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.
Alas for me! for I am become as gatherings of summer fruit, as gleaning-grapes in harvest, there is no cluster to eat, the first ripe fruit, my soul, craved.
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.
Perished is the man of lovingkindness out of the earth, and, upright among men, is there none, —they all, for bloodshed, lie in wait. Every man—for his brother, do they hunt as for one devoted to destruction.
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.
Of wickedness with both hands to make sure, the ruler, doth make demand—and the judge—for a recompense, —and, as for the great man, he, is putting into words the desire of his soul, So have they woven the net!
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 sharp briar, and, the most upright, worse than a thorn hedge, The day of thy watchmen—of thy visitation, hath come, Now, shall be their confusion!
5 Ollaa hin amanatin; michuus hin abdatin. Ishee hammattee ciiftu biratti iyyuu arraba kee eeggadhu.
Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, —from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth;
6 Ilmi abbaa isaa tuffata; intalli haadha isheetti, niitiin ilmaas amaatii isheetti kaati; diinonni namaa miseensotuma mana isaa taʼuutii.
For, the son, treateth as foolish, the father, and, the daughter, riseth up against, her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, —The foes of a man, are the men of his own house.
7 Ani garuu abdiidhaan Waaqayyoon nan eeggadha; fayyisaa koo Waaqa nan eeggadha; Waaqni koo na dhagaʼa.
But, I, for Yahweh, will watch, 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.
Do not rejoice, O mine enemy, against me, Though I fall, I shall rise again! Though I sit in darkness, Yahweh, is 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.
The indignation of Yahweh, will I bear, for I have sinned against him, —until he take up my controversy, then will he do me justice, he will bring me forth to the light, 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.
So shall she who had been mine enemy fear, and shame, shall cover her, who used to say unto me—Where is Yahweh thy God? Mine own eyes, shall look upon her, Now, shall she become one to he trodden down, like the mire of the lanes.
11 Guyyaan itti dallaan kee ijaaramu, guyyaan itti daangaan kee balʼifamu tokko ni dhufa.
On the day for building thy walls, —on that day, far away shall be thy boundary:
12 Gaafas namoonni Asoorii fi magaalaawwan Gibxi, Gibxii hamma Efraaxiisitti iyyuu, galaanaa hamma galaanaatti, tulluudhaa hamma tulluutti jiraatan gara kee ni dhufu.
The very day, that, against thee, shall one come from Assyria, and [from] the cities of Egypt; yea from Egypt, even unto the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain:
13 Sababii jiraattota isheetii fi sababii waan isaan hojjetaniitiif lafti ni onti.
Though the land become a desolation, because of them that dwell therein, —by reason of 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.
Shepherd thou thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, Dwell thou alone, a jungle in the midst of a fruitful field, —Let them feed in Bashan and in Gilead, as in the days of age-past times.
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, will I shew him wonders.
16 Saboonni arganii ni qaanaʼu; humna ofii hunda iyyuu ni dhabu. Isaan afaan isaanii qabatu; gurri isaaniis ni duuda.
Nations, shall see, that they may turn pale at all their valour, —they shall lay hand on mouth, their ears, shall be silent:
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 the serpent, Like the crawlers of the earth, shall they come quaking out of their fastnesses, —Towards Yahweh our God, shall they pay adoration, and shall fear 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 unto thee, taking away the iniquity—and passing over the transgression—of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!
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 subdue our iniquities, —Thou wilt cast—into the depths of the sea—all their sins.
20 Ati akkuma bara durii abbootii keenyaaf kakatte sana Yaaqoobiif amanamaa taata; Abrahaamittis jaalala ni argisiifta.
Thou wilt grant—the faithfulness to Jacob, the lovingkindness to Abraham, —which thou didst swear to our fathers, from the days of ancient time.
