< Isaiah 9 >

1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her distress, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
Warri rakkina guddaa keessa turan garuu siʼachi gadda keessa hin jiraatan. Inni duraan biyya Zebuuloonii fi biyya Niftaalem gad deebise; gara fuulduraatti garuu Galiilaa Namoota Ormaa kan Yordaanosiin gama, qarqara Daandii Galaanaa irra jiran sana ni kabaja.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Sabni dukkana keessa jiraatu ifa guddaa argeera; warra biyya dukkana limixii keessa jiraataniifis ifni baʼeera.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and to him increased the joy: they rejoice before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Ati saba baayʼiftee gammachuu isaanii illee guddifteerta; isaan akkuma uummanni yeroo midhaan haamamutti gammadu sana, akkuma namoonni yeroo boojuu qooddatanitti gammadan sana fuula kee duratti ni ililchu.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
Ati akkuma bara Midiyaanin moʼatame sanaa, waanjoo isaanitti ulfaate somaa gatiittii isaanii irraa ulee cunqursaa isaanii illee caccabsiteerta.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
Kopheen loltuun ittiin duulte hundi, uffanni dhiiga keessa cuuphame hundi ibiddaan gubama; qoraan ibiddaas taʼa.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Mucaan nuuf dhalateera; ilmi nuuf kennameera; mootummaan gatiittii isaa irra jiraata. Innis Gorsaa Dinqisiisaa, Waaqa Jabaa, Abbaa Bara baraa, Mootii Nagaa jedhamee ni waamama.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Babalʼinni mootummaa isaatii fi nagaan isaa dhuma hin qabu. Innis murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan hundeessee jabeessee dhaabuudhaan yeroo sanaa jalqabee bara baraan teessoo Daawit irra taaʼee mootummaa isaa bulcha. Hinaaffaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuus waan kana ni raawwata.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Gooftaan dhaamsa tokko Yaaqoobitti ergeera; kunis Israaʼel irra buʼa.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
Uummanni hundi, Efreemii fi jiraattonni Samaariyaa waan kana ni beeku; isaanis of tuuluu fi garaa of jajuun akkana jedhu;
10 The bricks have fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
“Xuubiiwwan diigamaniiru; nu garuu dhagaa soofameen deebisnee ijaarra; mukkeen harbuu murmuramaniiru; nu garuu birbirsa iddoo buusna.”
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo amajaajota Reziin isaanitti jabeesse; diinota isaanii illee isaanitti kakaase.
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Warri Sooriyaa gama baʼaatiin, Filisxeemonni immoo gama lixaatiin afaan banatanii Israaʼelin liqimsan. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
13 For the people turn not to him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Sabni sun garuu gara isa isaan dhaʼe sanaatti hin deebine yookaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hin barbaaddanne.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼel irraa mataa fi eegee kuta; damee meexxiitii fi shambaqqoo guyyuma tokkoon balleessa;
15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
maanguddoonnii fi kabajamoonni mataa dha; raajonni soba barsiisan immoo eegee dha.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led by them are destroyed.
Namoonni saba kana qajeelchan isaan dogoggorsu; warri isaaniin qajeelfamanis karaa irraa badu.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan dargaggootatti hin gammadu yookaan ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaatiif hin naʼu; namni hundinuu kan Waaqa hin sodaannee fi hamaadhaatii; afaan hundinuus hamaa dubbata. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the rising of smoke.
Hamminni dhugumaan akka ibiddaa bobaʼa; inni sokorruu fi qoraattii illee gubee balleessa, bosona gobbuus ni qabata; akkuma aara ol baʼuuttis ol baʼa.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
Dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuutiin lafti ni gubatti; namoonnis qoraan ibiddaa taʼu; namni kam iyyuu obboleessa isaa oolchuu hin dandaʼu.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
Karaa mirgaatiin ni butatu; garuu beela hin baʼan; karaa bitaatiin ni nyaatu; garuu hin quufan. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii foon aantee isaa nyaata;
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Minaaseen Efreemin nyaata; Efreemis Minaasee nyaata; isaan tokkummaadhaan Yihuudaatti garagalu. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas amma iyyuu akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
