Hisqiʼeel 3
1 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa waan fuula kee dura jiru nyaadhu; kitaaba maramaa kana nyaadhu; ergasii dhaqiitii mana Israaʼelitti himi” naan jedhe.
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
2 Kanaafuu ani afaan koon banadhe; innis akka ani nyaadhuuf kitaaba maramaa sana naa kenne.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, kitaaba maramaa ani siif kennu kana nyaadhu; garaa kees ittiin guuttadhu” naan jedhe. Anis nan nyaadhe; afaan koo keessattis akka dammaa natti miʼaawe.
And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it]; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 Ergasii immoo akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa, amma gara mana Israaʼel dhaqiitii dubbii koo isaanitti himi.
And he said to me, Son of man, depart, go to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.
5 Ati gara mana Israaʼelitti malee gara uummata haasaan isaa namaa hin gallee fi afaan isaa nama rakkisuutti hin ergamne;
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;
6 ati gara uummata haasaan isaanii namaa hin gallee fi afaan isaanii nama rakkisu kan ati dubbii isaanii illee hubachuu hin dandeenyeetti hin ergamne. Dhugumaan utuu ani isaanitti si ergee jiraadhee silaa isaan si dhaggeeffatu ture.
Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.
7 Manni Israaʼel garuu sababii ana dhagaʼuu hin feeneef siinis dhagaʼuu hin fedhan; manni Israaʼel hundi didaa fi mata jabeeyyiidhaatii.
But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hard-hearted.
8 Kunoo, ani fuula kee fuula isaaniitti jabeesseera; adda kee illee adda isaatiin jabeesseera.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 Adda kee akka dhagaa akka malee jabaa kan dhagaa baalcii caalaa jabaatuu nan godha. Isaan mana fincilaa taʼan iyyuu ati isaan hin sodaatin yookaan isaan si hin rifachiisin.”
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.
10 Innis akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, waan ani sitti dubbadhu hunda sirriitti dhagaʼiitii garaatti qabadhu.
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears.
11 Amma gara saba kee warra boojiʼaman sanaa dhaqiitii isaanitti dubbadhu. Isaan dhagaʼanis dhagaʼuu baatanis, ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha’ jedhiin.”
And depart, go to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12 Ergasiis Hafuurri ol na kaase; anis sagalee guddaa gigigsu kan, “Ulfinni Waaqayyoo iddoo jireenya isaatti haa eebbifamu!” jedhu tokko of duubaan nan dhagaʼe.
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place.
13 Sagaleen kunis sagalee guddaa gigigsu kan yeroo qoochoowwan uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa wal riganii fi sagaleen geengoowwan isaan cina jiran dhageessisan ture.
[I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and the noise of a great rushing.
14 Hafuurris ol na kaasee na fudhatee deeme; anis hadheeffadhee utuma hafuurri koo aaree gubatuu nan deeme; harki Waaqayyoo jabaan sunis ana irra ture.
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
15 Anis gara boojiʼamtoota Teel Abiib keessa Laga Kebaar bira jiraatan sanaan dhufe. Achittis waanan godhu wallaalee guyyaa torba isaan gidduu nan taaʼe.
Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Kebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
16 Dhuma guyyaa torbaffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17 “Yaa ilma namaa, ani mana Israaʼeliitiif eegduu si godheera; kanaafuu dubbii ani dubbadhu dhagaʼiitii akeekkachiisa na biraa baʼu isaaniif kenni.
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 Yeroo ani nama hamaa tokkoon, ‘Ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhutti, yoo ati isa akeekkachiisuu yookaan akka inni karaa isaa hamaa irraa deebiʼee lubbuu isaa oolfatu itti himuu baatte, namichi hamaan sun sababii cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; dhiiga isaa garuu ani harka kee irraa nan barbaada.
When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
19 Garuu yoo ati nama hamaa sana akeekkachiiftee inni immoo hammina isaa irraa yookaan karaa isaa isa hamaa sana irraa deebiʼuu baate, inni cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; ati garuu lubbuu kee ni oolfatta.
Yet if thou shalt warn the wicked, and he shall not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 “Amma illee yoo namni qajeelaan tokko qajeelummaa isaa irraa jalʼatee hammina hojjete, ani fuula isaa dura gufuu nan kaaʼa; innis ni duʼa. Waan ati isa hin akeekkachiisiniif inni cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; wanni qajeelaan inni hojjete sunis isaaf hin herregamu; anis dhiiga isaatiif sin gaafadha.
Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
21 Garuu yoo ati nama qajeelaa sana akka inni cubbuu hin hojjenneef isa akeekkachiiftee innis cubbuu hojjechuu baate, inni sababii akeekkachiisa sana fudhateef dhugumaan lubbuudhaan ni jiraata; atis lubbuu kee ni oolfatta.”
Nevertheless if thou shalt warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
22 Achittis harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; innis, “Kaʼiitii gara dirreetti baʼi; anis achitti sitti nan dubbadhaa” naan jedhe.
And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
23 Kanaafuu ani kaʼee gara dirreetti nan baʼe. Ulfinni Waaqayyoos achi dhaabatee ture; innis ulfina ani Laga Kebaar biratti argee ture sana fakkaata; anis adda kootiin lafatti nan gombifame.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain; and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Kebar: and I fell on my face.
24 Ergasii Hafuurri anatti seenee miilla kootiin na dhaabachiise. Innis akkana jedhee natti dubbate: “Mana keetti galiitii ofitti cufi.
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.
25 Yaa ilma namaa, isaan funyoodhaan si hidhu; ati akka uummata gidduu deemuu hin dandeenyeef ni hidhamta.
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
26 Isaan mana fincilaa taʼan iyyuu, ani akka ati hin dubbannee fi isaanitti dheekkamuu hin dandeenyeef arraba kee laagaa keetti nan maxxansa.
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they [are] a rebellious house.
27 Ani yeroon sitti dubbadhutti garuu afaan kee siifan bana; atis, ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha’ isaaniin jetta. Namni dhagaʼuu barbaadu kam iyyuu haa dhagaʼu; namni dhagaʼuu hin barbaanne kam iyyuu dhagaʼuu haa dhiisu; isaan mana fincilaadhaatii.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.
