Hisqiʼeel 12
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, ati uummata fincilaa gidduu jiraatta. Isaan arguudhaaf ija qabu; garuu hin argan; dhagaʼuudhaafis gurra qabu; garuu hin dhagaʼan; isaan uummata fincilaadhaatii.
“Son of man, you live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are a provoking house.
3 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, utuma isaan arganuu guyyaa adiidhaan waan qabdu qopheeffadhuutii boojiʼamuuf iddoo jirtuu baʼiitii iddoo biraa deemi. Isaan mana fincilaa taʼani iyyuu tarii ni hubatu taʼa.
As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are a provoking house.
4 Miʼa kee kan boojiʼamuuf qopheeffatte sana utuma isaan arganuu guyyaa adiidhaan baafadhu. Utuma isaan arganuus galgalaan akkuma warra boojiʼamuuf deemaniitti baʼii deemi.
And you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.
5 Utuma isaan arganuus dallaa uriitii miʼa kee achi keessaan baafadhu.
Dig for yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall go out through it.
6 Utuma isaan arganuus dimimmisa galgalaa keessa miʼa sana ol fuudhii gatiittii keetti baadhuu baʼi. Ati akka biyyattii hin argineef fuula kee haguuggadhu; ani mana Israaʼeliif mallattoo si godheeraatii.”
In their sight, you shall be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for the house of Israel.”
7 Anis akkuman ajajame nan godhe. Miʼa koos boojuuf qopheeffadhee guyyaa adiidhaan baafadhe. Galgalaanis dallaa sana harkuma kootiin nan ure. Utuma isaan arganuus miʼa koo gatiittii irratti baadhadhee dimimmisaan nan baʼe.
Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.
8 Guyyaa itti aanu ganamas dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, in the morning, saying:
9 “Yaa ilma namaa, manni Israaʼel fincilaan sun, ‘Ati maal gochaa jirta?’ jedhee si hin gaafannee?
“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you: ‘What are you doing?’
10 “Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Raajiin kun waaʼee ilma mootii isa Yerusaalem keessa jiraatuu fi guutummaa mana Israaʼel kan achi jiraatuu ti.’
Say to them: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.
11 Atis, ‘Ani mallattoo keessan’ isaaniin jedhi. “Wanni ani hojjedhe sun isaan irra ni gaʼa. Isaan boojiʼamanii ni fudhatamu.
Say: I am your portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.
12 “Ilmi mootii inni gidduu isaanii jiraatu miʼa isaa gatiittii isaatti baadhatee dimimmisaan ni deema; akka inni keessaan baʼuuf dallaan ni uramaaf. Akka biyyattii hin argineefis fuula isaa ni haguuggata.
And the leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.
13 Ani kiyyoo koo nan diriirsaaf; innis kiyyoo kootiin ni qabama; ani gara Baabilon, biyya Kaldootaatti isa nan geessa; inni garuu biyyattii hin argu; achittis ni duʼa.
And I will extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall die.
14 Ani warra isa wajjin jiran hunda gargaartota isaatii fi loltoota isaa hunda bubbeetti nan bittinneessa; goraadee luqqifameenis isaan nan ariʼa.
And all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe the sword after them.
15 “Isaan yommuu ani saboota gidduutti isaan bittinneessee biyyoota keessa isaan faffacaasutti, akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.
16 Ani garuu akka isaan saboota itti geeffaman sana keessatti gochawwan isaanii jibbisiisoo hunda himataniif isaan keessaa namoota muraasa goraadee irraa, beelaa fi dhaʼicha irraa nan hambisa. Isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
And I will leave behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “Yaa ilma namaa, raafamuudhaan nyaata kee nyaadhu; sodaadhaan hollachaa bishaan kee dhugi.
“Son of man, eat your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.
19 Saboota biyyattiitiin akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan waaʼee warra Yerusaalem keessaa fi biyya Israaʼel keessa jiraatanii akkana jedha: Sababii jeequmsa namoota achi jiraatan hundaatiif biyyattiin waan ontuuf isaan nyaata isaanii dhiphinaan nyaatu; bishaan isaanii immoo sodaadhaan dhugu.
And say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living in it.
20 Magaalaawwan namoonni keessa jiraatan ni barbadaaʼu; biyyattiin immoo ni onti. Sana booddee isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’”
And cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
21 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
22 “Yaa ilma namaa, fakkeenyi isin biyya Israaʼel keessatti, ‘Barri dheerateera; mulʼannis faayidaa dhabeera’ jettan kun maali?
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’
23 Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani fakkeenya kana nan balleessa; isaan siʼachi Israaʼel keessatti itti hin fayyadaman.’ Atis, ‘Barri itti mulʼanni hundi fiixaan baʼu dhiʼaateera, isaaniin jedhi.
Therefore, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word of every vision.
24 Siʼachi mulʼanni sobaa yookaan raajiin sobaa uummata Israaʼel keessa hin jiraatuutii.
For there shall no longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons of Israel.
25 Ani Waaqayyo garuu waanan fedhe nan dubbadha; dubbiin sunis utuu hin turin ni raawwatama. Isin yaa mana fincilaa nana, ani waanan dubbadhu hunda bara keessan keessa nan raawwadha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
For I, the Lord, will speak. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says the Lord God.”
26 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
27 “Yaa ilma namaa, manni Israaʼel, ‘Mulʼanni inni argu waan bara dheeraa booddee raawwatamuu dha; wanni inni raajus waan bara fagootti guutamuu dha.’
“Son of man, behold the house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’
28 “Kanaafuu ati akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Siʼachi dubbiin koo tokko iyyuu lafa irra hin harkifatu; wanni ani jedhu kam iyyuu ni raawwatama, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.”
