Isaayyaas 10
1 Warra seera jalʼaa baasan, kanneen labsii cunqursaa labsaniif wayyoo;
Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
2 isaan murtii rakkattootaa jalʼisu; mirga hiyyeeyyii saba koos ni dhiibu; haadhota hiyyeessaa boojuu godhatu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni saamu.
in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
3 Isin yeroo badiisni fagoodhaa dhufu guyyaa adabbiitti maal gootu? Gargaarsa argachuuf eenyutti baqattu? Qabeenya keessan eessatti dhiiftu?
What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own 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.
so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
5 “Asooricha isa ulee aarii kootii taʼeef, isa bokkuun dheekkamsa kootii harka isaa jiruuf wayyoo!
Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
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 to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of 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 he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
8 Innis akkana jedha; ‘Ajajjoonni koo hundinuu mootota mitii?
For he will say:
9 Kaalnoon akkuma Karkemiish mitii? Hamaati akkuma Arfaad mitii? Samaariyaanis akkuma Damaasqoo mitii?
“Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Akkuma harki koo mootummoota waaqota tolfamoo kanneen fakkiiwwan soofamoo kan Yerusaalemii fi Samaariyaa caalan qabe sana,
In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
11 ani waanan Samaariyaa fi fakkiiwwan ishee godhe sana Yerusaalemii fi waaqota ishee tolfamoo hin godhuu?’”
Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
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.
And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his 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: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
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 my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
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!
Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only 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.
Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
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 like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, 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 the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
19 Mukkeen bosona isaa keessatti hafan waan akka malee muraasa taʼaniif mucaan tokko galmeessuu ni dandaʼa.
And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
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 this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Hambaan tokko, hambaan Yaaqoob gara Waaqa Jabaa sanaatti ni deebiʼa.
The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty 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, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
23 Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu badiisa lafa hundatti labsame ni raawwata.
For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
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 reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
25 Aariin ani isinitti aare dafee qabbanaaʼa; dheekkamsi koos isaan balleessuuf itti garagala.”
But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
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 hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
27 Gaafas baʼaan isaanii gatiittii keessan irraa, waanjoon isaaniis morma keessan irraa fuudhama; waan isin akka malee gabbattaniif waanjoon ni caccaba.
And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
28 Isaan gara Ayyati seenan; Migroon keessa baʼan; nyaataa fi hidhata isaaniis Mikmaas keessatti kuuftan.
He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
29 Isaan karaa qalʼaa irra baʼanii, “Nu Gebaa qubannee bulla” jedhan. Raamaan ni sodaatti; Gibeʼaan Saaʼolis ni baqatti.
They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Yaa intala Galiim, iyyi! Yaa Laayishaa dhaggeeffadhu! Yaa Anaatoot deebii isheef kenni!
Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
31 Maadmenaan baqataa jirti; uummanni Geebiimis baqachuuf walitti qabama.
Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
32 Isaan harʼa Noob gaʼu; isaan tulluu Intala Xiyoonitti, gaara Yerusaalemitti harka isaanii raasu.
It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake 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.
Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 Inni bosona gobbuu qottoodhaan cira; Libaanoonis fuula Waaqa Jabaa duratti kufa.
And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
