Hisqiʼeel 13
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, raajota Israaʼel kanneen amma raajii dubbachaa jiraniin mormuudhaan raaji. Warra yaaduma ofii isaanii raajaniin akkana jedhi: ‘Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa!
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto those that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of the Lord:
3 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Raajota gowwaa kanneen utuu homaa hin argin hafuura ofii isaanii duukaa buʼan sanaaf wayyoo!
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe unto the scandalous prophets, that follow their own spirit, without having seen any thing!
4 Yaa Israaʼel, raajonni kee akkuma waangota waan diigame gidduu jiraatanii ti.
Like foxes among the ruins have been thy prophets, O Israel!
5 Isin akka dallaan sun guyyaa waraana Waaqayyootti jabaatee dhaabatuuf dallaa cabe sana mana Israaʼeliif deebiftanii ijaaruudhaaf jettanii ol hin baane.
Ye did not go up into the breaches, nor did ye make a fence around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord.
6 Mulʼanni isaanii soba; raajiin isaanii soba. Isaan utuu Waaqayyo isaan hin ergin, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha” jedhu; taʼus isaan akka dubbiin isaanii raawwatamu eeggatu.
They saw falsehood and lying divination, they who say, “The Lord saith,” when the Lord had not sent them; and yet they made others hope for the fulfillment of the word.
7 Ani dubbachuu baadhu iyyuu isin, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha” jechuun keessan mulʼata sobaa arguu keessanii fi raajii sobaa dubbachuu keessan mitii?
Had ye not seen a false vision, and had ye not said a lying divination? and ye say, “The Lord saith,” when I have not spoken.
8 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii dubbii sobaa keessaniitii fi mulʼata sobaa keessaniitiif ani isinitti kaʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas ye have spoken falsehood, and have seen lies: therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Eternal.
9 Harki koo raajota mulʼata sobaa arganii raajii sobaa dubbatanitti ni kaʼa. Isaan miseensa waldaa saba kootii hin taʼan yookaan galmee mana Israaʼel irratti hin galmeeffaman yookaan biyya Israaʼel hin seenan. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beektu.
And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false-hood, and that divine lies; in the secret council of my people shall they not be, and in the register of the house of Israel shall they not be written, and into the land of Israel shall they not come: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.
10 “‘Isaan yeroo nagaan hin jirretti, “Nagaa dha” jechaa saba koo karaa irraa waan jalʼisanii yeroo namoonni dallaa dhagaa ijaaranitti nooraa dibaniif,
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace,” when there was no peace: and [my people] build a protecting wall, and lo, they plaster it with unadhesive mortar.
11 ati akka dallaan sun jigu warra nooraa itti diban sanatti himi. Bokkaan hamaan ni rooba; dhagaan cabbii ni buʼa; bubbeen jabaan ni bubbisa.
Say unto those who plaster it with unadhesive mortar, that it shall fall: there cometh an overflowing rain-shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a storm-wind shall rend it.
12 Yeroo dallaan sun jigutti namoonni, “Nooraan isin itti dibdan sun eessa jira” jedhanii isin hin gaafatanii?
And, lo, the wall is fallen down; will it not now be said unto you, Where is the plastering wherewith ye have plastered?
13 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani dheekkamsa kootiin bubbee hamaa nan kaasa; aarii kootiinis dhagaa cabbii fi bokkaa hamaan badiisa fidu ni rooba.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will even rend it with storm-winds in my fury; and an overflowing rain-shower shall come in my anger, with great hailstones in my fury to destroy it.
14 Ani akka hundeen isaa qullaatti hafuuf dhagaa isin nooraa dibdan sana diigee lafaan wal nan qixxeessa. Yommuu inni jigutti isin isa keessatti ni barbadeeffamtu; akka ani Waaqayyo taʼes ni beektu.
And I will pull down the wall that ye have plastered with unadhesive mortar, and I will cast it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be laid open; and it shall fall, and ye shall be destroyed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
15 Dallaa sanaa fi warra nooraa itti dibanitti dheekkamsa koo nan roobsa. Anis akkana isiniin nan jedha; “Dallaan sunii fi warri dallaa sana nooraa diban sun ni badu;
Thus will I let out all my wrath upon the wall, and upon those that have plastered it with unadhesive mortar; and I will say unto you, Gone is the wall, and gone are they that plastered it;
16 raajonni Israaʼel kanneen Yerusaalemiif raajanii utuu nagaan hin jiraatin mulʼata nagaa isheef argan sunis ni badu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”’
[Namely, ] the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see for her a vision of peace, when there is no peace, saith the Lord Eternal.
17 “Ammas yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara intallan saba keetii kanneen waanuma ofii yaadan raajaniitti deebifadhuutii isaaniin mormuudhaan raaji;
But, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart: and prophesy against them,
18 akkanas jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Dubartoota kiyyoo keessa nama galchuuf jedhanii manyʼee harka isaanii hundaaf kudhaama hodhatanii haguuggii garaa garaa mataa isaaniitti haguuggataniif wayyoo. Isin lubbuu saba koo kiyyoo keessa galchitanii kan ofii keessanii immoo oolfattuu?
And say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the women that sew bolsters together for the armpits of all, and make cushions for the head of every stature, to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, that ye may keep your own soul alive?
19 Isin garbuu konyee tokkoo fi buddeena cabaa tokkoof jettanii uummata koo gidduutti na xureessitaniirtu. Uummata koo isa soba keessan dhagaʼuttis sobuudhaan warra duʼuu hin qabne ajjeeftanii warra jiraachuu hin qabne immoo baraartaniirtu.
And ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for bits of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to keep alive the souls that should not live, by your lying to my people that listen to lies!
20 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Kunoo, ani kudhaama keessan kan isin akkuma simbira kiyyeeffamtuutti uummata ittiin kiyyeessitanitti nan kaʼa; harka keessan irraas nan cira; uummata isin akkuma simbirri kiyyeeffamtutti kiyyeessitan sanas kiyyoo keessaa nan baasa.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I am against your bolsters, whereon ye hunt the souls that they may flutter [in your net], and I will tear them away from your arms; and I will let the souls go free, even the souls that ye hunt that they may flutter [in your net.]
21 Ani haguuggii keessan tarsaasee saba koo harka keessan keessaa nan baasa; isaan siʼachi harka keessan jalatti hin bulan. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
And I will tear away your cushions, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
22 Ani isa dirqisiisuu baadhu iyyuu isin waan soba keessaniin nama qajeelaa dirqisiiftanii fi waan akka namni hamaan karaa isaa hamaa sana irraa deebiʼee lubbuu isaa oolfatuuf hin jajjabeessiniif,
Because ye grieve the heart of the righteous with falsehood, when I have not given him pain; and strengthen the hands of the wicked, so that he should not return from his wicked way, through which he might live.
23 isin siʼachi mulʼata sobaa hin argitan yookaan raajii sobaa hin dubbattan. Anis saba koo harka keessan keessaa nan baasa. Ergasiis isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’”
Therefore shall ye see no more falsehood, and tell no more divinations; and I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
