Isaayyaas 58
1 “Guddisii iyyi; hin qusatin. Akkuma malakataa sagalee kee ol fudhadhu. Saba kootti fincila isaanii, mana Yaaqoobitti immoo cubbuu isaanii labsi.
“Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
2 Isaan guyyuma guyyaan na barbaaduutii; isaan akkuma saba waan qajeelaa hojjetee ajajawwan Waaqa isaa hin dhiisin tokkootti waan karaa koo beekuu barbaadan fakkaatu. Isaan murtii qajeelaa na kadhatu; akka Waaqni isaanitti dhiʼaatus waan hawwan fakkaatu.
They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near of God:
3 Isaanis, ‘Yoo ati waan kana hin argine, nu maaliif soomne? Yoo ati waan kana hin qalbeeffanne nu maaliif gad of qabne?’ jedhu. “Taʼus isin guyyaa sooma keessanii waan feetan gootan; hojjettoota keessan hundas ni hacuuccan.
Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
4 Soomni keessan wal loluu fi wal qoccoluudhaan, aboottee hamminaatiin wal tumuudhaan raawwata. Soomni isin harʼa soomaa jirtan kun, akka sagaleen keessan gubbaatti dhagaʼamu hin godhu.
Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
5 Soomni ani filadhe sooma akkanaatii? Namni tokko guyyuma tokko qofaaf gad of qabaa? Wanni kun akkuma dhallaadduu mataa gad qabachuu fi wayyaa gaddaatii fi daaraa irra ciisuu qofaafii? Wanni isin sooma jettaniin guyyaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti fudhatama qabu kanaa?
Is this like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
6 “Soomni ani itti gammadu, kan foncaa jalʼinaa furu, kan funyoo waanjoo hiiku, kan cunqurfamtoota bilisa baasuu fi waanjoo hunda caccabsu mitii?
Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw off every yoke?
7 Akka ati warra beelaʼaniif nyaata kee qoodduu fi akka hiyyeeyyii mana hin qabne mana keetti simattu, akka ati yeroo nama daare argitutti daara isa baaftuu fi akka nama foonii fi dhiiga kee taʼetti dugda hin galle mitii?
Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Yoos ifni kee akka biiftuu ganamaa ni baʼa; fayyinni kees dafee ni dhufa; qajeelummaan kee fuula kee dura deema; ulfinni Waaqayyoo immoo duubaan si eega.
Then your light breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers you.
9 Yeroo sana ati ni waammatta; Waaqayyos deebii siif kenna; ati gargaarsa barbaacha iyyatta; innis, ‘Ani asan jira’ siin jedha. “Ati yoo waanjoo cunqursaa, haasaʼa hamminaatii fi quba namatti qabuu of irraa fageessite,
Then you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
10 ati yoo warra beelaʼaniif nyaata kennite, warra rakkatanis rakkinaa baafte, ifni kee dukkana keessa ni ibsa; halkan kees akka guyyaa saafaa taʼa.
And bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
11 Waaqayyo yeroo hunda si geggeessa; inni lafa aduudhaan gubate keessatti iyyuu fedhii kee siif guuta; lafee kees ni jabeessa. Ati akka lafa biqiltuu bishaan quufee, akka burqaa hin gognees ni taata.
And YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
12 Uummanni kee diigamaa durii deebisee ni ijaara; atis hundee dhaloota baayʼee ol kaasta; atis, Suphaa Dallaawwan Jijjiganii, Haaromsaa Daandiiwwan Jireenyaa jedhamtee waamamta.
And they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
13 “Ati yoo miilla kee Sanbata cabsuu irraa eeggattee guyyaa koo qulqulluu waan jaallattu gochuu dhiifte, ati yoo Sanbataan, ‘Gammachuu’ guyyaa qulqullaaʼaa Waaqayyootiin immoo, ‘Kabajamaa’ jette, yoo daandii ofii keetii deemtuu fi yoo waan feete gochuu yookaan haasaa faayidaa hin qabne haasaʼuu baattee Sanbata ulfeessite,
If you turn your foot from the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
14 yeroo sana Waaqayyotti ni gammadda; anis akka ati lafa ol dheeraa irra guluftu, dhaala abbaa kee Yaaqoob nyaattee akka quuftus sin taasisa.” Afaan Waaqayyoo dubbateeraatii.
Then you delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
