< Isaiah 29 >

1 Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, —Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;
Yaa Ariiʼeel, yaa Ariiʼeel, magaalaa Daawit keessa jiraate, siif wayyoo! Waggaa irratti waggaa dabalaa; ayyaanonni waggaas ittuma haa fufan.
2 Yet will I bring Ariel into straits, —And she shall become a bewailing and wailing, Yea she shall become to me a veritable Hearth of God.
Taʼus ani Ariiʼeelin marsee nan qaba; isheen boossee ni wawwaatti; isheen anaaf akka Ariiʼeel taati.
3 And I will encamp round about against thee, —And lay siege against thee with a fort, And raise against thee siege-works;
Ani karaa hundaan naannoo kee nan qubadha; gamoowwaniinis sin marsa; tuullaa biyyoos sitti naannessee nan dhaaba.
4 And thou shalt be brought low—Out of the earth, shalt thou speak, And out of the dust, shalt thou lower thine utterance, —And as one that hath a familiar spirit, Out of the earth, shall come thy voice, And out of the dust, thy speech shall chirp;
Ati gad deebifamtee lafa irraa ni dubbatta; haasaan kee biyyoo keessaa guunguma. Sagaleen kee akka sagalee ekeraa lafa keessaa baʼa; haasaan kees biyyoo keessaa hasaasa.
5 Then shall be as fine dust the multitude of thy foreigners, —And as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, Suddenly,
Diinonni kee hedduun garuu akka awwaara bullaaʼee, gara jabeeyyiin baayʼeenis akka habaqii bubbeen fudhatee taʼu. Akkuma tasaa utuu hin beekaminis,
6 From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise, hurricane and storm and flame of fire devouring;
Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, bakakkaadhaan, sochii lafaatii fi waca guddaadhaan, bubbeedhaan, bubbee hamaa fi arraba ibidda waa fixuutiin ni dhufa.
7 And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel, —Even with all who have been making war against her and her stronghold and who have been laying siege to her;
Ergasii tuunni saboota hundaa kan Ariiʼeeliin lolu, kan ishee fi daʼoo ishee jajjaboo dhaʼee marsee qabu, akkuma abjuu, akkuma mulʼata halkan keessaa taʼa;
8 Yea it shall be As when the hungry man dreameth and lo! he is eating, But he awaketh, and his soul, is empty, Or as when the thirsty man dreameth and lo! he is drinking, But he awaketh and lo! he is faint and his soul, is craving, So, shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that have come forth to war against Mount Zion.
kunis akkuma namni beelaʼe tokko akka waa nyaachaa jiru abjuudhaan argee yeroo dammaqutti garuu amma illee beela qabu sana, yookaan akkuma namni dheebote tokko akka waa dhugaa jiru abjuudhaan argee yeroo dammaqutti garuu amma illee dheebuudhaan gaggabu sana taʼa. Tuuta saboota hundaa kan Tulluu Xiyoon lolu irrattis akkasuma taʼa.
9 Stand ye stock still and stare, Besmear your eyes and be blind, —They are drunken but not with wine, They reel, but not with strong drink;
Rifadhaa; dinqisiifadhaas; of jaamsaatii nama waa hin argine taʼaa; machaaʼaa; garuu daadhii wayiniitiin hin taʼin; gatantaraa; garuu dhugaatii jabaadhaan hin taʼin.
10 For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyes—the prophets, —And, your heads—the seers, hath he covered,
Waaqayyo hirriba cimaa isinitti buuseera; ija keessan raajota, cufeera; mataa keessan ilaaltootas, haguugeera.
11 And so all vision hath become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, Which is delivered unto one acquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed;
Mulʼanni kun hundi isiniif dubbii kitaaba maramaa irratti chaappeffame malee homaa miti. Yoo isin kitaaba kana nama dubbisuu dandaʼu tokkotti kennitanii, “Maaloo mee waan kana dubbisi” jettaniin inni, “Sababii kitaabichi chaappeffameef ani dubbisuu hin dandaʼu” jedhee deebisa.
12 And then the writing is delivered to one unacquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith I am not acquainted with writing.
Yookaan yoo isin kitaaba maramaa kana nama dubbisuu hin dandeenye tokkotti kennitanii, “Maaloo mee waan kana dubbisi” jettaniin inni, “Ani akkamitti akkan dubbisu hin beeku” jedhee deebisa.
13 Wherefore My Lord hath said, —Because this people, hath drawn near with their mouth, And with their lips, have honoured me, But their heart, have they moved far from me, And so their reverence of me hath become A commandment of men in which they have been schooled,
Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Uummanni kun afaan isaatiin natti dhiʼaata; hidhii isaatiinis na kabaja; garaan isaa garuu narraa fagoo jira. Waaqeffannaan isaan na waaqeffatanis seera namni barsiisu qofaan tolfame.
14 Therefore, behold me! again dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing, —So shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!
Kanaafuu ani amma illee dinqii irratti dinqii dabalee uummata kana nan dinqisiisa; ogummaan nama ogeessaa ni bada; hubannaan hubattootaas ni dhokata.”
15 Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh by giving secret counsel, —and therefore in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said Who can see us? and—Who can understand us?
Warra karoora isaanii Waaqayyo duraa dhokfachuuf jedhanii qileetti gad buʼaniif, warra hojii isaanii dukkana keessatti hojjetanii, “Eenyutu nu arga? Eenyutu beeka?” jedhanii yaadaniif wayyoo!
16 Your perverseness! As if like clay, the potter could be reckoned; For shall, the thing made say of him that made it, he made me not? Or hath the thing fashioned ever said of him that fashioned it, He hath no understanding.
Kun jalʼina keessan, suphee dhooftuu akka supheetti ilaaltu! Wanni tolchame tokko nama isa tolcheen “Inni na hin tolchine” jedhaa? Okkoteen tokko suphee dhooftuudhaan, “Inni homaa hin beeku” jechuu dandaʼaa?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be turned, into garden land, —And garden land, for a forest, be reckoned?
Libaanoon yeroo gabaabaa keessatti lafa qotiisaa gabbatte hin taatuu? Lafti qonnaa gabbataan sunis bosona hin fakkaattuu?
18 Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear the words of a book, —And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
Gaafas duudaan dubbii kitaaba maramaa ni dhagaʼa; iji nama jaamaa dimimmisaa fi dukkana keessatti ni arga.
19 And again shall the humbled in Yahweh, have joy, —And the needy of mankind in the Holy One of Israel, exult;
Namni gad of qabu ammas Waaqayyotti ni gammada; rakkattoonnis Qulqullicha Israaʼel sanaan ni gammadu.
20 For the tyrant, hath vanished, And the scoffer, is no more, Yea cut off are all who watch for iniquity: —
Gara jabeeyyiin ni badu; warri namatti qoosan ni barbadaaʼu; warri hammina hojjechuu jaallatan hundinuu ni balleeffamu;
21 Who bring a man into condemnation with a rumour, And for him that decideth in the gate, lay a snare, —And have driven away, for a thing of nought, one who was righteous.
warri dubbiin yakkamaa nama godhan, warri namicha mana murtiitti namaaf falmu dura kiyyoo kaaʼanii sobaan dhugaa baʼuudhaan murtii qajeelaa nama yakka hin qabnee jalʼisan ni balleeffamu.
22 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the house of Jacob, [even he saith it] who redeemed Abraham, —Not now, shall, Jacob turn pale, And, not now, shall their faces whiten;
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo inni Abrahaamin fure sun mana Yaaqoobiin akkana jedha: “Yaaqoob siʼachi deebiʼee hin qaanaʼu; fuulli isaas siʼachi hin dukkanaaʼu.
23 For, when he seeth his children the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name, —Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.
Isaan yeroo gidduu isaaniitti ijoollee isaanii hojii harka kootii sana arganitti, maqaa koo ni qulqulleessu; isaan qulqullummaa Qulqullicha Yaaqoob ni beeku; Waaqa Israaʼelis sodaachuudhaan ni jiraatu.
24 Then will they who erred in spirit comprehend, And the murmurers, accept instruction.
Warri dogoggoran hubannaa ni argatu; warri guungumanis qajeelfama ni fudhatu.”
