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.
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have 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 passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon 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 gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba 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 wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I 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 far, 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.”
[Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8 Warra utuu ija qabanuu jaamanii utuu gurra qabanuu duudan gad baasi.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that 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.
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them 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.
Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 Ana, anuma qofatu Waaqayyo; ana malees fayyisaan biraa hin jiru.
I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour.
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, and I have shewed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God.
13 “Bara duriitii jalqabee ani isuma. Namni tokko iyyuu harka kootii waa baasuu hin dandaʼu. Ani nan hojjedha; eenyutu dhowwuu dandaʼa?”
Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
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 have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the 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, which maketh 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;
Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 “Wantoota durii irraanfadhaa; waan darbettis hin cichinaa.
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the 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 will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even 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 honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, 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; but thou hast been weary of 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 brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, 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 sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 “Kan ofii kootiif jedhee yakka kee sirraa haqee cubbuu kees deebiʼee hin yaadanne, ani anuma.
I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and 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: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27 Abbaan kee kan jalqabaa cubbuu hojjete; barsiistonni kee natti fincilan.
Thy first father hath 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.
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
