Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, will your God say.
Jajjabeessaa; saba koo jajjabeessaa; jedha Waaqni keessan.
2 Speake comfortably to Ierusalem, and crye vnto her, that her warrefare is accomplished, that her iniquitie is pardoned: for she hath receiued of the Lords hand double for all her sinnes.
Garaa Yerusaalemitti dubbadhaa; hojiin garbummaa ishee akka dhume, gatiin cubbuu ishee akka baafameef, isheen cubbuu ishee hundaaf harka Waaqayyootii adabbii dachaa akka fudhatte isheetti labsaa.
3 A voyce cryeth in the wildernesse, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make streight in the desert a path for our God.
Sagalee akkana jedhee iyyu tokko: “Gammoojjii keessatti Waaqayyoof karaa qopheessaa; gammoojjii keessatti Waaqa keenyaaf karaa guddicha qajeelchaa.
4 Euery valley shall be exalted, and euery mountaine and hill shall be made lowe: and the crooked shalbe streight, and the rough places plaine.
Sululli hundi ni guutama; tulluu fi gaarri hundinuus gad deebifama; lafti wal caalu, wal qixxeeffama; lafti buʼaa baʼiinis dirree taʼa.
5 And the glory of the Lord shalbe reueiled, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Ulfinni Waaqayyoo ni mulʼata; sanyiin namaa hundinuus tokkummaadhaan ni arga. Afaan Waaqayyoo dubbateeraatii.”
6 A voyce saide, Crie. And he saide, What shall I crie? All flesh is grasse, and all the grace thereof is as the floure of the fielde.
Sagaleen tokko “Iyyi” jedha. Anis, “Maal jedheen iyya?” nan jedhe. “Namni hundi akkuma margaa ti; ulfinni isaa hundis akkuma daraaraa dirree ti.
7 The grasse withereth, the floure fadeth, because the Spirite of the Lord bloweth vpon it: surely the people is grasse.
Sababii hafuurri Waaqayyo baafatu isaanitti bubbisuuf margi ni coollaga; daraaraanis ni harcaʼa. Dhugumaan namni marguma.
8 The grasse withereth, the floure fadeth: but the worde of our God shall stand for euer.
Margi ni coollaga; daraaraanis ni harcaʼa; dubbiin Waaqa keenyaa garuu bara baraan ni jiraata.”
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee vp into the hie mountaine: O Ierusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift vp thy voyce with strength: lift it vp, be not afraide: say vnto the cities of Iudah, Beholde your God.
Ati kan Xiyooniif oduu gaarii fiddu, tulluu dheeraatti ol baʼi. Ati kan Yerusaalemiif oduu gaarii fiddu, sagalee kee ol fudhuutii iyyi; ol fudhadhuu iyyi; hin sodaatin; magaalaawwan Yihuudaatiinis, “Waaqni keessan kunoo ti!” jedhi.
10 Beholde, the Lord God will come with power, and his arme shall rule for him: beholde, his rewarde is with him, and his worke before him,
Kunoo, Waaqayyo Gooftaan humnaan ni dhufa; irreen isaa jabaadhaanis ni bulcha. Kunoo, gatiin isaa isa wajjin jira; gatiin inni namaaf kennu isuma harka jira.
11 He shall feede his flocke like a shepheard: he shall gather the lambes with his arme, and cary them in his bosome, and shall guide them with young.
Inni akkuma tiksee tokkootti bushaayee isaa tikfata; xobbaallaawwan hoolaas irree isaatiin walitti qaba; ofitti qabees qoma isaatti hammata; haadhota hoolotaa warra hoosisanis suutuma oofa.
12 Who hath measured the waters in his fist? and counted heauen with the spanne, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure? and weighed ye mountaines in a weight, and the hilles in a balance?
Bishaanota konyee isaatiin kan safare yookaan samiiwwan taakkuu isaatiin kan safare eenyu? Biyyoo lafaa safartuudhaan walitti kan qabe yookaan tulluuwwan madaaliidhaan gaarran immoo madaaliidhaan kan madaale eenyu?
13 Who hath instructed ye Spirit of the Lord? or was his counseler or taught him?
Eenyutu Hafuura Waaqayyoo qajeelchuu dandaʼe? Yookaan namni gorsaa isaa taʼee isa barsiise eenyu?
14 Of whom tooke he counsell, and who instructed him and taught him in the way of iudgement? or taught him knowledge, and shewed vnto him the way of vnderstanding?
Waaqayyo hubannaa argachuuf eenyun gorsa gaafate? Daandii qajeelaas eenyutu isa barsiise? Eenyutu beekumsa isaaf kennee yookaan daandii hubannaa isa argisiise?
15 Beholde, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the dust of the balance: beholde, he taketh away the yles as a litle dust.
Dhugumaan saboonni akkuma copha baaldii keessaa ti; isaan akkuma awwaara madaalii irra jiruutti ilaalamu; inni biyyoota bishaan gidduu illee akkuma biyyoo bullaaʼaatti madaala.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient for fire, nor the beastes thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
Libaanoon qoraan iddoo aarsaatiif gaʼu hin qabdu, yookaan horiin ishee aarsaa gubamuuf hin gaʼan.
17 All nations before him are as nothing, and they are counted to him, lesse then nothing, and vanitie.
Fuula isaa duratti saboonni hundinuu wayittuu hin lakkaaʼaman; isaan akka ilaalcha isaatti homaattuu hin hedaman; gatiis hin qaban.
18 To whom then wil ye liken God? or what similitude will ye set vp vnto him?
Yoos Waaqa eenyutti fakkeessitu? Fakkii kam wajjin isa wal bira qabdu?
19 The workeman melteth an image, or the goldsmith beateth it out in golde, or the goldesmith maketh siluer plates.
Waaqa tolfamaa tumtuu sibiilaatu baqsee tolcha; tumtuun warqees warqee itti uffisa; foncaa meetiitiinis ni miidhagsa.
20 Doeth not the poore chuse out a tree that will not rot, for an oblation? he seeketh also vnto him a cunning workeman, to prepare an image, that shall not be moued.
Hiyyeessi aarsaa akkasii dhiʼeessuu hin dandeenye tokko muka hin tortorre filata. Waaqa tolfamaa hin jigne dhaabuufis nama ogummaa hojii harkaa qabu barbaaddata.
21 Know ye nothing? haue ye not heard it? hath it not bene tolde you from the beginning? haue ye not vnderstand it by the foundation of the earth?
Isin hin beektanii? Isin hin dhageenyee? Wanni kun jalqabumaa kaasee isinitti hin himamnee? Isin erga lafti hundeeffamtee jalqabee hin hubannee?
22 He sitteth vpon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grashoppers, hee stretcheth out ye heauens, as a curtaine, and spreadeth them out, as a tent to dwell in.
Inni geengoo lafaatii ol taaʼa; uummanni lafaas akkuma korophisaa ti. Inni samiiwwan akkuma golgaatti diriirsa; akka dunkaana keessa jiraataniittis isaan diriirsa.
23 He bringeth the princes to nothing, and maketh the iudges of the earth, as vanitie,
Inni ilmaan moototaa faayidaa dhabsiisa; bulchitoota addunyaas harka duwwaa hambisa.
24 As though they were not plated, as though they were not sowen, as though their stocke tooke no roote in the earth: for he did euen blow vpon them, and they withered, and the whirlewinde will take them away as stubble.
Akkuma isaan dhaabamaniin, akkuma isaan facaafamaniin, akkuma isaan lafa keessatti hidda yaafataniin, inni isaanitti bubbise; isaanis ni coollagan; obombolettiinis akkuma habaqiitti isaan haxaaʼe.
25 To whom nowe will ye liken me, that I should be like him, saith the Holy one?
“Isin eenyutti na fakkeessitu? Yookaan eenyutu anaan qixxaata?” jedha Qulqullichi.
26 Lift vp your eyes on hie, and beholde who hath created these things, and bringeth out their armies by nomber, and calleth them all by names? by the greatnesse of his power and mightie strength nothing faileth.
Ija keessan ol fudhadhaatii samiiwwan ilaalaa: Eenyutu kanneen hunda uume? Isa tuuta urjiiwwanii tokko tokkoon fidee tokkoo tokkoo isaanii maqaa maqaadhaan waamu sanaa dha. Sababii humna isaa cimaa sanaatii fi jabina isaa guddaa sanaatiif isaan keessaa tokko iyyuu hin dhabamu.
27 Why sayest thou, O Iaakob, and speakest O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my iudgement is passed ouer of my God?
Yaa Yaaqoob, yaa Israaʼel, ati maaliif, “Karaan koo Waaqayyo duraa dhokateera; haajaan koos fuula Waaqa koo duratti tuffatameera” jettee guungumta?
28 Knowest thou not? or hast thou not heard, that the euerlasting God, the Lord hath created the endes of the earth? he neither fainteth, nor is wearie: there is no searching of his vnderstanding.
Ati hin beektuu? Ati hin dhageenyee? Waaqayyo Waaqa bara baraa ti; inni Uumaa handaara lafaa ti. Inni hin dadhabu yookaan haara hin galfatu; hubannaa isaas kan qoree bira gaʼu hin jiru.
29 But he giueth strength vnto him that fainteth, and vnto him that hath no strength, he encreaseth power.
Inni dadhabdootaaf jabina kenna; nama laafaaf immoo humna dabala.
30 Euen the yong men shall faint, and be wearie, and the yong men shall stumble and fall.
Ijoolleen iyyuu ni dadhabu; ni bututus; dargaggoonnis gufatanii kufu;
31 But they that waite vpon the Lord, shall renue their strength: they shall lift vp the wings as the eagles: they shall runne, and not be wearie, and they shall walke and not faint.
Warri Waaqayyoon abdatan garuu humna isaanii ni haaromfatu. Isaan akkuma risaa qoochoodhaan barrisu; ni fiigu; hin dadhaban; ni deemu; hin bututan.
