Isaayyaas 45
1 “Waaqayyo dibamaa isaa Qiiros, kan ani saboota isa jalatti bulchuu fi hidhannaa moototaa hiiksisuuf jedhee harka isaa mirgaa qabee akka karrawwan hin cufamneef, balbalawwan banuuf sanaan akkana jedha:
Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
2 Ani fuula kee dura deemee tulluuwwan wal nan qixxeessa; karrawwan naasii nan caccabsa; danqaraawwan sibiilaas nan kukkuta.
I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
3 Ati akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel isa maqaa keetiin si waamu taʼe akka beektuuf, ani badhaadhummaa dukkana keessaa, qabeenya lafa dhoksaatti kuufames siif nan kenna.
And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
4 Ati na beekuu baattu iyyuu, ani garbicha koo Yaaqoobiif, Israaʼel filatamaa kootiif jedhee maqaa keetiin si waameera; maqaa ulfinaas siif kenneera.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
5 Ani Waaqayyo; ana malee kan biraa hin jiru; ana malee Waaqni tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Ati na beekuu baattu iyyuu, ani sin jabeessa;
For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
6 Kunis akka namoonni baʼa biiftuutii hamma lixa biiftuutti, ana malee kan biraa akka hin jirre beekaniif. Ani Waaqayyo; ana malee tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
7 Ani ifa nan tolcha; dukkanas nan uuma; badhaadhummaa nan fida; balaas nan uuma; ani Waaqayyo wantoota kanneen hunda nan godha.
I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
8 “Yaa samiiwwan, isin ol gubbaadhaa qajeelummaa roobsaa; duumessoonnis gad coccobsaa. Lafti haa banamtu; fayyinni haa biqilu; qajeelummaanis isa wajjin haa guddatu; ani Waaqayyo waan kana uumeera.
Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
9 “Qiraacii qiraaciidhuma lafaa taʼee Uumaa isaatiin wal loluuf wayyoo. Supheen, suphee dhooftuudhaan, ‘Ati maal hojjechaa jirta?’ jedhaa? Hojiin ati hojjettus, ‘Inni harka hin qabu’ siin jedhaa?
What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
10 Nama Abbaadhaan, ‘Ati maal dhalchite?’ yookaan haadhaan, ‘Ati maal deesse?’ jedhuuf wayyoo.
As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
11 “Waaqayyo, Qulqullichi Israaʼel Uumaan ishee sun akkana jedha: Isin waaʼee wantoota dhufuuf jiranii jechuunis, ‘Waaʼee ijoollee koo na gaafadhaa; yookaan waaʼee hojii harka koo na ajajaa.’
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
12 Kan lafa tolchee namas ishee irratti uume ana. Harki koo samiiwwan diriirseera; raayyaa isaanii hundas ajajeera.
I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
13 Ani qajeelummaa kootiin Qiirosin ol nan kaasa: Karaa isaa hundas wal nan qixxeessa. Inni magaalaa koo deebisee ijaara; boojiʼamtoota koos bilisa baasa; garuu gatiidhaan yookaan badhaasaan miti, jedha Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.”
I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
14 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Qabeenyi Gibxii fi daldalli Itoophiyaa, namoonni dhedheeroon Saabaa, gara kee ni dhufu; kan kees ni taʼu; isaan foncaadhaan hidhamanii dugda duubaan si duukaa buʼu. Fuula kee durattis gad jedhanii ‘Dhugumaan Waaqni si wajjin jira; isa malees tokko iyyuu hin jiru; isa malees Waaqni biraa hin jiru’ jedhanii si kadhatu.”
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
15 Yaa Waaqi, Fayyisaa Israaʼel, ati dhugumaan Waaqa of dhoksituu dha.
For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Warri waaqota tolfamoo tolchan hundinuu ni qaanaʼu; ni salphatu; walii wajjinis salphina keessa buʼu.
All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
17 Israaʼel garuu fayyina bara baraatiin Waaqayyo ni fayyifama; isin bara baraan hin qaanoftan; yookaan hin salphattan.
Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
18 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; kan samiiwwan uume, inni Waaqa; inni lafa miidhagsee tolchee ishee hundeesse; inni akka isheen iddoo jireenyaa taatuuf ishee uume malee akka isheen ona taatuuf ishee hin uumne; inni akkana jedha; “Ani Waaqayyo; ana malee kan biraa hin jiru.
Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
19 Ani biyya dukkanaa keessaa dhoksaadhaan hin dubbanne; ani sanyiiwwan Yaaqoobiin, ‘Akkasumaan na barbaadaa’ hin jenne. Ani Waaqayyo dhugaa nan dubbadha; waan qajeelaas nan labsa.
I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
20 “Walitti qabamaa kottaa; isin baqattoonni sabootaa wal gaʼaa. Warri waaqa tolfamaa muka irraa hojjetame baatan, kanneen waaqota fayyisuu hin dandeenye kadhatan homaa beekumsa hin qaban.
Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
21 Waanan taʼuu qabu dubbadhaa; dhiʼeeffadhaas; isaanis walii wajjin haa mariʼatan. Eenyutu waan kana duraan dursee bara dheeraan dura hime? Duruma iyyuu eenyutu labse? Anuma Waaqayyo mitii? Ana malee Waaqni qajeelaa fi Fayyisaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru; ana malee tokko illee hin jiru.
If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
22 “Isin warri handaara lafaa hundi, gara kootti deebiʼaatii fayyaa; ani Waaqa; ana malee kan biraa hin jiruutii.
Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
23 Ani mataa kootiin kakadheera; afaan koos akkana jedhee qajeelummaadhaan dubbii hin geeddaramne dubbateera; ‘Jilbi hundi fuula koo duratti ni jilbeenfata; arrabni hundis anaan kakata.’
By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
24 Isaanis, ‘Qajeelummaa fi jabinni Waaqayyo qofaan argama’ jedhanii waaʼee koo ni dubbatu.” Warri aariidhaan isatti kaʼan hundi, gara isaa dhufanii ni qaanaʼu.
saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
25 Sanyiin Israaʼel hundi garuu, Waaqayyoon qajeeltota taasifamu; ni kabajamus.
By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
