< Isaayyaas 2 >

1 Wanni Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos waaʼee Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem arge kanaa dha:
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 Bara dhumaa keessa, tulluun mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo tulluuwwan hunda keessaa ol dheeratee dhaabata; inni tulluuwwan caalaa ol ol jedha; saboonni hundinuu gara isaatti yaaʼu.
And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed to it.
3 Namoonni baayʼeen dhufanii akkana jedhu; “Kottaa gara tulluu Waaqayyoo, gara mana Waaqa Yaaqoob ol baanaa. Inni akka nu daandii isaa irra deemnuuf karaa isaa nu barsiisa.” Seerri Xiyoon keessaa, dubbiin Waaqayyoo immoo Yerusaalem keessaa ni baʼa.
And many peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
4 Inni saboota gidduutti murtii kenna; namoota hedduudhaafis ni murteessa. Isaan goraadee isaanii tumanii maarashaa tolfatu; eeboo isaaniis tumanii haamtuu tolfatu. Sabni tokko saba biraatti goraadee hin luqqifatu; yookaan lolaaf nama hin leenjifatan.
And He has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—war.
5 Yaa mana Yaaqoob, kottaa ifa Waaqayyoo keessa deddeebinaa.
O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
6 Kanaafuu saba kee, mana Yaaqoob dhiifteerta. Isaan bartee Baʼa Biiftuutiin guutamaniiru; akkuma Filisxeemotaa falfala hojjetu; duudhaa namoota ormaattis ni cichu.
For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.
7 Biyyi isaanii meetii fi warqeen guutamteerti; qabeenyi isaanii dhuma hin qabu. Biyyi isaanii fardeeniin guutamteerti; gaariiwwan isaaniis dhuma hin qaban.
And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
8 Biyyi isaanii waaqota tolfamoodhaan guutamteerti; isaan hojiidhuma harka isaanii, waanuma qubni isaanii tolcheef sagadu.
And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,
9 Kanaafuu namni gad qabama; ilmaan namaa gad deebifamu; ati isaaniif hin dhiisin.
And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
10 Argamuu Waaqayyoo isa sodaachisaa fi surraa ulfina isaa duraa, kattaa keessa lixu; lafa keessas dhokadhu!
Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
11 Iji nama of tuuluu gad qabama; of jajuun namootaas gad deebifama; gaafas Waaqayyo qofatu ol ol jedha.
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
12 Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu warra of jajuu fi warra of tuulu hundaaf, warra ol ol jedhan hundaaf guyyaa tokko qaba; isaanis gad deebifamu.
For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13 Inni birbirsa Libaanoon dheeraa fi guddaa hundaaf, qilxuu Baashaan hundaaf,
And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14 tulluuwwan ol dhedheeroo hundaaf, gaarran ol dhedheeroo hundaaf,
And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15 gamoo gurguddaa hundaaf, dallaa dhagaadhaan jabeeffamee ijaarame hundaaf,
And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
16 doonii daldalaa hundaa fi waan gatii guddaa qabu hundaaf guyyaa murteeffate tokko qaba.
And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17 Of tuulummaan namaa gad qabama; of jajuun namootaas gad deebifama; gaafas Waaqayyo qofatu ol ol jedha;
And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
18 waaqonni tolfamoon guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffamu.
And the idols—they completely pass away.
19 Namoonni yommuu inni lafa raasuuf kaʼutti, sodaachisa Waaqayyootii fi surraa isaa ulfina qabeessa sana duraa gara holqa kattaa keessaattii fi boolla lafa keessaatti ni baqatu.
And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
20 Gaafas namoonni waaqota isaanii tolfamoo kanneen waaqeffachuuf jedhanii meetii fi warqee irraa tolfatan sana tuqaa fi simbira halkaniitiif darbatu.
In that day man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
21 Isaan yommuu inni lafa raasuuf kaʼutti sodaachisa Waaqayyootii fi surraa ulfina isaa duraa gara holqa guddaa kattaawwan keessaatii fi baqaqaa kattaatti ni baqatu.
To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
22 Nama duʼa hin oolle, kan hafuurri isaa funyaan irra jiru abdachuu dhiisaa. Inni maalitti lakkaaʼama?
Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
