Hisqiʼeel 36
1 “Yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii tulluuwwan Israaʼeliitiif raaji; ‘Yaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear you the word of the Lord:
2 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Diinni waaʼee keessan, “Ishoo! Iddoowwan ol kaʼoon durii dhuunfaa keenya taʼaniiru” jedhe.’
Thus says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us:
3 Kanaafuu raajiitii akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii isaan qixa hundaan marsanii isin waraananiif, isin saboota kaaniif dhuunfaa taatan; namootaafis waan mammaaksaatii fi waan qoosaa taatan;
therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have been dishonored, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations:
4 kanaafuu yaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel, dubbii Waaqayyo Gooftaa dhagaʼaa: Waaqayyo Gooftaan tulluuwwanii fi gaarraniin, lageenii fi sululawwaniin, onawwan diigamanii fi magaalaawwan duwwaa hafan kanneen saboota naannoo keessan jiraniin saamamanii waan qoosaa taʼaniin akkana jedha:
therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about;
5 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani aarii koo kan bobaʼu sanaan saboota hafanii fi Edoom hunda irratti dubbadheera; isaan gammachuu fi tuffii garaadhaa qabaniin lafa dheeda ishee saamuuf jedhanii biyya koo handhuuraa ofii isaanii godhatan.’
therefore, thus says the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of the inhabitants], to destroy [it] by plunder:
6 Kanaafuu waaʼee biyya Israaʼeliif raajii dubbadhuutii tulluuwwanii fi gaarraniin, lageenii fi sululawwaniin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii isin sabootaan tuffatamtaniif, ani hinaaffaa dheekkamsa kootiitiin nan dubbadha.
therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen:
7 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani akka saboonni naannoo keessan jiraatani tuffatamaniif harka koo ol qabadhee nan kakadha.
therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.
8 “‘Yaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel, isin garuu saba koo Israaʼeliif dameewwanii fi ijawwan naqattu; isaan dhiʼeenyatti biyyatti ni deebiʼuutii.
But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come.
9 Ani isiniif nan yaada; gara laafinaanis isinan ilaala; isin ni qotamtu; sanyiinis isinitti facaafama;
For, behold, I am toward you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall be tilled and sown:
10 ani lakkoobsa uummataa kan guutummaa mana Israaʼel nan baayʼisa. Magaalaawwan namaan ni guutamu; wanni diigames deebiʼee ni ijaarama.
and I will multiply men upon you, [even] all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.
11 Ani lakkoobsa namootaatii fi horii irratti nan dabala; isaanis wal horanii baayʼatu. Ani akkuma bara durii sana namoota isin irra qubachiisee kan durii caalaa isinan sooromsa. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former [times]: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
12 Ani akka namoonni jechuunis sabni koo Israaʼel isin irra deemu nan godha. Isaan isin dhuunfatu; isinis dhaala isaanii ni taatu; lammatas warra ijoollee hin qabne isaan hin gootan.
And I will increase men upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.
13 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Namoonni, “Ati nama nyaatta; saba kees ijoollee malee hambifta” siin jedhu;
Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You [land] devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;
14 ati garuu siʼachi nama hin nyaattu yookaan saba kee ijoollee malee hin hambiftu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
therefore you shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says the Lord God.
15 Ani siʼachi akka ati doorsisa sabootaa dhageessu hin godhu; siʼachi ati tuffii namootaatiin hin dhiphattu yookaan akka sabni kee gufatu hin gootu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.
16 Ammas dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 “Yaa ilma namaa, namoonni Israaʼel yeroo biyya isaanii keessa jiraachaa turanitti amala isaaniitii fi hojii isaaniitiin biyyattii xureessan. Amalli isaanii fuula koo duratti akkuma laguu dubartii kan jiʼa jiʼaan itti dhufu sanaa ture.
Son of man, the house of Israel lived upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18 Sababii isaan biyyaattii keessatti dhiiga dhangalaasanii fi sababii waaqota isaanii tolfamoodhaan biyyattii xureessaniif, ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti nan roobse.
So I poured out my wrath upon them:
19 Ani saboota keessa isaan nan faffacaase; isaanis biyyoota keessa bittinnaaʼan; ani akkuma amala isaaniitii fi hojii isaaniitti isaanitti nan mure.
and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.
20 Iddoo dhaqan hundatti saboota keessatti maqaa koo qulqulluu sana xureessan; waaʼee isaanii, ‘Jarri kun saba Waaqayyoo ti; isaan garuu biyya isaatii baʼaniiru’ jedhameeraatii.
And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land.
21 Ani maqaa koo qulqulluu manni Israaʼel iddoo dhaqan hundatti saboota gidduutti xureessan sanaaf yaadeera.
But I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.
22 “Kanaafuu mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa mana Israaʼel, ani waaʼee maqaa koo qulqulluu isin iddoo dhaqxanitti saboota gidduutti xureessitan sanaatiif malee isiniif jedhee wantoota kanneen hin godhu.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom you went.
23 Ani qulqullina maqaa koo guddichaa kan saboota gidduutti xuraaʼe kan isin saboota gidduutti xureessitan sana nan argisiisa. Yommuu ani karaa keessaniin fuula isaanii duratti qulqulluu taʼuu koo argisiisutti akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe saboonni ni beeku, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes.
24 “‘Ani saboota keessaa isinan baafadhaatii; ani biyyoota keessaa walitti isin qabee biyya keessanitti deebisee isinan fida.
And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land:
25 Ani bishaan qulqulluu isinitti nan facaasa; isinis ni qulqullooftu; ani xuraaʼummaa keessan hunda irraa fi waaqota keessan tolfamoo hunda irraa isinan qulqulleessa.
and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.
26 Ani onnee haaraa isiniif nan kenna; hafuura haaraas isin keessa nan kaaʼa; onnee dhagaa isin keessaa baasee onnee foonii isiniif nan kenna.
And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
27 Akka isin dambii koo duukaa buutanii fi seera koo sirriitti eegdaniif ani Hafuura koo isin keessa nan kaaʼa.
And I will put my Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgments, and do [them].
28 Isin biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kenne keessa ni jiraattu; isin saba koo ni taatu; anis Waaqa keessan nan taʼa.
And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.
29 Ani xuraaʼummaa keessan hunda irraa isinan qulqulleessa. Ani midhaan nan waama; nan baayʼisas; beelas isinitti hin fidu.
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you.
30 Akka isin siʼachi sababii beelaatiin fuula sabootaa duratti hin salphanneef, ija mukkeeniitii fi midhaan lafa qotiisaa nan baayʼisa.
And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine among the nations.
31 Ergasiis karaa hammina keessaniitii fi hojii jalʼina keessanii ni yaadattu; sababii cubbuu keessaniitii fi hojii keessan jibbisiisaa sanaatiifis of balfitu.
And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations.
32 Akka ani waan kana isiniif jedhee hin hojjetin akka beektan nan barbaada, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Yaa mana Israaʼel, waaʼee amala keessaniitiif qaanaʼaa; saalfadhaas!
Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you: be you ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani gaafan cubbuu keessan hunda irraa isin qulqulleessutti, akka magaalaawwan keessan deebiʼanii lafa jireenyaa taʼa nan godha; kanneen diigamanis deebiʼanii ijaaramu.
Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon:
34 Lafti onee ture qooda fuula namoota karaa sanaan darban hunda duratti onee hafu ni qotama.
and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by.
35 Isaan, “Lafti ona ture kun akka lafa biqiltuu Eeden taʼeera; magaalaawwan diigamanii, onanii barbadaaʼanis amma dallaan itti ijaaramee namaan guutamaniiru” jedhu.
And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.
36 Ergasii namoonni hafan kanneen naannoo kee jiraatan akka ani Waaqayyo waan barbadaaʼe deebisee ijaaree waan ones deebisee dhaabe ni beeku. Ani Waaqayyo dubbadheera; nan raawwadhas.’
And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted the waste [lands]: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
37 “Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ammas kadhannaa mana Israaʼel dhagaʼee waan kana isaaniif nan godha: Namoota isaanii akkuma hoolotaa nan baayʼisa;
Thus says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;
38 akkuma bushaayee yeroo ayyaanaa Yerusaalem keessatti aarsaaf dhiʼeeffamaniitti nan baayʼisa. Kanaafuu magaalaawwan diigamanii turan waldaa namootaatiin ni guutamu. Ergasii isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
