Isaayyaas 48
1 “Yaa mana Yaaqoob, isin warri maqaa Israaʼeliin waamamtan, kanneen sanyii Yihuudaa irraa argamtan, isin warri maqaa Waaqayyootiin kakattanii garuu dhugaadhaan yookaan qajeelummaadhaan utuu hin taʼin maqaa Waaqa Israaʼel dhooftan waan kana dhaggeeffadhaa;
Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the fountain of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 isin warri maqaa magaalaa qulqullittiitiin of waamtan, kanneen Waaqa Israaʼelitti irkattan, waan kana dhaggeeffadhaa; maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha:
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel, the LORD of hosts is His name.
3 Ani wantoota durii duraan dursee dubbadheera; isaan afaan kootii baʼan; 1 anis akka isaan beekaman nan godhe; anis akkuma tasaa hojjedhe; isaanis ni raawwataman.
I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of My mouth, and I announced them; suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
4 Ani akka ati mata jabeessa taate beekeen tureetii; ribuun morma keetii sibiila ture; addi kee naasii ture.
Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 Kanaafuu ani wantoota kanneen bara dheeraan dura sitti himeera; ani akka ati, ‘waaqota koo tolfamootu isaan hojjete; fakkii koo kan muka irraa hojjetamee fi waaqa sibiila irraa hojjetametu murteesse’ jechuu hin dandeenyeef utuu isaan hin uumaminiin dura sitti himeera.
Therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I announced it to thee; lest thou shouldest say: 'Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.'
6 Ati wantoota kanneen dhageesseerta; isaan hunda ilaali. Ati isaan amantee hin fudhattuu? “Ani ammaa jalqabee waan haaraa, waan dhokfamee jiru kan ati hin beekin sitti nan hima.
Thou hast heard, see, all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have announced unto thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known.
7 Isaan amma uumaman malee bara dheeraan dura miti; ati harʼaan dura waaʼee isaanii hin dhageenye. Kanaafuu ati, ‘Kunoo ani waaʼee isaanii beekeen ture’ jechuu hin dandeessu.
They are created now, and not from of old, and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say: 'Behold, I knew them.'
8 Ati takkumaa dhageessee yookaan hubattee hin beektu; gurri kee durumaa jalqabee hin banamne. Ani akka ati micciiramaa taate beeka; ati dhaloota keetii jalqabdee fincilaa jedhamtee waamamte.
Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
9 Ani maqaa kootiif jedhee dheekkamsa koo nan tursiisa; ani akka si hin balleessineef galata kootiif jedhee dheekkamsa koo duubatti harkisa.
For My name's sake will I defer Mine anger, and for My praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Kunoo, ani yoo akka meetiitti taʼuu baate iyyuu si qulqulleesseera; ibidda dhiphinaa keessattis qoree si ilaaleera.
Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have tried thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 Ani ofii kootiif jedhee, ofuma kootiif jedhee waan kana nan godha. Maqaan koo akkamitti baduu dandaʼa? Ani ulfina koo dabarsee kan biraatiif hin kennu.
For Mine own sake, for Mine own sake, will I do it; for how should it be profaned? And My glory will I not give to another.
12 “Yaa Yaaqoob, Yaa Israaʼel kan ani si waame, na dhaggeeffadhu: Ani isuma; ani kan jalqabaa ti; ani kan dhumaa ti.
Hearken unto Me, O Jacob, and Israel My called: I am He; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Harki koo hundeewwan lafaa dhaabe; harki koo mirgaa immoo samiiwwan diriirse; yommuu ani isaan waamutti, hundi isaanii walii wajjin dhaabatu.
Yea, My hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath spread out the heavens; when I call unto them, they stand up together.
14 “Hundi keessan walitti qabamaatii dhaggeeffadhaa; waaqota tolfamoo keessaa kamitu duraan dursee wantoota kanneen dubbate? Michuun Waaqayyoo filatamaan kaayyoo Waaqaa Baabilon irratti fiixaan baasa; irreen isaa Baabilonotatti kaʼa.
Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? He whom the LORD loveth shall perform His pleasure on Babylon, and show His arm on the Chaldeans.
15 Ani, ani mataan koo dubbadheera; dhugumaan ani isa waameera. Ani isa nan fida; innis karaa isaa irratti ni milkaaʼa.
I, even I, have spoken, yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 “Natti dhiʼaadhaatii waan kana dhagaʼaa: “Ani jalqabumaa kaasee dhoksaatti hin dubbanne; yeroo wanni sun taʼettis ani achuman ture.” Ammas Waaqayyo Gooftaanii fi Hafuurri isaa na erganiiru.
Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord GOD hath sent me, and His spirit.
17 Waaqayyo Furiin kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel akkana jedha: “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan waan siif tolu si barsiisu, kan karaa ati deemuu qabdu irra si qajeelchuu dha.
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee for thy profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 Ati utuu ajaja koo qalbeeffattee jiraattee, nagaan kee akka lagaa, qajeelummaan kee immoo akka dhaʼaa galaanaa taʼa ture.
Oh that thou wouldest hearken to My commandments! then would thy peace be as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;
19 Sanyiin kee akkuma cirrachaa, ijoolleen kee akkuma biyyoo lafaa baayʼatu ture; maqaan isaanii hin haqamu; isaanis fuula koo duraa hin dhabaman ture.”
Thy seed also would be as the sand, and the offspring of thy body like the grains thereof; his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before Me.
20 Baabilon keessaa baʼaa; Baabilonota duraa baqadhaa! Waan kana iyya gammachuutiin beeksisaa; labsaas. Hamma handaara lafaatti dabarsaa; “Waaqayyo garbicha isaa Yaaqoobin fureera” jedhaa.
Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye: 'The LORD hath redeemed His servant Jacob.
21 Isaan yommuu inni lafa gammoojjii keessa isaan qajeelchetti hin dheebonne; inni kattaa keessaa bishaan burqisiiseef; inni kattaa dhoosee, bishaanis humnaan cabsee baʼe.
And they thirsted not when He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.'
22 “Hamootaaf nagaan hin jiru” jedha Waaqayyo.
There is no peace, saith the LORD concerning the wicked.
