Esias 48
1 Hear these [words], you house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of Juda, who swear by the name of the Lord God of Israel, making mention [of it, but] not with truth, nor with righteousness;
“Yaa mana Yaaqoob, isin warri maqaa Israaʼeliin waamamtan, kanneen sanyii Yihuudaa irraa argamtan, isin warri maqaa Waaqayyootiin kakattanii garuu dhugaadhaan yookaan qajeelummaadhaan utuu hin taʼin maqaa Waaqa Israaʼel dhooftan waan kana dhaggeeffadhaa;
2 maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name. The former things I have already declared;
isin warri maqaa magaalaa qulqullittiitiin of waamtan, kanneen Waaqa Israaʼelitti irkattan, waan kana dhaggeeffadhaa; maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha:
3 and they that have proceeded out of my mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and [the events] came to pass.
Ani wantoota durii duraan dursee dubbadheera; isaan afaan kootii baʼan; 1 anis akka isaan beekaman nan godhe; anis akkuma tasaa hojjedhe; isaanis ni raawwataman.
4 I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead brazen.
Ani akka ati mata jabeessa taate beekeen tureetii; ribuun morma keetii sibiila ture; addi kee naasii ture.
5 And I told you of old what [should be] before it came upon you; I made it known to you, lest you should say, [My] idols have done [it] for me; and should say, [My] graven and molten images have commanded me.
Kanaafuu ani wantoota kanneen bara dheeraan dura sitti himeera; ani akka ati, ‘waaqota koo tolfamootu isaan hojjete; fakkii koo kan muka irraa hojjetamee fi waaqa sibiila irraa hojjetametu murteesse’ jechuu hin dandeenyeef utuu isaan hin uumaminiin dura sitti himeera.
6 You have heard all this, but you have not known: yet I have made known to you the new things from henceforth, which are coming to pass, and you said not,
Ati wantoota kanneen dhageesseerta; isaan hunda ilaali. Ati isaan amantee hin fudhattuu? “Ani ammaa jalqabee waan haaraa, waan dhokfamee jiru kan ati hin beekin sitti nan hima.
7 Now they come to pass, and not formerly: and you heard not of them in former days: say not you, Yes, I know them.
Isaan amma uumaman malee bara dheeraan dura miti; ati harʼaan dura waaʼee isaanii hin dhageenye. Kanaafuu ati, ‘Kunoo ani waaʼee isaanii beekeen ture’ jechuu hin dandeessu.
8 You have neither known, nor understood, neither from the beginning have I opened your ears: for I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and would be called a transgressor even from the womb.
Ati takkumaa dhageessee yookaan hubattee hin beektu; gurri kee durumaa jalqabee hin banamne. Ani akka ati micciiramaa taate beeka; ati dhaloota keetii jalqabdee fincilaa jedhamtee waamamte.
9 For mine own sake will I show you my wrath, and will bring before you my glorious acts, that I may not utterly destroy you.
Ani maqaa kootiif jedhee dheekkamsa koo nan tursiisa; ani akka si hin balleessineef galata kootiif jedhee dheekkamsa koo duubatti harkisa.
10 Behold, I have sold you, [but] not for silver; but I have rescued you from the furnace of affliction.
Kunoo, ani yoo akka meetiitti taʼuu baate iyyuu si qulqulleesseera; ibidda dhiphinaa keessattis qoree si ilaaleera.
11 For mine own sake I will do [this] for you, because my name is profaned; and I will not give my glory to another.
Ani ofii kootiif jedhee, ofuma kootiif jedhee waan kana nan godha. Maqaan koo akkamitti baduu dandaʼa? Ani ulfina koo dabarsee kan biraatiif hin kennu.
12 Hear me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call; I am the first, and I endure for ever.
“Yaa Yaaqoob, Yaa Israaʼel kan ani si waame, na dhaggeeffadhu: Ani isuma; ani kan jalqabaa ti; ani kan dhumaa ti.
13 My hand also has founded the earth, and my right hand has fixed the sky: I will call them, and they shall stand together.
Harki koo hundeewwan lafaa dhaabe; harki koo mirgaa immoo samiiwwan diriirse; yommuu ani isaan waamutti, hundi isaanii walii wajjin dhaabatu.
14 And all shall be gathered, and shall hear: who has told them these things? Out of love to you I have fulfilled your desire on Babylon, to abolish the seed of the Chaldeans.
“Hundi keessan walitti qabamaatii dhaggeeffadhaa; waaqota tolfamoo keessaa kamitu duraan dursee wantoota kanneen dubbate? Michuun Waaqayyoo filatamaan kaayyoo Waaqaa Baabilon irratti fiixaan baasa; irreen isaa Baabilonotatti kaʼa.
15 I have spoken, I have called, I have brought him, and made his way prosperous.
Ani, ani mataan koo dubbadheera; dhugumaan ani isa waameera. Ani isa nan fida; innis karaa isaa irratti ni milkaaʼa.
16 Draw near to me, and hear you these words; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: when it took place, there was I, and now the Lord, [even] the Lord, and his Spirit, has sent me.
“Natti dhiʼaadhaatii waan kana dhagaʼaa: “Ani jalqabumaa kaasee dhoksaatti hin dubbanne; yeroo wanni sun taʼettis ani achuman ture.” Ammas Waaqayyo Gooftaanii fi Hafuurri isaa na erganiiru.
17 Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the Holy One of Israel; I am your God, I have shown you how you should find the way wherein you should walk.
Waaqayyo Furiin kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan waan siif tolu si barsiisu, kan karaa ati deemuu qabdu irra si qajeelchuu dha.
18 And if you had listened to my commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.
Ati utuu ajaja koo qalbeeffattee jiraattee, nagaan kee akka lagaa, qajeelummaan kee immoo akka dhaʼaa galaanaa taʼa ture.
19 Your seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your belly as the dust of the ground: neither now shall you by any means be utterly destroyed, neither shall your name perish before me.
Sanyiin kee akkuma cirrachaa, ijoolleen kee akkuma biyyoo lafaa baayʼatu ture; maqaan isaanii hin haqamu; isaanis fuula koo duraa hin dhabaman ture.”
20 Go forth of Babylon, you that flee from the Chaldeans: utter aloud a voice of joy, and let this be made known, proclaim it to the end of the earth; say you, The Lord has delivered his servant Jacob.
Baabilon keessaa baʼaa; Baabilonota duraa baqadhaa! Waan kana iyya gammachuutiin beeksisaa; labsaas. Hamma handaara lafaatti dabarsaa; “Waaqayyo garbicha isaa Yaaqoobin fureera” jedhaa.
21 And if they shall thirst, he shall lead them through the desert; he shall bring forth water to them out of the rock: the rock shall be cloven, and the water shall flow forth, and my people shall drink.
Isaan yommuu inni lafa gammoojjii keessa isaan qajeelchetti hin dheebonne; inni kattaa keessaa bishaan burqisiiseef; inni kattaa dhoosee, bishaanis humnaan cabsee baʼe.
22 There is no joy, says the Lord, to the ungodly.
“Hamootaaf nagaan hin jiru” jedha Waaqayyo.
