Isaayyaas 31

1 Warra gargaarsa barbaacha gara Gibxitti gad buʼaniif, warra fardeen abdataniif warra gaariiwwan isaaniitii fi jabina abbootii fardeen isaanii amanatanii garuu gara Qulqullicha Israaʼel hin ilaalle yookaan gargaarsa Waaqayyoo hin barbaanneef wayyoo.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and depend on horses, and confide in chariots because [they are] many, and in horsemen because they are very strong; and who look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!

2 Taʼus inni ogeessa; balaas fiduu dandaʼa; inni waan jedhe irraa duubatti hin deebiʼu. Inni mana hamootaatti, warra namoota hammina hojjetan gargaaraniitti ni kaʼa.

But he also is wise, and he bringeth evil, and recalleth not his words; and he will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of workers of iniquity.

3 Warri Gibxi namootuma malee Waaqa miti; fardeen isaaniis foonuma malee hafuura miti. Yeroo Waaqayyo harka isaa diriirfatutti, inni gargaaru ni gufata; inni gargaaramus ni kufa; isaan lachuu walii wajjin badu.

And the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit; and Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall perish together.

4 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedha: “Akkuma leenci, leenci guddaan tokko waan qabate irratti aadu sana, tuunni tiksootaa guutuun isatti wal waammatan iyyuu, inni iyya isaanii hin sodaatu; yookaan waca isaaniitiin hin raafamu; akkasuma Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Tulluu Xiyoon irratti waraana banuuf gad buʼa.

For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, is not afraid of their voice, nor giveth way before the multitude of them; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion, and on the hill thereof.

5 Akkuma simbirroon mataa namaa irra naannoftu sana Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Yerusaalemiif gaachana taʼa; inni gaachana taʼeefii ishee baraara; ishee bira darba; ishee oolchas.”

As birds with outstretched wings, so will Jehovah of hosts cover Jerusalem; covering, he will also deliver, passing over, he will rescue [it].

6 Yaa saba Israaʼel, gara Isa akka malee itti finciltan sanaatti deebiʼaa.

Turn unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, ye children of Israel;

7 Bara sana tokkoon tokkoon keessan waaqota tolfamoo harki keessan cubbamaan sun meetii fi warqee irraa hojjetee ture sana ni gattuutii.

for in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your sinful hands have made unto you.

8 “Asoor goraadee kan namaa hin taʼiniin kufti; goraadeen nama duʼa hin oollees isaan fixa. Isaan goraadee duraa baqatu; dargaggoonni isaaniis dirqamaan hojii humnaa hojjetu.

And Asshur shall fall by the sword, not of a great man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary;

9 Daʼoon isaanii sababii sodaatiif ni jiga; ajajjoonni isaaniis faajjii waraanaa arganii hollatu” jedha Waaqayyo, inni ibiddi isaa Xiyoon keessa, kan boolli ibidda isaa immoo Yerusaalem keessa jiru sun.

and for fear, he shall pass over to his rock, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
