Ezekiel 21
1 AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
“Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara Yerusaalemitti garagalfadhuutii iddoo qulqulluu kanaan mormii lallabi. Biyya Israaʼeliinis mormii raajii dubbadhu;
3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
akkanas isheen jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani sitti nan kaʼa. Goraadee koo manʼee isaa keessaa luqqifadhee nama qajeelaas, hamaas si keessaa nan balleessa.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Waan ani nama qajeelaas, nama hamaas balleessuudhaaf goraadeen koo saba kibbaa hamma kaabaatti jirutti ni luqqifama.
5 That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
Akka ani Waaqayyo goraadee koo manʼee isaa keessaa luqqifadhe, namni hundi ni beeka; innis manʼee isaatti hin deebiʼu.’
6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
“Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, aadi! Fuula isaanii duratti garaa cabaa fi gadda hadhaaʼaadhaan aadi.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord God.
Yommuu isaan, ‘Ati maaliif aadda?’ jedhanii si gaafatanitti, ‘Sababii oduu dhagaʼamaa jiruutiif. Onneen hundi ni baqxi; harki hundis ni laafa; hafuurri hundi ni gaggaba; jilbi hundis bishaan taʼa.’ Oduuni sun dhagaʼamaa jira! Dhugumaanis ni taʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
8 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
“Yaa ilma namaa, raajii dubbadhuutii, ‘Gooftaan akkana jedha’ jedhi: “‘Goraadee! Goraadee! Goraadee qaramee cululuqfame,
10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
kan ajjeesuuf qarame, akka balaqqee calaqqisuudhaaf cululuqfame! “‘Nu bokkuu ilma koo Yihuudaatiin gammannaa? Goraadeen ulee akkasii hunda tuffata.
11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
“‘Goraadeen akka harkaan qabatamuuf cululuqfamuuf ramadameera; harka warra nama qaluutti kennamuuf qaramee cululuqfameera.
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Yaa ilma namaa, kun saba kootti, ilmaan mootota Israaʼel hundatti dhufeeraatii, iyyii wawwaadhu. Isaan saba koo wajjin goraadeedhaaf kennamaniiru. Kanaafuu ati laphee kee rukuti.
13 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord God.
“‘Qorumsi dhugumaan ni dhufa. Yoo bokkuun goraadeen tuffate sun itti fufuu baate hoo? jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’
14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
“Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, ati raajii dubbadhu; harka kees walitti rurrukuti. Goraadeen yeroo lama, yeroo sadiis haa dhaʼu. Goraadeen kun goraadee nama fixu, goraadee akka malee nama fixu, kan qixa hundaan isaan marsuu dha.
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
Kunis akka onneen baqxee hedduun isaanii barbadeeffamaniif ani balbala isaanii hunda dura ajjeechaaf goraadee kaaʼeera. Wayyoo! Inni akka calaqqisuuf haxaaʼameera; inni nama ajjeesuuf cululuqfame.
16 Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
Yaa goraadee, kallattii qara keetii hundaan karaa mirgaatiinis, karaa bitaatiinis kuti.
17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the Lord have said it.
Anis harka koo walitti nan rurrukuta; dheekkamsi koos ni qabbanaaʼa. Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheeraa.”
18 The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
“Yaa ilma namaa, akka goraadeen mootii Baabilon ittiin dhufuuf daandii lama baasi; lachanuu biyyuma tokkoo kaʼu. Iddoo daandiin sun gara magaalaatti goru irras mallattoo dhaabi.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
Goraadee Rabbaa Amoonotaatti dhufuuf daandii tokko mallattoo godhadhu; kan Yihuudaa fi magaalaa Yerusaalem ishee daʼannoo qabdu sanatti dhufu immoo daandii lammaffaa mallattoo godhadhu.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
Mootiin Baabilon milkii ilaallachuuf jedhee iddoo daandiin sun wal gaʼu irra, fiixee daandiiwwan lamaanii irra dhaabata; innis xiyyaan ixaa buufata; waaqota isaa tolfamoo sanaan ni mariʼata; tiruus ni ilaallata.
22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
Akka inni waan ittiin dallaa diigu dhaabuuf, akka ajaja ajjeechaa kennuuf, akka waca waraanaa dhageessisuuf, akka waan ittiin dallaa diigan karra dura kaaʼuuf, akka biyyoo tuuluu fi akka daʼannoo hojjetuuf harka isaa mirgaatti ixaan Yerusaalemiif baʼe.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
Wanni kunis warra isa wajjin kakuu galaniif milkii sobaa fakkaata; inni garuu dogoggora isaanii isaan yaadachiisee boojuudhaan isaan fudhata.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: ‘Isin sababii akka cubbuun keessan waan isin hojjettan hunda keessatti mulʼatuuf, akka balleessaan keessan hin dhokanne gochuudhaan waan akka yakki keessan yaadatamu gootaniif jechuunis waan akkana gootaniif ni boojiʼamtu.
25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,
“‘Yaa ilma mootii Israaʼel xuraaʼaa fi hamaa nana, kan guyyaan kee dhiʼaate, kan yeroon adabama keetii fiixee gaʼe,
26 Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Marata of irraa hiiki; gonfoos of irraa fuudhi. Wanti akka amma jirutti hafu hin jiru; kan gad qabame ol qabama; kan ol qabame immoo gad qabama.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.
Diigama! Diigama! Ani ishee nan diiga! Hamma namni isheen isaaf maltu dhufutti isheen akka kanaan duraa hin taatu; ishees isaaf nan kenna.’
28 And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:
“Yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii raajii dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan waaʼee Amoonotaa fi arrabsoo isaanii akkana jedha: “‘Goraadee, goraadee, kan ajjeesuuf luqqifame, akka fixuu fi akka calaqqisuuf kan haxaaʼame!
29 Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
Mulʼanni sobaa waaʼee keetiif, raajiin sobaa siif jiraatu iyyuu, inni morma hamoota ajjeefamuu qaban kanneen guyyaan isaanii dhiʼaate, warra yeroon adabbii isaanii gaʼe irra ni kaaʼama.
30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.
Goraadee manʼee isaatti deebisi; iddoo ati itti dhalattetti, biyya akaakayyuu keetiitti, ani sitti nan mura.
31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.
Ani dheekkamsa koo sirratti nan dhangalaasa; ibidda aarii kootiis sitti nan buufa; ani namoota hamoo kanneen balleessuudhaan beekamanitti dabarsee sin kenna.
32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the Lord have spoken it.
Ati qoraan ibiddaa taata; dhiigni kee biyya kee keessatti dhangalaʼa; siʼachi hin yaadatamtu; ani Waaqayyo dubbadheeraatii.’”
