Hisqiʼeel 7
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, Waaqayyo Gooftaan biyya Israaʼeliin akkana jedha: “‘Dhuma! Golee biyyattii afranitti dhumni dhufeera.
“You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to [the people] [MTY] of Israel: All of Israel will soon be destroyed.
3 Ammas dhumni kee gaʼeera; dheekkamsa koo sirratti nan dhangalaasa; ani akkuma amala keetiitti sitti nan mura; gochawwan kee jibbisiisoo hundaafis ani sin adaba.
[people of Israel], the end has come. I will punish you severely. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done, and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
4 Ani gara laafinaan si hin ilaalu yookaan si hin baasu; ani hamma gochawwan kee jibbisiisoon sun si gidduu jiranitti, amala keetiif sin adaba. “‘Ergasiis isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’
I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will [surely] punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have done it].”
5 “Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “‘Badii! Badiin takkaa hin dhagaʼamin tokko dhufaa jira.
This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “You will soon experience many terrible disasters!
6 Dhumni dhufeera! Dhumni dhufeera! Inni mataan isaa isinitti kaʼeera. Inni dhufeera!
This will be the [of Israel]; your country will be finished! And your [lives] will be ended [PRS]!
7 Yaa warra biyyattii keessa jiraattan, badiin isinitti dhufeera. Yeroon gaʼeera; guyyaan dhiʼaateera; tulluuwwan irratti gammachuu utuu hin taʼin jeequmsatu taʼa.
It will be the end of you people who live in the [of Israel]. The time has come; the [when you will be destroyed] is near. At that time [the people who worship idols] on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.
8 Ani dheekkamsa koo sitti dhangalaasuudhaafan jira; aarii koo illee sitti nan baʼa; akkuma amala keetiittis sitti nan mura; gochaawwan kee jibbisiisoo sana hundaafis sin adaba.
I am very angry with you and am about to pour out my punishment [MTY] on you. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
9 Ani gara laafinaan si hin ilaalu yookaan si hin baraaru. Hamma gochawwan kee jibbisiisoon sun si gidduu jiranitti ani akkuma amala keetiitti sin adaba. “‘Ergasiis akka kan rukutu sun ana Waaqayyo taʼe isin ni beektu.
I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will surely punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have punished you.
10 “‘Guyyaan sun kunoo ti! Inni dhufeera! Badiin cabsee dhufeera; uleen lateera; of tuulummaan daraareera!
The [of your punishment] is here! It has arrived! Disasters have come.
11 Gooliin guddatee ulee hammina adabu taʼeera; isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu; waldaa isaanii keessaa, qabeenya isaaniitii fi waan faayidaa qabu keessaa tokko iyyuu hin hafu.
People are acting violently and doing more wicked things. And nothing that belongs to those people will be left, none of their money, nothing that is valuable.
12 Yeroon sun dhufeera; guyyaan sun gaʼeera. Inni bitu hin gammadin; kan gurgurus hin gaddin; dheekkamsi guutummaa isaaniitti dhufaatii.
Now is the time; that day has arrived.
13 Hamma lamaan isaanii iyyuu lubbuun jiranitti inni lafa gurgure hin deebifatu; mulʼanni waaʼee sabaatiif mulʼate duubatti hin deebiʼuutii. Sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu lubbuu ofii isaa hin oolfatu.
People who buy things should not [because of buying things very cheaply], and those who sell things should not be [because they had to sell things cheaply], [Yahweh] will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, [I will destroy] all of you people.
14 “‘Sababii dheekkamsi koo waldaa hunda irra jiruuf isaan malakata afuufanii waan hunda qopheeffatan iyyuu, namni tokko iyyuu gara adda waraanaa hin dhaqu.
Even though [soldiers] blow [to prepare for] a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.
15 Alaan goraadeetu jira; keessaan immoo dhaʼichaa fi beelatu jira; warri baadiyyaa goraadeedhaan duʼu; warri magaalaa keessaa immoo beelaa fi dhaʼichaan dhumu.
[When those things happen, your enemies] will be [the city] with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines [the city]. [who flee from the city] into the countryside will be killed [their enemies’] swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
16 Baqattoonni warri miliqan tulluuwwanitti baqatu. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii akkuma gugeewwan sululaa sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif ni aadu.
Those who survive and escape will flee to the mountains, and they all will moan like doves because of their sins.
17 Harki hundi ni naafata; jilbi hundinuus bishaan taʼa.
[Because everyone will be very afraid, ] all the people’s hands will become limp and their knees will become very weak.
18 Isaan wayyaa gaddaa uffatanii sodaadhaan haguugamu. Fuulli isaanii qaanii uffata; mataan isaaniis ni haadama.
They will put on clothes made from rough cloth, and they will be terrified. Their faces will show that they are ashamed, and they will shave their [to show that they are very sad].
19 “‘Isaan meetii isaanii daandiiwwan irratti gatu; warqeen isaanii akka waan xuraaʼaa taʼa. Guyyaa dheekkamsa Waaqayyootti meetii fi warqeen isaanii isaan oolchuu hin dandaʼu. Isaan nyaatanii beela hin baʼan yookaan garaa isaanii hin guuttatan; meetii fi warqeen isaanii isaan gufachiisee cubbuutti isaan galcheeraatii.
They will throw their silver into the streets, and consider that their gold is only like [SIM] garbage, because they will realize that their silver and gold will not be able to rescue them when I, Yahweh, punish them. They will not be able to use their gold and silver to buy things to fill their stomachs, because having a lot of gold and silver has led them to sin.
20 Isaan faaya bareedaa isaaniitiin of tuulanii waaqota isaanii jibbisiisoo fi fakkiiwwan faayidaa hin qabne sana tolchuuf itti fayyadaman. Kanaafuu ani wantoota kanneen gara waan xuraaʼaatti isaan duraa nan geeddara.
They were proud of their beautiful jewelry, and they used it to make their detestable idols and disgusting [of their gods]. So I will cause them to be disgusted with those things.
21 Ani harka namoota biyya ormaatti boojuudhaaf, hamoota lafaattis saamichaaf dabarsee ishee nan kenna; isaanis isa ni xureessu.
I will give their silver and gold to foreigners who invade your country and take away your valuable treasures. I will give those things to wicked people, and they will do disgraceful things to those treasures that I give them.
22 Ani fuula koo isaan irraa nan deebifadha; isaanis iddoo koo jaallatamaa sana ni xureessu; saamtonnis itti seenanii ni xureessu.
I will not (interfere with/stop) [IDM] robbers when they enter my sacred temple and desecrate it.
23 “‘Sababii biyyattiin dhiiga dhangalaasuudhaan, magaalattiin immoo gooliidhaan guutamteef foncaa qopheessi.
Prepare chains to be fastened on you. People are being murdered [MTY] throughout the country, and people are acting violently throughout the city.
24 Ani akka isaan manneen isaanii dhaalaniif warra saboota keessaa akka malee hamoo taʼan nan fida; of tuulummaa namoota jajjaboo nan cabsa; manneen qulqullummaa isaaniis nan xureessa.
So I will bring armies of the nations whose people are extremely wicked to occupy the houses of the Israeli people. I will cause Israeli [who think that they] are [IRO] strong/mighty to no longer be proud. Your enemies will cause your places of worship to no longer be acceptable to be used.
25 Yeroo raafamni dhufutti isaan nagaa barbaadu; garuu tokko illee hin argatan.
When your enemies cause you to be terrified, you will plead for them to make peace, but there will be no peace.
26 Badiin badii irratti, oduunis, oduu irratti ni dhufa. Isaan raajii irraa mulʼata argachuu ni yaalu; seerri luboota biraa, gorsi immoo maanguddoota biraa ni dhabama.
You will experience many disasters, and you will continually hear [about disasters that are happening in other places]. People will plead with prophets to tell them what visions they have received, [but the prophets will not have received any visions]. Priests will no longer teach people the [that I gave to Moses].
27 Mootiin ni booʼa; ilmi mootii abdii kutata; harki uummata biyyattii ni hollata. Ani akkuma hojii isaaniitti gatii isaanii nan kennaaf; akkuma seera ofii isaaniittis murtii nan kennaaf. “‘Ergasiis isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.’”
Your king will mourn, and his son will no [longer] [that good things will happen]. The hands of people throughout the country will tremble. And I will do to them what they deserve for their wicked behavior. I will [and condemn] them the same way they have [and condemned] others. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
