Isaayyaas 57
1 Namni qajeelaan ni duʼa; kan waan kana yaadatti qabatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; warri Waaqaaf of kennan ni fudhatamu; akka qajeeltonni waan hamaa jalaa baraaramuuf fudhataman namni tokko iyyuu hin hubatu.
Good people die, and nobody cares; the faithful pass away, and nobody thinks that they were being protected from evil.
2 Namni qajeelummaadhaan jiraatu, gara nagaa seena; isaan siree isaanii irra boqotu.
Those who follow what's right rest in peace; they find rest as they lie down in death.
3 “Isin garuu yaa ilmaan falfaltittii, isin sanyiin ejjituutii fi sagaagaltuu as kottaa!
But as for you, children of fortune-tellers, the product of adultery and prostitution—come here!
4 Isin eenyutti qoostu? Eenyutti afaan banattu? Eenyuttis arraba baaftu? Isin ilmaan finciltootaa, sanyii sobdootaa mitii?
Who are you making fun of when you make sneering faces and stick out your tongues? Aren't you the children of sin and lies?
5 Isin mukkeen qilxuu gidduutti, mukkeen dagaagan hunda jalatti hawwii hamaadhaan gubattan; sululoota keessatti, holqa kattaa keessattis ijoollee keessan qaltan.
You're the ones having pagan orgies under the oak trees, under every green tree. You sacrifice your children in the valleys and among the rocky peaks.
6 Dhagaawwan cululuqoon sulula keessaa qooda kee ti; dhugumaan carraan kee isaanuma. Ati dhibaayyuu isaaniif dhangalaafte; aarsaa midhaanii isaaniif dhiʼeessiteerta. Ani wantoota kanneen calʼisee nan ilaalaa?
You have chosen to worship the smooth stones from the streams of the valleys—that's the choice you've made! You have poured out drink offerings to these idols—you have presented them with grain offerings. Should that make me happy?
7 Ati siree kee tulluu guddaa fi ol dheeraa irra dhaabbatteerta; aarsaa kee dhiʼeeffachuufis achi ol baate.
You have committed adultery by idol worship on every high mountain; you went there to offer pagan sacrifices.
8 Ati cufaa keetii fi michichila cufaa keetii duubaan, yaadannoo kee fannifatteerta. Ana dhiiftee siree kee saaqqatte; yaabdees balʼiftee banattee keessa seente; ati warra siree isaanii jaallatte wajjin walii galte sana qullaa isaanii ilaalte.
You've placed your pagan signs behind your doors and on your doorposts. Deserting me, you took off your clothes and climbed into bed, committing yourselves to those you love to be in bed with. You've seen them naked.
9 Ati zayitii ejersaa fudhattee gara Moolek dhaqxe; shittoo kee illee ni baayʼifatte. Ergamoota kee biyya fagootti ergite; siiʼoolittis gad ergite! (Sheol h7585)
You went to offer Molech olive oil, covering yourself with many perfumes. You sent your messengers to distant places; you even went down into the world of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
10 Dheerina karaa keetiitiin dadhabdee turte; ati garuu, ‘Wanni kun faayidaa hin qabu’ hin jenne. Jabina haaromfame argatte; kanaafuu ati hin dadhabne.
You wore yourselves out by such running around, but you didn't give up and say, “It's hopeless!” You found new strength and so didn't become weak.
11 “Ati akka na sobduuf akka na hin yaadanneef, yookaan akka waan kana garaatti hin qabanneef, eenyuun sodaattee akkas naate? Ati sababii ani yeroo dheeraa calʼiseef, na sodaachuu dhiifte mitii?
Who were you scared of, who frightened you so much that you lied to me, didn't remember me, didn't even think about me? Is it because I've been quiet for so long that you don't even fear me?
12 Ani qajeelummaa keetii fi hojii kee ifatti nan baasa; isaan garuu si hin fayyadan.
I'm going to let everyone know about how you're so good and the things you do—but they won't help you!
13 Yeroo ati gargaarsaaf iyyitutti, mee waaqonni tolfamoon ati walitti qabatte sun si haa baasan! Bubbeen hunda isaanii fudhatee bada; hafuurri baafatan iyyuu afuufee isaan balleessa. Namni daʼannoo isaa ana godhatu garuu biyyattii ni dhaala; tulluu koo qulqulluu sana illee ni dhuunfata.”
When you cry out for help, let's see if your collection of idols will save you! The wind will blow them all away, just a breath and they're gone! But whoever comes to me for help will own the land and possess my holy mountain.
14 Akkanas ni jedhama: “Tolchaa; tolchaa; daandii qopheessaa! Karaa saba kootii irraa gufuuwwan bubuqqisaa.”
He will say, Build a highway, remove anything that's in the way of my people.
15 Inni guddaanii fi ol ol jedhe, kan bara baraan jiraatuu fi kan maqaan isaa qulqulluu jedhamu sun akkana jedha: “Ani iddoo ol kaʼaa fi iddoo qulqulluu irra nan jiraadha; hafuura warra gad qabamanii bayyanachiisuuf, garaa warra gad of qabanii jajjabeessuuf garraamii fi kan hafuuraan gad qabame wajjinis nan jiraadha.
This is what the one who is high above all says, he who lives in eternity, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, together with those who repent and who act humbly, restoring their spirits and encouraging them.
16 Ani bara baraan namatti hin falmu; yookaan yeroo hunda hin dheekkamu; yoo akkas taʼe hafuurri namaa, hafuurri namni ani uume baafatu ni citaatii.
I won't fight with you forever; I won't be angry with you forever. Otherwise you'd lose heart, the very people I gave life to.
17 Ani dharraa isaa kan cubbuun guutame sanattan dheekkame; isa adabees aariidhaan fuula koo isa duraa nan dhokfadhe; inni garuu karuma fedhii isaatiin itti fufe.
Yes, I was angry with these sinful, greedy people so I punished them. I was angry, so I hid myself from them, but they went on their own rebellious way, doing whatever they wanted.
18 Ani karaa isaa argeera; garuu isa nan fayyisa; ani isa nan qajeelcha; deebisees nan jajjabeessa;
I know what they're doing, but I will heal them. I will lead them and comfort those who mourn,
19 arraba boossuuwwan Israaʼel keessa jiraatanii irrattis galata nan uuma. Warra fagoo jiraataniif nagaan, warra dhiʼoo jiraataniifis nagaan haa taʼu. Anis isaan nan fayyisa” jedha Waaqayyo.
so they will able to say thankyou. The Lord declares, Peace, peace, to those who are far away and those who are near. I will heal you.
20 Namoonni hamoon garuu akkuma galaana olii gadi daddarbatamu, kan boqochuu hin dandeenye, kan dambaliin isaa laaqii fi dhoqqee tufuu ti.
But the wicked are like the sea that is tossed about, never keeping still, churning up the mud and muck with its waves.
21 “Namoota hamoof nagaan hin jiru” jedha Waaqni koo.
There's no peace for the wicked, says my God.
