Ezekiel 23
1 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
“Yaa ilma namaa, dubartoota lama, intallan haadha tokkootu ture.
3 They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
Isaanis shamarrummaa isaaniitii jalqabanii sagaagalummaadhaaf of kennuudhaan biyya Gibxi keessatti sagaagaltoota taʼan. Biyya sanattis harmi isaanii ni tuttuqame; fiixeen guntuta isaanii kan yeroo durbummaa immoo ni qaqqabatame.
4 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
Ishee hangafni Oholaa, obboleettiin ishee immoo Oholaa jedhamte. Isaanis kan koo turan; ilmaanii fi intallanis daʼan. Aholaan Samaariyaa dha; Oholiibaan immoo Yerusaalemii dha.
5 “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
“Oholaan utuma kan koo taatee jirtuu sagaagalummaa jalqabde; isheenis michoota ishee jechuunis loltoota Asoor kajeelte;
6 who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
isaanis loltoota wayyaa bifa cuquliisaa uffatan, bulchitootaa fi ajajjoota; isaan hundinuus namoota mimmiidhagoo kanneen farda yaabbatan turan.
7 She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
Isheenis hayyoota Asoor hundaaf sagaagalummaadhaan of kennite; waaqota tolfamoo namoota isheen kajeelte sanaa hundaanis of xureessite.
8 She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
Isheen sagaagalummaa ishee kan biyya Gibxi keessatti jalqabde sana hin dhiifne; yeroo shamarrummaa isheetti namoonni ishee wajjin ciisan fiixee guntuta ishee kan yeroo durbummaa qaqqabatanii dharraa sagaagalummaa isaanii ishee irratti dhangalaasan.
9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
“Kanaafuu ani michoota ishee, Asoorota isheen dharraatetti dabarsee ishee nan kenne.
10 These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
Isaanis qullaa ishee mulʼisan; ilmaanii fi intallan ishee ni fudhatan; goraadeedhaanis ishee ajjeesan. Isheen dubartoota keessatti waan kolfaa taatee murtiin ishee irratti raawwatame.
11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.
“Obboleettiin ishee Oholiibaa waan kana argitee turte; taʼus isheen dharraa isheetii fi sagaagalummaa isheetiin obboleettii ishee caalaa xuroofte.
12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
Akkasumas isheen Asoorota jechuunis bulchitootaa fi ajajjoota, loltoota wayyaa irraa fi jalaa uffatan, namoota farda yaabbatan kanneen hundi isaanii dargaggeeyyii mimmiidhagoo taʼan dharraate.
13 I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.
Ani akka isheenis of xureessite nan arge; lachan isaanii iyyuu daandii tokko irra deemu.
14 “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
“Isheen garuu sagaagalummaa ishee ittuma fufte. Fakkii namootaa kan keenyan manaa irratti fakkeeffame, fakkiiwwan Kaldootaa kan halluu diimaadhaan fakkeeffame,
15 dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
kan mudhii isaanii irraa sabbata, mataa isaanii irraa immoo marata qaban argite; isaan hundi ajajjoota gaarii waraanaa kan Baabilonotaa, dhalattoota biyya Kaldootaa fakkaatu ture.
16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
Isheenis akkuma isaan argiteen isaan dharraatee gara biyya Kaldootaatti ergamoota isaanitti ergatte.
17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Warri Baabilonis gara ishee, gara siree jaalalaa seenanii dharraa sagaagalummaa isaaniitiin ishee xureessan. Isheenis erga isaaniin xurooftee booddee jibbitee isaan irraa garagalte.
18 So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister.
Yeroo isheen ifaan ifatti sagaagalummaa ishee itti fuftee qullaa of dhaabdetti, ani akkuman obboleettii ishee irraa gara gale sana jibbaan ishee irraa nan gara gale.
19 Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
Taʼus isheen akkuma yeroo shamarrummaa ishee, yeroo biyya Gibxi keessatti sagaagaltuu turte sana yaadatteen sagaagalummaa ishee ittuma fufte.
20 She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Isheenis achitti michoota ishee kanneen dhagni saala isaanii, dhagna hormaata korma harree fakkaatu, fincaan isaanii kan dhiiraa immoo fincaan korma fardaa fakkaatu sana dharraate.
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
Kanaafuu ati addaggummaa yeroo shamarrummaa keetii kan yeroo biyya Gibxi turtetti harmi kee qaqqabatamee guntunni kee immoo tuttuqame sana yaadatte.
22 “Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
“Kanaafuu yaa Oholiibaa, Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani michoota kee kanneen ati xireeffattee irraa garagalte sana sitti kaasee qixa hundaan sitti nan fida.
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
Isaan kunneenis Baabilonotaa fi Kaldoota hunda, namoota Pheqood kan Shooʼaatii fi Qoʼaa turan; isaan wajjinis Asoorota hundattu ture; Asooronni kunneenis dargaggeeyyii mimmiidhagoo hundi isaanii bulchitootaa fi ajajjoota waraanaa, ajajjoota gaarii waraanaatii fi namoota sadarkaa ol aanaa kanneen hundi isaanii fardaan deeman turan.
24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments.
Isaanis miʼa lolaatii fi gaarii waraanaa, gaariiwwan biraatii fi tuuta uummataa wajjin sitti dhufu; isaanis gaachana guddaa fi xinnaan, gonfoo sibiilaatiin qixa hundaan sitti hiriiru; ani dabarsee isaanitti adabbiif sin kenna; isaan akkuma seera isaaniitti si adabu.
25 I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
Ani dheekkamsa koo sitti nan erga; isaanis aariidhaan sirra yaaʼu. Funyaanii fi gurra kee sirraa kutu; warri si keessaa hafan iyyuu goraadeedhaan dhumu. Isaan ilmaan keetii fi intallan kee fudhatanii deemu. Warri si keessaa hafan immoo ibiddaan barbadeeffamu.
26 They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
Akkasumas wayyaa kee sirraa baafatanii faaya kee miidhagaa fudhatu.
27 Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’
Akkasiin ani addaggummaa fi sagaagalummaa ati biyya Gibxitti jalqabde sana nan dhaaba. Ati dharraadhaan wantoota kanneen hin ilaaltu yookaan lammata biyya Gibxi hin yaadattu.
28 “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated.
“Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Ani warra ati jibbite, kanneen ati xireeffattee irraa garagalte sanatti dabarsee sin kenna.
29 They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
Isaanis jibbaan sitti dhufanii waan ati itti dadhabde hunda sirraa fudhatu. Qullaa fi harka duwwaa si hambisu; qaaniin sagaagalummaa keetiis ifatti baʼa. Addaggummaan keetii fi halalummaan kee,
30 These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
waan kana sitti fidaniiru; ati saboota ormaa dharraatee waaqota isaanii tolfamoodhaan of xureessiteertaatii.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’
Ati karaa obboleettiin kee deemte irra deemteerta; kanaafuu ani harka kee keessa xoofoo ishee nan kaaʼa.
32 “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
“Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Atis xoofoo guddaa fi gad fagoo, xoofoo obboleettii keetii ni dhugda; ati arrabsoo fi tuffii ni quufta; xoofoon sun dhugaatii baayʼee qabataatii.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
Ati xoofoo obboleettii keetii kan Samaariyaatiin, xoofoo diigamuutii fi badiisaatiin, kan machiitii fi gaddaatiin ni guutamta.
34 You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh.
Ati ni dhugda; keessaas ni fixxa; xoofoo sana ni caccabsita; harma kee of irraa ciccirta. Ani waan kana dubbadheera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
35 “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ati waan na irraanfattee duubatti na gatteef gatii addaggummaa keetiitii fi sagaagalummaa keetii ni argatta.”
36 Yahweh said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa, ati Oholaa fi Oholiibaatti ni murtaa? Yoos hojii isaanii jibbisiisaa sana isaanitti himi;
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
isaan sagaagalaniiru; dhiigni harka isaanii irra jira. Isaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoo wajjin sagaagalaniiru; isaan ijoollee naaf daʼan iyyuu nyaata godhanii isaaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaniiru.
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Dabalaniis waan kana narratti raawwatan: Yeruma sana iddoo koo qulqulluu xureessan; Sanbatoota koos ni salphisan.
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house.
Gaafuma ijoollee isaanii waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa godhanitti iddoo koo qulqulluu seenanii xureessan. Wanni isaan mana koo keessatti godhan kanaa dha.
40 “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments,
“Akka namoonni biyya fagootii dhufaniif ergamoota itti ergan; isaanis ni dhufan; yommuu isaan dhufanittis ati dhagna kee dhiqattee, ija kee kuulattee faaya kee kaaʼatte.
41 and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
Ati siree ulfinaa irra teesse; fuula siree sanaa dura minjaala keesse; minjaala sana irras ixaana kootii fi zayitii koo keesse.
42 “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
“Wacni fandalaltootaa naannoo isheetti dhagaʼame; machooftonni namoota wacan sana wajjin gammoojjiidhaa dhufanis achi turan; isaanis irree dubartii sanaattii fi kan obboleettii isheetti bitawoo, mataa isaaniitti immoo gonfoo miidhagaa kaaʼaniif.
43 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
Anis, ‘Namoonni yeroo ishee wajjin sagaagalanitti isaan amma ejja hojjechuu isaaniitii mitii?’ nan jedhe.
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
Jarris ishee wajjin ciisan. Isaanis akkuma namoonni sagaagaltoota wajjin ciisan sana Oholaa fi Oholiibaa addaggeewwan sana wajjin ciisan.
45 Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Sababii isaan ejjitoota taʼanii fi dhiigni harka isaanii irratti argameef, namoonni qajeeltonni adabbii dubartoota ejjitootaa fi dhiiga dhangalaasaniif malu isaanitti muru.
46 “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
“Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani jeeqxota itti nan kakaasa; raafamaa fi saamichaaf dabarsee isaan nan kenna.
47 The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
Jeeqxonni sunis dhagaan isaan tumanii goraadee isaaniitiin isaan kukkutu; ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii fixanii manneen isaanii immoo ni gubu.
48 “‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
“Kanaafuu akka dubartoonni hundi of eeggatanii fi isin duukaa hin buuneef ani biyyattii keessaa addaggummaa nan balleessa.
49 They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’”
Isin addaggummaa keessaniif ni adabamtu; gatii cubbuu keessan kan waaqota tolfamoo waaqessuudhaan hojjettan sanaa ni argattu. Ergasiis akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beektu.”
