Isaayyaas 55
1 “Isin warri dheebottan hundinuu kottaa; gara bishaanii kottaa; isin warri maallaqa hin qabne, kottaatii bitadhaa; nyaadhaas! Kottaatii maallaqaa fi gatii malee daadhii wayiniitii fi aannan bitadhaa.
All you that thirst, come to the waters: and you that have no money make haste, buy, and eat: come ye, buy wine and milk without money, and without any price.
2 Isin maaliif waan buddeena hin taʼinitti maallaqa baaftu? Waan nama hin quubsine irrattis maaliif humna keessan fixxu? Dhagaʼaa; na dhagaʼaa; waan gaarii nyaadhaa; lubbuun keessanis coomaan haa gammaddu.
Why do you spend money for that which is not breed, and your labour for that which doth not satisfy you? Hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and your soul shall be delighted in fatness.
3 Gurra naaf kennaatii gara koo kottaa; akka lubbuun keessan jiraattuufis na dhagaʼaa. Ani kakuu bara baraa isin wajjin nan gala; innis jaalala amanamaa isa Daawit abdachiifame sanaa dha;
Incline your ear and come to me: hear and your soul shall lire, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful mercies of David.
4 kunoo ani sabootaaf dhuga baatuu isa godheera; hoogganaa fi ajajaa sabootaas isa taasiseera.
Behold I have given him for a witness to the people, for a leader and a master to the Gentiles.
5 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee, Qulqullichi Israaʼel sun, ulfina siif kenneef, ati dhugumaan saboota hin beekne ni waamta; saboonni si hin beeknes ariitiidhaan gara kee dhufu.”
Behold thou shalt call a nation, which thou knewest not: and the nations that knew not thee shall run to thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
6 Yeroo inni argamutti Waaqayyoon barbaaddadhaa; yeroo inni dhiʼoo jiruttis isa waammadhaa.
Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found: call upon him, while he is near.
7 Namni hamaan karaa isaa, namni jalʼaan immoo yaada isaa haa dhiisu. Inni gara Waaqayyootti haa deebiʼu; innis ni araaramaaf; gara Waaqa keenyaatti haa deebiʼu; dhiifamni isaa baayʼeedhaatii.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God: for he is bountiful to forgive.
8 “Yaadni koo yaada keessan, karaan keessanis karaa koo miti” jedha Waaqayyo.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 “Akkuma samiiwwan lafa irraa ol fagaatan sana, karaan koo karaa keessan irraa, yaadni koos yaada keessan irraa ol fagoo dha.
For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
10 Akkuma bokkaa fi cabbiin samiidhaa roobu sana, akka lafti biqila biqilchitee isa facaafatuuf sanyii, isa nyaatuuf immoo buddeena kennituuf malee utuu ishee hin quubsin hin deebine sana,
And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 dubbiin koo kan afaan kootii baʼus fedhii koo raawwata; kaayyoo ani isa ergeefis galmaan gaʼa malee harka duwwaa gara kootti hin deebiʼu.
So shall my word be, which shall go forth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it.
12 Isin gammachuudhaan baatu; nagaadhaan geggeeffamtu; tulluuwwanii fi gaarran, fuula keessan duratti ililchanii faarfatu; mukkeen dirree hundinuus harka walitti rukutu.
For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall sing praise before yen, and all the trees of the country shall clap their hands.
13 Qooda qoraattii birbirsi, qooda sokorruus kusaayeen ni biqila. Kunis Waaqayyoof yaadannoo, mallattoo bara baraa kan hin badne taʼa.”
Instead of the shrub, shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the nettle, shall come up the myrtle tree: and the Lord shall be named for an everlasting sign, that shall not be taken away.
