Isaayyaas 25
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati Waaqa koo ti; waan ati amanamummaa kee kan mudaa hin qabneen wantoota dinqisiisoo bara dheeraan dura karoorfame hojjetteef, ani ulfina siif nan kenna; maqaa kees nan leellisa.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 Ati magaalaa sana tuullaa dhagaa, magaalaa dallaa jajjabaa qabdu immoo diigamaa goote; magaalaan daʼannoo Namoota Ormaa turte sun siʼachi hin jiraattu; isheen gonkumaa deebitee hin ijaaramtu.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Kanaafuu namoonni jajjaboon si kabaju; magaalaawwan saboota gara jabeeyyii si sodaatu.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Ati hiyyeeyyiif lafa itti baqatan, rakkataaf immoo dhiphina isaa keessatti daʼoo, bubbee hamaa jalaa iddoo itti baqatu, hoʼa jalaa immoo iddoo itti qabbaneeffatu turte. Hafuurri gara jabeeyyiin baafatan, akkuma bubbee hamaa dallaa dhagaa dhaʼuutii fi
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 akkuma hoʼa gammoojjii ti. Ati waca alagootaa ni calʼisiifta; akkuma hoʼi gaaddisa duumessaatiin qabbanaaʼu sana, sirbi gara jabeeyyiis ni qabbanaaʼa.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu tulluu kana irratti uummata hundaaf cidha nyaata gaarii, affeerraa daadhii wayinii gogee, foon coomaa fi daadhii wayinii filatamaa ni qopheessa.
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 Inni tulluu kana irratti, haguuggii uummata hundatti haguugame, golgaa saba hundatti golgame ni balleessa;
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 inni bara baraan duʼa ni liqimsa. Waaqayyo Gooftaan fuula hunda irraa imimmaan ni haqa; inni lafa hunda irratti salphina saba isaa ni balleessa. Waaqayyo waan kana dubbateeraatii.
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 Isaan gaafas akkana jedhu; “Dhugumaan kun Waaqa keenya; nu isa amananne; innis nu oolche. Kun Waaqayyoo dha; nu isa amananne; kottaa fayyisuu isaatti gammannaa; ni ililchinas.”
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Harki Waaqayyoo tulluu kana irra ni boqota; Moʼaab garuu akkuma cidiin dikee keessatti dhidhiitamu sana isa jalatti dhidhiitama.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Innis akkuma namni bishaan daaku tokko daakuuf harka balʼifatu sana, gaara sana irratti harka isaa ni balʼifata. Waaqnis of tuulummaa isaanii, ogummaa harka isaanii wajjin gad deebisa.
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 Inni dallaa kee ol dheeraa dhagaan ijaarame sana, akka inni duufu godha; lafatti gad jigsees biyyootti dabala.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
