Isaayyaas 43
1 Amma garuu yaa Yaaqoob, Waaqayyo inni si uume, yaa Israaʼel, inni si tolche akkana jedha: “Ani si fureeraatii hin sodaatin; ani maqaa keetiin si waameera; ati kan koo ti.
And now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and called thee by thy name: thou art mine.
2 Yommuu ati bishaan keessa dabartu, ani si wajjinan jira; yommuu ati lageen ceetus, isaan si hin liqimsan. Yommuu ibidda keessa deemtu, ati hin gubattu; arrabni ibiddaas si hin gubu.
When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and the rivers shall not cover thee: when thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and the flames shall not burn in thee:
3 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqni kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel Fayyisaa keeti; ani biyya Gibxi furii keetiif, qooda kee immoo Kuushii fi Saabaa nan kenna.
For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I have given Egypt for thy atonement, Ethiopia and Saba for thee.
4 Waan ati ija koo duratti jaallatamaa fi kabajamaa taateef, anis waanan si jaalladhuuf, qooda kee namoota qooda lubbuu keetii immoo saboota nan kenna.
Since thou becamest honourable in my eyes, thou art glorious: I have loved thee, and I will give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Ani si wajjinan jiraatii hin sodaatin; ani ijoollee kee baʼa biiftuutii nan fida; lixa biiftuutiis walitti sin qaba.
Fear not, for I am with thee: I will. bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.
6 Ani Kaabaan, ‘Isaan gad dhiisi!’ Kibbaan immoo ‘Isaan hin dhowwin’ nan jedha. Ilmaan koo fagoodhaa, intallan koo immoo handaara lafaatii fidi;
I will say to the north: Give up: and to the south: Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 kan maqaa kootiin waamame hunda, kanneen ani ulfina kootiif uume, warra ani tolchee fi hojjedhe sana fidaa.”
And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, and made him.
8 Warra utuu ija qabanuu jaamanii utuu gurra qabanuu duudan gad baasi.
Bring forth the people that are blind, and have eyes: that are deaf, and have ears.
9 Sabni hundi tokkummaadhaan walitti haa qabamu; namoonnis wal haa gaʼan. Isaan keessaa namni duraan dursee waan kana nutti himee wantoota duraas nuuf labse eenyu? Akka warri kaan dhagaʼanii, “Kun dhugaa dha” jedhaniif, akka dhugaa qabeeyyii taʼuun isaanii mirkaneeffamuuf isaan dhuga baatota isaanii haa dhiʼeeffatan.
All the nations are assembled together, and the tribes are gathered: who among you can declare this, and shall make us hear the former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, let them be justified, and hear, and say: It is truth.
10 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Akka isin beektanii na amantaniif akka ani isa taʼes akka hubattaniif isin dhuga baatota koo, garbicha koo kan ani filadhee dha. Anaan dura waaqni hin hojjetamne; anaan booddees hin jiraatu.
You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there shall be none.
11 Ana, anuma qofatu Waaqayyo; ana malees fayyisaan biraa hin jiru.
I am, I am the Lord: and there is no saviour besides me.
12 Ani mulʼiseera; fayyiseera; labseeras; ana malee waaqni ormaa gidduu keessan hin turre. Akka ani Waaqa taʼe, isin dhuga baatota koo ti” jedha Waaqayyo.
I have declared, and have saved. I have made it heard, and there was no strange one among you. You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.
13 “Bara duriitii jalqabee ani isuma. Namni tokko iyyuu harka kootii waa baasuu hin dandaʼu. Ani nan hojjedha; eenyutu dhowwuu dandaʼa?”
And from the beginning I am the same, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall turn it away?
14 Waaqayyo Furiin kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani isiniif jedhee Baabilonitti loltoota ergee dooniiwwan isaan ittiin boonaniin namoota Baabilon hunda boojiʼee nan fida.
Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.
15 Ani Waaqayyo, Qulqullicha keessan, Uumaa Israaʼel, Mootii keessanii dha.”
I am the Lord your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 Waaqayyo inni, galaana keessaan karaa, bishaanota jajjaboo keessaan immoo daandii tolche akkana jedha;
Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
17 inni gaariiwwanii fi fardeen, loltootaa fi gargaartota isaanii tokkummaadhaan ariʼee baase akkana jedha; isaan achuma ciciisu; lammatas hin kaʼan; akkuma foʼaa ibsaattis dhaamanii badu;
Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong: they lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax, and are extinct.
18 “Wantoota durii irraanfadhaa; waan darbettis hin cichinaa.
Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
19 Kunoo, ani waan haaraa tokko nan hojjedhaa! Innis amma ni biqila; isin hin hubattanii? Ani gammoojjii keessatti karaa nan qopheessa; lafa onaa keessattis burqaa nan burqisiisa.
Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 Bineensonni bosonaa, waangoowwanii fi guchiiwwan ulfina naaf kennu; akka sabni koo kan ani filadhe dhuguuf, ani gammoojjii keessatti bishaan, lafa onaa keessattis burqaa nan kennaatii;
The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen.
21 sabni ani ofii kootiif filadhe akka na galateeffatuuf ture.
This people have I formed for myself, they shall shew forth my praise.
22 “Yaa Yaaqoob, ati garuu na hin waammanne; yaa Israaʼel, ati fuula koo duratti dadhabdeerta.
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
23 Ati aarsaa gubamuu fi hoolota naaf hin fidne; yookaan aarsaa keetiin ulfina naaf hin kennine. Ani aarsaa midhaaniitiin si hin rakkifne; yookaan aarsaa ixaanaa gaafachuudhaan si hin dadhabsiifne.
Thou hast not offered me the ram of thy holocaust, nor hast thou glorified me with thy victims: I have not caused thee to serve with oblations, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Ati qundhii urgaa gaarii qabu naa hin binne; yookaan cooma qalma keetiitiin na hin quubsine. Garuu baʼaa cubbuu keetii natti feete; yakka keetiinis na dadhabsiifte.
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
25 “Kan ofii kootiif jedhee yakka kee sirraa haqee cubbuu kees deebiʼee hin yaadanne, ani anuma.
I am, I am he that blot out thy iniquities for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
26 Mee waan darbe irra naa deebiʼi; walitti dhufnee dubbii kana irratti haa falminu; dubbii kee dhiʼeeffadhuutii qajeelaa taʼuu kee mirkaneeffadhu.
Put me in remembrance, and let us plead together: tell if thou hast any thing to justify thyself.
27 Abbaan kee kan jalqabaa cubbuu hojjete; barsiistonni kee natti fincilan.
Thy brat father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28 Kanaafuu ani itti gaafatamtoota mana qulqullummaa keetii nan salphisa; Yaaqoobin badiisaaf, Israaʼelin immoo tuffiif dabarsee nan kenna.
And I have profaned the holy princes, I have given Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to reproach.
