Hisqiʼeel 31
1 Waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti, jiʼa sadaffaa keessa, guyyaa tokkoffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxii fi tuuta namoota isaatiin akkana jedhi: “‘Surraadhaan eenyutu siin qixxaata?
Son of man Say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto his multitude, — Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Kunoo Asoor akka birbirsa Libaanoon kan dameewwan mimmiidhagoo qabuu fi bosonaaf gaaddisa taʼee akka malee ol dheeraa fi kan fiixeen isaa duumessa tuqe ture.
Lo! Assyria, was a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in bough and Dense in foliage and Lofty in stature, — and Among the clouds, came to be his top:
4 Bishaan isa biqilche; burqaawwan gad fagoon immoo isa guddise; lageen isaanii hidda isaa hunda marsanii yaaʼanii bishaan isaanii gara mukkeen bosonaa hundaatti ergu.
The waters made him great, the roaring deep, made him high—with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.
5 Kanaafuu inni mukkeen bosonaa hundaan olitti akka malee ol dheerate; lataan isaa ni baayʼate; dameen isaas ni guddate; inni bishaan baayʼee argatee babalʼateeraatii.
For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field, -And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.
6 Simbirroonni samii hundi damee isaa irratti manʼee ijaarratan; bineensonni dirree hundi damee isaa jalatti dhalan; saboonni gurguddaan hundinuus, gaaddisa isaa jala jiraatan.
Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens, made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field, brought forth, — And, in his shade, dwelt all the mighty nations.
7 Inni sababii hidda isaa gara bishaan baayʼeetti gad fageeffateef, dameewwan isaa kanneen babalʼatan wajjin akka malee miidhagaa ture.
Thus became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty waters.
8 Gaattiraawwan iddoo biqiltuu Waaqaa keessa jiran isa gituu hin dandeenye; yookaan mukkeen birbirsaa dameewwan isaatiin hin qixxaatan; mukni waddeessaas dameewwan isaatiin hin qixxaatu; mukni iddoo biqiltuu Waaqaa keessa jiru tokko iyyuu miidhagina isaatiin wal bira hin qabamu.
Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, —no, tree in the garden of God, was like unto him in his beauty.
9 Ani dameewwan baayʼeedhaan isa nan miidhagse; mukkeen Eeden kanneen iddoo biqiltuu Waaqaa keessa jiran hundi isatti hinaafan.
Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches, - Therefore was he envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.
10 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii inni ol dheeratee fiixeen isaa duumessa tuqee inni dheerina isaatiin of tuuleef,
Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou hast become lofty in stature, And he hath stretched his top among the clouds, And his heart is exalted in his loftiness.
11 akka inni waan hammina isaatiif malu isaaf kennuuf, ani dabarseen bulchaa sabootaatti isa kenne. Darbadhees isa nan gate;
Let me then deliver him into the hand of the chief of the nations, He shall effectually deal with him! According to his lawlessness, have I driven him out:
12 alagoonni akka malee hamoonis cicciranii isa gatan. Lataawwan isaa gaarran irraa fi sululawwan keessatti harcaʼa; dameewwan isaa immoo cicciramanii boʼoowwan bishaanii hunda keessa buʼan. Saboonni lafaa hundi gaaddisa isaa jalaa baʼanii isa dhiisanii deeman.
Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, — Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned him:
13 Simbirroonni samii hundi muka jige sana irra qubatan; bineensonni dirree hundinuus dameewwan isaa gidduu turan.
Upon his trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens, - And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: —
14 Kanaafuu mukni bishaan bira jiru kam iyyuu akka malee hin guddatu yookaan fiixeen isaa duumessa hin tuqu. Mukni akkasitti bishaan quufe kam iyyuu akkas ol dheeratee hin beeku. Isaan hundi warra duʼanii boolla qileetti gad buʼan wajjin akka duʼan itti murteeffameera.
To the end that none of the trees of the waters— May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, — Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them who descend into the pit.
15 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhe: Guyyaa inni awwaalametti ani isaaf jedhee burqaawwan gad fagoo gaddaan nan guute; lageen isaa nan ittise; bishaan isaa guddichis yaaʼuu dhiise. Sababii isaatiif ani Libaanoonitti dukkana nan uffise; mukkeen dirree hundis ni gogan. (Sheol h7585)
Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud. (Sheol h7585)
16 Yommuu ani warra boolla buʼan sanatti dabalee awwaala keessa isa buusutti sagalee kufaatii isaatiin ani saboota nan hollachiisa. Ergasiis mukkeen Eeden kanneen Libaanoon keessaa filatamoo fi kan addaa taʼan hundi, mukkeen akka gaarii bishaan obaafaman hundi boolla keessatti jajjabeeffaman. (Sheol h7585)
At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, — Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters. (Sheol h7585)
17 Warri gaaddisa isaa jala jiraatan kanneen saboota gidduudhaa isaaf tumsan, warra goraadeedhaan ajjeefamanitti makamuuf isa wajjin awwaala keessa buʼan. (Sheol h7585)
Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword, - Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 “‘Mukkeen Eeden keessaa kan ulfinaa fi surraadhaan siin qixxaatu kami? Taʼu iyyuu mukkeen Eeden wajjin boolla buuta; ati warra goraadeedhaan ajjeefaman wajjin, namoota dhagna hin qabatin gidduu ciifta. “‘Kun Faraʼoonii fi waldaa uummata isaa hunda, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
Unto whom couldst thou be likened thus, in glory and in greatness, among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be caused to descend with the trees of Eden into the earth below In the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt thou lie down With them who were thrust through by the sword, the same, is Pharaoh and all his multitude, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
