Isaiah 3
1 For behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Taketh away from Jerusalem and from Judah every stay and support; The whole stay of bread, and the whole 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 mighty man, and the warrior, The judge, the prophet, the diviner, and the sage,
gootaa fi loltuu, abbaa murtiitii fi raajii, hooda himaa fi maanguddoo,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, The counsellor, the expert in arts, and the skilful in charms.
ajajaa shantamaatii fi nama ulfina qabu, gorsituu, ogeessa hojii harkaatii fi ogeessa waa dawweessuu beeku irraa fudhata.
4 And I will make boys their princes, And children shall rule over them.
“Ani dargaggoota qondaaltota isaanii nan godha; ijoolleen isaan bulchu.”
5 And the people shall oppress one another, Man striving against man, and neighbor against neighbor; The boy shall behave himself insolently toward the aged, And the base toward the honorable.
Namoonni wal hacuucu; namni tokko nama kaanitti, ollaanis, ollaa isaatti kaʼa. Dargaggeessi jaarsatti, tuffatamaanis kabajamaatti kaʼa.
6 Then shall a man take hold of his brother in his father's house, [[and say, ]] Thou hast yet clothing, Be thou our ruler, And take this ruin into thy hands!
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 But in that day shall he lift up his hand, and say: I am no healer; In my house is neither bread nor raiment; Make not me 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 tottereth, and Judah falleth, Because their tongues and their deeds are against Jehovah, To provoke his holy eyes.
Yerusaalem gatantaraa jirti; Yihuudaan immoo kufteerti; dubbii isaaniitii fi gochi isaanii Waaqayyoon mormuudhaan ulfina argamuu isaa xureessa.
9 Their very countenance witnesseth against them; They publish their sin like Sodom; they hide it not; Woe to them, for they bring evil upon 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 of the righteous that it shall be well with him, For he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
Akka wanni kun isaaniif tolu qajeeltotatti himaa; isaan buʼaa hojii isaanii nyaatu.
11 Woe to the wicked, it shall be ill with him, For the work of his hands shall be repaid him!
Hamaadhaaf wayyoo! Badiisni isatti ni dhufa! Inni gatii harka isaa ni argata.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O my people, thy leaders cause thee to err, And destroy the way in which thou walkest!
Dargaggoonni saba koo cunqursu; dubartoonni isaan bulchu. Yaa saba ko, qajeelchitoonni keessan karaa irraa isin jalʼisaniiru; isaan irraa isin gorsaniiru.
13 Jehovah standeth up to maintain his cause; He standeth up to judge his people.
Waaqayyo murtii kennuuf taaʼeera; saba isaattis muruuf kaʼeera.
14 Jehovah entereth into judgment with the elders of his people, and their princes: “So then ye have consumed 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 the faces of the poor?” Saith Jehovah, the Lord of hosts.
Isin saba koo caccabsuun keessan, fuula hiyyeeyyiis butuchuun keessan maal gochuu keessan?” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
16 Thus, also, saith Jehovah: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks, And glance their eyes wantonly, Mincing their steps as they go, And tinkling with their foot-clasps,
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 make their heads bald, And Jehovah will expose their nakedness.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan mataa intallan Xiyoonitti qaaqee ni fida; Waaqayyo gubbee mataa isaanii moleessa.”
18 In that day shall the Lord take from them The ornaments of the foot-clasps, and the net-works, and the crescents;
Gaafas Gooftaan faaya miidhagina isaanii: albuu, marata mataa, faaya mormaa kan baatii fakkaatu,
19 The ear-rings, and the bracelets, and the veils;
amartii gurraa, bitawoo, haguuggii fuulaa,
20 The turbans, and the ankle-chains, and the belts; The perfume-boxes, and the amulets;
Marata mataa, faaya miillaa, sabbata, bilqaaxxii shittoo, kudhaama,
21 The finger-rings, and the nose-jewels;
qubeelaa chaappaa, amartii funyaanii
22 The embroidered robes, and the tunics, and the cloaks, and the purses;
wandaboo filatamaa, koofiyyaa, qoloo, korojoo harkaa,
23 The mirrors, and the linen shifts, and the head-bands, and the large veils.
of ilaaleewwan, wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, gonfoo dubartootaatii fi uffata mormaa isaan irraa mulqa.
24 And instead of perfume there shall be corruption; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of curled locks, baldness; Instead of a wide mantle, a covering of sackcloth; Fire-scars 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, Yea, thy mighty men in battle;
Namoonni keessan goraadeedhaan, loltoonni keessanis lola keessatti dhumu.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she, being desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
Karri Xiyoon faarsitee boossi; isheen ontee lafa teessi.
