Isaayyaas 59
1 Dhugumaan harki Waaqayyoo fayyisuuf gabaabaa miti; yookaan gurri isaa dhagaʼuu hin didne.
Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear.
2 Yakki keessan garuu Waaqa keessaniin gargar isin baaseera; akka inni isin hin dhageenyeef, cubbuun keessan fuula isaa isin duraa dhokseera.
But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
3 Harki keessan dhiigaan, qubni keessan immoo yakkaan faalameeraatii. Afaan keessan soba dubbata; arrabni keessan immoo waan hamaa guunguma.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity.
4 Namni murtii qajeelaa barbaadu hin jiru; kan himata isaa amanamummaadhaan dhiʼeeffatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Isaan waan faayidaa hin qabne amanatan; soba dubbatan; gowwoomsaa ulfaaʼanii hammina dhalan.
There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.
5 Isaan hanqaaquu buutii yaasan; manʼee sariitii foʼan. Namni hanqaaquu isaanii nyaatu kam iyyuu ni duʼa; yommuu tokkoon isaa cabutti buutiitu keessaa baʼa.
They have broken the eggs of asps, and have woven the webs of spiders: he that shall eat of their eggs, shall die: and that which is brought out, shall be hatched into a basilisk.
6 Foʼaan isaanii uffata hin taʼu; waan tolchaniinis dhagna isaanii haguuggachuu hin dandaʼan. Hojiin isaanii hojii hamminaa ti; harka isaanii keessas hojii fincilaatu jira.
Their webs shall not be for clothing, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are unprofitable works, and the work of iniquity is in their hands.
7 Miilli isaanii gara cubbuutti fiiga; isaan dhiiga qulqulluu dhangalaasuuf ariifatan. Yaadni isaanii jalʼaa dha; diiguu fi barbadeessuun mallattoo karaa isaanii ti.
Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: wasting and destruction are in their ways.
8 Isaan karaa nagaa hin beekan; murtiin qajeelaan karaa isaanii irra hin jiru. Daandii isaanii jalʼisaniiru; namni achi irra deemu tokko iyyuu nagaa hin beeku.
They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
9 Kanaafuu murtiin qajeelaan nurraa fagaateera; qajeelummaanis nu bira hin gaʼu. Nu ifa barbaanna; garuu hundinuu dukkana; ifa guyyaa barbaanna; garuu dimimmisa keessa deemna.
Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark.
10 Nu akkuma jaamaa dallaa qaqqabachaa deemna; akkuma warra ija hin qabnee harkaan karaa keenya barbaaddanna. Akka nama halkaniin deemuu guyyaa saafaadhaan guggufanne; namoota jajjaboo gidduutti akka warra duʼanii taaneerra.
We have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
11 Nu hundi akka amaaketaa gururiina; akka gugees gaddaan aadna. Murtii qajeelaa barbaanna; garuu hin arganne; fayyina barbaanna; inni garuu nurraa fagaateera.
We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked for judgment, and there is none: for salvation, and it is far from us.
12 Yakki keenya fuula kee duratti baayʼateeraatii; cubbuun keenyas dhugaa nutti baʼa. Yakki keenya nu wajjin jiraata; nus balleessaa keenya ni beekna;
For our iniquities are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known our iniquities:
13 nu fincillee Waaqayyoon sobne; Waaqa keenya duukaa buʼuu irraa garagalleerra; goolii fi fincila kakaafneerra; soba garaan keenya yaades dubbanneerra.
In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered from the heart, words of falsehood.
14 Kanaafuu murtii qajeelaan duubatti deebifameera; qajeelummaanis fagoo dhaabata; dhugaan karaatti gufate; tollis ol seenuu hin dandaʼu.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth bath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.
15 Dhugaan eessumattuu hin argamu; namni cubbuu irraa fagaatus waan hamaaf saaxilama. Waaqayyo akka murtii qajeelaan hin jirre arge; kunis isa gaddisiise.
And truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because there is no judgment.
16 Inni akka namni tokko iyyuu hin jirre arge; kan gara isaatti kadhannaa dhiʼeessu waan dhabameefis ni dinqisiifate. Kanaafuu irreen isaa fayyina isaa fidde; qajeelummaan ofii isaas isa utube.
And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him.
17 Qajeelummaa akka gaachana qomaatti kaaʼatee gonfoo fayyinaas mataatti gombifate; wayyaa ittiin haaloo baʼu uffatee akka nama waaroo uffatuuttis hinaaffaa ofitti marate.
He put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak.
18 Kanaafuu inni akkuma hojii isaaniitti, diinota isaatiif dheekkamsa, amajaajota isaaniitiif immoo adabbii malu ni kenna; biyyoota bishaan gidduutiifis hojii harka isaanii kennaaf.
As unto revenge, as it were to repay wrath to his adversaries, and a reward to his enemies: he will repay the like to the islands.
19 Namoonni lixa biiftuu maqaa Waaqayyoo sodaatu; warri baʼa biiftuutti argaman immoo ulfina isaa kabaju. Inni akkuma lolaa, kan bubbeen Waaqayyoo oofuutti ni dhufaatii.
And they from the west, shall fear the name of the Lord: and they from the rising of the sun, his glory: when he shall come as a violent stream, which the spirit of the Lord driveth on:
20 “Furaan gara Xiyoon, gara warra mana Yaaqoob keessaa qalbii jijjiirratanii ni dhufa” jedha Waaqayyo.
And there shall come a, redeemer to Sion, and to them that return from iniquity in Jacob, saith the Lord.
21 “Gama kootiin kakuun koo kan ani isaan wajjin qabu kana” jedha Waaqayyo. “Hafuurri koo kan sirra jiru, dubbiin koo kan ani afaan kee keessa kaaʼe sun afaan keetii yookaan afaan ijoollee keetiitii yookaan afaan ijoollee ijoollee isaaniitii harʼaa jalqabee bara baraan hin badu” jedha Waaqayyo.
This is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is in thee, and my words that I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
