Isaiah 8
1 The LORD said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;
Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Gabatee guddaa tokko fuudhiitii isa irratti, ‘Maheer-Shaalaal-Haash-Baaz’ jedhii qubee beekamaadhaan barreessi.”
2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”
Anis akka isaan dhuga baatota amanamoo taʼaniif Uuriyaa lubichaa fi Zakkaariyaas ilma Yeberekiyaa nan waammadha.
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’
Anis raajittii bira nan gaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesse. Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Maqaa isaa Maheer-Shaalaal-Haash-Baaz jedhii moggaasi.
4 For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
Utuu mucaan kun ‘Aabboo’ yookaan ‘Aayyoo’ jechuu hin beekin dura qabeenyi Damaasqootii fi boojuun Samaariyaa mootii Asooriin fudhatama.”
5 The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,
Waaqayyo ammas akkana jedhee natti dubbate:
6 “Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
“Sabni kun bishaan Shilooʼaa kan suuta yaaʼu sana dhiisee Reziinii fi ilma Remaaliyaatti gammadeeraatii;
7 now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
kanaafuu Gooftaan, lolaa guddaa kan laga Efraaxiis jechuunis mootii Asoor ulfina isaa hunda wajjin saba kanatti fida. Lolaan sunis guutee boʼoo isaa irra yaaʼee ededa isaa hunda irra dhangalaʼa.
8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, O Immanuel.
Lolaan sunis hamma morma gaʼutti guutee irra dhangalaʼee keessa darbuudhaan waan hundumaa haxaaʼee Yihuudaatti geessa. Yaa Amaanuʼel! Qoochoon isaa balʼifamee guutummaa biyya keetii ni haguuga.”
9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
Yaa saboota, burkutaaʼaa! Isin warri biyya fagoo jirtan hundi dhaggeeffadhaa. Waraanaaf hidhadhaa; taʼus burkutaaʼaa! Waraanaaf hidhadhaa; taʼus burkutaaʼaa!
10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”
Mariʼadhaa; garuu faayidaa hin qabu; karoorfadhaa; garuu fiixaan hin baʼu; Waaqni nu wajjin jiraatii.
11 For the LORD spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Waaqayyo harka isaa jabaa sanaan natti dubbatee akka ani karaa saba kanaa irra hin deemneef akkana jedhee na akeekkachiiseeraatii:
12 “Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorised.
“Isin waan uummanni kun fincila jedhu hundaan fincila hin jedhinaa; waan isaan sodaatan hin sodaatinaa; hin raafaminaa.
13 The LORD of Hosts is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
Kan isin akka qulqulluutti ilaaluu qabdan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu tokkicha; kan isin sodaachuu qabdan isuma; kan isin hollachuufii qabdanis isuma.
14 He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.
Inni iddoo qulqulluu taʼa; manneen Israaʼel lamaaniif garuu inni dhagaa nama gufachiisu, kattaa nama kuffisu taʼa. Saba Yerusaalemitti garuu inni kiyyoo fi futtaasaa taʼa.
15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
Hedduun isaanii ni gufatu; isaan kufanii caccabu; futtaasaa seenanii qabamu.”
16 Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law amongst my disciples.
Dhuga baʼumsa kana walitti qabsiisi; seera kanas barattoota koo gidduutti chaappaadhaan cufi.
17 I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Waaqayyo mana Yaaqoob duraa fuula isaa dhokfate sana nan eeggadha. Ani isa nan amanadha.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.
Anii fi ijoolleen Waaqayyo naa kenne kunoo ti. Nu Israaʼel keessatti Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu kan Tulluu Xiyoon irra jiraatu sanaaf mallattoo fi fakkeenya.
19 When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
Yommuu namni tokko dhaqaatii ilaaltootaa fi eker dubbistoota kanneen hasaasanii fi guunguman waa gaafadhaa isiniin jedhutti sabni tokko Waaqa isaa gorsa gaafachuu hin qabuu? Isaan waaʼee jiraattotaa maaliif warra duʼan gaafatu?
20 Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Akka seeraa fi dhuga baʼumsa sanaatti jiraadhaa! Isaan yoo akka dubbii kanaatti dubbachuu baatan ifa barii hin qaban jechuu dha.
21 They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,
Isaan rakkina guddaa fi beelaan biyya keessa jooru; yommuu beelaʼanittis akka malee aaranii, ol ilaalanii mootii isaaniitii fi Waaqa isaanii abaaru.
22 then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
Ergasiis gara lafaa ilaalanii rakkina guddaa, dukkanaa fi hurrii sodaachisaa argu; isaanis dukkana hamaatti darbatamu.
