Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one of ye that thirsteth, come ye to the water, and he too that hath no money: come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy without money and without price wine and milk.
“Isin warri dheebottan hundinuu kottaa; gara bishaanii kottaa; isin warri maallaqa hin qabne, kottaatii bitadhaa; nyaadhaas! Kottaatii maallaqaa fi gatii malee daadhii wayiniitii fi aannan bitadhaa.
2 Wherefore will ye spend money for what is not bread? and your labor for what satisfieth not? hearken then unto me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isin maaliif waan buddeena hin taʼinitti maallaqa baaftu? Waan nama hin quubsine irrattis maaliif humna keessan fixxu? Dhagaʼaa; na dhagaʼaa; waan gaarii nyaadhaa; lubbuun keessanis coomaan haa gammaddu.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me, hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the promised mercies of David, which are sure.
Gurra naaf kennaatii gara koo kottaa; akka lubbuun keessan jiraattuufis na dhagaʼaa. Ani kakuu bara baraa isin wajjin nan gala; innis jaalala amanamaa isa Daawit abdachiifame sanaa dha;
4 Behold, for a lawgiver unto the people have I appointed him, a prince and commander to the people.
kunoo ani sabootaaf dhuga baatuu isa godheera; hoogganaa fi ajajaa sabootaas isa taasiseera.
5 Behold, a nation thou knowest not shalt thou call, and a nation that knew thee not shall run unto thee; for the sake of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel sun, ulfina siif kenneef, ati dhugumaan saboota hin beekne ni waamta; saboonni si hin beeknes ariitiidhaan gara kee dhufu.”
6 Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found, call ye on him, while he is near.
Yeroo inni argamutti Waaqayyoon barbaaddadhaa; yeroo inni dhiʼoo jiruttis isa waammadhaa.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of unrighteousness his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and unto our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Namni hamaan karaa isaa, namni jalʼaan immoo yaada isaa haa dhiisu. Inni gara Waaqayyootti haa deebiʼu; innis ni araaramaaf; gara Waaqa keenyaatti haa deebiʼu; dhiifamni isaa baayʼeedhaatii.
8 For not my thoughts are your thoughts, and not your ways are my ways, saith the Lord.
“Yaadni koo yaada keessan, karaan keessanis karaa koo miti” jedha Waaqayyo.
9 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
“Akkuma samiiwwan lafa irraa ol fagaatan sana, karaan koo karaa keessan irraa, yaadni koos yaada keessan irraa ol fagoo dha.
10 For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither, but water the earth, and render it fruitful, and cause it to bring forth plants; and give seed to the sower and bread to him that eateth:
Akkuma bokkaa fi cabbiin samiidhaa roobu sana, akka lafti biqila biqilchitee isa facaafatuuf sanyii, isa nyaatuuf immoo buddeena kennituuf malee utuu ishee hin quubsin hin deebine sana,
11 So shall ever be my word which goeth forth from my mouth, it shall not return unto me without effect; but it accomplisheth what I desire, and it prospereth in that whereto I have sent it.
dubbiin koo kan afaan kootii baʼus fedhii koo raawwata; kaayyoo ani isa ergeefis galmaan gaʼa malee harka duwwaa gara kootti hin deebiʼu.
12 For in joy shall ye go out, and in peace shall ye be brought home: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Isin gammachuudhaan baatu; nagaadhaan geggeeffamtu; tulluuwwanii fi gaarran, fuula keessan duratti ililchanii faarfatu; mukkeen dirree hundinuus harka walitti rukutu.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be unto the Lord for a name, for a sign of everlasting that shall not be cut off.
Qooda qoraattii birbirsi, qooda sokorruus kusaayeen ni biqila. Kunis Waaqayyoof yaadannoo, mallattoo bara baraa kan hin badne taʼa.”
