhaabadha; halkan hundas ani hojii koo irra nan tura.
9 And beholde, this mans charet commeth with two horsemen. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen: it is fallen, and all the images of her gods hath he broken vnto the ground.
Kunoo, warri farda yaabbatan, lama lamaan dhufaa jiru; inni akkana jedhee deebise: ‘Baabilon jigdeerti; jigdeerti! Fakkiiwwan waaqota ishee hundinuu burkutaaʼanii lafa dhaʼaniiru!’”
10 O my threshing, and the corne of my floore. That which I haue heard of the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, haue I shewed vnto you.
Yaa saba koo warra oobdii midhaanii irratti dhaʼamtan, ani waan Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqa Israaʼel irraa dhagaʼe isinittin hima.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth vnto me out of Seir, Watchman, what was in ye night? Watchman, what was in the night?
Raajii Duumaan mormu: Namni tokko Seeʼiirii na waamee, “Yaa eegduu, halkan kun bariʼuuf hammamtu hafe? Yaa eegduu, halkan kun bariʼuuf hammamtu hafe?” jedhe.
12 The watchman saide, The morning commeth, and also the night. If yee will aske, enquire: returne and come.
Eegduun sunis, “Bariʼuu gaʼeera; garuu deebiʼee dhiʼa. Yoo gaafachuu barbaaddan gaafadhaa; garuu deebiʼaa kottaa” jedhee deebisa.
13 The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall yee tarie all night, euen in the waies of Dedanim.
Raajii biyya Arabaatiin mormu: Isin imaltoonni Dedaan kanneen bosona Arabaa keessa qubattan,
14 O inhabitants of the lande of Tema, bring foorth water to meete the thirstie, and preuent him that fleeth with his bread.
warra dheeboteef bishaan fidaa; isin warri Teemaa keessa jiraattan, baqattootaaf waan nyaatan fidaa.
15 For they flee from the drawen swords, euen from the drawen sword, and from the bent bowe, and from the grieuousnesse of warre.
Isaan goraadee jalaa, goraadee luqqifame jalaa, xiyya aggaamame jalaa, hoʼa waraanaa jalaa baqataniiruutii.
16 For thus hath the Lord sayd vnto me, Yet a yeere according to the yeeres of an hireling, and all the glorie of Kedar shall faile.
Gooftaan akkana naan jedhe: “Akkuma waggoota hojjetaa qaxaramaa tokkootti ulfinni Qeedaar hundinuu waggaa tokko keessatti ni dhuma.
17 And the residue of the nomber of ye strong archers of the sonnes of Kedar shall be fewe: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
Warra xiyya darbatan keessaa kanneen hafan, gootonni Qeedaar muraasa taʼu.” Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel dubbateeraatii.
