Isaayyaas 64
1 Akka tulluuwwan fuula kee duratti raafamaniif, maaloo ati utuu samiiwwan tarsaaftee gad buutee!
If thou wouldest open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from thee, and they shall melt,
2 Akkuma ibiddi hanxaxii gubee, bishaan danfisu sana, akka maqaan kee diinota kee biratti beekamuuf gad buʼiitii akka saboonni fuula kee duratti hollatan godhi!
as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and thy name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at thy presence the nations shall be troubled,
3 Ati yeroo waan sodaachisaa nu hin yaadin hojjettetti gad buute; tulluuwwanis fuula kee duratti hollatan.
whenever thou shalt work gloriously; trembling from thee shall take hold upon the mountains.
4 Si malee Waaqa warra isa abdataniif dhaabatu, bara duriitii jalqabee namni tokko iyyuu hin dhageenye; yookaan gurri tokko iyyuu hin qalbeeffanne; iji tokko iyyuu hin argine.
From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside thee, and thy works which thou wilt perform to them that wait for mercy.
5 Ati warra gammachuudhaan waan tolaa hojjetan kanneen karaa kee yaadatan gargaaruuf ni dhufta. Garuu yommuu nu ittuma fufnee cubbuu hojjennetti ati ni dheekkamte. Yoos nu akkamitti fayyuu dandeenya ree?
For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember thy ways: behold, thou wast angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,
6 Hundi keenya akka nama qulqullina hin qabnee taaneerra; hojiin qajeelummaa keenyaa hundis akka huccuu xuraaʼummaa ti; hundi keenya akkuma baalaa coollagne; cubbuun keenyas akkuma bubbee haxaaʼee nu fudhate.
and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us [away].
7 Namni maqaa kee waammatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; yookaan namni si qabachuuf carraaqu hin jiru; ati fuula kee nu dhokfattee sababii cubbuu keenyaatiifis nu fixxeertaatii.
And there is none that calls upon thy name, or that remembers to take hold on thee: for thou hast turned thy face away from us, and hast delivered us up because of our sins.
8 Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo, ati Abbaa keenya. Nu suphee dha; ati immoo dhooftuu suphee ti; hundi keenya hojii harka keetii ti.
And now, O Lord, thou art our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of thine hands.
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati akka malee hin dheekkamin; cubbuu keenyas bara baraan hin yaadatin. Maaloo si kadhannaa, fuula kee nuuf deebisi; nu hundinuu saba keetii.
Be not very wroth with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on [us], for we are all thy people.
10 Magaalaawwan kee qulqulloonni onaniiru; Xiyoon iyyuu onteerti; Yerusaalemis duwwaa hafteerti.
The city of thy holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.
11 Manni qulqullummaa keenya qulqullichii fi ulfina qabeessi, iddoon abbootiin keenya itti si galateeffatan sun ibiddaan gubameera; wanni nu itti gammannu hundis barbadeeffameera.
The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.
12 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati wantoota kanneen hunda calʼuma jettee ilaaltaa? Ati calʼistee akka malee nu adabdaa?
And for all these things thou, O Lord, has withholden, thyself, and been silent, and hast brought us very low.
