Isaiah 58
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Shout loudly! Shout like [SIM] a loud trumpet! Shout to warn my Israeli people about their sins [DOU]!
“Guddisii iyyi; hin qusatin. Akkuma malakataa sagalee kee ol fudhadhu. Saba kootti fincila isaanii, mana Yaaqoobitti immoo cubbuu isaanii labsi.
2 They worship me every day; [they come to my temple because they say that] they are eager to know what I want them to do. They act as though they are a nation that does things that are righteous, who would never abandon their God. They request me to decide matters justly, and they delight to come to worship me.
Isaan guyyuma guyyaan na barbaaduutii; isaan akkuma saba waan qajeelaa hojjetee ajajawwan Waaqa isaa hin dhiisin tokkootti waan karaa koo beekuu barbaadan fakkaatu. Isaan murtii qajeelaa na kadhatu; akka Waaqni isaanitti dhiʼaatus waan hawwan fakkaatu.
3 [They say], ‘We have (fasted/abstained from eating food) to please you, but you did not [RHQ] notice our doing that. We humbled ourselves, but you did not [RHQ] pay any attention!’ I will tell you why I did not pay attention. It is because when you fast, you do it only to please yourselves, and you act cruelly toward all your workers.
Isaanis, ‘Yoo ati waan kana hin argine, nu maaliif soomne? Yoo ati waan kana hin qalbeeffanne nu maaliif gad of qabne?’ jedhu. “Taʼus isin guyyaa sooma keessanii waan feetan gootan; hojjettoota keessan hundas ni hacuuccan.
4 You fast, but you also quarrel and fight [with each other] with your fists. [Doing things like that while] you fast will [certainly] not cause [me] to hear your prayers [where I am], high in heaven.
Soomni keessan wal loluu fi wal qoccoluudhaan, aboottee hamminaatiin wal tumuudhaan raawwata. Soomni isin harʼa soomaa jirtan kun, akka sagaleen keessan gubbaatti dhagaʼamu hin godhu.
5 You [act as though] [IRO] you humble yourselves [RHQ] by bowing your heads like [SIM] [the tops of] reeds bend [when the wind blows], and you wear [RHQ] rough clothes and cover your heads with ashes [like people do when they are grieving]. That is what you do when you are fasting, but do you really think [RHQ] that will please me?
Soomni ani filadhe sooma akkanaatii? Namni tokko guyyuma tokko qofaaf gad of qabaa? Wanni kun akkuma dhallaadduu mataa gad qabachuu fi wayyaa gaddaatii fi daaraa irra ciisuu qofaafii? Wanni isin sooma jettaniin guyyaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti fudhatama qabu kanaa?
6 No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire. What I really want [RHQ] is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison [DOU], and to encourage those who are (treated cruelly/oppressed); I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.
“Soomni ani itti gammadu, kan foncaa jalʼinaa furu, kan funyoo waanjoo hiiku, kan cunqurfamtoota bilisa baasuu fi waanjoo hunda caccabsu mitii?
7 I want you to [RHQ] share your food with those who are hungry and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses. Give clothes to those who do not have clothes, and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.
Akka ati warra beelaʼaniif nyaata kee qoodduu fi akka hiyyeeyyii mana hin qabne mana keetti simattu, akka ati yeroo nama daare argitutti daara isa baaftuu fi akka nama foonii fi dhiiga kee taʼetti dugda hin galle mitii?
8 If you do those things, [what you do for others will be like] [SIM] a light that shines when it dawns. The troubles [that have been caused by your sins] will end quickly. Others will know about your righteous behavior, and with my glorious presence I will protect you from behind [like I protected the Israeli people when they left Egypt].
Yoos ifni kee akka biiftuu ganamaa ni baʼa; fayyinni kees dafee ni dhufa; qajeelummaan kee fuula kee dura deema; ulfinni Waaqayyoo immoo duubaan si eega.
9 Then you will call out to me, and I will [quickly] answer [and say that I will help you].’ Stop (oppressing people/treating people cruelly); stop falsely accusing people; and stop saying evil [things about people].
Yeroo sana ati ni waammatta; Waaqayyos deebii siif kenna; ati gargaarsa barbaacha iyyatta; innis, ‘Ani asan jira’ siin jedha. “Ati yoo waanjoo cunqursaa, haasaʼa hamminaatii fi quba namatti qabuu of irraa fageessite,
10 Give food to those who are hungry, and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need. [Your doing that will be like] [MET] a light that shines in the darkness; instead of doing evil to people [MET], [the good things that you do for them will be like] [SIM] sunshine at noontime.
ati yoo warra beelaʼaniif nyaata kennite, warra rakkatanis rakkinaa baafte, ifni kee dukkana keessa ni ibsa; halkan kees akka guyyaa saafaa taʼa.
11 [I], Yahweh, will guide you continually, and I will give you good things to satisfy you. I will enable you to remain strong and healthy. You will be like [SIM] a garden that is well watered, like [SIM] a spring that never dries up.
Waaqayyo yeroo hunda si geggeessa; inni lafa aduudhaan gubate keessatti iyyuu fedhii kee siif guuta; lafee kees ni jabeessa. Ati akka lafa biqiltuu bishaan quufee, akka burqaa hin gognees ni taata.
12 [Your people] will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago; they will build [houses] on top of the old foundations. People will say that you are the ones who are repairing the holes [in the city walls], and who are repairing the streets where people live.
Uummanni kee diigamaa durii deebisee ni ijaara; atis hundee dhaloota baayʼee ol kaasta; atis, Suphaa Dallaawwan Jijjiganii, Haaromsaa Daandiiwwan Jireenyaa jedhamtee waamamta.
13 Do not travel [MTY] long distances on Sabbath/rest days, and on Sabbath days do not do only the things that you delight to do. Enjoy the Sabbath days, and consider them to be delightful. The Sabbath days are my holy days. Honor me, Yahweh, in everything that you do [on the Sabbath days]. Do not talk about and do things [only] to please yourselves. If you do all the things that I have just now told you to do,
“Ati yoo miilla kee Sanbata cabsuu irraa eeggattee guyyaa koo qulqulluu waan jaallattu gochuu dhiifte, ati yoo Sanbataan, ‘Gammachuu’ guyyaa qulqullaaʼaa Waaqayyootiin immoo, ‘Kabajamaa’ jette, yoo daandii ofii keetii deemtuu fi yoo waan feete gochuu yookaan haasaa faayidaa hin qabne haasaʼuu baattee Sanbata ulfeessite,
14 I will enable you to be joyful. I will greatly honor you; [I will honor you everywhere!] I will give to you the [blessings] that I gave to your ancestor Jacob. [Those things will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
yeroo sana Waaqayyotti ni gammadda; anis akka ati lafa ol dheeraa irra guluftu, dhaala abbaa kee Yaaqoob nyaattee akka quuftus sin taasisa.” Afaan Waaqayyoo dubbateeraatii.
