< Hisqiʼeel 2 >

1 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, miilla keetiin dhaabadhu; ani sittan dubbadhaa” naan jedhe.
And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 Akkuma inni dubbateenis Hafuurri anatti seenee miilla kootiin na dhaabachiise; anis isaa natti dubbatu nan dhagaʼe.
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet. And I heard him who spoke to me.
3 Innis akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa, ani gara Israaʼelootaatti, gara saba fincilaa kan natti fincile sanaatti sin erga; isaanii fi abbootiin isaanii hamma harʼaatti natti fincilaniiru.
And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4 Sabni ani itti si ergu sun didaa fi mata jabeessa. Atis, ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha’ jedhiin.
And the sons are impudent and stiff hearted. I send thee to them, and thou shall say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah.
5 Isaan mana fincilaadhaatii; dhagaʼanis dhagaʼuu baatanis akka raajiin isaan gidduu jiru ni beeku.
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 Yaa ilma namaa, ati isaan yookaan dubbii isaanii hin sodaatin. Sokorruu fi qoraattiin si marsus, torbaanqabaa gidduu jiraattus hin sodaatin. Isaan mana fincilaa taʼan iyyuu ati waan isaan dubbatan hin sodaatin yookaan isaan si hin rifachiisin.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dwell among scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Waan isaan finciltoota taʼaniif, dhagaʼanis dhagaʼuu baatanis ati dubbii koo isaanitti himuu qabda.
And thou shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.
8 Yaa ilma namaa, ati garuu waan ani siin jedhu dhaggeeffadhu; ati akka mana fincilaa sanaa hin fincilin; afaan kee banadhuutii waan ani siif kennu nyaadhu.”
But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee. Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house. Open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.
9 Kana irratti ani utuu harki tokko natti hiixatuun arge. Harka sana keessas kitaaba maramaa tokkotu ture;
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me, and, lo, a roll of a book was in it,
10 innis fuula koo duratti kitaaba sana diriirse. Kitaaba sana irrattis, duraa duubaan faaruun booʼichaa, gaddii fi wawwaannaan barreeffamanii turan.
And he spread it before me, and it was written inside and outside. And there were written in it lamentations and mourning and woe.
