Isaayyaas 47
1 “Yaa intala Baabilon Durba Qulqullittii, gad buʼi; awwaara irra taaʼi; yaa Intala Baabilonotaa, teessoo malee lafa taaʼi! Ati siʼachi bareedduu yookaan kichuu jedhamtee hin waamamtu.
Descend, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground. There is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called delicate and tender.
2 Dhagaa daakuu fudhadhuutii midhaan daaki; haguuggii kee of irraa fuudhi. Wandaboo kee soqoladhu; gudeeda kee mulʼisi; laga ceʼi.
Take a millstone and grind meal. Uncover your shame, bare your shoulder, reveal your legs, cross the streams.
3 Qullaan kee ifatti ni baʼa; qaaniin kees hin dhokatu. Ani haaloo nan baʼa; ani nama tokko iyyuu hin dhiisu.”
Your disgrace will be revealed, and your shame will be seen. I will seize vengeance, and no man will withstand me.
4 Furiin keenya maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha; inni Qulqullicha Israaʼel.
Our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 “Yaa Intala Baabilonotaa, calʼisii taaʼiitii dukkana seeni; ati siʼachi mootittii mootummootaa jedhamtee hin waamamtu.
Sit in silence, and enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no longer be called the noblewoman of kingdoms.
6 Ani saba kootti dheekkameera; handhuuraa koos xureesseera; ani dabarsee harka keetti isaan kenneera; atis garaa hin laafneef. Warra dullooman irra iyyuu waanjoo ulfaataa keesse.
I was angry with my people. I have polluted my inheritance, and I have given them into your hand. You have not shown mercy to them. You have greatly increased the burden of your yoke upon the elders.
7 Ati, ‘Ani bara baraan itti fufee mootittii bara baraa nan taʼa!’ jette. Ati garuu wantoota kana hin hubanne yookaan dhumni isaanii maal akka taʼu hin yaadanne.
And you have said: “I will be a noblewoman forever.” You have not set these things upon your heart, and you have not remembered your end.
8 “Ammas yaa ishee qananiituu, kan nagaan jiraattee garaa kee keessattis, ‘Anuma; ana malee tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ani siʼachi haadha hiyyeessaa yookaan nama dhalee dhabe hin taʼu’ ofiin jettu dhagaʼi.
And now, hear these things, you who are delicate and have confidence, who say in your heart: “I am, and there is no one greater than me. I will not sit as a widow, and I will not know barrenness.”
9 Wantoonni kunneen lamaan, dhalanii dhabuu fi haadha hiyyeessaa taʼuun akkuma tasaa guyyuma tokkotti sitti dhufu. Isaan baayʼina falfala keetiitii fi tolcha kee cimaa sanaa hunda irraan iyyuu humna isaanii guutuudhaan sitti dhufu.
These two things will suddenly overwhelm you in one day: barrenness and widowhood. All things shall overwhelm you, because of the multitude of your sorceries and because of the great cruelty of your enchantments.
10 Ati hammina kee amanattee, ‘Namni tokko iyyuu na hin argu’ jette. Yeroo ati garaa kee keessatti, ‘Ana; ana malee namni biraa hin jiru’ jettutti, ogummaa fi beekumsi kee si dogoggorsu.
And you have trusted in your malice, and you have said: “There is no one who sees me.” Your wisdom and your knowledge, these have deceived you. And you have said in your heart: “I am, and beside me there is no other.”
11 Wanni hamaan sitti dhufa; ati immoo eessaa akka inni dhufu hin beektu. Balaan ati of irraa ittisuu hin dandeenye tokko sitti dhufa; badiisni ati duraan dursitee hin beekin akkuma tasaa sitti dhufa.
Evil will overwhelm you, and you will not notice its rising. And calamity will fall violently over you, and you will not be able to avert it. You will suddenly be overwhelmed by a misery such as you have never known.
12 “Yoos ati tolcha keetii fi falfala kee baayʼee ijoollummaa keetii jalqabdee itti dadhabde sana jabeessii eegi. Yoo akkas taʼe ati ni milkoofta; yoo akkas taʼe nama ni sodaachifta taʼa.
Stand with your incantations, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if somehow it might benefit you, or as if it were able to make you stronger.
13 Gorsi ati argatte hundi dadhabbii qofa sitti fide! Urjii lakkooftonni kee warri jiʼa jiʼaan urjii ilaalanii raajan sun, mee waan sitti dhufu duraa si haa baasan kaa.
You have failed in the multitude of your plans! Let the seers stand and save you, those who were contemplating the stars, and figuring the months, so that from these they might announce to you the things to come.
14 Dhugumaan isaan akkuma cidii ti; ibiddi isaan guba. Isaan mataa isaanii iyyuu, humna arraba ibiddaa jalaa baasuu hin dandaʼan. Barbadaan ibiddaa kan namni hoʼifatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ibiddi bira taaʼanis hin argamu.
Behold, they have become like stubble. Fire has consumed them. They will not free themselves from the power of the flames. These are not coals by which they may be warmed, nor is this a fire which they may sit beside.
15 Wanni warri ati wajjin dadhabdee ijoollummaa keetii jalqabdee wajjin daldalte sun siif gochuu dandaʼan kanuma. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dogoggora isaanii itti fufan; kan si baasuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
So have all these things, in which you have labored, become to you. Your merchants from your youth, each one has erred in his own way. There is no one who can save you.
