< Miikiyaas 7 >
1 Anaaf wayyoo! Ani akkuma nama yeroo qarmii bonaa funaananitti wayinii walitti qabu tokkoo taʼeera; hurbuun wayinii kan nyaatamu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; iji harbuu jalqabaa kan ani dharraʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
Woe is me! For I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat. My soul desires the first ripe fig.
2 Namni gaariin lafa irraa badeera; namni qajeelaan tokko iyyuu hin hafne. Namoonni hundinuu dhiiga dhangalaasuuf riphanii eeggatu; tokkoon tokkoon namaa kiyyoodhaan obboleessa isaa eeggata.
The devout man has perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood. They hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Harki lachuu waan hamaa hojjechuu barateera; bulchaan kennaa barbaada; abbaan murtiis mattaʼaa fudhata; namni humna qabu waanuma fedhe dubbata; hundi isaanii walii wajjin malatu.
Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler asks, and the judge asks for a bribe. And the great man, he utters the evil desire of his soul. Thus they weave it together.
4 Kan isaan hunda caalaa gaarii taʼe akka sokorruu ti; inni akka malee qajeelaan immoo dallaa qoraattii caala. Guyyaan eegdota keetii, guyyaan itti Waaqni si ilaalu dhufeera. Amma yeroo itti isaan joonjaʼanii dha.
The best of them is as a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, has come. Now shall be their perplexity.
5 Ollaa hin amanatin; michuus hin abdatin. Ishee hammattee ciiftu biratti iyyuu arraba kee eeggadhu.
Trust ye not in a neighbor. Put ye not confidence in a friend. Keep the doors of thy mouth from her who lies in thy bosom.
6 Ilmi abbaa isaa tuffata; intalli haadha isheetti, niitiin ilmaas amaatii isheetti kaati; diinonni namaa miseensotuma mana isaa taʼuutii.
For the son dishonors the father. The daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Ani garuu abdiidhaan Waaqayyoon nan eeggadha; fayyisaa koo Waaqa nan eeggadha; Waaqni koo na dhagaʼa.
But as for me, I will look to Jehovah. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
8 Yaa diina koo natti hin gammadin! Ani yoon kufe iyyuu nan kaʼa. Ani dukkana keessa taaʼu iyyuu Waaqayyo ifa naaf taʼa.
Rejoice not against me, O my enemy. When I fall, I shall arise. When I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be a light to me.
9 Ani sababiin cubbuu isatti hojjedheef, hamma inni dubbii koo ilaalee naaf murteessutti dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo nan baadha. Inni ifatti na baasa; anis qajeelummaa isaa nan arga.
I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Ergasii diinni koo isheen, “Waaqayyo Waaqni kee eessa jira?” naan jette sun waan kana argitee qaaniin haguugamti. Iji koo kufaatii ishee ni arga; Isheen amma iyyuu miilla jalatti akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti dhidhiitamti.
Then my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is Jehovah thy God? My eyes shall see my desire upon her. Now she shall be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Guyyaan itti dallaan kee ijaaramu, guyyaan itti daangaan kee balʼifamu tokko ni dhufa.
A day for building thy walls! In that day the decree shall be far removed.
12 Gaafas namoonni Asoorii fi magaalaawwan Gibxi, Gibxii hamma Efraaxiisitti iyyuu, galaanaa hamma galaanaatti, tulluudhaa hamma tulluutti jiraatan gara kee ni dhufu.
In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
13 Sababii jiraattota isheetii fi sababii waan isaan hojjetaniitiif lafti ni onti.
Yet the land shall be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Uummata kee, bushaayee dhaala keetii kanneen ofumaan bosona keessa, lafa dheedaa gabbataa irra jiraatan ulee keetiin tikfadhu. Isaan akkuma bara duriitti Baashaanii fi Giliʼaad keessa haa bobbaʼan.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell solitarily in the forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 “Ani akkuma yeroo ati Gibxii baatee dhufte sanaa dinqii koo isaan nan argisiisa.”
As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt I will show marvelous things to them.
16 Saboonni arganii ni qaanaʼu; humna ofii hunda iyyuu ni dhabu. Isaan afaan isaanii qabatu; gurri isaaniis ni duuda.
The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might. They shall lay their hand upon their mouth. Their ears shall be deaf.
17 Isaan akkuma bofaa, akkuma uumamawwan lafa irra looʼanii biyyoo arraabu. Isaan hollachaa holqa keessaa baʼanii dhufu; Isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya sodaachuudhaan deebiʼanii fuula kee dura sodaadhaan dhaabatu.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places. They shall come with fear to Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
18 Waaqni akka keetii kan cubbuu namaa bira darbee balleessaa hambaa dhaala isaa dhiisuuf eenyu? Ati araara gochuutti gammadda malee bara baraan hin dheekkamtu.
Who is a God like to thee, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
19 Ati deebitee garaa nuu laafta; cubbuu keenya miilla kee jalatti dhidhiittee balleessaa keenya hundas tuujuba galaanaatti gad darbatta.
He will again have compassion upon us. He will tread our iniquities under foot, and thou will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Ati akkuma bara durii abbootii keenyaaf kakatte sana Yaaqoobiif amanamaa taata; Abrahaamittis jaalala ni argisiifta.
Thou will perform the truth to Jacob, and the loving kindness to Abraham, which thou have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
