Isaiah 42
1 Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one — My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.
“Tajaajilaan koo inni ani utubee dhaabu, filatamaan koo kan ani itti gammadu isa kana; ani Hafuura koo isa irra nan kaaʼa; inni sabootaaf murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
2 He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard, in the street.
Inni hin wacu yookaan hin iyyu; yookaan daandii irratti sagalee isaa hin dhageessisu.
3 A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.
Shambaqqoo buruqe hin cabsu; foʼaa ibsaa kan seequs hin dhaamsu. Inni amanamummaadhaan murtii qajeelaa ni fida;
4 He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope.
hamma murtii qajeelaa lafa irratti fidutti, inni hin dadhabu; abdiis hin kutatu. Biyyoonni bishaan gidduu seera isaa ni abdatu.”
5 Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
Waaqayyo Waaqni samiiwwan uumee diriirse, inni lafaa fi wantoota ishee keessa jiran hunda hojjete, inni saba isheetiif hafuura baafatan kennee warra ishee irra jiraataniifis jireenya kenne sun akkana jedha:
6 I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
“Ani Waaqayyo qajeelummaadhaan si waameera; harka kees nan qaba. Ani si eegee sabootaaf kakuu, Namoota Ormaatiif immoo ifa sin taasisa;
7 To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.
atis ija jaamotaa ni banta; mana hidhaatii boojiʼamtoota ni hiikta; warra dukkana keessa jiraatanis hidhaadhaa ni baafta.
8 I [am] Jehovah, this [is] My name, And Mine honour to another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images.
“Ani Waaqayyo; maqaan koos kanaa dha! Ani ulfina koo kan biraatiif, galata koos waaqota tolfamoof dabarsee hin kennu.
9 The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
Kunoo wanni duraanii raawwatameera; anis waan haaraa nan dubbadha; utuu isaan hin biqilin, ani waaʼee isaanii sitti nan odeessa.”
10 Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness, Isles, and their inhabitants.
Isin warri galaana buutanii fi wantoonni achi keessa jiraattan hundi, biyyoonni bishaan gidduu fi warri achi keessa jiraattan hundi, faarfannaa haaraa Waaqayyoof faarfadhaa; handaara lafaatiis galata isaa faarfadhaa.
11 The wilderness and its cities do lift up [the voice], The villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela, From the top of mountains they cry.
Gammoojjii fi magaalaawwan ishee sagalee isaanii ol haa fudhatan; gandoonni Qeedaar keessa jiraatan haa gammadan. Namoonni Seelaa gammachuudhaan haa faarfatan; fiixee tulluuwwanii irraa haa iyyan.
12 They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.
Isaan Waaqayyoof ulfina haa kennan; biyyoota bishaan gidduu keessattis galata isaa haa labsan.
13 Jehovah as a mighty one goeth forth. As a man of war He stirreth up zeal, He crieth, yea, He shrieketh, Against His enemies He showeth Himself mighty.
Waaqayyo akka nama jabaa tokkootti ni duula; akka goota tokkoottis onnee isaa kakaasa; sagalee ol fudhatees ni dhaadata; diinota isaa irrattis ol aantummaa argata.
14 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow up together.
“Ani yeroo dheeraaf calʼiseera; ani afaan qabadhee of dhowweera. Amma garuu akka dubartii ciniinsuun qabeetti nan iyya; nan argana; hafuurris na cita.
15 I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up.
Ani tulluuwwanii fi gaarran nan onsa; biqiltuuwwan isaanii hundas nan gogsa; ani lageen biyyoota bishaan gidduutti nan geeddara; haroowwanis nan gogsa.
16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
Ani jaamota karaa isaan hin beekne irra nan qajeelcha; daandii duraan hin beekamin irra nan deemsisa; ani dukkana fuula isaanii dura jiru ifatti nan geeddara; lafa buʼaa bayiis wal nan qixxeessa. Wanni ani hojjedhu kanneenii dha; ani isaan hin dhiisu.
17 Removed backward — utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, 'Ye [are] our gods.'
Warri waaqota tolfamoo amanatan, kanneen fakkiiwwaniin, ‘Isin waaqota keenya’ jedhan garuu duubatti deebiʼu; ni salphatus.
18 Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.
“Isin duudota nana, dhagaʼaa; jaamota nana, ilaalaa; argaas!
19 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?
Tajaajilaa koo malee jaamaan eenyu? Duudaan akka ergamaa ani ergu sanaas eenyu? Jaamaan akka nama anaaf of kennee, jaamaan akka Garbicha Waaqayyoo eenyu?
20 Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.
Ati waan baayʼee argite; garuu hin qalbeeffanne; gurri kee banaa dha; garuu ati waan tokko iyyuu hin dhageessu.”
21 Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.
Waaʼee qajeelummaa isaatiif jedhee seera isaa guddisuu fi ulfina qabeessa gochuun Waaqayyoon gammachiiseera.
22 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes — all of them, And in houses of restraint they were hidden, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, 'Restore.'
Sabni kun garuu saba saamamee boojiʼamee dha; hundii isaanii boolla keessatti kiyyoodhaan qabamaniiru; mana hidhaa keessas dhokfamaniiru. Isaan fudhatamaniiru; kan isaan baraarus hin jiru; isaan boojiʼamaniiru; namni, “Isaan deebisaa” jedhus hin jiru.
23 Who among you giveth ear [to] this? Attendeth, and heareth afterwards.
Isin keessaa eenyutu waan kana dhaggeeffata? Bara dhufuuf jiru keessas eenyutu qalbeeffatee dhagaʼa?
24 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not Jehovah — He against whom we sinned? Yea, they have not been willing in His ways to walk, Nor have they hearkened to His law.
Eenyutu Yaaqoobin boojuuf, Israaʼelinis saamtotatti dabarsee kenne? Kan nu cubbuu itti hojjenne, Waaqayyo mitii? Isaan sababii karaa isaa duukaa hin buuneef, seera isaatiif hin ajajamne.
25 And He poureth on him fury, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it setteth him on fire round about, And he hath not known, And it burneth against him, and he layeth it not to heart!
Kanaafuu inni dheekkamsa isaa bobaʼaa sana, waraana hamaas isaanitti erge. Arraba ibiddaatiin isaan marse; isaan garuu hin hubanne; ibiddi sunis isaan gube; isaan garuu hin qalbeeffanne.
