Isaayyaas 10
1 Warra seera jalʼaa baasan, kanneen labsii cunqursaa labsaniif wayyoo;
Alas! for them who ordain iniquitous decrees, —And, busy writers, who make a business of writing mischief:
2 isaan murtii rakkattootaa jalʼisu; mirga hiyyeeyyii saba koos ni dhiibu; haadhota hiyyeessaa boojuu godhatu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni saamu.
Turning aside from judgment, the poor, And robbing, of justice, the oppressed of my people, —So that, widows, become, their spoil, And of the fatherless, they make prey.
3 Isin yeroo badiisni fagoodhaa dhufu guyyaa adabbiitti maal gootu? Gargaarsa argachuuf eenyutti baqattu? Qabeenya keessan eessatti dhiiftu?
What, then, will ye do for the day of visitation, And for the devastation, which from afar, shall come? Unto whom, will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your gory?
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.
Without me, one hath bowed under a prisoner Yea under the slain, do they fall! For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
5 “Asooricha isa ulee aarii kootii taʼeef, isa bokkuun dheekkamsa kootii harka isaa jiruuf wayyoo!
Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger, —Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure:
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.
Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him, —To capture spoil And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.
7 Garuu kun waan inni yaadu miti; yaadni akkasiis garaa isaa keessa hin jiru; kaayyoon isaa barbadeessuu dha; saba baayʼees fixuu dha.
But as for him, not so, doth he deem, And in his heart, not so, doth he think, —For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few;
8 Innis akkana jedha; ‘Ajajjoonni koo hundinuu mootota mitii?
For he saith: —Are not, my generals, all alike, kings?
9 Kaalnoon akkuma Karkemiish mitii? Hamaati akkuma Arfaad mitii? Samaariyaanis akkuma Damaasqoo mitii?
Is not, Calno, like Carchemish? Is not, 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,
As my hand hath reached unto the kingdoms of idols, —whose images did excel them 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 to 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.
Wherefore it shall come to pass—When My Lord shall finish his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will bring punishment—Upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the king of Assyria. And upon the vainglory 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 hath said—By the strength of mine own hand, have I effectually wrought, And by my wisdom—for I have discernment, —That I might remove the bounds of peoples, Yea their treasures, have I plundered That I might lay prostrate as a mighty one the inhabitants;
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 wealth of the peoples, And as the gathering of eggs that are forsaken, all the earth, have, I, gathered, —And there was none to flap a wing, or open a mouth or chirp.
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? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what 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, Yahweh of hosts, Send, among his fat ones, leanness, And under his glory, shall he kindle a kindling, like the kindling of fire;
17 Ifni Israaʼel ibidda, Qulqullichi isaanii sunis arraba ibiddaa taʼa; ibiddi sun guyyuma tokkoon qoraattii isaatii fi sokorruu isaa gubee balleessa.
So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume 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 the glory of his forest and of his garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end, —And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive.
19 Mukkeen bosona isaa keessatti hafan waan akka malee muraasa taʼaniif mucaan tokko galmeessuu ni dandaʼa.
And, the remnant of his forest-trees, few in number, shall become, —yea, a child, might describe 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 the escaped of the house of Jacob Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them, —But shall lean upon Yahweh the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Hambaan tokko, hambaan Yaaqoob gara Waaqa Jabaa sanaatti ni deebiʼa.
A 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, O Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, A [mere] remnant, shall return of them, —A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood;
23 Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu badiisa lafa hundatti labsame ni raawwata.
For, a full end and that a decreed one, is My Lord Yahweh of hosts executing 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.
Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria, —When with his rod, he would smite thee, And when his staff, he would lift up against thee in the manner of Egypt;
25 Aariin ani isinitti aare dafee qabbanaaʼa; dheekkamsi koos isaan balleessuuf itti garagala.”
For, yet a very little while, and displeasure shall end, Yea, mine anger, over 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 Yahweh of hosts, will brandish over him, a scourge—Like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, —And his staff being over the sea, He will lift it up in 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 remove from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, —Yea, the yoke shall be broken because of fatness.
28 Isaan gara Ayyati seenan; Migroon keessa baʼan; nyaataa fi hidhata isaaniis Mikmaas keessatti kuuftan.
He hath come in unto Ayyath, Hath passed through Migron, —At Michmash, storeth his baggage:
29 Isaan karaa qalʼaa irra baʼanii, “Nu Gebaa qubannee bulla” jedhan. Raamaan ni sodaatti; Gibeʼaan Saaʼolis ni baqatti.
They have passed over the pass, Geba is his halting-place, —Terror-stricken is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled!
30 Yaa intala Galiim, iyyi! Yaa Laayishaa dhaggeeffadhu! Yaa Anaatoot deebii isheef kenni!
Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah, Answer, O Anathoth!
31 Maadmenaan baqataa jirti; uummanni Geebiimis baqachuuf walitti qabama.
Madmenah, hath fled, —The inhabitants of Gebim, have gone into safety:
32 Isaan harʼa Noob gaʼu; isaan tulluu Intala Xiyoonitti, gaara Yerusaalemitti harka isaanii raasu.
While yet to-day, in Nob, he tarrieth, He brandisheth his hand toward 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, Yahweh of hosts, is about to lop off a tree-crown, with a crash, —Then shall, they who are lifted on high, be hewn down, And, the lofty, be laid low;
34 Inni bosona gobbuu qottoodhaan cira; Libaanoonis fuula Waaqa Jabaa duratti kufa.
Then will he fell the thickets of the forest with iron, —And, Lebanon by a majestic one shall fall.
