< Hisqiʼeel 38 >

1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara Googi, bulchaa hangafticha Meshekii fi Tuubaalii kan biyya Maagoogitti garagalfadhu; isaan mormuudhaanis raajii dubbadhuutii
“Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy about him.
3 akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa Googi, bulchaa hangafticha Meshekii fi Tuubaal, ani sitti kaʼa.
And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal.
4 Ani duubatti sin deebisa; haʼoo kee keessa hokkoo galchee loltoota kee hunda wajjin, fardeen kee, abbootii fardeenii kee kanneen hidhata waraanaa guutuu hidhatan, waldaa guddaa kanneen gaachana gurguddaa fi xixiqqaa qabatanii fi kanneen hundi isaanii goraadee qabatan wajjin sin baasa.
And I will turn you around, and I will place a bit in your jaws. And I will lead you away, with all your army, the horses and the horsemen all clothed in armor, a great multitude, equipped with spears and light shields and swords,
5 Faaresi, Itoophiyaa fi Fuuxi kanneen hundi isaanii gaachanaa fi gonfoo sibiilaa qabatan isaan wajjin taʼu;
the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets,
6 akkasumas Goomer loltoota ishee hunda wajjin, kaaba fagootii Beet Toogarmaa loltoota ishee hunda wajjin, saboota hedduus sitti dabalee nan baasa.
Gomer, and all his companies, the house of Togarmah, the northern parts, and all his strength, and the many peoples with you.
7 “‘Qophaaʼi; atii fi waldaan si biratti walitti qabame hundi qophaaʼaa; ajajaa isaaniis taʼi.
Prepare and equip yourself, with all your multitude which has been assembled to you. And you shall be like a commandment to them.
8 Guyyaa hedduu booddee ati lolaaf ni waamamta. Waggoota fuula duraa keessa ati biyyattii lola irraa dandamatte, kan namoonni ishee saboota baayʼee keessaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel irratti walitti qabaman, kan bara dheeraaf ontee turte sana ni weerarta Isaan saboota keessaa baafamaniiru; amma hundi isaanii nagaadhaan jiraatu.
After many days, you will be visited. At the end of the years, you will arrive at the land which was turned back by the sword, and which has been gathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel that have been continually abandoned. These ones have been led away from the peoples, and all of them will be living confidently within it.
9 Atii fi loltoonni kee hundi, saboonni baayʼeen si wajjin jiranis akka bubbee ol ni baatu; ati akka duumessa biyyattii haguuguu ni taata.
But you will ascend and arrive like a tempest and like a cloud, so that you may cover the land, you and all your companies, and the many peoples with you.
10 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Gaafas yaadni sammuu keetti ni dhufa; atis hammina ni malatta
Thus says the Lord God: In that day, words will climb into your heart, and you will invent a most wicked plan.
11 Ati akkana jetta; “Ani biyya gandoonni ishee dallaa hin qabne tokko nan weerara; ani namoota nagaa fi tasgabbiidhaan jiraatan jechuunis warra dallaa, balbalaa fi danqaraawwan hin qabne hunda nan dhaʼa.
And you will say: ‘I will ascend to the land without a wall. I will go to those who are resting and dwelling securely. All these live without a wall; they have no bars or gates.’
12 Ani nan boojiʼa; nan saamas; namoota saboota keessaa walitti qabamanii iddoowwan diigamanitti deebiʼanii qubatan kanneen horii fi meeshaaleedhaan sooromanii handhuura biyyattii keessa jiraatanitti harka koo nan kaasa.”
Thus, you will plunder spoils, and you will take possession of prey, so that you may lay your hand upon those who had been abandoned, and afterwards were restored, and upon a people who were gathered away from the Gentiles, a people who have begun to possess, and to be the inhabitants of, the navel of the earth.
13 Shebaa fi Dedaan, daldaltoonni Tarshiishii fi gandoonni ishee hundi akkana siin jedhu; “Ati boojiʼuuf dhuftee? Ati saamuuf, meetii fi warqee fudhattee deemuuf, horii fi meeshaalee fudhachuuf, boojuu hedduus qabachuuf tuuta kee walitti qabattee?”’
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all its lions will say to you: ‘Could you have arrived in order to purchase from the spoils? Behold, you have gathered your multitude in order to plunder a prey, so that you may take silver and gold, and carry away equipment and substance, and plunder immeasurable wealth.’
14 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, raajii dubbadhuutii Googiin akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Gaafas yeroo sabni koo Israaʼel nagaan jiraatutti ati waan kana hin qalbeeffattuu?
Because of this, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say to Gog: Thus says the Lord God: How is it that you do not know of that day, when my people, Israel, will be living in confidence?
15 Ati iddoo kee kan kaaba fagootii ni dhufta; saboonni baayʼeen kanneen hundi isaanii farda yaabbatan, waldaan guddaan, loltoonni jajjaboon si wajjin ni dhufu.
And you will advance from your place, from the parts of the north, you and the many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and an immense army.
16 Ati akkuma duumessa biyya haguuguutti saba koo Israaʼelitti ni kaata. Yaa Googi, akka saboonni yommuu ani karaa keetiin fuula isaanii duratti qulqullummaa koo argisiisutti na beekaniif, ani bara dhufuuf jiru keessa biyya kootti sin kaasa.
And you will rise up over my people, Israel, like a cloud, so that you may cover the earth. In the latter days, you will be. And I will lead you over my own land, so that the Gentiles may know me, when I will have been sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Namni ani bara durii karaa tajaajiltoota koo raajonni Israaʼeliin waaʼee isaa dubbadhe sun siʼii mitii? Yeroo sana isaan akka ani isaanitti si kaasu bara dheeraaf ni raajan.
Thus says the Lord God: Therefore, you are the one, about whom I spoke in the days of antiquity, by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would lead you over them.
18 Gaafas waan kanatu taʼa; yeroo Googi biyya Israaʼel miidhutti aariin koo ni bobaʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
And this shall be in that day, in the day of the advent of Gog over the land of Israel, says the Lord God: my indignation will rise up in my fury.
19 Yeroo sana Israaʼel keessatti sochiin lafaa guddaan isaa akka taʼu, ani hinaaffaa fi dheekkamsa koo bobaʼaa sanaan nan dubbadha.
And I have spoken, in my zeal and in the fire of my wrath, that there shall be a great commotion over the land of Israel, in that day.
20 Qurxummiin galaanaa, simbirroonni samii, bineensonni dirree, uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan, namoonni lafa irra jiraatan hundi argamuu kootti ni hollatu. Tulluuwwan ni jigu; ededni hallayyaa ni fottoqa; dallaan hundis ni jiga.
And before my face there shall be stirred up: the fish of the sea, and the flying things of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every crawling thing that moves across the soil, and all the men who are upon the face of the earth. And the mountains will be overturned, and the hedges will fall, and every wall will fall in ruin to the ground.
21 Ani tulluuwwan koo hunda irratti Googitti goraadee nan waama, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Goraadeen nama hundaa obboleessa isaatti ni kaʼa.
And I will call for the sword against him on all my mountains, says the Lord God. Each one’s sword will be directed toward his brother.
22 Ani adabbii dhaʼichaatii fi dhiiga dhangalaasuu isatti nan mura; isaa fi loltoota isaatti, saboota isa wajjin jiran hedduuttis bokkaa hamaa, cabbii fi dinyii bobaʼu nan roobsa.
And I will judge him by pestilence, and blood, and violent rainstorms, and immense hailstones. I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many peoples who are with him.
23 Kanaanis guddinaa fi qulqullina koo nan argisiisa; fuula saboota baayʼee durattis of nan beeksisa; ergasii isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.’
And I will be magnified and sanctified. And I will be known in the eyes of the many nations. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
