Isaiah 18
1 Woe to the land of the rustling of wings, which is along the rivers of Cush;
Biyya lageen Itoophiyaatiin gamaa kan qoochoo isheetiin shaakkiftuuf wayyoo;
2 who send ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters. Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide.
isheen galaana irra, bidiruu dhallaadduutiin ergamoota bishaan irra ergiti. Yaa ergamoota ariifattoota, gara saba dhedheeroo kanneen gogaan isaanii lallaafuu, gara saba fagoo fi dhiʼoottis sodaatamuu, saba jabaa fi afaan isaa hin beekamne kan biyyi isaanii lageeniin gargar qoodamte sanaa dhaqaa.
3 All you inhabitants of the world and you who live on the earth, when a signal is lifted up on the mountains, look; and when the trumpet is blown, listen.
Isin uummanni addunyaa hundi, warri lafa irra jiraattan yeroo mallattoon gaara irratti ol qabamu ni argitu; yeroo malakanni afuufamus inuma dhageessu.
4 This is what Yahweh said to me, “I will quietly observe from my home, like the simmering heat in sunshine, like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest.
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Ani akkuma hoʼa ifa aduu keessatti calaqqisuu, akkuma duumessa fixeensaa kan hoʼa yeroo midhaan galchaniitti calʼisee iddoo jireenya kootii nan ilaala.”
5 Before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower is ripening into a grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
Haamaa midhaaniitiin dura, yeroo hudhaan daraaree daraaraan sunis ija wayinii bilchaatee taʼutti inni billaa ittiin qoraniin lataa isaa ni ciccira; damee babalʼates irraa murmuree ni balleessa.
6 They will be left together for the birds of the mountains and for the animals of the earth. The birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.”
Isaan hundinuu allaattii tulluu kan waa adamsuu fi bineensota bosonaatiif dhiifamu; allaattiin bona guutuu, bineensonni bosonaas ganna guutuu isaan nyaatu.
7 At that time tribute will be brought to Yahweh of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, to Mount Zion.
Gaafas saba dhedheeroo kanneen gogaan isaanii lallaafu irraa, saba fagoo fi dhiʼoottis sodaatamu irraa, saba jabaa fi afaan isaa hin beekamne kan biyyi isaanii lageeniin gargar qoodamte irraa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf kennaan ni fidama; kennaan sunis gara Tulluu Xiyoon, iddoo Maqaan Waaqayyo Waan hunda dandaʼu jiraatutti ni fidama.
