< Isaiah 14 >

1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land; and the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Waaqayyo Yaaqoobiif garaa ni laafa; inni amma illee Israaʼelin filatee biyya isaanii keessa isaan qubachiisa. Ormoonni isaanitti dabalamu; mana Yaaqoob wajjinis tokko taʼu.
2 And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and for handmaids; and they shall take them captive, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Saboonni isaan fudhatu; iddoo ofii isaaniitti isaan deebisu. Manni Israaʼel immoo akkuma hojjettoota dhiiraa fi dubartiitti lafa Waaqayyoo keessatti dhaala godhanii isaan fudhatu. Isaan boojitoota isaanii boojiʼanii warra isaan hacuucanis bulchu.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy travail, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve,
Guyyaa Waaqayyo itti dhiphina, rakkinaa fi hojii hamaa isin itti garboomfamtanii turtan sana jalaa isin boqochiisutti,
4 that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say: How hath the oppressor ceased! the exactress of gold ceased!
akkana jettee mootii Baabilonitti ni qoosta: Cunqursichi akkamitti bade! Aariin isaas akkamitti isa irraa gale!
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers,
Waaqayyo ulee hamootaatii fi bokkuu bulchitootaa,
6 That smote the peoples in wrath with an incessant stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
kan dheekkamsa wal irraa hin cinneetiin uummata rukute; kan gara laafina tokko malee ariʼee saboota dhaʼe sana caccabseera.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into singing.
Lafti hundi boqonnaa fi nagaa argatti; faarfachuuttis kaati.
8 Yea, the cypresses rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.'
Gaattiraawwanii fi birbirsawwan Libaanoon iyyuu isinitti burraaqanii, “Amma ati kufteerta; namni tokko iyyuu nu muruuf hin dhufu” jedhu.
9 The nether-world from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; the shades are stirred up for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; all the kings of the nations are raised up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
Siiʼool isheen gadii yeroo ati dhuftutti si simachuuf kaati; isheen akka isaan si dubbisaniif hafuurota warra duʼanii, warra addunyaa irratti hooggantoota turanii hunda dammaqsiteerti; isheen warra mootota sabootaa turan hunda teessoo isaanii irraa kaafti. (Sheol h7585)
10 All they do answer and say unto thee: 'Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?
Isaan hundinuu deebisanii akkana jedhu; “Atis akkuma keenya dadhabdeerta; akkuma keenya taateerta.”
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the nether-world, and the noise of thy psalteries; the maggot is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.' (Sheol h7585)
Ulfinni kee hundinuu, sagalee baganaa keetii wajjin awwaala keessa buufameera; ilmaan raammoo si jala afamanii raammoon si haguugdi. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations!
Yaa bakkalcha barii, ilma barii barraaqaa, ati akkamitti samii irraa lafa dhoofte! Ati kan duraan saboota gad qabde, lafatti gad darbatamteerta!
13 And thou saidst in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne, and I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the north;
Ati garaa keetti akkana jette; “Ani samiitti olin baʼa; ani urjiiwwan Waaqaatii olitti teessoo koo olin baafadha; ani tulluu wal gaʼii irra, fiixee tulluu qulqullichaa irra teessoo irra nan taaʼa.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.'
Ani fiixee duumessootaa gara irraatti ol nan baʼa; ani akka Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ofin taasisa.”
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world, to the uttermost parts of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Garuu ati siiʼool keessa, boolla qilee keessa buufamteerta. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that saw thee do narrowly look upon thee, they gaze earnestly at thee: 'Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Warri si argan ija babaasanii si ilaalu; akkana jedhaniis dinqisiifatu: “Kun namichuma lafa sochoosee akka mootummoonni raafaman godhe,
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?'
namicha addunyaa kana gammoojjii godhe, kan magaalaawwan ishee gaggaragalchee akka warri boojiʼaman mana isaaniitti hin deebine godhe sanaa?”
18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.
Mootonni sabootaa hundi, ulfinaan awwaala isaanii keessa ciciisaniiru.
19 But thou art cast forth away from thy grave like an abhorred offshoot, in the raiment of the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the pavement of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot.
Ati garuu akkuma damee jibbame tokkootti, awwaala kee keessaa baafamtee gatamteerta; ati warra ajjeefamaniin, warra goraadeen waraanamaniin, warra gara dhagaa boollaatti gad buʼaniin haguugamteerta. Akkuma reeffaa miillaan dhidhiitamteerta;
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever.
ati sababii biyya kee balleessitee namoota kee fixxeef, isaan gidduutti hin awwaalamtu. Maqaan sanyii hamootaa lammata hin dhaʼamu.
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.
Sababii cubbuu abbootii isaaniitiif iddoo ilmaan isaa itti qalaman qopheessaa; isaan biyya dhaaluudhaaf, magaalaawwan isaaniitiinis lafa guutuuf hin kaʼan.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and offshoot and offspring, saith the LORD.
“Ani isaanitti nan kaʼa,” jedha Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Ani Baabilon keessaa maqaa isheetii fi hambaa ishee, ilmaan isheetii fi sanyii ishee nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
“Ani iddoo urunguun keessa jiraattuu fi lafa caffee ishee nan godha; ani hartuu badiisaatiin ishee nan haxaaʼa” jedha Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,
Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedhee kakateera; “Dhugumaan akkuma ani duraan karoorfadhe sana wanni kun ni taʼa; akkuma ani yaade sanas ni dhaabata.
25 That I will break Asshur in My land, and upon My mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.
Ani biyya koo keessatti Asoorota nan barbadeessa; tulluuwwan koo irratti ani isa gad dhidhiita. Waanjoon isaa saba koo irraa ni fuudhama; baʼaan isaas gatiittii isaanii irraa ni buʼa.”
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Karoorri guutummaa addunyaatiif murtaaʼe kanaa dha; kun harka saboota hunda irratti diriirfamee dha.
27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu waan kana yaadeeraatii, eenyutu isa garagalcha? Harki isaa diriirfameeraa; eenyutu duubatti isa deebisuu dandaʼa?
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
Raajiin kun bara Aahaaz mootichi duʼe keessa dhufe:
29 Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a flying serpent.
Yaa Filisxeemota, uleen isin dhaʼe waan cabeef, isin hundinuu hin gammadinaa; hidda bofa sanaa keessaa buutiitu baʼa; iji isaa bofa darbatamaa summii qabu ni taʼa.
30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
Hiyyeessi gadadamaan iddoo itti bobbaʼu argata; rakkataanis nagaadhaan ciisa. Hidda kee garuu ani beelaan nan barbadeessa; beellis hambaa kee ni fixa.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; melt away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
Yaa karra, ati booʼi! Yaa magaalaa, iyyi! Filisxeemonni hundi baqaatii badaa! Duumessi aaraa tokko karaa kaabaatiin ni dhufa; raayyaa waraana isaa keessas kan citee hafu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
32 What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of His people take refuge.
Ergamoota saba sanaatiif deebii akkamiitu kennamuu mala? “Waaqayyo jabeessee Xiyoonin dhaabeera; ishee keessattis namoonni isaa kanneen miidhaman daʼannoo ni argatu.”
