Hisqiʼeel 30
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Yaa ilma namaa raaji; akkanas jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Wawwaadhuutii akkana jedhi; “Guyyaa sanaaf wayyoo!”
“Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’
3 Guyyaan sun dhiʼoo dha; Guyyaan Waaqayyoo dhiʼoo dha; innis guyyaa duumessaa, sabootaaf immoo yeroo badiisaa ni taʼa.
For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.
4 Gibxitti goraadeen ni dhufa; Itoophiyaatti immoo dhiphinni ni dhufa. Yommuu warri qalaman Gibxi keessatti kukkufanitti, qabeenyi ishee saamamee fudhatama; hundeewwan ishee immoo ni diigamu.
And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.
5 Itoophiyaa fi Fuuxi, Luudii fi biyyi Arabaa hundi, Liibiyaa fi uummanni biyya kakuu Gibxi wajjin goraadeedhaan ni dhumu.
Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.
6 “‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Tumsitoonni Gibxi ni kufu; humni isheen ittiin boontu ni dadhaba. Migdoolii hamma Aswaanitti, isaan ishee keessatti goraadeedhaan ni dhumu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
7 Isaan biyyoota onan gidduutti, onanii hafu; magaalaawwan isaaniis magaalaawwan diigaman gidduutti argamu.
And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.
8 Yommuu ani Gibxitti ibidda qabsiisee warri ishee gargaaran hundi barbadaaʼanitti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.
9 “‘Gaafas namoota Itoophiyaa kanneen yaaddoo malee jiraatan sodaachisuuf, ergamoonni dooniidhaan na biraa ni baʼu. Guyyaa badiisa Gibxitti dhiphinni isaan qabata; wanni kun dhugumaan ni dhufaatii.
In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.
10 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Ani harka Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabiloniin namoota Gibxi hedduu nan barbadeessa.
Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.
11 Innii fi loltoonni isaa kanneen saboota keessaa akka malee hamoo taʼan, akka biyyattii balleessaniif ni fidamu. Isaanis goraadee isaanii Gibxitti luqqifatanii reeffaan biyyattii guutu.
He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.
12 Ani bishaan Abbayyaa nan gogsa; biyyattiis namoota hamootti nan gurgura; harka alagootaatiin biyyattii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda nan onsa. Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheera.
And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.
13 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Ani waaqota tolfamoo nan balleessa; fakkiiwwan Memfiis keessa jiranis nan facaasa. Siʼachi Gibxi keessatti bulchaan hin argamu; biyyattii guutuu keessas sodaa nan buusa.
Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.
14 Phaxroosin nan onsa; Zooʼaanitti ibidda nan qabsiisa; Tebesiin immoo nan adaba.
And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.
15 Daʼannoo Gibxi jabaa jechuunis Siin irratti dheekkamsa koo nan dhangalaasa; uummata Tebesi hedduu sana illee nan balleessa.
And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.
16 Ani Gibxitti ibidda nan qabsiisa; Siin dhiphinaan raafamti. Tebesi dambaliidhaan ni fudhatamti; Memfiis dhiphina wal irraa hin cinneen ni dhiphatti.
And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.
17 Dargaggoonni Aawwenii fi Phii-Beseti goraadeedhaan dhumu; magaalaawwan mataan isaanii iyyuu ni boojiʼamu.
The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.
18 Yommuu ani waanjoo Gibxi cabsutti, Tahiphaanheesitti guyyaan ni dukkanaaʼa; humni isheen ittiin boontus ni laafa. Isheen hurriidhaan haguugamti; gandoonni ishee immoo ni boojiʼamu.
And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.
19 Kanaafuu ani Gibxiin nan adaba; isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.’”
And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
20 Waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti, jiʼa tokkoffaa keessa, guyyaa torbaffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 “Yaa ilma namaa, ani irree Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi cabseera. Inni akka fayyuuf hin hidhamne yookaan shambaqqoon hidhamee akka jabaatee goraadee qabachuu dandaʼu hin godhamne.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.
22 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxitti kaʼeera. Ani irree isaa lachanuu, isa fayyaa, isa cabe sana illee cabsee akka goraadeen harka isaatii buʼu nan godha.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.
23 Ani namoota Gibxi saboota gidduutti nan faffacaasa; biyyoota keessas isaan nan bibittinneessa.
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
24 Irree mootii Baabilon nan jabeessa; goraadee koos harka isaa keessa nan kaaʼa; irree Faraʼoon garuu nan cabsa; innis fuula isaa duratti akkuma nama akka malee madaaʼeetti ni aada.
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.
25 Irree mootii Baabilon nan jabeessa; irreen Faraʼoon garuu ni laafa. Yommuu ani goraadee koo harka mootii Baabilon keessa kaaʼee inni immoo Gibxitti isa mirmirsutti isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.
26 Ani namoota Gibxi saboota gidduu nan faffacaasa; biyyoota keessas isaan nan bibittinneessa. Isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
