Isaayyaas 66
1 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Samiin teessoo koo ti; laftis ejjeta miilla kootii ti. Manni isin naaf ijaartan meerre? Lafti boqonnaa kootii eessa?
Thus said Jehovah: The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this — the house that ye build for Me? And where [is] this — the place — My rest?
2 Waan kana hunda harki koo hin hojjennee? Kanaafuu wantoonni kunneen hundi kanuma koo ti” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani garuu nama gad of qabuu fi kan garaa isaa keessatti gaabbee dubbii kootiin hollatuu nan ilaala.
And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
3 Garuu namni korma qalu kam iyyuu akkuma nama nama ajjeesu tokkoo ti; namni xobbaallaa hoolaa qalu kam iyyuu akkuma nama morma saree cabsu tokkoo ti; namni aarsaa midhaanii dhiʼeessu kam iyyuu akkuma nama dhiiga booyyee dhiʼeessu tokkoo ti; namni ixaana yaadannoo aarsu kam iyyuus akkuma nama waaqa tolfamaa waaqeffatu tokkoo ti. Isaan karaa ofii isaanii filataniiru; lubbuun isaaniis xuraaʼummaa isaaniitti gammaddi.
Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present — The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.
4 Kanaafuu ani gidiraa isaaniif nan fila; waan isaan akka malee sodaatanis isaanitti nan fida. Yeroo ani waametti namni tokko iyyuu na jalaa hin owwaanne; yeroo ani dubbadhetti namni tokko iyyuu hin dhaggeeffanneetii. Isaan fuula koo duratti waan hamaa hojjetanii waan na hin gammachiifne illee filatan.”
I also — I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not — fixed.
5 Warri dubbii isaatiin hollattan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa: “Obboleeyyan keessan warri sababii maqaa kootiif isin jibbanii isin ariʼan sun akkana jedhan; ‘Akka nu gammachuu keessan arginuuf, mee Waaqayyo haa ulfaatu!’ Taʼus isaan ni qaanaʼu.
Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word, Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you out, for My name's sake: 'Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on your joy,' But they are ashamed.
6 Huursaa magaalaa keessaa sana dhagaʼaa; waca mana qulqullummaa keessaa dhagaʼaa! Wanni kun sagalee Waaqayyoo kan yeroo inni gatii diinota isaa hundaaf malu isaaniif kennuu ti.
A voice of noise [is] from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies.
7 “Isheen utuu hin ciniinsifatin, ni deessi; utuu miixuun daʼumsaa ishee hin qabatin, ilma deessi.
Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male.
8 Eenyutu takkumaa waan akkasii dhagaʼe? Waan takkumaa akkasii eenyutu arge? Biyyi tokko guyyuma tokkotti dhalachuu dandeessii? Yookaan sabni yeruma tokkotti biqiluu dandaʼaa? Xiyoon garuu akkuma ciniinsifatteen, ijoollee ishee deesse.
Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons.
9 Ani yeroo daʼumsaatiin nama gaʼee daʼuu nan dhowwaa?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani daʼumsaan gaʼee gadameessa nan cufaa?” jedha Waaqni kee.
'Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?' saith Jehovah, 'Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,' said thy God.
10 “Isin warri ishee jaallattan hundi, Yerusaalem wajjin gammadaa; isheefis ililchaa; isin warri isheef boossan hundi, guddisaatii ishee wajjin gammadaa.
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her,
11 Isin harma ishee kan nama jajjabeessu sana hootanii ni quuftuutii; ulfina ishee guddaa sana irraas gammachuudhaan ni dhugdu.”
So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour.
12 Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Kunoo ani nagaa akkuma bishaan lagaa, badhaadhummaa sabootaas akkuma laga yaaʼuu isheef nan dhangalaasa; isin ni hootu; harka ishee irratti ni baatamtu; gudeeda ishee irra illee ni taphattu.
For thus said Jehovah: 'Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.
13 Akkuma haati daaʼima ishee urursitu sana, anis isinan urursa; isinis Yerusaalem keessatti ni ururfamtu.”
As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you, Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted.
14 Isin yommuu waan kana argitanitti garaan keessan ni gammada; lafeen keessan akka margaa ni haaromfama; harki Waaqayyoo akka garboota isaa wajjin jirus ni beekama; dheekkamsi isaa garuu amajaajota isaa irratti ni mulʼifama.
And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with His enemies.
15 Kunoo, Waaqayyo ibiddaan ni dhufa; gaariiwwan isaas akkuma bubbee hamaa ti; inni aarii isaa dhaʼichaan, ifannaa isaa immoo arraba ibiddaatiin gad buusa.
For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in flames of fire.
16 Waaqayyo ibiddaa fi goraadee isaatiin namoota hunda irratti murtii raawwataatii; namoonni Waaqayyoon ajjeefaman ni baayʼatu.
For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah's pierced ones.'
17 “Warri iddoo biqiltuu seenuuf jedhanii, isa warra foon booyyee, foon hantuutaatii fi wantoota jibbisiisoo biraa nyaatan gidduutti argamu duukaa buʼuudhaan addaan of baasanii of qulqulleessan wajjin barbadeeffamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An affirmation of Jehovah.
18 “Ani waanan hojii fi yaada isaanii beekuuf, sabootaa fi afaanota hunda walitti qabuuf jedhee nan dhufa; isaanis dhufanii ulfina koo ni argu.
And I — their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.
19 “Ani gidduu isaanii mallattoo nan kaaʼa; hambaawwan keessaa namoota tokko tokko gara sabootaa jechuunis gara Tarshiish, Phuulii fi gara Luud warra xiyyaan lolan, gara Tuubaalii fi Yaawaan akkasumas gara biyyoota bishaan gidduu fagoo jiran kanneen waaʼee koo hin dhagaʼinii yookaan ulfina koo hin arginiitti nan erga. Isaanis saboota gidduutti ulfina koo ni labsu.
And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off, ) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.
20 Isaanis saboota hunda keessaa obboloota keessan hunda akkuma aarsaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu tokkootti fardeeniin, gaariiwwaniin, harrootaan, gaangolii fi gaalawwaniin gara tulluu koo qulqulluutti, gara Yerusaalem ni fidu” jedha Waaqayyo. “Isaanis akkuma Israaʼeloonni miʼa akka seeraatti qulqulluu taʼeen aarsaa midhaan isaanii gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti fidan sanatti jara fidu.
And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.
21 Anis isaan keessaa namoota tokko tokko akka isaan lubootaa fi Lewwota taʼaniif nan filadha” jedha Waaqayyo.
And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said Jehovah.
22 “Akkuma samiin haaraanii fi lafti haaraan ani uumu itti fufanii fuula koo dura jiraatan sana maqaa fi sanyiin keessan itti fufanii jiraatu” jedha Waaqayyo.
For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name.
23 “Ayyaana Baatii tokkoo hamma Ayyaana Baatii kaaniitti, Sanbata tokkoo hamma Sanbata kaaniittis sanyiin namaa hundi dhufee fuula koo duratti ni sagada” jedha Waaqayyo.
And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah.
24 “Isaanis gad baʼanii reeffa warra natti fincilanii ni ilaalu; raammoon isaanii hin duʼu; ibiddi isaaniis hin dhaamu; isaanis sanyii namaa hundaaf jibbisiisoo taʼu.”
And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!
