Faaruu 4
1 Warqeen akkamitti boorrajjaaʼe? Warqeen qulqulluunis akkamitti geeddarame! Dhagaawwan iddoo qulqulluu fiixee daandiiwwan hundaa irratti bibittinnaaʼaniiru.
How is the gold become dim, Changed the best — the pure gold? Poured out are stones of the sanctuary 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 have they 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 is 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.
Cleaved hath the tongue of a suckling unto his palate with thirst, Infants asked bread, a dealer out they have none.
5 Warri dur cidha nyaachaa turan, rakkatanii daandii irra jiru. Warri dur uffata diimaa dhiilgee uffachaa turan harʼa tuullaa dikee hammatu.
Those eating of dainties 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.
Darker than blackness hath been their visage, They have not been known in out-places, Cleaved hath their skin unto their bone, It hath withered — it hath 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.
Completed hath Jehovah His fury, He hath poured out the fierceness of His anger, And he kindleth a fire in Zion, And it devoureth her foundations.
12 Akka diinonni yookaan amajaajonni karrawwan Yerusaalem seenuu dandaʼan, mootonni biyya lafaa yookaan sabni addunyaa tokko iyyuu hin amanne.
Believe not did the kings of earth, And any of the inhabitants of the world, That come would an adversary and enemy 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 polluted 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, touch not,' For they fled — yea, 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 Jehovah hath divided them, He doth not add to behold them, The face of priests they have not lifted up, Elders they have not favoured.
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 watch-tower we have watched for a nation [that] saveth not.
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 hath been our end, fulfilled our days, For come hath our end.
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 Jehovah, Hath been captured in their pits, of whom we said: 'In his shadow we do live among nations.'
21 Yaa Intala Edoom kan biyya Uuzi keessa jiraattu ati ililchi, gammadis. Garuu xoofoon sun siifis ni kennama; atis machooftee qullaa kee hafta.
Joy and rejoice, O daughter of Edom, Dwelling in the land of Uz, Even unto thee pass over doth a cup, Thou art drunk, and makest thyself 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] thy iniquity, daughter of Zion, He doth not add to remove thee, He hath inspected thy iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He hath removed [thee] because of thy sins!
