Yooʼeel 2
1 Xiyoon keessatti malakata afuufaa; gaara koo qulqulluu irratti sagalee akeekkachiisaa dhageessisaa. Guyyaan Waaqayyoo dhufaa jiraatii; warri lafa irra jiraatan hundi haa hollatan. Guyyaan sun dhiʼaateera;
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of YHWH cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2 guyyaan dukkanaatii fi dimimmisaa, guyyaan duumessaatii fi dukkana hamaa ni dhufa. Sabni guddaa fi jabaan tokko akkuma ifa ganama tulluuwwan irratti baʼuutti ni dhufa; wanni akkasii takkumaa bara durii keessa taʼee hin beeku yookaan dhaloota dhufuuf jiru keessatti illee hin taʼu.
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 Fuula isaanii duraa ibiddi ni barbadeessa; dugda isaanii duubaan immoo arraba ibiddaatu bobaʼa. Fuula isaanii duraan lafti iddoo biqiltuu Eeden fakkaata; dugda isaanii duubaan immoo lafti akkuma gammoojjii onee ti; wanni tokko iyyuu isaan duraa hin miliqu.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 Isaan bifa fardeenii qabu; akkuma fardeen lolaas ni gulufu.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Isaan sagalee akka gaarii waraanaatiin fiixee tulluu irra utaalu; akkuma ibidda yeroo qarmii gubutti xaaxaʼuu, akkuma waraana jabaa lolaaf baʼe tokkoo ti.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Saboonni jara arginii dhiphatu; fuulli nama hundaas ni gurraachaʼa.
Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7 Isaan akkuma namoota jajjaboo fiigu; akkuma loltootaa dallaa yaabbatanii seenu. Hundi isaanii tarree galanii deemu; isaan keessaa tokko iyyuu daandii isaa irraa hin jalʼatu.
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Isaan wal hin dhiiban; hundi isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti deemu. Utuu toora isaanii hin dhiisin ittisa cabsanii seenu.
Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 Isaan magaalaa keessa asii fi achi fiigu; dallaa irra fiigu. Isaan mana yaabbatu; akkuma hattuus foddaadhaan ol seenu.
They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 Fuula isaanii duratti lafti ni sochooti; samiin ni raafama; aduu fi jiʼi ni dukkanaaʼu; urjiiwwan deebiʼanii hin ibsan.
The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 Waaqayyo fuula loltoota isaa duratti sagalee dhageessisa; loltoonni isaa akka malee baayʼee dha; warri ajaja isaa eegan jajjaboo dha. Guyyaan Waaqayyoo guddaa dha; guyyaan sun akka malee nama sodaachisa. Eenyutu dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa?
And YHWH shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of YHWH is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 “Amma iyyuu garaa guutuudhaan, soomaan, booʼichaa fi gaddaan gara kootti deebiʼaa” jedha Waaqayyo.
Therefore also now, saith YHWH, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 Isin utuu wayyaa keessan hin taʼin garaa keessan tarsaasaa. Gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitti deebiʼaa; inni arjaa fi gara laafessaatii; inni dafee hin aaru; jaalalli isaa baayʼee dha; inni badiisa erguu irraa of qusata.
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto YHWH your Elohim: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Maaltu beeka? Tarii inni deebiʼee gaabbee eebba, kennaa midhaaniitii fi kennaa dhugaatii kan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif taʼu isiniif hambisa taʼa.
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto YHWH your Elohim?
15 Xiyoon keessatti malakata afuufaa; sooma qulqulluu labsaa; waldaa qulqulluu waamaa.
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Saba walitti qabaa; waldaa sana qulqulleessaa; maanguddoota walitti fidaa; ijoollee walitti qabaa; daaʼimman harma hodhan illee hin hambisinaa. Misirrichi kutaa isaa keessaa haa baʼu; misirrittiinis diinqa isheetii haa baatu.
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Luboonni fuula Waaqayyoo dura tajaajilan gardaafoo fi iddoo aarsaa gidduutti haa booʼan. Isaan akkana haa jedhan; “Yaa Waaqayyo saba kee baraari. Handhuuraa kee waan qoosaa, saboota gidduuttis waan kolfaa hin godhin. Isaan maaliif namoota gidduutti, ‘Waaqni isaanii eessa jira?’ jedhu?”
Let the priests, the ministers of YHWH, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O YHWH, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their Elohim?
18 Waaqayyo biyya isaatiif ni hinaafa; saba isaatiifis garaa laafa.
Then will YHWH be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee deebii kennaaf: “Ani midhaan, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitii ejersaa kan isin quubsu isiniif nan erga; ani lammata saboota gidduutti waan qoosaa isin hin godhu.
Yea, YHWH will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 “Ani loltoota kaabaa isin duraa balleessee gara lafa gogaa fi duwwaatti isaan ariʼa; loltoonni fuula duraan yaaʼan galaana baʼa biiftuu, kanneen dugda duubaan yaaʼan immoo galaana gama lixa biiftuu seenu. Reeffi isaanii ni xiraaʼa; xiraan isaaniis ol baʼa.” Dhugumaan inni waan guddaa hojjeteera!
But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up because he hath done great things.
21 Yaa biyya Yihuudaa, hin sodaatin; gammadiitii ililchi. Waaqayyo dhugumaan waan guddaa hojjeteera!
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for YHWH will do great things.
22 Yaa bineensota bosonaa, isinis hin sodaatinaa; dirreen dheedaa gabbachaa jiraatii. Mukkeen ija naqachaa, harbuu fi wayiniinis ija kennaa jiru.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Yaa uummata Xiyoon gammadi; Waaqayyo Waaqa keetti gammadi; inni qajeelummaadhaan rooba arfaasaa siif kenneeraatii. Inni akkuma durii bokkaa baayʼee, rooba arfaasaa fi kan birraa siif erga.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in YHWH your Elohim: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 Oobdiin midhaaniin guutama; boolli itti wayinii cuunfanis daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiidhaan guutamanii dhangalaasu.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 “Ani waan bara hawwaannisni nyaate, waan hawwaannisni gurguddaa fi xixinnaan nyaate, waan hawwaannisni kaanii fi tuunni hawwaannisaa jechuunis loltoonni koo jajjaboon ani gidduu keessanitti erge sun nyaatan iddoo isiniif nan buusa.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 Isin waan hamma quuftanitti nyaattan baayʼee ni qabaattu; maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii kan waan dinqii isiniif hojjete sanaa ni galateeffattu; uummanni koo lammata hin qaaneffamu.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of YHWH your Elohim, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 Ergasii isin akka ani Israaʼel keessa jiru akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan taʼe, akka ana malee Waaqni biraa hin jirre ni beektu; uummanni koo lammata hin qaaneffamu.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am YHWH your Elohim, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 “Anis kana booddee, Hafuura koo nama hunda irratti nan dhangalaasa. Ilmaanii fi intallan keessan raajii dubbatu; jaarsoliin keessan abjuu abjootu; dargaggoonni keessan mulʼata argu.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 Bara sana keessa, garboota koo warra dhiiraa fi dubartii irratti illee Hafuura koo nan dhangalaasa.
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 Ani ol samii irratti dinqii, gad lafa irrattis dhiiga, ibiddaa fi hurrii aaraa nan argisiisa.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 Utuu guyyaan Waaqayyoo inni guddichii fi sodaachisaan sun hin dhufin dura, aduun dukkanatti geeddaramti; jiʼi immoo dhiigatti geeddarama.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of YHWH come.
32 Namni maqaa Waaqayyoo waammatu hundinuu ni fayya; akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatettis Tulluu Xiyoon irraa fi Yerusaalem keessa, furamatu jiraata; hambaa gidduuttis warri Waaqayyo isaan waame ni argamu.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of YHWH shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as YHWH hath said, and in the remnant whom YHWH shall call.
