Isaayyaas 42
1 “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.
Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
2 Inni hin wacu yookaan hin iyyu; yookaan daandii irratti sagalee isaa hin dhageessisu.
He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
3 Shambaqqoo buruqe hin cabsu; foʼaa ibsaa kan seequs hin dhaamsu. Inni amanamummaadhaan murtii qajeelaa ni fida;
The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
4 hamma murtii qajeelaa lafa irratti fidutti, inni hin dadhabu; abdiis hin kutatu. Biyyoonni bishaan gidduu seera isaa ni abdatu.”
He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
5 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:
Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it.
6 “Ani Waaqayyo qajeelummaadhaan si waameera; harka kees nan qaba. Ani si eegee sabootaaf kakuu, Namoota Ormaatiif immoo ifa sin taasisa;
I, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
7 atis ija jaamotaa ni banta; mana hidhaatii boojiʼamtoota ni hiikta; warra dukkana keessa jiraatanis hidhaadhaa ni baafta.
so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
8 “Ani Waaqayyo; maqaan koos kanaa dha! Ani ulfina koo kan biraatiif, galata koos waaqota tolfamoof dabarsee hin kennu.
I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Kunoo wanni duraanii raawwatameera; anis waan haaraa nan dubbadha; utuu isaan hin biqilin, ani waaʼee isaanii sitti nan odeessa.”
The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
10 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.
Sing to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 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.
Let the desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
12 Isaan Waaqayyoof ulfina haa kennan; biyyoota bishaan gidduu keessattis galata isaa haa labsan.
They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to the islands.
13 Waaqayyo akka nama jabaa tokkootti ni duula; akka goota tokkoottis onnee isaa kakaasa; sagalee ol fudhatees ni dhaadata; diinota isaa irrattis ol aantummaa argata.
The Lord will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
14 “Ani yeroo dheeraaf calʼiseera; ani afaan qabadhee of dhowweera. Amma garuu akka dubartii ciniinsuun qabeetti nan iyya; nan argana; hafuurris na cita.
I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all at once.
15 Ani tulluuwwanii fi gaarran nan onsa; biqiltuuwwan isaanii hundas nan gogsa; ani lageen biyyoota bishaan gidduutti nan geeddara; haroowwanis nan gogsa.
I will desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
16 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.
And I will lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned them.
17 Warri waaqota tolfamoo amanatan, kanneen fakkiiwwaniin, ‘Isin waaqota keenya’ jedhan garuu duubatti deebiʼu; ni salphatus.
They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
18 “Isin duudota nana, dhagaʼaa; jaamota nana, ilaalaa; argaas!
You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
19 Tajaajilaa koo malee jaamaan eenyu? Duudaan akka ergamaa ani ergu sanaas eenyu? Jaamaan akka nama anaaf of kennee, jaamaan akka Garbicha Waaqayyoo eenyu?
Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
20 Ati waan baayʼee argite; garuu hin qalbeeffanne; gurri kee banaa dha; garuu ati waan tokko iyyuu hin dhageessu.”
You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
21 Waaʼee qajeelummaa isaatiif jedhee seera isaa guddisuu fi ulfina qabeessa gochuun Waaqayyoon gammachiiseera.
And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
22 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.
But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
23 Isin keessaa eenyutu waan kana dhaggeeffata? Bara dhufuuf jiru keessas eenyutu qalbeeffatee dhagaʼa?
Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
24 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.
Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? Is it not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to his law.
25 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.
And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
