Isaiah 34
1 You people of all nations, come near and listen and pay careful attention. I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
Yaa saboota, isin as dhiʼaadhaatii dhaggeeffadhaa; yaa namoota, isinis qalbeeffadhaa! Lafti haa dhageessu; kan ishee keessa jiraatu hundis, addunyaa fi wanni ishee keessaa baʼu hundinuu haa dhagaʼan!
2 Yahweh is angry with [the people of] all nations; he is (furious/very angry) with all their armies. He has decided that they must be destroyed, and he will slaughter them.
Waaqayyo saboota hundatti aareera; dheekkamsi isaa loltoota isaanii hunda irra buʼeera. Inni guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessa; inni akka qalamaniif dabarsee isaan kenna.
3 Their corpses will not be buried, and [as a result] their corpses will stink, and their blood will [fill the streams that] flow down the mountains.
Isaan keessaa warri duʼan alatti gad darbataman; reeffi isaanii ni ajaaʼa; tulluuwwan dhiiga isaaniitiin tortoru.
4 The sky will disappear like [SIM] a scroll that is rolled up [and thrown away]. Stars will fall [from the sky] like [SIM] [withered] leaves fall from grapevines, [or] like [SIM] shriveled figs fall from fig trees.
Raayyaawwan samii hundinuu ni baqu; samiinis akkuma kitaaba maramaa ni marmarama; raayyaan urjiiwwanii hundinuu akkuma baala wayinii coollagee, akkuma harbuu muka harbuu irraa harcaʼuutti harcaʼu.
5 When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky, he will punish [the people of] Edom, that people-group that he has said must be destroyed/exterminated.
Goraadeen koo samii keessatti hamma quufutti dhugeera; kunoo inni Edoomitti muruuf, gara saba ani guutumaan guutuutti barbadeesseetti gad buʼeera.
6 [It is as though] Yahweh has a sword that is covered with blood and fat— the blood of lambs and goats and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed. [It is as though] Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in [the city of] Bozrah [and kill many people] in other cities in Edom.
Goraadeen Waaqayyoo dhiiga keessa cuuphameera; inni coomaan, dhiiga xobbaallaawwan hoolaatii fi reʼootaatiin, moora kalee korbeeyyii hoolaatiin haguugameera. Waaqayyo Bozraa keessatti aarsaa, Edoom keessatti immoo qalma guddaa qopheesseeraatii.
7 [Even] wild oxen will be killed, as well as young calves and big bulls. The ground will be soaked with blood, and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.
Gafarsi isaan wajjin, jiboonnis korommii gurguddaa wajjin dhumu. Lafti isaanii dhiigaan jiiti; biyyoon isaaniis moora quufa.
8 That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge for what those people did to the people of Judah.
Waaqayyo guyyaa itti haaloo baʼu, waggaa itti waaʼee Xiyoon falmu qabaatii.
9 The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch/tar, and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur.
Burqaawwan Edoom leeleetti, biyyoon ishees dinyii bobaʼutti geeddarama; lafti ishee immoo leelee bobaʼu taʼa!
10 Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire; the smoke will rise forever. No one will ever live in that land, and no one will [even] travel through it.
Inni halkan yookaan guyyaa hin dhaamu; aarri isaas bara baraan ol baʼa. Lafti sun dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti ontee hafti; namni tokko iyyuu deebiʼee ishee keessaan hin darbu.
11 Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there. Yahweh will measure that land carefully: He will measure it to [to decide where] to cause chaos and destruction.
Cululleen gammoojjiitii fi dhaddeen lafa sana ni fudhatu; urunguu fi arraagessi mana isaanii achitti ijaarratu. Waaqni Edoom irra, funyoo jeequmsaatii fi madaalii badiisaa ni diriirsa.
12 There will be no princes; the people who have authority will have no kingdom to rule.
Gurguddoonni ishee waan mootummaa jedhamee waamamu achii hin qabaatan; ilmaan mootota ishee hundi ni badu.
13 The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles. The ruins will be a place for jackals/wolves and owls to live.
Masaraa ishee qoraattii, daʼannoo ishee doobbii fi sokorruutu dhaala. Isheen boolla waangoo, iddoo urunguun jiraattu ni taati.
14 Animals that live in the desert and hyenas/wolves will be there, and wild goats will bleat/call to each other. There will also be creatures/animals that [roam around] at night.
Uumamawwan gammoojjii waraabessa wajjin wal gaʼu; hafuuronni hamoo reʼee diidaa fakkaatan wal waamu; uumamawwan halkanii achi boqotan; ofii isaaniitiifis iddoo aara galfannaa argatu.
15 Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests; and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them [with their wings]. There will also be falcons/hawks there, each with its mate.
Urunguun achitti manʼee ijaarrattee hanqaaquu hanqaaqxi; cuucii yaaftees qoochoo jalatti kunuunfatti; allaattiinis dhirsaa fi niitii taatee achitti walitti qabamti.
16 If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do [in Edom]. All of those animals and birds will be there, and each one will have a mate, because that is what Yahweh has promised, and his Spirit will cause them [all] to gather [there].
Kitaaba Waaqayyoo keessaa ilaalaatii kan akkana jedhu dubbifadhaa: Isaan kanneen keessaa tokko iyyuu hin dhabamu; tokkittiin iyyuu dhirsa ishee hin dhabdu. Afaan Waaqaa ajajeeraatii; Hafuurri isaas walitti isaan qaba.
17 He has decided what parts of the land [of Edom] each will live in, and those are the places where each bird or animal will live. Their descendants will possess those areas forever, throughout all generations.
Isatu qooda isaanii hiraaf; harki isaa safartuudhaan isaaniif qooda. Isaan bara baraan qooda kana ni qabaatu; dhalootaa hamma dhalootaattis achi jiraatu.
