Hisqiʼeel 34
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, tiksoota Israaʼelitti raajii dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Tiksoota Israaʼel warra ofuma isaanii qofa sooraniif wayyoo! Tiksoonni bushaayee sooruu hin qabanii?
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God; O shepherds of Israel, do shepherds feed themselves? do not the shepherds feed the sheep?
3 Isin cooma ni nyaattu; suufii ni uffattu; horii gabbataa ni qalattu; bushaayee garuu hin soortan.
Behold, you feed on the milk, and clothe yourselves with the wool, and kill the fat: but you feed not my sheep.
4 Isin dadhabaa hin jabeessine yookaan dhukkubsataa hin fayyifne yookaan cabaa hin walʼaanne. Kanneen miliqan hin deebifne yookaan kanneen badan hin barbaanne. Humnaa fi gara jabinaan isaan ajajju.
The weak one you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not cherished, and the bruised you have not bound up, and the stray one you have not turned back, and the lost you have not sought; and the strong you have wearied with labor.
5 Kanaafuu isaan sababii tikseen hin jirreef bittinnaaʼan; yeroo bittinnaaʼanittis bineensota bosonaatiif soora taʼan.
And my sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field.
6 Hoolonni koo gaarran hundaa fi tulluuwwan ol dhedheeroo hunda irra asii fi achi jooran. Isaan guutummaa lafaa irra faffacaʼan; namni isaan ilaalu yookaan isaan barbaadu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
And my sheep were scattered on every mountain, and on every high hill: yes, they were scattered on the face of the earth, and there was none to seek them out, nor to bring them back.
7 “‘Kanaafuu isin tiksoonni, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord.
8 Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; sababii bushaayeen koo tiksoota dhabanii akkasiin saamamanii bineensa bosonaatiif nyaata taʼaniif, sababii tiksoonni koo bushaayee koo barbaaduu didanii qooda bushaayee ofuma isaanii sooraniif
[As] I live, says the Lord God, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the wild beasts of the field, because there were no shepherds, and the shepherds sought not out my sheep, and the shepherds fed themselves, but fed not my sheep.
9 yaa tiksoota, kanaafuu isin dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
For this cause, O shepherds,
10 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani tiksootatti nan kaʼa; bushaayee koos harka isaanii irraa nan barbaada. Akka tiksoonni siʼachi of hin soorreef bushaayee tiksuu irraa isaan nan ariʼa. Ani bushaayee koo afaan isaaniitii nan buusa; isaanis siʼachi soora isaanii hin taʼan.
thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hands, and will turn them back that they shall not feed my sheep, and the shepherds shall no longer feed them; and I will deliver my sheep out of their mouth, and they shall no longer be meat for them.
11 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan barbaadadha; nan tikfadhas.
For thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will seek out my sheep, and will visit them.
12 Akkuma tikseen tokko yommuu bushaayee isaa bira jirutti hoolota isaa warra bittinnaaʼan barbaaddatu sana anis hoolota koo nan barbaaddadha. Ani lafa isaan guyyaa duumessaatii fi guyyaa dukkanaa itti bittinneeffaman hundaa baasee isaan nan galfadha.
As the shepherd seeks his flock, in the day when there is darkness and cloud, in the midst of the sheep that are separated: so will I seek out my sheep, and will bring them back from every place where they were scattered in the day of cloud and darkness.
13 Anis saboota keessaa isaan baasee biyyoota keessaa immoo walitti isaan nan qaba; biyya isaaniittis isaan nan deebisa. Ani gaarran Israaʼel irra, qarqara burqaawwaniitii fi lafa namni jiraatu kan biyya sana keessaa hunda isaan nan tikfadha.
And I will bring them out from the Gentiles, and will gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land, and will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, and in the valleys, and in every inhabited place of the land.
14 Ani marga gaarii keessa isaan nan tiksa; tulluun Israaʼelis iddoo dheeda isaanii taʼa. Isaan achitti lafa dheedaa tolaa isaa irra ciciisu; marga misaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel irraas ni dheedu.
I will feed them in a good pasture, on a high mountain of Israel: and their folds shall be there, and they shall lie down, and there shall they rest in perfect prosperity, and they shall feed in a fat pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15 Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan tikfadha; akka isaan boqotanis nan godha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to rest; and they shall know that I am the Lord: thus says the Lord God.
16 Kanneen badan nan barbaada; kanneen miliqan deebisee nan galcha. Kan cabe nan hidha; kan dadhabe illee nan jajjabeessa; gabbataa fi jabaa isaa immoo nan balleessa. Ani murtii qajeelaadhaan bushaayee nan tikfadha.
I will seek that which is lost, and I will recover the stray one, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the fainting, and will guard the strong, and will feed them with judgment.
17 “‘Isin garuu yaa bushaayee ko, Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani hoolaa fi hoolaa gidduutti, korbeessa hoolaatii fi korbeessa reʼee gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
And [as for] you, you sheep, thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will distinguish between sheep and sheep, [between] rams and he-goats.
18 Marga misaa keessa dheeduun keessan isin hin gaʼuu? Isin marga keessan kan hafe lafatti dhidhiituu qabduu? Bishaan qulqulluu dhuguun isinitti xinnaatee? Bishaan hafe immoo miilla keessaniin booressuu qabduu?
And [is it] not enough for you that you fed on the good pasture, that you trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? and [that] you drank the standing water, [that] you disturbed the residue with your feet?
19 Bushaayeen koo waan isin lafatti dhidhiittan soorachuu, waan isin miilla keessaniin dhoqqeessitan immoo dhuguu qabuu?
So my sheep fed on that which you had trampled with your feet; and they drank the water that had been disturbed by your feet.
20 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana isaaniin jedha: Kunoo, ani mataan koo hoolaa gabbatee fi hoolaa huqqate gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will separate between the strong sheep and the weak sheep.
21 Sababii isin hoolota dadadhaboo hunda cinaachaa fi gatiittii keessaniin dhiibdanii, gaanfa keessaniin immoo jifattanii alatti baaftaniif,
You did thrust with your sides and shoulders, and pushed with your horns, and you cruelly treated all the sick.
22 ani bushaayee koo nan oolfadha; isaanis siʼachi hin saamaman. Ani hoolaa fi hoolaa gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
Therefore I will save my sheep, and they shall not be any more for a prey; and will judge between ram and ram.
23 Ani tiksee tokko jechuunis garbicha koo Daawitiin isaanittan ramada; inni isaan eega; tiksee isaaniis ni taʼa.
And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall tend them, [even] my servant David, and he shall be their shepherd;
24 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; Daawit garbichi koo immoo gidduu isaaniitti bulchaa ni taʼa. Ani Waaqayyo waan kana dubbadheera.
and I the Lord will be to them a God, and David a prince in the midst of them; I the Lord have spoken it.
25 “‘Ani isaan wajjin kakuu nagaa nan gala; akka isaan gammoojjii keessa jiraatanii bosona keessa nagaan ciciisaniif bineensota hamoo biyyattii keessaa nan baasa.
And I will make with David a covenant of peace and I will utterly destroy evil beasts from off the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and sleep in the forests.
26 Ani isaanii fi iddoowwan tulluu koo marsanii jiran nan eebbisa. Bokkaas yeroo isaatti nan roobsa; roobni sunis rooba eebbaa ni taʼa.
And I will settle them round about my mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain of blessing.
27 Mukkeen bakkee ija naqatu; laftis midhaan ni baafti; namoonni biyya isaanii keessatti tasgabbiin ni jiraatu. Yeroo ani danqaraa waanjoo isaanii cabsee harka warra isaan garboomfataniitii isaan baasutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
And the trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them.
28 Isaan siʼachi sabootaan hin saamaman yookaan bineensota bosonaatiin hin nyaataman. Nagaadhaan jiraatu; wanni isaan sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
And they shall no more be a spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
29 Ani lafa midhaan baasuudhaan beekame isaaniif nan kenna; isaan biyyattii keessatti siʼachi beelaan hin miidhaman yookaan sabootaaf waan kolfaa hin taʼan.
And I will raise up for them a plant of peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach of the nations.
30 Yommus akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isaan wajjin jiruu fi akka manni Israaʼel saba koo taʼe isaan ni beeku, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and they my people. O house of Israel, says the Lord God,
31 Isin hoolonni koo, hoolonni tika koo namoota; anis Waaqa keessan, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
you are my sheep, even the sheep of my flock, and I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.
