Isaayyaas 17
1 Raajii Damaasqoodhaan mormu: “Kunoo, Damaasqoon tuullaa diigamte taati malee siʼachi magaalaa hin taatu.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 Magaalaawwan Aroʼeer ni onu; bushaayeen achi ciciisu; wanni isaan sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 Magaalaan jabeeffamtee ijaaramte Efreem keessaa, humni mootummaas Damaasqoo keessaa ni bada; hambaan Sooriyaa akka ulfina Israaʼelootaa taʼa” jedha Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
And the fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus. And the remnant of Syria, they shall be as the glory of the sons of Israel, says Jehovah of hosts.
4 “Bara sana keessa ulfinni Yaaqoob gad deebiʼa; furdinni dhagna isaas ni huqqata.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.
5 Akkuma namni midhaan haamu tokko, midhaan dhaabbatu walitti qabee irree isaatiin haamu sana kunis akkuma yeroo namni tokko Sulula Refaayim keessaa qarmii funaanuu ni taʼa.
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathers the standing grain, and his arm reaps the ears. Yea, it shall be as when he gleans ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Taʼus akkuma yeroo mukni ejersaa dhaʼamuutti, qarmii guuruun amma iyyuu jira; fiixee ol aanu irratti gumaa lama yookaan sadiitu hafa; damee gad aanu irratti gumaa afur yookaan shantu hafa” jedha Waaqayyo, Waaqni Israaʼel.
Yet there shall be gleanings left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree-two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, says Jehovah, the God of Israel.
7 Gaafas namoonni gara Uumaa isaanii ilaalu; ija isaaniis gara Qulqullicha Israaʼel deebifatu.
In that day men shall look to their maker, and their eyes shall have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8 Isaan gara iddoo aarsaa, gara hojii harka isaanii hin ilaalan; isaan galma waaqeffannaa Aasheeraa, iddoo aarsaa ixaanaa kan quba isaaniitiin tolchanis wayittuu hin lakkaaʼan.
And they shall not look to the altars, the work of their hands, nor shall they have respect for that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.
9 Gaafas magaalaawwan jajjaboon isaan sababii Israaʼelootaatiif keessaa baʼan sun akkuma lafa bosona keessaa kan namni dhiisee deemee taʼu. Hundi ni onu.
In that day their strong cities shall be as the forsaken places in the woodland and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the sons of Israel, and it shall be a desolation.
10 Ati Fayyisaa kee, Waaqa irraanfatteerta; ati kattaa, daʼoo kee hin yaadanne. Kanaafuu yoo biqiltuu akka malee gaarii dhaabbattee muka wayinii kan alaa dhufe biqilfatte iyyuu,
For thou have forgotten the God of thy salvation, and have not been mindful of the rock of thy strength. Therefore thou plant pleasant plants, and set it with foreign slips.
11 yoo guyyuma dhaabde sana akka inni biqilu goote iyyuu ganama yeroo dhaabdetti akka inni daraaru goota; garuu guyyaa dhukkubaa fi dhibee hin fayyineetti wayinichi homaa hin fayyadu.
In the day of thy planting thou hedge it in, and in the morning thou make thy seed to blossom. But the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Saboota baayʼee kanneen aaraniif wayyoo! Isaan akkuma galaana aaruutti aaru! Saboota wacaniif wayyoo! Isaan akkuma bishaan guddaan huursutti huursu.
Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas, and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 Saboonni akkuma huursaa bishaan cabsee deemuu yoo huurse iyyuu yommuu inni isaanitti dheekkamu isaan baqatanii badu; akkuma habaqiin tulluu irraa fuula bubbee dura ariʼamu, akkuma awwaarri fuula bubbee hamaa duraa bittinnaaʼu isaan ni bittinnaaʼu.
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters, but he shall rebuke them. And they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
14 Galgala sodaan akkuma tasaa isaan qabatti! Isaan utuu lafti hin bariʼin ni dhabamu! Kun qooda warra nu boojiʼee, hiree warra nu saamee ti.
At eventide, behold, terror, and before the morning they are not. This is the portion of those who despoil us, and the lot of those who rob us.
