Isaiah 26
1 In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: 'We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.
Bara sana faarfannaan kun biyya Yihuudaa keessatti faarfatama: Nu magaalaa jabaa qabna; Waaqnis fayyina, dallaa eegumsa isheetii fi daʼannoo ishee taasisa.
2 Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.
Akka sabni qajeelaan, sabni amanamummaadhaan jiraatu ol seenuuf, karrawwan banaa.
3 An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace — peace! For in Thee it is confident.
Inni sitti irkateeraatii, nama yaadni garaa isaa si wajjin jiru, ati nagaa hirʼina hin qabneen isa eegda.
4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a rock of ages,
Sababii Waaqayyo, Waaqayyo mataan isaa, Kattaa bara baraa taʼeef, bara baraan Waaqayyoon amanadhaa.
5 For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,
Inni warra iddoo ol kaʼaa irra jiraatan gad qaba; magaalaa tabba irra jirtu gad buusa; lafatti gatees awwaaratti ishee maka.
6 Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor — steps of the weak.
Miilli, miilli warra hacuucamee, faanni hiyyeeyyii ishee dhidhiita.
7 The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.
Daandiin nama qajeelaa wal qixxaataa dha; yaa Isa Tolaa, ati qajeeltotaaf karaa baafta.
8 Also, [in] the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited [for] Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance [Is] the desire of the soul.
Yaa Waaqayyo, nu karaa seera keetii irra deemaa si eegganna, maqaan keetii fi beekamuun kee hawwii garaa keenyaa ti.
9 [With] my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, [with] my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.
Halkan lubbuun koo si yaaddi; ganamas hafuurri koo baayʼisee si barbaada. Yeroo murtiin kee gara lafaa dhufutti, uummanni addunyaa qajeelummaa barata.
10 The wicked findeth favour, He hath not learned righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth perversely, And seeth not the excellency of Jehovah.
Namni hamaan gara laafinni godhamuuf iyyuu, qajeelummaa hin baratu; biyya qajeelummaan jirutti iyyuu inni ittuma fufee jalʼina hojjeta; surraa Waaqayyoos hin hubatu.
11 O Jehovah, high [is] Thy hand — they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire — Thine adversaries, consumeth them.
Yaa Waaqayyo, harki kee ol kaafameera; isaan garuu isa hin argan. Isaan hinaaffaa ati saba keetiif qabdu arganii haa qaanaʼan; ibiddi diinota keetiif kuufame sun isaan haa balleessu.
12 O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati nagaa nuuf kenniteerta; ati hojii keenya hunda nuuf hojjetteertaatii.
13 O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya, si malee gooftonni biraa nu bulchaniiru; nu garuu maqaa kee qofa ulfeessina.
14 Dead — they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
Isaan amma duʼaniiru; siʼachi hin jiraatan; isaan gaaddidduu dha; deebiʼaniis hin kaʼan. Ati isaan adabde; isaan balleessites; yaadannoo isaanii hundas ni barbadeessite.
15 Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati saba baayʼisteerta; ati saba baayʼisteerta; ati ofii keetiif ulfina argatteerta; daarii biyyaa hunda balʼifteerta.
16 O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.
Yaa Waaqayyo, isaan yeroo dhiphinaatti si barbaaddatan; yeroo ati isaan adabdetti isaan kadhannaa gad roobsan.
17 When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained — she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah.
Akkuma dubartiin ulfaa yeroo daʼuu geessutti, ciniinsuudhaan wixxirfattee iyyitu sana, yaa Waaqayyo, nus fuula kee duratti akkasuma taaneerra.
18 We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
Nu ulfoofnee, ciniinsuudhaan wixxirfanne; nu garuu bubbee deenye. Nu lafaaf fayyina hin fidne; nu uummata addunyaa hin deenye.
19 'Thy dead live — My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
Garuu namoonni kee kanneen duʼan ni jiraatu; dhagni isaaniis duʼaa ni kaʼa. Isin warri biyyoo keessa jiraattan, dammaqaatii gammachuudhaan ililchaa. Fixeensi kee akkuma fixeensa ganamaa ti; laftis warra duʼan of keessaa baafti.
20 Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.
Yaa saba ko, kutaa mana keetti ol galiitii duubaan balbala ofitti cufi; hamma dheekkamsi isaa darbutti, yeroo muraasaaf of dhoksi.
21 For, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!'
Kunoo, Waaqayyo sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif uummata lafa irraa adabuuf iddoo jireenya isaatii baʼee dhufaa jira. Lafti dhiiga ishee irratti dhangalaafame sana ifa baafti; siʼachi warra ishee irratti qalaman hin dhoksitu.
