Isaayyaas 8
1 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Gabatee guddaa tokko fuudhiitii isa irratti, ‘Maheer-Shaalaal-Haash-Baaz’ jedhii qubee beekamaadhaan barreessi.”
Moreover Yhwh said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Maher–shalal–hash–baz.
2 Anis akka isaan dhuga baatota amanamoo taʼaniif Uuriyaa lubichaa fi Zakkaariyaas ilma Yeberekiyaa nan waammadha.
And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Anis raajittii bira nan gaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesse. Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Maqaa isaa Maheer-Shaalaal-Haash-Baaz jedhii moggaasi.
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said Yhwh to me, Call his name Maher–shalal–hash–baz.
4 Utuu mucaan kun ‘Aabboo’ yookaan ‘Aayyoo’ jechuu hin beekin dura qabeenyi Damaasqootii fi boojuun Samaariyaa mootii Asooriin fudhatama.”
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 Waaqayyo ammas akkana jedhee natti dubbate:
Yhwh spake also unto me again, saying,
6 “Sabni kun bishaan Shilooʼaa kan suuta yaaʼu sana dhiisee Reziinii fi ilma Remaaliyaatti gammadeeraatii;
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 kanaafuu Gooftaan, lolaa guddaa kan laga Efraaxiis jechuunis mootii Asoor ulfina isaa hunda wajjin saba kanatti fida. Lolaan sunis guutee boʼoo isaa irra yaaʼee ededa isaa hunda irra dhangalaʼa.
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 Lolaan sunis hamma morma gaʼutti guutee irra dhangalaʼee keessa darbuudhaan waan hundumaa haxaaʼee Yihuudaatti geessa. Yaa Amaanuʼel! Qoochoon isaa balʼifamee guutummaa biyya keetii ni haguuga.”
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9 Yaa saboota, burkutaaʼaa! Isin warri biyya fagoo jirtan hundi dhaggeeffadhaa. Waraanaaf hidhadhaa; taʼus burkutaaʼaa! Waraanaaf hidhadhaa; taʼus burkutaaʼaa!
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 Mariʼadhaa; garuu faayidaa hin qabu; karoorfadhaa; garuu fiixaan hin baʼu; Waaqni nu wajjin jiraatii.
Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11 Waaqayyo harka isaa jabaa sanaan natti dubbatee akka ani karaa saba kanaa irra hin deemneef akkana jedhee na akeekkachiiseeraatii:
for Yhwh spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 “Isin waan uummanni kun fincila jedhu hundaan fincila hin jedhinaa; waan isaan sodaatan hin sodaatinaa; hin raafaminaa.
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Kan isin akka qulqulluutti ilaaluu qabdan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu tokkicha; kan isin sodaachuu qabdan isuma; kan isin hollachuufii qabdanis isuma.
Sanctify Yhwh of Armies himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 Inni iddoo qulqulluu taʼa; manneen Israaʼel lamaaniif garuu inni dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu taʼa. Saba Yerusaalemitti garuu inni kiyyoo fi futtaasaa taʼa.
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Hedduun isaanii ni gufatu; isaan kufanii caccabu; futtaasaa seenanii qabamu.”
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Dhuga baʼumsa kana walitti qabsiisi; seera kanas barattoota koo gidduutti chaappaadhaan cufi.
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 Waaqayyo mana Yaaqoob duraa fuula isaa dhokfate sana nan eeggadha. Ani isa nan amanadha.
And I will wait upon Yhwh, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Anii fi ijoolleen Waaqayyo naa kenne kunoo ti. Nu Israaʼel keessatti Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu kan Tulluu Xiyoon irra jiraatu sanaaf mallattoo fi fakkeenya.
Behold, I and the children whom Yhwh hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yhwh of Armies, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 Yommuu namni tokko dhaqaatii ilaaltootaa fi eker dubbistoota kanneen hasaasanii fi guunguman waa gaafadhaa isiniin jedhutti sabni tokko Waaqa isaa gorsa gaafachuu hin qabuu? Isaan waaʼee jiraattotaa maaliif warra duʼan gaafatu?
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 Akka seeraa fi dhuga baʼumsa sanaatti jiraadhaa! Isaan yoo akka dubbii kanaatti dubbachuu baatan ifa barii hin qaban jechuu dha.
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 Isaan rakkina guddaa fi beelaan biyya keessa jooru; yommuu beelaʼanittis akka malee aaranii, ol ilaalanii mootii isaaniitii fi Waaqa isaanii abaaru.
And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 Ergasiis gara lafaa ilaalanii rakkina guddaa, dukkanaa fi hurrii sodaachisaa argu; isaanis dukkana hamaatti darbatamu.
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
