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.
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without 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 ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labor for [that which] satisfieth not? hearken diligently to me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself 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 live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure 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, a leader and commander to the people.
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 [that] thou knowest not, and 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 ye 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 unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 “Yaadni koo yaada keessan, karaan keessanis karaa koo miti” jedha Waaqayyo.
For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] 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 higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than 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,
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may 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 that proceedeth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] 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 ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field 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 thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.
