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 the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of YHWH is coming, for it is near.
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 gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As blackness spreading on the mountains a great and powerful people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even after 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 devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped 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 do 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 the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a mighty people drawn up for battle.
6 Saboonni jara arginii dhiphatu; fuulli nama hundaas ni gurraachaʼa.
At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.
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 run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they do not swerve off course.
8 Isaan wal hin dhiiban; hundi isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti deemu. Utuu toora isaanii hin dhiisin ittisa cabsanii seenu.
Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and do not break ranks.
9 Isaan magaalaa keessa asii fi achi fiigu; dallaa irra fiigu. Isaan mana yaabbatu; akkuma hattuus foddaadhaan ol seenu.
They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.
10 Fuula isaanii duratti lafti ni sochooti; samiin ni raafama; aduu fi jiʼi ni dukkanaaʼu; urjiiwwan deebiʼanii hin ibsan.
The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars 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?
YHWH thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of YHWH is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?
12 “Amma iyyuu garaa guutuudhaan, soomaan, booʼichaa fi gaddaan gara kootti deebiʼaa” jedha Waaqayyo.
"Yet even now," says YHWH, "turn 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.
Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to YHWH, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
14 Maaltu beeka? Tarii inni deebiʼee gaabbee eebba, kennaa midhaaniitii fi kennaa dhugaatii kan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif taʼu isiniif hambisa taʼa.
Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to YHWH, your God.
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 assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, and the bride out of her chamber.
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 your people, YHWH, and do not give your heritage to mockery, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"
18 Waaqayyo biyya isaatiif ni hinaafa; saba isaatiifis garaa laafa.
Then YHWH was jealous for his land, And had pity on 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.
YHWH answered his people, "Look, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will eat and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
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 the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise." Surely he has done great things.
21 Yaa biyya Yihuudaa, hin sodaatin; gammadiitii ililchi. Waaqayyo dhugumaan waan guddaa hojjeteera!
Land, do not be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for YHWH has done great things.
22 Yaa bineensota bosonaa, isinis hin sodaatinaa; dirreen dheedaa gabbachaa jiraatii. Mukkeen ija naqachaa, harbuu fi wayiniinis ija kennaa jiru.
Do not be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine 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, you people of Zion, and rejoice in YHWH, your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
24 Oobdiin midhaaniin guutama; boolli itti wayinii cuunfanis daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiidhaan guutamanii dhangalaasu.
The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new 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.
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, 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.
You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of YHWH, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never be put to shame.
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.
You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am YHWH, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never be put to shame.
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 on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.
29 Bara sana keessa, garboota koo warra dhiiraa fi dubartii irratti illee Hafuura koo nan dhangalaasa.
And also on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 Ani ol samii irratti dinqii, gad lafa irrattis dhiiga, ibiddaa fi hurrii aaraa nan argisiisa.
And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, 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 will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of YHWH comes.
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 will happen that whoever will call on the name of YHWH shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as YHWH has said, and among the remnant, those whom YHWH calls.
