< Hisqiʼeel 2 >

1 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, miilla keetiin dhaabadhu; ani sittan dubbadhaa” naan jedhe.
He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 Akkuma inni dubbateenis Hafuurri anatti seenee miilla kootiin na dhaabachiise; anis isaa natti dubbatu nan dhagaʼe.
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on 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.
He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who 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.
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
5 Isaan mana fincilaadhaatii; dhagaʼanis dhagaʼuu baatanis akka raajiin isaan gidduu jiru ni beeku.
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will 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.
You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be 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.
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; 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 you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
9 Kana irratti ani utuu harki tokko natti hiixatuun arge. Harka sana keessas kitaaba maramaa tokkotu ture;
When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll 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.
He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
