Isaayyaas 33
1 Yaa barbadeessaa, ati kan hin barbadeeffamin siif wayyoo! Yaa gantuu, ati kan hin ganamin siif wayyoo! Ati yommuu barbadeessuu dhiiftutti ni barbadeeffamta; yommuu ganuu dhiiftuttis ni ganamta.
Tragedy is coming to you, you destroyer who has not experienced destruction yourself, you deceiver who has not experienced deception yourself! When you have finished with your destroying, you will be destroyed yourself. Then you are finished with your deceiving, you will be deceived yourselves.
2 Yaa Waaqayyo, nu maari; nu si eeggannaa. Ati ganama ganama jabina keenya, yeroo dhiphinaatti immoo fayyina keenya nuuf taʼi.
Lord, please be kind to us; we put our confidence in you. Be the strength we rely on every morning; be our salvation in times of trouble.
3 Sagalee kakawwee keetiitiin, namoonni baqatu; yeroo ati ol kaatutti, saboonni ni bittinnaaʼu.
When you roar, the peoples run away; when you prepare for action, the nations scatter!
4 Yaa saboota, akkuma hawwaannisni walitti qabamu sana boojuun keessan walitti qabama; namoonnis akkuma tuuta hawwaannisaa irra uʼutaalu.
You plunder defeated enemy armies like caterpillars eating up plants; like an attack of swarming locusts.
5 Waaqayyo ol ol jedha; inni ol gubbaa jiraataatii; inni murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan Xiyoonin guuta.
The Lord is praised for he lives in highest heaven; he has filled Zion with justice and right.
6 Inni bara keetiif hundee amansiisaa, kuusaa fayyinaa, kan ogummaatii fi kan beekumsaa taʼa; Waaqayyoon sodaachuun furtuu badhaadhummaa kanaa ti.
He will be your constant support throughout your lives an abundant source of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Reverence for the Lord is what makes Zion rich.
7 Kunoo gootonni isaanii sagalee ol fudhatanii daandii irratti iyyu; ergamoonni nagaas hiqqifatanii booʼu.
But look! Even your bravest soldiers are crying loudly in the street; the messengers you sent to ask for peace are weeping bitterly.
8 Karaawwan gurguddaan onaniiru; namni karaa irra deemu hin jiru. Walii galteen diigameera; dhuga baatonni ishee tuffatamaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu hin kabajamu.
Your highways are deserted; nobody's traveling on your roads anymore. He breaks the treaty; he despises the witnesses; he doesn't care about anybody.
9 Lafti ni boossi; ni barbadoofti; Libaanoon ni qaanofti; ni coollagdi; Shaaroon akka gammoojjii taati; Baashaanii fi Qarmeloos baala isaanii harcaafatu.
Israel is in mourning and fades away; Lebanon withers in shame; the fields of Sharon have become a desert; the forests of Bashan and Carmel have shed their leaves.
10 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Ani amma nan kaʼa; ani amma ol ol nan jedha; ani amma nan kabajama.
“But now I'm going to intervene!” says the Lord. “I'm prepared to act! I will show myself to be above all others!
11 Isin habaqii ulfooftu; cidii deessu; hafuurri isin baafattan ibidda gubee isin fixuu dha.
All you give birth to is only dry grass, all you deliver is just stubble. Your breath is a fire that will burn you up.
12 Namoonni akkuma nooraa gubamu; akkuma qoraattii cirameettis ibiddi itti qabsiifama.”
You people will be burned to ashes like thorns that are cut down and thrown into the fire.
13 Isin warri fagoo jirtan waan ani hojjedhe dhagaʼaa; warri dhiʼoo jirtanis humna koo beekaa!
Those of you who are far away, recognize what I have accomplished; those of you who are nearby, recognize how powerful I am.”
14 Cubbamoonni Xiyoon keessaa ni sodaatu; warri Waaqatti hin bulles hollachaa, “Nu keessaa eenyutu ibidda waa balleessu wajjin jiraachuu dandaʼa? Nu keessaa eenyutu ibidda bara baraan hin dhaamne wajjin jiraachuu dandaʼa?” jedhu.
The sinners who live in Zion tremble with fear; those who are irreligious are overcome with terror. They ask, “Who can live with this fire that consumes everything? Who can live among such everlasting burning?”
15 Namni qajeelummaan jiraatee dhugaa dubbatu, kan faayidaa karaa dabaatiin argamu lagatee harka isaa mattaʼaa fudhachuu irraa eeggatu, namni marii nama ajjeesuu irraa gurra isaa cuqqaallatee jalʼina ilaaluu irraa ija isaa dunuunfatu,
Those who live right and speak the truth, those who refuse to profit from extortion and refuse to take bribes, who don't listen to plots to kill people, who close their eyes rather than look at evil.
16 iddoo ol kaʼaa irra jiraata; daʼannoon isaas kattaa jabaa taʼa. Buddeenni isaaf ni kennama; bishaanis isatti hin hirʼatu.
They will live on high; they will be protected by the mountain fortresses; they will always be provided with food and will always have water.
17 Iji kee mooticha miidhagummaa isaatiin arga; biyya fagoo jirtu illee ni ilaala.
You will see the king in his wonderful appearance, and you will view a land that stretches into the distance.
18 Atis akkana jettee garaa keetti raafama durii sana yaadda: “Ajajaan ol aanaan sun eessa jira? Namichi gibira fuudhu sun eessa jira? Ajajaan itti gaafatamaan gamoowwanii eessa jira?”
In your mind you will think about the terrifying things that were expected, and then ask yourself, “Where are the enemy officials—the scribes who were to record events, the treasurers who were to weigh the looted money, the surveyors who were to count and destroy the towers?”
19 Ati siʼachi saba hamaa, kan haasaan isaa namaaf hin galle, kan afaan isaa haaraa taʼee fi hin hubatamne hin argitu.
You won't see these offensive people anymore with their barbaric language that sounds like someone stammering and is impossible to understand.
20 Xiyoon, magaalaa ayyaana keenyaa hubadhuu ilaali; iji kee Yerusaalemin, iddoo jireenyaa nagaa qabu, dunkaana hin buqqifamne arga; qofoon ishee hin buqqifamu; yookaan funyoon ishee tokko iyyuu hin citu.
On the contrary, you'll see Zion as a festival city. You will view Jerusalem as a quiet and peaceful place. It will be like a tent that's never taken down, whose tent-pegs are never pulled up, whose guy ropes never snap.
21 Waaqayyo achitti Humna keenya taʼa. Iddoon sunis akkuma lageen gurguddaatii fi burqaawwanii taʼa. Dooniin waraanaa kan batoodhaan oofamu tokko iyyuu isaan irra hin deemu; dooniin jabaan tokko iyyuu isaan irra hin qaxxaamuru.
Right here our majestic Lord will be like a place of broad rivers and waters that no enemy ship with oars can cross—no great ship can pass.
22 Waaqayyo abbaa murtii keenyaatii; Waaqayyo seera nuuf kenna; Waaqayyo mootii keenya; inni nu fayyisa.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king. He is the one who will save us.
23 Funyoon kee laafeera; utubaan isaa jabaatee hin dhaabamne; sharaanis hin diriirfamne. Ergasii boojuun baayʼeen ni qoodama; okkolaan iyyuu boojuu ni fudhata.
The rigging on your ship hangs loose so the mast isn't secure and the sail can't be spread. Then all the looted treasure you're carrying will be divided among the victors—even those who are lame will have their share.
24 Namni Xiyoon keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu, “Na dhukkuba” hin jedhu; cubbuun warra achi jiraatanis ni dhiifamaaf.
Nobody in Israel will say, “I'm sick,” and those who live there will have their guilt removed.
