Isaayyaas 18
1 Biyya lageen Itoophiyaatiin gamaa kan qoochoo isheetiin shaakkiftuuf wayyoo;
Ho! thou land of rustling wings, Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia!
2 isheen galaana irra, bidiruu dhallaadduutiin ergamoota bishaan irra ergiti. Yaa ergamoota ariifattoota, gara saba dhedheeroo kanneen gogaan isaanii lallaafuu, gara saba fagoo fi dhiʼoottis sodaatamuu, saba jabaa fi afaan isaa hin beekamne kan biyyi isaanii lageeniin gargar qoodamte sanaa dhaqaa.
That sendest thy messengers upon the sea, In reed-boats upon the face of the waters: Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and fair, To a people terrible from the first and onward, To a mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers!
3 Isin uummanni addunyaa hundi, warri lafa irra jiraattan yeroo mallattoon gaara irratti ol qabamu ni argitu; yeroo malakanni afuufamus inuma dhageessu.
All ye inhabitants of the world, ye that dwell on the earth, When the standard is lifted up on the mountains, behold! When the trumpet is sounded, hear!
4 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Ani akkuma hoʼa ifa aduu keessatti calaqqisuu, akkuma duumessa fixeensaa kan hoʼa yeroo midhaan galchaniitti calʼisee iddoo jireenya kootii nan ilaala.”
For thus hath Jehovah said to me: “I will sit still, and look on from my dwelling-place, Like a serene heat when the sun shineth, Like a dewy cloud in the heat of harvest.”
5 Haamaa midhaaniitiin dura, yeroo hudhaan daraaree daraaraan sunis ija wayinii bilchaatee taʼutti inni billaa ittiin qoraniin lataa isaa ni ciccira; damee babalʼates irraa murmuree ni balleessa.
But before the vintage, when the bud is gone, And the blossom is ripening into a swelling grape, He shall cut off the shoots with pruning-hooks, And the branches he shall take away and cut down.
6 Isaan hundinuu allaattii tulluu kan waa adamsuu fi bineensota bosonaatiif dhiifamu; allaattiin bona guutuu, bineensonni bosonaas ganna guutuu isaan nyaatu.
They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, And to the wild beasts of the earth. The ravenous birds shall summer upon it, And every wild beast of the earth shall winter upon it.
7 Gaafas saba dhedheeroo kanneen gogaan isaanii lallaafu irraa, saba fagoo fi dhiʼoottis sodaatamu irraa, saba jabaa fi afaan isaa hin beekamne kan biyyi isaanii lageeniin gargar qoodamte irraa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf kennaan ni fidama; kennaan sunis gara Tulluu Xiyoon, iddoo Maqaan Waaqayyo Waan hunda dandaʼu jiraatutti ni fidama.
At that time shall gifts be brought to Jehovah of hosts From a nation tall and fair, From a people terrible from the first and onward, A mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers, To the dwelling-place of Jehovah of hosts, to mount Zion.
