Isaayyaas 18
1 Biyya lageen Itoophiyaatiin gamaa kan qoochoo isheetiin shaakkiftuuf wayyoo;
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush:
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 sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and stripped, to a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
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, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
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 so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew 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.
For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
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 fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
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.
In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and stripped, and from a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
