Hisqiʼeel 22
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, isheetti murtaa? Magaalaa dhiiga dhangalaaftu kanatti ni murtaa? Yoos hojii ishee jibbisiisaa sana itti himi;
“As for you, son of man, will you judge her? Will you pass judgment on the city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her abominations
3 akkanas jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa magaalaa of keessatti dhiiga dhangalaasuudhaan badii ofitti fiddee waaqota tolfamoo tolchuudhaan of xureessitu,
and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and making idols to defile herself,
4 ati sababii dhiiga dhangalaafte sanaatiif yakka hojjetteerta; sababii waaqota tolfamoo tolchiteef immoo xuroofteerta. Ati bara kee gabaabsiteerta; xumuramuun bara keetiis dhiʼaateera. Kanaafuu ani namoota ormaa biratti tuffatamtuu, biyyoota hundaaf immoo waan qoosaa sin taasisa.
you are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.
5 Yaa magaalaa salphatee gooliin si keessa guute, warri dhiʼoo fi fagoo jiraatan sitti qoosu.
Those near and far will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.
6 “‘Akka tokkoon tokkoon ilmaan moototaa kanneen si keessa jiraatan humna isaaniitti fayyadamanii dhiiga dhangalaasan ilaali.
See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.
7 Abbootii fi haadhonni si keessatti salphifaman; alagoonni ni hacuucaman; ijoolleen abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhonni hiyyeessaa si keessatti miidhaman.
Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.
8 Ati miʼoota koo qulqulluu tuffattee Sanbata koos xureessite.
You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.
9 Namoonni dhiiga dhangalaasuuf maqaa nama balleessan si keessa jiru; warri galma waaqeffannaa tulluuwwan irraattii nyaatanii fi sagaagalan si keessa jiru.
Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency.
10 Namoonni siree abbaa isaanii xureessan si keessa jiru; namoonni dubartoota xurii jiʼaa qaban kanneen akka seeraatti qulqulluu hin taʼin wajjin ciisanis si keessa jiru.
In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity.
11 Si keessatti namni tokko niitii ollaa isaa wajjin waan jibbisiisaa hojjeta; kaan haala fokkisaadhaan niitii ilma isaa xureessa; kaan immoo obboleettii isaa, intaluma abbaa isaa xureessa.
One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
12 Namoonni dhiiga dhangalaasuuf jedhanii si keessatti mattaʼaa fudhatu; atis hiiqii fi dhala fudhachuudhaan ollaa kee irraa buʼaa hin malle argachaa jirta. Ati na irraanfatteerta, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
13 “‘Ani dhugumaan buʼaa ati karaa hin malleen argattee fi dhiiga ati gidduu keetti dhangalaafte sanaaf harka koo walitti nan rurrukuta.
Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.
14 Gaafa ani si adabutti garaan kee jabaatee dhaabachuu yookaan harki kee humna qabaachuu dandaʼaa? Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheera; waan kanas nan godha.
Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.
15 Ani saboota keessa sin bittinneessa; biyyoota keessas sin facaasa; xuraaʼummaa kees sirraa nan qulqulleessa.
I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.
16 Ati yeroo fuula sabootaa duratti xurooftetti akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta.’”
And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
17 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Yaa ilma namaa, manni Israaʼel udaan sibiilaa natti taʼeera; hundi isaanii naasii, qorqorroo, sibiilaa fi dilaalii boolla ibiddaa keessatti dhiifame natti taʼaniiru. Isaan udaanuma meetiiti malee homaa miti.
“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.
19 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo gooftaan akkana jedha: ‘Sababii hundi keessan udaan sibiilaa taataniif, ani Yerusaalem keessatti walittan isin qaba.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
20 Akkuma namoonni meetii, naasii, sibiila, dilaalii fi qorqorroo baqsuuf jedhanii boolla ibiddaatti guuran sana, anis aarii fi dheekkamsa kootiin walitti isin qabee magaalaa keessatti isinan baqsa.
Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to melt with a fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and melt you.
21 Ani walitti isin qabee ibidda dheekkamsa kootii isinitti nan buufa; isinis ishee keessatti ni baqfamtu.
Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
22 Akkuma meetiin boolla ibiddaa keessatti baqfamu sana, isinis ishee keessatti ni baqfamtu; akka ani Waaqayyo dheekkamsa koo isinitti roobses ni beektu.’”
As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”
23 Ammas dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
24 “Yaa ilma namaa biyya sanaan, ‘Ati biyya hin qulqulleeffamin yookaan kan bara dheekkamsaa keessa bokkaan itti hin roobinii dha’ jedhi.
“Son of man, say to her, ‘In the day of indignation, you are a land that has not been cleansed, upon which no rain has fallen.’
25 Ilmaan mootota ishee akkuma leenca waan adamsate ciccirachaa aaduu ti; isaan saba nyaatu; qabeenyaa fi miʼoota gatii guddaa saamuudhaan dubartoota hedduu dhirsa malee hambisu.
The conspiracy of the princes in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing its prey. They devour the people, seize the treasures and precious things, and multiply the widows within her.
26 Luboonni ishee seera koo cabsanii miʼoota koo qulqulluu xureessu; isaan waan qulqullaaʼee fi waan hin qulqullaaʼin gargar hin baasan; kan hin qulqullaaʼinii fi kan qulqullaaʼe gidduu garaa garummaan hin jiru jedhanii barsiisu; akka ani isaan gidduutti tuffatamuuf Sanbatoota koo eeguu irraa ija isaanii dunuunfatu.
Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
27 Ishee keessatti qondaaltonni ishee akkuma yeeyyiiwwan waan adamsatan ciccirachaa jiranii ti; isaan buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii dhiiga dhangalaasu; namootas ni ajjeesu.
Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives for dishonest gain.
28 Raajonni ishees hojii kana mulʼata sobaatii fi raajii sobaatiin haguugu. Isaan utuma Waaqayyo hin dubbatin, ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha’ jedhu.
Her prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
29 Sabni biyya sanaa ni cunqursu; ni saamus; murtii qajeelaa gananii hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota hacuucu; alagootas ni miidhu.
The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and have exploited the foreign resident without justice.
30 “Nama akka ani biyyattii hin balleessineef dallaa ijaaree biyyattiidhaaf jedhee karaa qaawwaatiin fuula koo dura dhaabatu isaan gidduu nan barbaade; garuu nama tokko illee hin arganne.
I searched for a man among them to repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it. But I found no one.
31 Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee ibidda aarii kootiitiin isaan nan fixa; waan isaan godhan hunda mataa isaaniitti nan fida, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
So I have poured out My indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
