< Hisqiʼeel 13 >

1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, raajota Israaʼel kanneen amma raajii dubbachaa jiraniin mormuudhaan raaji. Warra yaaduma ofii isaanii raajaniin akkana jedhi: ‘Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa!
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
3 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Raajota gowwaa kanneen utuu homaa hin argin hafuura ofii isaanii duukaa buʼan sanaaf wayyoo!
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 Yaa Israaʼel, raajonni kee akkuma waangota waan diigame gidduu jiraatanii ti.
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Isin akka dallaan sun guyyaa waraana Waaqayyootti jabaatee dhaabatuuf dallaa cabe sana mana Israaʼeliif deebiftanii ijaaruudhaaf jettanii ol hin baane.
Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
6 Mulʼanni isaanii soba; raajiin isaanii soba. Isaan utuu Waaqayyo isaan hin ergin, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha” jedhu; taʼus isaan akka dubbiin isaanii raawwatamu eeggatu.
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
7 Ani dubbachuu baadhu iyyuu isin, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha” jechuun keessan mulʼata sobaa arguu keessanii fi raajii sobaa dubbachuu keessan mitii?
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it], although I have not spoken?
8 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii dubbii sobaa keessaniitii fi mulʼata sobaa keessaniitiif ani isinitti kaʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Harki koo raajota mulʼata sobaa arganii raajii sobaa dubbatanitti ni kaʼa. Isaan miseensa waldaa saba kootii hin taʼan yookaan galmee mana Israaʼel irratti hin galmeeffaman yookaan biyya Israaʼel hin seenan. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo Gooftaa taʼe ni beektu.
And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
10 “‘Isaan yeroo nagaan hin jirretti, “Nagaa dha” jechaa saba koo karaa irraa waan jalʼisanii yeroo namoonni dallaa dhagaa ijaaranitti nooraa dibaniif,
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]:
11 ati akka dallaan sun jigu warra nooraa itti diban sanatti himi. Bokkaan hamaan ni rooba; dhagaan cabbii ni buʼa; bubbeen jabaan ni bubbisa.
Say to them who daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].
12 Yeroo dallaan sun jigutti namoonni, “Nooraan isin itti dibdan sun eessa jira” jedhanii isin hin gaafatanii?
Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [it]?
13 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani dheekkamsa kootiin bubbee hamaa nan kaasa; aarii kootiinis dhagaa cabbii fi bokkaa hamaan badiisa fidu ni rooba.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].
14 Ani akka hundeen isaa qullaatti hafuuf dhagaa isin nooraa dibdan sana diigee lafaan wal nan qixxeessa. Yommuu inni jigutti isin isa keessatti ni barbadeeffamtu; akka ani Waaqayyo taʼes ni beektu.
So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
15 Dallaa sanaa fi warra nooraa itti dibanitti dheekkamsa koo nan roobsa. Anis akkana isiniin nan jedha; “Dallaan sunii fi warri dallaa sana nooraa diban sun ni badu;
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it;
16 raajonni Israaʼel kanneen Yerusaalemiif raajanii utuu nagaan hin jiraatin mulʼata nagaa isheef argan sunis ni badu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”’
[To wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
17 “Ammas yaa ilma namaa, fuula kee gara intallan saba keetii kanneen waanuma ofii yaadan raajaniitti deebifadhuutii isaaniin mormuudhaan raaji;
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
18 akkanas jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Dubartoota kiyyoo keessa nama galchuuf jedhanii manyʼee harka isaanii hundaaf kudhaama hodhatanii haguuggii garaa garaa mataa isaaniitti haguuggataniif wayyoo. Isin lubbuu saba koo kiyyoo keessa galchitanii kan ofii keessanii immoo oolfattuu?
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all arm-holes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] to you?
19 Isin garbuu konyee tokkoo fi buddeena cabaa tokkoof jettanii uummata koo gidduutti na xureessitaniirtu. Uummata koo isa soba keessan dhagaʼuttis sobuudhaan warra duʼuu hin qabne ajjeeftanii warra jiraachuu hin qabne immoo baraartaniirtu.
And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies?
20 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Kunoo, ani kudhaama keessan kan isin akkuma simbira kiyyeeffamtuutti uummata ittiin kiyyeessitanitti nan kaʼa; harka keessan irraas nan cira; uummata isin akkuma simbirri kiyyeeffamtutti kiyyeessitan sanas kiyyoo keessaa nan baasa.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, with which ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
21 Ani haguuggii keessan tarsaasee saba koo harka keessan keessaa nan baasa; isaan siʼachi harka keessan jalatti hin bulan. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
22 Ani isa dirqisiisuu baadhu iyyuu isin waan soba keessaniin nama qajeelaa dirqisiiftanii fi waan akka namni hamaan karaa isaa hamaa sana irraa deebiʼee lubbuu isaa oolfatuuf hin jajjabeessiniif,
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
23 isin siʼachi mulʼata sobaa hin argitan yookaan raajii sobaa hin dubbattan. Anis saba koo harka keessan keessaa nan baasa. Ergasiis isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’”
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
