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 a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill, Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day of Jehovah, 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 thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like it there hath not been from of old, And after it there is not again — till the years of generation and generation.
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.
Before it consumed hath fire, And after it burn doth a flame, As the garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness — a desolation! And also an escape there hath not been to it,
4 Isaan bifa fardeenii qabu; akkuma fardeen lolaas ni gulufu.
As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so 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.
As the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains they skip, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.
6 Saboonni jara arginii dhiphatu; fuulli nama hundaas ni gurraachaʼa.
From its face pained are peoples, All faces have gathered paleness.
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.
As mighty ones they run, As men of war they go up a wall, And each in his own ways they do go, And they embarrass not their paths.
8 Isaan wal hin dhiiban; hundi isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti deemu. Utuu toora isaanii hin dhiisin ittisa cabsanii seenu.
And each his brother they press not, Each in his way they go on, If by the missile they fall, they are not cut off.
9 Isaan magaalaa keessa asii fi achi fiigu; dallaa irra fiigu. Isaan mana yaabbatu; akkuma hattuus foddaadhaan ol seenu.
In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief.
10 Fuula isaanii duratti lafti ni sochooti; samiin ni raafama; aduu fi jiʼi ni dukkanaaʼu; urjiiwwan deebiʼanii hin ibsan.
At their face trembled hath the earth, Shaken have the heavens, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up 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 Jehovah hath given forth His voice before His force, For very great [is] His camp, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the day of Jehovah — very fearful, And who doth bear it?
12 “Amma iyyuu garaa guutuudhaan, soomaan, booʼichaa fi gaddaan gara kootti deebiʼaa” jedha Waaqayyo.
And also now — an affirmation of Jehovah, Turn ye back unto Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.
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 back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful [is] He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning 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 — He doth turn back, Yea — He hath repented, And He hath left behind Him a blessing, A present and libation of Jehovah your God?
15 Xiyoon keessatti malakata afuufaa; sooma qulqulluu labsaa; waldaa qulqulluu waamaa.
Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, Sanctify a fast — proclaim a restraint.
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 an assembly, Assemble the aged, Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Go out let a bridegroom from his inner chamber, And a 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?”
Between the porch and the altar weep let the priests, ministrants of Jehovah, And let them say: 'Have pity, O Jehovah, on Thy people, And give not Thy inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where [is] their God?'
18 Waaqayyo biyya isaatiif ni hinaafa; saba isaatiifis garaa laafa.
And let Jehovah be zealous for His land, And have 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.
Let Jehovah answer and say to His people, 'Lo, I am sending to you the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And ye have been satisfied with it, And I make you no more a reproach among 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!
And the northern I put far off from you, And have driven him unto a land dry and desolate, With his face unto the eastern sea, And his rear unto the western sea, And come up hath his stink, And come up doth his stench, For he hath exerted himself to work.
21 Yaa biyya Yihuudaa, hin sodaatin; gammadiitii ililchi. Waaqayyo dhugumaan waan guddaa hojjeteera!
Do not fear, O land! joy and rejoice, For Jehovah hath exerted Himself to work.
22 Yaa bineensota bosonaa, isinis hin sodaatinaa; dirreen dheedaa gabbachaa jiraatii. Mukkeen ija naqachaa, harbuu fi wayiniinis ija kennaa jiru.
Do not fear, O cattle of the field! For sprung forth have pastures of a wilderness, For the tree hath borne its fruit, Fig-tree and vine have given 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.
And ye sons of Zion, joy and rejoice, In Jehovah your God, For He hath given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causeth to come down to you a shower, Sprinkling and gathered — in the beginning.
24 Oobdiin midhaaniin guutama; boolli itti wayinii cuunfanis daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiidhaan guutamanii dhangalaasu.
And full have been the floors [with] pure corn, And overflown have the presses [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.
And I have recompensed to you the years That consume did the locust, the cankerworm, And the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that I did send against 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 have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have praised the name of Jehovah your God, Who hath dealt with you wonderfully, And not ashamed are My people to the age.
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 have known that in the midst of Israel [am] I, And I [am] Jehovah your God, and there is none else, And not ashamed are My people to the age.
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 hath come to pass afterwards, I do pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And prophesied have your sons and your daughters, Your old men do dream dreams, Your young men do see visions.
29 Bara sana keessa, garboota koo warra dhiiraa fi dubartii irratti illee Hafuura koo nan dhangalaasa.
And also on the men-servants, and on the maid-servants, In those days I do pour out My Spirit.
30 Ani ol samii irratti dinqii, gad lafa irrattis dhiiga, ibiddaa fi hurrii aaraa nan argisiisa.
And I have given wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, Blood and fire, and columns of smoke.
31 Utuu guyyaan Waaqayyoo inni guddichii fi sodaachisaan sun hin dhufin dura, aduun dukkanatti geeddaramti; jiʼi immoo dhiigatti geeddarama.
The sun is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
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 hath come to pass, Every one who calleth in the name of Jehovah is delivered, For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As Jehovah hath said, And among the remnants whom Jehovah is calling!
