< Isaiah 52 >

1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Yaa Xiyoon, dammaqi, dammaqi; jabina kee uffadhu! Yaa Yerusaalem, yaa magaalaa qulqullittii, wayyaa kee miidhagaa sana uffadhu. Namoonni dhagna hin qabaminii fi xuraaʼonni lammaffaa sitti hin seenan.
2 Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
Yaa Yerusaalem, awwaara of irraa dhadhaʼadhu; kaʼiitii teessoo irra taaʼi. Yaa intala Xiyoon boojiʼamtittii, foncaa morma keetii of irraa hiiki.
3 For thus says the LORD, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Isin gatii malee gurguramtanii turtan; amma immoo maallaqa malee furamtan.”
4 For thus says the LORD, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: “Jalqabatti sabni koo jiraachuuf jedhee Gibxitti gad buʼe; ergasii Asoor sababii malee isaan cunqurse.
5 "Now therefore, what do I do here," says the LORD, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says the LORD. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.
“Yoos ani amma maalan asii qaba?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Sabni koo sababii malee fudhatameera; warri isaan bulchanis ni qoosu” jedha Waaqayyo. “Guyyaa guutuus, maqaan koo ittuma fufee arrabsama.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."
Kanaafuu sabni koo maqaa koo ni beeka; kanaafuu isaan gaafas kan duraan dursee waan sana dubbate akka ana taʼe ni beeku. Eeyyee, inni anuma.”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
Miilli warra wangeela fidanii, kan nagaa labsanii, kan oduu gammachiisaa fidanii, kan fayyina labsanii, kan Xiyooniin, “Waaqni kee moʼeera!” jedhanii tulluuwwan irratti akkam miidhagaa dha!
8 The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD returns to Zion with compassion.
Dhaggeeffadhu! Eegdonni kee sagalee isaanii ol fudhataniiru; isaan tokkummaadhaan gammachuudhaan iyyu. Yeroo Waaqayyo Xiyoonitti deebiʼutti, isaan ijuma isaaniitiin ni argu.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Yaa diigamtoota Yerusaalem tokkummaadhaan faarfannaa gammachuu faarfadhaa; Waaqayyo uummata isaa jajjabeessee Yerusaaleminis fureeraa.
10 The LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.
Waaqayyo fuula saboota hundaa duratti, irree isaa qulqulluu sana ni mulʼisa; handaarri lafaa hundis fayyisuu Waaqa keenyaa ni argu.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who bear the vessels of the LORD.
Isin warri miʼa Waaqayyoo baattan, addaan baʼaa; addaan baʼaa; achii fagaadhaa! Waan xuraaʼaa tokko illee hin tuqinaa! Ishee keessaa baʼaatii qulqulloota taʼa.
12 For you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Isin garuu ariitiidhaan achii hin baatan; yookaan baqattanii hin deemtan; Waaqayyo fuula keessan dura deemaatii; Waaqni Israaʼel dugda duubaan isin eega.
13 Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Kunoo, garbichi koo ogummaadhaan hojjeta; inni ni kabajama; ol kaafama; ulfina guddaas ni argata.
14 Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
Namoonni baayʼeen waaʼee isaa hamma naʼanitti, fuulli isaa nama hundumaa caalaa golgolaaʼeera; bifti isaas nama hundumaa caalaa badeera;
15 so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
akkasiinis inni saboota hedduu dinqisiifachiisa; mootonni sababii isaatiif afaan isaanii qabatu. Isaan waan isaanitti hin himamin arguutii; waan hin dhagaʼinis ni hubatu.
