< Isaayyaas 2 >

1 Wanni Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos waaʼee Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem arge kanaa dha:
That which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw in vision, —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.
But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, That the mountain of the house of Yahweh Shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, And be exalted above the hills, —And all the nations, shall stream thereunto;
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 shall go and say—Come ye, and let us ascend Unto the mountain of Yahweh Unto the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us of his ways, And we may walk in his paths, —For, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, And the word of Yahweh out of 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 will judge between the nations, And be umpire to many peoples, —And they will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation, shall not lift up sword, Neither shall they learn any more to make war,
5 Yaa mana Yaaqoob, kottaa ifa Waaqayyoo keessa deddeebinaa.
O house of Jacob! come ye and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
6 Kanaafuu saba kee, mana Yaaqoob dhiifteerta. Isaan bartee Baʼa Biiftuutiin guutamaniiru; akkuma Filisxeemotaa falfala hojjetu; duudhaa namoota ormaattis ni cichu.
Therefore hast thou abandoned thy people the house of Jacob, Because they have become full of the East, And use hidden arts like the Philistines, —And with the children of foreigners, strike hands; —
7 Biyyi isaanii meetii fi warqeen guutamteerti; qabeenyi isaanii dhuma hin qabu. Biyyi isaanii fardeeniin guutamteerti; gaariiwwan isaaniis dhuma hin qaban.
So that filled is their land with silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures, —And filled is their land with horses, And there is no end to their chariots;
8 Biyyi isaanii waaqota tolfamoodhaan guutamteerti; isaan hojiidhuma harka isaanii, waanuma qubni isaanii tolcheef sagadu.
And filled is their land with idols, —To the work of their own hands, do they bow themselves down, To that which they made with their own fingers.
9 Kanaafuu namni gad qabama; ilmaan namaa gad deebifamu; ati isaaniif hin dhiisin.
So the mean man boweth down And the great man stoopeth low, —Therefore do not thou forgive them!
10 Argamuu Waaqayyoo isa sodaachisaa fi surraa ulfina isaa duraa, kattaa keessa lixu; lafa keessas dhokadhu!
Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour.
11 Iji nama of tuuluu gad qabama; of jajuun namootaas gad deebifama; gaafas Waaqayyo qofatu ol ol jedha.
The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted 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 of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be] —Upon every one who is high and lofty, —And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low;
13 Inni birbirsa Libaanoon dheeraa fi guddaa hundaaf, qilxuu Baashaan hundaaf,
And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, —And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 tulluuwwan ol dhedheeroo hundaaf, gaarran ol dhedheeroo hundaaf,
And upon all the lofty mountains, —And upon all the uplifted hills;
15 gamoo gurguddaa hundaaf, dallaa dhagaadhaan jabeeffamee ijaarame hundaaf,
And upon every high tower, —And upon every fortress wall;
16 doonii daldalaa hundaa fi waan gatii guddaa qabu hundaaf guyyaa murteeffate tokko qaba.
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, —And upon all desirable banners.
17 Of tuulummaan namaa gad qabama; of jajuun namootaas gad deebifama; gaafas Waaqayyo qofatu ol ol jedha;
And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled, —And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 waaqonni tolfamoon guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffamu.
And, the idols, shall wholly 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 they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly 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 shall the son of earth cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —which had been made for him to worship, into the hole of the mice, and to the 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.
That he may enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the crags, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Nama duʼa hin oolle, kan hafuurri isaa funyaan irra jiru abdachuu dhiisaa. Inni maalitti lakkaaʼama?
Cease ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, —For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?
