Isaiah 45
1 Thus saith the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and that the gates may not be shut:
“Waaqayyo dibamaa isaa Qiiros, kan ani saboota isa jalatti bulchuu fi hidhannaa moototaa hiiksisuuf jedhee harka isaa mirgaa qabee akka karrawwan hin cufamneef, balbalawwan banuuf sanaan akkana jedha:
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron;
Ani fuula kee dura deemee tulluuwwan wal nan qixxeessa; karrawwan naasii nan caccabsa; danqaraawwan sibiilaas nan kukkuta.
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I am the LORD, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.
Ati akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel isa maqaa keetiin si waamu taʼe akka beektuuf, ani badhaadhummaa dukkana keessaa, qabeenya lafa dhoksaatti kuufames siif nan kenna.
4 For the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel Mine elect, I have called thee by thy name, I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me.
Ati na beekuu baattu iyyuu, ani garbicha koo Yaaqoobiif, Israaʼel filatamaa kootiif jedhee maqaa keetiin si waameera; maqaa ulfinaas siif kenneera.
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, beside Me there is no God; I have girded thee, though thou hast not known Me;
Ani Waaqayyo; ana malee kan biraa hin jiru; ana malee Waaqni tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Ati na beekuu baattu iyyuu, ani sin jabeessa;
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me; I am the LORD; and there is none else;
Kunis akka namoonni baʼa biiftuutii hamma lixa biiftuutti, ana malee kan biraa akka hin jirre beekaniif. Ani Waaqayyo; ana malee tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
7 I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD, that doeth all these things.
Ani ifa nan tolcha; dukkanas nan uuma; badhaadhummaa nan fida; balaas nan uuma; ani Waaqayyo wantoota kanneen hunda nan godha.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, that they may bring forth salvation, and let her cause righteousness to spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
“Yaa samiiwwan, isin ol gubbaadhaa qajeelummaa roobsaa; duumessoonnis gad coccobsaa. Lafti haa banamtu; fayyinni haa biqilu; qajeelummaanis isa wajjin haa guddatu; ani Waaqayyo waan kana uumeera.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker, as a potsherd with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it: 'What makest thou?' Or: 'Thy work, it hath no hands'?
“Qiraacii qiraaciidhuma lafaa taʼee Uumaa isaatiin wal loluuf wayyoo. Supheen, suphee dhooftuudhaan, ‘Ati maal hojjechaa jirta?’ jedhaa? Hojiin ati hojjettus, ‘Inni harka hin qabu’ siin jedhaa?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father: 'Wherefore begettest thou?' Or to a woman: 'Wherefore travailest thou?'
Nama Abbaadhaan, ‘Ati maal dhalchite?’ yookaan haadhaan, ‘Ati maal deesse?’ jedhuuf wayyoo.
11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask Me of the things that are to come; concerning My sons, and concerning the work of My hands, command ye Me.
“Waaqayyo, Qulqullichi Israaʼel Uumaan ishee sun akkana jedha: Isin waaʼee wantoota dhufuuf jiranii jechuunis, ‘Waaʼee ijoollee koo na gaafadhaa; yookaan waaʼee hojii harka koo na ajajaa.’
12 I, even I, have made the earth, and created man upon it; I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Kan lafa tolchee namas ishee irratti uume ana. Harki koo samiiwwan diriirseera; raayyaa isaanii hundas ajajeera.
13 I have roused him up in victory, and I make level all his ways; he shall build My city, and he shall let Mine exiles go free, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
Ani qajeelummaa kootiin Qiirosin ol nan kaasa: Karaa isaa hundas wal nan qixxeessa. Inni magaalaa koo deebisee ijaara; boojiʼamtoota koos bilisa baasa; garuu gatiidhaan yookaan badhaasaan miti, jedha Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.”
14 Thus saith the LORD: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine; they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee: Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, there is no other God.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Qabeenyi Gibxii fi daldalli Itoophiyaa, namoonni dhedheeroon Saabaa, gara kee ni dhufu; kan kees ni taʼu; isaan foncaadhaan hidhamanii dugda duubaan si duukaa buʼu. Fuula kee durattis gad jedhanii ‘Dhugumaan Waaqni si wajjin jira; isa malees tokko iyyuu hin jiru; isa malees Waaqni biraa hin jiru’ jedhanii si kadhatu.”
15 Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
Yaa Waaqi, Fayyisaa Israaʼel, ati dhugumaan Waaqa of dhoksituu dha.
16 They shall be ashamed, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go in confusion together that are makers of idols.
Warri waaqota tolfamoo tolchan hundinuu ni qaanaʼu; ni salphatu; walii wajjinis salphina keessa buʼu.
17 O Israel, that art saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
Israaʼel garuu fayyina bara baraatiin Waaqayyo ni fayyifama; isin bara baraan hin qaanoftan; yookaan hin salphattan.
18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens, He is God; that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; kan samiiwwan uume, inni Waaqa; inni lafa miidhagsee tolchee ishee hundeesse; inni akka isheen iddoo jireenyaa taatuuf ishee uume malee akka isheen ona taatuuf ishee hin uumne; inni akkana jedha; “Ani Waaqayyo; ana malee kan biraa hin jiru.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob: 'Seek ye Me in vain'; I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Ani biyya dukkanaa keessaa dhoksaadhaan hin dubbanne; ani sanyiiwwan Yaaqoobiin, ‘Akkasumaan na barbaadaa’ hin jenne. Ani Waaqayyo dhugaa nan dubbadha; waan qajeelaas nan labsa.
20 Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations; they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
“Walitti qabamaa kottaa; isin baqattoonni sabootaa wal gaʼaa. Warri waaqa tolfamaa muka irraa hojjetame baatan, kanneen waaqota fayyisuu hin dandeenye kadhatan homaa beekumsa hin qaban.
21 Declare ye, and bring them near, yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath announced this from ancient time, and declared it of old? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside Me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me.
Waanan taʼuu qabu dubbadhaa; dhiʼeeffadhaas; isaanis walii wajjin haa mariʼatan. Eenyutu waan kana duraan dursee bara dheeraan dura hime? Duruma iyyuu eenyutu labse? Anuma Waaqayyo mitii? Ana malee Waaqni qajeelaa fi Fayyisaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ana malee tokko illee hin jiru.
22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.
“Isin warri handaara lafaa hundi, gara kootti deebiʼaatii fayyaa; ani Waaqa; ana malee kan biraa hin jiruutii.
23 By Myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from My mouth in righteousness, and shall not come back, that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Ani mataa kootiin kakadheera; afaan koos akkana jedhee qajeelummaadhaan dubbii hin geeddaramne dubbateera; ‘Jilbi hundi fuula koo duratti ni jilbeenfata; arrabni hundis anaan kakata.’
24 Only in the LORD, shall one say of Me, is victory and strength; even to Him shall men come in confusion, all they that were incensed against Him.
Isaanis, ‘Qajeelummaa fi jabinni Waaqayyo qofaan argama’ jedhanii waaʼee koo ni dubbatu.” Warri aariidhaan isatti kaʼan hundi, gara isaa dhufanii ni qaanaʼu.
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Sanyiin Israaʼel hundi garuu, Waaqayyoon qajeeltota taasifamu; ni kabajamus.
