Hisqiʼeel 34
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 thou shalt say unto them, even to the shepherds— Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh— Alas! for the shepherds of Israel who have been tending, themselves, Is it not the flock that the shepherds should tend?
3 Isin cooma ni nyaattu; suufii ni uffattu; horii gabbataa ni qalattu; bushaayee garuu hin soortan.
The milk, ye do eat And with the wool, ye do clothe your- selves, The well-fed, ye do sacrifice, The flock, ye do not tend
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, have ye not strengthened And, the sick, have ye not healed. And the torn, have ye not bound up, And that which was driven out, have ye not brought back, And that which was straying, have ye not sought out; But with force, have ye ruled them and with rigour.
5 Kanaafuu isaan sababii tikseen hin jirreef bittinnaaʼan; yeroo bittinnaaʼanittis bineensota bosonaatiif soora taʼan.
And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered.
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.
My sheep did wander through all the mountains, And over every high hill, - And over all the face of the land, were my sheep scattered, And there was none to inquire And none to seek out.
7 “‘Kanaafuu isin tiksoonni, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
Wherefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
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, — Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, —But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not
9 yaa tiksoota, kanaafuu isin dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
Therefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
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, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against the shepherds So then I will require my flock at their hand And will cause them to cease tending the flock, Neither shall the shepherds any longer tend themselves, But I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not be their food.
11 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan barbaadadha; nan tikfadhas.
For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, - Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out:
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 a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick 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 among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable places 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.
In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, — There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.
15 Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan tikfadha; akka isaan boqotanis nan godha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
I myself, will tend my flock. And, I myself, will cause them to lie down, Declareth My Lord Yahweh:
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.
That which is straying, will I seek out. And that which hath been driven away, will I bring back, And that which is torn, will I bind up, And the weak, will I strengthen, - But the fat and the strong, will I watch I will feed them with justice.
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 O my flock, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh: Behold me! judging between one kind of small cattle and another as well the rams as the 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?
Is it too small a thing for you that on the good pasture, ye feed, But the remainder of your pastures, ye must needs trample down with your feet? Or that of the pure waters, ye drink But the waters left remaining—with your feet, ye must needs foul?
19 Bushaayeen koo waan isin lafatti dhidhiittan soorachuu, waan isin miilla keessaniin dhoqqeessitan immoo dhuguu qabuu?
And my flock On what hath been trampled down by your feet, may feed, And of what hath been fouled by your feet, may drink?
20 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana isaaniin jedha: Kunoo, ani mataan koo hoolaa gabbatee fi hoolaa huqqate gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, unto them: Here am I myself. Therefore will I judge between fat sheep and lean sheep,
21 Sababii isin hoolota dadadhaboo hunda cinaachaa fi gatiittii keessaniin dhiibdanii, gaanfa keessaniin immoo jifattanii alatti baaftaniif,
Because with the side and with the shoulder, ye do thrust, And with your horns, ye do push all the sick, — Until you have scattered them abroad
22 ani bushaayee koo nan oolfadha; isaanis siʼachi hin saamaman. Ani hoolaa fi hoolaa gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
Therefore will I bring salvation to my flock, and they shall be no longer a prey, —but I will judge between one sheep and another,
23 Ani tiksee tokko jechuunis garbicha koo Daawitiin isaanittan ramada; inni isaan eega; tiksee isaaniis ni taʼa.
And I will raise up over them one shepherd And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, — He, will tend them, And, he, will become to them a shepherd;
24 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; Daawit garbichi koo immoo gidduu isaaniitti bulchaa ni taʼa. Ani Waaqayyo waan kana dubbadheera.
And, I Yahweh, will become to them a God. my servant David, being a prince in their midst, — I Yahweh, have spoken;
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 solemnise for them a covenant of prosperity, And will cause to cease the mischievous wild-beast out of the land, And they shall dwell in the wilderness, securely, And shall 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 make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, - And I will cause the abundant rain to come down in its season abundant rains of blessing, shall they be;
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 tree of the field shall yield his fruit And, the land, shall yield her increase, And they shall remain on their own soil in security, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, When I have broken the bars of their yoke, And shall deliver them out of the hand of them who have been using them as slaves.
28 Isaan siʼachi sabootaan hin saamaman yookaan bineensota bosonaatiin hin nyaataman. Nagaadhaan jiraatu; wanni isaan sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
And they shall be no longer a prey for the nations, Nor shall the wild beast of the earth! devour them, — But they shall dwell securely with none to put them in terror.
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 unto them a plantation for fame, - And there shall be no longer the destroyed of hunger in the land, Neither shall they bear any longer 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.
So shall they know that, I, Yahweh their God am with them, - And that they are my people the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
31 Isin hoolonni koo, hoolonni tika koo namoota; anis Waaqa keessan, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
Ye, therefore, my flock the flock of my pasture, are, men, — I, am your God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
