Joel 1
1 The worde of the Lord that came to Ioel the sonne of Pethuel.
Dubbii Waaqayyoo kan gara Yooʼeel ilma Phetuuʼeel dhufe.
2 Heare ye this, O Elders, and hearken ye all inhabitantes of the land, whether such a thing hath bene in your dayes, or yet in the dayes of your fathers.
Yaa maanguddoota, waan kana dhagaʼaa; warri biyyattii keessa jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa. Wanni akkanaa takkumaa bara keessan keessa yookaan bara abbootii keessanii keessa taʼee beekaa?
3 Tell you your children of it, and let your children shew to their children, and their children to another generation.
Isin waan kana ijoollee keessanitti himaa; ijoolleen keessanis ijoollee ofii isaaniitti haa himan; ijoolleen isaanii immoo dhaloota itti aanutti haa dabarsan.
4 That which is left of ye palmer worme, hath the grashopper eaten, and the residue of ye grashopper hath the canker worme eaten, and the residue of the canker worme hath the caterpiller eaten.
Waan tuunni hawwaannisaa dhiise, hawwaannisni guddaan fixe; waan hawwaannisni guddaan dhiise, hawwaannisni xixinnaan nyaatee fixe; waan hawwaannisni xixinnaan dhiise immoo hawwaannisni biraa dhufee nyaate.
5 Awake ye drunkards, and weepe, and howle all ye drinkers of wine, because of the newe wine: for it shalbe pulled from your mouth.
Yaa machooftota, kaʼaatii booʼaa! Isin warri daadhii wayinii dhugdan hundinuu wawwaadhaa; sababii daadhii wayinii haaraatiif wawwaadhaa; inni afaan keessan irraa butameeraatii.
6 Yea, a nation commeth vpon my lande, mightie, and without nomber, whose teeth are like the teeth of a lyon, and he hath the iawes of a great lyon.
Sabni jabaan akka malee baayʼeen tokko biyya koo weerareera; inni ilkaan leencaa, qarriffaa leenca dhalaa qaba.
7 He maketh my vine waste, and pilleth off the barke of my figge tree: he maketh it bare, and casteth it downe: ye branches therof are made white.
Inni muka wayinii koo onsee harbuu koos barbadeesseera. Inni qola isaanii irraa quncisee lafatti gatee dameelee isaanii duwwaa hambise.
8 Mourne like a virgine girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Isin akkuma durba wayyaa gaddaa uffattee dhirsa ijoollummaa isheetiif gaddituutti booʼaa.
9 The meate offring, and the drinke offring is cut off from the House of the Lord: the Priests the Lords ministers mourne.
Kennaan midhaaniitii fi dhibaayyuun mana Waaqayyoo irraa citaniiru. Luboonni fuula Waaqayyoo dura tajaajilan booʼaa jiru.
10 The fielde is wasted: the lande mourneth: for the corne is destroyed: the new wine is dried vp, and the oyle is decayed.
Lafti qotiisaa oneera; laftis gogeera; midhaan barbadaaʼeera; daadhiin wayinii haaraan dhumeera; zayitiinis dhabameera.
11 Be ye ashamed, O husband men: howle, O ye vine dressers for the wheate, and for the barly, because the haruest of the fielde is perished.
Yaa qonnaan bultoota, isin raafamaa; warri wayinii dhaabbattan booʼaa; sababii midhaan lafa qotiisaa keessanii barbadaaʼeef qamadii fi garbuudhaaf booʼaa.
12 The vine is dried vp, and the figge tree is decayed: the pomegranate tree and the palme tree, and the apple tree, euen all the trees of the fielde are withered: surely the ioy is withered away from the sonnes of men.
Wayiniin gogeera; harbuunis coollageera; roomaaniin, meexxii fi hudhaan, mukkeen lafa qotiisaa hundinuu goganiiru. Dhugumaan gammachuun ilmaan namaa irraa badeera.
13 Girde your selues and lament, ye Priests: howle ye ministers of the altar: come, and lie all night in sackecloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meate offring, and the drinke offring is taken away from the house of your God.
Yaa luboota, wayyaa gaddaa uffadhaatii booʼaa; isin warri iddoo aarsaa dura tajaajiltan wawwaadhaa. Isin warri fuula Waaqa koo dura tajaajiltan kottaatii wayyaa gaddaa uffadhaa bulaa; kennaan midhaaniitii fi dhibaayyuun mana Waaqaa irraa hambifamaniiruutii.
14 Sanctifie you a fast: call a solemne assemblie: gather the Elders, and all the inhabitants of the land into the House of the Lord your God, and cry vnto the Lord,
Sooma qulqulluu labsaa; waldaa qulqulluu waamaa. Maanguddootaa fi warra biyyattii keessa jiraatan hunda gara mana Waaqayyoo Waaqa keessaniitti waamaatii Waaqayyootti booʼaa.
15 Alas: for the day, for the day of the Lord is at hand, and it commeth as a destruction from the Almightie.
Badne kaa! Guyyaan sun dhiʼaateera. Guyyaan Waaqayyoo gaʼeeraatii; inni akkuma badiisaatti Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu biraa dhufa.
16 Is not the meate cut off before our eyes? and ioy, and gladnesse from the house of our God?
Ijuma keenya duratti nyaanni cite; ilillee fi gammachuunis mana Waaqa keenyaa irraa hin cinnee?
17 The seede is rotten vnder their cloddes: the garners are destroyed: the barnes are broken downe, for the corne is withered.
Sanyiin lafa keessatti tortoree hafe. Mankuusni diigameera; gombisaan caccabeera; midhaan gogee hafeeraatii.
18 How did the beasts mourne! the herdes of cattel pine away, because they haue no pasture, and the flockes of sheepe are destroyed.
Loon akkam marʼatu! Karri loonii sababii waan dheedu dhabeef asii fi achi joora; bushaayeenis dhiphataniiru.
19 O Lord, to thee will I crie: for the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernesse, and the flame hath burnt vp all the trees of the fielde.
Yaa Waaqayyo ani sin waammadha; ibiddi lafa dheedaa barbadeessee arrabni ibiddaa immoo mukkeen diidaa hunda gubee fixeeraatii.
20 The beasts of the fielde cry also vnto thee: for the riuers of waters are dried vp, and the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernes.
Bineensonni bosonaa sitti gaggabu; lagni bishaanii gogeera; ibiddis dirree dheedaa gubee balleesseera.
