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 from Heaven, armed with great power. The earth shone with his splendor,
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.
and with a mighty voice he cried out, saying, "Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and has become a home for demons and a stronghold for every kind of foul spirit and for every kind of foul and hateful 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 the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through her excessive 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;’
Then I heard another voice from Heaven, which said, "Come out of her, My people, that you may not become partakers in her sins, nor receive a share of her plagues.
5 cubbuun ishee hamma samiitti ol tuulameeraatii; Waaqnis yakka ishee yaadateera.
For her sins are piled up to the sky, and God has called to mind her unrighteous deeds.
6 Akkuma isheen kennitetti isinis isheef kennaa; akkuma hojii isheettis dachaa lama godhaatii isheef deebisaa. Xoofoo isheen itti bulbultettis dachaa lama godhaatii isheef bulbulaa.
Give back to her as she has given; repay her in accordance with her doings, twice as much; in the bowl that she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.
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.
She has freely glorified herself and revelled in luxury; equally freely administer torment to her, and woe. For in her heart she boasts, saying, 'I sit enthroned as Queen: no widow am I: I shall never know sorrow.'
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.
"For this reason calamities shall come thick upon her on a single day--death and sorrow and famine--and she shall be burned to the ground. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.
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 have committed fornication with her, and have revelled in luxury, shall weep aloud and lament over her when they see 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.
while they stand afar off because of their terror at her heavy punishment, and say, 'Alas, alas, thou great city, O Babylon, the mighty city! For in one short hour thy doom has come!'
11 “Daldaltoonni lafaas siʼachi waan namni tokko iyyuu miʼa daldala isaanii hin binneef isheef ni booʼu; ni wawwaatus.
And the merchants of the earth weep aloud and lament over her, because now there is no sale for their cargoes--
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
cargoes of gold and silver, of jewels and pearls, of fine linen, purple and silk, and of scarlet stuff; all kinds of rare woods, and all kinds of goods in ivory and in very costly wood, in bronze, steel 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.
Also cinnamon and amomum; odors to burn as incense or for perfume; frankincense, wine, oil; fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep; horses and carriages and slaves; and the lives of men.
14 “Isaanis, ‘Iji waan ati hawwite sanaa si duraa badeera. Badhaadhummaa fi bareedinni kee hundinuu sirraa badeera; gonkumaas deebitee hin argattu’ isheedhaan jedhu.
The dainties that thy soul longed for are gone from thee, and all thine elegance and splendor have perished, and never again shall they be found.
15 Daldaltoonni miʼa kanneen gurguratanii ishee irraa badhaadhummaa argatanis dhiphina ishee sodaatanii fagoo dhaabatu. Isaanis booʼaa, wawwaachaas,
Those who traded in these things, who grew wealthy through her, will stand afar off, struck with terror at her punishment,
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!
weeping aloud and sorrowing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, for this great city, which was brilliantly arrayed in fine linen, and purple and scarlet stuff, and beautified with gold, jewels 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.
because in one short hour all this great wealth has been laid waste!' And every shipmaster and every passenger by sea and the crews and all who ply their trade on the sea,
18 Isaan yommuu aara gubamuu ishee arganitti, ‘Magaalaan akka magaalaa guddittii kanaa jiraattee beektii?’ jedhanii iyyu.
stood afar off, and cried aloud when they saw the smoke of her burning. And they said, 'What city is like this 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!’
And they threw dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping aloud and sorrowing. 'Alas, alas,' they said, 'for this great city, in which, through her vast wealth, the owners of all the ships on the sea have grown rich; because in one short hour she has been laid waste!'
20 “Yaa samii kufaatii isheetti gammadi! Isin sabni Waaqaa gammadaa! Ergamoonnii fi raajonni gammadaa! Waaqni ishee irratti isiniif mureeraatii.”
Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you saints and Apostles and Prophets; for God has taken vengeance upon her because of you."
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.
Then a single angel of great strength took a stone which resembled a huge millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon, that great city, be violently hurled down and never again be found.
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.
No harp or song, no flute or trumpet, shall ever again be heard in thee; no craftsman of any kind shall ever again be found in thee; nor shall the grinding of the mill ever again be heard in thee.
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.
Never again shall the light of a lamp shine in thee, and never again shall the voice of a bridegroom or of a bride be heard in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and with the magic which thou didst practise all nations were led astray.
24 Dhiigni raajotaatii fi dhiigni qulqullootaa, dhiigni warra lafa irratti gorraʼaman hundumaas ishee keessatti argame.”
And in her was found the blood of Prophets and of God's people and of all who had been put to death on the earth."
