Isaayyaas 52
1 Yaa Xiyoon, dammaqi, dammaqi; jabina kee uffadhu! Yaa Yerusaalem, yaa magaalaa qulqullittii, wayyaa kee miidhagaa sana uffadhu. Namoonni dhagna hin qabaminii fi xuraaʼonni lammaffaa sitti hin seenan.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, thou holy city; for no more shall enter into thee henceforth the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Yaa Yerusaalem, awwaara of irraa dhadhaʼadhu; kaʼiitii teessoo irra taaʼi. Yaa intala Xiyoon boojiʼamtittii, foncaa morma keetii of irraa hiiki.
Shake thyself free from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem: loosen thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive, daughter of Zion.
3 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Isin gatii malee gurguramtanii turtan; amma immoo maallaqa malee furamtan.”
For thus hath said the Lord, For naught were you sold, and without silver shall ye be redeemed.
4 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: “Jalqabatti sabni koo jiraachuuf jedhee Gibxitti gad buʼe; ergasii Asoor sababii malee isaan cunqurse.
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Into Egypt went my people down aforetimes, to sojourn there, and Asshur hath oppressed it without cause.
5 “Yoos ani amma maalan asii qaba?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Sabni koo sababii malee fudhatameera; warri isaan bulchanis ni qoosu” jedha Waaqayyo. “Guyyaa guutuus, maqaan koo ittuma fufee arrabsama.
And now what have I here, saith the Lord, since my people hath been taken away for naught? its rulers vaunt aloud, saith the Lord, and continually, all the day, is my name blasphemed.
6 Kanaafuu sabni koo maqaa koo ni beeka; kanaafuu isaan gaafas kan duraan dursee waan sana dubbate akka ana taʼe ni beeku. Eeyyee, inni anuma.”
Therefore shall my people know my name, therefore on that day, that I am he that speaketh it: here am I.
7 Miilli warra wangeela fidanii, kan nagaa labsanii, kan oduu gammachiisaa fidanii, kan fayyina labsanii, kan Xiyooniin, “Waaqni kee moʼeera!” jedhanii tulluuwwan irratti akkam miidhagaa dha!
How beautiful are upon the mountains the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that publisheth peace, that announceth tidings of happiness, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.
8 Dhaggeeffadhu! Eegdonni kee sagalee isaanii ol fudhataniiru; isaan tokkummaadhaan gammachuudhaan iyyu. Yeroo Waaqayyo Xiyoonitti deebiʼutti, isaan ijuma isaaniitiin ni argu.
The voice of thy watchmen, —they raise their voice, together shall they shout; for eye to eye shall they see, when the Lord returneth unto Zion.
9 Yaa diigamtoota Yerusaalem tokkummaadhaan faarfannaa gammachuu faarfadhaa; Waaqayyo uummata isaa jajjabeessee Yerusaaleminis fureeraa.
Break forth [in song], shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem; the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Waaqayyo fuula saboota hundaa duratti, irree isaa qulqulluu sana ni mulʼisa; handaarri lafaa hundis fayyisuu Waaqa keenyaa ni argu.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Isin warri miʼa Waaqayyoo baattan, addaan baʼaa; addaan baʼaa; achii fagaadhaa! Waan xuraaʼaa tokko illee hin tuqinaa! Ishee keessaa baʼaatii qulqulloota taʼa.
Depart ye, depart ye, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of it; cleanse yourselves, ye bearers of the vessels of the Lord.
12 Isin garuu ariitiidhaan achii hin baatan; yookaan baqattanii hin deemtan; Waaqayyo fuula keessan dura deemaatii; Waaqni Israaʼel dugda duubaan isin eega.
Not in haste shall ye go out, and not in flight shall ye go; for before you goeth the Lord, and your rereward is the God of Israel.
13 Kunoo, garbichi koo ogummaadhaan hojjeta; inni ni kabajama; ol kaafama; ulfina guddaas ni argata.
Behold, my servant shall be prosperous, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be placed very high.
14 Namoonni baayʼeen waaʼee isaa hamma naʼanitti, fuulli isaa nama hundumaa caalaa golgolaaʼeera; bifti isaas nama hundumaa caalaa badeera;
Just as many were astonished at thee, so greatly was his countenance marred more than any [other] man's, and his form more than [that of] the sons of men, —
15 akkasiinis inni saboota hedduu dinqisiifachiisa; mootonni sababii isaatiif afaan isaanii qabatu. Isaan waan isaanitti hin himamin arguutii; waan hin dhagaʼinis ni hubatu.
Thus will he cause many nations to jump up in [astonishment]; at him will kings shut their mouth; for what had not been told unto them shall they see, and what they had never heard shall they understand.
