< Hisqiʼeel 23 >
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, dubartoota lama, intallan haadha tokkootu ture.
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
3 Isaanis shamarrummaa isaaniitii jalqabanii sagaagalummaadhaaf of kennuudhaan biyya Gibxi keessatti sagaagaltoota taʼan. Biyya sanattis harmi isaanii ni tuttuqame; fiixeen guntuta isaanii kan yeroo durbummaa immoo ni qaqqabatame.
And they played the harlot in Egypt. They played the harlot in their youth. There their breasts were pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
4 Ishee hangafni Oholaa, obboleettiin ishee immoo Oholaa jedhamte. Isaanis kan koo turan; ilmaanii fi intallanis daʼan. Aholaan Samaariyaa dha; Oholiibaan immoo Yerusaalemii dha.
And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. And they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 “Oholaan utuma kan koo taatee jirtuu sagaagalummaa jalqabde; isheenis michoota ishee jechuunis loltoota Asoor kajeelte;
And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine, and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6 isaanis loltoota wayyaa bifa cuquliisaa uffatan, bulchitootaa fi ajajjoota; isaan hundinuus namoota mimmiidhagoo kanneen farda yaabbatan turan.
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7 Isheenis hayyoota Asoor hundaaf sagaagalummaadhaan of kennite; waaqota tolfamoo namoota isheen kajeelte sanaa hundaanis of xureessite.
And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them. And on whomever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 Isheen sagaagalummaa ishee kan biyya Gibxi keessatti jalqabde sana hin dhiifne; yeroo shamarrummaa isheetti namoonni ishee wajjin ciisan fiixee guntuta ishee kan yeroo durbummaa qaqqabatanii dharraa sagaagalummaa isaanii ishee irratti dhangalaasan.
Neither has she left her whoredoms since Egypt. For in her youth they lie with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity, and they poured out their whoredom upon her.
9 “Kanaafuu ani michoota ishee, Asoorota isheen dharraatetti dabarsee ishee nan kenne.
Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10 Isaanis qullaa ishee mulʼisan; ilmaanii fi intallan ishee ni fudhatan; goraadeedhaanis ishee ajjeesan. Isheen dubartoota keessatti waan kolfaa taatee murtiin ishee irratti raawwatame.
These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a byword among women, for they executed judgments upon her.
11 “Obboleettiin ishee Oholiibaa waan kana argitee turte; taʼus isheen dharraa isheetii fi sagaagalummaa isheetiin obboleettii ishee caalaa xuroofte.
And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.
12 Akkasumas isheen Asoorota jechuunis bulchitootaa fi ajajjoota, loltoota wayyaa irraa fi jalaa uffatan, namoota farda yaabbatan kanneen hundi isaanii dargaggeeyyii mimmiidhagoo taʼan dharraate.
She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 Ani akka isheenis of xureessite nan arge; lachan isaanii iyyuu daandii tokko irra deemu.
And I saw that she was defiled. They both took one way.
14 “Isheen garuu sagaagalummaa ishee ittuma fufte. Fakkii namootaa kan keenyan manaa irratti fakkeeffame, fakkiiwwan Kaldootaa kan halluu diimaadhaan fakkeeffame,
And she increased her whoredoms, for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 kan mudhii isaanii irraa sabbata, mataa isaanii irraa immoo marata qaban argite; isaan hundi ajajjoota gaarii waraanaa kan Baabilonotaa, dhalattoota biyya Kaldootaa fakkaatu ture.
girded with belts upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them rulers to look upon, according to the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
16 Isheenis akkuma isaan argiteen isaan dharraatee gara biyya Kaldootaatti ergamoota isaanitti ergatte.
And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 Warri Baabilonis gara ishee, gara siree jaalalaa seenanii dharraa sagaagalummaa isaaniitiin ishee xureessan. Isheenis erga isaaniin xurooftee booddee jibbitee isaan irraa garagalte.
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love. And they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 Yeroo isheen ifaan ifatti sagaagalummaa ishee itti fuftee qullaa of dhaabdetti, ani akkuman obboleettii ishee irraa gara gale sana jibbaan ishee irraa nan gara gale.
So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Taʼus isheen akkuma yeroo shamarrummaa ishee, yeroo biyya Gibxi keessatti sagaagaltuu turte sana yaadatteen sagaagalummaa ishee ittuma fufte.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth in which she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 Isheenis achitti michoota ishee kanneen dhagni saala isaanii, dhagna hormaata korma harree fakkaatu, fincaan isaanii kan dhiiraa immoo fincaan korma fardaa fakkaatu sana dharraate.
And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Kanaafuu ati addaggummaa yeroo shamarrummaa keetii kan yeroo biyya Gibxi turtetti harmi kee qaqqabatamee guntunni kee immoo tuttuqame sana yaadatte.
Thus thou called to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.
22 “Kanaafuu yaa Oholiibaa, Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani michoota kee kanneen ati xireeffattee irraa garagalte sana sitti kaasee qixa hundaan sitti nan fida.
Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:
23 Isaan kunneenis Baabilonotaa fi Kaldoota hunda, namoota Pheqood kan Shooʼaatii fi Qoʼaa turan; isaan wajjinis Asoorota hundattu ture; Asooronni kunneenis dargaggeeyyii mimmiidhagoo hundi isaanii bulchitootaa fi ajajjoota waraanaa, ajajjoota gaarii waraanaatii fi namoota sadarkaa ol aanaa kanneen hundi isaanii fardaan deeman turan.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, rulers and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses.
24 Isaanis miʼa lolaatii fi gaarii waraanaa, gaariiwwan biraatii fi tuuta uummataa wajjin sitti dhufu; isaanis gaachana guddaa fi xinnaan, gonfoo sibiilaatiin qixa hundaan sitti hiriiru; ani dabarsee isaanitti adabbiif sin kenna; isaan akkuma seera isaaniitti si adabu.
And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about. And I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
25 Ani dheekkamsa koo sitti nan erga; isaanis aariidhaan sirra yaaʼu. Funyaanii fi gurra kee sirraa kutu; warri si keessaa hafan iyyuu goraadeedhaan dhumu. Isaan ilmaan keetii fi intallan kee fudhatanii deemu. Warri si keessaa hafan immoo ibiddaan barbadeeffamu.
And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury. They shall take away thy nose and thine ears, and thy residue shall fall by the sword. They shall take thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Akkasumas wayyaa kee sirraa baafatanii faaya kee miidhagaa fudhatu.
They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
27 Akkasiin ani addaggummaa fi sagaagalummaa ati biyya Gibxitti jalqabde sana nan dhaaba. Ati dharraadhaan wantoota kanneen hin ilaaltu yookaan lammata biyya Gibxi hin yaadattu.
Thus I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom from the land of Egypt, so that thou shall not lift up thine eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 “Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Ani warra ati jibbite, kanneen ati xireeffattee irraa garagalte sanatti dabarsee sin kenna.
For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of those whom thou hate, into the hand of those from whom thy soul is alienated.
29 Isaanis jibbaan sitti dhufanii waan ati itti dadhabde hunda sirraa fudhatu. Qullaa fi harka duwwaa si hambisu; qaaniin sagaagalummaa keetiis ifatti baʼa. Addaggummaan keetii fi halalummaan kee,
And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare. And the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
30 waan kana sitti fidaniiru; ati saboota ormaa dharraatee waaqota isaanii tolfamoodhaan of xureessiteertaatii.
These things shall be done to thee, because thou have played the harlot after the nations, and because thou are polluted with their idols.
31 Ati karaa obboleettiin kee deemte irra deemteerta; kanaafuu ani harka kee keessa xoofoo ishee nan kaaʼa.
Thou have walked in the way of thy sister, therefore I will give her cup into thy hand.
32 “Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Atis xoofoo guddaa fi gad fagoo, xoofoo obboleettii keetii ni dhugda; ati arrabsoo fi tuffii ni quufta; xoofoon sun dhugaatii baayʼee qabataatii.
Thus says the lord Jehovah: Thou shall drink of thy sister's cup, which is deep and large. Thou shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision. It contains much.
33 Ati xoofoo obboleettii keetii kan Samaariyaatiin, xoofoo diigamuutii fi badiisaatiin, kan machiitii fi gaddaatiin ni guutamta.
Thou shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
34 Ati ni dhugda; keessaas ni fixxa; xoofoo sana ni caccabsita; harma kee of irraa ciccirta. Ani waan kana dubbadheera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Thou shall even drink it and drain it out. And thou shall gnaw the shards of it, and shall tear thy breasts, for I have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah.
35 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ati waan na irraanfattee duubatti na gatteef gatii addaggummaa keetiitii fi sagaagalummaa keetii ni argatta.”
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because thou have forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore thou also bear thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
36 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa, ati Oholaa fi Oholiibaatti ni murtaa? Yoos hojii isaanii jibbisiisaa sana isaanitti himi;
Jehovah said moreover to me, Son of man, will thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
37 isaan sagaagalaniiru; dhiigni harka isaanii irra jira. Isaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoo wajjin sagaagalaniiru; isaan ijoollee naaf daʼan iyyuu nyaata godhanii isaaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaniiru.
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. And with their idols they have committed adultery. And they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire for them to be devoured.
38 Dabalaniis waan kana narratti raawwatan: Yeruma sana iddoo koo qulqulluu xureessan; Sanbatoota koos ni salphisan.
Moreover they have done this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
39 Gaafuma ijoollee isaanii waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa godhanitti iddoo koo qulqulluu seenanii xureessan. Wanni isaan mana koo keessatti godhan kanaa dha.
For when they had slain their sons to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it, and, lo, thus they have done in the midst of my house.
40 “Akka namoonni biyya fagootii dhufaniif ergamoota itti ergan; isaanis ni dhufan; yommuu isaan dhufanittis ati dhagna kee dhiqattee, ija kee kuulattee faaya kee kaaʼatte.
And furthermore ye have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent. And, lo, they came, for whom thou washed thyself, painted thine eyes, and decked thyself with ornaments,
41 Ati siree ulfinaa irra teesse; fuula siree sanaa dura minjaala keesse; minjaala sana irras ixaana kootii fi zayitii koo keesse.
and sat upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou did set my incense and my oil.
42 “Wacni fandalaltootaa naannoo isheetti dhagaʼame; machooftonni namoota wacan sana wajjin gammoojjiidhaa dhufanis achi turan; isaanis irree dubartii sanaattii fi kan obboleettii isheetti bitawoo, mataa isaaniitti immoo gonfoo miidhagaa kaaʼaniif.
And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. And with men of the common sort, were brought drunkards from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon the hands of those two women, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
43 Anis, ‘Namoonni yeroo ishee wajjin sagaagalanitti isaan amma ejja hojjechuu isaaniitii mitii?’ nan jedhe.
Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, Now they will play the harlot with her, and she with them.
44 Jarris ishee wajjin ciisan. Isaanis akkuma namoonni sagaagaltoota wajjin ciisan sana Oholaa fi Oholiibaa addaggeewwan sana wajjin ciisan.
And they went in to her, as they go in to a harlot. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 Sababii isaan ejjitoota taʼanii fi dhiigni harka isaanii irratti argameef, namoonni qajeeltonni adabbii dubartoota ejjitootaa fi dhiiga dhangalaasaniif malu isaanitti muru.
And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
46 “Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani jeeqxota itti nan kakaasa; raafamaa fi saamichaaf dabarsee isaan nan kenna.
For thus says the lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed.
47 Jeeqxonni sunis dhagaan isaan tumanii goraadee isaaniitiin isaan kukkutu; ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii fixanii manneen isaanii immoo ni gubu.
And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 “Kanaafuu akka dubartoonni hundi of eeggatanii fi isin duukaa hin buuneef ani biyyattii keessaa addaggummaa nan balleessa.
Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.
49 Isin addaggummaa keessaniif ni adabamtu; gatii cubbuu keessan kan waaqota tolfamoo waaqessuudhaan hojjettan sanaa ni argattu. Ergasiis akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beektu.”
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols. And ye shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.
