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, barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband," says 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 let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; do not spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 Ati gara mirgaattii fi gara bitaatti ni babalʼattaatii; sanyiiwwan kee saboota ni dhaalu; magaalaawwan isaanii kanneen duwwaa hafan keessas ni qubatu.
For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your descendants shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
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.
"Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame, nor will you be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 Uumaan kee dhirsa keeti; maqaan isaas Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha; Qulqullichi Israaʼel Furii kee ti; innis Waaqa guutummaa lafaa jedhama.
For your husband is your Creator; YHWH of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 Waaqayyo akka waan ati akkuma niitii gatamtee garaan ishee gaddee, akka niitii dargaggeessaa kan jibbamteetti deebisee ofitti si waama” jedha Waaqni kee.
For YHWH has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off," says your God.
7 “Ani yeroo muraasaafan si dhiise; garuu gara laafina guddaadhaan deebisee sin fida.
"For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will 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 from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you," says YHWH your Redeemer.
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 like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke 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 may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed," says YHWH who has mercy on you.
11 “Yaa magaalaa miidhamte kan dambaliidhaan garagalfamtee nama si jajjabeessu dhabde, ani dhagaa gatii guddaatiin si ijaaree sanpeeriidhaanis si hundeessa.
"You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, look, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 Ani fiixee kee lula diimaadhaan, karrawwan kee dooqa calaqqisuun, dallaa kee hunda immoo dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiidhaan nan ijaara.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 Waaqayyo ilmaan kee hunda ni barsiisa; nagaan ijoollee keetiis guddaa taʼa.
And all your children shall be taught by God; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 Ati qajeelummaadhaan hundeeffamta; cunqurfamuun sirraa fagaata; wanni si sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Gooliin sirraa fageeffama; sitti iyyuu hin dhiʼaatu.
In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Yoo namni tokko iyyuu lola sitti kaase ani keessaa hin qabu; namni lola sitti kaasu kam iyyuu harka sitti kennata.
Look, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of 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;
"Look, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster 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 that is formed against you will prosper; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of YHWH, and their righteousness which is of me," says YHWH.
