Isaayyaas 51
1 “Isin warri qajeelummaa duukaa buutan, warri Waaqayyoon barbaaddan na dhaggeeffadhaa: Isin kattaa irraa argamtan, boolla keessaa baafamtan sana ilaalaa.
“Listen to Me, you pursuing righteousness, Seeking YHWH, Look attentively to the rock—you have been hewn, And to the hole of the pit—you have been 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 attentively to your father Abraham, And to Sarah—she brings you forth, For—one—I have called him, And I bless him, and multiply him.”
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 YHWH has comforted Zion, He has comforted all her ruins, And He sets her wilderness as Eden, And her desert as a garden of YHWH, Joy, indeed, gladness is found in her, Confession, and the voice of song.
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, O My nation, give ear to Me. For a law goes out from Me, And My judgment to the light, I cause peoples to rest.
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 out, And My arms judge peoples, Islands wait on Me, Indeed, on My arm they wait with hope.
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 attentively to the earth beneath, For the heavens have vanished as smoke, And the earth wears out as a garment, And its inhabitants die as gnats, And My salvation is for all time, And My righteousness is not broken.
7 “Isin warri waan qajeelaa beektan namoonni seera koo garaa keessaa qabdan na dhagaʼaa; tuffii namootaa hin sodaatinaa; yookaan arrabsoo isaaniitiin hin raafaminaa.
Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, A people in whose heart [is] My law, Do not fear the reproach of men, And do not be frightened of their reviling,
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 a moth eats them as a garment, And a worm eats them as wool, And My righteousness is for all time, And My salvation from generation to generation.”
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 YHWH, Awake, as [in] days of old, generations of the ages, Are You not it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon?
10 Inni akka warri furaman ceʼaniif, galaanicha, bishaan tuujuba guddichaa gogse, kan dhidhima galaanaa keessaan karaa baase suma mitii?
Are You not it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That has made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?
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 YHWH return, And they have come to Zion with singing, And continuous joy [is] on their head, They attain gladness and joy, Sorrow and sighing have fled away,
12 “Kan isin jajjabeessu ana; anuma. Yoos maaliif namoota duʼa hin oolle, ilmaan namaa kanneen akkuma margaa taʼan sodaattu ree?
“I [am] He who comforts you, Who [are] you—and you are afraid of man? He dies! And of the son of man—he is made [like] 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 you forget YHWH your Maker, Who is stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, And you continually fear all the day, Because of the fury of the oppressor, As he has prepared 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.
A wanderer has hurried to be loosed, And he does not die in the pit, And his bread is not lacking.
15 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan akka dhaʼaan bishaanii huursuuf galaana raasuu dha; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
And I [am] your God YHWH, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, YHWH 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 put My words in your mouth, And have covered you with the shadow of My hand, To plant the heavens, and to found earth, And to say to Zion, You [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.
Stir yourself, stir yourself, rise, Jerusalem, You who have drunk from the hand of YHWH The cup of His fury, The goblet, the cup of trembling, you have drunk, You have wrung out.
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 not a leader to her Out of all the sons she has borne, And there is none laying hold on her hand Out of all the sons she has nourished.
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 are meeting you, Who is moved for you? Spoiling and destruction, famine and sword! By whom do I comfort you?
20 Ijoolleen kee gaggabaniiru; akkuma borofa kiyyoon qabame tokkoo, roga karaa irra ciciisu. Isaan dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiin, ifata Waaqa keetiinis guutamaniiru.
Your sons have been wrapped up, they have lain down, At the head of all out places, as an antelope [in] a dragnet, They are full of the fury of YHWH, The rebuke of Your God.
21 Kanaafuu yaa ishee miidhamte, kan utuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugin machoofte, waan kana dhagaʼi.
Therefore, please hear this, O afflicted and drunken one, and 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 said your Lord YHWH, and your God, He pleads [for] His people: “Behold, I have taken the cup of trembling out of your hand, The goblet, the cup of My fury, You do not add to drink it anymore.
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 have put it into the hand of those afflicting you, Who have said to your soul, Bow down, and we pass over, And you make your body as the earth, And as the street to those passing by!”
