Isaayyaas 10
1 Warra seera jalʼaa baasan, kanneen labsii cunqursaa labsaniif wayyoo;
Woe unto them that decree iniquitous decrees, and to the writers that prescribe oppression,
2 isaan murtii rakkattootaa jalʼisu; mirga hiyyeeyyii saba koos ni dhiibu; haadhota hiyyeessaa boojuu godhatu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni saamu.
to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 Isin yeroo badiisni fagoodhaa dhufu guyyaa adabbiitti maal gootu? Gargaarsa argachuuf eenyutti baqattu? Qabeenya keessan eessatti dhiiftu?
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the sudden destruction [which] shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave 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.
They can but crouch under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
5 “Asooricha isa ulee aarii kootii taʼeef, isa bokkuun dheekkamsa kootii harka isaa jiruuf wayyoo!
Ah! the Assyrian! the rod of mine anger! and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
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 hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge; to take the spoil, and to seize the prey, and to tread them down like the mire 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 meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; for it is in his heart to extirpate and cut off nations not a few.
8 Innis akkana jedha; ‘Ajajjoonni koo hundinuu mootota mitii?
For he saith, Are not my princes all kings?
9 Kaalnoon akkuma Karkemiish mitii? Hamaati akkuma Arfaad mitii? Samaariyaanis akkuma Damaasqoo mitii?
Is not Calno as Karkemish? 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 hath found the kingdoms of the idols, — and their graven images exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 ani waanan Samaariyaa fi fakkiiwwan ishee godhe sana Yerusaalemii fi waaqota ishee tolfamoo hin godhuu?’”
— shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so 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.
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stoutness of heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
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 saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom, for I am intelligent; and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and, like a valiant man, I have brought down them that sit [on thrones];
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 hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples, and as one gathereth forsaken eggs, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.
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!
— Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? As if the rod should wield them that lift it up; as if the staff should lift 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.
Therefore shall the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness, and under his glory he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of a 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 shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briars 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 it shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick man fainteth.
19 Mukkeen bosona isaa keessatti hafan waan akka malee muraasa taʼaniif mucaan tokko galmeessuu ni dandaʼa.
And the remainder of the trees of his forest shall be few: yea, a child might write them.
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 shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob shall no more again rely upon him that smote them; but they shall rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Hambaan tokko, hambaan Yaaqoob gara Waaqa Jabaa sanaatti ni deebiʼa.
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 Yaa Israaʼel, yoo sabni kee akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa taʼe iyyuu, hambaa qofatu deebiʼa. Badiisni qajeelummaadhaan guutame labsameera.
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption determined shall overflow in righteousness.
23 Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu badiisa lafa hundatti labsame ni raawwata.
For a consumption, and [one] determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, accomplish in the midst of 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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt:
25 Aariin ani isinitti aare dafee qabbanaaʼa; dheekkamsi koos isaan balleessuuf itti garagala.”
for yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in 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 Jehovah of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod [shall be] upon the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 Gaafas baʼaan isaanii gatiittii keessan irraa, waanjoon isaaniis morma keessan irraa fuudhama; waan isin akka malee gabbattaniif waanjoon ni caccaba.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck; and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ...
28 Isaan gara Ayyati seenan; Migroon keessa baʼan; nyaataa fi hidhata isaaniis Mikmaas keessatti kuuftan.
He is come to Aiath, he hath passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage.
29 Isaan karaa qalʼaa irra baʼanii, “Nu Gebaa qubannee bulla” jedhan. Raamaan ni sodaatti; Gibeʼaan Saaʼolis ni baqatti.
They are gone through the pass; they make their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth, Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Yaa intala Galiim, iyyi! Yaa Laayishaa dhaggeeffadhu! Yaa Anaatoot deebii isheef kenni!
Lift up thy voice, daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! — Poor Anathoth!
31 Maadmenaan baqataa jirti; uummanni Geebiimis baqachuuf walitti qabama.
Madmenah is fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
32 Isaan harʼa Noob gaʼu; isaan tulluu Intala Xiyoonitti, gaara Yerusaalemitti harka isaanii raasu.
Still a day of halting at Nob; he shaketh his hand [against] the mount 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 Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the boughs with violence; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be brought low;
34 Inni bosona gobbuu qottoodhaan cira; Libaanoonis fuula Waaqa Jabaa duratti kufa.
and he shall make clearings in the thickets of the forest with iron; and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
