Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Mulʼata Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos bara bulchiinsa Uziyaan, bara Yootaam, bara Aahaazii fi bara Hisqiyaas keessa waaʼee Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem arge.
2 Hear, [ye] heavens, and give ear, [thou] earth! for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children; and they have rebelled against me.
Yaa Samiiwwan dhagaʼaa! Yaa lafa dhaggeeffadhu! Waaqayyo akkana jedhee dubbateeraatii: “Ani ijoollee horadheen guddifadhe; isaan garuu natti fincilaniiru.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence.
Qotiyyoon gooftaa isaa, harreenis gola gooftaa isaa ni beeka; Israaʼel garuu hin beeku; sabni koo hin hubatu.”
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward.
Yaa saba cubbamaa, uummata balleessaan itti baayʼate, ilmaan warra waan hamaa hojjetuu, ijoollee xuraaʼummaadhaan guutamte isiniif wayyoo! Isaan Waaqayyoon dhiisaniiru; Qulqullicha Israaʼel sana tuffatanii dugda isaanii itti garagalfataniiru.
5 Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Isin siʼachi maaliif rukutamtu? Maaliif fincila keessa jiraatu? Mataan keessan guutuun miidhameera; garaan keessan guutuunis dadhabeera.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in him; wounds, and weals, and open sores: they have not been dressed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.
Faana miilla keessaniitii hamma gubbee mataa keessaniitti, fayyaa hin qabdan; madaa fi dirmammuun, madaan dhiigu, kan hin qulqulloofne yookaan hin maramne yookaan zayitiidhaan hin laafne.
7 Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers eat it up in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Biyyi keessan duwwaa hafteerti; magaalaawwan keessan ibiddaan gubamaniiru; alagoonni fuuluma keessan duratti lafa qotiisaa keessan saamu; akkuma waan ormi ishee saameettis onti.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city.
Intalli Xiyoon akkuma daʼannoo iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessaatti, akkuma daasii lafa qotiisa buqqee keessaatti, akkuma magaalaa marfame tokkootti dhiifamti.
9 Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Utuu Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hambaa muraasa nuuf hambisuu baatee, nu silaa akkuma Sodoom taanee, Gomoraas fakkaanna turre.
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah!
Yaa bulchitoota Sodoom dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa; yaa saba Gomoraa, Seera Waaqa keenyaa dhaggeeffadhaa!
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Baayʼinni aarsaa keessanii anaaf maali?” Ani aarsaa gubamu kan korbeeyyii hoolaatii fi horii gabbifamanii baayʼeen qaba; ani dhiiga korommii looniitti, kan xobbaallaawwan hoolaattii fi reʼeetti hin gammadu.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand — to tread my courts?
Isin yommuu fuula koo duratti mulʼachuuf dhuftan, akka oobdii koo dhidhiittan eenyutu isin irraa barbaade?
13 Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, — new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations — wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.
Kennaa faayidaa hin qabne fiduu dhiisaa! Ixaanni keessan na jibbisiisa. Ayyaana Baatii, Sanbataa fi yaaʼii keessan jechuunis wal gaʼii keessan hamaa sana ani hin fedhu.
14 Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing [them].
Ayyaana Baatii keessanii fi ayyaanota keessan bebbeekamoo lubbuun koo ni jibbiti. Isaan baʼaa natti taʼaniiru; anis obsuu dadhabeera.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Yeroo isin kadhannaaf harka keessan balʼifattan, ani ija koo isinan dhokfadha; yoo isin kadhaa baayʼee kadhattan illee ani hin dhaggeeffadhu. Harki keessan dhiigaan guutameera!
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; — cease to do evil,
Dhiqadhaatii of qulqulleessaa. Hojii keessan hamaa sana fuula koo duraa balleessaa! Yakka hojjechuus dhiisaa;
17 learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.
waan qajeelaa hojjechuu baradhaa! Murtii qajeelaa barbaadaa; warra hacuucame jajjabeessaa. Ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef falmaa; haadha hiyyeessaatiif dhaabadhaa.
18 Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Kottaa wal qorraa; cubbuun keessan yoo akka bildiimaa taʼe iyyuu, inni addaatee akka cabbii ni taʼa; yoo akka alalaa diimate iyyuu, akka suufii ni addaata.
19 If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;
Isin yoo fedhii qabaattanii ajajamtan, waan lafti baaftu filatamaa ni nyaattu;
20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
garuu yoo diddanii finciltan goraadeetu isin nyaata.” Afaan Waaqayyoo waan kana dubbateeraatii.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers.
Akka magaalaan amanamtuun sun sagaagaltuu taate ilaalaa! Isheen dur murtii qajeelaadhaan guutamtee qajeelummaan ishee keessa jiraata ture; amma immoo namoota nama ajjeesantu ishee keessa jiraata!
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water:
Meetiin kee ligidaaʼeera; daadhiin wayinii kee filatamaan bishaaniin makameera.
23 thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.
Bulchitoonni kee finciltoota; michuu hattuuwwanii ti; isaan hundinuu mattaʼaa jaallatu; kennaas akka malee barbaadu. Isaan ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef hin falman; himata haadha hiyyeessaa hin dhaggeeffatan.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Jabaan Israaʼel sun akkana jedha: “Ani amajaajota koo irraa boqonnaa nan argadha; diinota koos haaloo nan baafadha.
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;
Ani harka koo sitti nan deebisa; ligidaaʼummaa kees akka malutti sirraa nan haqa; xurii kee hundas sirraa nan balleessa.
26 and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.
Ani akkuma bara durii abbootii murtii iddootti, akkuma jalqabaatti gorsitoota kee illee siifin deebisa. Ergasii ati magaalaa qajeelummaa, magaalaa amanamtuu jedhamtee ni waamamta.”
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.
Xiyoon murtii qajeelaadhaan, qalbii jijjiirrattoonni ishee immoo qajeelummaadhaan furamu.
28 But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
Finciltoonnii fi cubbamoonni garuu ni caccabu; warri Waaqayyoon dhiisanis ni badu.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen.
“Isin sababii muka qilxuu itti gammaddan sanaatiif ni qaanoftu; sababii iddoo biqiltuu filattan sanaatiif immoo ni salphattu.
30 For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
Isin akka qilxuu baalli irraa harcaʼee, akka iddoo biqiltuu bishaan hin qabnee ni taatu.
31 And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench [them].
Namni jabaan akkuma huubaa, hojiin isaas akkuma qaanqee taʼa; isaan lachuu walumaan gubatu; namni ibidda sana dhaamsus hin jiru.”
