< Ezekiel 16 >

1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
“Yaa ilma namaa, hojii ishee jibbisiisaa sana Yerusaalemitti himi;
3 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother an Hittite.
akkanas jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan Yerusaalemiin akkana jedha: Sanyii fi dhaloonni kee biyya Kanaʼaanotaa ti; abbaan kee nama Amoor; haati kee immoo nama Heet.
4 And as for your nativity, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to supple you; you were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Ati gaafa dhalatte hin handhuuramne yookaan akka qulqullooftuuf bishaaniin hin dhiqamne yookaan soogiddaan hin sukkuumamne yookaan huccuudhaan hin maramne.
5 None eye pitied you, to do any of these to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person, in the day that you were born.
Namni tokko iyyuu ija gara laafinaatiin si hin ilaalle yookaan wantoota kanneen siif gochuuf garaa siif hin laafne. Qooda kanaa ati dirreetti gatamte; ati gaafa dhalatte tuffatamtee turteetii.
6 And when I passed by you, and saw you polluted in your own blood, I said to you when you were in your blood, Live; yes, I said to you when you were in your blood, Live.
“‘Anis utuun achiin darbuu siʼii dhiiga kee keessa ciiftee dhidhiitattu sin arge; utuma ati achi dhiiga kee keessa ciiftuu ani, “Jiraadhu!” siinan jedhe.
7 I have caused you to multiply as the bud of the field, and you have increased and waxen great, and you are come to excellent ornaments: your breasts are fashioned, and your hair is grown, whereas you were naked and bore.
Akkuma biqiltuu dirreettis sin guddise. Atis guddattee jabaattee lula akka malee miidhagu taate. Ati qullaa fi harka duwwaa turte, guntuta baaftee rifeensi kees guddate.
8 Now when I passed by you, and looked on you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.
“‘Ani yeroon deebiʼee achiin darbutti si ilaaleen akka ati jaalalaaf geesse sin arge; handaara wayyaa kootiis sirra buuseen qullummaa kee haguuge. Siif kakadhees si wajjin waadaa nan gale, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; atis kan koo taate.
9 Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
“‘Ergasii ani bishaaniin si dhiqee dhiiga sirraa miicee zayitii si dibe.
10 I clothed you also with broidered work, and shod you with badgers’ skin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and I covered you with silk.
Ani uffata faayeffame sitti uffisee kophee gogaa irraa hojjetame illee sitti nan kaaʼe. Wayyaa miidhagaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame sitti uffisee uffata gatii guddaa immoo sirra buuse.
11 I decked you also with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.
Ani faayaan si miidhagseera jechuunis irree keetti bitawoo, morma keetti immoo amartii siif godheera;
12 And I put a jewel on your forehead, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
ani funyaan keetti qubeelaa, gurra keetti amartii, mataa keetti immoo gonfoo miidhagaa kaaʼeera.
13 Thus were you decked with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; you did eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper into a kingdom.
Atis akkasiin warqee fi meetiidhaan miidhagfamte; uffanni kees quncee talbaatii fi haarriidhaan faayeffamee hojjetamee ture; nyaanni kee daakuu bullaaʼaa, dammaa fi zayitii ejersaa ture. Ati akka malee bareeddee mootittii taʼuuf kaate.
14 And your renown went forth among the heathen for your beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put on you, says the Lord GOD.
Waaʼee bareedina keetiitiifis maqaan kee saboota gidduu tamsaʼe; surraan ani siif kenne bareedina kee kan hanqina hin qabne godheeraatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
15 But you did trust in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
“‘Ati garuu miidhagina kee amanattee maqaa kee sagaagalummaadhaaf itti fayyadamte. Kara deemaa kam iyyuu wajjin sagaagaltee miidhagina kees kenniteef.
16 And of your garments you did take, and decked your high places with divers colors, and played the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Uffata kee keessaas tokko tokko fuutee iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen itti sagaagaltu sana ittiin miidhagsite. Wanni akkasii takkumaa taʼee hin beeku; fuuldurattis hin taʼu.
17 You have also taken your fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men, and did commit prostitution with them,
Faayawwan miidhagoo ani siif kenne kan warqee fi meetii koo irraa hojjetaman fudhattee korommii waaqota tolfamoo ofii keetiif hojjetattee isaan wajjin sagaagalte.
18 And took your broidered garments, and covered them: and you have set my oil and my incense before them.
Uffata kee kan faayeffamee hojjetames isaanitti uffistee, zayitii fi ixaana koos fuula isaanii duratti dhiʼeessite.
19 My meat also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you have even set it before them for a sweet smell: and thus it was, says the Lord GOD.
Nyaata ani siif kenne jechuunis daakuu bullaaʼaa, zayitii ejersaatii fi damma ani akka ati nyaattuuf siif kenne sana akka ixaana urgaa gaarii qabuutti fuula isaanii duratti dhiʼeessite. Wanni akkasii taʼeera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
20 Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and these have you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Is this of your prostitutions a small matter,
“‘Ati ilmaanii fi intallan kee kanneen naaf deesse fuutee akka isaan nyaata waaqota tolfamoo taʼaniif aarsaa gootee dhiʼeessite. Sagaagalummaan kee hin gaʼu turee?
21 That you have slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Ati ijoollee koo qaltee waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa goote.
22 And in all your abominations and your prostitutions you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bore, and were polluted in your blood.
Ati hojii kee jibbisiisaa fi sagaagalummaa hojjete hundaan baroota ijoollummaa keetii, yeroo qullaa fi miilla duwwaa, yeroo dhiiga kee keessa gangalachaa turte sana hin yaadanne.
23 And it came to pass after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the LORD GOD; )
“‘Wayyoo! Siif wayyoo, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Jalʼina kee kaan hunda irratti immoo,
24 That you have also built to you an eminent place, and have made you an high place in every street.
ofii keetiif waltajjii qopheeffatte; oobdiiwwan uummataa hundatti galma waaqeffannaa ol dheeraa hojjette.
25 You have built your high place at every head of the way, and have made your beauty to be abhorred, and have opened your feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied your prostitutions.
Fiixee daandii hundaatti gaarran sagadaa kee ol dhedheeroo ijaarratte; nama achiin darbu hundaaf dhagna kee dhiʼeessitee sagaagalummaa kee baayʼisuudhaan miidhagina kee busheessite.
26 You have also committed fornication with the Egyptians your neighbors, great of flesh; and have increased your prostitutions, to provoke me to anger.
Ati warra Gibxi, olloota kee kanneen dhagna guddaa qaban wajjin sagaagaltee sagaagalummaa kee kan hamma hin qabne sanaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaafte.
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of them that hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of your lewd way.
Kanaafuu ani harka koo sitti kaasee qooda kee sirraa nan hirʼise; ani intallan Filisxeemotaa warra diinota kee taʼan kanneen amala sagaagalummaa kee saalfatanitti dabarsee si kenneera.
28 You have played the whore also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the harlot with them, and yet could not be satisfied.
Ati sababii dharraa hin baʼiniif warra Asoor wajjinis akkasuma sagaagalte; ati amma illee dharraa hin baane.
29 You have moreover multiplied your fornication in the land of Canaan to Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied therewith.
Ergasiis itti fuftee daldaltoota biyya Baabilon wajjin sagaagalte; garuu kanaan iyyuu dharraa hin baane.
30 How weak is your heart, says the LORD GOD, seeing you do all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
“‘Ati akka sagaagaltuu hin saalfanne tokkootti waan kana hunda gochuun kee yaada dadhabaa akkamii qabaatteeti! jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
31 In that you build your eminent place in the head of every way, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as an harlot, in that you scorn hire;
Ati yeroo fiixee daandii hundaatti waltajjii tolfattee oobdii uummataa hunda irratti iddoowwan sagadaa keetii ol dhedheeroo ijaarrattetti, ati sababii gatii hin baasisiniif akka sagaagaltuu tokkoo hin turre.
32 But as a wife that commits adultery, which takes strangers instead of her husband!
“‘Yaa niitii sagaagaltuu nana! Ati qooda dhirsa keetii kara deemaa filatta!
33 They give gifts to all whores: but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
Sagaagaltuun kam iyyuu gatii fudhatti; ati garuu michoota kee hundaaf kennaa kennita; akka isaan iddoo kamii iyyuu gara kee dhufanii si wajjin sagaagalaniif jettee mattaʼaa kennitaaf.
34 And the contrary is in you from other women in your prostitutions, whereas none follows you to commit prostitutions: and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given to you, therefore you are contrary.
Kanaafuu sagaagalummaan kee kan warra kaaniitiin adda; namni kam iyyuu si argachuuf si faana hin buʼu. Ati gatii kennita malee waan gatiin siif hin kennamneef ati kan addaa ti.
35 Why, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
“‘Kanaafuu yaa sagaagaltuu nana, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi!
36 Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness discovered through your prostitutions with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you did give to them;
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii ati qabeenya kee dhangalaaftee michoota kee wajjin sagaagalummaa baayʼisuudhaan qullaa kee dhaabatteef, sababii waaqota kee jibbisiisoo hundaatii fi sababii dhiiga ijoollee keetii isaaniif kenniteef,
37 Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all them that you have loved, with all them that you have hated; I will even gather them round about against you, and will discover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
ani michoota kee kanneen ati isaan wajjin bashannante jechuunis warra ati jaallattus warra ati jibbitus walitti nan qaba. Ani iddoo hundaatii isaaniin sitti waamee fuula isaanii duratti qullaa sin dhaaba; isaanis qullaa kee hunda ni argu.
38 And I will judge you, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.
Ani adabbii dubartoota sagaagalaniitii fi dhiiga namaa dhangalaasaniif malu sitti nan murteessa; dheekkamsa koo fi hinaaffaa kootiinis dhiiga kee nan dhangalaasa.
39 And I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your eminent place, and shall break down your high places: they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bore.
Ergasii ani harka michoota keetiitti dabarsee sin kenna; isaanis waltajjii kee ni diigu; iddoowwan sagadaa keetii ol dhedheeroos ni barbadeessu. Isaan wayyaa kee sirraa baasanii faaya kee miidhagaa sana illee sirraa fudhatu; qullaa keetii fi harka duwwaas si hambisu.
40 They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
Isaan jeeqxota sitti kakaasu; jarris dhagaadhaan si tuman; goraadeedhaanis si kukkutu.
41 And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women: and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire any more.
Isaan manneen keessan ni gubu; fuula dubartoota hedduu durattis isin adaban. Ani sagaagaltummaa kee sin dhiisisa; siʼachis michoota keetiif gatii hin kaffaltu.
42 So will I make my fury toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Yoos dheekkamsi koo sirraa qabbanaaʼa; hinaaffaan koos sirraa ni deebiʼa; ani nan calʼisa; siʼachis hin aaru.
43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense your way on your head, says the Lord GOD: and you shall not commit this lewdness above all your abominations.
“‘Sababii ati bara ijoollummaa keetii yaadachuu dhiiftee wantoota kanneen hundaan na aarsiteef, ani dhugumaan waan ati hojjette matuma keetti nan deebisa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Ati hojii kee jibbisiisaa kaan hunda irratti wal bira gaʼuu haala hamaadhaan hojjetamu dabalatteerta mitii?
44 Behold, every one that uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
“‘Namni mammaaksa mammaaku kam iyyuu, “Intalli akkuma haadhaa ti” jedhee waaʼee kee mammaaksa kana mammaaka.
45 You are your mother’s daughter, that lothes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Ati intala haadha kee kan dhirsaa fi ijoollee ishee balfite sanaa ti; ati obboleettii obboleettota kee kanneen dhirsoota isaaniitii fi ijoollee isaanii balfan sanaa ti. Haati kee nama Heeti, abbaan kee immoo nama Amoor turan.
46 And your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at your left hand: and your younger sister, that dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Obboleettiin kee hangafni Samaariyaa ishee intallan ishee wajjin siin gama kaabaa jiraattu sanaa ti; obboleettiin kee quxisuun Sodoom ishee intallan ishee wajjin siin gama kibbaa jiraattuu ti.
47 Yet have you not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways.
Ati karaa isaanii duukaa buutee hojiiwwan isaanii jibbisiisoo sana hojjechuu qofa utuu hin taʼin karaa kee hundumaan daftee isaan caalaa amala badde.
48 As I live, says the Lord GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; obboleettiin kee Sodoomii fi intallan ishee iyyuu takkumaa waan atii fi intallan kee hojjettan kana hin hojjenne.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
“‘Egaa cubbuun obboleettii kee Sodoom kana ture: Ishee fi intallan ishee of tuultotaa fi quufoo turan; yaada malees jiraatan; isaan hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota hin gargaarre.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Isaan of tuultota turan; fuula koo duratti waan jibbisiisaa hojjetan. Kanaafuu ani akkuma isin argitan sana isaan nan balleesse.
51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters in all your abominations which you have done.
Samaariyaan cubbuu ati hojjette sana walakkaa isaa illee hin hojjenne. Ati isaan caalaa waan jibbisiisaa hojjettee waanuma hojjette kana hundaan obboleettota kee qajeeltota fakkeessite.
52 You also, which have judged your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins that you have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than you: yes, be you confounded also, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
Ati waan obboleettota keetiif falmii qopheessiteef qaanii kee baadhadhu. Sababii cubbuun kee cubbuu isaanii caalaa hamaa taʼeef isaan si caalaa qajeeltota fakkaatu. Kanaafuu qaanaʼiitii salphina kee baadhadhu; ati akka obboleettonni kee qajeeltota fakkaatan gooteertaatii.
53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of your captives in the middle of them:
“‘Taʼus ani hambaa Sodoomii fi kan intallan ishee, kan Samaariyaatii fi kan intallan ishee, kan kees kan isaanii wajjin nan deebisa;
54 That you may bear your own shame, and may be confounded in all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
kunis akka ati salphina kee baadhattee waan isaan jajjabeessuuf hojjette sana hundaan qaanoftuuf.
55 When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
Obboleettonni kee Sodoomii fi intallan ishee, Samaariyaa fi intallan ishee akkuma duraan turanitti ni deebiʼu; atii fi intallan kees akkuma duraan turtanitti ni deebitu.
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
Ati bara of tuulaa turte sana keessa obboleettii kee Sodoomiin maqaa iyyuu hin dhoofne;
57 Before your wickedness was discovered, as at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise you round about.
kunis utuu hamminni kee ifatti hin baʼin ture. Taʼus ati amma intallan Edoomiin, olloota ishee hundaa fi intallan Filisxeemotaa jechuunis warra naannoo kee jiraatan kanneen si tuffatan hundaan ni balfamta.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.
Ati gatii wal bira gaʼuu haala hamaadhaan hojjetteetii fi kan hojii kee jibbisiisaa sanaa ni argatta, jedha Waaqayyo.
59 For thus says the Lord GOD; I will even deal with you as you have done, which have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
“‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii ati kakuu cabsuudhaan walii galtee koo tuffatteef, ani akkuma siif malutti sin adaba.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
Taʼus ani kakuun yeroo ijoollummaa keetiitti si wajjin gale sana nan yaadadha; kakuu bara baraan hin diigamnes si wajjin nan gala.
61 Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder and your younger: and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
Ati gaafas yeroo obboleettota kee hangafaa fi quxisuu simattutti, karaa kee yaadattee ni qaanofta. Ani intallan taasisee isaan siifan kenna; garuu kun akka kakuu ani si wajjin gale sanaa miti.
62 And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD:
Ani si wajjin kakuu nan gala; atis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta.
63 That you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I am pacified toward you for all that you have done, says the Lord GOD.
Yeroo ani waan ati hojjette hunda siif dhiisutti, ati sababii salphina keetiitiif yaadattee ni qaanofta; lammatas afaan hin saaqattu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
