Isaayyaas 10
1 Warra seera jalʼaa baasan, kanneen labsii cunqursaa labsaniif wayyoo;
Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees
2 isaan murtii rakkattootaa jalʼisu; mirga hiyyeeyyii saba koos ni dhiibu; haadhota hiyyeessaa boojuu godhatu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni saamu.
to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
3 Isin yeroo badiisni fagoodhaa dhufu guyyaa adabbiitti maal gootu? Gargaarsa argachuuf eenyutti baqattu? Qabeenya keessan eessatti dhiiftu?
What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
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 will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger 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!
Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my 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 profane nation, and against the people who anger me I will give him a command to take the plunder and to take 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.
However, he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
8 Innis akkana jedha; ‘Ajajjoonni koo hundinuu mootota mitii?
For he says, “Aren’t all of my princes kings?
9 Kaalnoon akkuma Karkemiish mitii? Hamaati akkuma Arfaad mitii? Samaariyaanis akkuma Damaasqoo mitii?
Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?”
10 Akkuma harki koo mootummoota waaqota tolfamoo kanneen fakkiiwwan soofamoo kan Yerusaalemii fi Samaariyaa caalan qabe sana,
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of 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 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.
Therefore it will happen that when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his arrogant 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 has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
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.’”
My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, I have gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their 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!
Should an ax brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone 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 the Lord, GOD of Hosts, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
17 Ifni Israaʼel ibidda, Qulqullichi isaanii sunis arraba ibiddaa taʼa; ibiddi sun guyyuma tokkoon qoraattii isaatii fi sokorruu isaa gubee balleessa.
The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers 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.
He will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
19 Mukkeen bosona isaa keessatti hafan waan akka malee muraasa taʼaniif mucaan tokko galmeessuu ni dandaʼa.
The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
20 Bara sana keessa hambaan Israaʼel, mana Yaaqoob keessaa warri hafan, dhugumaan Waaqayyo Qulqullicha Israaʼel abdatu malee lammata isa isaan dhaʼe sana hin abdatan.
It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Hambaan tokko, hambaan Yaaqoob gara Waaqa Jabaa sanaatti ni deebiʼa.
A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, 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, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
23 Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu badiisa lafa hundatti labsame ni raawwata.
For the Lord, GOD of Hosts, will make a full end, and that determined, throughout 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 the Lord, GOD of Hosts, says, “My people who dwell in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.
25 Aariin ani isinitti aare dafee qabbanaaʼa; dheekkamsi koos isaan balleessuuf itti garagala.”
For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his 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.
The LORD of Hosts will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.
27 Gaafas baʼaan isaanii gatiittii keessan irraa, waanjoon isaaniis morma keessan irraa fuudhama; waan isin akka malee gabbattaniif waanjoon ni caccaba.
It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
28 Isaan gara Ayyati seenan; Migroon keessa baʼan; nyaataa fi hidhata isaaniis Mikmaas keessatti kuuftan.
He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
29 Isaan karaa qalʼaa irra baʼanii, “Nu Gebaa qubannee bulla” jedhan. Raamaan ni sodaatti; Gibeʼaan Saaʼolis ni baqatti.
They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Yaa intala Galiim, iyyi! Yaa Laayishaa dhaggeeffadhu! Yaa Anaatoot deebii isheef kenni!
Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
31 Maadmenaan baqataa jirti; uummanni Geebiimis baqachuuf walitti qabama.
Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 Isaan harʼa Noob gaʼu; isaan tulluu Intala Xiyoonitti, gaara Yerusaalemitti harka isaanii raasu.
This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at 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 Lord, GOD of Hosts, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 Inni bosona gobbuu qottoodhaan cira; Libaanoonis fuula Waaqa Jabaa duratti kufa.
He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
