Isaayyaas 30
1 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ijoollee fincilan, kanneen karoora karoora koo hin taʼin duukaa buʼan, kanneen fedhii kootiin alatti walii galtee uuman, kanneen cubbuu irratti cubbuu dabalaniif wayyoo;
“Woe to the rebellious children”, says Yahweh, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;
2 kanneen utuu anaan hin mariʼatin Gibxitti gad buʼan, kanneen gaaddisa Gibxi daʼoof, eegumsa Faraʼoon immoo gargaarsaaf abdataniif wayyoo.
who set out to go down into Egypt without asking for my advice, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Eegumsi Faraʼoon garuu qaanii isinitti taʼa; gaaddisni Gibxis salphina isinitti fida.
Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Isaan yoo Zooʼaan keessatti qondaaltota qabaatan iyyuu, yoo ergamoonni isaaniis Haanees gaʼan iyyuu,
For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
5 tokkoon tokkoon isaanii sababii uummata isaan hin fayyadne kanneen qaanii fi salphina malee gargaarsa yookaan buʼaa hin kennine sanaatiif ni qaaneffamu.”
They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can’t profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.”
6 Raajii waaʼee bineensota Negeeb dubbatame: Ergamoonni qabeenya isaanii harreetti, meeshaa isaanii gaalatti feʼatanii biyya leenci kormii fi leenci dhalaan, bofti summii qabuu fi bofti darbatamu jiraatan, lafa rakkinaa fi dhiphinaan guute keessa baʼanii gara biyya homaa hin fayyadnee
The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
7 gara Gibxi kan gargaarsi ishee gonkumaa buʼaa hin qabne sanaa dhaqu. Kanaafuu ani, “Raʼaab, kan homaa hin fayyadne” jedhee ishee nan waama.
For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
8 Amma dhaqiitii gabatee irratti barreessiif; kitaaba maramaa irratti katabiif; kunis akka baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa dhuga baʼumsa bara baraa taʼuuf.
Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
9 Jarri kunneen uummata fincilaa, ijoollee sobduu dha; ijoollee seera Waaqayyoo dhagaʼuuf fedhii hin qabnee dha.
For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear Yahweh’s law;
10 Isaan mulʼata argitootaan, “Siʼachi mulʼata tokko illee hin arginaa!” jedhu; raajotaanis akkana jedhu; “Isin siʼachi mulʼata qajeelaa taʼe nutti hin himinaa! Waan nama gammachiisu nutti himaa; gowwoomsaa nuuf raajaa.
who tell the seers, “Don’t see!” and the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
11 Karaa kana gad dhiisaa; daandii kana irraa jalʼadhaa; Qulqullicha Israaʼel fuula keenya duraa dhabamsiisaa!” jedhu.
Get out of the way. Turn away from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.”
12 Kanaafuu Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Sababii isin ergaa kana diddanii nama hacuucuu abdattanii gowwoomsaatti irkattaniif,
Therefore the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
13 cubbuun kun, akkuma dallaa ol dheeraa dhagaan ijaarame kan baqaqee bosose kan utuu hin beekamin tasa jiguu isinitti taʼa.
therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
14 Dallaan sun akkuma miʼa supheetti, hamma wanni ittiin cilee bobaʼu iddoo ibiddaatii fuudhan iyyuu hin hafnetti yookaan hamma wanni ittiin boolla bishaanii keessaa bishaan budduuqsan hin hafnetti akka malee caccabee burkutaaʼa.”
He will break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won’t be found among the broken pieces a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
15 Waaqayyo Gooftaan, Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Deebiʼuu fi boqochuudhaan ni fayyitu; tasgabbaaʼuu fi abdachuudhaan ni jabaattu; isin garuu kana hin goone.
For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,
16 Isinis, ‘Lakki, nu fardeeniin ni baqanna’ jettu. Kanaafuu isin ni baqattu! Isin, ‘Nu fardeen ariifatanii fiiganiin ni gulufna’ jettu. Kanaafuu warri isin gugsan ni saffisu!
but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;” therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;” therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
17 Doorsisa nama tokkootiin, kumatu baqata; doorsisa nama shaniitiin immoo, isin hamma akkuma muka alaabaa fiixee tulluu irra jiruu, akkuma faajjii gaara irra jiruu taatanii haftanitti hundi keessan ni baqattu.”
One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
18 Taʼus Waaqayyo isiniif arjoomuu barbaada; isiniif naʼuufis ni kaʼa: Waaqayyo Waaqa murtii qajeelaa ti. Warri isa eeggatan hundi eebbifamoo dha.
Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
19 Yaa saba Xiyoon, warri Yerusaalem keessa jiraattan, isin siʼachi hin boossan. Yeroo isin gargaarsa barbaachaaf gara isaatti iyyattanitti inni dhugumaan isiniif arjooma! Akkuma dhagaʼeenis deebii isiniif kenna.
For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
20 Gooftaan buddeena rakkinaatii fi bishaan dhiphinaa siif kennu illee barsiisaan kee siʼachi hin dhokatu; ati ijuma keetiin isa argita.
Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won’t be hidden any more, but your eyes will see your teachers;
21 Ati yeroo gara mirgaatti yookaan gara bitaatti gortutti, dugda kee duubaan sagalee, “Karaan kana; isa irra deemi” jedhu tokko gurri kee ni dhagaʼa.
and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22 Ati ergasii waaqota kee tolfamoo kanneen meetiin irra dibamee fi fakkiiwwan kee kanneen warqeen itti uffifame sana ni xureessita; akkuma huccuu xuraaʼummaas of irraa isaan darbattee, “Asii badaa!” jettaan.
You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, “Go away!”
23 Inni sanyii ati lafatti facaafattuuf bokkaa siif kenna; midhaan lafti baaftus kan misee fi kan akka malee baayʼate taʼa. Bara sana keessa loon kee lafa dheedaa balʼaa irratti bobbaʼu.
He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
24 Qotiyyoo fi harreen qotiisaa okaa filatamaa qorbii fi afarsaadhaan qulqulleeffame nyaatu.
The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
25 Guyyaa badiisa guddaatti, yeroo qooxiiwwan eegumsaa jijjiganitti yaaʼawwan bishaanii tulluuwwanii fi gaarran ol dhedheeroo hunda irra yaaʼu.
There will be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Gaafa Waaqayyo cabaa saba isaa hidhee warra madeesse illee fayyisutti jiʼi akkuma aduu ifa; ifni aduus akkuma ifa guyyaa torbaa dachaa torba ni ifa.
Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
27 Kunoo Maqaan Waaqayyoo aarii bobaʼuu fi duumessa gobbuu aaraatiin fagoodhaa dhufaa jira; afaan isaa dheekkamsaan, arrabni isaas ibidda gubee balleessuun guutameera.
Behold, Yahweh’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation. His tongue is as a devouring fire.
28 Hafuurri inni baafatu akkuma laga guutee hamma morma gaʼutti ol kaʼuu ti. Inni gingilchaa badiisaatiin saboota gingilcha; inni luugama karaa irraa isaan balleessu haʼoo sabootaa keessa kaaʼa.
His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
29 Isin akkuma halkan ayyaana qulqulluu ayyaaneffattanitti, faarfannaa ni faarfattu; garaan keessan akkuma yeroo namoonni ulullee afuufaa gara tulluu Waaqayyootti, gara Kattaa Israaʼelitti ol baʼan sanaa ni gammada.
You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.
30 Waaqayyo akka namoonni sagalee isaa surra qabeessa sana dhagaʼan ni godha; inni akka isaan irree isaa kan aarii guddaa fi ibidda gubee balleessuun, bokkaa hamaadhaan, bakakkaa fi cabbiidhaan dhufaa jiru argan ni godha.
Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
31 Sagaleen Waaqayyoo Asoorin ni caccabsa; bokkuu isaatiinis isaan barbadeessa.
For through Yahweh’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
32 Adabbiin ulee kan Waaqayyo isaan irra buusu hundi sagalee dibbeetii fi sagalee kiraaraa of keessaa qaba; innis rukuttaa irree isaatiin waraana keessatti isaan lola.
Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
33 Toofet dur qopheeffame; inni mootichaaf qopheeffame. Boolli ibiddaa isaa gad fageeffamee balʼifamee hojjetame; innis ibiddaa fi qoraaniin guutameera; hafuurri afaan Waaqayyootii baʼus akkuma dinyii dhangalaʼuu akka inni bobaʼu godha.
For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, it is prepared for the king. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Yahweh’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
