Hisqiʼeel 36
1 “Yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii tulluuwwan Israaʼeliitiif raaji; ‘Yaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
But thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord.
2 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Diinni waaʼee keessan, “Ishoo! Iddoowwan ol kaʼoon durii dhuunfaa keenya taʼaniiru” jedhe.’
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the enemy hath said regarding you, Aha, even the ancient high-places are become ours as a possession:
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Because, even because men have made you desolate, and sought to swallow you up on every side, that ye might become a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up as a talk for tongues, and an evil report of the people:
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, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins, and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Idumea, that have appropriated my land unto themselves as a possession with the joy of all their heart, with derision in their soul, in order to drive it out that it may be for a prey.
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 unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, In my zealousness and in my fury have I spoken, because ye have borne the reproach of the nations:
7 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani akka saboonni naannoo keessan jiraatani tuffatamaniif harka koo ol qabadhee nan kakadha.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I have indeed lifted up my hand, that the nations who are round about you— these shall bear their shame.
8 “‘Yaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel, isin garuu saba koo Israaʼeliif dameewwanii fi ijawwan naqattu; isaan dhiʼeenyatti biyyatti ni deebiʼuutii.
But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall send forth your boughs, and your fruit shall ye bear for my people Israel, for they are near at hand to come.
9 Ani isiniif nan yaada; gara laafinaanis isinan ilaala; isin ni qotamtu; sanyiinis isinitti facaafama;
For, behold, I will be for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and ye shall be sown;
10 ani lakkoobsa uummataa kan guutummaa mana Israaʼel nan baayʼisa. Magaalaawwan namaan ni guutamu; wanni diigames deebiʼee ni ijaarama.
And I will multiply upon you men, all the house of Israel— altogether; and the cities shall be inhabited again, and the ruins shall be rebuilt;
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 upon you men and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your old estates, and will do more good unto you than at your beginnings: and ye 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.
Yea, I will cause to walk upon you men, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be unto them as an inheritance, and thou shalt not any more henceforth cast them out.
13 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Namoonni, “Ati nama nyaatta; saba kees ijoollee malee hambifta” siin jedhu;
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast been one that hath ever cast out thy nations:
14 ati garuu siʼachi nama hin nyaattu yookaan saba kee ijoollee malee hin hambiftu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Therefore shalt thou not devour up men any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 I will not let be heard against thee any more the reproach of the nations, and the disgrace of the people shalt thou not bear any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.
16 Ammas dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came unto 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, when they dwelt in their own land, defiled it through their way and through their doings: like the uncleanness of a woman in her separation was their way before me.
18 Sababii isaan biyyaattii keessatti dhiiga dhangalaasanii fi sababii waaqota isaanii tolfamoodhaan biyyattii xureessaniif, ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti nan roobse.
And I poured out my fury over them because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and because through their idols they had polluted it;
19 Ani saboota keessa isaan nan faffacaase; isaanis biyyoota keessa bittinnaaʼan; ani akkuma amala isaaniitii fi hojii isaaniitti isaanitti nan mure.
And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings did I judge them.
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 when they were come unto the nations, whither they were gone, they profaned my holy name; because they said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and out of his land are they gone forth.
21 Ani maqaa koo qulqulluu manni Israaʼel iddoo dhaqan hundatti saboota gidduutti xureessan sanaaf yaadeera.
But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they were gone.
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 unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Not for your sake do I this, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye are gone.
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 ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your eyes.
24 “‘Ani saboota keessaa isinan baafadhaatii; ani biyyoota keessaa walitti isin qabee biyya keessanitti deebisee isinan fida.
And I will take you from among the nations, and I will gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you unto 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 upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean: from all your impurities, and from all your idols, will I 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 a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of your body, and I 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 my spirit I will put within you, and I will cause that you shall walk in my statutes, and that my ordinances ye shall keep, and do them.
28 Isin biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kenne keessa ni jiraattu; isin saba koo ni taatu; anis Waaqa keessan nan taʼa.
And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be unto me for a people, and I truly will be unto you as 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 kinds of your impurities; and I will call unto the corn, and increase it, and I will not lay 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 products of the field: in order that ye may receive no more reproach on account 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.
Then shall ye remember your ways that they were evil, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves on account of your iniquities and on account of 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 sake do I this, saith the Lord Eternal, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded because of 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day of my cleansing you from all your iniquities, when I cause the cities to be inhabited, and when the ruins are built up,
34 Lafti onee ture qooda fuula namoota karaa sanaan darban hunda duratti onee hafu ni qotama.
And when the desolate land is tilled, instead that it was a waste before the eyes of every passer by:
35 Isaan, “Lafti ona ture kun akka lafa biqiltuu Eeden taʼeera; magaalaawwan diigamanii, onanii barbadaaʼanis amma dallaan itti ijaaramee namaan guutamaniiru” jedhu.
Then shall they say, This land, that was desolate, is become like the garden of 'Eden; and the cities that were ruined, and desolate, and broken down, are become fortified, and 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 that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have built up the broken-down [places], have planted the desolate [land]: I the Lord have spoken this, and have done it.
37 “Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ammas kadhannaa mana Israaʼel dhagaʼee waan kana isaaniif nan godha: Namoota isaanii akkuma hoolotaa nan baayʼisa;
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Also in this will I yet suffer myself to be entreated of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like flocks [in multitude].
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 the flocks of the holy things, as the flocks of Jerusalem on her appointed feasts, so shall the ruined cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
