Esias 21
1 THE VISION OF THE DESERT. As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert, coming from a desert, [even] from such a land,
Raajii Gammoojjii Galaana bira jirtuun mormu: Akkuma bubbeen hamaan biyya kibbaa haxaaʼu sana, weeraraan tokko gammoojjiidhaa, biyya sodaachisaa keessaa ni dhufa.
2 [so] a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself.
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 loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman: I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hasted that I might not see.
Kana irratti dugdi na cite; akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu muddamni na qabe; ani waanan dhagaʼeen nan holladhe; waanan argeenis nan raafame.
4 My heart wanders, and transgression overwhelms me; my soul is occupied with fear.
Qalbiin koo ni raafame; sodaan na hollachiise; dimimmisni ani hawwe sun sodaatti na jalaa geeddarame.
5 Prepare the table, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and prepare [your] shields.
Isaan maaddii qopheessu; afaa diriirsu; ni nyaatu, ni dhugu! Isin qondaaltonni kaʼaa; gaachanas zayitii dibaa.
6 For thus said the Lord to me, Go and station a watchman for yourself, and declare whatever you shall see.
Gooftaan akkana naan jedha: “Dhaqiitii eegduu tokko ramadi; innis waan argu haa himu.
7 And I saw two mounted horsemen, and a rider on an ass, and a rider on a camel.
Inni yommuu warra farda yaabbatan kanneen lama lamaan yaaʼan, warra harree yaabbatan yookaan warra gaala yaabbatan argutti, haa dammaqu; guutumaan guutuutti haa dammaqu.”
8 Listen with great attention, and call you Urias to the watch-tower: the Lord has spoken. I stood continually during the day, and I stood in the camp all 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, behold, he comes riding in a chariot and pair: and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to 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 Hear, you that are left, and you that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts [which] the God of Israel has declared to us. THE VISION OF IDUMEA.
Yaa saba koo warra oobdii midhaanii irratti dhaʼamtan, ani waan Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqa Israaʼel irraa dhagaʼe isinittin hima.
11 Call to me out of Seir; guard you the bulwarks.
Raajii Duumaan mormu: Namni tokko Seeʼiirii na waamee, “Yaa eegduu, halkan kun bariʼuuf hammamtu hafe? Yaa eegduu, halkan kun bariʼuuf hammamtu hafe?” jedhe.
12 I watch in the morning and the night: if you would enquire, enquire, and dwell by me.
Eegduun sunis, “Bariʼuu gaʼeera; garuu deebiʼee dhiʼa. Yoo gaafachuu barbaaddan gaafadhaa; garuu deebiʼaa kottaa” jedhee deebisa.
13 You may lodge in the forest in the evening, or in the way of Daedan.
Raajii biyya Arabaatiin mormu: Isin imaltoonni Dedaan kanneen bosona Arabaa keessa qubattan,
14 You that dwell in the country of Thaeman, bring water to meet him that is thirsty;
warra dheeboteef bishaan fidaa; isin warri Teemaa keessa jiraattan, baqattootaaf waan nyaatan fidaa.
15 meet the fugitives with bread, because of the multitude of the slain, and because of the multitude of them that lose their way, and because of the multitude of swords, and because of the multitude of bent bows, and because of the multitude of them that have fallen in war.
Isaan goraadee jalaa, goraadee luqqifame jalaa, xiyya aggaamame jalaa, hoʼa waraanaa jalaa baqataniiruutii.
16 For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of an hireling, [and] the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail:
Gooftaan akkana naan jedhe: “Akkuma waggoota hojjetaa qaxaramaa tokkootti ulfinni Qeedaar hundinuu waggaa tokko keessatti ni dhuma.
17 and the remnant of the strong bows of the sons of Kedar shall be small: for the Lord God of Israel has spoken [it].
Warra xiyya darbatan keessaa kanneen hafan, gootonni Qeedaar muraasa taʼu.” Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel dubbateeraatii.
