Ezekiel 16
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 “Son of man, inform Jerusalem about her abominations,
“Yaa ilma namaa, hojii ishee jibbisiisaa sana Yerusaalemitti himi;
3 and declare, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to Jerusalem: Your beginning and your birth took place in the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
akkanas jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan Yerusaalemiin akkana jedha: Sanyii fi dhaloonni kee biyya Kanaʼaanotaa ti; abbaan kee nama Amoor; haati kee immoo nama Heet.
4 On the day of your birth, your mother did not cut your navel, nor did she purify you in water or rub you down with salt, or wrap cloth around you.
Ati gaafa dhalatte hin handhuuramne yookaan akka qulqullooftuuf bishaaniin hin dhiqamne yookaan soogiddaan hin sukkuumamne yookaan huccuudhaan hin maramne.
5 No eye had compassion for you to do any of these things for you, to be compassionate toward you. On the day that you were born, with loathing for your life, you were thrown out into the open field.
Namni tokko iyyuu ija gara laafinaatiin si hin ilaalle yookaan wantoota kanneen siif gochuuf garaa siif hin laafne. Qooda kanaa ati dirreetti gatamte; ati gaafa dhalatte tuffatamtee turteetii.
6 But I passed by you, and I saw you writhing in your own blood; so I said to you in your blood, “Live!” I said to you in your blood, “Live!”
“‘Anis utuun achiin darbuu siʼii dhiiga kee keessa ciiftee dhidhiitattu sin arge; utuma ati achi dhiiga kee keessa ciiftuu ani, “Jiraadhu!” siinan jedhe.
7 I made you grow like a plant in a field. You multiplied and became great, and you became the jewel of jewels. Your breasts became firm, and your hair grew thick, though you had been naked and bare.
Akkuma biqiltuu dirreettis sin guddise. Atis guddattee jabaattee lula akka malee miidhagu taate. Ati qullaa fi harka duwwaa turte, guntuta baaftee rifeensi kees guddate.
8 I passed by you again, and I saw you. See! the time of love came for you, so I spread my robe over you and covered your nakedness. Then I swore to you and brought you into a covenant—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and you became mine.
“‘Ani yeroon deebiʼee achiin darbutti si ilaaleen akka ati jaalalaaf geesse sin arge; handaara wayyaa kootiis sirra buuseen qullummaa kee haguuge. Siif kakadhees si wajjin waadaa nan gale, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; atis kan koo taate.
9 So I washed you with water and rinsed your blood off you, and I anointed you with oil.
“‘Ergasii ani bishaaniin si dhiqee dhiiga sirraa miicee zayitii si dibe.
10 I dressed you in embroidered clothes and placed leather sandals on your feet. I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
Ani uffata faayeffame sitti uffisee kophee gogaa irraa hojjetame illee sitti nan kaaʼe. Wayyaa miidhagaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame sitti uffisee uffata gatii guddaa immoo sirra buuse.
11 Next I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain around your neck.
Ani faayaan si miidhagseera jechuunis irree keetti bitawoo, morma keetti immoo amartii siif godheera;
12 I put a nose ring in your nostrils and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
ani funyaan keetti qubeelaa, gurra keetti amartii, mataa keetti immoo gonfoo miidhagaa kaaʼeera.
13 So you were adorned with gold and silver, and you were dressed in fine linen, silk, and embroidered clothes; you ate fine flour, honey, and oil, and you were very beautiful, and you became a queen.
Atis akkasiin warqee fi meetiidhaan miidhagfamte; uffanni kees quncee talbaatii fi haarriidhaan faayeffamee hojjetamee ture; nyaanni kee daakuu bullaaʼaa, dammaa fi zayitii ejersaa ture. Ati akka malee bareeddee mootittii taʼuuf kaate.
14 Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect in the majesty that I had given to you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Waaʼee bareedina keetiitiifis maqaan kee saboota gidduu tamsaʼe; surraan ani siif kenne bareedina kee kan hanqina hin qabne godheeraatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
15 But you trusted in your own beauty, and you acted like a prostitute because of your fame; you poured out your acts of prostitution on everyone who passed by, so that your beauty became his.
“‘Ati garuu miidhagina kee amanattee maqaa kee sagaagalummaadhaaf itti fayyadamte. Kara deemaa kam iyyuu wajjin sagaagaltee miidhagina kees kenniteef.
16 Then you took your clothes and with them you made high places for yourself decorated in various colors, and there you acted like a prostitute. This should not have happened. Nor should such a thing exist.
Uffata kee keessaas tokko tokko fuutee iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen itti sagaagaltu sana ittiin miidhagsite. Wanni akkasii takkumaa taʼee hin beeku; fuuldurattis hin taʼu.
17 You took the fine jewels of the gold and silver that I gave you, and you made for yourself male figures, and you did with them as a prostitute would do.
Faayawwan miidhagoo ani siif kenne kan warqee fi meetii koo irraa hojjetaman fudhattee korommii waaqota tolfamoo ofii keetiif hojjetattee isaan wajjin sagaagalte.
18 You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set my oils and perfumes before them.
Uffata kee kan faayeffamee hojjetames isaanitti uffistee, zayitii fi ixaana koos fuula isaanii duratti dhiʼeessite.
19 My bread I gave you—made with fine flour, oil, and honey—you set before them for a fragrant aroma, for this is what happened—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Nyaata ani siif kenne jechuunis daakuu bullaaʼaa, zayitii ejersaatii fi damma ani akka ati nyaattuuf siif kenne sana akka ixaana urgaa gaarii qabuutti fuula isaanii duratti dhiʼeessite. Wanni akkasii taʼeera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
20 Then you took your sons and daughters whom you bore for me, and you sacrificed them to the images to be devoured as food. Are your acts of prostitution a small matter?
“‘Ati ilmaanii fi intallan kee kanneen naaf deesse fuutee akka isaan nyaata waaqota tolfamoo taʼaniif aarsaa gootee dhiʼeessite. Sagaagalummaan kee hin gaʼu turee?
21 You slaughtered my children to the idols and made them pass through the fire.
Ati ijoollee koo qaltee waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa goote.
22 In all your abominations and your acts of prostitution you have not thought about the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare as you thrashed about in your blood.
Ati hojii kee jibbisiisaa fi sagaagalummaa hojjete hundaan baroota ijoollummaa keetii, yeroo qullaa fi miilla duwwaa, yeroo dhiiga kee keessa gangalachaa turte sana hin yaadanne.
23 Woe! Woe to you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—therefore, in addition to all this wickedness,
“‘Wayyoo! Siif wayyoo, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Jalʼina kee kaan hunda irratti immoo,
24 you built yourself a vaulted chamber in every public place.
ofii keetiif waltajjii qopheeffatte; oobdiiwwan uummataa hundatti galma waaqeffannaa ol dheeraa hojjette.
25 You built your high place at the head of every road and made your beauty a disgrace, and you spread your legs to anyone who passed by, and you multiplied your acts of prostitution.
Fiixee daandii hundaatti gaarran sagadaa kee ol dhedheeroo ijaarratte; nama achiin darbu hundaaf dhagna kee dhiʼeessitee sagaagalummaa kee baayʼisuudhaan miidhagina kee busheessite.
26 You have acted like a prostitute with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and you committed many more acts of prostitution, provoking me to anger.
Ati warra Gibxi, olloota kee kanneen dhagna guddaa qaban wajjin sagaagaltee sagaagalummaa kee kan hamma hin qabne sanaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaafte.
27 See! I will strike you with my hand and cut off your food. I will hand your life over to your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your obscene behavior.
Kanaafuu ani harka koo sitti kaasee qooda kee sirraa nan hirʼise; ani intallan Filisxeemotaa warra diinota kee taʼan kanneen amala sagaagalummaa kee saalfatanitti dabarsee si kenneera.
28 You have acted like a prostitute with the Assyrians because you could not be satisfied. You acted like a prostitute and still were not satisfied.
Ati sababii dharraa hin baʼiniif warra Asoor wajjinis akkasuma sagaagalte; ati amma illee dharraa hin baane.
29 You performed many more acts of prostitution in the land of the merchants of Chaldea, and even this did not satisfy you.
Ergasiis itti fuftee daldaltoota biyya Baabilon wajjin sagaagalte; garuu kanaan iyyuu dharraa hin baane.
30 How sick is your heart—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—that you would do all these things, deeds of a shameless prostitute?
“‘Ati akka sagaagaltuu hin saalfanne tokkootti waan kana hunda gochuun kee yaada dadhabaa akkamii qabaatteeti! jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
31 You have built your high places at the head of every street and made your vaulted chamber in every public place. Yet you were not like a prostitute because you refused to take payment.
Ati yeroo fiixee daandii hundaatti waltajjii tolfattee oobdii uummataa hunda irratti iddoowwan sagadaa keetii ol dhedheeroo ijaarrattetti, ati sababii gatii hin baasisiniif akka sagaagaltuu tokkoo hin turre.
32 You adulterous woman, you accept strangers instead of your husband.
“‘Yaa niitii sagaagaltuu nana! Ati qooda dhirsa keetii kara deemaa filatta!
33 People give payment to every prostitute, but you give your wages to all your lovers and bribe them to come to you from all around for your acts of prostitution.
Sagaagaltuun kam iyyuu gatii fudhatti; ati garuu michoota kee hundaaf kennaa kennita; akka isaan iddoo kamii iyyuu gara kee dhufanii si wajjin sagaagalaniif jettee mattaʼaa kennitaaf.
34 So there is a difference between you and those other women, since no one goes to you to ask you to sleep with them. Instead, you pay them. No one pays you.
Kanaafuu sagaagalummaan kee kan warra kaaniitiin adda; namni kam iyyuu si argachuuf si faana hin buʼu. Ati gatii kennita malee waan gatiin siif hin kennamneef ati kan addaa ti.
35 Therefore, you prostitute, listen to the word of Yahweh.
“‘Kanaafuu yaa sagaagaltuu nana, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi!
36 The Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have poured out your lust and uncovered your nakedness through your acts of prostitution with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood,
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii ati qabeenya kee dhangalaaftee michoota kee wajjin sagaagalummaa baayʼisuudhaan qullaa kee dhaabatteef, sababii waaqota kee jibbisiisoo hundaatii fi sababii dhiiga ijoollee keetii isaaniif kenniteef,
37 therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers that you have met, all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated, and I will gather them against you on every side. I will uncover your nakedness to them so they see all your nakedness.
ani michoota kee kanneen ati isaan wajjin bashannante jechuunis warra ati jaallattus warra ati jibbitus walitti nan qaba. Ani iddoo hundaatii isaaniin sitti waamee fuula isaanii duratti qullaa sin dhaaba; isaanis qullaa kee hunda ni argu.
38 For I will punish you for adultery and the shedding of blood, and I will bring on you the bloodshed of my anger and passion.
Ani adabbii dubartoota sagaagalaniitii fi dhiiga namaa dhangalaasaniif malu sitti nan murteessa; dheekkamsa koo fi hinaaffaa kootiinis dhiiga kee nan dhangalaasa.
39 I will give you into their hands so they will throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your high places and they will strip you of your clothes and take all of your jewelry. They will leave you naked and bare.
Ergasii ani harka michoota keetiitti dabarsee sin kenna; isaanis waltajjii kee ni diigu; iddoowwan sagadaa keetii ol dhedheeroos ni barbadeessu. Isaan wayyaa kee sirraa baasanii faaya kee miidhagaa sana illee sirraa fudhatu; qullaa keetii fi harka duwwaas si hambisu.
40 Then they will bring up a crowd against you and stone you with stones, and they will cut you apart with their swords.
Isaan jeeqxota sitti kakaasu; jarris dhagaadhaan si tuman; goraadeedhaanis si kukkutu.
41 They will burn your houses and will perform many acts of punishment on you in the sight of many women, for I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers.
Isaan manneen keessan ni gubu; fuula dubartoota hedduu durattis isin adaban. Ani sagaagaltummaa kee sin dhiisisa; siʼachis michoota keetiif gatii hin kaffaltu.
42 Then I will calm my fury against you; my anger will leave you, for I will be satisfied, and will no longer be angry.
Yoos dheekkamsi koo sirraa qabbanaaʼa; hinaaffaan koos sirraa ni deebiʼa; ani nan calʼisa; siʼachis hin aaru.
43 Because you did not call to mind the days of your youth and have made me shake with anger because of all these things, therefore, behold! I myself will bring down on your own head the punishment for what you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Have you not added prostitution to all your other detestable practices?
“‘Sababii ati bara ijoollummaa keetii yaadachuu dhiiftee wantoota kanneen hundaan na aarsiteef, ani dhugumaan waan ati hojjette matuma keetti nan deebisa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Ati hojii kee jibbisiisaa kaan hunda irratti wal bira gaʼuu haala hamaadhaan hojjetamu dabalatteerta mitii?
44 Behold! Everyone who speaks proverbs concerning you will say, “As the mother is, so also is her daughter.”
“‘Namni mammaaksa mammaaku kam iyyuu, “Intalli akkuma haadhaa ti” jedhee waaʼee kee mammaaksa kana mammaaka.
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her children, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was an Amorite.
Ati intala haadha kee kan dhirsaa fi ijoollee ishee balfite sanaa ti; ati obboleettii obboleettota kee kanneen dhirsoota isaaniitii fi ijoollee isaanii balfan sanaa ti. Haati kee nama Heeti, abbaan kee immoo nama Amoor turan.
46 Your older sister was Samaria and her daughters were the ones living in the north, while your younger sister was the one living south of you, that is, Sodom and her daughters.
Obboleettiin kee hangafni Samaariyaa ishee intallan ishee wajjin siin gama kaabaa jiraattu sanaa ti; obboleettiin kee quxisuun Sodoom ishee intallan ishee wajjin siin gama kibbaa jiraattuu ti.
47 You not only walked in their ways and copied their behavior and practices, but in all your ways you have been worse than they were.
Ati karaa isaanii duukaa buutee hojiiwwan isaanii jibbisiisoo sana hojjechuu qofa utuu hin taʼin karaa kee hundumaan daftee isaan caalaa amala badde.
48 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—your sister Sodom and her daughters, have not done as much evil as you and your daughters have done.
Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; obboleettiin kee Sodoomii fi intallan ishee iyyuu takkumaa waan atii fi intallan kee hojjettan kana hin hojjenne.
49 Behold! This was the sin of your sister Sodom that she was arrogant in her leisure, careless and unconcerned about anything. She did not strengthen the hands of the poor and needy people.
“‘Egaa cubbuun obboleettii kee Sodoom kana ture: Ishee fi intallan ishee of tuultotaa fi quufoo turan; yaada malees jiraatan; isaan hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota hin gargaarre.
50 She was arrogant and committed disgusting actions before me, so I took them away just as you have seen.
Isaan of tuultota turan; fuula koo duratti waan jibbisiisaa hojjetan. Kanaafuu ani akkuma isin argitan sana isaan nan balleesse.
51 Neither did Samaria commit even half of your sins; instead, you have done many more disgusting things than they did, and you have shown that your sisters were better than you because of all the disgusting things that you do!
Samaariyaan cubbuu ati hojjette sana walakkaa isaa illee hin hojjenne. Ati isaan caalaa waan jibbisiisaa hojjettee waanuma hojjette kana hundaan obboleettota kee qajeeltota fakkeessite.
52 Especially you, show your own shame; in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you, because of the sins you committed in all those disgusting ways. Your sisters now seem better than you. Especially you, show your own shame, for in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you.
Ati waan obboleettota keetiif falmii qopheessiteef qaanii kee baadhadhu. Sababii cubbuun kee cubbuu isaanii caalaa hamaa taʼeef isaan si caalaa qajeeltota fakkaatu. Kanaafuu qaanaʼiitii salphina kee baadhadhu; ati akka obboleettonni kee qajeeltota fakkaatan gooteertaatii.
53 For I will restore their fortunes—the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters; but your fortunes will be among them.
“‘Taʼus ani hambaa Sodoomii fi kan intallan ishee, kan Samaariyaatii fi kan intallan ishee, kan kees kan isaanii wajjin nan deebisa;
54 On account of these things you will show your shame; you will be humiliated because of everything that you have done, and in this way you will be a comfort to them.
kunis akka ati salphina kee baadhattee waan isaan jajjabeessuuf hojjette sana hundaan qaanoftuuf.
55 So your sister Sodom and her daughters will be restored to their former condition, and Samaria and her daughters will be restored to their former estate. Then you and your daughters will be restored to your former condition.
Obboleettonni kee Sodoomii fi intallan ishee, Samaariyaa fi intallan ishee akkuma duraan turanitti ni deebiʼu; atii fi intallan kees akkuma duraan turtanitti ni deebitu.
56 Sodom your sister was not even mentioned by your mouth in the days when you were proud,
Ati bara of tuulaa turte sana keessa obboleettii kee Sodoomiin maqaa iyyuu hin dhoofne;
57 before your wickedness was revealed. But now you are an object of scorn to the daughters of Edom and to all the daughters of the Philistines around her. People all about despise you.
kunis utuu hamminni kee ifatti hin baʼin ture. Taʼus ati amma intallan Edoomiin, olloota ishee hundaa fi intallan Filisxeemotaa jechuunis warra naannoo kee jiraatan kanneen si tuffatan hundaan ni balfamta.
58 You will show your shame and your disgusting actions!—this is Yahweh's declaration!
Ati gatii wal bira gaʼuu haala hamaadhaan hojjetteetii fi kan hojii kee jibbisiisaa sanaa ni argatta, jedha Waaqayyo.
59 The Lord Yahweh says this: I will deal with you as you deserve, you who have despised your oath by breaking the covenant.
“‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii ati kakuu cabsuudhaan walii galtee koo tuffatteef, ani akkuma siif malutti sin adaba.
60 But I myself will call to mind my covenant with you made in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
Taʼus ani kakuun yeroo ijoollummaa keetiitti si wajjin gale sana nan yaadadha; kakuu bara baraan hin diigamnes si wajjin nan gala.
61 Then you will call to mind your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older sisters and your younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.
Ati gaafas yeroo obboleettota kee hangafaa fi quxisuu simattutti, karaa kee yaadattee ni qaanofta. Ani intallan taasisee isaan siifan kenna; garuu kun akka kakuu ani si wajjin gale sanaa miti.
62 I myself will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
Ani si wajjin kakuu nan gala; atis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta.
63 Because of these things, you will call everything to mind and be ashamed, so you will no longer open your mouth to speak because of your shame, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
Yeroo ani waan ati hojjette hunda siif dhiisutti, ati sababii salphina keetiitiif yaadattee ni qaanofta; lammatas afaan hin saaqattu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
