Isaiah 24
1 Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
Kunoo, Waaqayyo lafa ni onsa; ishees ni barbadeessa; inni ishee gaggaragalchee warra ishee irra jiraatan bittinneessa;
2 And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
Kan saba irra gaʼu luba irra, kan garbicha irra gaʼu gooftaa irra, kan garbittii irra gaʼu giiftii irra, kan bitataa irra gaʼu gurgurataa irra, kan isa ergifatu irra gaʼu, isa ergisu irra, kan liqeeffataa irra gaʼu, isa liqeessu ni gaʼaatii.
3 The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
Lafti guutumaan guutuutti ni onti; guutumaan guutuuttis ni saamamti. Waaqayyo waan kana dubbateeraatii.
4 The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
Lafti ni gogdi; bifti ishees ni geeddarama; addunyaan ni bututti; bifti ishees ni geeddarama; gurguddoonni saba lafaas ni bututu.
5 And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual covenant.
Lafti saba isheetiin xuroofteerti; isaan seeraaf ajajamuu didan; sirnaan buluu didanii kakuu bara baraa sana cabsaniiru.
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
Kanaafuu abaarsi lafa balleessa; sabni ishees balleessaa isaatiif adabama. Kanaafuu jiraattonni lafaa ni gubatu; nama muraasatu hafa.
7 The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
Daadhiin wayinii haaraan ni goga; mukni wayiniis ni coollaga; warri gammadan hundinuu ni aadu.
8 The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
Dibbeen sagaleen isaa namatti tolu ni calʼisa; wacni fandalaltootaa qabbanaaʼeera; baganaan nama gammachiisus calʼiseera.
9 They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
Isaan siʼachi sirbaa daadhii wayinii hin dhugan; dhugaatiin jabaan warra isa dhuganitti ni hadhaaʼa.
10 It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
Magaalaan diigamte sun ontee hafti; akka namni tokko iyyuu ol hin seenneef manni hundi ni cufama.
11 In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
Isaan daadhii wayinii dhabanii daandii irratti booʼu; gammachuun hundi gaddatti geeddarama; ililchuun hundis lafa irraa dhabama.
12 Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
Magaalaan sun diigamtee hafti; karri ishees ni caccaba.
13 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
Akkuma yeroo mukni ejersaa dhaʼamuu fi akkuma yeroo wayiniin galfamutti qarmiin hafu taʼu sana, lafa irratti saboota gidduuttis akkasuma ni taʼa.
14 They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
Isaan sagalee ol fudhatanii gammachuun iyyu; gama lixa biiftuutti ulfina Waaqayyoo labsu.
15 Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
Kanaafuu isin baʼa biiftuu irraa Waaqayyoof ulfina kennaa; qarqara galaanaattis maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel leellisaa.
16 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
Nu moggaa lafaa irraa faarfannaa, “Isa qajeelaa sanaaf ulfinni haa taʼu” jedhu dhageenya. Ani garuu akkanan jedhe; “Ani bade, ani bade! Anaaf wayyoo! Gantoonni ni ganu! Gantoonni gantummaa isaaniitiin ganu!”
17 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Yaa uummata lafa irraa, sodaan, qilee fi kiyyoon si eeggatu.
18 And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
Namni sagalee goolii baqatu kam iyyuu qilee keessa buʼa; namni qilee keessaa ol baʼu kam iyyuu kiyyoodhaan qabama. Foddaan samiiwwanii banameeraatii hundeewwan lafaa ni raafamu.
19 The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
Lafti baqaqxeerti; lafti gargar baateerti; lafti akka malee raafamteerti;
20 The earth staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
Lafti akkuma nama machaaʼee gatantarti; isheen akkuma daasii bubbeedhaan raafamti; yakki fincila ishee akka malee itti ulfaateera; isheen ni jigdi; deebitees hin kaatu.
21 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
Waaqayyo gaafas humnoota samii, samii irratti, mootota lafaa immoo lafa irratti ni adaba.
22 And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
Isaan akkuma hidhamtootaa boolla keessaatti walitti qabamu; manni hidhaa itti cufamee guyyaa hedduu booddee adabamu.
23 And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
Jiʼi ni burjaajofti; aduunis ni qaanofti; Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Tulluun Xiyoon irrattii fi Yerusaalem keessatti fuula maanguddootaa duratti ulfinaan ni moʼaatii.
