Isaiah 46
1 Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
Beel gad jedha; Neboo akka malee gugguufa; waaqonni isaanii tolfamoon kotte duudaa fi horiitti feʼamaniiru; fakkiiwwan isaan qabatanii jooran baʼaa dha; horii dadhabeef baʼaa dha.
2 They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
Isaan gugguufanii walii wajjin gad jedhu; baʼaa sana oolchuu hin dandaʼan; isaan iyyuu ni boojiʼamu.
3 Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
“Yaa mana Yaaqoob, isin hambaan mana Israaʼel hundi, warri ani gaafa isin gadameessa keessatti uumamtanii jalqabee ol isin qabee gaafa dhalattanii jalqabees isin baadhe hundi dhaggeeffadhaa.
4 Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
Hamma dulloomtanii arrii baaftanitti, ani isa; isuma isin jiraachisuu dha. Ani isin uumeera; isinan baadhas; ani isinan jiraachisa; isinan baraaras.
5 To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
“Isin eenyuun wal bira na qabdu yookaan eenyuun wal na qixxeessitu? Akka wal madaalluufis eenyutti na fakkeessitu?
6 You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
Namoonni tokko tokko korojoo isaanii keessaa warqee gad naqanii madaalliidhaan meetii madaalu; Waaqa tolfamaa tolchuuf jedhanii tumtuu warqee qacaru; isaanis gad jedhanii sagaduuf.
7 They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
Ol fuudhanii gatiittii isaaniitti ni baatu; iddoo isaatti ni deebisu; innis achi dhaabata. Inni iddoo sanaa sochoʼuu hin dandaʼu. Yoo namni gara isaatti iyye iyyuu, inni deebii hin kennu; inni rakkoo isaa keessaa isa baasuu hin dandaʼu.
8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
“Yaa finciltoota, waan kana yaadadhaa; qalbiittis qabadhaa; garaa keessan keessas kaaʼadhaa.
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
Wantoota darban kanneen bara durii yaadadhaa; ani Waaqa; kan biraa hin jiru; ani Waaqa; kan akka koo hin jiru.
10 From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
Ani dhuma waan tokkoo jalqabumatti nan labsa; waan amma iyyuu dhufuuf jiru, ani durumaa jalqabee dubbadheera. Ani, ‘Kaayoon koo cimee jiraata; waan na gammachiisu hundas nan hojjedha’ nan jedha.
11 I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
Baʼa biiftuutii allaattii waa adamsitu, lafa fagootii immoo nama kaayyoo koo fiixaan baasu nan waama. Ani waanan dubbadhe nan guuta; waanan karoorfadhes nan raawwadha.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
Yaa mata jabeeyyii, isin warri qajeelummaa irraa fagoo jirtan na dhaggeeffadhaa.
13 I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
Ani qajeelummaa koo nan dhiʼeessa; innis fagoo hin jiru; fayyisuun koos hin barfatu. Ani Xiyooniif fayyina, Israaʼeliif immoo ulfina koo nan kenna.
