< Anbaaqoom 1 >
1 Raajii Anbaaqoom raajichi arge.
The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw.
2 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani hamma yoomiittin gargaarsaaf sitti iyyadha? Ati garuu na hin dhaggeeffattu; yookaan ani hamma yoomiitti, “Goolii!” jedhee sitti booʼee ati garuu na hin oolchitu?
How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and you will not listen? [how long] shall I cry out to you being injured, and you will not save?
3 Ati maaliif akka ani murtii dabe argu na goota? Ati maaliif balleessaa namaa obsita? Badiisnii fi gooliin fuula koo dura jiru; lollii fi waldhabiinsi baayʼateera.
Therefore have you shown me troubles and griefs to look upon, misery and ungodliness? judgment is before me, and the judge receives a reward.
4 Kanaafuu seerri laamshaʼeera; murtiin qajeelaan dabsameera. Akka murtiin qajeelaan jalʼifamuuf; namoonni hamoon qajeelota marsu.
Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly [man] prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed.
5 “Saboota hubadhaa ilaalaa; akka malees dinqisiifadhaa. Ani bara keessan keessa waan isin yoo isinitti himame illee hin amanne tokko nan hojjedha.
Behold, you despisers, and look, and wonder marvelously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days, which you will in no wise believe, though a man declare [it to you].
6 Ani warra Baabilon, uummata gara jabeessaa fi ariifataa, kan iddoo jireenya isaa hin taʼin qabachuuf guutummaa lafaa keessa yaaʼu sana nan kaasa.
Therefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own.
7 Isaan saba sodaatamuu fi naasisuu dha; isaan ofii isaaniitiifuu seera; ulfina isaaniis ni guddifatu.
He is terrible and famous; his judgment shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself.
8 Fardeen isaanii qeerransa caalaa saffisu; yeeyyii galgalaa caalaa sodaachisu. Namoonni isaanii kanneen farda yaabbatan ariitiidhaan gulufu; abbootiin farda isaaniis fagoodhaa dhufu. Isaan akkuma risaa waa nyaachuuf ariifatuu barrisu;
And his horses shall bound [more swiftly] than leopards, and [they are] fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat.
9 isaan hundinuu jeequmsaaf dhufu. Tuunni isaanii akkuma bubbee gammoojjii gara fuula duraatti qajeela; namoota hidhamanis akkuma cirrachaa walitti qaba.
Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 Isaan mootota tuffatanii bulchitootatti qoosu. Daʼannoo hundatti ni kolfu; biyyoos tuulanii isa qabatu.
And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it.
11 Ergasii namoonni yakka hojjetan kanneen humna isaanii waaqa isaanii godhatan, akka bubbee lafa haxaaʼanii karaa isaanii itti fufu.”
Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, [saying], This strength [belongs] to my god.
12 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati bara baraa jalqabdee jirta mitii? Yaa Waaqa ko, yaa Qulqullicha ko, ati gonkumaa hin duutu. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati akka isaan murtii kennaniif isaan muuddeerta; yaa Kattaa ko, ati akka isaan nama adabaniif isaan ramaddeerta.
[Are] not you from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, you have established it for judgment, and he has formed me to chasten [with] his correction.
13 Iji kee akka waan hamaa hin ilaalleef akka malee qulqulluu dha; ati daba argitee obsaan dhiisuu hin dandeessu. Yoos ati maaliif obsaan namoota hamoo ilaalta? Ati maaliif yeroo namoonni hamoon warra isaan caalaa qajeeloo taʼan liqimsanitti calʼistaa?
[His] eye is too pure to behold evil [doings], and to look upon grievous afflictions: therefore do you look upon despisers? will you be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just?
14 Ati namoota akka qurxummii galaana keessaa, akka uumamawwan galaanaa kanneen bulchaa hin qabnee gooteerta.
And will you make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide?
15 Diinni hokkoodhaan isaan hunda ol baasa; kiyyoo isaatiinis isaan harkisa; kiyyoo isaa keessatti walitti isaan qabata; kanaafuu inni ni gammada; ni ililchas.
He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad.
16 Inni sababii kiyyoo isaatiin bashannanee nyaata isaa filatamaatti gammaduuf kiyyoo isaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessa; kiyyoo isaatiif illee ixaana aarsa.
Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting-net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice.
17 Inni kiyyoo isaa keessaa garagalchuudhaan, gara laafina malee ittuma fufee saboota balleessuu qabaa?
Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to kill the nations continually.
