Isaayyaas 28
1 Gonfoo of tuulummaa kan machooftota Efreem sanaaf, daraaraa coollagu kan ulfina miidhagina isaaniitiif, kan mataa sulula gabbataa irra jiruuf, magaalaa warra daadhii wayiniitiin fudhataman sanaatiif wayyoo!
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
2 Kunoo, Gooftaan isa humna qabeessaa fi jabaa tokko qaba. Inni akkuma cabbiitii fi bubbee waa balleessuu, akkuma bokkaa jabaatii fi bishaan guutee irra dhangalaʼuu, humnaan lafatti gad ishee darbata.
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 Gonfoon of tuulummaa, machooftonni Efreem miilla jalatti dhidhiitamu.
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 Daraaraan harcaʼu, miidhaginni isaa kabajamaan, kan mataa sulula gabbataa irra jiru sun, akkuma muka harbuu utuu bonni hin gaʼin bilchaatu sanaa taʼa; namni isa argu hundi akkuma isa harka keessa galfateen isa nyaatee fixa.
And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the summer; which [when] he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5 Bara sana Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hambaa saba isaatiif, gonfoo ulfinaa, miʼa miidhaginaa ni taʼa.
In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 Inni nama murtii kennuuf taaʼuuf hafuura murtii qajeelaa taʼa; warra karra irraa waraana deebisaniif immoo madda jabinaa taʼa.
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 Jarri kuni daadhii wayiniitiin gatantaru; dhugaatii jabaadhaan dogoggoru; luboonnii fi raajonni dhugaatii jabaadhaan gatantaru; daadhii wayiniitiin fudhatamu; isaan dhugaatii jabaadhaan karaa irraa badu; yeroo mulʼata arganittis ni dogoggoru; yeroo murtii kennanittis ni dogoggoru.
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.
8 Maaddiin hundinuu diddigaan guutameera; iddoon hin xureeffamin tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].
9 “Namni inni waa barsiisuu yaalu kun eenyu? Inni eenyuuf ergaa isaa ibsaa jira? Ijoollee aannan dhiifteef moo ijoollee harma guuteef?
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.
10 Ajaja irratti ajaja; ajaja irratti ajaja; sirna irratti sirna; sirna irratti sirna; asitti muraasa; achitti muraasa” taʼaatii.
For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
11 Yoos Waaqni afaan alagootaatiin, afaan hin beekamneenis saba kanatti ni dubbata;
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 inni akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Kun iddoo boqonnaa ti; warri dadhaban haa boqotan; kun iddoo aara galfannaa ti.” Isaan garuu dhagaʼuu didan.
To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 Yoo akkasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana isaanitti taʼa; ajaja irratti ajaja; ajaja irratti ajaja; sirna irratti sirna; sirna irratti sirna; asitti muraasa; achitti muraasa; kunis akka isaan dhaqanii dugda duubatti kufanii fi akka isaan caccabanii kiyyoodhaan qabamaniif.
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Kanaafuu isin qoostonni warri uummata Yerusaalem bulchitan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.
15 Isin akkana jettanii of tuultu; “Nu duʼa wajjin kakuu galleerra; siiʼool wajjinis walii galtee gooneerra. Sababii nu soba daʼoo godhannee, sobas iddoo itti dhokannu godhanneef, balaan hamaan yeroo dhufee lafa balleessutti nu tuquu hin dandaʼu.” (Sheol h7585)
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: (Sheol h7585)
16 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Kunoo ani dhagaa tokko, dhagaa qoratame, dhagaa golee gati jabeessa tokko hundee mirkanaaʼaadhaaf Xiyoon keessa nan kaaʼa; namni amanu kam iyyuu hin qaanaʼu.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Ani murtii qajeelaa funyoo ittiin safaran, qajeelummaa immoo madaalii nan godhadha; soba isin daʼoo godhattan sana bokkaan jabaan ni balleessa; bishaanis lafa isin itti dhokattan keessa ni lolaʼa.
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 Kakuun isin duʼa wajjin godhattan ni diigama; walii galteen isin siiʼool wajjin godhattanis ni barbadeeffama. Yeroo balaan hamaan dhufee lafa balleessutti isin lafatti gad dhidhiitamtu. (Sheol h7585)
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 Inni yeroo dhufu hunda isin fudhatee deema; ganama ganama halkanii fi guyyaas, inni waa balleessa.” Ergaa kana hubachuun naasuu guddaa namatti fida.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [to] understand the report.
20 Sireen irratti diriirfachuuf baayʼee gabaabaa dha; uffata halkanii ofitti marachuuf baayʼee dhiphaa dha.
For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch himself [on it: ] and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it].
21 Waaqayyo hojii isaa, hojii isaa haaraa sana hojjechuuf, gocha isaa, gocha isaa kan hin beekamne sana hojjechuuf, akkuma Tulluu Pheraaziim keessatti godhe sana ni kaʼa; akkuma Sulula Gibeʼoonitti godhe sana ni kaʼa.
For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Amma qoosaa keessan dhiisaa; yoo akkas hin taʼin foncaan keessan isinitti jabaata; Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, labsii guutummaa biyyattii balleessuuf labse natti himeera.
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Dhaggeeffadhaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼaa; qalbeeffadhaatii waan ani dubbadhu dhagaʼaa.
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Qonnaan bulaan tokko yeroo sanyii facaasuuf lafa qotatutti, ittuma fufee qotaa? Inni ittuma fufee biyyoo caccabsee bulleessaa?
Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25 Inni yeroo lafa wal qixxeessutti dimbilaalaa fi kamuunii hin facaasuu? Inni qamadii toora tooraan, garbuu iddoo isaa irratti, honboriis lafa qotiisaa isaa irratti hin facaasuu?
When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 Waaqni isaa isa barsiisa; karaa qajeelaa irras isa buusa.
For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth teach him.
27 Abasuudni gangalchaadhaan hin dhaʼamu; kamuunii irras gommaan gaarii hin oofamu; abasuudni uleedhaan, insilaalli immoo shimalaan dhaʼama.
For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28 Midhaan buddeena tolchuuf daakamuu qaba; kanaafuu namni tokko bara baraan midhaan hin dhaʼu. Inni gommaa gaarii kan midhaan dhaʼu midhaan sana irra oofu iyyuu fardeen isaa midhaanicha hin bulleessan.
Bread [corn] is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it [with] his horsemen.
29 Wanni kun hundinuu Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, isa mariidhaan dinqisiisaa, ogummaadhaanis guddaa taʼe biraa dhufa.
This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, [which] is wonderful in counsel, [and] excellent in working.
