Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of 'Uzziyahu, Jotham, Achaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah.
Mulʼata Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos bara bulchiinsa Uziyaan, bara Yootaam, bara Aahaazii fi bara Hisqiyaas keessa waaʼee Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem arge.
2 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord hath spoken: Children have I nourished and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.
Yaa Samiiwwan dhagaʼaa! Yaa lafa dhaggeeffadhu! Waaqayyo akkana jedhee dubbateeraatii: “Ani ijoollee horadheen guddifadhe; isaan garuu natti fincilaniiru.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
Qotiyyoon gooftaa isaa, harreenis gola gooftaa isaa ni beeka; Israaʼel garuu hin beeku; sabni koo hin hubatu.”
4 Woe! sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupt: they have forsaken the Lord, they have incensed the Holy One of Israel, they are departed backward.
Yaa saba cubbamaa, uummata balleessaan itti baayʼate, ilmaan warra waan hamaa hojjetuu, ijoollee xuraaʼummaadhaan guutamte isiniif wayyoo! Isaan Waaqayyoon dhiisaniiru; Qulqullicha Israaʼel sana tuffatanii dugda isaanii itti garagalfataniiru.
5 Why will ye be stricken yet more? [that] ye increase the revolt? every head is sick, and every heart is faint.
Isin siʼachi maaliif rukutamtu? Maaliif fincila keessa jiraatu? Mataan keessan guutuun miidhameera; garaan keessan guutuunis dadhabeera.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.
Faana miilla keessaniitii hamma gubbee mataa keessaniitti, fayyaa hin qabdan; madaa fi dirmammuun, madaan dhiigu, kan hin qulqulloofne yookaan hin maramne yookaan zayitiidhaan hin laafne.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire; your soil—in your presence, strangers devour it, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Biyyi keessan duwwaa hafteerti; magaalaawwan keessan ibiddaan gubamaniiru; alagoonni fuuluma keessan duratti lafa qotiisaa keessan saamu; akkuma waan ormi ishee saameettis onti.
8 And left is the daughter of Zion as a hut in a vineyard, as a lodge in a cucumber field, as a besieged city.
Intalli Xiyoon akkuma daʼannoo iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessaatti, akkuma daasii lafa qotiisa buqqee keessaatti, akkuma magaalaa marfame tokkootti dhiifamti.
9 Unless the Lord of hosts had left unto us a remnant ever so small, like Sodom should we have been, unto Gomorrah should we have been compared.
Utuu Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hambaa muraasa nuuf hambisuu baatee, nu silaa akkuma Sodoom taanee, Gomoraas fakkaanna turre.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom: give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Yaa bulchitoota Sodoom dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa; yaa saba Gomoraa, Seera Waaqa keenyaa dhaggeeffadhaa!
11 For what serveth me the multitude of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am sated with the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and the blood of bullocks, and of sheep, and of he-goats, I do not desire.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Baayʼinni aarsaa keessanii anaaf maali?” Ani aarsaa gubamu kan korbeeyyii hoolaatii fi horii gabbifamanii baayʼeen qaba; ani dhiiga korommii looniitti, kan xobbaallaawwan hoolaattii fi reʼeetti hin gammadu.
12 When ye come to appear in my presence—who hath required this at your hand, to tread down my courts?
Isin yommuu fuula koo duratti mulʼachuuf dhuftan, akka oobdii koo dhidhiittan eenyutu isin irraa barbaade?
13 Continue no more to bring an oblation of deceit; incense of abomination is it unto me: new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies—I cannot bear misdeed with festive gathering.
Kennaa faayidaa hin qabne fiduu dhiisaa! Ixaanni keessan na jibbisiisa. Ayyaana Baatii, Sanbataa fi yaaʼii keessan jechuunis wal gaʼii keessan hamaa sana ani hin fedhu.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are become a burden unto me; I am weary to bear them,
Ayyaana Baatii keessanii fi ayyaanota keessan bebbeekamoo lubbuun koo ni jibbiti. Isaan baʼaa natti taʼaniiru; anis obsuu dadhabeera.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will withdraw my eyes from you; yea, when ye make ever so many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Yeroo isin kadhannaaf harka keessan balʼifattan, ani ija koo isinan dhokfadha; yoo isin kadhaa baayʼee kadhattan illee ani hin dhaggeeffadhu. Harki keessan dhiigaan guutameera!
16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
Dhiqadhaatii of qulqulleessaa. Hojii keessan hamaa sana fuula koo duraa balleessaa! Yakka hojjechuus dhiisaa;
17 Learn to do well; seek for justice, relieve the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.
waan qajeelaa hojjechuu baradhaa! Murtii qajeelaa barbaadaa; warra hacuucame jajjabeessaa. Ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef falmaa; haadha hiyyeessaatiif dhaabadhaa.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins should be as scarlet, they shall become white as the snow; though they should be red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Kottaa wal qorraa; cubbuun keessan yoo akka bildiimaa taʼe iyyuu, inni addaatee akka cabbii ni taʼa; yoo akka alalaa diimate iyyuu, akka suufii ni addaata.
19 If ye be willing and obey, the best of the land shall ye eat;
Isin yoo fedhii qabaattanii ajajamtan, waan lafti baaftu filatamaa ni nyaattu;
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, by the sword shall ye be devoured; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
garuu yoo diddanii finciltan goraadeetu isin nyaata.” Afaan Waaqayyoo waan kana dubbateeraatii.
21 How is she become a harlot, the faithful town! she, that was full of justice; righteousness lodged therein; but now murderers.
Akka magaalaan amanamtuun sun sagaagaltuu taate ilaalaa! Isheen dur murtii qajeelaadhaan guutamtee qajeelummaan ishee keessa jiraata ture; amma immoo namoota nama ajjeesantu ishee keessa jiraata!
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is drugged with water;
Meetiin kee ligidaaʼeera; daadhiin wayinii kee filatamaan bishaaniin makameera.
23 Thy princes are rebels, and companions of thieves; every one loveth brides, and runneth after rewards; to the fatherless they will not do justice, and the cause of the widow doth not come unto them.
Bulchitoonni kee finciltoota; michuu hattuuwwanii ti; isaan hundinuu mattaʼaa jaallatu; kennaas akka malee barbaadu. Isaan ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef hin falman; himata haadha hiyyeessaa hin dhaggeeffatan.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will take satisfaction on my adversaries, and be avenged on my enemies.
Kanaafuu Gooftaan, Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Jabaan Israaʼel sun akkana jedha: “Ani amajaajota koo irraa boqonnaa nan argadha; diinota koos haaloo nan baafadha.
25 And I will turn my hand against thee, and purge away as with lye thy dross, and remove all thy tin:
Ani harka koo sitti nan deebisa; ligidaaʼummaa kees akka malutti sirraa nan haqa; xurii kee hundas sirraa nan balleessa.
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; after that shalt thou be called, The city of righteousness, the town that is faithful.
Ani akkuma bara durii abbootii murtii iddootti, akkuma jalqabaatti gorsitoota kee illee siifin deebisa. Ergasii ati magaalaa qajeelummaa, magaalaa amanamtuu jedhamtee ni waamamta.”
27 Zion shall be redeemed through justice, and her converts through righteousness.
Xiyoon murtii qajeelaadhaan, qalbii jijjiirrattoonni ishee immoo qajeelummaadhaan furamu.
28 But destruction shall come over transgressors and sinners together, and those that forsake the Lord shall perish.
Finciltoonnii fi cubbamoonni garuu ni caccabu; warri Waaqayyoon dhiisanis ni badu.
29 For people shall be ashamed because of the terebinths which ye had desired, and ye shall be put to the blush because of the gardens that ye had chosen.
“Isin sababii muka qilxuu itti gammaddan sanaatiif ni qaanoftu; sababii iddoo biqiltuu filattan sanaatiif immoo ni salphattu.
30 For ye shall be as a terebinth the leaves of which wither, and as a garden that hath no water.
Isin akka qilxuu baalli irraa harcaʼee, akka iddoo biqiltuu bishaan hin qabnee ni taatu.
31 And the mighty oppressor shall become as tow, and his workman as a spark; and they shall both burn together, with none to quench.
Namni jabaan akkuma huubaa, hojiin isaas akkuma qaanqee taʼa; isaan lachuu walumaan gubatu; namni ibidda sana dhaamsus hin jiru.”
