Mulʼata 18
1 Ergasiis utuu ergamaan biraa samii irraa gad buʼuu nan arge. Innis taayitaa guddaa qaba ture; ulfina isaatiinis lafti ni ifte.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 Innis akkana jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan iyye: “‘Kufteerti! Baabilon guddittiin kufteerti!’ Lafa jireenya hafuurota hamoo, lafa qubata hafuurota xuraaʼoo hundaa, iddoo jireenya simbirroota xuraaʼoo, iddoo jireenya bineensota xuraaʼoo fi jibbisiisoo hundaa taateerti.
He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
3 Saboonni hundinuus, daadhii wayinii dheekkamsa sagaagala ishee dhuganiiruutii. Mootonni lafaas ishee wajjin sagaagalaniiru; daldaltoonni addunyaas qananii ishee guddaa sanaan sooromaniiru.”
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
4 Sagalee biraas samii irraa nan dhagaʼe; innis akkana jedha: “‘Yaa saba ko, isin akka cubbuu ishee keessatti hin hirmaanneef, balaa ishee irra gaʼus akka hin qoodanneef, kottaa ishee keessaa baʼaa;’
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 cubbuun ishee hamma samiitti ol tuulameeraatii; Waaqnis yakka ishee yaadateera.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Akkuma isheen kennitetti isinis isheef kennaa; akkuma hojii isheettis dachaa lama godhaatii isheef deebisaa. Xoofoo isheen itti bulbultettis dachaa lama godhaatii isheef bulbulaa.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Hammuma isheen ulfina ofii kennitee qananii guddaadhaan jiraatte sana, qixxeedhuma isaa dhiphinaa fi gadda isheef kennaa. Isheenis garaa ishee keessatti, ‘Ani akka mootittii tokkootti nan taaʼa; ani haadha hiyyeessaa miti; gonkumaas hin gaddu’ jettee of jajji.
However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
8 Kanaafuu dhaʼichi garaa garaa jechuunis, duuti, gaddii fi beelli guyyuma tokkotti ishee irra ni gaʼa. Waaqni Gooftaan isheetti murteessu sun waan jabaa taʼeef, isheen ibiddaan ni gubamti.
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 “Mootonni lafaa warri ishee wajjin sagaagalanii fi warri qananii guddaadhaan ishee wajjin jiraatan yommuu aara gubamuu ishee arganitti isheef ni booʼu; ni wawwaatus.
The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 Isaanis dhiphina ishee waan sodaataniif fagoo dhaabatanii, “‘Wayyoo! Wayyoo! Yaa magaalaa guddittii, yaa Baabilon magaalattii jabduu! Badiin kee saʼaatuma tokko keessatti dhufeeraatii!’ jedhu.
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
11 “Daldaltoonni lafaas siʼachi waan namni tokko iyyuu miʼa daldala isaanii hin binneef isheef ni booʼu; ni wawwaatus.
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
12 Miʼi daldala isaaniis warqee, meetii, dhagaawwan gatii guddaatii fi lula, uffata haphii quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, uffata dhiilgee, uffata haarriitii fi bildiimaa, muka urgaaʼaa gosa hundaa, miʼa ilka arbaa irraa hojjetame hunda, miʼa muka gatii guddaa irraa hojjetame hunda, miʼa naasii irraa hojjetame hunda, miʼa sibiilaatii fi miʼa dhagaa adii irraa hojjetame hundaa fi
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 qarafaa fi urgooftuu, ixaana, qumbii, haphee urgaaʼaa, daadhii wayiniitii fi zayitii ejersaa, daakuu bullaaʼaa fi qamadii, loowwanii fi hoolota, fardeenii fi gaariiwwan, akkasumas garbootaa fi lubbuuwwan namootaa faʼa.
and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 “Isaanis, ‘Iji waan ati hawwite sanaa si duraa badeera. Badhaadhummaa fi bareedinni kee hundinuu sirraa badeera; gonkumaas deebitee hin argattu’ isheedhaan jedhu.
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
15 Daldaltoonni miʼa kanneen gurguratanii ishee irraa badhaadhummaa argatanis dhiphina ishee sodaatanii fagoo dhaabatu. Isaanis booʼaa, wawwaachaas,
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 sagalee guddaadhaan akkana jedhu: “‘Wayyoo! Wayyoo, yaa magaalaa guddittii; yaa ishee uffata haphii quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, uffata dhiilgee fi uffata bildiimaa uffatte, yaa ishee warqeedhaan, dhagaa gatii guddaatii fi lulaan miidhagfamte!
saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 Badhaadhummaan guddaan akkanaa saʼaatuma tokko keessatti barbadaaʼe!’ “Ajajjuun doonii hundinuu, warri dooniin imala deeman hundinuu, warri doonii irra hojjetanii fi warri galaana irra hojjechuun jiraatan hundinuu fagaatanii ni dhaabatu.
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 Isaan yommuu aara gubamuu ishee arganitti, ‘Magaalaan akka magaalaa guddittii kanaa jiraattee beektii?’ jedhanii iyyu.
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
19 Isaanis awwaara mataatti firfirfatanii booʼaa, wawwaachaas akkana jedhanii iyyu: “‘Wayyoo! Wayyoo, yaa magaalaa guddittii, yaa ishee warri galaana irraa dooniiwwan qaban hundinuu qabeenya isheetiin sooroman! Ishee saʼaatuma tokko keessatti barbadoofte!’
They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
20 “Yaa samii kufaatii isheetti gammadi! Isin sabni Waaqaa gammadaa! Ergamoonnii fi raajonni gammadaa! Waaqni ishee irratti isiniif mureeraatii.”
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
21 Ergamaan jabaan tokkos dhagaa hamma dhagaa daakuu gaʼu tokko fuudhee galaanatti gad darbatee akkana jedhe: “Baabilon magaalaa guddittiin, akkasuma furguggifamtee ni darbatamti; gonkumaas deebitee hin argamtu.
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 Sagaleen warra baganaa fi muuziiqaa taphatanii, sagaleen warra ulullee fi malakata afuufanii siʼachi si keessatti hin dhagaʼamu. Ogeessi hojii harkaa tokko iyyuu, siʼachi si keessatti hin argamu. Sagaleen dhagaa daakuus, siʼachi si keessatti hin dhagaʼamu.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 Ifni ibsaa, lammata si keessatti hin ifu. Sagaleen misirrichaatii fi misirrittii, lammata si keessatti hin dhagaʼamu. Daldaltoonni kee namoota gurguddaa addunyaa turan. Falfala keetiin sabni hundinuu gowwoomfameera.
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 Dhiigni raajotaatii fi dhiigni qulqullootaa, dhiigni warra lafa irratti gorraʼaman hundumaas ishee keessatti argame.”
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
