Isaayyaas 50
1 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Waraqaan ragaa, kan ani ittiin haadha keessan hiikee of irraa ittiin ishee geggeesse meerre? Yookaan namni liqii narraa qabu kan ani itti isin gurgure eenyu? Isin sababii cubbuu keessaniif gurguramtaniirtu; sababii yakka keessaniitiifis haati keessan ariʼamteerti.
Thus says the Lord: What is this bill of divorce for your mother, by which I have dismissed her? Or who is my creditor, to whom I have sold you? Behold, you were sold by your iniquities, and I have dismissed your mother for your wickedness.
2 Yeroo ani dhufetti namni maaliif achi hin jiraatin? Yeroo ani waametti namni owwaatu maaliif achii dhabame? Harki koo akka furuu hin dandeenyeef gabaabateeraa? Ani isin baraaruuf humna dhabeeraa? Ani dheekkamsa qofaan galaana nan gogsa; lageenis gammoojjiitti nan geeddara; qurxummiiwwan isaanii bishaan dhabanii ajaaʼu; dheebuudhaanis ni dhumu.
For I arrived, and there was no man. I called out, and there was no one who would hear. Has my hand been shortened and become small, so that I am unable to redeem? Or is there no power in me to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke, I will make the sea into a desert. I will turn rivers into dry land. The fish will rot for lack of water and will die of thirst.
3 Ani samiitti dukkana nan uffisa; wayyaa gaddaas itti nan haguuga.”
I will clothe the heavens in darkness, and I will make sackcloth their covering.
4 Akka ani warra dadhaban jajjabeessuuf, Waaqayyo Gooftaan arraba barate naa kenneera. Inni ganama ganama na dammaqsa; akka inni akkuma barataa tokkootti dhaggeeffatuufis gurra koo dammaqsa.
The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I would know how to uphold with a word, one who has weakened. He rises in the morning, he rises to my ear in the morning, so that I may heed him like a teacher.
5 Waaqayyo Gooftaan gurra koo naa baneera; anis fincilaa hin turre; ani dugda duubatti hin deebine.
The Lord God has opened my ear. And I do not contradict him. I have not turned back.
6 Ani warra na rukutanitti dugda koo, warra areeda narraa buqqisanitti immoo maddii koo nan kenne; yeroo isaan natti qoosanii hancufa natti tufanitti, ani fuula koo isaan hin dhokfanne.
I have given my body to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who plucked them. I have not averted my face from those who rebuked me and who spit on me.
7 Sababii Waaqayyo Gooftaan na gargaaruuf, ani hin salphifamu. Kanaafuu ani fuula koo akkuma dhagaa gurraachaa godhadheera; ani akka hin qaaneffamne illee nan beeka.
The Lord God is my helper. Therefore, I have not been confounded. Therefore, I have set my face like a very hard rock, and I know that I will not be confounded.
8 Inni dhugaa naaf baasu dhiʼoo jira. Yoos eenyutu na himata ree? Mee walitti gad haa baanu! Himataan koo eenyu? Inni mee natti gad haa baʼu!
He who justifies me is near. Who will speak against me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary? Let him approach me.
9 Waaqayyo Gooftaatu na gargaara. Eenyutu natti mura? Isaan hundi akkuma wayyaa moofaʼu; dholdholeenis isaan nyaatti.
Behold, the Lord God is my helper. Who is the one who would condemn me? Behold, they will all be worn away like a garment; the moth will devour them.
10 Isin keessaa kan Waaqayyoon sodaatee dubbii garbicha isaatiif ajajamu eenyu? Namni dukkana keessa deddeebiʼu, kan ifa hin qabne, maqaa Waaqayyoo amanatee Waaqa isaatti haa irkatu.
Who is there among you who fears the Lord? Who hears the voice of his servant? Who has walked in darkness, and there is no light in him? Let him hope in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon his God.
11 Amma garuu isin warri ibidda bobeessitanii guca bobaʼaa deemu qabattan hundinuu ifa ibiddaa keessaniitii fi ifa guca bobeessitanii keessa deemaa. Wanni isin harka koo irraa argattan kanaa dha; isin dhiphinaan ni ciciiftu.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, wrapped in flames: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have kindled. This has been done to you by my hand. You will sleep in anguish.
