Isaiah 46
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavily loaded; they were a burden to the weary beast.
Beel gad jedha; Neboo akka malee gugguufa; waaqonni isaanii tolfamoon kotte duudaa fi horiitti feʼamaniiru; fakkiiwwan isaan qabatanii jooran baʼaa dha; horii dadhabeef baʼaa dha.
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves have gone into captivity.
Isaan gugguufanii walii wajjin gad jedhu; baʼaa sana oolchuu hin dandaʼan; isaan iyyuu ni boojiʼamu.
3 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are borne by me from birth, who are carried from the womb:
“Yaa mana Yaaqoob, isin hambaan mana Israaʼel hundi, warri ani gaafa isin gadameessa keessatti uumamtanii jalqabee ol isin qabee gaafa dhalattanii jalqabees isin baadhe hundi dhaggeeffadhaa.
4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to gray hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Hamma dulloomtanii arrii baaftanitti, ani isa; isuma isin jiraachisuu dha. Ani isin uumeera; isinan baadhas; ani isinan jiraachisa; isinan baraaras.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
“Isin eenyuun wal bira na qabdu yookaan eenyuun wal na qixxeessitu? Akka wal madaalluufis eenyutti na fakkeessitu?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
Namoonni tokko tokko korojoo isaanii keessaa warqee gad naqanii madaalliidhaan meetii madaalu; Waaqa tolfamaa tolchuuf jedhanii tumtuu warqee qacaru; isaanis gad jedhanii sagaduuf.
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not move: yea, one shall cry to him, yet he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Ol fuudhanii gatiittii isaaniitti ni baatu; iddoo isaatti ni deebisu; innis achi dhaabata. Inni iddoo sanaa sochoʼuu hin dandaʼu. Yoo namni gara isaatti iyye iyyuu, inni deebii hin kennu; inni rakkoo isaa keessaa isa baasuu hin dandaʼu.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
“Yaa finciltoota, waan kana yaadadhaa; qalbiittis qabadhaa; garaa keessan keessas kaaʼadhaa.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Wantoota darban kanneen bara durii yaadadhaa; ani Waaqa; kan biraa hin jiru; ani Waaqa; kan akka koo hin jiru.
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Ani dhuma waan tokkoo jalqabumatti nan labsa; waan amma iyyuu dhufuuf jiru, ani durumaa jalqabee dubbadheera. Ani, ‘Kaayoon koo cimee jiraata; waan na gammachiisu hundas nan hojjedha’ nan jedha.
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also perform it.
Baʼa biiftuutii allaattii waa adamsitu, lafa fagootii immoo nama kaayyoo koo fiixaan baasu nan waama. Ani waanan dubbadhe nan guuta; waanan karoorfadhes nan raawwadha.
12 Hearken to me, ye stubborn in heart, that are far from righteousness:
Yaa mata jabeeyyii, isin warri qajeelummaa irraa fagoo jirtan na dhaggeeffadhaa.
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Ani qajeelummaa koo nan dhiʼeessa; innis fagoo hin jiru; fayyisuun koos hin barfatu. Ani Xiyooniif fayyina, Israaʼeliif immoo ulfina koo nan kenna.
