Isaiah 43
1 But now this is what Yahweh says, he who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: “Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are mine.
Amma garuu yaa Yaaqoob, Waaqayyo inni si uume, yaa Israaʼel, inni si tolche akkana jedha: “Ani si fureeraatii hin sodaatin; ani maqaa keetiin si waameera; ati kan koo ti.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire you will not be burned, and the flames will not destroy you.
Yommuu ati bishaan keessa dabartu, ani si wajjinan jira; yommuu ati lageen ceetus, isaan si hin liqimsan. Yommuu ibidda keessa deemtu, ati hin gubattu; arrabni ibiddaas si hin gubu.
3 For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
Ani Waaqayyo Waaqni kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel Fayyisaa keeti; ani biyya Gibxi furii keetiif, qooda kee immoo Kuushii fi Saabaa nan kenna.
4 Since you are precious and special in my sight, I love you; therefore I will give people in exchange for you, and other peoples in exchange for your life.
Waan ati ija koo duratti jaallatamaa fi kabajamaa taateef, anis waanan si jaalladhuuf, qooda kee namoota qooda lubbuu keetii immoo saboota nan kenna.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.
Ani si wajjinan jiraatii hin sodaatin; ani ijoollee kee baʼa biiftuutii nan fida; lixa biiftuutiis walitti sin qaba.
6 I will say to the north, 'Hand them over;' and to the south, 'Do not hold any back;' Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the remote regions of the earth,
Ani Kaabaan, ‘Isaan gad dhiisi!’ Kibbaan immoo ‘Isaan hin dhowwin’ nan jedha. Ilmaan koo fagoodhaa, intallan koo immoo handaara lafaatii fidi;
7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.
kan maqaa kootiin waamame hunda, kanneen ani ulfina kootiif uume, warra ani tolchee fi hojjedhe sana fidaa.”
8 Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, and the deaf, even though they have ears.
Warra utuu ija qabanuu jaamanii utuu gurra qabanuu duudan gad baasi.
9 All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them could have declared this and announced to us earlier events? Let them bring their witnesses to prove themselves right, let them listen and affirm, 'It is true.'
Sabni hundi tokkummaadhaan walitti haa qabamu; namoonnis wal haa gaʼan. Isaan keessaa namni duraan dursee waan kana nutti himee wantoota duraas nuuf labse eenyu? Akka warri kaan dhagaʼanii, “Kun dhugaa dha” jedhaniif, akka dhugaa qabeeyyii taʼuun isaanii mirkaneeffamuuf isaan dhuga baatota isaanii haa dhiʼeeffatan.
10 You are my witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe in me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no god formed, and there will be none after me.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Akka isin beektanii na amantaniif akka ani isa taʼes akka hubattaniif isin dhuga baatota koo, garbicha koo kan ani filadhee dha. Anaan dura waaqni hin hojjetamne; anaan booddees hin jiraatu.
11 I, I am Yahweh, and there is no savior but me.
Ana, anuma qofatu Waaqayyo; ana malees fayyisaan biraa hin jiru.
12 I have declared, saved, and proclaimed, and there is no other god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “I am God.
Ani mulʼiseera; fayyiseera; labseeras; ana malee waaqni ormaa gidduu keessan hin turre. Akka ani Waaqa taʼe, isin dhuga baatota koo ti” jedha Waaqayyo.
13 From this day on I am he, and no one can rescue anyone from my hand. I act, and who can turn it back?”
“Bara duriitii jalqabee ani isuma. Namni tokko iyyuu harka kootii waa baasuu hin dandaʼu. Ani nan hojjedha; eenyutu dhowwuu dandaʼa?”
14 This is what Yahweh says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I send to Babylon and lead them all down as fugitives, turning the Babylonians' expressions of joy into songs of lamentation.
Waaqayyo Furiin kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani isiniif jedhee Baabilonitti loltoota ergee dooniiwwan isaan ittiin boonaniin namoota Baabilon hunda boojiʼee nan fida.
15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
Ani Waaqayyo, Qulqullicha keessan, Uumaa Israaʼel, Mootii keessanii dha.”
16 This is what Yahweh says (who opened a way through the sea and a path in the mighty waters,
Waaqayyo inni, galaana keessaan karaa, bishaanota jajjaboo keessaan immoo daandii tolche akkana jedha;
17 who led out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty host. They fell down together; they will never rise again; they are extinguished, quenched like a burning wick.)
inni gaariiwwanii fi fardeen, loltootaa fi gargaartota isaanii tokkummaadhaan ariʼee baase akkana jedha; isaan achuma ciciisu; lammatas hin kaʼan; akkuma foʼaa ibsaattis dhaamanii badu;
18 “Do not think about these former things, nor consider the things of long ago.
“Wantoota durii irraanfadhaa; waan darbettis hin cichinaa.
19 Look, I am about to do a new thing; now it begins to happen; do you not perceive it? I will make a road in the desert and streams of water in the wilderness.
Kunoo, ani waan haaraa tokko nan hojjedhaa! Innis amma ni biqila; isin hin hubattanii? Ani gammoojjii keessatti karaa nan qopheessa; lafa onaa keessattis burqaa nan burqisiisa.
20 The wild animals of the field will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give water in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, for my chosen people to drink,
Bineensonni bosonaa, waangoowwanii fi guchiiwwan ulfina naaf kennu; akka sabni koo kan ani filadhe dhuguuf, ani gammoojjii keessatti bishaan, lafa onaa keessattis burqaa nan kennaatii;
21 this people whom I formed for myself, that they might recount my praises.
sabni ani ofii kootiif filadhe akka na galateeffatuuf ture.
22 But you have not called on me, Jacob; you have become tired of me, Israel.
“Yaa Yaaqoob, ati garuu na hin waammanne; yaa Israaʼel, ati fuula koo duratti dadhabdeerta.
23 You have not brought me any of your sheep as burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings, nor wearied you with demands for incense.
Ati aarsaa gubamuu fi hoolota naaf hin fidne; yookaan aarsaa keetiin ulfina naaf hin kennine. Ani aarsaa midhaaniitiin si hin rakkifne; yookaan aarsaa ixaanaa gaafachuudhaan si hin dadhabsiifne.
24 You have bought me no sweet-smelling cane with money, neither have you poured out to me the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your evil deeds.
Ati qundhii urgaa gaarii qabu naa hin binne; yookaan cooma qalma keetiitiin na hin quubsine. Garuu baʼaa cubbuu keetii natti feete; yakka keetiinis na dadhabsiifte.
25 I, yes, I, am he who blots out your offenses for my own sake; and I will not call to mind your sins any longer.
“Kan ofii kootiif jedhee yakka kee sirraa haqee cubbuu kees deebiʼee hin yaadanne, ani anuma.
26 Remind me of what happened. Let us debate together; present your cause, that you may be proved innocent.
Mee waan darbe irra naa deebiʼi; walitti dhufnee dubbii kana irratti haa falminu; dubbii kee dhiʼeeffadhuutii qajeelaa taʼuu kee mirkaneeffadhu.
27 Your first father sinned, and your leaders have transgressed against me.
Abbaan kee kan jalqabaa cubbuu hojjete; barsiistonni kee natti fincilan.
28 Therefore I will defile the holy officials; I will hand Jacob over to complete destruction, and Israel to abusive humiliation.”
Kanaafuu ani itti gaafatamtoota mana qulqullummaa keetii nan salphisa; Yaaqoobin badiisaaf, Israaʼelin immoo tuffiif dabarsee nan kenna.
