Isaayyaas 54
1 “Yaa dubartii dhabduu, kan takkumaa hin daʼin, amma faarfadhu; ati kan takkumaa ciniinsifattee hin beekin iyyii faarfadhu; guddisiitii ililchi. Ijoollee dubartii dhirsa qabduu caalaa ijoolleen dubartii gatamtee ni baayʼatu” jedha Waaqayyo.
“Sing, O barren, she [who] has not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She [who] has not brought forth! For more [are] the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one,” said YHWH.
2 “Iddoo dunkaana keetii balʼifadhu; golgaa dunkaana keetii balʼisii diriirsi; walitti hin dachaasin; funyoo kee dheereffadhu; qofoo kees jabeeffadhu.
“Enlarge the place of your tent, And they stretch out the curtains of your dwelling places, Do not restrain—lengthen your cords, And make your pins strong.
3 Ati gara mirgaattii fi gara bitaatti ni babalʼattaatii; sanyiiwwan kee saboota ni dhaalu; magaalaawwan isaanii kanneen duwwaa hafan keessas ni qubatu.
For you break forth right and left, And nations possess your seed,
4 “Hin sodaatin; ati hin qaanoftuutii. Hin yaaddaʼin; ati hin salphattuutii; Qaanii ijoollummaa keetii ni dagatta; tuffii dhirsi kee sirraa duunaan sirra gaʼes siʼachi hin yaadattu.
And they cause desolate cities to be inhabited. Do not fear, for you are not ashamed, Nor blush, for you are not confounded, For you forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood You do not remember anymore.
5 Uumaan kee dhirsa keeti; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha; Qulqullichi Israaʼel Furii kee ti; innis Waaqa guutummaa lafaa jedhama.
For your Maker [is] your husband, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, And your Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, He is called God of all the earth.
6 Waaqayyo akka waan ati akkuma niitii gatamtee garaan ishee gaddee, akka niitii dargaggeessaa kan jibbamteetti deebisee ofitti si waama” jedha Waaqni kee.
For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, YHWH has called you, Even a youthful wife when she is refused,” said your God.
7 “Ani yeroo muraasaafan si dhiise; garuu gara laafina guddaadhaan deebisee sin fida.
“In a small moment I have forsaken you, And in great mercies I gather you,
8 Ani dheekkamsa guddaadhaan yeroo muraasaaf fuula koo si dhokfadheen ture; garuu jaalala bara baraatiin, garaa siifin laafa” jedha Waaqayyo Furiin kee.
In overflowing wrath I hid My face [for] a moment from you, And in perpetual kindness I have loved you, Said your Redeemer—YHWH!
9 “Wanni kun anaaf akkuma bara Nohi, yeroo ani itti bishaan Nohi deebiʼee lafa irra hin garagalu jedhee kakadhe sanaa ti. Kanaafuu ani akkan sitti hin aarre, gonkumaas lammata akkan si hin ifanne kakadheera.
For this [is as] the days of Noah to Me, In that I have sworn that the waters of Noah Do not pass over the earth again—So I have sworn, Wrath is not on you, Nor rebuke against you.
10 Tulluuwwan raafamanii, gaarran buqqifaman iyyuu, jaalalli hin geeddaramne kan ani siif qabu garuu hin raafamu; yookaan kakuun koo kan nagaa hin diigamu” jedha Waaqayyo inni garaa siif laafu sun.
For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness does not depart from you, And the covenant of My peace does not remove,” Says YHWH, your loving one.
11 “Yaa magaalaa miidhamte kan dambaliidhaan garagalfamtee nama si jajjabeessu dhabde, ani dhagaa gatii guddaatiin si ijaaree sanpeeriidhaanis si hundeessa.
“O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Behold, I am laying your stones with cement, And have founded you with sapphires,
12 Ani fiixee kee lula diimaadhaan, karrawwan kee dooqa calaqqisuun, dallaa kee hunda immoo dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiidhaan nan ijaara.
And have made your pinnacles of agate, And your gates of carbuncle stones, And all your border of stones of delight,
13 Waaqayyo ilmaan kee hunda ni barsiisa; nagaan ijoollee keetiis guddaa taʼa.
And all your sons are taught of YHWH, And the peace of your sons [is] abundant.
14 Ati qajeelummaadhaan hundeeffamta; cunqurfamuun sirraa fagaata; wanni si sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Gooliin sirraa fageeffama; sitti iyyuu hin dhiʼaatu.
You establish yourself in righteousness, Be far from oppression, for you do not fear, And from ruin, for it does not come near to you.
15 Yoo namni tokko iyyuu lola sitti kaase ani keessaa hin qabu; namni lola sitti kaasu kam iyyuu harka sitti kennata.
Behold, he diligently assembles without My desire, Whoever has assembled near you falls by you!
16 “Kunoo, kan tumtuu sibiilaa kan cilee buufee ibidda bobeessee miʼa waraanaa tumee hojii isaatiif mijeessu sana uume anuma. Kan nama waa balleessu tokko akka inni balaa buusuuf uumes anuma;
Behold, I have created an artisan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have created a destroyer to destroy.
17 meeshaan si miidhuuf tolfame kam iyyuu hin milkaaʼu; atis arraba si himatu hunda of irraa deebifta. Kun dhaala tajaajiltoota Waaqayyoo ti; innis qajeelummaa isaan narraa argatanii dha” jedha Waaqayyo.
No weapon formed against you prospers, And every tongue rising against you, You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH!
