Isaayyaas 10
1 Warra seera jalʼaa baasan, kanneen labsii cunqursaa labsaniif wayyoo;
Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:
2 isaan murtii rakkattootaa jalʼisu; mirga hiyyeeyyii saba koos ni dhiibu; haadhota hiyyeessaa boojuu godhatu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni saamu.
Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.
3 Isin yeroo badiisni fagoodhaa dhufu guyyaa adabbiitti maal gootu? Gargaarsa argachuuf eenyutti baqattu? Qabeenya keessan eessatti dhiiftu?
And what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the destruction which is coming from far? to whom will you go for help, and what will become of your glory?
4 Warra boojiʼaman jala gugguufuu yookaan warra ajjeefaman jalatti kufuu malee homtuu hin hafu. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
... For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 “Asooricha isa ulee aarii kootii taʼeef, isa bokkuun dheekkamsa kootii harka isaa jiruuf wayyoo!
Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!
6 Ani akka inni isaan saamuu fi boojiʼuuf akka inni akkuma dhoqqee karaa irraa lafatti isaan dhidhiituuf saba Waaqatti hin bulletti isa nan erga; uummata na aarsuttis isa nan ajaja.
I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.
7 Garuu kun waan inni yaadu miti; yaadni akkasiis garaa isaa keessa hin jiru; kaayyoon isaa barbadeessuu dha; saba baayʼees fixuu dha.
But this is not what is in his mind, and this is not his design; but his purpose is destruction, and the cutting off of more and more nations.
8 Innis akkana jedha; ‘Ajajjoonni koo hundinuu mootota mitii?
For he says, Are not all my captains kings?
9 Kaalnoon akkuma Karkemiish mitii? Hamaati akkuma Arfaad mitii? Samaariyaanis akkuma Damaasqoo mitii?
Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Akkuma harki koo mootummoota waaqota tolfamoo kanneen fakkiiwwan soofamoo kan Yerusaalemii fi Samaariyaa caalan qabe sana,
As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
11 ani waanan Samaariyaa fi fakkiiwwan ishee godhe sana Yerusaalemii fi waaqota ishee tolfamoo hin godhuu?’”
So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.
12 Gooftaan yeroo Tulluu Xiyoon irrattii fi Yerusaalem keessatti hojii isaa hunda fixatutti akkana jedha; “Ani sababii of jajuu garaa isaatii fi ilaalcha isaa kan of tuulummaan guutame sanaatiif jedhee mooticha Asoor nan adaba.
For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.
13 Inni akkana jedhaatii: “‘Ani jabina harka kootiin waan kana hojjedheera; ani sababiin hubannaa qabuuf, ogummaa kootiin hojjedheera. Ani daangaa sabootaa iddoodhaa buqqiseera; qabeenya isaanii illee saameera. Akkuma nama jabaa tokkoo ani mootota isaanii of jala galfadheera.
For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;
14 Akkuma namni tokko manʼee simbiraa keessa harka kaaʼu sana anis harka koo qabeenya sabootaa keessa nan kaaʼa; akkuma namoonni hanqaaquu dagatame walitti qaban sana, anis biyya hunda walitti nan qabe; kan qoochoo hurgufate, yookaan wacuuf afaan banate tokko iyyuu hin turre.’”
And I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.
15 Qottoon nama ittiin waa murutti ni kooraa? Yookaan wanni ittiin waa muran nama itti fayyadamutti of jajaa? Kunis akka waan uleen tokko nama isa qabatutti of mirmirsuu ti; yookaan akkuma bokkuun tokko akka waan muka hin taʼiniitti ol of guddisuu ti!
Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.
16 Kanaafuu Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, loltoota gagabbatan kanatti dhukkuba nama huqqisu ni erga; ulfina isaa jalaanis ibiddi tokko akkuma arraba ibiddaa ni qabsiifama.
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.
17 Ifni Israaʼel ibidda, Qulqullichi isaanii sunis arraba ibiddaa taʼa; ibiddi sun guyyuma tokkoon qoraattii isaatii fi sokorruu isaa gubee balleessa.
And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.
18 Akkuma namni tokko yeroo dhukkubsatu huqqatu sana, ibiddi sun ulfina bosonaa isaatii fi lafa qotiisaa gabbataa, lubbuu fi foonis ni barbadeessa.
And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.
19 Mukkeen bosona isaa keessatti hafan waan akka malee muraasa taʼaniif mucaan tokko galmeessuu ni dandaʼa.
And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.
20 Bara sana keessa hambaan Israaʼel, mana Yaaqoob keessaa warri hafan, dhugumaan Waaqayyo Qulqullicha Israaʼel abdatu malee lammata isa isaan dhaʼe sana hin abdatan.
And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Hambaan tokko, hambaan Yaaqoob gara Waaqa Jabaa sanaatti ni deebiʼa.
The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.
22 Yaa Israaʼel, yoo sabni kee akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa taʼe iyyuu, hambaa qofatu deebiʼa. Badiisni qajeelummaadhaan guutame labsameera.
For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.
23 Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu badiisa lafa hundatti labsame ni raawwata.
For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.
24 Kanaafuu Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Yaa saba koo warri Xiyoon keessa jiraattan, warra Asoor kanneen uleedhaan isin rukutan, kanneen akkuma warra Gibxi bokkuu ol isinitti fudhatan hin sodaatinaa.
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
25 Aariin ani isinitti aare dafee qabbanaaʼa; dheekkamsi koos isaan balleessuuf itti garagala.”
For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their destruction.
26 Waaqayyon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sun, akkuma kattaa Hereeb biratti Midiyaanin qacceen garafe sana, akkuma biyya Gibxi keessatti godhe sana, ulee isaa bishaan irratti ol fudhata.
And the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.
27 Gaafas baʼaan isaanii gatiittii keessan irraa, waanjoon isaaniis morma keessan irraa fuudhama; waan isin akka malee gabbattaniif waanjoon ni caccaba.
And in that day the weight which he put on your back will be taken away, and his yoke broken from off your neck.
28 Isaan gara Ayyati seenan; Migroon keessa baʼan; nyaataa fi hidhata isaaniis Mikmaas keessatti kuuftan.
He has gone up from Pene-Rimmon, he has come to Aiath; he has gone past Migron, at Michmash he puts his forces in order.
29 Isaan karaa qalʼaa irra baʼanii, “Nu Gebaa qubannee bulla” jedhan. Raamaan ni sodaatti; Gibeʼaan Saaʼolis ni baqatti.
They have gone across the mountain; Geba will be our resting-place tonight, they say: Ramah is shaking with fear; Gibeah of Saul has gone in flight.
30 Yaa intala Galiim, iyyi! Yaa Laayishaa dhaggeeffadhu! Yaa Anaatoot deebii isheef kenni!
Give a loud cry, daughter of Gallim; let Laishah give ear; let Anathoth give answer to her.
31 Maadmenaan baqataa jirti; uummanni Geebiimis baqachuuf walitti qabama.
Madmenah has gone; the men of Gebim are putting their goods in a safe place.
32 Isaan harʼa Noob gaʼu; isaan tulluu Intala Xiyoonitti, gaara Yerusaalemitti harka isaanii raasu.
This very day he is stopping at Nob; he is shaking his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Kunoo Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, humna guddaadhaan dameewwan murmura; mukkeen gurguddaan ni cicciramu; mukkeen dhedheeroonis gad qabamu.
See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.
34 Inni bosona gobbuu qottoodhaan cira; Libaanoonis fuula Waaqa Jabaa duratti kufa.
And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.
