Hisqiʼeel 20
1 Waggaa torbaffaa, jiʼa shanaffaa keessa guyyaa kudhannaffaatti maanguddoota Israaʼel keessaa tokko tokko waan Waaqayyo jedhu gaafachuuf dhufanii fuula koo dura tataaʼan.
And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
2 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
3 “Yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii maanguddoota Israaʼelitti dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin yaada koo gaafachuu dhuftanii? Ani jiraataadhaatii, ani akka isin yaada koo gaafattaniif isinii hin eeyyamu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’
Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
4 “Ati isaanitti murtaa? Yaa ilma namaa, ati isaanitti murtaa? Ergasiis akka isaan hojiiwwan abbootii isaanii jibbisiisoo sana beekan godhi;
Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge [them]? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
5 akkanas isaaniin jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani gaafan Israaʼel filadhetti harka koo ol qabadhee sanyii mana Yaaqoobiif kakachuudhaan biyya Gibxi keessatti isaanitti of mulʼiseera. Harka koo ol kaasee, “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan” isaaniin jedheera.
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I [am] the LORD your God;
6 Gaafas ani biyya Gibxii isaan baasee biyya ani isaaniif file kan aannanii fi damma baastu, biyya biyyoota hunda caalaa miidhagdutti isaan galchuudhaaf isaaniif nan kakadhe.
In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands:
7 Anis akkanan isaaniin jedhe; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan wantoota jibbisiisoo kan iji keessan itti gammadu sana balleessaa; waaqota Gibxiinis of hin xureessinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.”
Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.
8 “‘Isaan garuu natti fincilanii na dhagaʼuu didan; wantoota jibbisiisoo iji isaanii itti gammade sanas hin balleessine yookaan waaqota Gibxi tolfamoo sanas hin dhiisne. Kanaafuu ani biyya Gibxi keessatti aarii koo isaanitti baʼuudhaaf dheekkamsa koo isaan irratti nan dhangalaasa jedheen ture.
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 Ani garuu akka maqaan koo fuula saboota Israaʼeloonni gidduu isaanii jiraatan kanneen ani Israaʼeloota biyya Gibxii baasuudhaan fuula isaanii duratti of beeksise sanaa duratti hin xuroofne gochuudhaaf maqaa kootiif jedheen hojjedhe.
But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they [were], in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
10 Kanaafuu ani biyya Gibxii isaan baaseen gammoojjiitti isaan fide.
Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
11 Akka namni isaaniif ajajamu isaaniin jiraatuuf ani sirnawwan koo isaaniif nan kenne; seerawwan koos isaanitti nan beeksise.
And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them.
12 Akkasumas akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo isaan qulqulleesse beekaniif, akka anaa fi isaan gidduutti mallattoo taʼuuf Sanbatoota koo isaaniif nan kenne.
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them.
13 “‘Manni Israaʼel garuu gammoojjii keessatti natti fincile. Sirna koo isa namni yoo itti bule isaan jiraatu isa hin eegne; seera koos ni tuffatan. Sanbatoota koos guutumaan guutuutti xureessan. Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee gammoojjii keessatti isaanan barbadeessa jedhen ture.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 Ani garuu akka maqaan koo fuula saboota utuma iji isaanii arguu Israaʼelin achii baase sanaa duratti hin xuroofneef maqaa kootiif jedhee waan kana nan hojjedhe.
But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
15 Akkasumas biyya ani isaaniif kenne kan biyyoota hunda caalaa miidhagdu kan aannanii fi damma baastutti akka isaan hin galchine harka koo ol qabadhee gammoojjii keessatti isaanitti nan kakadhe;
Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands;
16 kunis waan isaan seera koo tuffataniif, sirna koo duukaa hin buʼinii fi Sanbatoota koo xureessaniif. Yaadni isaanii waaqota isaanii tolfamoo faana buʼeeraatii.
Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
17 Taʼus ani gara laafinaanan isaan ilaale malee isaan hin balleessine yookaan gammoojjii keessatti isaan hin fixne.
Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
18 Ani gammoojjii keessatti ijoollee isaaniitiin akkana nan jedhe; “Sirna abbootii keessanii duukaa hin buʼinaa yookaan seera isaanii hin eeginaa yookaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoon of hin xureessinaa.
But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
19 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan; sirna koo duukaa buʼaa; seera koos of eeggannaadhaan eegaa.
I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
20 Akka inni nu gidduutti mallattoo taʼuuf Sanbata koo qulqullinaan eegaa. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan taʼe ni beektu.”
And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.
21 “‘Ijoolleen isaanii garuu natti fincilan; isaan sirna koo isa, “Namni yoo itti bule isaan jiraatu” sana duukaa hin buune; seera koos of eeggannoodhaan hin eegne. Sanbatoota koos ni xureessan. Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa koo isaanitti roobsee gammoojjii keessatti aarii koo isaanitti nan baʼa jedheen ture.
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Ani garuu maqaa kootiif jedhee akka maqaan koo fuula saboota ani utuma isaan ilaalanuu achii isaan baase sanaa duratti hin xuroofneef harka koo dachaafadhe.
Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
23 Akkasumas ani gammoojjii keessatti harka koo ol qabadhee akkan saboota gidduutti isaan faffacaasuu fi biyyoota keessa isaan bittinneessu fuula isaanii duratti nan kakadhe;
I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
24 isaan seera kootiif ajajamuu didan; sirna koos ni tuffatan; Sanbatoota koos ni xureessan; iji isaaniis waaqota tolfamoo kan abbootii isaanii duukaa buʼe.
Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
25 Anis sirna gaarii hin taʼinii fi seera isaan itti hin jiraannetti dabarseen isaan kenne;
Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
26 anis sodaadhaan isaan guutuufan aarsaa isaan ilmaan isaanii hangafa dhiʼeessuudhaan kennan sanaan akka isaan xuraaʼan nan godha; kanas ani akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe beekaniifan godhe.’
And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] the LORD.
27 “Kanaafuu yaa ilma namaa, akkana jedhii saba Israaʼelitti dubbadhu; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Kanaanis abbootiin keessan na gananii na arrabsan;
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
28 yeroo ani gara biyya ani isaaniif kennuuf kakadhee ture sanaatti isaan galchee isaan immoo gaara ol dheeraa kam iyyuu yookaan muka lalisaa kam iyyuu arganitti, isaan achitti aarsaa isaaniif dhiʼeessan; aariif na kakaasuuf jedhanii qalma dhiʼeessan; ixaana isaanii urgaaʼaa dhiʼeessanii dhibaayyuu isaaniis dhibaafatan.
[For] when I had brought them into the land, [for] the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
29 Anis lafti ol dheeraan isin dhaqxan kun maal?’ isaaniin jedhe.” Hamma harʼaatti lafti sun Baamaa jedhamee waamama.
Then I said unto them, What [is] the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
30 “Kanaaf mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Isin akkuma abbootii keessanii of xureessitanii hawwii wantoota jibbisiisoo isaaniitiin gubattanii?
Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?
31 Isin yeroo kennaa keessan dhiʼeessitanii ilmaan keessan ibiddaan aarsaa gootanitti, hamma harʼaatti ittuma fuftanii waaqota keessan tolfamoo hundaan of xureessitan. Yaa mana Israaʼel, akka isin na kadhattani ani isiniif nan eeyyamaa? Ani dhugumaan jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; akka isin na kadhattan ani isiniif hin eeyyamu.
For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
32 “‘Isin, “Nu akka sabootaa, akka uummata addunyaa kanneen mukaa fi dhagaadhaaf sagadan sanaa taʼuu feena” jettu. Garuu wanni isin garaatti yaaddan gonkumaa hin taʼu.
And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
33 Ani dhugumaan jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; ani irree jabaa fi harka diriirfameen, dheekkamsa roobsuudhaan isinan bulcha.
[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
34 Ani harka jabaadhaan, irree diriirfamee fi dheekkamsa roobeen saboota keessaa isinan fida; biyyoota isin itti bibittinnooftan keessaas walitti isinan qaba.
And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
35 Ani gammoojjii sabootaatti isin fidee achitti ifaan ifatti isinitti nan mura.
And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
36 Ani akkuman biyya Gibxitti abbootii keessanitti mure sana isinittis nan mura, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
37 Ani akka isin ulee koo jalaan lootan nan godha; hidhaa kakuuttis isin nan galcha.
And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
38 Warra natti kaʼanii natti fincilan isin keessaa nan baasa. Biyya isaan jiraachaa turan sana keessaa isaan nan baasa; garuu isaan biyya Israaʼel hin seenan. Kanaanis isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
39 “‘Yaa mana Israaʼel waaʼee keessan garuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Tokkoon tokkoon keessan dhaqaatii waaqota tolfamoo keessan tajaajilaa! Ergasii garuu dhugumaan na dhaggeeffattu; kennaa fi waaqota keessaniinis lammata maqaa koo qulqullicha hin xureessitan.
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
40 Tulluu koo qulqullicha irratti, tulluu Israaʼel dheeraa sana irratti, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan, achitti guutummaan mana Israaʼel na tajaajilu; anis achitti isaan nan simadha. Achittis buusii keessanii fi kennaa keessan filatamaa sana aarsaa keessan qulqulluu hunda wajjin nan barbaada.
For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
41 Ani yeroon saboota keessaa isin baasee biyyoota isin itti bittinnooftanii turtan keessaa walitti isin qabutti, ixaana urgaaʼaa godhadhee isin nan simadha; fuula sabootaa durattis isin gidduutti qulqulluu taʼuu koo of nan mulʼisa.
I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
42 Yeroo ani biyya Israaʼel, biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kennuuf harka ol qabadheen kakadhee ture sanatti isin galchutti isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country [for] the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
43 Achitti isin amala keessanii fi gochawwan ittiin of xureessitan hunda ni yaadattu; hammina hojjettan hundaafis of balfitu.
And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
44 Yaa mana Israaʼel, yeroo ani utuu akka hammina keessaniittii fi akka hojii keessan fokkisaa sanaatti hin taʼin, maqaa kootiif jedhee isinii araaramutti, isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
45 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
46 “Yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara kibbaatti garagalfadhu; biyya kibbaatti lallabiitii bosona biyya Negeebiitiin mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu.
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [thy word] toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
47 Bosona Negeebiin akkana jedhi: ‘Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi. Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani ibidda sitti qabsiisuufan jira; innis mukkeen kee hunda jiidhaa fi goggogaa illee ni fixa. Arrabni isaa hin dhaamu; wanni kibbaa hamma kaabaatti jiru hundinuus ni gubama.
And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
48 Namni hundinuus akka ani Waaqayyo ibidda sana qabsiise ni beeka; ibiddi sunis hin dhaamu.’”
And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49 Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani bade! Isaan waaʼee koo, ‘Inni fakkeenya dubbata mitii?’ anaan jedhu” jedhe.
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
