Hisqiʼeel 21
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The word of ye Lord came to me againe, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara Yerusaalemitti garagalfadhuutii iddoo qulqulluu kanaan mormii lallabi. Biyya Israaʼeliinis mormii raajii dubbadhu;
Sonne of man, set thy face toward Ierusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophecie 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.
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I come against thee, and will drawe my sword out of his sheath, and cut off from thee both 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 thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sworde goe out of his 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.’
That all flesh may knowe that I the Lord haue drawen my sworde out of his sheath, and it shall not returne any more.
6 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, aadi! Fuula isaanii duratti garaa cabaa fi gadda hadhaaʼaadhaan aadi.
Mourne therefore, thou sonne of man, as in the paine of thy reines, and mourne bitterly before them.
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.”
And if they say vnto thee, Wherefore mournest thou? then answere, Because of the bruite: for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all handes shall be weake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water: beholde, it commeth, and shall be done, saith the Lord God.
8 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
9 “Yaa ilma namaa, raajii dubbadhuutii, ‘Gooftaan akkana jedha’ jedhi: “‘Goraadee! Goraadee! Goraadee qaramee cululuqfame,
Sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sworde, a sworde both sharpe, and fourbished.
10 kan ajjeesuuf qarame, akka balaqqee calaqqisuudhaaf cululuqfame! “‘Nu bokkuu ilma koo Yihuudaatiin gammannaa? Goraadeen ulee akkasii hunda tuffata.
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, and it is fourbished that it may glitter: how shall we reioyce? for it contemneth the rod of my sonne, as all other trees.
11 “‘Goraadeen akka harkaan qabatamuuf cululuqfamuuf ramadameera; harka warra nama qaluutti kennamuuf qaramee cululuqfameera.
And he hath giuen it to be fourbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharpe, and is fourbished, that he may giue it into ye hand of the slayer.
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 houle, sonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terrours of the sword shall be vpon my people: smite therefore vpon thy thigh.
13 “‘Qorumsi dhugumaan ni dhufa. Yoo bokkuun goraadeen tuffate sun itti fufuu baate hoo? jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’
For it is a triall, and what shall this be, if the sworde contemne euen the rodde? It shall be no more, saith 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.
Thou therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and smite hand to hand, and let the sworde be doubled: let the sworde that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entring into their priuie chambers.
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 haue brought the feare of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiplie their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed for the slaughter.
16 Yaa goraadee, kallattii qara keetii hundaan karaa mirgaatiinis, karaa bitaatiinis kuti.
Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth.
17 Anis harka koo walitti nan rurrukuta; dheekkamsi koos ni qabbanaaʼa. Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheeraa.”
I wil also smite mine hands together, and wil cause my wrath to cease. I the Lord haue said it.
18 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The worde of the Lord came vnto mee againe, 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 thou sonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the sworde of the King of Babel may come: both twaine shall come out of one lande, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie.
20 Goraadee Rabbaa Amoonotaatti dhufuuf daandii tokko mallattoo godhadhu; kan Yihuudaa fi magaalaa Yerusaalem ishee daʼannoo qabdu sanatti dhufu immoo daandii lammaffaa mallattoo godhadhu.
Appoint a way, that the sworde may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Iudah in Ierusalem the strong citie.
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.
And the King of Babel stoode at the parting of the way, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright: hee consulted with idoles, and looked in the liuer.
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.
At his right hand was the diuination for Ierusalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift vp their voyce with shouting, to laye engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builde a fortresse.
23 Wanni kunis warra isa wajjin kakuu galaniif milkii sobaa fakkaata; inni garuu dogoggora isaanii isaan yaadachiisee boojuudhaan isaan fudhata.
And it shalbe vnto them as a false diuination in their sight for the othes made vnto them: but hee will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should 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 thus sayeth the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to bee remembred, in discouering your rebellion, that in al your workes your sinnes might appeare: because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 “‘Yaa ilma mootii Israaʼel xuraaʼaa fi hamaa nana, kan guyyaan kee dhiʼaate, kan yeroon adabama keetii fiixee gaʼe,
And thou prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an ende,
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.
Thus saith the Lord God, I will take away the diademe, and take off the crowne: this shalbe no more the same: I wil exalt the humble, and will abase him that is hie.
27 Diigama! Diigama! Ani ishee nan diiga! Hamma namni isheen isaaf maltu dhufutti isheen akka kanaan duraa hin taatu; ishees isaaf nan kenna.’
I wil ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more vntill he come, whose right it is, and I will giue it him.
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!
And thou, sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: say thou, I say, The sword, the sword is drawen foorth, and fourbished to the slaughter, to consume, because of the glittering:
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.
Whiles they see vanitie vnto thee, and prophecied a lie vnto thee to bring thee vpon the neckes of the wicked that are slaine, whose day is come when their iniquitie shall haue an ende.
30 Goraadee manʼee isaatti deebisi; iddoo ati itti dhalattetti, biyya akaakayyuu keetiitti, ani sitti nan mura.
Shall I cause it to returne into his sheath? I will iudge thee in the place where thou wast created, euen in the land of thine habitation.
31 Ani dheekkamsa koo sirratti nan dhangalaasa; ibidda aarii kootiis sitti nan buufa; ani namoota hamoo kanneen balleessuudhaan beekamanitti dabarsee sin kenna.
And I wil powre out mine indignation vpon thee, and will blowe against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of beastly men, and skilfull to destroy.
32 Ati qoraan ibiddaa taata; dhiigni kee biyya kee keessatti dhangalaʼa; siʼachi hin yaadatamtu; ani Waaqayyo dubbadheeraatii.’”
Thou shalt bee in the fire to be deuoured: thy blood shall be in the middes of the lande, and thou shalt be no more remembred: for I the Lord haue spoken it.
