Faarfannaa 50
1 Faarfannaa Asaaf. Waaqayyo, Humna Qabeessi dubbatee baʼa biiftuutii jalqabee hamma lixa biiftuutti lafa waameera.
God, the all-powerful one, speaks; he summons all people, from the east to the west.
2 Xiyoon ishee miidhaginni ishee hirʼina hin qabne irraa Waaqni ni ibsa.
His glory shines from Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], an extremely beautiful city.
3 Waaqni keenya ni dhufa; hin calʼisus; ibiddi hamaan fuula isaa dura, bubbeen jabaanis naannoo isaa jira.
Our God comes to us, and he is not silent. A great fire is in front of him, and a storm is around him.
4 Inni saba isaatti muruuf jedhee, samiiwwan oliitii fi lafa akkana jedhee ni waama:
He comes to judge his people. He shouts to the [angels in] heaven and to [the people on] the earth.
5 “Qulqulloota koo warra aarsaadhaan na wajjin kakuu galan, gara kootti walitti naa qabaa.”
He says, “Summon those who faithfully [worship] me, those who made an agreement with me by offering sacrifices to me.”
6 Samiiwwan qajeelummaa isaa ni labsu; Waaqni mataan isaa abbaa murtiitii.
The [angels in] heaven declare, “God is righteous, and he is the supreme judge.”
7 “Yaa saba ko, nan dubbadhaatii dhagaʼi; yaa Israaʼel, ani dhugaa sitti nan baʼa: Ani Waaqni Waaqa kee ti.
God says, “My people, listen! You Israeli people, listen, as I, your God, say what you have done that is wrong.
8 Ani aarsaa keetiif sitti hin dheekkamu; aarsaan kee inni gubamu yeroo hunda fuula koo dura jira.
I am not rebuking you for making sacrifices to me, for the offerings that you completely burn [on the altar].
9 Ani dallaa kee keessaa korma, yookaan karra kee keessaa korbeessa reʼee hin barbaadu.
But I do not really need [you to sacrifice] the bulls from your barns and the goats from your pens,
10 Bineensi bosonaa hundinuu, horiin tulluu kuma irratti bobbaʼus kan kootii.
because all the animals in the forest belong to me, [and all] the cattle on 1,000 hills also belong to me.
11 Ani simbirroota tulluuwwan irraa hunda beeka; wanni lafa irra sosochoʼu hundinuus kan koo ti.
I [own and] know all the birds and all [the creatures] that move around in the fields.
12 Ani utuun beelaʼee iyyuu sitti hin himadhu ture; addunyaa fi wanni ishee keessa jiru hundi kanuma kootii.
[So], if I were hungry, I would not tell you [to bring me some food], because everything in the world belongs to me!
13 Ani foon korommii nan nyaadhaa? Yookaan dhiiga reʼootaa nan dhugaa?
I do not eat the flesh of the bulls [that you sacrifice], and I do not drink the blood of the goats [that you offer to me].
14 “Aarsaa galataa Waaqaaf dhiʼeessi; wareega kee illee Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitiif galchi;
The sacrifice [that I really want is that] you thank me and do all that you have promised to do.
15 guyyaa rakkinaa na waammadhu; ani sin oolchaa; atis ulfina naa kennita.”
And pray to me when you have troubles. [If you do that], I will rescue you, and [then] you will praise me.
16 Waaqni garuu nama hamaadhaan akkana jedha: “Ati seera koo labsuudhaaf, kakuu koos afaan keetiin dubbachuudhaaf mirga maalii qabda?
But I say this to the wicked people: (Why do you/It does not benefit you at all to) [RHQ] recite my commandments or talk about the agreement that I made with you,
17 Ati adaba koo ni jibbita; dubbii koos of duubatti gatta.
because you have refused to allow me to discipline you, and you have rejected what I told you to do.
18 Ati yoo hattuu argite isa michuu godhatta; ejjitoota wajjinis qooda qabaatta.
Every time that you see a thief, you become his friend, and you spend [much] time with those who commit adultery.
19 Ati afaan kee waan hamaa dubbachuuf itti fayyadamta; arraba kees gowwoomsaadhaaf dheereffatta.
You are [always] talking [MTY] about doing wicked things, and you are [always] to deceive people.
20 Ati teessee obboleessa kee hamatta; ilma haadha kee maqaa balleessita.
You are always accusing members of your own family [of doing wrong], and slandering them.
21 Ati waan kana hunda hojjetteerta; ani immoo inuma calʼise; ati akkuma ofii keetii na seete. Amma garuu ani sin ifadha; ifatti baasees sin himadha.
You did [all] those things, and I did not say anything to you, [so] you thought that I was [a sinner] just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you, right in front of you.
22 “Isin warri Waaqa irraanfattan waan kana hubadhaa; yoo kanaa achii ani isin nan ciccira; namni isin oolchu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
So, all you who have ignored me, pay attention to this, because if you do not, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to rescue you.
23 Namni aarsaa galataa dhiʼeessu ulfina naa kenna; anis warra hirʼina hin qabnetti fayyisuu Waaqaa nan argisiisa.”
The sacrifice that [truly] honors me is to thank me [for what I have done]; and I will save those who always do the things that I want them to.”
