Isaayyaas 8
1 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Gabatee guddaa tokko fuudhiitii isa irratti, ‘Maheer-Shaalaal-Haash-Baaz’ jedhii qubee beekamaadhaan barreessi.”
Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it, 'Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'
2 Anis akka isaan dhuga baatota amanamoo taʼaniif Uuriyaa lubichaa fi Zakkaariyaas ilma Yeberekiyaa nan waammadha.
I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
3 Anis raajittii bira nan gaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesse. Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Maqaa isaa Maheer-Shaalaal-Haash-Baaz jedhii moggaasi.
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said 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 knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5 Waaqayyo ammas akkana jedhee natti dubbate:
Yahweh spoke to me again,
6 “Sabni kun bishaan Shilooʼaa kan suuta yaaʼu sana dhiisee Reziinii fi ilma Remaaliyaatti gammadeeraatii;
“Because this people has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah, and is happy over 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.
therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels and overflow its 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.”
The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck. Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.”
9 Yaa saboota, burkutaaʼaa! Isin warri biyya fagoo jirtan hundi dhaggeeffadhaa. Waraanaaf hidhadhaa; taʼus burkutaaʼaa! Waraanaaf hidhadhaa; taʼus burkutaaʼaa!
You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries: arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and be broken in pieces.
10 Mariʼadhaa; garuu faayidaa hin qabu; karoorfadhaa; garuu fiixaan hin baʼu; Waaqni nu wajjin jiraatii.
Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out, 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:
Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
12 “Isin waan uummanni kun fincila jedhu hundaan fincila hin jedhinaa; waan isaan sodaatan hin sodaatinaa; hin raafaminaa.
Do not call conspiracy anything that this people calls conspiracy, you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
13 Kan isin akka qulqulluutti ilaaluu qabdan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu tokkicha; kan isin sodaachuu qabdan isuma; kan isin hollachuufii qabdanis isuma.
It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must 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.
He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling— for both the houses of Israel, and he will be a trap and a snare to the people of Jerusalem.
15 Hedduun isaanii ni gufatu; isaan kufanii caccabu; futtaasaa seenanii qabamu.”
Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and be ensnared and captured.
16 Dhuga baʼumsa kana walitti qabsiisi; seera kanas barattoota koo gidduutti chaappaadhaan cufi.
Bind up my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to my disciples.
17 Waaqayyo mana Yaaqoob duraa fuula isaa dhokfate sana nan eeggadha. Ani isa nan amanadha.
I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will trust in 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.
See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who lives on 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?
They will say to you, “Consult with the mediums and spiritists,” those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
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 do not say such things, it is because they have no light of dawn.
21 Isaan rakkina guddaa fi beelaan biyya keessa jooru; yommuu beelaʼanittis akka malee aaranii, ol ilaalanii mootii isaaniitii fi Waaqa isaanii abaaru.
They will pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
22 Ergasiis gara lafaa ilaalanii rakkina guddaa, dukkanaa fi hurrii sodaachisaa argu; isaanis dukkana hamaatti darbatamu.
They will look at the earth and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
