Isaayyaas 56
1 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Sababii fayyisuun koo dhiʼaatee fi qajeelummaan koo dafee mulʼatuuf, “Murtii qajeelaa eegaa; waan qajeelaas hojjedhaa.
Thus saith Jehovah: Keep ye justice, and practise righteousness; For the coming of my salvation is near, And my deliverance is soon 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.”
Happy the man that doeth this, And the son of man that holdeth it fast; That keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And restraineth his hand from doing 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.
And let not the stranger that joineth himself to Jehovah say, Jehovah hath wholly separated me from his people. And let not the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree!
4 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Xuʼaashiiwwan Sanbatoota koo eegan, kanneen waan na gammachiisu filatanii fi kakuu koo jabeessanii eeganiif,
For thus saith Jehovah concerning the eunuchs: They that keep my sabbaths, And take pleasure in doing my will, And hold fast 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.
To them will I give in my house, and within my walls, a portion and a name, Better than of sons and daughters; An everlasting name will I give them, That shall never fade away.
6 Alagoota isa tajaajiluuf, maqaa Waaqayyoo jaallachuuf, isa waaqeffachuuf Waaqayyotti cichan kanneen Sanbata utuu hin xureessin eeganii fi kakuu koos cimsanii eegan hunda,
The strangers, also, that join themselves to Jehovah, to serve him, To love the name of Jehovah, and to be his servants. Every one that keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And holdeth fast 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.”
Them will I bring to my holy mountain, And I will make them rejoice in my house of prayer; Their burnt-offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted on mine altar; For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.
8 Waaqayyo Gooftaan, inni Israaʼeloota bittinnaaʼan walitti qabu sun akkana jedha: “Ani warra duraan walitti qabaman biratti, warra kaanis gara isaaniitti walitti nan qaba.”
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, That gathereth the outcasts of Israel; Yet will I gather others to him, Besides those that are already gathered.
9 Bineensonni dirree hundi, bineensonni bosonaa hundis kottaatii itti gaggabaa nyaadhaa!
Come, all ye beasts of the field, Yea, all ye beasts of the forest, to devour!
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 all blind; they know nothing; They are all dumb dogs, that cannot bark, Dreaming, 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.
Yet are they greedy dogs that cannot be satisfied; The shepherds themselves will not attend; They all turn aside to their own way, Every one of them to their own gain.
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 on, let me bring wine, And let us fill ourselves with strong drink, And to-morrow shall be as to-day, And even much more abundant.”
