Isaayyaas 21
1 Raajii Gammoojjii Galaana bira jirtuun mormu: Akkuma bubbeen hamaan biyya kibbaa haxaaʼu sana, weeraraan tokko gammoojjiidhaa, biyya sodaachisaa keessaa ni dhufa.
THE VISION OF THE DESERT. As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert, coming from a desert, [even] from such a land,
2 Mulʼanni hamaan tokko natti mulʼateera: gantuun ni ganti; saamtuunis ni saamti. Yaa Eelaam, ol baʼi! Yaa Meedee marsii qabi! Ani aaduu isheen fidde hunda nan xumura.
[so] a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself.
3 Kana irratti dugdi na cite; akkuma dubartii ciniinsifattuu muddamni na qabe; ani waanan dhagaʼeen nan holladhe; waanan argeenis nan raafame.
Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman: I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hasted that I might not see.
4 Qalbiin koo ni raafame; sodaan na hollachiise; dimimmisni ani hawwe sun sodaatti na jalaa geeddarame.
My heart wanders, and transgression overwhelms me; my soul is occupied with fear.
5 Isaan maaddii qopheessu; afaa diriirsu; ni nyaatu, ni dhugu! Isin qondaaltonni kaʼaa; gaachanas zayitii dibaa.
Prepare the table, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and prepare [your] shields.
6 Gooftaan akkana naan jedha: “Dhaqiitii eegduu tokko ramadi; innis waan argu haa himu.
For thus said the Lord to me, Go and station a watchman for yourself, and declare whatever you shall see.
7 Inni yommuu warra farda yaabbatan kanneen lama lamaan yaaʼan, warra harree yaabbatan yookaan warra gaala yaabbatan argutti, haa dammaqu; guutumaan guutuutti haa dammaqu.”
And I saw two mounted horsemen, and a rider on an ass, and a rider on a camel.
8 Eegduun sunis akkana jedhee iyye; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani guyyuma guyyaan qooxii eegumsaa irra nan dhaabadha; halkan hundas ani hojii koo irra nan tura.
Listen with great attention, and call you Urias to the watch-tower: the Lord has spoken. I stood continually during the day, and I stood in the camp all night:
9 Kunoo, warri farda yaabbatan, lama lamaan dhufaa jiru; inni akkana jedhee deebise: ‘Baabilon jigdeerti; jigdeerti! Fakkiiwwan waaqota ishee hundinuu burkutaaʼanii lafa dhaʼaniiru!’”
and, behold, he comes riding in a chariot and pair: and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to the ground.
10 Yaa saba koo warra oobdii midhaanii irratti dhaʼamtan, ani waan Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqa Israaʼel irraa dhagaʼe isinittin hima.
Hear, you that are left, and you that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts [which] the God of Israel has declared to us. THE VISION OF IDUMEA.
11 Raajii Duumaan mormu: Namni tokko Seeʼiirii na waamee, “Yaa eegduu, halkan kun bariʼuuf hammamtu hafe? Yaa eegduu, halkan kun bariʼuuf hammamtu hafe?” jedhe.
Call to me out of Seir; guard you the bulwarks.
12 Eegduun sunis, “Bariʼuu gaʼeera; garuu deebiʼee dhiʼa. Yoo gaafachuu barbaaddan gaafadhaa; garuu deebiʼaa kottaa” jedhee deebisa.
I watch in the morning and the night: if you would enquire, enquire, and dwell by me.
13 Raajii biyya Arabaatiin mormu: Isin imaltoonni Dedaan kanneen bosona Arabaa keessa qubattan,
You may lodge in the forest in the evening, or in the way of Daedan.
14 warra dheeboteef bishaan fidaa; isin warri Teemaa keessa jiraattan, baqattootaaf waan nyaatan fidaa.
You that dwell in the country of Thaeman, bring water to meet him that is thirsty;
15 Isaan goraadee jalaa, goraadee luqqifame jalaa, xiyya aggaamame jalaa, hoʼa waraanaa jalaa baqataniiruutii.
meet the fugitives with bread, because of the multitude of the slain, and because of the multitude of them that lose their way, and because of the multitude of swords, and because of the multitude of bent bows, and because of the multitude of them that have fallen in war.
16 Gooftaan akkana naan jedhe: “Akkuma waggoota hojjetaa qaxaramaa tokkootti ulfinni Qeedaar hundinuu waggaa tokko keessatti ni dhuma.
For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of an hireling, [and] the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail:
17 Warra xiyya darbatan keessaa kanneen hafan, gootonni Qeedaar muraasa taʼu.” Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel dubbateeraatii.
and the remnant of the strong bows of the sons of Kedar shall be small: for the Lord God of Israel has spoken [it].
