< Isaiah 47 >

1 Come downe and sit in the dust: O virgine, daughter Babel, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, Tender and delicate.
“Yaa intala Baabilon Durba Qulqullittii, gad buʼi; awwaara irra taaʼi; yaa Intala Baabilonotaa, teessoo malee lafa taaʼi! Ati siʼachi bareedduu yookaan kichuu jedhamtee hin waamamtu.
2 Take the mill stones, and grinde meale: loose thy lockes: make bare the feete: vncouer the legge, and passe through the floods.
Dhagaa daakuu fudhadhuutii midhaan daaki; haguuggii kee of irraa fuudhi. Wandaboo kee soqoladhu; gudeeda kee mulʼisi; laga ceʼi.
3 Thy filthinesse shall be discouered, and thy shame shall be seene: I will take vengeance, and I will not meete thee as a man.
Qullaan kee ifatti ni baʼa; qaaniin kees hin dhokatu. Ani haaloo nan baʼa; ani nama tokko iyyuu hin dhiisu.”
4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hostes is his Name, the holy one of Israel.
Furiin keenya maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha; inni Qulqullicha Israaʼel.
5 Sit still, and get thee into darkenesse, O daughter of the Chaldeas: for thou shalt no more be called, The ladie of kingdomes.
“Yaa Intala Baabilonotaa, calʼisii taaʼiitii dukkana seeni; ati siʼachi mootittii mootummootaa jedhamtee hin waamamtu.
6 I was wroth with my people: I haue polluted mine inheritance, and giuen them into thine had: thou diddest shew them no mercy, but thou didest lay thy very heauy yoke vpon the ancient.
Ani saba kootti dheekkameera; handhuuraa koos xureesseera; ani dabarsee harka keetti isaan kenneera; atis garaa hin laafneef. Warra dullooman irra iyyuu waanjoo ulfaataa keesse.
7 And thou saidest, I shall be a ladie for euer, so that thou diddest not set thy mind to these things, neither diddest thou remember ye latter end therof.
Ati, ‘Ani bara baraan itti fufee mootittii bara baraa nan taʼa!’ jette. Ati garuu wantoota kana hin hubanne yookaan dhumni isaanii maal akka taʼu hin yaadanne.
8 Therefore nowe heare, thou that art giuen to pleasures, and dwellest carelesse, Shee sayeth in her heart, I am and none els: I shall not sit as a widowe, neither shall knowe the losse of children.
“Ammas yaa ishee qananiituu, kan nagaan jiraattee garaa kee keessattis, ‘Anuma; ana malee tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ani siʼachi haadha hiyyeessaa yookaan nama dhalee dhabe hin taʼu’ ofiin jettu dhagaʼi.
9 But these two thinges shall come to thee suddenly on one day, the losse of children and widowhoode: they shall come vpon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy diuinations, and for the great abundance of thine inchanters.
Wantoonni kunneen lamaan, dhalanii dhabuu fi haadha hiyyeessaa taʼuun akkuma tasaa guyyuma tokkotti sitti dhufu. Isaan baayʼina falfala keetiitii fi tolcha kee cimaa sanaa hunda irraan iyyuu humna isaanii guutuudhaan sitti dhufu.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickednesse: thou hast sayd, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, they haue caused thee to rebel, and thou hast saide in thine heart, I am, and none els.
Ati hammina kee amanattee, ‘Namni tokko iyyuu na hin argu’ jette. Yeroo ati garaa kee keessatti, ‘Ana; ana malee namni biraa hin jiru’ jettutti, ogummaa fi beekumsi kee si dogoggorsu.
11 Therefore shall euill come vpon thee, and thou shalt not knowe the morning thereof: destruction shall fal vpon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put away: destruction shall come vpon thee suddenly, or thou beware.
Wanni hamaan sitti dhufa; ati immoo eessaa akka inni dhufu hin beektu. Balaan ati of irraa ittisuu hin dandeenye tokko sitti dhufa; badiisni ati duraan dursitee hin beekin akkuma tasaa sitti dhufa.
12 Stand now among thine inchanters, and in the multitude of thy southsaiers (with whome thou hast wearied thy selfe from thy youth) if so be thou maist haue profit, or if so be thou maist haue strength.
“Yoos ati tolcha keetii fi falfala kee baayʼee ijoollummaa keetii jalqabdee itti dadhabde sana jabeessii eegi. Yoo akkas taʼe ati ni milkoofta; yoo akkas taʼe nama ni sodaachifta taʼa.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the starre gasers, and prognosticatours stand vp, and saue thee from these things, that shall come vpon thee.
Gorsi ati argatte hundi dadhabbii qofa sitti fide! Urjii lakkooftonni kee warri jiʼa jiʼaan urjii ilaalanii raajan sun, mee waan sitti dhufu duraa si haa baasan kaa.
14 Beholde, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burne them: they shall not deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame: there shalbe no coles to warme at, nor light to sit by.
Dhugumaan isaan akkuma cidii ti; ibiddi isaan guba. Isaan mataa isaanii iyyuu, humna arraba ibiddaa jalaa baasuu hin dandaʼan. Barbadaan ibiddaa kan namni hoʼifatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ibiddi bira taaʼanis hin argamu.
15 Thus shall they serue thee, with whom thou hast wearied thee, euen thy marchants from thy youth: euery one shall wander to his owne quarter: none shall saue thee.
Wanni warri ati wajjin dadhabdee ijoollummaa keetii jalqabdee wajjin daldalte sun siif gochuu dandaʼan kanuma. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dogoggora isaanii itti fufan; kan si baasuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
