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 comes to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house, and [the] elderly of Judah are sitting before me, and there a hand of Lord YHWH falls on 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 look, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward—fire, and from His loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of electrum.
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 puts forth a form of a hand, and takes me by a lock of my head, and [the] Spirit lifts me up between the earth and the heavens, and brings me to Jerusalem in visions of God, to the opening of the inner gate that is facing the north, where the seat of the figure of jealousy [is] that is making jealous,
4 Ulfinni Waaqa Israaʼel kan ani mulʼataan dirree keessatti argee ture sun achittis fuula koo dura ture.
and behold, there the glory of the God of Israel [is] as the appearance that I saw in the valley.
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 says to me, “Son of man, now lift up your eyes [toward] the way of the north.” And I lift up my eyes [toward] the way of the north, and behold, on the north of the gate of the altar [is] this figure of jealousy, at the entrance.
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 says to me, “Son of man, are you seeing what they are doing? The great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and turn again, [and] see great abominations.”
7 Ergasii inni gara karra oobdiitti na fide. Anis milʼadhee qaawwa keenyan manaa nan arge.
And He brings me to an opening of the court, and I look, and behold, a hole in the wall;
8 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, keenyan manaa uri” naan jedhe. Kanaafuu ani keenyan manaa sana uree balbala tokko achitti nan arge.
and He says to me, “Son of man, now dig through the wall”; and I dig through the wall, and behold, an opening.
9 Innis, “Ol seeniitii waan hamaa fi jibbisiisaa isaan asitti hojjechaa jiran kana ilaali” naan jedhe.
And He says to me, “Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing 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.
And I go in, and look, and behold, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast—and all the idols of the house of Israel—carved on the wall, all around,
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 from [the] elderly of the house of Israel—and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst—are standing before them, and each [with] his censer in his hand, and [the] abundance of [the] cloud of the incense is going 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 says to me, “Have you seen, son of man, that which elderly of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each in [the] inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, YHWH is not seeing us, YHWH has forsaken the land?”
13 Ammas inni, “Ati wantoota kana caalaa jibbisiisoo taʼan kan isaan hojjetan iyyuu ni argita” jedhe.
And He says to me, “Turn again, [and] see [the] great abominations that they are doing.”
14 Ergasii gara karra balbala kaabaa kan mana Waaqayyootti na fide; achittis dubartoota tataaʼanii waaqa tolfamaa Tamuuz jedhamuuf booʼaa jiran nan arge.
And He brings me to the opening of the gate of the house of YHWH that [is] at the north, and behold, there the women are sitting, weeping for Tammuz.
15 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, kana argitaa? Ati wantoota kana caalaa jibbisiisoo taʼani iyyuu ni argita” naan jedhe.
And He says to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Turn again, [and] see greater abominations than 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 brings me into the inner court of the house of YHWH, and behold, at the opening of the temple of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of YHWH, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to 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 says to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Has it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? And behold, they are putting forth the branch to their nose!
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.”
And I also deal in fury, My eye does not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried [with] a loud voice in My ears and I do not hear them.”
