< Isaiah 13 >

1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen:
Raajii waaʼee Baabilon kan Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos arge:
2 'On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go in to the openings of nobles.
Tulluu homaa itti hin biqilin irratti faajjii ol kaasaatii isaanitti iyyaa; akka isaan karra namoota bebeekamootiin ol galaniif harkaan itti himaa.
3 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine excellency.'
Ani qulqulloota koo ajajeera; akka isaan dheekkamsa koo hojii irra naa oolchaniif ani loltoota koo kanneen moʼannoo kootti gammadan waammadheera.
4 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, Jehovah of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
Waca tulluuwwan irraa, kan akka tuuta guddaa tokkoo dhaggeeffadhaa! Guungummii mootummootaa kan saboota walitti qabamanii dhaggeeffadhaa! Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu lolaaf jedhee loltoota qopheeffachaa jira!
5 They are coming in from a land afar off, From the end of the heavens, Jehovah and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
Isaan biyya fagoodhaa daarii samiiwwaniitii dhufan; Waaqayyoo fi miʼa lolaa kan dheekkamsa isaatiin guutummaa biyyattii balleessuuf dhufu.
6 Howl ye, for near [is] the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.
Waan guyyaan Waaqayyoo dhiʼaateef booʼaa; guyyaan sun akkuma badiisa Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu biraa ergameetti ni dhufa.
7 Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt.
Kanaafuu harki hundinuu ni laamshaʼa; onneen nama hundaas ni baqa.
8 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames — their faces!
Sodaan isaan qabata; dhukkubbii fi gaddi isaan qabata; akkuma dubartii ciniinsuun qabeetti wixxirfatu. Isaan rifatanii wal ilaalu; fuulli isaanii akka ibiddaa diimata.
9 Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it.
Kunoo guyyaan Waaqayyoo, guyyaan hamaan, dheekkamsaa fi aarii sodaachisaadhaan, lafa onsuu fi cubbamoota ishee keessa jiraatan barbadeessuuf ni dhufa.
10 For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in its going out, And the moon causeth not its light to come forth.
Urjiiwwan samiitii fi tuunni isaanii ifa isaanii hin kennan. Aduun baatu ni dukkanoofti; jiʼis ifa ishee hin kennitu.
11 And I have appointed on the world evil, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make low.
Ani addunyaa kana sababii jalʼina isaatiif, hamoota sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif nan adaba. Ani of tuulummaa of jajjootaa nan balleessa; of guddisuu gara jabeeyyii illee gadin deebisa.
12 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
Ani akka namni warqee qulqulluu caalaa gati qabeessa, warqee Oofiir caalaas muraasa taʼu nan godha.
13 Therefore the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth doth shake from its place, In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of his anger.
Kanaafuu ani akka samiiwwan hollatan nan godha; gaafa aariin isaa bobaʼutti dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuutiin lafti iddoo isheetii ni raafamti.
14 And it hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people — they turn, And each unto his land — they flee.
Namni hundinuu akkuma kuruphee adamsamtuu, akkuma hoolota tiksee hin qabnee gara saba isaatti deebiʼa; namni kam iyyuu biyya isaatti baqata.
15 Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword.
Namni boojiʼame hundinuu ni waraanama; kan qabame kam iyyuu goraadeedhaan duʼa.
16 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with.
Daaʼimman isaanii fuuluma isaanii duratti ni cicciramu; manneen isaanii ni saamamu; niitonni isaaniis humnaan gudeedamu.
17 Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold — they delight not in it.
Kunoo ani warra Meedee kanneen meetii irraa dhimma hin qabne warra warqeen hin gammachiifne jarattin kakaasa.
18 And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.
Iddaan isaanii dargaggoota fixxi; isaan daaʼimmaniif hin naʼan; ijoolleefis garaa hin laafan.
19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
Baabilon ulfinni moototaa, miidhaginni of jaja warra Baabilon akkuma Sodoomii fi Gomoraa irree Waaqaatiin garagalfamti.
20 She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there.
Namni ishee keessa hin qubatu; yookaan dhaloota hunda keessatti namni ishee keessa hin jiraatu; namni Arabaa tokko iyyuu dunkaana isaa achi hin dhaabbatu; tikseen tokko iyyuu bushaayee isaa achi hin boqochiifattu.
21 And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there.
Garuu bineensonni bosonaa achi ciciisu; waangoowwan mana ishee ni guutu; urunguun achi jiraatti; reʼeen diidaa achi keessa buburraaqxi.
22 And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come [is] her time, And her days are not drawn out!
Waraabessi daʼannoowwan ishee keessaa yuusa; waangoonis manneen ishee mimmiidhagoo kan mootummaa keessaa iyyiti. Yeroon ishee gaʼeera; barri ishees hin dheeratu.
