< Isaiah 51 >

1 Give ear to me, you that follow that which is just, and you that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you are dug out.
“Isin warri qajeelummaa duukaa buutan, warri Waaqayyoon barbaaddan na dhaggeeffadhaa: Isin kattaa irraa argamtan, boolla keessaa baafamtan sana ilaalaa.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and to Sara that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.
Abbaa keessan Abrahaamii fi Saaraa ishee isin deesse sana ilaalaa. Yeroo ani isa waametti, inni tokkicha ture; ani isa nan eebbise; nan baayʼises.
3 The Lord therefore will comfort Sion, and will comfort all the ruins thereof: and he will make her desert as a place of pleasure, and her wilderness as the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of praise.
Waaqayyo dhugumaan Xiyoonin ni jajjabeessa; diigama ishee hundas gara laafinaan ni ilaala; inni gammoojjii ishee goggogaa akka Eeden, lafa onaa ishees akka iddoo biqiltuu Waaqayyoo ni godha. Ililchuu fi gammaduun, galannii fi sagaleen faarfannaa ishee keessatti argama.
4 Hearken unto me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my tribes: for a law shall go forth from me, and my judgment shall rest to be a light of the nations.
“Yaa uummata koo na dhaggeeffadhaa; yaa saba koo na dhagaʼaa; seerri na biraa baʼa; murtiin koos sabootaaf ifa taʼa.
5 My just one is near at hand, my saviour is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people: the islands shall look for me, and shall patiently wait for my arm.
Qajeelummaan koo dafee dhiʼaata; fayyisuun koos dhufaa jira; irreen koo moototaaf murtii qajeelaa fida; biyyoonni bishaan gidduu na eeggatu; irree koos ni abdatu.
6 Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish like smoke, and the earth shall be worn away like a garment, and the inhabitants thereof shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice shall not fail.
Ija keessan gara samiiwwaniitti ol qabadhaa; lafas gad ilaalaa; samiiwwan akkuma aaraa ni badu; lafti akkuma wayyaa moofofti. Jiraattonni ishees akkuma tisiisaa ni duʼan. Fayyisuun koo garuu bara baraan jiraata; qajeelummaan koos hin badu.
7 Hearken to me, you that know what is just, my people who have my law in your heart: fear ye not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their blasphemies.
“Isin warri waan qajeelaa beektan namoonni seera koo garaa keessaa qabdan na dhagaʼaa; tuffii namootaa hin sodaatinaa; yookaan arrabsoo isaaniitiin hin raafaminaa.
8 For the worm shall eat them up as a garment: and the moth shall consume them as wool: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice from generation to generation,
Biliin akka wayyaatti isaan nyaatti; raammoonis akkuma rifeensa hoolaatti isaan fixxi. Garuu qajeelummaan koo bara baraan, fayyisuun koos dhalootaa gara dhalootaatti itti fufa.”
9 Arise, arise, put on strength, O thou arm of the Lord, arise as in the days of old, in the ancient generations. Hast not thou struck the proud one, and wounded the dragon?
Yaa irree Waaqayyoo, kaʼi; kaʼi! Jabina uffadhu; akkuma baroota darbanii, akkuma dhaloota durii keessatti taʼe sana kaʼi. Kan Raʼaabin kukkute, kan jawwee galaanaa waraane sun suma mitii?
10 Hast not thou dried up the sea, the water of the mighty deep, who madest the depth of the sea a way, that the delivered might pass over?
Inni akka warri furaman ceʼaniif, galaanicha, bishaan tuujuba guddichaa gogse, kan dhidhima galaanaa keessaan karaa baase suma mitii?
11 And now they that are redeemed by the Lord, shall return, and shall come into Sion singing praises, and joy everlasting shall be upon their heads, they shall obtain joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Warri Waaqayyo isaan fure ni deebiʼu. Isaan faarfannaadhaan Xiyoon seenu; gammachuun bara baraa mataa isaanii irra jiraata. Isaan gammachuu fi ililleedhaan guutamu; gaddii fi booʼichi isaan irraa fagaatu.
12 I, I myself will comfort you: who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man, and of the son of man, who shall wither away like grass?
“Kan isin jajjabeessu ana; anuma. Yoos maaliif namoota duʼa hin oolle, ilmaan namaa kanneen akkuma margaa taʼan sodaattu ree?
13 And thou hast forgotten the Lord thy maker, who stretched out the heavens, and founded the earth: and thee hast been afraid continually all the day at the presence of his fury who afflicted thee, and had prepared himself to destroy thee: where is now the fury of the oppressor?
Ati kan Waaqayyo Tolchaa kee, isa samiiwwan diriirsee hundee lafaa buuse sana dagattu eenyu? Ati kan sababii dheekkamsa cunqursaa waa balleessuuf qophaaʼe sanaatiif utuu gargar hin kutin guyyaa guyyaan sodaattu eenyu? Yoos dheekkamsi cunqursaa sanaa meerree?
14 He shall quickly come that is going to open unto you, and he shall not kill unto utter destruction, neither shall his bread fail.
Boojiʼamtoonni hidhaman ariitiidhaan gad dhiifamu; isaan boolla itti hidhaman keessatti hin duʼan yookaan buddeena hin dhaban.
15 But I am the Lord thy God, who trouble the sea, and the waves thereof swell: the Lord of hosts is my name.
Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan akka dhaʼaan bishaanii huursuuf galaana raasuu dha; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
16 I have put my words in thy mouth, and have protected thee in the shadow of my hand, that thou mightest plant the heavens, and found the earth: and mightest say to Sion: Thou art my people.
Ani kan samiiwwan iddoo isaanii kaaʼe, kan hundee lafaa hundeessee Xiyooniin, ‘Ati saba koo ti’ jedhe sun, dubbii koo afaan kee keessa kaaʼeera; gaaddidduu harka kootiinis si haguugeera.”
17 Arise, arise, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunk even to the bottom of the cup of dead sleep, and thou hast drunk even to the dregs.
Yaa Yerusaalem, ati kan harka Waaqayyoo irraa, xoofoo dheekkamsa isaa keessaa dhugde, ati kan xoofoo dhugaatii nama gatantarsuu keessaa siicoo isaa xuruurfattee dhugde, dammaqi, dammaqi! Ol kaʼi.
18 There is none that can uphold her among all the children that she hath brought forth: and there is none that taketh her by the hand among all the children that she hath brought up.
Ilmaan isheen deesse hunda keessaa, kan ishee qajeelchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; ilmaan isheen guddifte hunda keessaas, kan harka ishee qabu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
19 There are two things that have happened to thee: who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword, who shall comfort thee?
Balaawwan kunneen dachaadhaan sitti dhufaniiru; egaa eenyutu si jajjabeessuu dandaʼa? Diigamnii fi badiisni, beellii fi goraadeen sitti dhufaniiru; eegaa eenyutu si jajjabeessuu dandaʼa?
20 Thy children are cast forth, they have slept at the head of all the ways, as the wild ox that is snared: full of the indignation of the Lord, of the rebuke of thy God.
Ijoolleen kee gaggabaniiru; akkuma borofa kiyyoon qabame tokkoo, roga karaa irra ciciisu. Isaan dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiin, ifata Waaqa keetiinis guutamaniiru.
21 Therefore hear this, thou poor little one, and thou that art drunk but no with wine.
Kanaafuu yaa ishee miidhamte, kan utuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugin machoofte, waan kana dhagaʼi.
22 Thus saith thy Sovereign the Lord and thy God, who will fight for his people: Behold I have taken out of thy hand the cup of dead sleep, the dregs of the cup of my indignation, thou shalt not drink it again any more.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan kee, Waaqni kee inni saba isaa eegu akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani xoofoo dhugaatii nama gatantarsu harka keetii fuudheera; ati siʼachi xoofoo dheekkamsa koo keessaa deebitee hin dhugdu.
23 And I will put it in the hand of them that have oppressed thee, and have said to thy soul: Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as a way to them that went over.
Anis xoofoo sana harka warra si dhiphisan kanneen, ‘Akka nu sirra yaanuuf, lafa irra diriirfami’ siin jedhan sanaa keessa nan kaaʼa. Ati immoo dugda kee akkuma lafaa, akkuma daandii namni irra deemuu goote.”
