< Isaiah 58 >

1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
“Guddisii iyyi; hin qusatin. Akkuma malakataa sagalee kee ol fudhadhu. Saba kootti fincila isaanii, mana Yaaqoobitti immoo cubbuu isaanii labsi.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that doeth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God; they ask of me the ordinances of righteousness, they take delight in approaching to God:
Isaan guyyuma guyyaan na barbaaduutii; isaan akkuma saba waan qajeelaa hojjetee ajajawwan Waaqa isaa hin dhiisin tokkootti waan karaa koo beekuu barbaadan fakkaatu. Isaan murtii qajeelaa na kadhatu; akka Waaqni isaanitti dhiʼaatus waan hawwan fakkaatu.
3 — Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest not; have afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find what pleaseth [you], and exact all your labours.
Isaanis, ‘Yoo ati waan kana hin argine, nu maaliif soomne? Yoo ati waan kana hin qalbeeffanne nu maaliif gad of qabne?’ jedhu. “Taʼus isin guyyaa sooma keessanii waan feetan gootan; hojjettoota keessan hundas ni hacuuccan.
4 Behold, ye have fasted for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye do not at present fast, to cause your voice to be heard on high.
Soomni keessan wal loluu fi wal qoccoluudhaan, aboottee hamminaatiin wal tumuudhaan raawwata. Soomni isin harʼa soomaa jirtan kun, akka sagaleen keessan gubbaatti dhagaʼamu hin godhu.
5 Is such the fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul, — that he should bow down his head as a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? Wilt thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable to Jehovah?
Soomni ani filadhe sooma akkanaatii? Namni tokko guyyuma tokko qofaaf gad of qabaa? Wanni kun akkuma dhallaadduu mataa gad qabachuu fi wayyaa gaddaatii fi daaraa irra ciisuu qofaafii? Wanni isin sooma jettaniin guyyaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti fudhatama qabu kanaa?
6 Is not this the fast which I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, and to send forth free the crushed, and that ye break every yoke?
“Soomni ani itti gammadu, kan foncaa jalʼinaa furu, kan funyoo waanjoo hiiku, kan cunqurfamtoota bilisa baasuu fi waanjoo hunda caccabsu mitii?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring to thy house the needy wanderers; when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Akka ati warra beelaʼaniif nyaata kee qoodduu fi akka hiyyeeyyii mana hin qabne mana keetti simattu, akka ati yeroo nama daare argitutti daara isa baaftuu fi akka nama foonii fi dhiiga kee taʼetti dugda hin galle mitii?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of Jehovah shall be thy rearguard.
Yoos ifni kee akka biiftuu ganamaa ni baʼa; fayyinni kees dafee ni dhufa; qajeelummaan kee fuula kee dura deema; ulfinni Waaqayyoo immoo duubaan si eega.
9 Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and the unjust speech,
Yeroo sana ati ni waammatta; Waaqayyos deebii siif kenna; ati gargaarsa barbaacha iyyatta; innis, ‘Ani asan jira’ siin jedha. “Ati yoo waanjoo cunqursaa, haasaʼa hamminaatii fi quba namatti qabuu of irraa fageessite,
10 and thou proffer thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in the darkness, and thine obscurity be as midday;
ati yoo warra beelaʼaniif nyaata kennite, warra rakkatanis rakkinaa baafte, ifni kee dukkana keessa ni ibsa; halkan kees akka guyyaa saafaa taʼa.
11 and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a water-spring, whose waters deceive not.
Waaqayyo yeroo hunda si geggeessa; inni lafa aduudhaan gubate keessatti iyyuu fedhii kee siif guuta; lafee kees ni jabeessa. Ati akka lafa biqiltuu bishaan quufee, akka burqaa hin gognees ni taata.
12 And they [that come] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations [that have remained] from generation to generation; and thou shalt be called, Repairer of the breaches, restorer of frequented paths.
Uummanni kee diigamaa durii deebisee ni ijaara; atis hundee dhaloota baayʼee ol kaasta; atis, Suphaa Dallaawwan Jijjiganii, Haaromsaa Daandiiwwan Jireenyaa jedhamtee waamamta.
13 If thou turn back thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy [day] of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [idle] words;
“Ati yoo miilla kee Sanbata cabsuu irraa eeggattee guyyaa koo qulqulluu waan jaallattu gochuu dhiifte, ati yoo Sanbataan, ‘Gammachuu’ guyyaa qulqullaaʼaa Waaqayyootiin immoo, ‘Kabajamaa’ jette, yoo daandii ofii keetii deemtuu fi yoo waan feete gochuu yookaan haasaa faayidaa hin qabne haasaʼuu baattee Sanbata ulfeessite,
14 then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah, and I will cause thee to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
yeroo sana Waaqayyotti ni gammadda; anis akka ati lafa ol dheeraa irra guluftu, dhaala abbaa kee Yaaqoob nyaattee akka quuftus sin taasisa.” Afaan Waaqayyoo dubbateeraatii.
