Isaiah 49
1 Listen O islands to me and pay attention O peoples from a distance Yahweh from [the] womb he called me from [the] inward parts of mother my he has brought to remembrance name my.
Yaa biyyoota bishaan gidduu na dhaggeeffadhaa; yaa saboota fagoo jiraattan waan kana dhagaʼaa: Utuu ani hin dhalatin dura Waaqayyo na waame; utuu ani gadameessa haadha koo keessa jiruu maqaa naa baase.
2 And he made mouth my like a sword sharp in [the] shadow of hand his he hid me and he made me an arrow polished in quiver his he concealed me.
Inni afaan koo akka goraadee qaramee godhe; gaaddidduu harka isaatiin na dhokse; xiyya cululuqfame na godhee, manʼee xiyya isaa keessa na kaaʼate.
3 And he said to me [are] servant my you Israel whom by you I will get glory for myself.
Innis, “Yaa Israaʼel, ati garbicha koo kan ani ulfina koo isa irratti mulʼisuu dha” anaan jedhe.
4 And I I said to emptiness I have labored to nothingness and futility strength my I have caused to fail nevertheless justice my [is] with Yahweh and recompense my [is] with God my.
Ani garuu, “Akkasumaanan itti dadhabe; humna koos waanuma faayidaa hin qabnettan fixe. Taʼus dhugaan koo harka Waaqayyoo, gatiin koos Waaqa bira jira” nan jedhe.
5 And now - he says Yahweh [who] formed me from [the] womb a servant of him to bring back Jacob to him and Israel (to him *Q(K)*) it will be gathered and I may be honored in [the] eyes of Yahweh and God my he has been strength my.
Waan ani fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ulfina argadhee Waaqni koo jabina naa taʼeef, Waaqayyo inni akka ani Yaaqoobin deebisee gara isaatti fiduuf, Israaʼelin isa biratti walitti qabuuf, akka ani garbicha isaa taʼuuf gadameessa keessatti na tolche sun akkana jedha;
6 And he said it is [too] trifling for being you of me servant to raise up [the] tribes of Jacob (and [the] preserved [ones] of *Q(K)*) Israel to bring back and I will make you a light of [the] nations to be salvation my to [the] end of the earth.
Innis, “Ati gosoota Yaaqoob deebiftee dhaabuuf, Israaʼeloota ani eege sanas deebiftee fiduuf garbicha koo taʼuun kee siif baayʼee salphaa dha. Akka fayyinni koo qarqara lafaa gaʼuuf ani Namoota Ormaatiif ibsaa sin taasisa” jedha.
7 Thus he says Yahweh [the] redeemer of Israel holy [one] its to despise life to [one who] abhors a nation to a servant of rulers kings they will see and they will stand up princes so they may bow down on account of Yahweh who [is] faithful [the] holy [one] of Israel and he has chosen you.
Waaqayyo Furii fi Qulqullichi Israaʼel, isa namaan tuffatamee sabnis jibbe, tajaajilaa bulchitootaa sanaan akkana jedha: “Sababii Waaqayyo amanamaa Qulqullicha Israaʼel isa si filate sanaatiif jedhanii mootonni si arganii ol kaʼu; ilmaan moototaas arganii sagadu.”
8 Thus - he says Yahweh in a time of favor I will answer you and on a day of salvation I will help you and I will watch over you and I will make you a covenant of [the] people to raise up [the] land to give as inheritance inheritances desolate.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani yeroo fudhatama qabutti siifin deebisa; gaafa fayyinaattis sin gargaara; akka ati dhaala abbaa hin qabne deebiftee dhaalchiftuuf, ani sin eega; akka ati sabaaf kakuu taatus sin godha;
9 To say to [the] prisoners come out to [those] who [are] in darkness reveal yourselves on roads they will graze and [will be] on all bare heights pasture their.
akka ati warra boojiʼamaniin, ‘Kottaa baʼaa’ warra dukkana keessa jiraataniin immoo, ‘Bilisa baʼaa’ jettu sin godha. “Isaan karaa irratti waa nyaatu; gaara qulqullaaʼaa irrattis iddoo qubataa argatu.
10 Not they will be hungry and not they will be thirsty and not it will strike them burning heat and sun for [one who] has compassion on them he will guide them and to springs of water he will lead them.
Isaan hin beelaʼan; hin dheebotanis; hoʼi gammoojjii yookaan aduun isaan hin gubu. Inni isaaniif garaa laafu isaan geggeessa; qarqara burqaa bishaanii irra isaan qajeelcha.
11 And I will make all mountains my into road and highways my they will be lifted up!
Tulluuwwan koo hunda karaatti nan geeddara; daandiiwwan koo gurguddaanis wal qixxeeffamu.
12 Here! these from a distance they will come and here! these from [the] north and from [the] west and these from [the] land of Sinim.
Kunoo, isaan biyya fagoodhaa ni dhufu; gariin kaabaa, gariin dhiʼaa, kaan immoo biyya Aswaaniitii ni dhufu.”
13 Shout for joy O heaven and be glad O earth (and break forth *Q(K)*) O mountains a shout of joy for he has comforted Yahweh people his and afflicted [people] his he has compassion on.
Yaa samiiwwan, ililchaa; yaa lafa gammadi; yaa tulluuwwan, guddisaa faarfadhaa! Waaqayyo saba isaa ni jajjabeessa; warra rakkataniifis garaa ni laafaatii.
14 And it said Zion he has forsaken me Yahweh and [the] Lord he has forgotten me.
Xiyoon garuu, “Waaqayyo na gateera; Gooftaanis na irraanfateera” jette.
15 ¿ Will she forget a woman sucking child her from having compassion on [the] child of womb her also these they will forget and I not I will forget you.
“Haati daaʼima ishee kan hoosiftu irraanfachuu ni dandeessii? Mucaa deesseefis garaa hin laaftuu? Yoo isheen irraanfatte iyyuu ani si hin irraanfadhu!
16 Here! on palms of hands I have inscribed you walls your [are] before me continually.
Kunoo, ani barruu harka koo irratti si qirixeera; dallaawwan kee yeroo hunda fuula koo dura jiru.
17 They have made haste children your [those who] tear down you and [those who] make desolate you from you they will go out.
Ilmaan kee ariitiidhaan ni dachaʼu; warri si diiganis sirraa baqatu.
18 Lift up all around eyes your and see all of them they have gathered together they have come to you [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh that all of them like ornament[s] you will put on and you will tie on them like bride.
Ija kee ol fudhadhuutii naannoo kee ilaali; ilmaan kee hundi walitti qabamanii gara kee ni dhufu. Ani jiraataadhaatii” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ati isaan kanneen hunda akka faayaatti ni uffatta; akka misirroottis ittiin miidhagfamta.
19 For waste places your and desolate [places] your and [the] land of destruction your for now you will be [too] cramped for [the] inhabitant[s] and they will be far away [those who] swallowed up you.
“Ati diigamtee ontee biyyi kee barbadaaʼu iyyuu amma saba keetti lafti ni dhiphata; warri si liqimsan sirraa ni fagaatu.
20 Yet they will say in ears your [the] children of bereavement your it is cramped for me the place draw near! for me so let me dwell.
Ijoolleen ati yeroo gadda keetiitti deesse, utuma gurri kee dhagaʼuu, ‘Lafti kun nutti dhiphateera; lafa irra jiraannu nuuf kenni’ siin jedhu.
21 And you will say in heart your who? did he father for me these [children] and I [was] bereaved and barren gone into exile - and thrust away and these [children] who? did he bring up here! I I remained to alone me these [children] where? [are] they.
Ergasii ati garaa keetti akkana jetta; ‘Eenyutu jara kanneen naa daʼe? Ani gaddituu fi maseentuun ture; ani baqattuu fi jibbamtuun ture. Isaan kanneen eenyutu guddise? Ani kophaatti hafeen ture; yoos, isaan kunneen eessaa dhufan ree?’”
22 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I will lift up to [the] nations hand my and to peoples I will raise standard my and they will bring sons your in a bosom and daughters your on a shoulder they will be carried.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani namoota ormaa harkaan nan waama; faajjii koos uummataaf ol nan qaba; isaan ilmaan kee hammatanii fidu; intallan kee immoo gatiittii isaaniitti baatu.
23 And they will be kings foster-fathers your and princesses their suckling-nurses your faces ground they will bow down to you and [the] dust of feet your they will lick up and you will know that I [am] Yahweh whom not they will be ashamed [those who] wait for me.
Mootonni abbootii kee kanneen si guddisan, niitonni isaanii immoo haadhota kee kanneen harma si hoosisan ni taʼu. Isaan adda isaaniitiin lafatti gombifamanii siif sagadu; awwaara miilla keetii illee ni arraabu. Ergasii ati akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta; warri na abdatan hin salphatan.”
24 ¿ Will it be taken from a warrior booty and or? [the] captive[s] of [the] righteous will it escape.
Gootota harkaa boojuu fudhachuun, gara jabeeyyii harkaas boojuu baasuun ni dandaʼamaa?
25 For thus - he says Yahweh also a captive of a warrior he will be taken and [the] booty of a ruthless [person] it will be delivered and opponent your I I will oppose and children your I I will save.
Waaqayyo garuu akkana jedha: “Eeyyee, gootota harkaa boojiʼamtoonni ni baafamu; gara jabeeyyii harkaas boojuun ni fudhatama; warra siin falmaniin nan falma; ijoollee kees nan baraara.
26 And I will cause to eat [those who] maltreat you own flesh their and like sweet wine own blood their they will become drunk! and they will know all flesh that I [am] Yahweh deliverer your and redeemer your [the] mighty one of Jacob.
Ani akka warri si hacuucan foon ofii isaanii nyaatan nan godha; isaan akkuma nama daadhii wayiniitiin machaaʼuu dhiiga ofii isaaniitiin ni machaaʼu. Ergasii sanyiin namaa hundi, akka ani Waaqayyo, Fayyisaan kee, Furiin kee, Jabaa Yaaqoob taʼe ni beeka.”
