Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Jajjabeessaa; saba koo jajjabeessaa; jedha Waaqni keessan.
2 Speak ye kindly to Jerusalem, and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received from the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.
Garaa Yerusaalemitti dubbadhaa; hojiin garbummaa ishee akka dhume, gatiin cubbuu ishee akka baafameef, isheen cubbuu ishee hundaaf harka Waaqayyootii adabbii dachaa akka fudhatte isheetti labsaa.
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Sagalee akkana jedhee iyyu tokko: “Gammoojjii keessatti Waaqayyoof karaa qopheessaa; gammoojjii keessatti Waaqa keenyaaf karaa guddicha qajeelchaa.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
Sululli hundi ni guutama; tulluu fi gaarri hundinuus gad deebifama; lafti wal caalu, wal qixxeeffama; lafti buʼaa baʼiinis dirree taʼa.
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see it: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Ulfinni Waaqayyoo ni mulʼata; sanyiin namaa hundinuus tokkummaadhaan ni arga. Afaan Waaqayyoo dubbateeraatii.”
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is as the flower of the field:
Sagaleen tokko “Iyyi” jedha. Anis, “Maal jedheen iyya?” nan jedhe. “Namni hundi akkuma margaa ti; ulfinni isaa hundis akkuma daraaraa dirree ti.
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
Sababii hafuurri Waaqayyo baafatu isaanitti bubbisuuf margi ni coollaga; daraaraanis ni harcaʼa. Dhugumaan namni marguma.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Margi ni coollaga; daraaraanis ni harcaʼa; dubbiin Waaqa keenyaa garuu bara baraan ni jiraata.”
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, go up upon the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Ati kan Xiyooniif oduu gaarii fiddu, tulluu dheeraatti ol baʼi. Ati kan Yerusaalemiif oduu gaarii fiddu, sagalee kee ol fudhuutii iyyi; ol fudhadhuu iyyi; hin sodaatin; magaalaawwan Yihuudaatiinis, “Waaqni keessan kunoo ti!” jedhi.
10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Kunoo, Waaqayyo Gooftaan humnaan ni dhufa; irreen isaa jabaadhaanis ni bulcha. Kunoo, gatiin isaa isa wajjin jira; gatiin inni namaaf kennu isuma harka jira.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Inni akkuma tiksee tokkootti bushaayee isaa tikfata; xobbaallaawwan hoolaas irree isaatiin walitti qaba; ofitti qabees qoma isaatti hammata; haadhota hoolotaa warra hoosisanis suutuma oofa.
12 Who hath comprehended the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Bishaanota konyee isaatiin kan safare yookaan samiiwwan taakkuu isaatiin kan safare eenyu? Biyyoo lafaa safartuudhaan walitti kan qabe yookaan tulluuwwan madaaliidhaan gaarran immoo madaaliidhaan kan madaale eenyu?
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Eenyutu Hafuura Waaqayyoo qajeelchuu dandaʼe? Yookaan namni gorsaa isaa taʼee isa barsiise eenyu?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
Waaqayyo hubannaa argachuuf eenyun gorsa gaafate? Daandii qajeelaas eenyutu isa barsiise? Eenyutu beekumsa isaaf kennee yookaan daandii hubannaa isa argisiise?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Dhugumaan saboonni akkuma copha baaldii keessaa ti; isaan akkuma awwaara madaalii irra jiruutti ilaalamu; inni biyyoota bishaan gidduu illee akkuma biyyoo bullaaʼaatti madaala.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering.
Libaanoon qoraan iddoo aarsaatiif gaʼu hin qabdu, yookaan horiin ishee aarsaa gubamuuf hin gaʼan.
17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
Fuula isaa duratti saboonni hundinuu wayittuu hin lakkaaʼaman; isaan akka ilaalcha isaatti homaattuu hin hedaman; gatiis hin qaban.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare him to?
Yoos Waaqa eenyutti fakkeessitu? Fakkii kam wajjin isa wal bira qabdu?
19 The workman casteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
Waaqa tolfamaa tumtuu sibiilaatu baqsee tolcha; tumtuun warqees warqee itti uffisa; foncaa meetiitiinis ni miidhagsa.
20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh for himself a skilful workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
Hiyyeessi aarsaa akkasii dhiʼeessuu hin dandeenye tokko muka hin tortorre filata. Waaqa tolfamaa hin jigne dhaabuufis nama ogummaa hojii harkaa qabu barbaaddata.
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Isin hin beektanii? Isin hin dhageenyee? Wanni kun jalqabumaa kaasee isinitti hin himamnee? Isin erga lafti hundeeffamtee jalqabee hin hubannee?
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Inni geengoo lafaatii ol taaʼa; uummanni lafaas akkuma korophisaa ti. Inni samiiwwan akkuma golgaatti diriirsa; akka dunkaana keessa jiraataniittis isaan diriirsa.
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Inni ilmaan moototaa faayidaa dhabsiisa; bulchitoota addunyaas harka duwwaa hambisa.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Akkuma isaan dhaabamaniin, akkuma isaan facaafamaniin, akkuma isaan lafa keessatti hidda yaafataniin, inni isaanitti bubbise; isaanis ni coollagan; obombolettiinis akkuma habaqiitti isaan haxaaʼe.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or to whom shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
“Isin eenyutti na fakkeessitu? Yookaan eenyutu anaan qixxaata?” jedha Qulqullichi.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Ija keessan ol fudhadhaatii samiiwwan ilaalaa: Eenyutu kanneen hunda uume? Isa tuuta urjiiwwanii tokko tokkoon fidee tokkoo tokkoo isaanii maqaa maqaadhaan waamu sanaa dha. Sababii humna isaa cimaa sanaatii fi jabina isaa guddaa sanaatiif isaan keessaa tokko iyyuu hin dhabamu.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over by my God?
Yaa Yaaqoob, yaa Israaʼel, ati maaliif, “Karaan koo Waaqayyo duraa dhokateera; haajaan koos fuula Waaqa koo duratti tuffatameera” jettee guungumta?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Ati hin beektuu? Ati hin dhageenyee? Waaqayyo Waaqa bara baraa ti; inni Uumaa handaara lafaa ti. Inni hin dadhabu yookaan haara hin galfatu; hubannaa isaas kan qoree bira gaʼu hin jiru.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Inni dadhabdootaaf jabina kenna; nama laafaaf immoo humna dabala.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Ijoolleen iyyuu ni dadhabu; ni bututus; dargaggoonnis gufatanii kufu;
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
Warri Waaqayyoon abdatan garuu humna isaanii ni haaromfatu. Isaan akkuma risaa qoochoodhaan barrisu; ni fiigu; hin dadhaban; ni deemu; hin bututan.
