Aizaia 18

1 Kusi timofo kantu kazigama zamageko'nama hunte'nea ne'onse zagaramimo'zama hare'za vanoma nehaza mopafima me'nea kumataminkura nasunku huramantoe.

Tragedy is coming to the land of whirring wings that lies along the rivers of Ethiopia,

2 Hagi Isipi vahe'mo'za barozanteti ventea tro hute'za, Naeli timpi zamatrage'za nanekema eri'za vu vahe'mo'za kea eri'za neaze. Hanki neazage'za amanage hu'za huzmante'naze, zaza hu'za zamavufagamo'ma hentofaza hige'za, mopa'zamifina ranra timo'ma tusiza higeno, ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'zama, vahe'ma zamazeri haviza nehazageno maka mopafi vahe'mo'zama tusi koro hunezmantaza vahetega, ame huta viho hu'za huzmante'naze.

They send messengers downriver in papyrus boats. Swift messengers, go and take a message to a tall and smooth-skinned people, to a people feared by everyone, to a very powerful nation of conquerors, whose land is washed away by rivers.

3 Hagi maka kokankoka mopafima nemaniza vahe'motane, maka zamotanena tamagesa antetma antahiho, agonafima mago avame'zama efore'ma hanigetma kesnagura tamavua keso'e nehutma, ufema resnagura tamagesa anteta manineta antahiho.

All you people of the world, everyone who lives on earth—you will see when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will hear when a trumpet sounds.

4 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Nagra nemanua kuma'nire mani'ne'na akohe'na, feru zagemo akoheno renteaza hu'na zamagegahue. Ana nehu'na ata ko'mo ne'za vasage knazupa hozafi ko runteaza hu'na, akohe'na maninena zmagegahue hu'ne.

For this is what the Lord has told me: I will watch quietly from where I live, quiet as heat haze in sunlight, quiet as a mistcloud in the heat of harvest.

5 Na'ankure ana kumamo'a, waini zafamo knare huno marerino amosre ahenteteno, raga rentegeno raga'amo afurenaku hiaza nehie. Hianagi waini ragamo afu orenefi vahe'mo, azanku'nama nekafria kazinteti azankunatamin'a roneseno ranra azankunatamina kitagi atregahie.

For before the harvest, after the flower is gone and becomes an unripe grape, he prunes the vine with a knife to take out the shoots and branches.

6 Itiopia vahera ha' eme huzmante'za sondia vahe'zamia zamahe hana hanage'za fri'za mopafina me'nenage'za, fri'naza zamavufaga tumpamo'za zagegnafina eme ne'nenage'za, zasi knafina afi zagaramimo'za eme negahaze.

They will all be left as carrion for the birds of prey of the mountains, and for the wild animals. The birds will eat them in summer, and all the wild animals in winter.

7 Ana knafina Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzantega musezana eri'za esazana, Itiopia vahera zaza hu'za, zamavufagamo'ma hentofaza hige'za, ranra timo'ma tusiza higeno, ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'ma zamazeri haviza nehazageno, maka mopafi vahe'mo'za tusi koro hunezmantaza vaheki'za Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamofo agima erisgama nehaza mono nonte, Saioni agonare muse zazamia eri'za egahaze.

At that time a gift will be brought to the Lord Almighty from a tall and smooth-skinned people, from a people feared by everyone, from a very powerful nation of conquerors, whose land is washed away by rivers. It will be brought to Mount Zion, the place identified with the Lord Almighty.
