Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
Bara sana faarfannaan kun biyya Yihuudaa keessatti faarfatama: Nu magaalaa jabaa qabna; Waaqnis fayyina, dallaa eegumsa isheetii fi daʼannoo ishee taasisa.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
Akka sabni qajeelaan, sabni amanamummaadhaan jiraatu ol seenuuf, karrawwan banaa.
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
Inni sitti irkateeraatii, nama yaadni garaa isaa si wajjin jiru, ati nagaa hirʼina hin qabneen isa eegda.
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
Sababii Waaqayyo, Waaqayyo mataan isaa, Kattaa bara baraa taʼeef, bara baraan Waaqayyoon amanadhaa.
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
Inni warra iddoo ol kaʼaa irra jiraatan gad qaba; magaalaa tabba irra jirtu gad buusa; lafatti gatees awwaaratti ishee maka.
6 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
Miilli, miilli warra hacuucamee, faanni hiyyeeyyii ishee dhidhiita.
7 The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
Daandiin nama qajeelaa wal qixxaataa dha; yaa Isa Tolaa, ati qajeeltotaaf karaa baafta.
8 And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
Yaa Waaqayyo, nu karaa seera keetii irra deemaa si eegganna, maqaan keetii fi beekamuun kee hawwii garaa keenyaa ti.
9 My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
Halkan lubbuun koo si yaaddi; ganamas hafuurri koo baayʼisee si barbaada. Yeroo murtiin kee gara lafaa dhufutti, uummanni addunyaa qajeelummaa barata.
10 Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.
Namni hamaan gara laafinni godhamuuf iyyuu, qajeelummaa hin baratu; biyya qajeelummaan jirutti iyyuu inni ittuma fufee jalʼina hojjeta; surraa Waaqayyoos hin hubatu.
11 Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
Yaa Waaqayyo, harki kee ol kaafameera; isaan garuu isa hin argan. Isaan hinaaffaa ati saba keetiif qabdu arganii haa qaanaʼan; ibiddi diinota keetiif kuufame sun isaan haa balleessu.
12 Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati nagaa nuuf kenniteerta; ati hojii keenya hunda nuuf hojjetteertaatii.
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya, si malee gooftonni biraa nu bulchaniiru; nu garuu maqaa kee qofa ulfeessina.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
Isaan amma duʼaniiru; siʼachi hin jiraatan; isaan gaaddidduu dha; deebiʼaniis hin kaʼan. Ati isaan adabde; isaan balleessites; yaadannoo isaanii hundas ni barbadeessite.
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati saba baayʼisteerta; ati saba baayʼisteerta; ati ofii keetiif ulfina argatteerta; daarii biyyaa hunda balʼifteerta.
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
Yaa Waaqayyo, isaan yeroo dhiphinaatti si barbaaddatan; yeroo ati isaan adabdetti isaan kadhannaa gad roobsan.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
Akkuma dubartiin ulfaa yeroo daʼuu geessutti, ciniinsuudhaan wixxirfattee iyyitu sana, yaa Waaqayyo, nus fuula kee duratti akkasuma taaneerra.
18 We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
Nu ulfoofnee, ciniinsuudhaan wixxirfanne; nu garuu bubbee deenye. Nu lafaaf fayyina hin fidne; nu uummata addunyaa hin deenye.
19 Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
Garuu namoonni kee kanneen duʼan ni jiraatu; dhagni isaaniis duʼaa ni kaʼa. Isin warri biyyoo keessa jiraattan, dammaqaatii gammachuudhaan ililchaa. Fixeensi kee akkuma fixeensa ganamaa ti; laftis warra duʼan of keessaa baafti.
20 Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
Yaa saba ko, kutaa mana keetti ol galiitii duubaan balbala ofitti cufi; hamma dheekkamsi isaa darbutti, yeroo muraasaaf of dhoksi.
21 For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
Kunoo, Waaqayyo sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif uummata lafa irraa adabuuf iddoo jireenya isaatii baʼee dhufaa jira. Lafti dhiiga ishee irratti dhangalaafame sana ifa baafti; siʼachi warra ishee irratti qalaman hin dhoksitu.
