Isaiah 55
1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!
“Isin warri dheebottan hundinuu kottaa; gara bishaanii kottaa; isin warri maallaqa hin qabne, kottaatii bitadhaa; nyaadhaas! Kottaatii maallaqaa fi gatii malee daadhii wayiniitii fi aannan bitadhaa.
2 Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.
Isin maaliif waan buddeena hin taʼinitti maallaqa baaftu? Waan nama hin quubsine irrattis maaliif humna keessan fixxu? Dhagaʼaa; na dhagaʼaa; waan gaarii nyaadhaa; lubbuun keessanis coomaan haa gammaddu.
3 Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant— My loving devotion promised to David.
Gurra naaf kennaatii gara koo kottaa; akka lubbuun keessan jiraattuufis na dhagaʼaa. Ani kakuu bara baraa isin wajjin nan gala; innis jaalala amanamaa isa Daawit abdachiifame sanaa dha;
4 Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.
kunoo ani sabootaaf dhuga baatuu isa godheera; hoogganaa fi ajajaa sabootaas isa taasiseera.
5 Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”
Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel sun, ulfina siif kenneef, ati dhugumaan saboota hin beekne ni waamta; saboonni si hin beeknes ariitiidhaan gara kee dhufu.”
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
Yeroo inni argamutti Waaqayyoon barbaaddadhaa; yeroo inni dhiʼoo jiruttis isa waammadhaa.
7 Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
Namni hamaan karaa isaa, namni jalʼaan immoo yaada isaa haa dhiisu. Inni gara Waaqayyootti haa deebiʼu; innis ni araaramaaf; gara Waaqa keenyaatti haa deebiʼu; dhiifamni isaa baayʼeedhaatii.
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,”
“Yaadni koo yaada keessan, karaan keessanis karaa koo miti” jedha Waaqayyo.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
“Akkuma samiiwwan lafa irraa ol fagaatan sana, karaan koo karaa keessan irraa, yaadni koos yaada keessan irraa ol fagoo dha.
10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
Akkuma bokkaa fi cabbiin samiidhaa roobu sana, akka lafti biqila biqilchitee isa facaafatuuf sanyii, isa nyaatuuf immoo buddeena kennituuf malee utuu ishee hin quubsin hin deebine sana,
11 so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
dubbiin koo kan afaan kootii baʼus fedhii koo raawwata; kaayyoo ani isa ergeefis galmaan gaʼa malee harka duwwaa gara kootti hin deebiʼu.
12 You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Isin gammachuudhaan baatu; nagaadhaan geggeeffamtu; tulluuwwanii fi gaarran, fuula keessan duratti ililchanii faarfatu; mukkeen dirree hundinuus harka walitti rukutu.
13 Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
Qooda qoraattii birbirsi, qooda sokorruus kusaayeen ni biqila. Kunis Waaqayyoof yaadannoo, mallattoo bara baraa kan hin badne taʼa.”
