Isaayyaas 65
1 “Ani warra na hin iyyaafatinitti nan mulʼadhe; warri na hin barbaadinis na argatan. Ani saba maqaa koo hin waammatiniin, ‘Ani asan jira; ani asan jira’ nan jedhe.
Those who before were not asking for me have sought me. Those who have not sought me have found me. I said, “Behold, it is I! Behold, it is I!” to a nation which was not invoking my name.
2 Ani guyyaa guutuu gara uummata didaa taʼeetti, kan karaa gaarii hin taʼin irra deemu, kan yaada ofii isaa duukaa buʼuuf harka koo nan diriirfadhe;
I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people, who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,
3 Isaan saba iddoo biqiltuu keessatti aarsaa dhiʼeessuudhaan, iddoo aarsaa kan xuubii irrattis ixaana aarsuudhaan, utuu gargar hin kutin, utuma ani arguu dheekkamsaaf na kakaasanii dha;
to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually, who immolate in the gardens, and who sacrifice upon the bricks.
4 isaan warra awwaala gidduu tataaʼanii lafa dhoksaa bulanii dha; warra foon booyyee nyaatanii okkoteen isaanii bishaan foon xuraaʼaa baatuu dha;
They live in sepulchers, and they sleep in the shrines of idols. They eat the flesh of swine, and a profane elixir is in their vessels.
5 isaan warra, ‘Achi fagaadhu; natti hin dhiʼaatin; ani si caalaa qulqulluudhaatii!’ jedhanii dha. Sabni akkasii funyaan koo keessatti akkuma aaraa, akkuma ibidda guyyaa guutuu bobaʼuu ti.
They say: “Depart from me! Do not approach me, for you are unclean!” Such as these will be the smoke in my fury, a fire burning all day long.
6 “Kunoo, wanni kun akkana jedhamee fuula koo duratti barreeffameera: ani hin calʼisu; garuu gatii hojii isaanii guutuu nan kennaaf; dhugumaanis qomatti isaan nan baachisa.
Behold, it has been written in my sight; I will not be silent. Instead, I will render retribution into their sinews.
7 Kunis cubbuu keessanii fi cubbuu abbootii keessanii ti” jedha Waaqayyo. “Isaan tulluuwwan irratti aarsaa dhiʼeessanii, gaarran irratti waan na arrabsaniif, ani hojii isaanii kan duriitiif, kaffaltii guutuu isaaniifin kenna.”
Your iniquities are joined with the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. For they have sacrificed upon the mountains, and they have offended me upon the hills. And so, I will measure back to them, from their first work, into their sinews.
8 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Akkuma yeroo hurbuu wayinii keessa cuunfaan jirutti, namoonni, ‘Amma iyyuu eebbatu keessa jiraatii, hin balleessinaa’ jedhan sana, anis tajaajiltoota kootiif akkasuma nan godha; isaan hundas hin balleessu.
Thus says the Lord: In the same way as it is said about a grain found in a cluster, “Do not destroy it, because it is a blessing,” so will I act for the sake of my servants, so that I may not destroy the whole.
9 Anis Yaaqoob keessaa sanyii tokko, Yihuudaa keessaa immoo warra tulluuwwan koo dhaalan nan biqilcha; sabni koo filatamaan tulluuwwan sana dhaala; tajaajiltoonni koos achi ni jiraatu.
And I will lead forth an offspring from Jacob, and a possessor of my mountains from Judah. And my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall live there.
10 Saba koo kan na barbaaduuf Shaaroon lafa bushaayeen itti bobbaʼan, Sululli Aakoor immoo lafa loon boqotan ni taʼan.
And the open plains will become sheepfolds for the flocks, and the valley of Achor will become a domicile for the herds, for my people who have sought me.
11 “Garuu isin warra Waaqayyoon dhiiftanii tulluu koo qulqulluu dagattan, kanneen waaqa ‘Milkii’ jedhamuuf maaddii qopheessitanii, waaqa, ‘Hiree’ jedhamuuf immoo dhibaayyuu kubbaayyaatti guuttan,
And you who have forsaken the Lord, who have forgotten my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who offer libations concerning her:
12 ani irbaata goraadee isinan godha; isin hundis qalamuuf gad jettu; ani isin waameen ture; isin garuu na jalaa hin owwaanne; ani dubbadheen ture; isin garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne. Isin fuuluma koo duratti waan hamaa hojjettanii waan na hin gammachiifne filattan.”
I will number you with the sword, and you will all fall by slaughter. For I called and you did not respond; I spoke, and you did not listen. And you did what is evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, you have chosen.
13 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Garboonni koo ni nyaatu; isin garuu ni beeloftu; garboonni koo ni dhugu; isin garuu ni dheebottu; garboonni koo ni gammadu; isin garuu ni qaanoftu.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, my servants will eat, and you will be hungry. Behold, my servants will drink, and you will be thirsty.
14 Garboonni koo gammachuu garaa irraa maddeen ni faarfatu; isin garuu, waan garaan keessan miidhameef ni boossu; waan hafuurri keessan gaddeef ni wawwaattu.
Behold, my servants will rejoice, and you will be confounded. Behold, my servants will give praise in exultation of heart, and you will cry out in sorrow of heart, and you will wail in contrition of spirit.
15 Filatamtoonni koo maqaa isin dabarfattan sana abaarsaaf itti fayyadamu; Waaqayyo Gooftaan isin fixa; garboota isaatiif garuu maqaa biraa ni kenna.
And you will leave behind your name to my elect as a curse. And the Lord God will put you to death, and he will call his servants by another name.
16 Namni lafa irratti eebbifamu kam iyyuu, Waaqa dhugaatiin eebbifama; namni lafa irratti kakatus, Waaqa dhugaatiin kakata. Rakkinni durii ni irraanfatama; ija koo duraas ni dhokataatii.
By that name, whoever is blessed on earth, will be blessed in God. Amen! And whoever swears on earth, will swear by God. Amen! For the past anguishes have been delivered into oblivion, and they have been hidden from my eyes.
17 “Kunoo ani, samiiwwan haaraa fi lafa haaraa nan uuma. Wanni durii hin yaadatamu; yookaan qalbii namaatti hin dhufu.
For behold, I create the new heavens and the new earth. And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart.
18 Isin garuu waan ani uumutti, bara baraan gammadaa ililchaa; ani Yerusaalemin gammachuuf, saba ishee immoo ililleef nan uumaatii.
But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem as an exultation, and its people as a joy.
19 Ani Yerusaalemitti nan gammada; saba koottis nan gammada; siʼachi sagaleen booʼichaatii fi iyyaa ishee keessatti hin dhagaʼamu.
And I will exult in Jerusalem, and I will rejoice in my people. And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore.
20 “Siʼachi, daaʼimni guyyaa muraasa qofa jiraatu, yookaan jaarsi umuriin isaa hanqatu tokko iyyuu ishee keessatti hin argamu; namni waggaa dhibbatti duʼu, akka waan dargaggummaan duʼeetti yaadama; namni waggaa dhibba hanqate tokko, akka waan abaarameetti hedama.
There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there, nor an elder who does not complete his days. For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age, and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed.
21 Namoonni mana ni ijaarratu; achi keessas ni jiraatu; wayinii dhaabbatu; ija isaas ni nyaatu.
And they will build houses, and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards, and will eat their fruits.
22 Siʼachi isaan mana ijaaranii namoonni biraa keessa hin jiraatan; yookaan isaan biqiltuu dhaabanii namoonni biraa hin nyaatan. Umuriin saba koo, akkuma umurii mukaa ni taʼa; warri ani filadhe, hojii harka isaaniitiin bara dheeraa ni gammadu.
They will not build, so that another may inhabit. They will not plant, so that another may eat. For according to the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people. And the works of their hands will be long-standing.
23 Isaan akkasumaan hin dadhaban yookaan ijoollee balaan eeggattu hin dhalchan; isaan sanyii isaanii wajjin saba Waaqayyo eebbisu ni taʼu.
My elect will not labor in vain, and they will not bring forth in disorder. For they are the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity are with them.
24 Ani utuu isaan na hin waammatin nan deebisaaf; utuu isaan dubbatanii hin fixinis nan dhagaʼa.
And this shall be: before they call out, I will perceive; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 Yeeyyii fi xobbaallaan hoolaa walii wajjin nyaatu; leenci akka sangaa okaa nyaata; biyyoon garuu soora bofaa taʼa. Isaan tulluu koo qulqulluu hunda irratti homaa hin miidhan yookaan homaa hin balleessan” jedha Waaqayyo.
The wolf and the lamb will pasture together. The lion and the ox will eat hay. And dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
