Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me. in the ninth year in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying:
Waggaa saglaffaa, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa bultii kurnaffaatti; dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 Son of man. Write thee the name of the day, this selfsame day, —the king of Babylon cast himself against Jerusalem, on this selfsame day.
“Yaa ilma namaa guyyaa kana, guyyaa harʼaa kana galmeeffadhu; mootiin Baabilon guyyaa harʼaa kana Yerusaalemin marseeraatii.
3 Put thou forth therefore, against the perverse house a parable, and say unto them Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Set on the caldron set it on, Moreover also pour into it water:
Mana fincilaa kanatti akkana jedhii fakkeenya himi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Okkotee itti affeelan ibidda irra kaaʼi; ibidda irra kaaʼiitii bishaan itti naqi.
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, Every good piece thigh and shoulder, With the choice of the bones, fill it:
Foon murmuramaa, foon murmuramaa filatamaa hunda jechuunis tafaa fi cinaacha itti naqi. Lafeewwan filatamoodhaanis isa guuti;
5 Take of the choice of the rock, Moreover also pile of bones place under it, - Boil the pieces thereof, Yea let the bones of it seethe in the midst thereof.
bushaayee keessaa filatamaa isaa fuudhi. Lafee bilcheessuudhaaf okkotee sana jala qoraan naqi; akka gaariitti affeeli; lafee isaas bilcheessi.
6 Wherefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed. The caldron whose scum is in it, and whose scum, hath not gone out of it: Piece by piece, bring it out, There hath fallen thereon no lot.
“‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: “‘Magaalaa dhiiga namaa dhangalaaftuuf, okkotee xuriin itti qabatee xuriin sun irraa hin baʼiniif wayyoo! Utuu ixaa hin buusin gumaa gumaa isaa keessaa fuudhii duwwaa hambisi.
7 For, her own blood, hath come to be in her midst, Upon the smooth face of the cliff, hath she set it, - She hath not poured it out on the earth, that she might cover it with dust.
“‘Dhiigni isheen dhangalaafte ishee keessa jiraatii; isheen kattaa qulullaaʼaa irratti dhiiga sana dhangalaafte; isheen dhiiga sanatti biyyoo deebisuuf lafatti hin dhangalaafne.
8 To bring up indignation to execute an avenging, have I set her blood upon the smooth face of the cliff, —that it may not be covered.
Ani dheekkamsa koo kakaasee haaloo baʼuuf jedhee akka dhiigni sun hin haguugamneef dhiiga ishee kattaa qulullaaʼaa irratti nan dhangalaase.
9 Wherefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed, —Even I myself, will make large the pile.
“‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Magaalaa dhiiga dhangalaaftu sanaaf wayyoo! Anis qoraan ibiddaa nan tuula.
10 Heap on the wood Kindle the fire, Consume the flesh, Yea season with spice, And let the bones be scorched.
Qoraan irra tuuli; ibiddas itti qabsiisi. Urgooftuu itti naqiitii foon isaa akka gaariitti affeeli; lafeen isaas haa gubamu.
11 Then set it upon the live coals thereof empty, —that the copper of it may be scorched and burn. So that the impurity thereof may be annihilated within it The scum thereof be consumed,
Ergasii akka xuriin isaa irraa baqee wanni irratti ligidaaʼe gubatee baduuf, hamma inni hoʼee sibiilli diimaan isaa baqutti, okkotee duwwaa sana cilee bobaʼu irra kaaʼi.
12 With toils, hath she wearied herself, —Since her abundant scum will not go out of her, into the fire, with her scum!
Yaaliin godhame hundi akkasumaan hafe; ligidaaʼuun isaas ibiddaan iyyuu gad hin dhiifne.
13 In thine uncleanness, is lewdness; be- cause I purified thee and thou wast not purified, from thine uncleanness, thou shalt not be purified any more, until I have let mine indignation rest upon thee.
“‘Xuraaʼummaan kee addaggummaa dha. Ani si qulqulleessuu yaaleera; ati garuu xuraaʼummaa kee irraa hin qulqulloofne; hamma dheekkamsi koo sirraa deebiʼutti ati lammata hin qulqullooftu.
14 I Yahweh, have spoken It cometh and I will perform I will not let alone, neither will I shield, Nor will I repent, - According to thy ways and according to thy doings, have they judged thee, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
“‘Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheera. Yeroon ani itti hojjedhu naaf dhufeera. Ani duubatti hin deebiʼu; ani garaa hin laafu yookaan hin gaabbu. Akkuma amala keetiittii fi hojii keetiitti sitti murama, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
15 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
16 Son of Man Behold me! taking away from thee the delight of thine eyes, with a stroke, - But thou shall not lament Neither shalt thou weep, Neither shall come—thy tears:
“Yaa ilma namaa, ani waan iji kee itti gammadu dhaʼicha tokkoon si duraa nan fuudha. Taʼus ati hin gaddin yookaan hin booʼin yookaan imimmaan tokko iyyuu hin dhangalaasin.
17 To groan, forbear, Over the dead—no mourning, shalt thou make Thy chaplet, bind thou on thee And thy sandals: , put thou on thy feet, And thou shalt not cover thy beard, And the bread of other men, shalt thou not eat.
Of keessatti aadi; nama duʼeef hin booʼin. Marata kee maradhu; kophee kees miilla keetti kaaʼadhu; fuula kee gara gadiitiin hin haguuggatin yookaan buddeena warra gaddaa hin nyaatin.”
18 So I spake unto the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening, —and I did in the morning, as I had been commanded.
Kanaafuu ani ganamaan sabatti nan hime; niitiin koos galgala duute. Guyyaa itti aanu ganama ani akkuman ajajame sana nan godhe.
19 Then said the people unto me: Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou shouldst be acting thus?
Namoonnis, “Waan kana gochuun kee hiikkaa maalii akka nuuf qabu ati nutti hin himtuu?” jedhanii na gaafatan.
20 So I said unto them: The word of Yahweh hath come unto me, saying:
Anis akkanan isaaniin jedhe; “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
21 Say to the house of Israel thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! profaning my sanctuary. The pride of your strength, The delight of your eyes And the object of the tender regard of your soul, - And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind, by the sword, shall fall.
Mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani iddoo koo qulqulluu jechuunis daʼannoo isin ittiin boontan, waan iji keessan itti gammadu, waan isin jaallattan sana nan xureessa. Ilmaanii fi intallan keessan kanneen isin dhiiftanii deemtan immoo goraadeedhaan ni dhumu.
22 Then shall ye do, as I have done.— The beard, shall ye not cover, And the bread of other men: , shall ye not eat;
Isinis akkuma ani godhe sana gootu. Fuula keessan gara gadiitiin hin haguuggattan yookaan buddeena warra gaddaa hin nyaattu.
23 And your chaplets shall be on your heads. And your sandals on your feet, Ye shall neither lament, nor weep, - Yet shall ye pine away in your iniquities, and shall groan one to another.
Maranni keessan mataa keessan irra, kopheen keessan immoo miilla keessan irra haa turu. Isin sababii cubbuu keessaniitiif ni huqqattan; walii wajjinis ni aaddu malee hin gadditan yookaan hin boossan.
24 So shall Ezekiel become to you a wonder, According to all that he hath done, shall ye do: When it cometh, then shall ye know that I am The Lord, Yahweh.
Hisqiʼeel mallattoo isiniif taʼa; isinis akkuma inni godhe sana ni gootan. Yeroo wanni kun taʼutti isin akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beektu.’
25 Thou, therefore Son of man, Shall it not be— In the day when I take away from them Their strength, The joy of their adorning, — The delight of their eyes And the desire of their soul, Their sons and their daughters
“Yaa ilma namaa, gaafa ani daʼannoo isaanii, gammachuu fi ulfina isaanii, waan iji isaanii itti gammadu, waan garaan isaanii hawwuu fi ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii fudhadhutti,
26 That in that day, one that hath escaped shall come in unto thee, —to cause thee to hear it with thine own ears?
gaafas namni miliqee baʼe tokko dhufee oduu sitti hima.
27 That in that day, thy mouth shall be opened unto him that hath escaped, And thou shalt speak and not be dumb any longer? So shalt thou become to them a wonder, And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
Gaafas afaan kee ni banama; atis isa wajjin ni haasofta; ergasii hin calʼistu. Kanaafuu ati isaaniif mallattoo ni taata; isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
