Isaayyaas 29

1 Yaa Ariiʼeel, yaa Ariiʼeel, magaalaa Daawit keessa jiraate, siif wayyoo! Waggaa irratti waggaa dabalaa; ayyaanonni waggaas ittuma haa fufan.

Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.

2 Taʼus ani Ariiʼeelin marsee nan qaba; isheen boossee ni wawwaatti; isheen anaaf akka Ariiʼeel taati.

And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.

3 Ani karaa hundaan naannoo kee nan qubadha; gamoowwaniinis sin marsa; tuullaa biyyoos sitti naannessee nan dhaaba.

And I will make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.

4 Ati gad deebifamtee lafa irraa ni dubbatta; haasaan kee biyyoo keessaa guunguma. Sagaleen kee akka sagalee ekeraa lafa keessaa baʼa; haasaan kees biyyoo keessaa hasaasa.

Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.

5 Diinonni kee hedduun garuu akka awwaara bullaaʼee, gara jabeeyyiin baayʼeenis akka habaqii bubbeen fudhatee taʼu. Akkuma tasaa utuu hin beekaminis,

And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.

6 Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, bakakkaadhaan, sochii lafaatii fi waca guddaadhaan, bubbeedhaan, bubbee hamaa fi arraba ibidda waa fixuutiin ni dhufa.

And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.

7 Ergasii tuunni saboota hundaa kan Ariiʼeeliin lolu, kan ishee fi daʼoo ishee jajjaboo dhaʼee marsee qabu, akkuma abjuu, akkuma mulʼata halkan keessaa taʼa;

And the multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.

8 kunis akkuma namni beelaʼe tokko akka waa nyaachaa jiru abjuudhaan argee yeroo dammaqutti garuu amma illee beela qabu sana, yookaan akkuma namni dheebote tokko akka waa dhugaa jiru abjuudhaan argee yeroo dammaqutti garuu amma illee dheebuudhaan gaggabu sana taʼa. Tuuta saboota hundaa kan Tulluu Xiyoon lolu irrattis akkasuma taʼa.

And as he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against mount Sion.

9 Rifadhaa; dinqisiifadhaas; of jaamsaatii nama waa hin argine taʼaa; machaaʼaa; garuu daadhii wayiniitiin hin taʼin; gatantaraa; garuu dhugaatii jabaadhaan hin taʼin.

Be astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with drunkenness.

10 Waaqayyo hirriba cimaa isinitti buuseera; ija keessan raajota, cufeera; mataa keessan ilaaltootas, haguugeera.

For the Lord hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that see visions.

11 Mulʼanni kun hundi isiniif dubbii kitaaba maramaa irratti chaappeffame malee homaa miti. Yoo isin kitaaba kana nama dubbisuu dandaʼu tokkotti kennitanii, “Maaloo mee waan kana dubbisi” jettaniin inni, “Sababii kitaabichi chaappeffameef ani dubbisuu hin dandaʼu” jedhee deebisa.

And the vision of all shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: I cannot, for it is sealed.

12 Yookaan yoo isin kitaaba maramaa kana nama dubbisuu hin dandeenye tokkotti kennitanii, “Maaloo mee waan kana dubbisi” jettaniin inni, “Ani akkamitti akkan dubbisu hin beeku” jedhee deebisa.

And the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.

13 Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Uummanni kun afaan isaatiin natti dhiʼaata; hidhii isaatiinis na kabaja; garaan isaa garuu narraa fagoo jira. Waaqeffannaan isaan na waaqeffatanis seera namni barsiisu qofaan tolfame.

And the Lord said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment and doctrines of men:

14 Kanaafuu ani amma illee dinqii irratti dinqii dabalee uummata kana nan dinqisiisa; ogummaan nama ogeessaa ni bada; hubannaan hubattootaas ni dhokata.”

Therefore behold I will proceed to cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

15 Warra karoora isaanii Waaqayyo duraa dhokfachuuf jedhanii qileetti gad buʼaniif, warra hojii isaanii dukkana keessatti hojjetanii, “Eenyutu nu arga? Eenyutu beeka?” jedhanii yaadaniif wayyoo!

Woe to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?

16 Kun jalʼina keessan, suphee dhooftuu akka supheetti ilaaltu! Wanni tolchame tokko nama isa tolcheen “Inni na hin tolchine” jedhaa? Okkoteen tokko suphee dhooftuudhaan, “Inni homaa hin beeku” jechuu dandaʼaa?

This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.

17 Libaanoon yeroo gabaabaa keessatti lafa qotiisaa gabbatte hin taatuu? Lafti qonnaa gabbataan sunis bosona hin fakkaattuu?

Is it not yet a very little while, and Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel shall be esteemed as a forest?

18 Gaafas duudaan dubbii kitaaba maramaa ni dhagaʼa; iji nama jaamaa dimimmisaa fi dukkana keessatti ni arga.

And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind shall see.

19 Namni gad of qabu ammas Waaqayyotti ni gammada; rakkattoonnis Qulqullicha Israaʼel sanaan ni gammadu.

And the meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20 Gara jabeeyyiin ni badu; warri namatti qoosan ni barbadaaʼu; warri hammina hojjechuu jaallatan hundinuu ni balleeffamu;

For he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:

21 warri dubbiin yakkamaa nama godhan, warri namicha mana murtiitti namaaf falmu dura kiyyoo kaaʼanii sobaan dhugaa baʼuudhaan murtii qajeelaa nama yakka hin qabnee jalʼisan ni balleeffamu.

That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.

22 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo inni Abrahaamin fure sun mana Yaaqoobiin akkana jedha: “Yaaqoob siʼachi deebiʼee hin qaanaʼu; fuulli isaas siʼachi hin dukkanaaʼu.

Therefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:

23 Isaan yeroo gidduu isaaniitti ijoollee isaanii hojii harka kootii sana arganitti, maqaa koo ni qulqulleessu; isaan qulqullummaa Qulqullicha Yaaqoob ni beeku; Waaqa Israaʼelis sodaachuudhaan ni jiraatu.

But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify the God of Israel:

24 Warri dogoggoran hubannaa ni argatu; warri guungumanis qajeelfama ni fudhatu.”

And they that erred in spirit, shall know understanding, and they that murmured, shall learn the law.
