Hisqiʼeel 17
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, hibboo dubbadhuutii mana Israaʼelitti fakkeenya himi.
O son of humankind ask a riddle a riddle and speak a parable a parable concerning [the] house of Israel.
3 Akkanas isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Risaan guddaan qoochoo jabaa, baallee dhedheeraa fi bifa adda addaa qabu tokko gara Libaanoon dhufe. Innis mataa muka birbirsaa fudhatee
And you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh the eagle great great of wings long of pinion full plumage which [belonged] to it variegated plumage it came to Lebanon and it took [the] treetop of the cedar.
4 lataa fiixee isaa irraa cabsee biyya daldaltootaatti geesse; magaalaa daldaltootaa keessas dhaabe.
[the] top Shoots its it plucked off and it brought it to a land of merchant[s] in a city of traders it placed it.
5 “‘Innis sanyii biyya keetii keessaa waa fuudhee biyyoo gabbataa keessa kaaʼe. Akka muka qarqara lagaatti biqiluutti bishaan guddaa bira dhaabe;
And it took one of [the] seed of the land and it put it in a field of seed take [it] at waters many a willow it placed it.
6 innis biqilee hidda yaafatee muka wayinii dagaage taʼe. Dameewwan isaa gara isaatti deebiʼan; hiddi isaa garuu isuma jalatti hafe. Inni akkasiin muka wayinii taʼee dameewwan baala hedduu qaban baafate.
And it sprouted and it became a vine spreading low of stature to turn branches its to it and roots its under it they were and it became a vine and it produced shoots and it sent out boughs.
7 “‘Ergasiis risaa guddaa kan qoochoo guddaa fi baallee baayʼee qabu kan biraatu ture. Mukti wayinii sunis bishaan akka argatuuf lafa qotiisaa dhaabamee ture sana keessaa gara risaa sanaatti hidda yaafatee dameewwanis balʼifate.
And it was an eagle one great great of wings and great of plumage and there! the vine this it bent roots its on it and branches its it sent out to it to water it from [the] beds of planting its.
8 Mukti wayinii sun akka dameewwan baasuuf, akka ija naqatuu fi akka wayinii itti tole taʼuuf biyyoo gaarii qarqara bishaan guddaa jiru keessa dhaabamee ture.’
To a field good to waters many it [was] planted to produce branch[es] and to bear fruit to become a vine of splendor.
9 “Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Inni ni guddataa? Inni akka goguuf buqqifamee iji isaa irraa harcaʼa mitii? Lataan isaa hundinuus ni goga. Hidda isaa wajjin isa buqqisuuf irree jabaa yookaan nama hedduu hin barbaachisu.
Say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh will it prosper? ¿ not roots its will it pull up and fruit its - will it strip off? and it will wither all [the] fresh [things] of growth its it will wither and not by an arm great and by a people numerous to lift up it from roots its.
10 Inni utuma iddoo tokkoo buqqifamee iddoo biraa dhaabamee iyyuu ni guddataa? Inni yeroo bubbeen baʼa biiftuu itti bubbistutti lafa qotiisaa keessatti biqile sana irratti guutumaan guutuutti coollagee hin goguu?’”
And there! [it is] planted ¿ will it prosper ¿ not when touches it [the] wind of the east will it wither completely on [the] beds of growth its it will wither.
11 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
12 “Mana fincilaa kanaan, ‘Isin hiikkaa wantoota kanneenii hin beektanii?’ jedhi. Akkana isaaniin jedhi: ‘Mootiin Baabilon gara Yerusaalem dhaqee, mootii isheetii fi namoota ishee ulfaatoo fuudhee Baabilonitti deebiʼe.
Say please to [the] house of rebellion ¿ not do you know what? [are] these [things] say there! he went [the] king of Babylon Jerusalem and he took king its and princes its and he brought them to himself Babylon towards.
13 Ergasii immoo maatii mootichaa keessaa nama tokko fuudhee kakachiisuudhaan isa wajjin walii galtee uummate. Akkasumas namoota biyya sanaa jajjaboo fuudhee deeme;
And he took one of [the] offspring of royalty and he made with him a covenant and he made go him in an oath and [the] leaders of the land he took.
14 kunis akka mootummaan sun gad deebiʼee mataa ol qabachuu dadhabee walii galtee sana qofaan jiraachuu dandaʼuuf.
To be a kingdom lowly to not to exalt itself to keep covenant his to continue it.
15 Mootichi garuu fardeenii fi loltoota hedduu argachuuf jedhee ergamoota isaa Gibxitti ergachuudhaan isatti fincile. Inni amma ni milkaaʼaa? Namni waan akkanaa hojjetu ni miliqaa? Inni walii galtee sana cabsee jalaa baʼuu dandaʼaa?
And he rebelled against him by sending messengers his Egypt to give to him horses and a people numerous ¿ will he prosper ¿ will he escape the [one who] does these [things] and will he break? a covenant and will he escape?
16 “‘Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; inni Baabilon keessatti biyyuma mooticha teessoo irra isa kaaʼe kan inni kakuu isaa tuffatee walii galtee isaas cabse sanaa keessatti ni duʼa.
[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not in [the] place of the king who made king him whom he despised oath his and whom he broke covenant his with him in [the] midst of Babylon he will die.
17 Yeroo lubbuu hedduu galaafachuuf tuullaan biyyoo tuulamee daʼannoon ijaaramutti, Faraʼoon loltoota isaa jajjaboo fi tuuta nama baayʼee wajjin waraana keessatti homaa isa hin fayyadu.
And not with an army large and with a company great he will do with him Pharaoh in battle when pour out a mound and when build a siege-wall to cut off lives many.
18 Inni walii galtee tuffatee kakuu cabse. Sababii walii galteedhaan harka dhaʼee garuu waan kana hunda hojjeteef inni hin baʼu.
And he despised [the] oath by breaking [the] covenant and there! he had given hand his and all these [things] he did not he will escape.
19 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani jiraataadhaatii, ani kakuu koo kan inni tuffatee fi walii galtee koo kan inni cabse sana matuma isaatti nan deebisa.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [by] [the] life of me if not oath my which he despised and covenant my which he broke and I will requite it on own head his.
20 Ani kiyyoo koo isaaf nan diriirsa; innis kiyyoo kootiin ni qabama. Sababii inni anaaf amanamuu dideef ani Baabilonitti isa geessee achitti isatti nan mura.
And I will spread over him net my and he will be caught in hunting net my and I will bring him Babylon towards and I will enter into judgment with him there unfaithfulness his which he has acted unfaithfully against me.
21 Loltoonni isaa kanneen baqatan hundinuu goraadeedhaan ajjeefamu; warri hafan immoo bubbeetti bittinneeffamu. Gaafas isin akka ani Waaqayyo dubbadhe ni beektu.
And all (fugitives his *Q(K)*) among all troops his by the sword they will fall and the [ones who] survive to every wind they will be scattered and you will know that I Yahweh I have spoken.
22 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani mataan koo mataa birbirsaa irraa damee tokko kutee nan dhaaba; fiixee isaa irraa immoo lataa kichuu cabsee tulluu guddaa ol dheeraa tokko irra nan dhaaba.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will take I from [the] treetop of the cedar high and I will place [it] from [the] top of young shoots its a tender [shoot] I will pluck off and I will plant [it] I on a mountain high and lofty.
23 Anis ol dheerina tulluu Israaʼel irra isa nan dhaaba; inni immoo dameewwan yaafatee, ija naqatee birbirsa guddaa taʼa. Simbirroonni gosa hundaas isa irra jiraatu; isaanis gaaddisa dameewwan isaa jalatti iddoo bultii ni qabaatu.
On [the] mountain of [the] height of Israel I will plant it and it will bear branch[es] and it will produce fruit and it will become a cedar majestic and they will dwell under it every bird every wing in [the] shadow of branches its they will dwell.
24 Mukkeen bosonaa hundinuu akka ani Waaqayyo muka dheeraa gabaabsee muka gabaabaa immoo dheeressu ni beeku. Ani muka jiidhaa gogsee muka gogaa immoo akka inni lalisu nan godha. “‘Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheera; waan kana nan raawwadha.’”
And they will know all [the] trees of the field that I Yahweh I bring low - a tree tall I raise up a tree low I make dry a tree moist and I make sprout a tree dry I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act.
