Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
“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 unto Sarah that bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
Abbaa keessan Abrahaamii fi Saaraa ishee isin deesse sana ilaalaa. Yeroo ani isa waametti, inni tokkicha ture; ani isa nan eebbise; nan baayʼises.
3 For the LORD hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
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 Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples.
“Yaa uummata koo na dhaggeeffadhaa; yaa saba koo na dhagaʼaa; seerri na biraa baʼa; murtiin koos sabootaaf ifa taʼa.
5 My favour is near, My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust.
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 the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be for ever, and My favour shall not be abolished.
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 unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
“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 moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My favour shall be for ever, and My salvation unto all generations.
Biliin akka wayyaatti isaan nyaatti; raammoonis akkuma rifeensa hoolaatti isaan fixxi. Garuu qajeelummaan koo bara baraan, fayyisuun koos dhalootaa gara dhalootaatti itti fufa.”
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that hewed Rahab in pieces, that pierced 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 Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Inni akka warri furaman ceʼaniif, galaanicha, bishaan tuujuba guddichaa gogse, kan dhidhima galaanaa keessaan karaa baase suma mitii?
11 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing 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, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;
“Kan isin jajjabeessu ana; anuma. Yoos maaliif namoota duʼa hin oolle, ilmaan namaa kanneen akkuma margaa taʼan sodaattu ree?
13 And hast forgotten the LORD thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, as he maketh ready to destroy? And where is 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 that is bent down shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not go down dying into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
Boojiʼamtoonni hidhaman ariitiidhaan gad dhiifamu; isaan boolla itti hidhaman keessatti hin duʼan yookaan buddeena hin dhaban.
15 For I am the LORD thy God, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD of hosts is His name.
Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan akka dhaʼaan bishaanii huursuuf galaana raasuu dha; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
16 And I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: '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 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it.
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 to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons 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 These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I 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 sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of the LORD, 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 now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine;
Kanaafuu yaa ishee miidhamte, kan utuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugin machoofte, waan kana dhagaʼi.
22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again;
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 into the hand of them that afflict thee; that have said to thy soul: 'Bow down, that we may go over'; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go 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.”
