Hisqiʼeel 24
1 Waggaa saglaffaa, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa bultii kurnaffaatti; dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa guyyaa kana, guyyaa harʼaa kana galmeeffadhu; mootiin Baabilon guyyaa harʼaa kana Yerusaalemin marseeraatii.
“Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day.
3 Mana fincilaa kanatti akkana jedhii fakkeenya himi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Okkotee itti affeelan ibidda irra kaaʼi; ibidda irra kaaʼiitii bishaan itti naqi.
And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it,
4 Foon murmuramaa, foon murmuramaa filatamaa hunda jechuunis tafaa fi cinaacha itti naqi. Lafeewwan filatamoodhaanis isa guuti;
To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones.
5 bushaayee keessaa filatamaa isaa fuudhi. Lafee bilcheessuudhaaf okkotee sana jala qoraan naqi; akka gaariitti affeeli; lafee isaas bilcheessi.
To take the choice of the flock, And also to pile the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst.
6 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: “‘Magaalaa dhiiga namaa dhangalaaftuuf, okkotee xuriin itti qabatee xuriin sun irraa hin baʼiniif wayyoo! Utuu ixaa hin buusin gumaa gumaa isaa keessaa fuudhii duwwaa hambisi.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum has not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it.
7 “‘Dhiigni isheen dhangalaafte ishee keessa jiraatii; isheen kattaa qulullaaʼaa irratti dhiiga sana dhangalaafte; isheen dhiiga sanatti biyyoo deebisuuf lafatti hin dhangalaafne.
For her blood has been in her midst, She has set it on a clear place of a rock, She has not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
8 Ani dheekkamsa koo kakaasee haaloo baʼuuf jedhee akka dhiigni sun hin haguugamneef dhiiga ishee kattaa qulullaaʼaa irratti nan dhangalaase.
To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.
9 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Magaalaa dhiiga dhangalaaftu sanaaf wayyoo! Anis qoraan ibiddaa nan tuula.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great.
10 Qoraan irra tuuli; ibiddas itti qabsiisi. Urgooftuu itti naqiitii foon isaa akka gaariitti affeeli; lafeen isaas haa gubamu.
Make the wood abundant, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burned.
11 Ergasii akka xuriin isaa irraa baqee wanni irratti ligidaaʼe gubatee baduuf, hamma inni hoʼee sibiilli diimaan isaa baqutti, okkotee duwwaa sana cilee bobaʼu irra kaaʼi.
And cause it to stand empty on its coals, So that its bronze is hot and burning, Its uncleanness has been melted in its midst, Its scum is consumed.
12 Yaaliin godhame hundi akkasumaan hafe; ligidaaʼuun isaas ibiddaan iyyuu gad hin dhiifne.
She has wearied herself [with] sorrows, And the abundance of her scum does not go out of her, Her scum [is] in the fire.
13 “‘Xuraaʼummaan kee addaggummaa dha. Ani si qulqulleessuu yaaleera; ati garuu xuraaʼummaa kee irraa hin qulqulloofne; hamma dheekkamsi koo sirraa deebiʼutti ati lammata hin qulqullooftu.
Wickedness [is] in your uncleanness, Because I have cleansed you, And you have not been cleansed, You are not cleansed from your uncleanness again, Until I have caused My fury to rest on you.
14 “‘Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheera. Yeroon ani itti hojjedhu naaf dhufeera. Ani duubatti hin deebiʼu; ani garaa hin laafu yookaan hin gaabbu. Akkuma amala keetiittii fi hojii keetiitti sitti murama, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
I, YHWH, have spoken, It has come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I regret, According to your ways, and according to your acts, They have judged you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
15 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
16 “Yaa ilma namaa, ani waan iji kee itti gammadu dhaʼicha tokkoon si duraa nan fuudha. Taʼus ati hin gaddin yookaan hin booʼin yookaan imimmaan tokko iyyuu hin dhangalaasin.
“Son of man, behold, I am taking the desire of your eyes from you by a stroke, and you do not mourn, nor weep, nor let your tear come.
17 Of keessatti aadi; nama duʼeef hin booʼin. Marata kee maradhu; kophee kees miilla keetti kaaʼadhu; fuula kee gara gadiitiin hin haguuggatin yookaan buddeena warra gaddaa hin nyaatin.”
Cease to groan [and] make no mourning [for] the dead, bind your headdress on yourself, and put your shoes on your feet, and you do not cover over the upper lip, and you do not eat [the] bread of men.”
18 Kanaafuu ani ganamaan sabatti nan hime; niitiin koos galgala duute. Guyyaa itti aanu ganama ani akkuman ajajame sana nan godhe.
And I speak to the people in the morning, and my wife dies in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
19 Namoonnis, “Waan kana gochuun kee hiikkaa maalii akka nuuf qabu ati nutti hin himtuu?” jedhanii na gaafatan.
And the people say to me, “Do you not declare to us what these [are] to us, that you are doing?”
20 Anis akkanan isaaniin jedhe; “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And I say to them, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
21 Mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani iddoo koo qulqulluu jechuunis daʼannoo isin ittiin boontan, waan iji keessan itti gammadu, waan isin jaallattan sana nan xureessa. Ilmaanii fi intallan keessan kanneen isin dhiiftanii deemtan immoo goraadeedhaan ni dhumu.
Say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am defiling My sanctuary, The excellence of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom you have left, fall by sword.
22 Isinis akkuma ani godhe sana gootu. Fuula keessan gara gadiitiin hin haguuggattan yookaan buddeena warra gaddaa hin nyaattu.
And you have done as I have done, You have not covered over the upper lip, And you do not eat [the] bread of men.
23 Maranni keessan mataa keessan irra, kopheen keessan immoo miilla keessan irra haa turu. Isin sababii cubbuu keessaniitiif ni huqqattan; walii wajjinis ni aaddu malee hin gadditan yookaan hin boossan.
And your headdresses [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, You do not mourn nor do you weep, And you have wasted away for your iniquities, And you have howled to one another.
24 Hisqiʼeel mallattoo isiniif taʼa; isinis akkuma inni godhe sana ni gootan. Yeroo wanni kun taʼutti isin akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beektu.’
And Ezekiel has been for a type to you; according to all that he has done you do. In its coming in—you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
25 “Yaa ilma namaa, gaafa ani daʼannoo isaanii, gammachuu fi ulfina isaanii, waan iji isaanii itti gammadu, waan garaan isaanii hawwuu fi ilmaanii fi intallan isaanii fudhadhutti,
“And you, son of man, is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, the joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, and the song of their soul—their sons and their daughters?
26 gaafas namni miliqee baʼe tokko dhufee oduu sitti hima.
In that day the escaped one comes to you to cause the ears to hear.
27 Gaafas afaan kee ni banama; atis isa wajjin ni haasofta; ergasii hin calʼistu. Kanaafuu ati isaaniif mallattoo ni taata; isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
In that day your mouth is opened with the escaped and you speak, and are not silent anymore, and you have been for a type to them, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
