Hisqiʼeel 16
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, hojii ishee jibbisiisaa sana Yerusaalemitti himi;
Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,
3 akkanas jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan Yerusaalemiin akkana jedha: Sanyii fi dhaloonni kee biyya Kanaʼaanotaa ti; abbaan kee nama Amoor; haati kee immoo nama Heet.
And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.
4 Ati gaafa dhalatte hin handhuuramne yookaan akka qulqullooftuuf bishaaniin hin dhiqamne yookaan soogiddaan hin sukkuumamne yookaan huccuudhaan hin maramne.
As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.
5 Namni tokko iyyuu ija gara laafinaatiin si hin ilaalle yookaan wantoota kanneen siif gochuuf garaa siif hin laafne. Qooda kanaa ati dirreetti gatamte; ati gaafa dhalatte tuffatamtee turteetii.
No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.
6 “‘Anis utuun achiin darbuu siʼii dhiiga kee keessa ciiftee dhidhiitattu sin arge; utuma ati achi dhiiga kee keessa ciiftuu ani, “Jiraadhu!” siinan jedhe.
And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;
7 Akkuma biqiltuu dirreettis sin guddise. Atis guddattee jabaattee lula akka malee miidhagu taate. Ati qullaa fi harka duwwaa turte, guntuta baaftee rifeensi kees guddate.
And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.
8 “‘Ani yeroon deebiʼee achiin darbutti si ilaaleen akka ati jaalalaaf geesse sin arge; handaara wayyaa kootiis sirra buuseen qullummaa kee haguuge. Siif kakadhees si wajjin waadaa nan gale, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; atis kan koo taate.
Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
9 “‘Ergasii ani bishaaniin si dhiqee dhiiga sirraa miicee zayitii si dibe.
Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
10 Ani uffata faayeffame sitti uffisee kophee gogaa irraa hojjetame illee sitti nan kaaʼe. Wayyaa miidhagaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame sitti uffisee uffata gatii guddaa immoo sirra buuse.
And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.
11 Ani faayaan si miidhagseera jechuunis irree keetti bitawoo, morma keetti immoo amartii siif godheera;
And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.
12 ani funyaan keetti qubeelaa, gurra keetti amartii, mataa keetti immoo gonfoo miidhagaa kaaʼeera.
And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Atis akkasiin warqee fi meetiidhaan miidhagfamte; uffanni kees quncee talbaatii fi haarriidhaan faayeffamee hojjetamee ture; nyaanni kee daakuu bullaaʼaa, dammaa fi zayitii ejersaa ture. Ati akka malee bareeddee mootittii taʼuuf kaate.
So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.
14 Waaʼee bareedina keetiitiifis maqaan kee saboota gidduu tamsaʼe; surraan ani siif kenne bareedina kee kan hanqina hin qabne godheeraatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.
15 “‘Ati garuu miidhagina kee amanattee maqaa kee sagaagalummaadhaaf itti fayyadamte. Kara deemaa kam iyyuu wajjin sagaagaltee miidhagina kees kenniteef.
But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.
16 Uffata kee keessaas tokko tokko fuutee iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen itti sagaagaltu sana ittiin miidhagsite. Wanni akkasii takkumaa taʼee hin beeku; fuuldurattis hin taʼu.
And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.
17 Faayawwan miidhagoo ani siif kenne kan warqee fi meetii koo irraa hojjetaman fudhattee korommii waaqota tolfamoo ofii keetiif hojjetattee isaan wajjin sagaagalte.
And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;
18 Uffata kee kan faayeffamee hojjetames isaanitti uffistee, zayitii fi ixaana koos fuula isaanii duratti dhiʼeessite.
And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.
19 Nyaata ani siif kenne jechuunis daakuu bullaaʼaa, zayitii ejersaatii fi damma ani akka ati nyaattuuf siif kenne sana akka ixaana urgaa gaarii qabuutti fuula isaanii duratti dhiʼeessite. Wanni akkasii taʼeera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.
20 “‘Ati ilmaanii fi intallan kee kanneen naaf deesse fuutee akka isaan nyaata waaqota tolfamoo taʼaniif aarsaa gootee dhiʼeessite. Sagaagalummaan kee hin gaʼu turee?
And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,
21 Ati ijoollee koo qaltee waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa goote.
That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?
22 Ati hojii kee jibbisiisaa fi sagaagalummaa hojjete hundaan baroota ijoollummaa keetii, yeroo qullaa fi miilla duwwaa, yeroo dhiiga kee keessa gangalachaa turte sana hin yaadanne.
And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.
23 “‘Wayyoo! Siif wayyoo, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Jalʼina kee kaan hunda irratti immoo,
And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,
24 ofii keetiif waltajjii qopheeffatte; oobdiiwwan uummataa hundatti galma waaqeffannaa ol dheeraa hojjette.
That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.
25 Fiixee daandii hundaatti gaarran sagadaa kee ol dhedheeroo ijaarratte; nama achiin darbu hundaaf dhagna kee dhiʼeessitee sagaagalummaa kee baayʼisuudhaan miidhagina kee busheessite.
You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.
26 Ati warra Gibxi, olloota kee kanneen dhagna guddaa qaban wajjin sagaagaltee sagaagalummaa kee kan hamma hin qabne sanaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaafte.
And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
27 Kanaafuu ani harka koo sitti kaasee qooda kee sirraa nan hirʼise; ani intallan Filisxeemotaa warra diinota kee taʼan kanneen amala sagaagalummaa kee saalfatanitti dabarsee si kenneera.
Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.
28 Ati sababii dharraa hin baʼiniif warra Asoor wajjinis akkasuma sagaagalte; ati amma illee dharraa hin baane.
And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.
29 Ergasiis itti fuftee daldaltoota biyya Baabilon wajjin sagaagalte; garuu kanaan iyyuu dharraa hin baane.
And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.
30 “‘Ati akka sagaagaltuu hin saalfanne tokkootti waan kana hunda gochuun kee yaada dadhabaa akkamii qabaatteeti! jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;
31 Ati yeroo fiixee daandii hundaatti waltajjii tolfattee oobdii uummataa hunda irratti iddoowwan sagadaa keetii ol dhedheeroo ijaarrattetti, ati sababii gatii hin baasisiniif akka sagaagaltuu tokkoo hin turre.
For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.
32 “‘Yaa niitii sagaagaltuu nana! Ati qooda dhirsa keetii kara deemaa filatta!
The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!
33 Sagaagaltuun kam iyyuu gatii fudhatti; ati garuu michoota kee hundaaf kennaa kennita; akka isaan iddoo kamii iyyuu gara kee dhufanii si wajjin sagaagalaniif jettee mattaʼaa kennitaaf.
They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.
34 Kanaafuu sagaagalummaan kee kan warra kaaniitiin adda; namni kam iyyuu si argachuuf si faana hin buʼu. Ati gatii kennita malee waan gatiin siif hin kennamneef ati kan addaa ti.
And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.
35 “‘Kanaafuu yaa sagaagaltuu nana, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi!
For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:
36 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii ati qabeenya kee dhangalaaftee michoota kee wajjin sagaagalummaa baayʼisuudhaan qullaa kee dhaabatteef, sababii waaqota kee jibbisiisoo hundaatii fi sababii dhiiga ijoollee keetii isaaniif kenniteef,
This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;
37 ani michoota kee kanneen ati isaan wajjin bashannante jechuunis warra ati jaallattus warra ati jibbitus walitti nan qaba. Ani iddoo hundaatii isaaniin sitti waamee fuula isaanii duratti qullaa sin dhaaba; isaanis qullaa kee hunda ni argu.
For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.
38 Ani adabbii dubartoota sagaagalaniitii fi dhiiga namaa dhangalaasaniif malu sitti nan murteessa; dheekkamsa koo fi hinaaffaa kootiinis dhiiga kee nan dhangalaasa.
And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.
39 Ergasii ani harka michoota keetiitti dabarsee sin kenna; isaanis waltajjii kee ni diigu; iddoowwan sagadaa keetii ol dhedheeroos ni barbadeessu. Isaan wayyaa kee sirraa baasanii faaya kee miidhagaa sana illee sirraa fudhatu; qullaa keetii fi harka duwwaas si hambisu.
I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.
40 Isaan jeeqxota sitti kakaasu; jarris dhagaadhaan si tuman; goraadeedhaanis si kukkutu.
And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.
41 Isaan manneen keessan ni gubu; fuula dubartoota hedduu durattis isin adaban. Ani sagaagaltummaa kee sin dhiisisa; siʼachis michoota keetiif gatii hin kaffaltu.
And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.
42 Yoos dheekkamsi koo sirraa qabbanaaʼa; hinaaffaan koos sirraa ni deebiʼa; ani nan calʼisa; siʼachis hin aaru.
And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.
43 “‘Sababii ati bara ijoollummaa keetii yaadachuu dhiiftee wantoota kanneen hundaan na aarsiteef, ani dhugumaan waan ati hojjette matuma keetti nan deebisa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Ati hojii kee jibbisiisaa kaan hunda irratti wal bira gaʼuu haala hamaadhaan hojjetamu dabalatteerta mitii?
Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.
44 “‘Namni mammaaksa mammaaku kam iyyuu, “Intalli akkuma haadhaa ti” jedhee waaʼee kee mammaaksa kana mammaaka.
See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
45 Ati intala haadha kee kan dhirsaa fi ijoollee ishee balfite sanaa ti; ati obboleettii obboleettota kee kanneen dhirsoota isaaniitii fi ijoollee isaanii balfan sanaa ti. Haati kee nama Heeti, abbaan kee immoo nama Amoor turan.
You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46 Obboleettiin kee hangafni Samaariyaa ishee intallan ishee wajjin siin gama kaabaa jiraattu sanaa ti; obboleettiin kee quxisuun Sodoom ishee intallan ishee wajjin siin gama kibbaa jiraattuu ti.
Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Ati karaa isaanii duukaa buutee hojiiwwan isaanii jibbisiisoo sana hojjechuu qofa utuu hin taʼin karaa kee hundumaan daftee isaan caalaa amala badde.
Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.
48 Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; obboleettiin kee Sodoomii fi intallan ishee iyyuu takkumaa waan atii fi intallan kee hojjettan kana hin hojjenne.
By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.
49 “‘Egaa cubbuun obboleettii kee Sodoom kana ture: Ishee fi intallan ishee of tuultotaa fi quufoo turan; yaada malees jiraatan; isaan hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota hin gargaarre.
Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.
50 Isaan of tuultota turan; fuula koo duratti waan jibbisiisaa hojjetan. Kanaafuu ani akkuma isin argitan sana isaan nan balleesse.
They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
51 Samaariyaan cubbuu ati hojjette sana walakkaa isaa illee hin hojjenne. Ati isaan caalaa waan jibbisiisaa hojjettee waanuma hojjette kana hundaan obboleettota kee qajeeltota fakkeessite.
And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.
52 Ati waan obboleettota keetiif falmii qopheessiteef qaanii kee baadhadhu. Sababii cubbuun kee cubbuu isaanii caalaa hamaa taʼeef isaan si caalaa qajeeltota fakkaatu. Kanaafuu qaanaʼiitii salphina kee baadhadhu; ati akka obboleettonni kee qajeeltota fakkaatan gooteertaatii.
And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.
53 “‘Taʼus ani hambaa Sodoomii fi kan intallan ishee, kan Samaariyaatii fi kan intallan ishee, kan kees kan isaanii wajjin nan deebisa;
And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.
54 kunis akka ati salphina kee baadhattee waan isaan jajjabeessuuf hojjette sana hundaan qaanoftuuf.
So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.
55 Obboleettonni kee Sodoomii fi intallan ishee, Samaariyaa fi intallan ishee akkuma duraan turanitti ni deebiʼu; atii fi intallan kees akkuma duraan turtanitti ni deebitu.
And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.
56 Ati bara of tuulaa turte sana keessa obboleettii kee Sodoomiin maqaa iyyuu hin dhoofne;
Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 kunis utuu hamminni kee ifatti hin baʼin ture. Taʼus ati amma intallan Edoomiin, olloota ishee hundaa fi intallan Filisxeemotaa jechuunis warra naannoo kee jiraatan kanneen si tuffatan hundaan ni balfamta.
Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.
58 Ati gatii wal bira gaʼuu haala hamaadhaan hojjetteetii fi kan hojii kee jibbisiisaa sanaa ni argatta, jedha Waaqayyo.
The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.
59 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii ati kakuu cabsuudhaan walii galtee koo tuffatteef, ani akkuma siif malutti sin adaba.
For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.
60 Taʼus ani kakuun yeroo ijoollummaa keetiitti si wajjin gale sana nan yaadadha; kakuu bara baraan hin diigamnes si wajjin nan gala.
But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.
61 Ati gaafas yeroo obboleettota kee hangafaa fi quxisuu simattutti, karaa kee yaadattee ni qaanofta. Ani intallan taasisee isaan siifan kenna; garuu kun akka kakuu ani si wajjin gale sanaa miti.
Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.
62 Ani si wajjin kakuu nan gala; atis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta.
And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:
63 Yeroo ani waan ati hojjette hunda siif dhiisutti, ati sababii salphina keetiitiif yaadattee ni qaanofta; lammatas afaan hin saaqattu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
