Isaayyaas 56
1 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Sababii fayyisuun koo dhiʼaatee fi qajeelummaan koo dafee mulʼatuuf, “Murtii qajeelaa eegaa; waan qajeelaas hojjedhaa.
Thus said YHWH: “Keep judgment, and do righteousness, For My salvation [is] near to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.”
2 Namni waan kana hojjetu, kan waan kanattis cimu, kan Sanbata utuu hin xureessin eeguu fi waan hamaa kam iyyuu hojjechuu irraa harka isaa eeggatu eebbifamaa dha.”
O the blessedness of a man who does this, And of a son of man who keeps hold on it, Keeping the Sabbath from defiling it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
3 Alagaan Waaqayyotti cichee tokko, “Waaqayyo dhugumaan saba isaa irraa addaan na baasa” hin jedhin. Xuʼaashiin kam iyyuus, “Ani mukuma gogaadha” ofiin hin jedhin.
Do not let a son of the stranger speak, Who is joined to YHWH, saying, “YHWH certainly separates me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dried up tree,”
4 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Xuʼaashiiwwan Sanbatoota koo eegan, kanneen waan na gammachiisu filatanii fi kakuu koo jabeessanii eeganiif,
For thus said YHWH: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:
5 ani mana qulqullummaa kootii fi dallaa isaa keessatti yaadannoo fi maqaa ilmaanii fi intallan caalu tokko nan kennaaf; ani maqaa bara baraa kan hin haqamne isaaniif nan kenna.
I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, I give a continuous name to him That is not cut off.
6 Alagoota isa tajaajiluuf, maqaa Waaqayyoo jaallachuuf, isa waaqeffachuuf Waaqayyotti cichan kanneen Sanbata utuu hin xureessin eeganii fi kakuu koos cimsanii eegan hunda,
And sons of the stranger, who are joined to YHWH, To serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, To be for servants to Him, All keeping from defiling the Sabbath, And those keeping hold on My covenant,
7 ani gara tulluu koo qulqulluutti isaan nan fida; mana kadhannaa koo keessattis gammachuu isaaniif nan kenna. Aarsaan isaanii kan gubamuu fi qalmi, iddoo aarsaa koo irratti fudhatama ni argata; manni koo saboota hundaaf, mana sagadaa jedhamee waamamaatii.”
I have brought them to My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on My altar, For My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 Waaqayyo Gooftaan, inni Israaʼeloota bittinnaaʼan walitti qabu sun akkana jedha: “Ani warra duraan walitti qabaman biratti, warra kaanis gara isaaniitti walitti nan qaba.”
A declaration of Lord YHWH, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: “Again I gather to him—to his gathered ones.”
9 Bineensonni dirree hundi, bineensonni bosonaa hundis kottaatii itti gaggabaa nyaadhaa!
Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
10 Eegdonni Israaʼel jaamota, isaan hundi beekumsa hin qaban; hundi isaanii saroota duudaa dha; dutuus hin dandaʼan; isaan ciisanii abjootu; rafuus ni jaallatu.
His watchmen [are] blind—all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] mute dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Isaan saroota albaadheyyii dha; nyaataniis hin quufan. Isaan tiksoota hubannaa hin qabnee dha; hundi isaanii daandii ofii isaanii irra deemu; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii faayidaa ofii isaanii barbaadu.
And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them turned to their own way, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
12 Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii akkana jedhu; “Kottaa daadhii wayinii dhugnaa! Kottaa dhugaatii cimaa dhugnee quufnaa! Guyyaan borii akkuma harʼaa taʼa; yookaan caaluu iyyuu ni dandaʼa.”
“Come, I take wine, And we drink, gulp strong drink, And tomorrow has been as this day, Great—exceedingly abundant!”
