Hisqiʼeel 29
1 Waggaa kurnaffaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa, guyyaa kudha lammaffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxitti garagalfadhuutii isaa fi warra Gibxi hundaan mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu.
'Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt — all of it.
3 Isatti dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Ati bineensi guddichi, kan lageen kee gidduu ciiftu, yaa Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi, ani sitti nan kaʼa. Ati, “Lagni Abbayyaa kan koo ti; anatu ofuma kootiif isa uummate” jetta.
Speak, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who hath said, My flood [is] my own, And I — I have made it [for] myself.
4 Ani garuu haʼoo kee keessa hokkoo kaaʼee akka qurxummiiwwan lageen keetii qola keetti maxxanan nan godha. Ani qurxummiiwwan qola keetti maxxanan hunda wajjinis lageen kee keessaa harkiseen si baasa.
And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And I have caused the fish of thy floods to cleave to thy scales, And I have caused thee to come up from the midst of thy floods, And every fish of thy floods to thy scales doth cleave.
5 Siʼii fi qurxummiiwwan lageen keetii hunda gammoojjiitti nan gata. Ati dirree duwwaa irratti ni kufta; walitti hin qabamtu; hin awwaalamtus. Ani bineensota lafaatii fi allaattii samiitiif nyaata godheen si kenna.
And I have left thee in the wilderness, Thou and every fish of thy floods, On the face of the field thou dost fall, Thou art not gathered nor assembled, To the beast of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens I have given thee for food.
6 Warri Gibxi keessa jiraatan hundis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku. “‘Ati mana Israaʼeliif ulee shambaqqoo taateerta.
And known have all inhabitants of Egypt That I [am] Jehovah, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Yommuu isaan harkaan si qabatanitti baqaqxee gatiittii isaanii waraante; yommuu isaan sitti irkatanittis ati caccabdee akka dugdi isaanii hollatu goote.
In their taking hold of thee by thy hand, — thou art crushed, And hast rent to them all the shoulder, And in their leaning on thee thou art broken, And hast caused all their thighs to stand.
8 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani goraadee sitti fidee namoota keetii fi horii isaanii nan fixa.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in against thee a sword, And have cut off from thee man and beast.
9 Gibxi duwwaa fi ona taati; isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku. “‘Ati, “Lagni Abbayyaa kan koo ti; anatu isa uume” jetteertaatii;
And the land of Egypt hath been for a desolation and a waste, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah. Because he said: The flood [is] mine, and I made [it].
10 kanaafuu ani sitti kaʼeera; lageen keettis kaʼeera; biyya Gibxis Migdoolii jalqabee hamma Aswaanitti, hamma daarii Itoophiyaatti diigamtuu fi ontuu nan godha.
Therefore, lo, I [am] against thee, and against thy floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush.
11 Miilli namaa yookaan kotteen horii karaa sana hin darbu; namni tokko iyyuu hamma waggaa afurtamaatti ishee keessa hin jiraatu.
Not pass over into it doth a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast doth not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.
12 Ani biyyoota onan gidduutti biyya Gibxi nan onsa; magaalaawwan ishees magaalaawwan diigaman gidduutti waggaa afurtama ni onu. Namoota Gibxi immoo saboota keessa nan faffacaasa; biyyoota keessas isaan nan bittinneessa.
And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.
13 “‘Ammas Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Dhuma waggaa afurtamaatti ani namoota Gibxi saboota isaan itti bittinneeffaman keessaa walitti nan qaba.
But thus said the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have been scattered,
14 Ani boojuudhaa isaan deebisee Phaxroos biyya abbootii isaaniitti isaan nan galcha. Achittis isaan mootummaa gad aanaa ni taʼu.
And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom.
15 Isheenis mootummoota keessaa gad aantuu ni taati; deebitees saboota kaaniin olitti gonkumaa ol of hin kaaftu. Anis akka isheen lammata saboota kaan hin bulchineef ishee nan dadhabsiisa.
Of the kingdoms it is lowest, And it lifteth not up itself any more above the nations, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.
16 Biyyi Gibxi siʼachi uummata Israaʼeliif irkoo hin taatu; yoo isaan gargaarsaaf gara isheetti deebiʼan garuu isheen yaadannoo cubbuu isaanii taati. Ergasii isaan akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beeku.’”
And it is no more to the house of Israel for a confidence, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.'
17 Waggaa digdamii torbaffaatti, jiʼa tokkoffaa keessa, guyyaa tokkoffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and seventh year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:
18 “Yaa ilma namaa, Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon duula jabaadhaan loltoota isaa Xiiroositti kaaseera; mataan nama hundaa molaaʼeera; gatiittiin nama hundaas luqqaʼeera. Taʼus innii fi loltoonni isaa duula jabaa Xiiroositti kaasaniin buʼaa tokko illee hin arganne.
'Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Hath caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald — every shoulder peeled, And reward he had none, nor his force, out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it.
19 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani biyya Gibxi Nebukadnezar mootii Baabiloniif nan kenna; innis ishee boojiʼee qabeenya ishee saama. Kunis mindaa loltoota isaa taʼa.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, I am giving to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, And he hath taken away its store, And hath taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it hath been a reward to his force.
20 Ani Gibxiin gatii dadhabbii isaa godhee isaaf kenneera; innii fi loltoonni isaa waan kana anaaf hojjetaniiruutii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
His wage for which he laboured I have given to him, The land of Egypt — in that they wrought for Me, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
21 “Ani Guyyaa sana akka manni Israaʼel gaanfa baasu nan godha; isaan gidduuttis afaan kee nan saaqa. Isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
In that day I cause to shoot up a horn to the house of Israel, And to thee I give an opening of the mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
