Hisqiʼeel 21
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara Yerusaalemitti garagalfadhuutii iddoo qulqulluu kanaan mormii lallabi. Biyya Israaʼeliinis mormii raajii dubbadhu;
“Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.
3 akkanas isheen jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani sitti nan kaʼa. Goraadee koo manʼee isaa keessaa luqqifadhee nama qajeelaas, hamaas si keessaa nan balleessa.
Tell the land of Israel, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
4 Waan ani nama qajeelaas, nama hamaas balleessuudhaaf goraadeen koo saba kibbaa hamma kaabaatti jirutti ni luqqifama.
Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
5 Akka ani Waaqayyo goraadee koo manʼee isaa keessaa luqqifadhe, namni hundi ni beeka; innis manʼee isaatti hin deebiʼu.’
All flesh will know that I, the LORD, have drawn my sword out of its sheath. It will not return any more.”’
6 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, aadi! Fuula isaanii duratti garaa cabaa fi gadda hadhaaʼaadhaan aadi.
“Therefore sigh, you son of man. You shall sigh before their eyes with a broken heart and with bitterness.
7 Yommuu isaan, ‘Ati maaliif aadda?’ jedhanii si gaafatanitti, ‘Sababii oduu dhagaʼamaa jiruutiif. Onneen hundi ni baqxi; harki hundis ni laafa; hafuurri hundi ni gaggaba; jilbi hundis bishaan taʼa.’ Oduuni sun dhagaʼamaa jira! Dhugumaanis ni taʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
It shall be, when they ask you, ‘Why do you sigh?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it comes! Every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord GOD.’”
8 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9 “Yaa ilma namaa, raajii dubbadhuutii, ‘Gooftaan akkana jedha’ jedhi: “‘Goraadee! Goraadee! Goraadee qaramee cululuqfame,
“Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says: “A sword! A sword! It is sharpened, and also polished.
10 kan ajjeesuuf qarame, akka balaqqee calaqqisuudhaaf cululuqfame! “‘Nu bokkuu ilma koo Yihuudaatiin gammannaa? Goraadeen ulee akkasii hunda tuffata.
It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns every tree.
11 “‘Goraadeen akka harkaan qabatamuuf cululuqfamuuf ramadameera; harka warra nama qaluutti kennamuuf qaramee cululuqfameera.
It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
12 Yaa ilma namaa, kun saba kootti, ilmaan mootota Israaʼel hundatti dhufeeraatii, iyyii wawwaadhu. Isaan saba koo wajjin goraadeedhaaf kennamaniiru. Kanaafuu ati laphee kee rukuti.
Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh.
13 “‘Qorumsi dhugumaan ni dhufa. Yoo bokkuun goraadeen tuffate sun itti fufuu baate hoo? jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’
“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.
14 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, ati raajii dubbadhu; harka kees walitti rurrukuti. Goraadeen yeroo lama, yeroo sadiis haa dhaʼu. Goraadeen kun goraadee nama fixu, goraadee akka malee nama fixu, kan qixa hundaan isaan marsuu dha.
“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
15 Kunis akka onneen baqxee hedduun isaanii barbadeeffamaniif ani balbala isaanii hunda dura ajjeechaaf goraadee kaaʼeera. Wayyoo! Inni akka calaqqisuuf haxaaʼameera; inni nama ajjeesuuf cululuqfame.
I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
16 Yaa goraadee, kallattii qara keetii hundaan karaa mirgaatiinis, karaa bitaatiinis kuti.
Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
17 Anis harka koo walitti nan rurrukuta; dheekkamsi koos ni qabbanaaʼa. Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheeraa.”
I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
18 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
19 “Yaa ilma namaa, akka goraadeen mootii Baabilon ittiin dhufuuf daandii lama baasi; lachanuu biyyuma tokkoo kaʼu. Iddoo daandiin sun gara magaalaatti goru irras mallattoo dhaabi.
“Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
20 Goraadee Rabbaa Amoonotaatti dhufuuf daandii tokko mallattoo godhadhu; kan Yihuudaa fi magaalaa Yerusaalem ishee daʼannoo qabdu sanatti dhufu immoo daandii lammaffaa mallattoo godhadhu.
You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
21 Mootiin Baabilon milkii ilaallachuuf jedhee iddoo daandiin sun wal gaʼu irra, fiixee daandiiwwan lamaanii irra dhaabata; innis xiyyaan ixaa buufata; waaqota isaa tolfamoo sanaan ni mariʼata; tiruus ni ilaallata.
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in the liver.
22 Akka inni waan ittiin dallaa diigu dhaabuuf, akka ajaja ajjeechaa kennuuf, akka waca waraanaa dhageessisuuf, akka waan ittiin dallaa diigan karra dura kaaʼuuf, akka biyyoo tuuluu fi akka daʼannoo hojjetuuf harka isaa mirgaatti ixaan Yerusaalemiif baʼe.
In his right hand was the lot for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, and to build forts.
23 Wanni kunis warra isa wajjin kakuu galaniif milkii sobaa fakkaata; inni garuu dogoggora isaanii isaan yaadachiisee boojuudhaan isaan fudhata.
It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
24 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: ‘Isin sababii akka cubbuun keessan waan isin hojjettan hunda keessatti mulʼatuuf, akka balleessaan keessan hin dhokanne gochuudhaan waan akka yakki keessan yaadatamu gootaniif jechuunis waan akkana gootaniif ni boojiʼamtu.
“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you will be taken with the hand.
25 “‘Yaa ilma mootii Israaʼel xuraaʼaa fi hamaa nana, kan guyyaan kee dhiʼaate, kan yeroon adabama keetii fiixee gaʼe,
“‘You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
26 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Marata of irraa hiiki; gonfoos of irraa fuudhi. Wanti akka amma jirutti hafu hin jiru; kan gad qabame ol qabama; kan ol qabame immoo gad qabama.
the Lord GOD says: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This will not be as it was. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which is high.
27 Diigama! Diigama! Ani ishee nan diiga! Hamma namni isheen isaaf maltu dhufutti isheen akka kanaan duraa hin taatu; ishees isaaf nan kenna.’
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also will be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it.”’
28 “Yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii raajii dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan waaʼee Amoonotaa fi arrabsoo isaanii akkana jedha: “‘Goraadee, goraadee, kan ajjeesuuf luqqifame, akka fixuu fi akka calaqqisuuf kan haxaaʼame!
“You, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘The Lord GOD says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: “A sword! A sword is drawn! It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
29 Mulʼanni sobaa waaʼee keetiif, raajiin sobaa siif jiraatu iyyuu, inni morma hamoota ajjeefamuu qaban kanneen guyyaan isaanii dhiʼaate, warra yeroon adabbii isaanii gaʼe irra ni kaaʼama.
while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 Goraadee manʼee isaatti deebisi; iddoo ati itti dhalattetti, biyya akaakayyuu keetiitti, ani sitti nan mura.
Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
31 Ani dheekkamsa koo sirratti nan dhangalaasa; ibidda aarii kootiis sitti nan buufa; ani namoota hamoo kanneen balleessuudhaan beekamanitti dabarsee sin kenna.
I will pour out my indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
32 Ati qoraan ibiddaa taata; dhiigni kee biyya kee keessatti dhangalaʼa; siʼachi hin yaadatamtu; ani Waaqayyo dubbadheeraatii.’”
You will be for fuel to the fire. Your blood will be in the middle of the land. You will be remembered no more; for I, the LORD, have spoken it.”’”
