Hisqiʼeel 28
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
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.
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 Ati Daaniʼel caalaa ogeessaa? Icciitiin tokko iyyuu si jalaa hin dhokatuu?
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Ati ogummaa fi hubannaa keetiin qabeenya argatteerta; warqee fi meetii mankuusaa kee keessatti kuufatteerta.
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Ati ogummaa guddaa daldala keessatti qabduun qabeenya kee baayʼifatteerta; sababii qabeenya keetiitiif immoo garaan kee of tuulummaadhaan guutameera.
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Sababii ati qaroo akka waaqaa of seetuuf,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as 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.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Isaan boolla keessa si buusu; atis garaa galaanaa keessatti duʼa hamaa duuta.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died 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.
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Ati harka namoota biyya ormaatti duʼa nama dhagna hin qabatinii duuta. Ani dubbadheera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
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.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
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 [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Ati Kiirubii waa eegu taatee dibamte; anis kanumaafan si muude. Ati tulluu Waaqaa qulqullicha sana irra jiraatte; dhagaawwan ibiddaa gidduus deddeebite.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Ati gaafa uumamtee jalqabdee hamma gaafa hamminni si keessatti argameetti jireenyi kee hirʼina hin qabu ture.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Babalʼina daldala keetiitiin gooliidhaan guutamtee cubbuu hojjette. Kanaafuu yaa kiirubii eegumsaa, ani tulluu Waaqaa irraa dhagaawwan ibiddaa gidduudhaa si salphisee ariʼeen si baase.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
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 were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at 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 committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Saboonni si beekan hundinuu si arganii rifatan; dhumni kee suukaneessaa taʼeera; ati siʼachi bara baraan ni dhabamta.’”
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee Siidoonaatti garagalfadhuutii isheedhaan mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu;
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
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.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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 will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
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.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
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.’”
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
