Isaayyaas 9
1 Warri rakkina guddaa keessa turan garuu siʼachi gadda keessa hin jiraatan. Inni duraan biyya Zebuuloonii fi biyya Niftaalem gad deebise; gara fuulduraatti garuu Galiilaa Namoota Ormaa kan Yordaanosiin gama, qarqara Daandii Galaanaa irra jiran sana ni kabaja.
But there shall be no gloom to her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
2 Sabni dukkana keessa jiraatu ifa guddaa argeera; warra biyya dukkana limixii keessa jiraataniifis ifni baʼeera.
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light has shone.
3 Ati saba baayʼiftee gammachuu isaanii illee guddifteerta; isaan akkuma uummanni yeroo midhaan haamamutti gammadu sana, akkuma namoonni yeroo boojuu qooddatanitti gammadan sana fuula kee duratti ni ililchu.
Thou have multiplied the nation. Thou have increased their joy. They joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 Ati akkuma bara Midiyaanin moʼatame sanaa, waanjoo isaanitti ulfaate somaa gatiittii isaanii irraa ulee cunqursaa isaanii illee caccabsiteerta.
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou have broken as in the day of Midian.
5 Kopheen loltuun ittiin duulte hundi, uffanni dhiiga keessa cuuphame hundi ibiddaan gubama; qoraan ibiddaas taʼa.
For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire.
6 Mucaan nuuf dhalateera; ilmi nuuf kennameera; mootummaan gatiittii isaa irra jiraata. Innis Gorsaa Dinqisiisaa, Waaqa Jabaa, Abbaa Bara baraa, Mootii Nagaa jedhamee ni waamama.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
7 Babalʼinni mootummaa isaatii fi nagaan isaa dhuma hin qabu. Innis murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan hundeessee jabeessee dhaabuudhaan yeroo sanaa jalqabee bara baraan teessoo Daawit irra taaʼee mootummaa isaa bulcha. Hinaaffaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuus waan kana ni raawwata.
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
8 Gooftaan dhaamsa tokko Yaaqoobitti ergeera; kunis Israaʼel irra buʼa.
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.
9 Uummanni hundi, Efreemii fi jiraattonni Samaariyaa waan kana ni beeku; isaanis of tuuluu fi garaa of jajuun akkana jedhu;
And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10 “Xuubiiwwan diigamaniiru; nu garuu dhagaa soofameen deebisnee ijaarra; mukkeen harbuu murmuramaniiru; nu garuu birbirsa iddoo buusna.”
The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone, the sycamores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
11 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo amajaajota Reziin isaanitti jabeesse; diinota isaanii illee isaanitti kakaase.
Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
12 Warri Sooriyaa gama baʼaatiin, Filisxeemonni immoo gama lixaatiin afaan banatanii Israaʼelin liqimsan. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
the Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Sabni sun garuu gara isa isaan dhaʼe sanaatti hin deebine yookaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hin barbaaddanne.
Yet the people have not turned to him who smote them, nor have they sought Jehovah of hosts.
14 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼel irraa mataa fi eegee kuta; damee meexxiitii fi shambaqqoo guyyuma tokkoon balleessa;
Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
15 maanguddoonnii fi kabajamoonni mataa dha; raajonni soba barsiisan immoo eegee dha.
The elder and the honorable man, he is the head. And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 Namoonni saba kana qajeelchan isaan dogoggorsu; warri isaaniin qajeelfamanis karaa irraa badu.
For those who lead this people cause them to err, and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Kanaafuu Gooftaan dargaggootatti hin gammadu yookaan ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaatiif hin naʼu; namni hundinuu kan Waaqa hin sodaannee fi hamaadhaatii; afaan hundinuus hamaa dubbata. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows. For everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 Hamminni dhugumaan akka ibiddaa bobaʼa; inni sokorruu fi qoraattii illee gubee balleessa, bosona gobbuus ni qabata; akkuma aara ol baʼuuttis ol baʼa.
For wickedness burns as the fire. It devours the briers and thorns. Yea, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 Dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuutiin lafti ni gubatti; namoonnis qoraan ibiddaa taʼu; namni kam iyyuu obboleessa isaa oolchuu hin dandaʼu.
Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up, and the people are as the fuel of fire; no man spares his brother.
20 Karaa mirgaatiin ni butatu; garuu beela hin baʼan; karaa bitaatiin ni nyaatu; garuu hin quufan. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii foon aantee isaa nyaata;
And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry. And he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied. They shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm-
21 Minaaseen Efreemin nyaata; Efreemis Minaasee nyaata; isaan tokkummaadhaan Yihuudaatti garagalu. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh, and together they shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
