Isaayyaas 60
1 “Ifni kee dhufeeraatii kaʼii ibsi; ulfinni Waaqayyoo siif baʼeera.
[You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!
2 Kunoo, dukkanni lafa, dukkanni hamaan immoo uummattoota haguuga; Waaqayyo garuu siif kaʼeera; ulfinni isaas sirraa mulʼata.
[But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.
3 Saboonni gara ifa keetii, mootonni immoo gara ifa kee 2 isa bariitti ni dhufu.
By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.
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.
[Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.
5 Ergasii ni ilaalta; ni calaqqiftas; lapheen kee ni dhaʼata; gammachuudhaanis ni guutama; qabeenyi galaanotaa hundinuu gara kee dhufu; badhaadhummaan sabootaas kan kee taʼa.
When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.
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.
People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.
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.
They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.
8 “Warri akkuma gugeewwanii manneen isaaniitti barrisan, kanneen akka duumessaa gugatan kunneen eenyu faʼi?
And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
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.
But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored you.
10 “Namoonni ormaa dallaa kee ni ijaaru; mootonni isaaniis si tajaajilu; Ani aariidhaan si dhaʼu illee, gara laafina koo jaalalaan sitti nan argisiisa.
Foreigners will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.
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;
The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.
12 Sabni yookaan mootummaan si hin tajaajille ni barbadaaʼuutii; guutummaan guutuuttis ni balleeffamu.
And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
13 “Ulfinni Libaanoon, gaattiraan, qararoo fi hadheessi, lafa iddoo qulqulluu koo miidhagsuuf gara kee ni dhufu; anis iddoo miilli koo dhaabatu nan kabaja.
The glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be glorious!
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.
The descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.
15 “Yoo ati jibbamtee gatamtee namni tokko iyyuu si keessaan darbuu lagate iyyuu, ani boontuu bara baraatii fi gammachuu dhaloota hundaa sin taasisa.
Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.
16 Ati aannan sabootaa ni dhugda; harma moototaas ni hoota. Yommus ani Waaqayyo Jabaan Yaaqoob, Fayyisaa kee fi Furaa kee akkan taʼe ni beekta.
People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.
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.
Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.
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.
People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].
19 Siʼachi aduun guyyaadhaan, ifni jiʼaas halkaniin ifa kee hin taʼu; Waaqayyo ifa kee bara baraa taʼaatii; Waaqni kee ulfina kee ni taʼa.
And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.
20 Aduun kee deebitee hin dhiitu; jiʼi kee hin badu; Waaqayyo ifa kee bara baraa ni taʼa; barri gadda kees ni raawwatama.
[It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].
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 righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.
22 Maatiin muraasni kuma, gareen xinnaan immoo saba guddaa taʼa. Ani Waaqayyoo dha; waan kana yeroo isaatti dafee nan hojjedha.”
At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
