< Isaiah 16 >

1 Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela [which is] toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
Seelaa, gammoojjii gama jirtu sana irraa bulchaa biyyattiitiif, gara tulluu Intala Xiyoonitti xobbaallaawwan hoolaa gibira ergaa.
2 For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.
Akkuma simbira manʼee ishee keessaa ariʼamtee asii fi achi fiigduu dubartoonni Moʼaabis malkaa laga Arnoonitti akkasuma taʼu.
3 Give counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday: hide the outcasts; bewray not the wanderer.
“Gorsa nuuf kennaa; murtii murteessaa. Guyyaa saafaadhaan gaaddidduu keessan akkuma halkanii dukkaneessaa. Baqattootas dhoksaa; kooluu galtoota hin ganinaa.
4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is brought to nought, spoiling ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Baqattoonni Moʼaab isin wajjin haa jiraatan; balleessituu irraa daʼoo isaaniif taʼaa.” Cunqursaan ni bada; badiisnis ni hafa; warri nama miidhan lafa irraa badu.
5 And a throne shall be established in mercy, and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David; judging, and seeking judgment, and swift to do righteousness.
Teessoon jaalalaan hundeeffama; mana Daawit keessaa namni murtii kennuu irratti murtii qajeelaa barbaadu, kan waan qajeelaa hojjechuuf ariifatu tokko amanamummaadhaan teessoo sana irra ni taaʼa.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought.
Nu of tuulummaa Moʼaab, of guddisuu fi kooruu ishee, of tuuluu fi addaggee taʼuu ishee dhageenyeerra; of jajuun ishee garuu faayidaa hin qabu.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken.
Kanaafuu Moʼaabonni ni booʼu; isaan tokkummaadhaan Moʼaabiif booʼu. Namoota Qiir Hareeshetiif faarsanii booʼuudhaan gaddu.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice plants thereof; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.
Lafti qotiisaa Heshboon, mukni wayinii Sibimaas coollageera. Bulchitoonni sabootaa mukkeen wayinii filatamoo kanneen duraan Yaʼizeerin gaʼanii gara gammoojjiitti babalʼatan dhidhiitaniiru. Lataan isaanii dheeratee hamma galaanaatti diriire.
9 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the [battle] shout is fallen.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma Yaʼizeer boosse sana, mukkeen wayinii Sibimaatiif nan booʼa. Yaa Heshboon, yaa Eleʼaalee, ani imimmaan kootiin sin jiisa! Ililleen yeroo midhaan siif gaʼeetii fi gammachuun yeroo midhaan siif haamamu ture sun hafeera.
10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout to cease.
Ililchuu fi gammaduun iddoo biqiltuu keessaa badaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessatti hin faarfatu yookaan hin ililchu: sababii ani ilillee balleesseef namni iddoo wayinii itti cuunfanitti wayinii dhidhiitu tokko hin jiru.
11 Wherefore my bowels sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
Garaan koo akkuma baganaa faarsee Moʼaabiif booʼa; keessi koos Qiir Hareeshetiif booʼa.
12 And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.
Moʼaab yoo iddoo ol kaʼaatti mulʼatte, isheen ofuma dadhabsiifti; yoo kadhannaaf gara iddoo qulqulluu ishee dhaqxe kunis faayidaa tokko illee hin qabu.
13 This is the word that the LORD spake concerning Moab in time past.
Kun dubbii Waaqayyo duraanuu waaʼee Moʼaab dubbatee dha.
14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.
Waaqayyo garuu amma akkana jedha: “Waggaa sadii keessatti, ulfinni Moʼaabii fi namoonni ishee hedduun hundi akkuma hojjetaan tokko guyyaa isaa lakkaaʼatu sana ni tuffatamu; kanneen hafanis akka malee muraasaa fi dadhaboo taʼu.”
