Isaayyaas 28
1 Gonfoo of tuulummaa kan machooftota Efreem sanaaf, daraaraa coollagu kan ulfina miidhagina isaaniitiif, kan mataa sulula gabbataa irra jiruuf, magaalaa warra daadhii wayiniitiin fudhataman sanaatiif wayyoo!
Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious adornment, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine.
2 Kunoo, Gooftaan isa humna qabeessaa fi jabaa tokko qaba. Inni akkuma cabbiitii fi bubbee waa balleessuu, akkuma bokkaa jabaatii fi bishaan guutee irra dhangalaʼuu, humnaan lafatti gad ishee darbata.
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail [and] a destroying tempest; as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with might.
3 Gonfoon of tuulummaa, machooftonni Efreem miilla jalatti dhidhiitamu.
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet;
4 Daraaraan harcaʼu, miidhaginni isaa kabajamaan, kan mataa sulula gabbataa irra jiru sun, akkuma muka harbuu utuu bonni hin gaʼin bilchaatu sanaa taʼa; namni isa argu hundi akkuma isa harka keessa galfateen isa nyaatee fixa.
and the fading flower of his glorious adornment which is on the head of the fat valley shall be like an early fig before the summer: as soon as he that seeth it perceiveth it, scarcely is it in his hand, he swalloweth it down.
5 Bara sana Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hambaa saba isaatiif, gonfoo ulfinaa, miʼa miidhaginaa ni taʼa.
In that day will Jehovah of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of his people;
6 Inni nama murtii kennuuf taaʼuuf hafuura murtii qajeelaa taʼa; warra karra irraa waraana deebisaniif immoo madda jabinaa taʼa.
and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 Jarri kuni daadhii wayiniitiin gatantaru; dhugaatii jabaadhaan dogoggoru; luboonnii fi raajonni dhugaatii jabaadhaan gatantaru; daadhii wayiniitiin fudhatamu; isaan dhugaatii jabaadhaan karaa irraa badu; yeroo mulʼata arganittis ni dogoggoru; yeroo murtii kennanittis ni dogoggoru.
But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are they gone astray. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink; they are overpowered by wine, they are gone astray through strong drink; they have erred in vision, they have stumbled [in] judgment.
8 Maaddiin hundinuu diddigaan guutameera; iddoon hin xureeffamin tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
For all tables are full of filthy vomit, so that there is no [more] place.
9 “Namni inni waa barsiisuu yaalu kun eenyu? Inni eenyuuf ergaa isaa ibsaa jira? Ijoollee aannan dhiifteef moo ijoollee harma guuteef?
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the report? Them that are weaned from the milk, withdrawn from the breasts?
10 Ajaja irratti ajaja; ajaja irratti ajaja; sirna irratti sirna; sirna irratti sirna; asitti muraasa; achitti muraasa” taʼaatii.
For [it is] precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. ...
11 Yoos Waaqni afaan alagootaatiin, afaan hin beekamneenis saba kanatti ni dubbata;
For with stammering lips and a strange tongue will he speak to this people;
12 inni akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Kun iddoo boqonnaa ti; warri dadhaban haa boqotan; kun iddoo aara galfannaa ti.” Isaan garuu dhagaʼuu didan.
to whom he said, This is the rest: cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. But they would not hear.
13 Yoo akkasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana isaanitti taʼa; ajaja irratti ajaja; ajaja irratti ajaja; sirna irratti sirna; sirna irratti sirna; asitti muraasa; achitti muraasa; kunis akka isaan dhaqanii dugda duubatti kufanii fi akka isaan caccabanii kiyyoodhaan qabamaniif.
And the word of Jehovah was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little: that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Kanaafuu isin qoostonni warri uummata Yerusaalem bulchitan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Isin akkana jettanii of tuultu; “Nu duʼa wajjin kakuu galleerra; siiʼool wajjinis walii galtee gooneerra. Sababii nu soba daʼoo godhannee, sobas iddoo itti dhokannu godhanneef, balaan hamaan yeroo dhufee lafa balleessutti nu tuquu hin dandaʼu.” (Sheol h7585)
For ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol have we made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. (Sheol h7585)
16 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Kunoo ani dhagaa tokko, dhagaa qoratame, dhagaa golee gati jabeessa tokko hundee mirkanaaʼaadhaaf Xiyoon keessa nan kaaʼa; namni amanu kam iyyuu hin qaanaʼu.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste.
17 Ani murtii qajeelaa funyoo ittiin safaran, qajeelummaa immoo madaalii nan godhadha; soba isin daʼoo godhattan sana bokkaan jabaan ni balleessa; bishaanis lafa isin itti dhokattan keessa ni lolaʼa.
And I will appoint judgment for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
18 Kakuun isin duʼa wajjin godhattan ni diigama; walii galteen isin siiʼool wajjin godhattanis ni barbadeeffama. Yeroo balaan hamaan dhufee lafa balleessutti isin lafatti gad dhidhiitamtu. (Sheol h7585)
And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 Inni yeroo dhufu hunda isin fudhatee deema; ganama ganama halkanii fi guyyaas, inni waa balleessa.” Ergaa kana hubachuun naasuu guddaa namatti fida.
As it passeth through it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be terror only to understand the report.
20 Sireen irratti diriirfachuuf baayʼee gabaabaa dha; uffata halkanii ofitti marachuuf baayʼee dhiphaa dha.
For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow when he would wrap himself in it.
21 Waaqayyo hojii isaa, hojii isaa haaraa sana hojjechuuf, gocha isaa, gocha isaa kan hin beekamne sana hojjechuuf, akkuma Tulluu Pheraaziim keessatti godhe sana ni kaʼa; akkuma Sulula Gibeʼoonitti godhe sana ni kaʼa.
For Jehovah will rise up as on mount Perazim, he will be moved with anger as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and perform his act, his unwonted act.
22 Amma qoosaa keessan dhiisaa; yoo akkas hin taʼin foncaan keessan isinitti jabaata; Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, labsii guutummaa biyyattii balleessuuf labse natti himeera.
Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and [one] determined, upon the whole land.
23 Dhaggeeffadhaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼaa; qalbeeffadhaatii waan ani dubbadhu dhagaʼaa.
Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Qonnaan bulaan tokko yeroo sanyii facaasuuf lafa qotatutti, ittuma fufee qotaa? Inni ittuma fufee biyyoo caccabsee bulleessaa?
Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? Is he [all day] opening and breaking the clods of his land?
25 Inni yeroo lafa wal qixxeessutti dimbilaalaa fi kamuunii hin facaasuu? Inni qamadii toora tooraan, garbuu iddoo isaa irratti, honboriis lafa qotiisaa isaa irratti hin facaasuu?
Doth he not, when he hath levelled the face thereof, cast abroad dill, and scatter cummin, and set the wheat in rows, and the barley in an appointed place, and the rye in its border?
26 Waaqni isaa isa barsiisa; karaa qajeelaa irras isa buusa.
His God doth instruct him in [his] judgment, he doth teach him.
27 Abasuudni gangalchaadhaan hin dhaʼamu; kamuunii irras gommaan gaarii hin oofamu; abasuudni uleedhaan, insilaalli immoo shimalaan dhaʼama.
For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.
28 Midhaan buddeena tolchuuf daakamuu qaba; kanaafuu namni tokko bara baraan midhaan hin dhaʼu. Inni gommaa gaarii kan midhaan dhaʼu midhaan sana irra oofu iyyuu fardeen isaa midhaanicha hin bulleessan.
Bread [corn] is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses [over it], he would not crush it.
29 Wanni kun hundinuu Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, isa mariidhaan dinqisiisaa, ogummaadhaanis guddaa taʼe biraa dhufa.
This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.
