Isaayyaas 62
1 Hamma qajeelummaan ishee akka barii barraaqaa, fayyinni ishee akka guca bobaʼuu ifutti, ani waaʼee Xiyoon hin calʼisu; waaʼee Yerusaalemis afaan hin qabadhu.
For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.
2 Saboonni qajeelummaa kee, mootonni hundinuus ulfina kee ni argu; ati maqaa haaraa, kan afaan Waaqayyoo siif baasuun ni waamamta.
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which the LORD’s mouth will name.
3 Ati harka Waaqayyoo keessatti gonfoo ulfinaa, harka Waaqa keetii keessattis marata mootii ni taata.
You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
4 Ati siʼachi, Gatamtuu hin jedhamtu, yookaan biyyi kee Ontuu hin jedhamtu. Ati garuu, “Ani isheetti nan gammada” jedhamta; biyyi kees “kan heerumte” jedhamti; Waaqayyo sitti gammadaatii, biyyi kee ni heerumti.
You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.
5 Akkuma dargaggeessi durba fuudhu, ilmaan kee si fuudhu; akkuma misirrichi misirrittiitti gammadu, Waaqni kees sitti gammada.
For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 Yaa Yerusaalem, ani dallaawwan kee irratti eegdota ramadeera; isaan gonkumaa halkanii fi guyyaa hin calʼisan. Isin warri Waaqayyoon waammattan, ofii keessaniif boqonnaa hin kenninaa;
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
7 hamma inni Yerusaalemin cimsee ijaaree akka isheen lafa irratti leellifamtuu taatu godhutti boqonnaa isaaf hin kenninaa.
and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee harka isaa mirgaatii fi irree isaa jabaa sanaan kakateera; “Ani lammata midhaan kee nyaata godhee diinota keetiif hin kennu; namoonni ormaas lammata daadhii wayinii haaraa kan ati itti dadhabde hin dhugan;
The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
9 garuu warri galfatan midhaan sana ni nyaatu; Waaqayyoonis ni galateeffatu; warri ija wayinii guurratanis oobdii iddoo qulqulluu koo keessatti ni dhugu.”
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
10 Keessa darbaa; karrawwan keessaan darbaa! Uummataaf karaa qopheessaa. Tolchaa; karaa guddaa tolchaa! Dhagaawwan bubuqqisaa. Sabootaafis faajjii ol qabaa.
Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for the peoples.
11 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee hamma moggaa lafaatti labseera; “Intala Xiyooniin akkana jedhaa: ‘Kunoo Fayyisaan kee ni dhufa! Badhaasni isaa kunoo isa harka jira; beenyaan inni namaaf baasus isuma wajjin jira.’”
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him!’”
12 Isaanis Saba Qulqulluu, Furamtoota Waaqayyoo jedhamanii ni waamamu; atis barbaadamtuu, Magaalaa Siʼachi Hin Onne ni jedhamta.
They will call them “The Holy People, The LORD’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
