Hisqiʼeel 33
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitti dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Yeroo ani biyya tokkotti goraadee fidutti, sabni biyya sanaa namoota isaa keessaa nama tokko filatee eegduu isa godhatee,
"Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, 'When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;
3 eegduun sun goraadee biyyattiitti dhufaa jiru argee uummata akeekkachiisuuf malakata yeroo afuufutti,
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 yoo namni kam iyyuu sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhachuu didee goraadeen sun dhufee lubbuu isaa galaafate, dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa.
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't take warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.
5 Inni sagalee malakataa dhagaʼee garuu akeekkachiisa waan hin fudhatiniif dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa. Inni utuu akeekkachiisa sana fudhatee jiraatee silaa of baasa ture.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6 Garuu yoo eegduun sun goraadee dhufaa jiru argee namoota akeekkachiisuuf malakata afuufuu baatee goraadeen sun dhufee isaan keessaa lubbuu nama tokkoo galaafate, namichi sun sababii cubbuu isaatiif ajjeefama; eegduu sana garuu sababii dhiiga nama sanaatiif nan gaafadha.’
But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.'
7 “Yaa ilma namaa, ani mana Israaʼeliitiif eegduu si godheera; kanaafuu dubbii ani dubbadhu dhagaʼiitii akeekkachiisa na biraa baʼu isaaniif kenni.
"So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
8 Yeroo ani nama hamaa tokkoon, ‘Yaa namicha hamaa nana, ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhutti, yoo ati akka inni qalbii jijjiirratu akeekkachiisuu baatte namichi hamaan sun cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; dhiiga isaa garuu ani harka kee irraa nan barbaada.
When I tell the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Garuu yoo ati nama hamaa sana akka inni karaa isaa irraa deebiʼu akeekkachiiftee inni immoo deebiʼuu baate, inni cubbuu isaatiin ni duʼa; ati garuu lubbuu kee oolfatteerta.
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
10 “Yaa ilma namaa, mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin akkana jettu: “Yakkii fi cubbuun keenya nutti ulfaateera; nuus sababii kanaaf nyaatamnee dhumne. Yoos akkamiin jiraachuu dandeenya ree?”’
"You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: 'Thus you speak, saying, "Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?"'
11 Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼe, ani akka namoonni hamoon karaa isaanii irraa deebiʼanii jiraatan malee duʼa isaaniitti hin gammadu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Deebiʼaa! Karaa keessan hamaa sana irraa deebiʼaa! Yaa mana Israaʼel isin maaliif duutu?’
Tell them, 'As I live,' says Jehovah, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel?'
12 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, namoota biyya keetiitiin akkana jedhi; ‘Qajeelummaan nama qajeelaa yommuu inni ajajamuu didutti isa hin baasu; hamminni nama hamaas yommuu inni hammina isaa irraa deebiʼutti isa hin balleessu. Namni qajeelaan yoo cubbuu hojjete sababii qajeelummaa isaa duraatiif lubbuudhaan hin jiraatu.’
"You, son of man, tell the children of your people, 'The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall he who is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sins.'
13 Yoo ani nama qajeelaa tokko akka inni dhugumaan jiraatu itti himee, inni garuu qajeelummaa isaa amanatee cubbuu hojjete, waan qajeelaa inni hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu hin yaadatamu; inni cubbuu hojjete sanaan ni duʼa.
When I say to the righteous "He shall surely live," but he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but he shall die because of the iniquity he has committed.
14 Yoo ani nama cubbamaa tokkoon, ‘Ati dhugumaan ni duuta’ jedhee inni garuu cubbuu isaa irraa deebiʼee waan sirrii fi waan qajeelaa hojjete jechuunis,
Again, when I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 inni yoo qabdii waan liqeesse tokkoof fudhate deebise, yoo waan hate deebise, yoo seera jireenya namaaf kennu duukaa buʼee hammina hojjechuu baate, inni dhugumaan ni jiraata; hin duʼus.
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 Cubbuu namichi sun hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu isatti hin herregamu. Inni waan sirrii fi qajeelaa hojjeteeraatii, dhugumaan lubbuudhaan ni jiraata.
None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 “Taʼus namoonni biyya keetii, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jedhu. Garuu karaan qajeelaa hin taʼin kanuma isaanii ti.
"Yet the children of your people say, 'The way of Jehovah is not just': but as for them, their way is not just.
18 Namni qajeelaan yoo qajeelummaa isaa irraa deebiʼee hammina hojjete, inni hammina sanaan ni duʼa.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
19 Namni hamaan tokko immoo yoo hammina isaa irraa deebiʼee murtii qajeelaa fi waan qajeelaa hojjete, inni waan kana hojjechuu isaatiin ni jiraata.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Taʼu illee yaa mana Israaʼel isin, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jettu. Ani garuu hunda keessanitti akkuma hojii keessaniitti nan mura.”
Yet you say, 'The way of Jehovah is not just.' House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways."
21 Waggaa kudha lammaffaa boojiʼamuu keenyaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaa keessa, bultii shanaffaatti, namichi Yerusaalemii baqatee baʼe tokko gara koo dhufee, “Magaalattiin kufteerti!” jedhe.
It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, "The city has been struck."
22 Galgala dhufaatii namichaatiin duraa sana harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; utuu namichi ganamaan gara koo hin dhufinis Waaqni afaan koo bane. Afaan koo banameeraatii ani lammata hin calʼisne.
Now the hand of Jehovah had been on me in the evening, before he who was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
23 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
24 “Yaa ilma namaa, namoonni diigama biyya Israaʼel keessa jiru keessa jiraatan akkana jedhu; ‘Abrahaam namuma tokko ture; taʼus inni biyyattii dhaale. Nu garuu baayʼee dha; biyyattiinis dhugumaan akka nu dhaalluuf nuu kennamteerti.’
"Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, 'Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.'
25 Kanaafuu akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin foon utuma dhiigni keessa jiruu nyaattu; waaqota keessan tolfamoo abdattu; dhiiga namaas dhangalaaftu; yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?
Therefore tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
26 Isin goraadee keessan abdattu; waan jibbisiisaa hojjettu; tokkoon tokkoon keessan niitii ollaa keessanii xureessitu. Yoos isin biyyattii dhaaluu qabduu?’
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?"'
27 “Akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani jiraataadhaatii, warri diigama keessatti hafan goraadeedhaan dhumu; warra baadiyyaa keessa jiran akka isaan nyaatamaniif bineensatti dabarsee nan kenna; warri daʼannoo fi holqa keessa jiraatan immoo dhaʼichaan ni dhumu.
"You shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord Jehovah: "As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field will I give to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 Ani biyyattii onsee duwwaa nan hambisa; humni isheen ittiin of jajjus ni dhuma; gaarran Israaʼelis akka namni tokko iyyuu irra hin qaxxaamurreef qullaa hafu.
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
29 Yeroo ani sababii wantoota jibbisiisoo isaan hojjetan hundaatiif biyyattii onsee duwwaa hambisutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.’
Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed."'
30 “Waaʼee kee immoo yaa ilma namaa, namoonni biyya keetii keenyan manaa birattii fi balbala duratti waaʼee kee dubbachaa, ‘Kottaa dhaqnee ergaa Waaqayyo biraa dhufe dhageenyaa’ waliin jedhu.
"As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, 'Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from Jehovah.'
31 Sabni koo akkuma yeroo kaaniitti gara kee dhufanii dubbii kee dhagaʼuudhaaf fuula kee dura tataaʼu; isaan garuu waan sana hojiidhaan hin argisiisan. Isaan afaan isaaniitiin jaalala guddaa dubbatu; garaan isaanii garuu buʼaa hin malle argachuuf gaggaba.
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 Dhugumaan ati isaaniif nama sagalee gaariidhaan sirba jaalalaa sirbee meeshaa sirbaa taphatu irra hin jirtuutii; isaan dubbii kee ni dhagaʼu malee hojiidhaan hin argisiisaniitii.
Look, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
33 “Yeroo wanni kun taʼutti, dhugumaan ni taʼaatii isaan gaafas akka raajiin gidduu isaanii ture ni beeku.”
When this comes to pass, (look, it comes), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them."
