Faaruu 4
1 Warqeen akkamitti boorrajjaaʼe? Warqeen qulqulluunis akkamitti geeddarame! Dhagaawwan iddoo qulqulluu fiixee daandiiwwan hundaa irratti bibittinnaaʼaniiru.
[ALEPH-BET] How the gold has become dim, Changed the best—the pure gold! Stones of the sanctuary are poured out At the head of all out-places.
2 Ilmaan Xiyoon kanneen akka warqee qulqulluutti ilaalamaa turan sun amma akkamitti akka okkotee supheetti, akka hojii suphee dhooftuutti ilaalamu!
The precious sons of Zion, Who are comparable with fine gold, How they have been reckoned earthen bottles, Work of the hands of a potter.
3 Waangoonni iyyuu ilmaan isaanii hoosisuuf harma isaanii ni kennu; sabni koo garuu akkuma guchii gammoojjii gara jabeessa taʼeera.
Even dragons have drawn out the breast, They have suckled their young ones, The daughter of my people has become cruel, Like the ostriches in a wilderness.
4 Sababii dheebuutiif arrabni daaʼimmanii laagaatti maxxana; ijoolleen buddeena kadhatti: garuu namni isaaniif kennu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
The tongue of a suckling has cleaved to his palate with thirst, Infants asked for bread, they have no dealer [of it] out.
5 Warri dur cidha nyaachaa turan, rakkatanii daandii irra jiru. Warri dur uffata diimaa dhiilgee uffachaa turan harʼa tuullaa dikee hammatu.
Those eating of delicacies have been desolate in out-places, Those supported on scarlet have embraced dunghills.
6 Adabbiin yakka saba koo adabbii yakka Sodoom kan utuu harki nama ishee gargaaruuf hin tuqin tasa badde sanaa caalaa guddaa ture.
And greater is the iniquity of the daughter of my people, Than the sin of Sodom, That was overturned as [in] a moment, And no hands were stayed on her.
7 Ilmaan mootota isaanii cabbii caalaa qulqulluu, aannan caalaa adaadii turan; dhagni isaanii lula diimaa caalaa diimaa, bifti isaanii immoo sanpeer fakkaata ture.
Purer were her Nazarites than snow, Whiter than milk, ruddier of body than rubies, Of sapphire their form.
8 Amma garuu qaqaa caalaa gurraachaʼaniiru; daandii irrattis namni isaan hubatu hin jiru. Gogaan isaanii lafee isaaniitti maxxaneera; akka mukaas gogeera.
Their face has been darker than blackness, They have not been known in out-places, Their skin has cleaved to their bone, It has withered—it has been as wood.
9 Warra beelaan dhumanii mannaa, warra goraadeedhaan ajjeefaman wayya; Isaan waan nyaatamu lafa qotiisaa irraa dhabanii beelaan alatti goggoganii dhumu.
Better have been the pierced of a sword Than the pierced of famine, For these flow away, pierced through, Without the increase of the field.
10 Yeroo sabni koo dhumetti dubartoonni gara laafoon harkuma isaaniitiin akka nyaata isaanii taʼaniif ijoollee ofii affeelan.
The hands of merciful women have boiled their own children, They have been for food to them, In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 Waaqayyo dheekkamsa isaa guutuu gad dhiise; aarii isaa sodaachisaa sanas ni dhangalaase. Xiyoon keessattis ibidda hundeewwan ishee barbadeessu qabsiise.
YHWH has completed His fury, He has poured out the fierceness of His anger, And He kindles a fire in Zion, And it devours her foundations.
12 Akka diinonni yookaan amajaajonni karrawwan Yerusaalem seenuu dandaʼan, mootonni biyya lafaa yookaan sabni addunyaa tokko iyyuu hin amanne.
The kings of earth did not believe, And any of the inhabitants of the world, That an adversary and enemy would come Into the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Garuu wanni kun sababii cubbuu raajota isheetii fi balleessaa luboota ishee kanneen ishee keessatti dhiiga qajeelotaa dhangalaasan sanaatiif taʼe.
Because of the sins of her prophets, The iniquities of her priests, Who are shedding in her midst the blood of the righteous,
14 Isaan akkuma jaamotaa daandii irra gatantaru. Hamma namni tokko iyyuu wayyaa isaanii tuquu hin dandeenyetti akka malee dhiigaan xuraaʼaniiru.
They have wandered naked in out-places, They have been defiled with blood, Without [any] being able to touch their clothing,
15 Namoonnis, “Isin xuraaʼoo dha! Asii badaa! Badaa! Badaa! Nu hin tuqinaa!” jedhanii isaanitti iyyu. Yommuu baqatanii asii fi achi jooranittis saboonni Namoota Ormaa gidduu jiran, “Isaan siʼachi as jiraachuu hin dandaʼan” jedhu.
“Turn aside—unclean,” they called to them, “Turn aside, turn aside, do not touch,” For they fled—indeed, they have wandered, They have said among nations: “They do not add to sojourn.”
16 Waaqayyo mataa isaatu isaan bittinneesse; inni siʼachi isaan hin eegu. Luboonni hin kabajamne; maanguddoonni surraa hin arganne.
The face of YHWH has divided them, He does not add to behold them, They have not lifted up the face of priests, They have not favored [the] old and elderly.
17 Akkasumaan gargaarsa eeggachuudhaan iji keenya dadhabe; gamoo keenya irra teenyee saba nu baasuu hin dandeenye irraa gargaarsa eegganne.
While we exist—consumed are our eyes for our vain help, In our watchtower we have watched for a nation [that] does not save.
18 Akka nu daandii keenya irra deemuu hin dandeenyeef namoonni tarkaanfii keenya eegu. Dhumni keenya dhiʼaateera; guyyoonni keenyas gabaabataniiru; badiisni keenya dhufeeraatii.
They have hunted our steps from going in our broad-places, Near has been our end, fulfilled our days, For our end has come.
19 Warri nu ariʼan risaa samii caalaa saffisu; isaan tulluuwwan irraa nu ariʼanii gammoojjii keessatti riphanii nu eeggatu.
Swifter have been our pursuers, Than the eagles of the heavens, On the mountains they have burned [after] us, In the wilderness they have laid wait for us.
20 Hafuurri lubbuu keenyaa kan Waaqayyo dibe, kiyyoo isaaniitiin qabame. Nu waan gaaddidduu isaa jala, Namoota Ormaa gidduu jiraannu seenee turre.
The breath of our nostrils—the anointed of YHWH, Has been captured in their pits, of whom we said: “We live among nations in his shadow.”
21 Yaa Intala Edoom kan biyya Uuzi keessa jiraattu ati ililchi, gammadis. Garuu xoofoon sun siifis ni kennama; atis machooftee qullaa kee hafta.
Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, Dwelling in the land of Uz, Even to you a cup passes over, You are drunk, and make yourself naked.
22 Intala Xiyoon adabamuun kee ni dhuma; inni bara boojiʼamuu keetii hin dheeressu. Garuu yaa Intala Edoom, inni cubbuu kee ni adabe; hammina kees ifatti baasa.
Completed [is] your iniquity, daughter of Zion, He does not add to remove you, He has inspected your iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He has removed [you] because of your sins!
