Hisqiʼeel 22
1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, isheetti murtaa? Magaalaa dhiiga dhangalaaftu kanatti ni murtaa? Yoos hojii ishee jibbisiisaa sana itti himi;
Thou therefore son of man, Wilt thou judge wilt thou judge the city of bloodshed; and cause her to know all her abominations?
3 akkanas jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa magaalaa of keessatti dhiiga dhangalaasuudhaan badii ofitti fiddee waaqota tolfamoo tolchuudhaan of xureessitu,
Thou shalt say then Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, A city shedding blood in her own midst That her time might come, Therefore hath she been making manufactured gods for herself, to be defiled.
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.
Because of the blood which thou hast shed, hast thou become guilty. And with the manufactured gods which thou hast made, hast thou defiled thyself, Thus hast thou brought near thy days, And hast come unto thy years, — For this cause, have I delivered thee As a reproach to the nations, And as a derision to all the lands.
5 Yaa magaalaa salphatee gooliin si keessa guute, warri dhiʼoo fi fagoo jiraatan sitti qoosu.
They who are near and they who are far off from thee shall shew themselves derisive over thee, — O thou of impure name, abounding in confusion!
6 “‘Akka tokkoon tokkoon ilmaan moototaa kanneen si keessa jiraatan humna isaaniitti fayyadamanii dhiiga dhangalaasan ilaali.
Lo! the princes of Israel, every man for his own arm, have they been in thee, For the sake of shedding blood.
7 Abbootii fi haadhonni si keessatti salphifaman; alagoonni ni hacuucaman; ijoolleen abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhonni hiyyeessaa si keessatti miidhaman.
Father and mother, have they despised in thee, To the sojourner, have they dealt with oppression in the midst of thee, — The fatherless and the widow, have they maltreated in thee:
8 Ati miʼoota koo qulqulluu tuffattee Sanbata koos xureessite.
My holy things, hast thou despised, - And my sabbaths, hast thou profaned:
9 Namoonni dhiiga dhangalaasuuf maqaa nama balleessan si keessa jiru; warri galma waaqeffannaa tulluuwwan irraattii nyaatanii fi sagaagalan si keessa jiru.
Slanders, have arisen in thee For the sake of shedding blood, - And unto the mountains, have they eaten in thee, Lewdness, have they practised in the midst of thee:
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.
A father’s shame hath been uncovered in thee, Her that was unclean in her removal, have they humbled in thee;
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.
And, one man, with the wife of his neighbour, hath wrought abomination, And another, hath defiled, his daughter-in-law, by shameful deed, — And another, his own sister daughter of his own father, hath humbled in thee:
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.
Bribes, have they accepted in thee, For the sake of shedding blood, -Interest and increase, hast thou accepted And thou hast overreached thy neighbour by oppression, And me, hast thou forgotten, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
13 “‘Ani dhugumaan buʼaa ati karaa hin malleen argattee fi dhiiga ati gidduu keetti dhangalaafte sanaaf harka koo walitti nan rurrukuta.
Lo! therefore I have smitten my hand, At thine unjust gain which thou hast made— And over thy bloodshed, which they have caused in thy midst.
14 Gaafa ani si adabutti garaan kee jabaatee dhaabachuu yookaan harki kee humna qabaachuu dandaʼaa? Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheera; waan kanas nan godha.
Can thy heart endure or can thy hands be strong in the days when I am dealing with thee? I. Yahweh have spoken and will perform.
15 Ani saboota keessa sin bittinneessa; biyyoota keessas sin facaasa; xuraaʼummaa kees sirraa nan qulqulleessa.
Therefore will I disperse thee among the nations, And scatter thee throughout the lands, — And will cause to cease thine impurity out of thee;
16 Ati yeroo fuula sabootaa duratti xurooftetti akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta.’”
So shalt thou be profaned in thyself, before the eyes of nations, Thus shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh.
17 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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 hath become to me, dross, — They all are copper and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace, The dross of silver, have they become.
19 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo gooftaan akkana jedha: ‘Sababii hundi keessan udaan sibiilaa taataniif, ani Yerusaalem keessatti walittan isin qaba.
Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye all are become dross, Therefore, behold me! gathering you into the midst of 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.
As they gather silver and copper and iron and lead and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow upon it the fire to melt it, So, will I gather in mine anger and in mine indignation, and will let be and will melt you;
21 Ani walitti isin qabee ibidda dheekkamsa kootii isinitti nan buufa; isinis ishee keessatti ni baqfamtu.
Yea I will gather you together, and blow upon you, with the fire of my wrath, — And ye shall be melted in the midst thereof:
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 he midst of a furnace, So, shall ye be melted in the midst thereof, — Then shall ye know that, I Yahweh, have poured out mine indignation upon you.
23 Ammas dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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. Thou, art a land, that is not to be rained upon, nor to receive fruitful showers, in the day of indignation.
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.
Because her princes in her midst are like a roaring lion rending prey, — Life, have they devoured Wealth and precious things, have they been wont to take, Her widows, have they multiplied in her midst.
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 have done violence to my law And have profaned my holy things, Between the hallowed and the common, have they put no difference, And between the unclean and clean, have they not taught men to discern, - And from my sabbaths, have they hid their eyes, So that I have been profaned in their midst.
27 Ishee keessatti qondaaltonni ishee akkuma yeeyyiiwwan waan adamsatan ciccirachaa jiranii ti; isaan buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii dhiiga dhangalaasu; namootas ni ajjeesu.
Her rulers within her have been like wolves, rending prey, - In shedding blood In destroying lives, For the sake of getting dishonest gain.
28 Raajonni ishees hojii kana mulʼata sobaatii fi raajii sobaatiin haguugu. Isaan utuma Waaqayyo hin dubbatin, ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha’ jedhu.
And her prophets have coated it for them with whitewash, Seeing visions of falsehood And divining for them lies, Saying, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh, hath 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 exacted oppression, and seized plunder, - Even the afflicted and the needy, have they maltreated, And the sojourner have they oppressed 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.
Then sought I from among them, a man Who could build up a wall And stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land So that I might not destroy her, — But I found none.
31 Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee ibidda aarii kootiitiin isaan nan fixa; waan isaan godhan hunda mataa isaaniitti nan fida, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
Therefore have I poured out upon them mine indignation, In the fire of mine outburst, have I consumed them, — Their way, upon their own head, have I placed Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
