Isaayyaas 23
1 Raajii waaʼee Xiiroos: Yaa dooniiwwan Tarshiishi wawwaadhaa! Xiiroos barbadooftee mana yookaan buufata doonii malee hafteertii. Biyya Qophroos oduun isaan qaqqabeera.
The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them.
2 Isin jiraattoonni qarqara galaanaatii fi daldaltoonni Siidoonaa, warri galaana irra marmaaran isin sooromsan calʼisaa.
Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee.
3 Midhaan Shihoor bishaanota gurguddaa irraan dhufe; oomishni Abbayyaa Xiiroosiif galii ture; isheenis lafa gabaa kan sabootaa taate.
The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations.
4 Yaa Siidoonaa, yaa daʼannoo galaanaa qaanaʼi; galaanni akkana jedhee dubbateeraatii: “Ani hin ciniinsifanne yookaan hin deenye; ilmaan hin horanne yookaan intallan hin guddifanne.”
Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins.
5 Yeroo oduun gara Gibxi dhufutti isaan gabaasa Xiiroos irraa dhufuun ni dhiphatu.
When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre:
6 Isin gara Tarshiishitti ceʼaa; yaa warra qarqara galaanaa jiraattan wawwaadhaa.
Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island.
7 Magaalaa dulloomtuun durii, kan miilli ishee ishee fuudhee, akka isheen biyya fagoo keessa qubattuuf ishee geesse kun, magaalaa kee ishee fandalaltuudhaa?
Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
8 Xiiroos ishee gonfoo nama gonfachiiftu kan daldaltoonni ishee ilmaan moototaa taʼan kan daldaltoonni ishee lafa irratti kabajamoo taʼanitti eenyutu waan kana karoorfate?
Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth?
9 Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu of jaja ishee kan ulfina ishee hunda keessa jiru gad deebisuu fi warra lafa irratti kabajaman hunda salphisuuf waan kana karoorfateera.
The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth.
10 Yaa Intala Tarshiish, ati siʼachi buufata doonii hin qabaattuutii, lafa kee hamma Abbayyaa bira gaʼutti qotadhu.
Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.
11 Waaqayyo harka isaa galaana irra qabee mootummoota hollachiiseera. Inni akka daʼannoowwan ishee diigamaniif waaʼee Kanaʼaan ajaja kenneera.
He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof.
12 Innis akkana jedha; “Yaa Durba Siidoonaa, ati kana caalaa hin fandalaltu! “Kaʼiitii gara Qophiroositti ceʼi; ati achitti iyyuu boqonnaa hin argattu.”
And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest.
13 Mee biyya Baabilonotaa ilaali; uummanni kun amma seenaa hin qabu! Warri Asoor akka isheen iddoo jireenya uumamawwan gammoojjii taatu godhan; isaan siree eegumsaa ijaarratan; daʼannoowwan ishee qullaa hambisan; ishees ni barbadeessan.
Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin.
14 Yaa dooniiwwan Tarshiish wawwaadhaa; daʼannoon keessan barbadeeffameeraatii!
Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
15 Yeroo sanaa jalqabee Xiiroos hamma waggaa torbaatamaatti ni dagatamti; kunis bara jireenya mootii tokkoo ti. Dhuma waggaa torbaatamman sanaatti garuu akkuma sirba sagaagaltuu tokkoof sirbame sanaatti Xiiroos irra gaʼa:
And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot.
16 “Yaa sagaagaltuu irraanfatamtuu, baganaa qabadhuutii magaalaa keessa naannaʼi; ati akka yaadatamtuuf baganaa sirriitti rukuti; sirba baayʼee sirbi.”
Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered.
17 Dhuma waggaa torbaatamaatti Waaqayyo Xiiroosin ni yaadata; isheenis gara daldala isheetti deebitee mootummoota fuula lafaa irra jiran hunda wajjin sagaagalti.
And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 Taʼus buʼaan isheetii fi wanni isheen argattu Waaqayyoof addaan baafama; hin kuufamu; walittis hin qabamu. Buʼaan ishees warra fuula Waaqaa dura jiraataniif nyaata gaʼaa fi uffata babbareedaa taʼa.
And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance.
