Hisqiʼeel 8
1 Waggaa jaʼaffaatti, jiʼa jaʼaffaa keessa guyyaa shanaffaatti, utuu ani mana koo keessa taaʼee, maanguddoonni Yihuudaas fuula koo dura tataaʼanii jiranuu achumatti harki Waaqayyo Gooftaa narra buʼe.
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.
2 Anis milʼadhee fakkaattii akka fakkaattii namaa tokko nan arge. Innis waan mudhii isaa fakkaatuu gaditti ibidda fakkaata ture; achii olitti immoo bifti isaa sibiila ibiddaan diimeffamee ifu fakkaata ture.
And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.
3 Innis waan harka fakkaatu tokkoon hiixatee rifeensa mataa kootii qabe. Hafuurris lafaa fi samii gidduutti ol na fuudhee mulʼata Waaqaatiin gara Yerusaalem, gara karra balbala kaabaa kan oobdii gara keessaatti, iddoo waaqni tolfamaan hinaaffaaf nama kakaasu sun dhaabatee jiruutti na geesse.
And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.
4 Ulfinni Waaqa Israaʼel kan ani mulʼataan dirree keessatti argee ture sun achittis fuula koo dura ture.
And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.
5 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, gara kaabaa ilaali” naan jedhe; anis milʼadhee karaa karra balbala kaabaa kan iddoo aarsaatiin waaqa tolfamaa kan hinaaffaa sana nan arge.
And he said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.
6 Innis akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, wantoota akka malee jibbisiisoo kanneen akka ani iddoo qulqulluu koo irraa fagaadhu na godhan kan manni Israaʼel asitti gochaa jiru kana ni argitaa? Ati garuu waan waan kana caalaa jibbisiisaa taʼe iyyuu ni argita.”
And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and you shall see yet greater iniquities.
7 Ergasii inni gara karra oobdiitti na fide. Anis milʼadhee qaawwa keenyan manaa nan arge.
And he brought me to the porch of the court.
8 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, keenyan manaa uri” naan jedhe. Kanaafuu ani keenyan manaa sana uree balbala tokko achitti nan arge.
And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.
9 Innis, “Ol seeniitii waan hamaa fi jibbisiisaa isaan asitti hojjechaa jiran kana ilaali” naan jedhe.
And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.
10 Anis ol seeneen ilaale; kunoo ani gosa uumamawwan lafa irra looʼanii hunda, bineensota jibbisiisoo hundaa fi waaqota tolfamoo mana Israaʼel hunda keenyan manaa hunda irratti fakkeeffamanii nan arge.
So I went in and looked; and saw vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.
11 Fuula isaanii duras maanguddoonni mana Israaʼel torbaatamni dhadhaabatanii turan; Yaazaniyaan ilmi Shaafaan immoo gidduu isaanii dhaabatee ture. Tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis harka isaaniitti girgiraa qabatanii turan; duumessi aara ixaanaa urgaaʼaanis ol baʼa ture.
And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.
12 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, waan maanguddoonni mana Israaʼel tokkoon tokkoon isaanii galma waaqeffannaa waaqa isaanii tolfamaa sanaa keessatti dukkana keessa hojjetan argiteertaa? Isaan, ‘Waaqayyo nu hin argu; Waaqayyo biyyattii dhiiseera’ jedhan.”
And he said to me, You have seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.
13 Ammas inni, “Ati wantoota kana caalaa jibbisiisoo taʼan kan isaan hojjetan iyyuu ni argita” jedhe.
And he said to me, You shall see yet greater iniquities which these do.
14 Ergasii gara karra balbala kaabaa kan mana Waaqayyootti na fide; achittis dubartoota tataaʼanii waaqa tolfamaa Tamuuz jedhamuuf booʼaa jiran nan arge.
And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.
15 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, kana argitaa? Ati wantoota kana caalaa jibbisiisoo taʼani iyyuu ni argita” naan jedhe.
And he said to me, Son of man, you have seen; but you shall yet see [evil] practices greater then these.
16 Ergasii immoo gara oobdii mana Waaqayyoo isa gara keessaatti na fide; achis balbala mana qulqullummaa dura gardaafoo fi iddoo aarsaa gidduu namoota gara digdamii shaniitu ture. Isaanis dugda isaanii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti, fuula isaanii immoo gara baʼa biiftuutti deebifatanii, gara baʼaatti garagalanii aduuf sagadaa turan.
And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.
17 Innis akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, ati waan kana argitaa? Wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen asitti hojjechuun isaanii mana Yihuudaatiif laayyoodhaa? Isaan gooliidhaan biyyattii guutanii yeroo hunda aariif na kakaasuu qabuu? Kunoo isaan funyaan isaaniitti damee kaaʼataniiru!
And he said to me, Son of man, you have seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.
18 Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsaan isaanitti nan dhufa; ija gara laafinaatiinis isaan hin ilaalu yookaan isaan hin baasu. Isaan gurra kootti iyyan iyyuu, ani isaan hin dhagaʼu.”
Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
