Izraa 9
1 Erga wanni kun hojjetamee booddee hooggantoonni gara koo dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Sabni Israaʼel lubootaa fi Lewwota illee dabalatee saboota ollaa isaanii kanneen hojii jibbisiisaa hojjetan jechuunis Kanaʼaanota, Heetota, Feerzota, Yebuusota, Amoonota, Moʼaabota, warra Gibxii fi Amoorota irraa addaan baʼanii hin jiraanne.
Now when these things were completed, the leaders approached me and said, "The people of Israel, and the cohanim and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those of the Canaanites, the Hethites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
2 Isaanis intallan jaraa ofii isaaniitiif fuudhanii ilmaan isaaniis fuusisanii sanyii qulqulluu sana saboota naannoo isaaniitti makan. Hooggantoonnii fi qondaaltonnis balleessaa kana hojjechuu keessatti dura aantota turan.”
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Indeed, the hand of the officials and leaders has been foremost in this trespass."
3 Ani yeroon waan kana dhagaʼetti qomee koo fi uffata koo nan tarsaasee, rifeensa mataa koo fi areeda koo of irraa buqqisee akka malee rifadheen taaʼe.
When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.
4 Kana irratti namoonni dubbii Waaqa Israaʼeliin hollatan hundi sababii balleessaa warra boojuudhaa deebiʼan kanaaf naannoo kootti walitti qabaman. Anis akka malee rifadhee hamma aarsaa galgalaatti achuman taaʼe.
Then were assembled to me everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of their trespass of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening offering.
5 Anis yeroo aarsaa galgalaatti akkuma qomee fi uffanni koo tarsaʼee jirutti lafan gaddee taaʼaa turee kaʼee jilbeenfadhee harka koo gara Waaqayyo Waaqa kootti balʼisee
At the evening offering I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God;
6 akkana jedheen kadhadhe: “Yaa Waaqa ko, sababii cubbuun keenya mataa keenya bira ol darbee yakki keenyas samii gaʼeef, yaa Waaqa koo ani fuula koo gara keetti deebiffachuu akka malee qaanaʼeera; saalfadheeras.
and I said, "My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens.
7 Bara abbootii keenyaatii jalqabee hamma ammaatti balleessaan keenya guddaa dha. Sababii cubbuu keenyaaf nu, mootonni keenyaa fi luboonni keenya akkuma harʼaa kana harka mootota ormaa jalatti goraadee fi boojuutti, saamichaa fi salphinatti dabarfamnee kennamneerra.
Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our cohanim, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
8 “Amma garuu Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya hambaa nuu hambisee iddoo isaa qulqulluu sana keessatti iddoo amansiisaa nuuf kennuudhaan yeroo gabaabaadhaaf garaa nuuf laafeera; akkasiinis Waaqni keenya ija keenyaaf ifa kenneera; garbummaa keenya keessattis xinnoo nu boqochiiseera.
Now for a little moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
9 Nu garboota taanu illee Waaqni keenya garbummaa keessatti nu hin ganne. Inni fuula mootota Faares duratti jaalala isaa kan hin geeddaramne sana nu argisiiseera. Inni akka nu mana Waaqa keenyaa deebifnee ijaarruu fi akka diigamaa isaa illee iddootti deebifnuuf jireenya haaraa nuuf kenneera; Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessattis dallaa daʼannoo nuu kenneera.
For we are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
10 “Amma garuu yaa Waaqa keenya nu kana booddee maal jechuu dandeenya? Nu ajaja
"Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,
11 ati karaa garboota kee raajotaan kennite sanaaf hin ajajamneetii; innis akkana jedha: ‘Biyyi isin dhaaluudhaaf seenuutti jirtan xuraaʼummaa saba biyya sanaan xuroofteerti. Isaan hojii jibbisiisaa isaaniitiin handaara tokkoo hamma handaara kaanitti xuraaʼummaa isaaniitiin biyyattii guutaniiru.
which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, 'The land, to which you go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.
12 Kanaafuu intallan keessan ilmaan isaanitti hin heerumsiisinaa yookaan ilmaan keessan intallan isaanii hin fuusisinaa. Akka jabaattaniif, akka waan gaarii biyya sanaa nyaattanii biyyatti illee dhaala bara baraa gootanii ijoollee keessanitti dabarsitaniif yoom iyyuu isaan wajjin walii galtee michummaa hin barbaadinaa.’
Now therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever; that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.'
13 “Wanni nurra gaʼe kun gatii gochawwan hammina keenyaa fi yakka keenya guddaa sanaa ti; haa taʼuutii ati Waaqni keenya adaba cubbuu keenyaaf maluun gad nu adabdee hambaa akkanaa nuu kenniteerta.
"After all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant,
14 Nu amma illee ajaja kee cabsinee saba hojiiwwan jibbisiisoo hojjetu kanaan wal haa fuunuu? Yoos ati akka malee nutti dheekkamtee hamma hambaan tokko iyyuu hin hafnetti nu hin balleessituu ree?
shall we again break your commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn't you be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
15 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, ati qajeelaa dha! Nu harʼa hambaa taanee jiraanneerra. Tokkoon keenya iyyuu sababii yakka keenyaaf fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dadhabnu illee nu kunoo yakkuma keenya wajjin fuula kee dura jirra.”
The LORD, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is this day. Look, we are before you in our guiltiness; for none can stand before you because of this."
