Faaruu 1
1 Magaalaan dur namaan guutamtee turte sun akkamitti ontee hafte! Isheen yeroo tokko saboota gidduutti guddoo turte akkamitti akka haadha hiyyeessaa taate! Isheen kutaalee biyyaa gidduutti mootii turte sun amma garbittii taateerti.
ALEPH. O how a city once filled with people now sits alone! The Governess of the Gentiles has become like a widow. The Prince of the provinces has been placed under tribute.
2 Isheen halkan halkan hiqqifattee boossi; maddii ishee irra imimmaantu yaaʼa. Michoota ishee hunda keessaa kan ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Michoonni ishee hundinuu ishee gananiiru; isaan diinota ishee taʼaniiru.
BETH. Weeping, she has wept through the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. There is no one to be a comfort to her and to all her beloved. All her friends have spurned her, and they have become her enemies.
3 Rakkinaa fi cunqurfama guddaa booddee Yihuudaan boojiʼamtee fudhatamteerti. Isheen saboota gidduu jiraatti, lafa itti boqottu illee hin arganne. Warri ishee ariʼan hundi rakkina ishee keessatti ishee qabatan.
GHIMEL. Judah has migrated because of affliction and great servitude. She has lived among the nations and not found rest. All of her persecutors have apprehended her, amid torments.
4 Daandiiwwan Xiyoon ni booʼu; namni ayyaana ishee kan murteeffame kabajuuf dhufu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii. Karrawwan ishee hundi onanii jiru; luboonni ishee ni aadu; shamarran ishee ni gaddu, isheenis dhiphina guddaa keessa jirti.
DALETH. The pathways of Zion mourn, because there are none who approach for the solemnity. All her gates are destroyed. Her priests groan. Her virgins are filthy. And she is overwhelmed with bitterness.
5 Amajaajonni ishee gooftota ishee taʼaniiru; diinota isheetti toleera. Sababii cubbuu ishee baayʼee sanaatiif Waaqayyo gadda itti fideera. Ijoolleen ishee fudhatamanii deemaniiru; fuula amajaajota ishee duratti boojiʼamaniiru.
HE. Her enemies have been made her leaders; her adversaries have been enriched. For the Lord has spoken against her, because of the multitude of her iniquities. Her little ones have been led into captivity before the face of the tribulator.
6 Intala Xiyoon irraa miidhaginni hundi fudhatameera. Ilmaan mootota ishee akkuma gadamsa lafa dheedaa dhabee taʼaniiru; isaan dadhabbiidhaan fuula warra isaan ariʼanii dura baqatan.
VAU. And all her elegance has departed, from the daughter of Zion. Her leaders have become like rams that cannot find pasture, and they have gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer.
7 Baroota rakkinaa fi asii achi jooruu ishee keessa Yerusaalem qabeenya bara durii kan ishee ture hunda ni yaadatti. Yeroo namoonni ishee harka diinaa seenanitti namni ishee gargaaru tokko iyyuu hin turre. Diinonni ishee ishee ilaalanii badiisa isheetti kolfan.
ZAIN. Jerusalem has remembered the days of her affliction and the betrayal of all her desirable ones, whom she held from the days of antiquity, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and there was no one to be a helper. The enemies have looked upon her and mocked her Sabbaths.
8 Yerusaalem akka malee cubbuu hojjette; akkasiinis xuroofte. Warri ulfina kennaniifii turan hundi ishee tuffatan; isaan qullaatti hafuu ishee arganiiruutii; isheen mataan ishee guungumtee of irra garagalti.
HETH. Jerusalem has sinned a grievous sinz. Because of this, she has become unstable. All who glorified her have spurned her, because they have looked upon her disgrace. Then she groaned and turned away again.
9 Xuraaʼummaan ishee wandaboo isheetti maxxane; isheen waan gara duraatti itti dhufu hin yaadne; kufaatiin ishee nama rifachiisa; kan ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru ture. “Yaa Waaqayyo rakkina koo ilaali; diinni moʼateeraatii!”
TETH. Her filth is on her feet, and her end has not been remembered. She has been vehemently put down, having no consolation. O Lord, look upon my affliction, for the adversary has been lifted up.
10 Qabeenya ishee hundatti diinni harka isaa diriirseera; isheen Namoota Ormaa warra ati akka isaan waldaa kee hin seenne dhowwite sana utuu isaan iddoo ishee qulqulluu seenanuu argite.
JOD. The enemy has sent his hand against all her desirable ones. For she has watched the Gentiles enter her sanctuary, even though you instructed that they should not enter into your church.
11 Namoonni ishee hundinuu utuma aadanuu buddeena barbaaddatu; isaan lubbuu ofii isaanii turfachuuf jecha qabeenya isaanii nyaataan geeddarratu. “Yaa Waaqayyo na ilaali, na yaadadhus; ani tuffatameeraatii.”
CAPH. All her people are groaning and seeking bread. They have given up whatever was precious in exchange for food, so as to remain alive. See, O Lord, and consider, for I have become vile.
12 “Warra karaa irra dabartan hundi, kun isiniif homaa mitii? Naannoo keessan ilaalaatii argaa. Rakkinni akka rakkina koo kan ani ittiin rakkadhe, kan Waaqayyo guyyaa dheekkamsa isaatti natti fide sanaa jiru tokko iyyuu jiraa?
LAMED. O all you who pass by the way, attend, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow. For he has made me a vintage, just as the Lord has spoken in the day of his furious anger.
13 “Inni ol gubbaadhaa ibidda erge; ibidda sana lafee koo keessa seensisa. Inni miilla kootiif kiyyoo diriirsee dugda duubatti na deebise; inni kophaatti na hambisee guyyaa guutuu na dadhabsiise.
MEM. From on high, he has sent fire into my bones, and he has educated me. He has spread a net for my feet; he has turned me back. He has placed me in desolation, consumed by grief, all day long.
14 “Cubbuun koo waanjootti hidhameera; isaan harka isaatiin walitti foʼaman. Isaan morma kootti rarraafaman; gooftaan humna koo dadhabsiise. Inni warra ani of irraa deebisuu hin dandeenyetti dabarsee na kenneera.
NUN. Vigilant is the yoke of my iniquities. They have been folded together in his hand and imposed on my neck. My virtue has been weakened. The Lord has given me into a hand, out of which I am not able to rise.
15 “Gooftaan gootota na keessatti argaman hunda gateera; inni dargaggoota koo caccabsuuf yaaʼii waammate. Gooftaan iddoo cuunfaa wayinii isaatti Durba Qulqullittii Intala Yihuudaa dhidhiiteera.
SAMECH. The Lord has taken away all of my great ones from my midst. He has called forth time against me, so as to crush my elect ones. The Lord has trampled the winepress, which was for the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 “Wanni ani booʼee iji koo imimmaaniin guutameef kanaa dha. Namni na jajjabeessuuf dhiʼoo jiru tokko iyyuu hin jiru; kan hafuura koo bayyanachiisus hin jiru. Sababii diinni humna argateef ijoolleen koo harka duwwaa hafan.”
AIN. For this I weep, and my eyes bring forth water. For the consoler has been far away from me, changing my soul. My sons have become lost, because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Xiyoon harka ishee balʼifatteerti; garuu namni ishee jajjabeessu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Akka olloonni isaa amajaajota isaa taʼaniif Waaqayyo Yaaqoobitti ajajeera; Yerusaalemis gidduu isaaniitti waan xuraaʼaa taateerti.
PHE. Zion has reached out her hands; there is no one to console her. The Lord has given orders against Jacob; his enemies are all around him. Jerusalem among them is like a woman made unclean by menstruation.
18 “Waaqayyo qajeelaa dha; taʼus ani ajajawwan isaatti fincileen ture. Yaa saboota, hundi keessan dhagaʼaa; rakkina koos ilaalaa. Dargaggoonnii fi shamarran koo boojiʼamanii fudhatamaniiru.
SADE. The Lord is just, for it is I who has provoked his mouth to wrath. I beg all people to listen and to see my sorrow. My virgins and my youths have gone into captivity.
19 “Ani tumsitoota koo nan waammadhe; isaan garuu na ganan. Luboonni koo fi maanguddoonni koo utuu lubbuu isaanii oolfachuuf nyaata barbaadatanuu magaalaa keessatti dhuman.
COPH. I called for my friends, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders have been consumed in the city. For they were seeking their food, so as to revive their life.
20 “Yaa Waaqayyo akka ani dhiphadhe ilaali! Ani keessa kootti dhiphadheera; garaa koo keessatti raafameera; ani nama akka malee fincilun tureetii. Alaa goraadeen nama qala; mana keessa immoo duʼa qofatu jira.
RES. See, O Lord, that I am in tribulation. My bowels have been disturbed, my heart has been subverted within me, for I am filled with bitterness. Outside, the sword puts to death, and at home there is a similar death.
21 “Namoonni akka ani aadaa jiru dhagaʼaniiru; kan na jajjabeessu garuu hin jiru. Diinonni koo hundinuu rakkina koo dhagaʼaniiru; isaan waan ati gootetti gammadaniiru. Akka isaan akkuma koo taʼaniif maaloo ati guyyaa jette sana fidi.
SIN. They have heard that I groan and that there is no one to console me. All my enemies have heard of my misfortune; they have rejoiced that you caused it. You have brought in a day of consolation, and so they shall become like me.
22 “Hamminni isaanii hundinuu fuula kee duratti haa dhiʼaatu; waanuma sababii cubbuu koo hundaatiif natti fidde sana isaanitti illee fidi! Aaduun koo baayʼateeraatii; onneen koos dadhabdeerti.”
THAU. Let all their evil enter before you. And make vintage of them, just as you made vintage of me, because of all my iniquities. For my sighs are many, and my heart is grieving.
