< Isaayyaas 3 >

1 Kunoo Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaa irraa kennaa fi gargaarsa isaa kan midhaaniitii fi kan bishaanii hunda irraa fudhata;
Behold now, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
2 gootaa fi loltuu, abbaa murtiitii fi raajii, hooda himaa fi maanguddoo,
the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
3 ajajaa shantamaatii fi nama ulfina qabu, gorsituu, ogeessa hojii harkaatii fi ogeessa waa dawweessuu beeku irraa fudhata.
the captain of fifty also, and the honorable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
4 “Ani dargaggoota qondaaltota isaanii nan godha; ijoolleen isaan bulchu.”
And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
5 Namoonni wal hacuucu; namni tokko nama kaanitti, ollaanis, ollaa isaatti kaʼa. Dargaggeessi jaarsatti, tuffatamaanis kabajamaatti kaʼa.
And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbor: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honorable.
6 Namni tokko mana abbaa isaatti, obboloota isaa keessaa tokko qabee, “Ati qoloo qabda; kanaafuu bulchaa nuuf taʼi; tuullaa waan diigamee kanattis itti gaafatama fudhu!” jedha.
For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, You have raiment, be you our ruler, and let my meat be under you.
7 Inni garuu gaafas, “Ani furmaata taʼuu hin dandaʼu. Ani nyaata yookaan uffata tokko illee mana kootii hin qabu; bulchaa sabaa na hin taasisinaa” jedhee iyya.
And he shall answer in that day, and say, I will not be your ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
8 Yerusaalem gatantaraa jirti; Yihuudaan immoo kufteerti; dubbii isaaniitii fi gochi isaanii Waaqayyoon mormuudhaan ulfina argamuu isaa xureessa.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
9 Haalli fuula isaanii dhugaa isaanitti baʼa; isaan akkuma Sodoom cubbuu isaanii ifa baasu; isaan cubbuu isaanii hin dhokfatan. Isaaniif wayyoo! Isaan balaa guddaa ofitti fidaniiru.
Therefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
10 Akka wanni kun isaaniif tolu qajeeltotatti himaa; isaan buʼaa hojii isaanii nyaatu.
Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
11 Hamaadhaaf wayyoo! Badiisni isatti ni dhufa! Inni gatii harka isaa ni argata.
Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
12 Dargaggoonni saba koo cunqursu; dubartoonni isaan bulchu. Yaa saba ko, qajeelchitoonni keessan karaa irraa isin jalʼisaniiru; isaan irraa isin gorsaniiru.
O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blesses lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
13 Waaqayyo murtii kennuuf taaʼeera; saba isaattis muruuf kaʼeera.
But now the Lord will stand up for judgment, and will enter into judgment with his people.
14 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee maanguddootaa fi hooggantoota saba isaatti mura: “Kan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii balleesse isin; wanni hiyyeeyyii irraa saamame mana keessan jira.
The Lord himself shall enter into judgment with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have you set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
15 Isin saba koo caccabsuun keessan, fuula hiyyeeyyiis butuchuun keessan maal gochuu keessan?” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
Why do you wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
16 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Dubartoonni Xiyoon of tuulu; isaan morma dheereffatanii yaaʼu; ijaanis ni waammatu; faaya miilla isaanii kilillisaa cillaanfachaa deemu.
Thus says the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
17 Kanaafuu Gooftaan mataa intallan Xiyoonitti qaaqee ni fida; Waaqayyo gubbee mataa isaanii moleessa.”
therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
18 Gaafas Gooftaan faaya miidhagina isaanii: albuu, marata mataa, faaya mormaa kan baatii fakkaatu,
and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
19 amartii gurraa, bitawoo, haguuggii fuulaa,
and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
20 Marata mataa, faaya miillaa, sabbata, bilqaaxxii shittoo, kudhaama,
and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,
21 qubeelaa chaappaa, amartii funyaanii
and the ear-rings, and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses, and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen, interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
22 wandaboo filatamaa, koofiyyaa, qoloo, korojoo harkaa,
And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, you shall gird yourself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, you shall have baldness on account of your works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, you shall gird yourself with sackcloth.
23 of ilaaleewwan, wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, gonfoo dubartootaatii fi uffata mormaa isaan irraa mulqa.
And your most beautiful son whom you love shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
24 Qooda urgaa, ajaa; qooda sabbataa, funyoo; qooda mataa sirriitti dhaʼamee, moluu; qooda uffata miidhagaa, wayyaa gaddaa; qooda miidhaginaa fokkisuutu dhufa.
And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and you shall be left alone, and shall be levelled with the ground.
25 Namoonni keessan goraadeedhaan, loltoonni keessanis lola keessatti dhumu.
26 Karri Xiyoon faarsitee boossi; isheen ontee lafa teessi.
