Isaiah 54
1 Sing, O barren one, that thou hast not born: break forth into song, and rejoice aloud, that thou hast not travailed; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
“Yaa dubartii dhabduu, kan takkumaa hin daʼin, amma faarfadhu; ati kan takkumaa ciniinsifattee hin beekin iyyii faarfadhu; guddisiitii ililchi. Ijoollee dubartii dhirsa qabduu caalaa ijoolleen dubartii gatamtee ni baayʼatu” jedha Waaqayyo.
2 Enlarge the space of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations, —spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
“Iddoo dunkaana keetii balʼifadhu; golgaa dunkaana keetii balʼisii diriirsi; walitti hin dachaasin; funyoo kee dheereffadhu; qofoo kees jabeeffadhu.
3 For to the right and to the left shalt thou spread forth; and thy seed shall drive out nations, desolate cities shall they repeople.
Ati gara mirgaattii fi gara bitaatti ni babalʼattaatii; sanyiiwwan kee saboota ni dhaalu; magaalaawwan isaanii kanneen duwwaa hafan keessas ni qubatu.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be made ashamed; and be not confounded, for thou shalt not be put to the blush; for the shame of thy youth shalt thou forget, and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou not remember any more.
“Hin sodaatin; ati hin qaanoftuutii. Hin yaaddaʼin; ati hin salphattuutii; Qaanii ijoollummaa keetii ni dagatta; tuffii dhirsi kee sirraa duunaan sirra gaʼes siʼachi hin yaadattu.
5 For thy husband is thy Maker, the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, “The God of all the earth,” shall he be called.
Uumaan kee dhirsa keeti; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha; Qulqullichi Israaʼel Furii kee ti; innis Waaqa guutummaa lafaa jedhama.
6 For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit did the Lord call thee back, and as a wife of youth, that was rejected, saith thy God.
Waaqayyo akka waan ati akkuma niitii gatamtee garaan ishee gaddee, akka niitii dargaggeessaa kan jibbamteetti deebisee ofitti si waama” jedha Waaqni kee.
7 But for a brief moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I again receive thee.
“Ani yeroo muraasaafan si dhiise; garuu gara laafina guddaadhaan deebisee sin fida.
8 In a little wrath did I hide my face for a moment from thee; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith thy Redeemer the Lord.
Ani dheekkamsa guddaadhaan yeroo muraasaaf fuula koo si dhokfadheen ture; garuu jaalala bara baraatiin, garaa siifin laafa” jedha Waaqayyo Furiin kee.
9 For as the waters of Noah is this unto me; as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more pass over the earth: so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
“Wanni kun anaaf akkuma bara Nohi, yeroo ani itti bishaan Nohi deebiʼee lafa irra hin garagalu jedhee kakadhe sanaa ti. Kanaafuu ani akkan sitti hin aarre, gonkumaas lammata akkan si hin ifanne kakadheera.
10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills may be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith he that hath mercy on thee, the Lord.
Tulluuwwan raafamanii, gaarran buqqifaman iyyuu, jaalalli hin geeddaramne kan ani siif qabu garuu hin raafamu; yookaan kakuun koo kan nagaa hin diigamu” jedha Waaqayyo inni garaa siif laafu sun.
11 O thou afflicted, tossed by the tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
“Yaa magaalaa miidhamte kan dambaliidhaan garagalfamtee nama si jajjabeessu dhabde, ani dhagaa gatii guddaatiin si ijaaree sanpeeriidhaanis si hundeessa.
12 And I will make of rubies thy battlements, and thy gates into carbuncle-stones, and all thy borders into precious stones.
Ani fiixee kee lula diimaadhaan, karrawwan kee dooqa calaqqisuun, dallaa kee hunda immoo dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiidhaan nan ijaara.
13 And all thy children shall be disciples of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Waaqayyo ilmaan kee hunda ni barsiisa; nagaan ijoollee keetiis guddaa taʼa.
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: keep far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near unto thee.
Ati qajeelummaadhaan hundeeffamta; cunqurfamuun sirraa fagaata; wanni si sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Gooliin sirraa fageeffama; sitti iyyuu hin dhiʼaatu.
15 Behold, they that assemble together, are nothing without me: whatsoever assembleth together against thee shall fall under thy power.
Yoo namni tokko iyyuu lola sitti kaase ani keessaa hin qabu; namni lola sitti kaasu kam iyyuu harka sitti kennata.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have also created the waster to destroy.
“Kunoo, kan tumtuu sibiilaa kan cilee buufee ibidda bobeessee miʼa waraanaa tumee hojii isaatiif mijeessu sana uume anuma. Kan nama waa balleessu tokko akka inni balaa buusuuf uumes anuma;
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that will rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their due reward from me, saith the Lord.
meeshaan si miidhuuf tolfame kam iyyuu hin milkaaʼu; atis arraba si himatu hunda of irraa deebifta. Kun dhaala tajaajiltoota Waaqayyoo ti; innis qajeelummaa isaan narraa argatanii dha” jedha Waaqayyo.
