Isaayyaas 51
1 “Isin warri qajeelummaa duukaa buutan, warri Waaqayyoon barbaaddan na dhaggeeffadhaa: Isin kattaa irraa argamtan, boolla keessaa baafamtan sana ilaalaa.
Hearken to me, ye who follow after righteousness, ye who seek Jehovah. Look to the rock from where ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit from where ye were dug.
2 Abbaa keessan Abrahaamii fi Saaraa ishee isin deesse sana ilaalaa. Yeroo ani isa waametti, inni tokkicha ture; ani isa nan eebbise; nan baayʼises.
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you. For when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
3 Waaqayyo dhugumaan Xiyoonin ni jajjabeessa; diigama ishee hundas gara laafinaan ni ilaala; inni gammoojjii ishee goggogaa akka Eeden, lafa onaa ishees akka iddoo biqiltuu Waaqayyoo ni godha. Ililchuu fi gammaduun, galannii fi sagaleen faarfannaa ishee keessatti argama.
For Jehovah has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 “Yaa uummata koo na dhaggeeffadhaa; yaa saba koo na dhagaʼaa; seerri na biraa baʼa; murtiin koos sabootaaf ifa taʼa.
Attend to me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my nation. For a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
5 Qajeelummaan koo dafee dhiʼaata; fayyisuun koos dhufaa jira; irreen koo moototaaf murtii qajeelaa fida; biyyoonni bishaan gidduu na eeggatu; irree koos ni abdatu.
My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples. The isles shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall trust.
6 Ija keessan gara samiiwwaniitti ol qabadhaa; lafas gad ilaalaa; samiiwwan akkuma aaraa ni badu; lafti akkuma wayyaa moofofti. Jiraattonni ishees akkuma tisiisaa ni duʼan. Fayyisuun koo garuu bara baraan jiraata; qajeelummaan koos hin badu.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath. For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 “Isin warri waan qajeelaa beektan namoonni seera koo garaa keessaa qabdan na dhagaʼaa; tuffii namootaa hin sodaatinaa; yookaan arrabsoo isaaniitiin hin raafaminaa.
Hearken to me, ye who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, nor be ye dismayed at their revilings.
8 Biliin akka wayyaatti isaan nyaatti; raammoonis akkuma rifeensa hoolaatti isaan fixxi. Garuu qajeelummaan koo bara baraan, fayyisuun koos dhalootaa gara dhalootaatti itti fufa.”
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.
9 Yaa irree Waaqayyoo, kaʼi; kaʼi! Jabina uffadhu; akkuma baroota darbanii, akkuma dhaloota durii keessatti taʼe sana kaʼi. Kan Raʼaabin kukkute, kan jawwee galaanaa waraane sun suma mitii?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10 Inni akka warri furaman ceʼaniif, galaanicha, bishaan tuujuba guddichaa gogse, kan dhidhima galaanaa keessaan karaa baase suma mitii?
Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Warri Waaqayyo isaan fure ni deebiʼu. Isaan faarfannaadhaan Xiyoon seenu; gammachuun bara baraa mataa isaanii irra jiraata. Isaan gammachuu fi ililleedhaan guutamu; gaddii fi booʼichi isaan irraa fagaatu.
And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 “Kan isin jajjabeessu ana; anuma. Yoos maaliif namoota duʼa hin oolle, ilmaan namaa kanneen akkuma margaa taʼan sodaattu ree?
I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are thou, that thou are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass,
13 Ati kan Waaqayyo Tolchaa kee, isa samiiwwan diriirsee hundee lafaa buuse sana dagattu eenyu? Ati kan sababii dheekkamsa cunqursaa waa balleessuuf qophaaʼe sanaatiif utuu gargar hin kutin guyyaa guyyaan sodaattu eenyu? Yoos dheekkamsi cunqursaa sanaa meerree?
and have forgotten Jehovah thy maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Boojiʼamtoonni hidhaman ariitiidhaan gad dhiifamu; isaan boolla itti hidhaman keessatti hin duʼan yookaan buddeena hin dhaban.
The captive exile shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
15 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan akka dhaʼaan bishaanii huursuuf galaana raasuu dha; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirs up the sea so that the waves of it roar. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
16 Ani kan samiiwwan iddoo isaanii kaaʼe, kan hundee lafaa hundeessee Xiyooniin, ‘Ati saba koo ti’ jedhe sun, dubbii koo afaan kee keessa kaaʼeera; gaaddidduu harka kootiinis si haguugeera.”
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou are my people.
17 Yaa Yerusaalem, ati kan harka Waaqayyoo irraa, xoofoo dheekkamsa isaa keessaa dhugde, ati kan xoofoo dhugaatii nama gatantarsuu keessaa siicoo isaa xuruurfattee dhugde, dammaqi, dammaqi! Ol kaʼi.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath. Thou have drunk the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 Ilmaan isheen deesse hunda keessaa, kan ishee qajeelchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; ilmaan isheen guddifte hunda keessaas, kan harka ishee qabu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth, nor is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons that she has brought up.
19 Balaawwan kunneen dachaadhaan sitti dhufaniiru; egaa eenyutu si jajjabeessuu dandaʼa? Diigamnii fi badiisni, beellii fi goraadeen sitti dhufaniiru; eegaa eenyutu si jajjabeessuu dandaʼa?
These two things have befallen thee (Who shall bemoan thee?): Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. How shall I comfort thee?
20 Ijoolleen kee gaggabaniiru; akkuma borofa kiyyoon qabame tokkoo, roga karaa irra ciciisu. Isaan dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiin, ifata Waaqa keetiinis guutamaniiru.
Thy sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
21 Kanaafuu yaa ishee miidhamte, kan utuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugin machoofte, waan kana dhagaʼi.
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine.
22 Waaqayyo Gooftaan kee, Waaqni kee inni saba isaa eegu akkana jedha: “Kunoo ani xoofoo dhugaatii nama gatantarsu harka keetii fuudheera; ati siʼachi xoofoo dheekkamsa koo keessaa deebitee hin dhugdu.
Thus says thy lord Jehovah, and thy God who pleads the cause of his people: Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. Thou shall no more drink it again.
23 Anis xoofoo sana harka warra si dhiphisan kanneen, ‘Akka nu sirra yaanuuf, lafa irra diriirfami’ siin jedhan sanaa keessa nan kaaʼa. Ati immoo dugda kee akkuma lafaa, akkuma daandii namni irra deemuu goote.”
And I will put it into the hand of those who afflict thee, who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over, and thou have laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to those who go over.
