Hisqiʼeel 20
1 Waggaa torbaffaa, jiʼa shanaffaa keessa guyyaa kudhannaffaatti maanguddoota Israaʼel keessaa tokko tokko waan Waaqayyo jedhu gaafachuuf dhufanii fuula koo dura tataaʼan.
And in the seuenth yeere, in the fift moneth, the tenth day of the moneth, came certaine of the elders of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and sate before me.
2 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
Then came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,
3 “Yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii maanguddoota Israaʼelitti dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin yaada koo gaafachuu dhuftanii? Ani jiraataadhaatii, ani akka isin yaada koo gaafattaniif isinii hin eeyyamu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’
Sonne of man, speake vnto the Elders of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye come to enquire of me? as I liue, sayth the Lord God, when I am asked, I wil not answer you.
4 “Ati isaanitti murtaa? Yaa ilma namaa, ati isaanitti murtaa? Ergasiis akka isaan hojiiwwan abbootii isaanii jibbisiisoo sana beekan godhi;
Wilt thou iudge them, sonne of man? wilt thou iudge them? cause them to vnderstand the abominations of their fathers,
5 akkanas isaaniin jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani gaafan Israaʼel filadhetti harka koo ol qabadhee sanyii mana Yaaqoobiif kakachuudhaan biyya Gibxi keessatti isaanitti of mulʼiseera. Harka koo ol kaasee, “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan” isaaniin jedheera.
And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when I chose Israel, and lift vp mine hand vnto the seede of the house of Iaakob, and made my selfe knowen vnto them in the land of Egypt, when I lift vp mine hand vnto them, and sayd, I am the Lord your God,
6 Gaafas ani biyya Gibxii isaan baasee biyya ani isaaniif file kan aannanii fi damma baastu, biyya biyyoota hunda caalaa miidhagdutti isaan galchuudhaaf isaaniif nan kakadhe.
In the day that I lift vp mine hand vnto them to bring them forth of the land of Egypt, into a land that I had prouided for them, flowing with milke and hony which is pleasant among all lands,
7 Anis akkanan isaaniin jedhe; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan wantoota jibbisiisoo kan iji keessan itti gammadu sana balleessaa; waaqota Gibxiinis of hin xureessinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.”
Then sayd I vnto them, Let euery man cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not your selues with the idols of Egypt: for I am the Lord your God.
8 “‘Isaan garuu natti fincilanii na dhagaʼuu didan; wantoota jibbisiisoo iji isaanii itti gammade sanas hin balleessine yookaan waaqota Gibxi tolfamoo sanas hin dhiisne. Kanaafuu ani biyya Gibxi keessatti aarii koo isaanitti baʼuudhaaf dheekkamsa koo isaan irratti nan dhangalaasa jedheen ture.
But they rebelled against me, and would not heare me: for none cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idoles of Egypt: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the mids of the land of Egypt.
9 Ani garuu akka maqaan koo fuula saboota Israaʼeloonni gidduu isaanii jiraatan kanneen ani Israaʼeloota biyya Gibxii baasuudhaan fuula isaanii duratti of beeksise sanaa duratti hin xuroofne gochuudhaaf maqaa kootiif jedheen hojjedhe.
But I had respect to my Name, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whome they were, and in whose sight I made my selfe knowen vnto them in bringing them forth of the land of Egypt.
10 Kanaafuu ani biyya Gibxii isaan baaseen gammoojjiitti isaan fide.
Nowe I caried them out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernes.
11 Akka namni isaaniif ajajamu isaaniin jiraatuuf ani sirnawwan koo isaaniif nan kenne; seerawwan koos isaanitti nan beeksise.
And I gaue them my statutes, and declared my iudgements vnto them, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them.
12 Akkasumas akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo isaan qulqulleesse beekaniif, akka anaa fi isaan gidduutti mallattoo taʼuuf Sanbatoota koo isaaniif nan kenne.
Moreouer I gaue them also my Sabbaths to be a signe betweene me and them, that they might knowe that I am the Lord, that sanctifie them.
13 “‘Manni Israaʼel garuu gammoojjii keessatti natti fincile. Sirna koo isa namni yoo itti bule isaan jiraatu isa hin eegne; seera koos ni tuffatan. Sanbatoota koos guutumaan guutuutti xureessan. Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee gammoojjii keessatti isaanan barbadeessa jedhen ture.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernes: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them, and my Sabbaths haue they greatly polluted: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them in the wildernes to consume them,
14 Ani garuu akka maqaan koo fuula saboota utuma iji isaanii arguu Israaʼelin achii baase sanaa duratti hin xuroofneef maqaa kootiif jedhee waan kana nan hojjedhe.
But I had respect to my Name, that it shoulde not bee polluted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out.
15 Akkasumas biyya ani isaaniif kenne kan biyyoota hunda caalaa miidhagdu kan aannanii fi damma baastutti akka isaan hin galchine harka koo ol qabadhee gammoojjii keessatti isaanitti nan kakadhe;
Yet neuerthelesse, I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes that I would not bring them into the lande, which I had giuen them, flowing with milke and hony, which was pleasant aboue all landes,
16 kunis waan isaan seera koo tuffataniif, sirna koo duukaa hin buʼinii fi Sanbatoota koo xureessaniif. Yaadni isaanii waaqota isaanii tolfamoo faana buʼeeraatii.
Because they cast away my iudgments, and walked not in my statutes, but haue polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idoles.
17 Taʼus ani gara laafinaanan isaan ilaale malee isaan hin balleessine yookaan gammoojjii keessatti isaan hin fixne.
Neuerthelesse, mine eye spared them, that I would not destroye them, neither would I consume them in the wildernes.
18 Ani gammoojjii keessatti ijoollee isaaniitiin akkana nan jedhe; “Sirna abbootii keessanii duukaa hin buʼinaa yookaan seera isaanii hin eeginaa yookaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoon of hin xureessinaa.
But I said vnto their children in the wildernes, Walke ye not in the ordinances of your fathers, neither obserue their maners, nor defile your selues with their idoles.
19 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan; sirna koo duukaa buʼaa; seera koos of eeggannaadhaan eegaa.
I am the Lord your God: walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements and doe them,
20 Akka inni nu gidduutti mallattoo taʼuuf Sanbata koo qulqullinaan eegaa. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan taʼe ni beektu.”
And sanctifie my Sabbaths, and they shall bee a signe betweene mee and you, that ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God.
21 “‘Ijoolleen isaanii garuu natti fincilan; isaan sirna koo isa, “Namni yoo itti bule isaan jiraatu” sana duukaa hin buune; seera koos of eeggannoodhaan hin eegne. Sanbatoota koos ni xureessan. Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee gammoojjii keessatti aarii koo isaanitti nan baʼa jedheen ture.
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against mee: they walked not in my statutes, nor kept my iudgements to doe them, which if a man doe, hee shall liue in them, but they polluted my Sabbaths: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the wildernes.
22 Ani garuu maqaa kootiif jedhee akka maqaan koo fuula saboota ani utuma isaan ilaalanuu achii isaan baase sanaa duratti hin xuroofneef harka koo dachaafadhe.
Neuerthelesse I withdrew mine hand and had respect to my Name that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them foorth.
23 Akkasumas ani gammoojjii keessatti harka koo ol qabadhee akkan saboota gidduutti isaan faffacaasuu fi biyyoota keessa isaan bittinneessu fuula isaanii duratti nan kakadhe;
Yet I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countreys,
24 isaan seera kootiif ajajamuu didan; sirna koos ni tuffatan; Sanbatoota koos ni xureessan; iji isaaniis waaqota tolfamoo kan abbootii isaanii duukaa buʼe.
Because they had not executed my iudgements, but had cast away my statutes and had polluted my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers idoles.
25 Anis sirna gaarii hin taʼinii fi seera isaan itti hin jiraannetti dabarseen isaan kenne;
Wherefore I gaue them also statutes that were not good, and iudgements, wherein they should not liue.
26 anis sodaadhaan isaan guutuufan aarsaa isaan ilmaan isaanii hangafa dhiʼeessuudhaan kennan sanaan akka isaan xuraaʼan nan godha; kanas ani akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe beekaniifan godhe.’
And I polluted them in their owne giftes in that they caused to passe by the fire all that first openeth ye wombe, that I might destroy them, to the ende, that they might know that I am ye Lord.
27 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii saba Israaʼelitti dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Kanaanis abbootiin keessan na gananii na arrabsan;
Therefore, sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me, though they had before grieuously transgressed against me.
28 yeroo ani gara biyya ani isaaniif kennuuf kakadhee ture sanaatti isaan galchee isaan immoo gaara ol dheeraa kam iyyuu yookaan muka lalisaa kam iyyuu arganitti, isaan achitti aarsaa isaaniif dhiʼeessan; aariif na kakaasuuf jedhanii qalma dhiʼeessan; ixaana isaanii urgaaʼaa dhiʼeessanii dhibaayyuu isaaniis dhibaafatan.
For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery hie hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offred there their sacrifices, and there they presented their offering of prouocation: there also they made their sweete sauour, and powred out there their drinke offerings.
29 Anis lafti ol dheeraan isin dhaqxan kun maal?’ isaaniin jedhe.” Hamma harʼaatti lafti sun Baamaa jedhamee waamama.
Then I saide vnto them, What is the hie place whereunto ye goe? And the name thereof was called Bamah vnto this day.
30 “Kanaaf mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin akkuma abbootii keessanii of xureessitanii hawwii wantoota jibbisiisoo isaaniitiin gubattanii?
Wherefore, say vnto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted after the maner of your fathers? and commit ye not whoredome after their abominations?
31 Isin yeroo kennaa keessan dhiʼeessitanii ilmaan keessan ibiddaan aarsaa gootanitti, hamma harʼaatti ittuma fuftanii waaqota keessan tolfamoo hundaan of xureessitan. Yaa mana Israaʼel, akka isin na kadhattani ani isiniif nan eeyyamaa? Ani dhugumaan jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; akka isin na kadhattan ani isiniif hin eeyyamu.
For when you offer your giftes, and make your sonnes to passe through the fire, you pollute your selues with all your idoles vnto this day: shall I answere you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I liue, saith the Lord God, I wil not answere you when I am asked.
32 “‘Isin, “Nu akka sabootaa, akka uummata addunyaa kanneen mukaa fi dhagaadhaaf sagadan sanaa taʼuu feena” jettu. Garuu wanni isin garaatti yaaddan gonkumaa hin taʼu.
Neither shall that be done that commeth into your minde: for ye say, We wil be as the heathen, and as the families of the countreys, and serue wood, and stone.
33 Ani dhugumaan jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; ani irree jabaa fi harka diriirfameen, dheekkamsa roobsuudhaan isinan bulcha.
As I liue, saith the Lord God, I will surely rule you with a mightie hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,
34 Ani harka jabaadhaan, irree diriirfamee fi dheekkamsa roobeen saboota keessaa isinan fida; biyyoota isin itti bibittinnooftan keessaas walitti isinan qaba.
And will bring you from the people, and will gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,
35 Ani gammoojjii sabootaatti isin fidee achitti ifaan ifatti isinitti nan mura.
And I will bring you into the wildernes of the people, and there wil I pleade with you face to face.
36 Ani akkuman biyya Gibxitti abbootii keessanitti mure sana isinittis nan mura, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wildernes of the lande of Egypt, so will I pleade with you, saith the Lord God.
37 Ani akka isin ulee koo jalaan lootan nan godha; hidhaa kakuuttis isin nan galcha.
And I wil cause you to passe vnder the rod, and wil bring you into the bond of the couenant.
38 Warra natti kaʼanii natti fincilan isin keessaa nan baasa. Biyya isaan jiraachaa turan sana keessaa isaan nan baasa; garuu isaan biyya Israaʼel hin seenan. Kanaanis isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
And I wil chuse out from among you the rebels, and them that transgresse against mee: I will bring them out of the land where they dwel, and they shall not enter into the lande of Israel, and you shall knowe that I am the Lord.
39 “‘Yaa mana Israaʼel waaʼee keessan garuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Tokkoon tokkoon keessan dhaqaatii waaqota tolfamoo keessan tajaajilaa! Ergasii garuu dhugumaan na dhaggeeffattu; kennaa fi waaqota keessaniinis lammata maqaa koo qulqullicha hin xureessitan.
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God, Goe you, and serue euery one his idole, seeing that ye will not obey me, and pollute mine holy Name no more with your giftes and with your idoles.
40 Tulluu koo qulqullicha irratti, tulluu Israaʼel dheeraa sana irratti, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan, achitti guutummaan mana Israaʼel na tajaajilu; anis achitti isaan nan simadha. Achittis buusii keessanii fi kennaa keessan filatamaa sana aarsaa keessan qulqulluu hunda wajjin nan barbaada.
For in mine holy mountaine, euen in the hie mountaine of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, and all in the lande, serue me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offrings and the first fruites of your oblations, with all your holy things.
41 Ani yeroon saboota keessaa isin baasee biyyoota isin itti bittinnooftanii turtan keessaa walitti isin qabutti, ixaana urgaaʼaa godhadhee isin nan simadha; fuula sabootaa durattis isin gidduutti qulqulluu taʼuu koo of nan mulʼisa.
I will accept your sweete sauour, when I bring you from the people, and gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye haue bene scattered, that I may be sanctified in you before ye heathen.
42 Yeroo ani biyya Israaʼel, biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kennuuf harka ol qabadheen kakadhee ture sanatti isin galchutti isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande to giue it to your fathers.
43 Achitti isin amala keessanii fi gochawwan ittiin of xureessitan hunda ni yaadattu; hammina hojjettan hundaafis of balfitu.
And there shall ye remember your wayes, and all your workes, wherein ye haue bene defiled, and ye shall iudge your selues worthy to be cut off, for all your euils, that ye haue committed.
44 Yaa mana Israaʼel, yeroo ani utuu akka hammina keessaniittii fi akka hojii keessan fokkisaa sanaatti hin taʼin, maqaa kootiif jedhee isinii araaramutti, isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I haue respect vnto you for my Names sake, and not after your wicked wayes, nor according to your corrupt workes, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
45 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
46 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara kibbaatti garagalfadhu; biyya kibbaatti lallabiitii bosona biyya Negeebiitiin mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu.
Sonne of man, set thy face toward the way of Teman, and drop thy word toward the South, and prophecie towarde the forest of the fielde of the South,
47 Bosona Negeebiin akkana jedhi: ‘Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi. Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani ibidda sitti qabsiisuufan jira; innis mukkeen kee hunda jiidhaa fi goggogaa illee ni fixa. Arrabni isaa hin dhaamu; wanni kibbaa hamma kaabaatti jiru hundinuus ni gubama.
And say to the forest of the South, Heare the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall deuoure all the greene wood in thee, and all the drie wood: the continuall flame shall not bee quenched, and euery face from the South to the North shall be burnt therein.
48 Namni hundinuus akka ani Waaqayyo ibidda sana qabsiise ni beeka; ibiddi sunis hin dhaamu.’”
And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord haue kindled it, and it shall not bee quenched.
49 Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani bade! Isaan waaʼee koo, ‘Inni fakkeenya dubbata mitii?’ anaan jedhu” jedhe.
Then saide I, Ah Lord God, they say of me, Doeth not he speake parables?
