< Isaiah 62 >

1 I can't remain silent because of my love for Zion, I can't keep quiet because of my love for Jerusalem, until her integrity shines like a beam of light, until her salvation blazes like a burning torch.
Hamma qajeelummaan ishee akka barii barraaqaa, fayyinni ishee akka guca bobaʼuu ifutti, ani waaʼee Xiyoon hin calʼisu; waaʼee Yerusaalemis afaan hin qabadhu.
2 The nations will see the way you live right, and all the kings will see how you are blessed, and you will be called by a new name that the Lord gives you.
Saboonni qajeelummaa kee, mootonni hundinuus ulfina kee ni argu; ati maqaa haaraa, kan afaan Waaqayyoo siif baasuun ni waamamta.
3 You will be a crown of beauty in the Lord's hand; a royal head-dress in the hand of your God.
Ati harka Waaqayyoo keessatti gonfoo ulfinaa, harka Waaqa keetii keessattis marata mootii ni taata.
4 You won't be called Abandoned anymore; your land won't be called Desolate. Instead you will be called She Makes Me Happy, and your land will be called Married, because you make the Lord happy, and your land will be married.
Ati siʼachi, Gatamtuu hin jedhamtu, yookaan biyyi kee Ontuu hin jedhamtu. Ati garuu, “Ani isheetti nan gammada” jedhamta; biyyi kees “kan heerumte” jedhamti; Waaqayyo sitti gammadaatii, biyyi kee ni heerumti.
5 For just like a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and like a groom is happy with his bride, so your God will be happy with you.
Akkuma dargaggeessi durba fuudhu, ilmaan kee si fuudhu; akkuma misirrichi misirrittiitti gammadu, Waaqni kees sitti gammada.
6 I have placed watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they won't ever be silent, day or night. You who pray to the Lord, don't ever stop and take a rest.
Yaa Yerusaalem, ani dallaawwan kee irratti eegdota ramadeera; isaan gonkumaa halkanii fi guyyaa hin calʼisan. Isin warri Waaqayyoon waammattan, ofii keessaniif boqonnaa hin kenninaa;
7 Don't give the Lord a rest either, until he finishes his work, until he makes Jerusalem the most praiseworthy place on earth.
hamma inni Yerusaalemin cimsee ijaaree akka isheen lafa irratti leellifamtuu taatu godhutti boqonnaa isaaf hin kenninaa.
8 The Lord has made a solemn promise, swearing by his power and might: I won't ever again let your enemies have your grain to eat, or let foreigners drink the new wine you worked hard for.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee harka isaa mirgaatii fi irree isaa jabaa sanaan kakateera; “Ani lammata midhaan kee nyaata godhee diinota keetiif hin kennu; namoonni ormaas lammata daadhii wayinii haaraa kan ati itti dadhabde hin dhugan;
9 Instead, those who harvest the grain will eat it and praise the Lord, and those who harvest the grapes for the wine will drink it in the courts of my Temple.
garuu warri galfatan midhaan sana ni nyaatu; Waaqayyoonis ni galateeffatu; warri ija wayinii guurratanis oobdii iddoo qulqulluu koo keessatti ni dhugu.”
10 Exit! Exit through the gates! Clear the way for the people! Build the highway! Get rid of any rocks on the road! Lift up a flag so the nations can see!
Keessa darbaa; karrawwan keessaan darbaa! Uummataaf karaa qopheessaa. Tolchaa; karaa guddaa tolchaa! Dhagaawwan bubuqqisaa. Sabootaafis faajjii ol qabaa.
11 See! The Lord has announced to everyone on earth, Tell the Daughter of Zion: Look! Your Savior is coming. He's bringing his reward with him, coming to give his gift!
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee hamma moggaa lafaatti labseera; “Intala Xiyooniin akkana jedhaa: ‘Kunoo Fayyisaan kee ni dhufa! Badhaasni isaa kunoo isa harka jira; beenyaan inni namaaf baasus isuma wajjin jira.’”
12 They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called the Sought-After Place, A City No Longer Abandoned.
Isaanis Saba Qulqulluu, Furamtoota Waaqayyoo jedhamanii ni waamamu; atis barbaadamtuu, Magaalaa Siʼachi Hin Onne ni jedhamta.
