Hisqiʼeel 28
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, bulchaa Xiiroosiin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Ati of tuulummaa garaa keetiitiin, “Ani waaqa; ani handhuura galaanaa keessa, teessoo waaqaa irra nan taaʼa” jette. Qaroo akka waaqaa of seetu iyyuu, ati nama malee waaqa miti.
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
3 Ati Daaniʼel caalaa ogeessaa? Icciitiin tokko iyyuu si jalaa hin dhokatuu?
You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
4 Ati ogummaa fi hubannaa keetiin qabeenya argatteerta; warqee fi meetii mankuusaa kee keessatti kuufatteerta.
Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
5 Ati ogummaa guddaa daldala keessatti qabduun qabeenya kee baayʼifatteerta; sababii qabeenya keetiitiif immoo garaan kee of tuulummaadhaan guutameera.
You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
6 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Sababii ati qaroo akka waaqaa of seetuuf,
So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a god,
7 ani namoota biyya ormaa saboota akka malee gara jabeeyyii sitti nan fida; isaan goraadee isaanii miidhagina keetii fi ogummaa keetti luqqifatanii ulfina kee guddaa sana balleessu.
watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
8 Isaan boolla keessa si buusu; atis garaa galaanaa keessatti duʼa hamaa duuta.
They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in the sea.
9 Yoos ati fuula warra si ajjeesanii duratti, “Ani waaqa” ni jettaa? Ati harka warra si gorraʼanii keessatti namuma malee waaqa miti.
Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
10 Ati harka namoota biyya ormaatti duʼa nama dhagna hin qabatinii duuta. Ani dubbadheera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
11 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
12 “Yaa ilma namaa, waaʼee mootii Xiiroos faarsii booʼiitii akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Ati fakkeenya guutummaa ti; ogummaadhaan guutamteerta; miidhaginaanis hirʼina hin qabdu.
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.
13 Ati iddoo biqiltuu Waaqaa, Eeden keessa turte; dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiin hundi si bareechu; isaanis: lula diimaa, tophaaziyoon, almaazii fi maragdi, kirisooliixoos, sardooniksii fi yaasphiidi, sanpeer, baluurii fi biiralee. Diranni keetii fi faayni kee warqee irraa tolfaman; isaanis guyyaa ati uumamte qopheeffaman.
You were there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
14 Ati Kiirubii waa eegu taatee dibamte; anis kanumaafan si muude. Ati tulluu Waaqaa qulqullicha sana irra jiraatte; dhagaawwan ibiddaa gidduus deddeebite.
I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among the stones of fire.
15 Ati gaafa uumamtee jalqabdee hamma gaafa hamminni si keessatti argameetti jireenyi kee hirʼina hin qabu ture.
You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
16 Babalʼina daldala keetiitiin gooliidhaan guutamtee cubbuu hojjette. Kanaafuu yaa kiirubii eegumsaa, ani tulluu Waaqaa irraa dhagaawwan ibiddaa gidduudhaa si salphisee ariʼeen si baase.
You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among the stones of fire.
17 Sababii miidhagina keetiitiif, ati koorteerta; sababii ulfina keetiitiif, ogummaa kee balleessite. Kanaafuu ani gara lafaattan si darbadhe; fuula moototaa durattis waan kolfaa si godhe.
You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
18 Ati cubbuu kee hedduu fi shaqqaba daldala keetiitiin iddoowwan kee qulqulluu xureessiteerta. Kanaafuu ani akka ibiddi si keessaa baʼu nan godhe; innis gubee si fixe; anis fuula namoota si ilaalaa turan hundaa duratti lafa irratti daaraan si taasise.
By all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
19 Saboonni si beekan hundinuu si arganii rifatan; dhumni kee suukaneessaa taʼeera; ati siʼachi bara baraan ni dhabamta.’”
All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
20 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee Siidoonaatti garagalfadhuutii isheedhaan mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu;
“Son of man, face towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
22 akkanas jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Yaa Siidoonaa, ani sitti kaʼeera; si keessatti ulfina nan argadha. Yeroo ani ishee adabee akka ani qulqulluu taʼe ishee keessatti of argisiisuutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
23 Ani dhaʼicha isheetti ergee akka daandii ishee irra dhiigni lolaʼu nan godha. Namoonni goraadee karaa hundaan ishee marseen gorraʼaman ishee keessatti ni harcaʼu. Ergasiis isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
I'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
24 “‘Sabni Israaʼel siʼachi olloota hamoo akka sokorruu nama waraananii akka qoraattii immoo nama madeessan hin qabaatu. Ergasiis isaan akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beeku.
The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
25 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yeroo ani mana Israaʼel saboota isaan keessa bibittinnaaʼan keessaa walitti qabutti, ani akkan isaan gidduutti qulqulluu taʼe fuula sabootaa duratti of nan argisiisa. Ergasii isaan biyya ofii isaanii kan ani garbicha koo Yaaqoobiif kenne sana keessa ni jiraatu.
This is what the Lord God says: When I bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Isaan nagaadhaan achi jiraatanii manneen ijaarratanii wayiniis dhaabbatu; yeroo ani olloota isaanii kanneen isaan cunqursan adabutti, isaan nagumaan jiraatu. Ergasii isaan akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii taʼe ni beeku.’”
They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
