Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the proud garland crown that is worn by each of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, the garland that is set on the head of the lush Valley of those who are overcome with wine!
Gonfoo of tuulummaa kan machooftota Efreem sanaaf, daraaraa coollagu kan ulfina miidhagina isaaniitiif, kan mataa sulula gabbataa irra jiruuf, magaalaa warra daadhii wayiniitiin fudhataman sanaatiif wayyoo!
2 Behold, the Lord sends one who is mighty and strong; like a storm of hail and a destructive windstorm, like a driving rain and overflowing waters; and he will throw each garland crown down to the ground.
Kunoo, Gooftaan isa humna qabeessaa fi jabaa tokko qaba. Inni akkuma cabbiitii fi bubbee waa balleessuu, akkuma bokkaa jabaatii fi bishaan guutee irra dhangalaʼuu, humnaan lafatti gad ishee darbata.
3 The proud garland of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden underfoot.
Gonfoon of tuulummaa, machooftonni Efreem miilla jalatti dhidhiitamu.
4 The fading flower of his glorious beauty, that is on the head of the rich valley, will be as the first ripe fig before the summer, that, when someone sees it, while it is yet in his hand, he gulps it down.
Daraaraan harcaʼu, miidhaginni isaa kabajamaan, kan mataa sulula gabbataa irra jiru sun, akkuma muka harbuu utuu bonni hin gaʼin bilchaatu sanaa taʼa; namni isa argu hundi akkuma isa harka keessa galfateen isa nyaatee fixa.
5 In that day Yahweh of hosts will become a beautiful crown and a diadem of beauty for the remainder of his people,
Bara sana Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hambaa saba isaatiif, gonfoo ulfinaa, miʼa miidhaginaa ni taʼa.
6 a spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment, and strength for those who turn back their enemies at their gates.
Inni nama murtii kennuuf taaʼuuf hafuura murtii qajeelaa taʼa; warra karra irraa waraana deebisaniif immoo madda jabinaa taʼa.
7 But even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, and they are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink, staggering in vision and reeling in decision.
Jarri kuni daadhii wayiniitiin gatantaru; dhugaatii jabaadhaan dogoggoru; luboonnii fi raajonni dhugaatii jabaadhaan gatantaru; daadhii wayiniitiin fudhatamu; isaan dhugaatii jabaadhaan karaa irraa badu; yeroo mulʼata arganittis ni dogoggoru; yeroo murtii kennanittis ni dogoggoru.
8 Truly, all tables are covered with vomit, so that there is no clean place.
Maaddiin hundinuu diddigaan guutameera; iddoon hin xureeffamin tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
9 To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? To those who are weaned from milk or to those just taken from the breasts?
“Namni inni waa barsiisuu yaalu kun eenyu? Inni eenyuuf ergaa isaa ibsaa jira? Ijoollee aannan dhiifteef moo ijoollee harma guuteef?
10 For it is command upon command, command upon command; rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little.
Ajaja irratti ajaja; ajaja irratti ajaja; sirna irratti sirna; sirna irratti sirna; asitti muraasa; achitti muraasa” taʼaatii.
11 Indeed, with mocking lips and a foreign tongue he will speak to this people.
Yoos Waaqni afaan alagootaatiin, afaan hin beekamneenis saba kanatti ni dubbata;
12 In the past he said to them “This is the rest, give rest to him who is weary; and this is the refreshing,” but they would not listen.
inni akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Kun iddoo boqonnaa ti; warri dadhaban haa boqotan; kun iddoo aara galfannaa ti.” Isaan garuu dhagaʼuu didan.
13 So the word of Yahweh will be to them command upon command, command upon command; rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little; so that they may go and fall backward, and be broken, ensnared, and captured.
Yoo akkasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana isaanitti taʼa; ajaja irratti ajaja; ajaja irratti ajaja; sirna irratti sirna; sirna irratti sirna; asitti muraasa; achitti muraasa; kunis akka isaan dhaqanii dugda duubatti kufanii fi akka isaan caccabanii kiyyoodhaan qabamaniif.
14 So listen to the word of Yahweh, you who mock, you who rule over this people who are in Jerusalem.
Kanaafuu isin qoostonni warri uummata Yerusaalem bulchitan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
15 This will happen because you said, “We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have reached an agreement. So when the overwhelming whip passes through, it will not reach us. For we have made a lie our refuge, and taken shelter in falsehood.” (Sheol h7585)
Isin akkana jettanii of tuultu; “Nu duʼa wajjin kakuu galleerra; siiʼool wajjinis walii galtee gooneerra. Sababii nu soba daʼoo godhannee, sobas iddoo itti dhokannu godhanneef, balaan hamaan yeroo dhufee lafa balleessutti nu tuquu hin dandaʼu.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “See, I will lay in Zion a foundation stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. He who believes will not be ashamed.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Kunoo ani dhagaa tokko, dhagaa qoratame, dhagaa golee gati jabeessa tokko hundee mirkanaaʼaadhaaf Xiyoon keessa nan kaaʼa; namni amanu kam iyyuu hin qaanaʼu.
17 I will make justice the measuring stick, and righteousness the plumbline. Hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.
Ani murtii qajeelaa funyoo ittiin safaran, qajeelummaa immoo madaalii nan godhadha; soba isin daʼoo godhattan sana bokkaan jabaan ni balleessa; bishaanis lafa isin itti dhokattan keessa ni lolaʼa.
18 Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the raging flood passes through, you will be overwhelmed by it. (Sheol h7585)
Kakuun isin duʼa wajjin godhattan ni diigama; walii galteen isin siiʼool wajjin godhattanis ni barbadeeffama. Yeroo balaan hamaan dhufee lafa balleessutti isin lafatti gad dhidhiitamtu. (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever it passes through, it will overwhelm you, and morning by morning it will pass through and by day and night it will come. When the message is understood, it will cause terror.
Inni yeroo dhufu hunda isin fudhatee deema; ganama ganama halkanii fi guyyaas, inni waa balleessa.” Ergaa kana hubachuun naasuu guddaa namatti fida.
20 For the bed is too short for a man to stretch out on, and the blanket too narrow for him to wrap himself in.”
Sireen irratti diriirfachuuf baayʼee gabaabaa dha; uffata halkanii ofitti marachuuf baayʼee dhiphaa dha.
21 Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim; he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon to do his work, his strange work, and perform his strange deed.
Waaqayyo hojii isaa, hojii isaa haaraa sana hojjechuuf, gocha isaa, gocha isaa kan hin beekamne sana hojjechuuf, akkuma Tulluu Pheraaziim keessatti godhe sana ni kaʼa; akkuma Sulula Gibeʼoonitti godhe sana ni kaʼa.
22 Now therefore do not mock, or your bonds will be tightened. I have heard from the Lord Yahweh of hosts, a decree of destruction on the earth.
Amma qoosaa keessan dhiisaa; yoo akkas hin taʼin foncaan keessan isinitti jabaata; Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, labsii guutummaa biyyattii balleessuuf labse natti himeera.
23 Pay attention and listen to my voice; be attentive and listen to my words.
Dhaggeeffadhaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼaa; qalbeeffadhaatii waan ani dubbadhu dhagaʼaa.
24 Does a farmer who plows all day to sow, only plow the ground? Does he continually break up and harrow the field?
Qonnaan bulaan tokko yeroo sanyii facaasuuf lafa qotatutti, ittuma fufee qotaa? Inni ittuma fufee biyyoo caccabsee bulleessaa?
25 When he has prepared the ground, does he not scatter caraway seed, sow the cumin, put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the right place, and the spelt at its edges?
Inni yeroo lafa wal qixxeessutti dimbilaalaa fi kamuunii hin facaasuu? Inni qamadii toora tooraan, garbuu iddoo isaa irratti, honboriis lafa qotiisaa isaa irratti hin facaasuu?
26 His God instructs him; he teaches him wisely.
Waaqni isaa isa barsiisa; karaa qajeelaa irras isa buusa.
27 Moreover, the caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cumin; but caraway is beaten with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
Abasuudni gangalchaadhaan hin dhaʼamu; kamuunii irras gommaan gaarii hin oofamu; abasuudni uleedhaan, insilaalli immoo shimalaan dhaʼama.
28 Grain is ground for bread but not too finely, and though the wheels of his cart and his horses scatter it, his horses do not crush it.
Midhaan buddeena tolchuuf daakamuu qaba; kanaafuu namni tokko bara baraan midhaan hin dhaʼu. Inni gommaa gaarii kan midhaan dhaʼu midhaan sana irra oofu iyyuu fardeen isaa midhaanicha hin bulleessan.
29 This too comes from Yahweh of hosts, who is wonderful in instruction and excellent in wisdom.
Wanni kun hundinuu Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, isa mariidhaan dinqisiisaa, ogummaadhaanis guddaa taʼe biraa dhufa.
