Isaiah 46
1 Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
Beel gad jedha; Neboo akka malee gugguufa; waaqonni isaanii tolfamoon kotte duudaa fi horiitti feʼamaniiru; fakkiiwwan isaan qabatanii jooran baʼaa dha; horii dadhabeef baʼaa dha.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
Isaan gugguufanii walii wajjin gad jedhu; baʼaa sana oolchuu hin dandaʼan; isaan iyyuu ni boojiʼamu.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
“Yaa mana Yaaqoob, isin hambaan mana Israaʼel hundi, warri ani gaafa isin gadameessa keessatti uumamtanii jalqabee ol isin qabee gaafa dhalattanii jalqabees isin baadhe hundi dhaggeeffadhaa.
4 Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
Hamma dulloomtanii arrii baaftanitti, ani isa; isuma isin jiraachisuu dha. Ani isin uumeera; isinan baadhas; ani isinan jiraachisa; isinan baraaras.
5 To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
“Isin eenyuun wal bira na qabdu yookaan eenyuun wal na qixxeessitu? Akka wal madaalluufis eenyutti na fakkeessitu?
6 They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
Namoonni tokko tokko korojoo isaanii keessaa warqee gad naqanii madaalliidhaan meetii madaalu; Waaqa tolfamaa tolchuuf jedhanii tumtuu warqee qacaru; isaanis gad jedhanii sagaduuf.
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
Ol fuudhanii gatiittii isaaniitti ni baatu; iddoo isaatti ni deebisu; innis achi dhaabata. Inni iddoo sanaa sochoʼuu hin dandaʼu. Yoo namni gara isaatti iyye iyyuu, inni deebii hin kennu; inni rakkoo isaa keessaa isa baasuu hin dandaʼu.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
“Yaa finciltoota, waan kana yaadadhaa; qalbiittis qabadhaa; garaa keessan keessas kaaʼadhaa.
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.
Wantoota darban kanneen bara durii yaadadhaa; ani Waaqa; kan biraa hin jiru; ani Waaqa; kan akka koo hin jiru.
10 Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.
Ani dhuma waan tokkoo jalqabumatti nan labsa; waan amma iyyuu dhufuuf jiru, ani durumaa jalqabee dubbadheera. Ani, ‘Kaayoon koo cimee jiraata; waan na gammachiisu hundas nan hojjedha’ nan jedha.
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.
Baʼa biiftuutii allaattii waa adamsitu, lafa fagootii immoo nama kaayyoo koo fiixaan baasu nan waama. Ani waanan dubbadhe nan guuta; waanan karoorfadhes nan raawwadha.
12 Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Yaa mata jabeeyyii, isin warri qajeelummaa irraa fagoo jirtan na dhaggeeffadhaa.
13 I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
Ani qajeelummaa koo nan dhiʼeessa; innis fagoo hin jiru; fayyisuun koos hin barfatu. Ani Xiyooniif fayyina, Israaʼeliif immoo ulfina koo nan kenna.
