< Isaayyaas 60 >
1 “Ifni kee dhufeeraatii kaʼii ibsi; ulfinni Waaqayyoo siif baʼeera.
Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.
2 Kunoo, dukkanni lafa, dukkanni hamaan immoo uummattoota haguuga; Waaqayyo garuu siif kaʼeera; ulfinni isaas sirraa mulʼata.
For truly, the earth will be dark, and the peoples veiled in blackest night; but the Lord will be shining on you, and his glory will be seen among you.
3 Saboonni gara ifa keetii, mootonni immoo gara ifa kee 2 isa bariitti ni dhufu.
And nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright dawn.
4 “Ija kee ol fudhadhuutii naannoo kee ilaali; hundinuu wal gaʼanii gara kee ni dhufu; ilmaan kee fagoodhaa, intallan kees qomatti baatamanii gara kee ni dhufu.
Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.
5 Ergasii ni ilaalta; ni calaqqiftas; lapheen kee ni dhaʼata; gammachuudhaanis ni guutama; qabeenyi galaanotaa hundinuu gara kee dhufu; badhaadhummaan sabootaas kan kee taʼa.
Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Gaalli baayʼeen, ilmaan gaalaa kan Midiyaanii fi kan Eefaa biyya kee ni guutu. Namoonni hundi warqee fi ixaana fidanii, galata Waaqayyoo labsaa biyya Shebaatii ni dhufu.
You will be full of camel-trains, even the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba will come, with gold and spices, giving word of the great acts of the Lord.
7 Bushaayeen Qeedaar hundinuu gara keetti walitti qabamu; korbeeyyiin hoolaa Nabaayot si tajaajilu; isaan iddoo aarsaa koo irratti aarsaawwan fudhatama qaban ni taʼu; anis mana ulfina kootii nan kabaja.
All the flocks of Kedar will come together to you, the sheep of Nebaioth will be ready for your need; they will be pleasing offerings on my altar, and my house of prayer will be beautiful.
8 “Warri akkuma gugeewwanii manneen isaaniitti barrisan, kanneen akka duumessaa gugatan kunneen eenyu faʼi?
Who are these coming like a cloud, like a flight of doves to their windows?
9 Dhugumaan biyyoonni bishaan gidduu na abdatu; sababii inni ulfina sitti uffiseef, maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii, Qulqullicha Israaʼeliitiif jedhanii dooniiwwan Tarshiish dursanii, meetii fi warqee isaanii wajjin ilmaan kee fagoodhaa ni fidu.
Vessels of the sea-lands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, so that your sons may come from far, and their silver and gold with them, to the place of the name of the Lord your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.
10 “Namoonni ormaa dallaa kee ni ijaaru; mootonni isaaniis si tajaajilu; Ani aariidhaan si dhaʼu illee, gara laafina koo jaalalaan sitti nan argisiisa.
And men from strange countries will be building up your walls, and their kings will be your servants: for in my wrath I sent punishment on you, but in my grace I have had mercy on you.
11 Akka namoonni badhaadhina sabootaa gara keetti fidaniif, akka mootonni isaaniis hiriiraan gara keetti seenaniif, karrawwan kee yeroo hunda banamaa taʼu; isaan halkanii guyyaa gonkumaa hin cufaman;
Your doors will be open at all times; they will not be shut day or night; so that men may come into you with the wealth of the nations, with their kings at their head.
12 Sabni yookaan mootummaan si hin tajaajille ni barbadaaʼuutii; guutummaan guutuuttis ni balleeffamu.
For the nation or kingdom which will not be your servant will come to destruction; such nations will be completely waste.
13 “Ulfinni Libaanoon, gaattiraan, qararoo fi hadheessi, lafa iddoo qulqulluu koo miidhagsuuf gara kee ni dhufu; anis iddoo miilli koo dhaabatu nan kabaja.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the sherbin-tree together, to make my holy place beautiful; and the resting-place of my feet will be full of glory.
14 Ilmaan warra si cunqursanii siif sagadaa gara kee dhufu; warri si tuffatan hundinuus miilla keetti kufu; isaanis Magaalaa Waaqayyoo Xiyoon kan Qulqullicha Israaʼel jedhanii si waamu.
And the sons of those who were cruel to you will come before you with bent heads; and those who made sport of you will go down on their faces at your feet; and you will be named, The Town of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Yoo ati jibbamtee gatamtee namni tokko iyyuu si keessaan darbuu lagate iyyuu, ani boontuu bara baraatii fi gammachuu dhaloota hundaa sin taasisa.
And though you were turned away from, and hated, and had no helper, I will make you a pride for ever, a joy from generation to generation.
16 Ati aannan sabootaa ni dhugda; harma moototaas ni hoota. Yommus ani Waaqayyo Jabaan Yaaqoob, Fayyisaa kee fi Furaa kee akkan taʼe ni beekta.
And you will take the milk of the nations, flowing from the breast of kings; and you will see that I, the Lord, am your saviour, and he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.
17 Ani qooda naasii warqee, qooda sibiilaa immoo, meetii siif nan fida. Qooda mukaa naasii, qooda dhagaa immoo, sibiila siif nan fida. Nagaa mootii kee, qajeelummaa immoo, bulchaa kee nan godha.
In place of brass, I will give gold, and for iron silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: and I will make Peace your judge, and Righteousness your overseer.
18 Siʼachi biyya kee keessatti gooliin, daarii kee keessatti immoo diigamni yookaan badiisni hin dhagaʼamu; ati garuu dallaa kee Fayyina, karrawwan kee immoo Galata jettee waamta.
Violent acts will no longer be seen in your land, wasting or destruction in your limits; but your walls will be named, Salvation, and your doors Praise.
19 Siʼachi aduun guyyaadhaan, ifni jiʼaas halkaniin ifa kee hin taʼu; Waaqayyo ifa kee bara baraa taʼaatii; Waaqni kee ulfina kee ni taʼa.
The sun will not be your light by day, and the moon will no longer be bright for you by night: but the Lord will be to you an eternal light, and your God your glory.
20 Aduun kee deebitee hin dhiitu; jiʼi kee hin badu; Waaqayyo ifa kee bara baraa ni taʼa; barri gadda kees ni raawwatama.
Your sun will never again go down, or your moon keep back her light: for the Lord will be your eternal light, and the days of your sorrow will be ended.
21 Yoos uummanni kee hundi qajeelaa ni taʼa; bara baraanis lafa ni dhaala. Isaan biqiltuu ani dhaabbadhee dha; hojii harka koo, kan ani ittiin ulfina koo mulʼisuuf jedhee hojjedhee dha.
Your people will all be upright, the land will be their heritage for ever; the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, to be for my glory.
22 Maatiin muraasni kuma, gareen xinnaan immoo saba guddaa taʼa. Ani Waaqayyoo dha; waan kana yeroo isaatti dafee nan hojjedha.”
The smallest of their families will become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I, the Lord, will make it come quickly in its time.
