Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, doth remove from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
Kunoo Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaa irraa kennaa fi gargaarsa isaa kan midhaaniitii fi kan bishaanii hunda irraa fudhata;
2 The hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
gootaa fi loltuu, abbaa murtiitii fi raajii, hooda himaa fi maanguddoo,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
ajajaa shantamaatii fi nama ulfina qabu, gorsituu, ogeessa hojii harkaatii fi ogeessa waa dawweessuu beeku irraa fudhata.
4 And I will set up boys as their princes, and children shall rule over them.
“Ani dargaggoota qondaaltota isaanii nan godha; ijoolleen isaan bulchu.”
5 And so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
Namoonni wal hacuucu; namni tokko nama kaanitti, ollaanis, ollaa isaatti kaʼa. Dargaggeessi jaarsatti, tuffatamaanis kabajamaatti kaʼa.
6 When a man will seize hold on his brother in the house of his father, [saying, ] Thou hast a garment, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
Namni tokko mana abbaa isaatti, obboloota isaa keessaa tokko qabee, “Ati qoloo qabda; kanaafuu bulchaa nuuf taʼi; tuullaa waan diigamee kanattis itti gaafatama fudhu!” jedha.
7 He will swear on that day, saying, I will not be a chief; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing; you shall not appoint me a ruler of the people.
Inni garuu gaafas, “Ani furmaata taʼuu hin dandaʼu. Ani nyaata yookaan uffata tokko illee mana kootii hin qabu; bulchaa sabaa na hin taasisinaa” jedhee iyya.
8 For Jerusalem is sunk to decay, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to incense the eyes of his glory.
Yerusaalem gatantaraa jirti; Yihuudaan immoo kufteerti; dubbii isaaniitii fi gochi isaanii Waaqayyoon mormuudhaan ulfina argamuu isaa xureessa.
9 The boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.
Haalli fuula isaanii dhugaa isaanitti baʼa; isaan akkuma Sodoom cubbuu isaanii ifa baasu; isaan cubbuu isaanii hin dhokfatan. Isaaniif wayyoo! Isaan balaa guddaa ofitti fidaniiru.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that he hath done well; for the fruit of their doings shall they eat.
Akka wanni kun isaaniif tolu qajeeltotatti himaa; isaan buʼaa hojii isaanii nyaatu.
11 Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.
Hamaadhaaf wayyoo! Badiisni isatti ni dhufa! Inni gatii harka isaa ni argata.
12 My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.
Dargaggoonni saba koo cunqursu; dubartoonni isaan bulchu. Yaa saba ko, qajeelchitoonni keessan karaa irraa isin jalʼisaniiru; isaan irraa isin gorsaniiru.
13 The Lord is stepped forth to plead, and standeth up to judge the people.
Waaqayyo murtii kennuuf taaʼeera; saba isaattis muruuf kaʼeera.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and their princes; but ye—ye have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee maanguddootaa fi hooggantoota saba isaatti mura: “Kan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii balleesse isin; wanni hiyyeeyyii irraa saamame mana keessan jira.
15 What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind down the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
Isin saba koo caccabsuun keessan, fuula hiyyeeyyiis butuchuun keessan maal gochuu keessan?” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
16 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with stretched forth necks and casting about their eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Dubartoonni Xiyoon of tuulu; isaan morma dheereffatanii yaaʼu; ijaanis ni waammatu; faaya miilla isaanii kilillisaa cillaanfachaa deemu.
17 Therefore will the Lord smite with leprosy the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay open their nakedness.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan mataa intallan Xiyoonitti qaaqee ni fida; Waaqayyo gubbee mataa isaanii moleessa.”
18 On that day will the Lord take away the beauty of their tinkling shoe-buckles, and the hair-nets, and the crescent-shaped ornaments,
Gaafas Gooftaan faaya miidhagina isaanii: albuu, marata mataa, faaya mormaa kan baatii fakkaatu,
19 The drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
amartii gurraa, bitawoo, haguuggii fuulaa,
20 The bonnets, and the foot-chains, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
Marata mataa, faaya miillaa, sabbata, bilqaaxxii shittoo, kudhaama,
21 The finger-rings, and nose-jewels,
qubeelaa chaappaa, amartii funyaanii
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the pockets.
wandaboo filatamaa, koofiyyaa, qoloo, korojoo harkaa,
23 The mirrors, and the chemisettes, and the turbans, and the long vails.
of ilaaleewwan, wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, gonfoo dubartootaatii fi uffata mormaa isaan irraa mulqa.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be corruption; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a wide garment a girding of sackcloth, a mark of burning instead of beauty.
Qooda urgaa, ajaa; qooda sabbataa, funyoo; qooda mataa sirriitti dhaʼamee, moluu; qooda uffata miidhagaa, wayyaa gaddaa; qooda miidhaginaa fokkisuutu dhufa.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty ones in the war.
Namoonni keessan goraadeedhaan, loltoonni keessanis lola keessatti dhumu.
26 And then shall her gates lament and mourn; and stript of all shall she sit upon the ground.
Karri Xiyoon faarsitee boossi; isheen ontee lafa teessi.
