< Anbaaqoom 2 >

1 Ani iddoo koo dhaabadhee dallaa eegumsaa irra nan tura; mee waan inni naan jedhu arguuf deebii ani guungummii kanaaf kennuu malu beekuuf nan ilaala.
I will stand firm during my watch, and fix my position over the fortification. And I will observe carefully, to see what might be said to me and what I might respond to my opponent.
2 Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana jedhee deebii kenne: “Akka namni dubbisu tokko qabatee fiiguuf, mulʼata sana ifa godhii gabatee irratti barreessi.
And the Lord responded to me and said: Write the vision and explain it on tablets, so that he who reads it may run through it.
3 Mulʼanni kun yeroo murtaaʼe tokko eeggataatii; inni waaʼee dhuma isaa dubbata malee hin sobu. Yoo tures isa eegi; inni dhugumaan ni dhufa; hin turus.
For as yet the vision is far off, and it will appear in the end, and it will not lie. If it expresses any delay, wait for it. For it is arriving and it will arrive, and it will not be hindered.
4 “Kunoo inni of bokokseera; hawwiin isaas sirrii miti; namni qajeelaan garuu amantii isaatiin jiraata;
Behold, he who is unbelieving, his soul will not be right within himself; but he who is just shall live in his faith.
5 dhugumaan inni daadhii wayiniitiin ni gowwoomfama; of tuula; boqonnaas hin qabu. Inni akkuma siiʼool sassata; akka duʼaas kan hin quufnee dha. Inni saboota hunda walitti qabata; uummata hundas boojiʼee fudhata. (Sheol h7585)
And in the manner that wine deceives the heavy drinker, so will the arrogant man be deceived, and he will not be honored. He has enlarged his life like hellfire, and himself like death, and he is never fulfilled. And he will gather to himself all nations, and he will amass for himself all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 “Isaan hundi isa tuffatanii itti kolfaa, “‘Nama miʼa hatame tuullatee saamichaan of sooromsuuf wayyoo! Wanni kun hamma yoomiitti itti fufa’ jedhanii itti hin qoosanii?
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and an enigmatic utterance about him? And it will be said, “Woe to him who increases what is not his own.” How long, then, will he lay down dense clay against himself?
7 Warri liqii sirraa qaban akkuma tasaa sitti hin kaʼanii? Isaan kaʼanii si hin hollachiisanii? Ergasii ati harka isaanii jala galta.
Shall they not suddenly rise up, who would bite you, and be stirred up, who would tear you, so that you will be a prey for them?
8 Sababii ati saba hedduu saamteef namoonni hafan si saamu. Ati dhiiga namaa dhangalaafteertaatii; ati biyyoota, magaalaawwanii fi namoota isaan keessa jiraatan hunda balleessiteerta.
Because you have despoiled many peoples, all those who are left of the people shall despoil you, because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth, of the city and all who dwell therein.
9 “Nama buʼaa hin malleen mana ijaarratu kan badiisa jalaa baʼuuf jedhee lafa ol kaʼaa irratti iddoo jireenyaa tolfatuuf wayyoo!
Woe to him who gathers together an evil greed for his house, so that his nest may be exalted, and thinking that he might free himself from the hand of evil.
10 Ati lubbuu nama baayʼee galaafachuudhaaf, waan nama qaanessu mana keetti malattee lubbuu keetti badiisa fidde.
You have devised confusion for your house, you have cut to pieces many peoples, and your soul has sinned.
11 Dhagaawwan keenyan keessaa iyyu; demdemoon mukaas jalaa qaba.
For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the wood that is between the joints of the building will respond.
12 “Nama dhiiga dhangalaasuudhaan magaalaa ijaaruuf, kan yakkaan magaalaa hundeessuuf wayyoo!
Woe to him who builds a town with blood and prepares a city by iniquity.
13 Akka dadhabbiin namaa akkuma qoraan ibiddaa taʼe, akka saboonnis akkasumaan of dadhabsiisan Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu murteesseera mitii?
Are not these things before the Lord of hosts? For the people will labor amid a great fire, and the nations will labor in emptiness, and they will fail.
14 Akkuma bishaan galaana guutu sana lafti ulfina Waaqayyoon beekuutiin guutamtiitii.
For the earth shall be filled, that they might know the glory of the Lord, like the waters spreading over the sea.
15 “Nama qullaa dhagna ollaa isaa ilaaluuf jedhee hamma inni machaaʼutti qalqalloo keessaa daadhii wayinii isaaf buusuuf wayyoo.
Woe to anyone who gives a drink to a friend, releasing a drug and inebriating, so as to look upon their nakedness.
16 Ati qooda ulfinaa qaaniidhaan guutamta. Amma dabareen kan kee ti! Akka qullaan kee mulʼatuuf dhugi. Xoofoon mirga Waaqayyoo sitti garagala; salphinnis ulfina kee haguuga.
You are filled with disgrace in place of glory. So then, drink and fall fast asleep, for the cup of the right hand of the Lord will surround you, and a disgraceful vomit will cover your glory.
17 Fincilli ati Libaanoonitti hojjete si liqimsa; horii fixuun kee si rifachiisa. Ati dhiiga namaa dhangalaafteertaatii; ati biyyoota, magaalaawwanii fi namoota isaan keessa jiraatan hunda balleessiteerta.
For the iniquity of Lebanon will cover you, and the devastation of animals which will deter them from the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth and the city, and of all who dwell therein.
18 “Waaqni tolfamaan ogeessa harkaatiin soofamu yookaan fakkiin soba barsiisu faayidaa maalii qaba? Namni isa tolchu tokko hojiidhuma harka isaa amanataatii; inni waaqota tolfamoo dubbachuu hin dandeenye tolcha.
Of what benefit is the graven image? For its maker has formed it, a molten and imaginary deception. For its maker has hoped in a figment of his own creation, so as to make a dumb likeness.
19 Nama mukaan, ‘Dammaqi!’ yookaan dhagaa lubbuu hin qabneen, ‘Kaʼi!’ jedhuuf wayyoo. Inni barsiisuu ni dandaʼaa? Kunoo inni warqee fi meetii dibameera; hafuurri tokko iyyuu isa keessa hin jiru.”
Woe to him who says to wood, “Awaken,” to the silent stone, “Arise.” Is it able to teach? Behold, it has been entirely covered with gold and silver; and there is no spirit at all in its inner workings.
20 Waaqayyo garuu mana qulqullummaa isaa qulqulluu sana keessa jira; lafti hundi fuula isaa duratti haa calʼistu.
But the Lord is in his holy temple. May all the earth be silent before his face.
