Ishacyaah 41
1 Gasiiradahow, hortayda ku aamusa, oo dadkuna xooggooda ha cusboonaysiisteen, ha soo dhowaadeen, oo ha hadleen. Aynu dhammaanteen garsoorid u soo wada dhowaanno.
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let nations acquire new strength: let them approach, then let them speak, together let us come near to judgment.
2 Waa kuma kan mid xagga bari ka soo kiciyey, oo isaga xaqnimo ugu yeedhay inuu raaco? Quruumaha hortiisuu ku siiyaa, oo isaga ka dhigaa inuu boqorro u taliyo. Iyaga wuxuu seeftiisa kaga dhigaa sida boodh oo kale, oo qaansadiisana wuxuu kaga dhigaa sida xaab bidaya oo kale.
Who waked up from the east the man whom righteousness met in his steps? he giveth up nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; that his sword may render them as the dust, as driven stubble, his bow.
3 Isagu wuu eryadaa iyaga, oo ammaan buu ku dhaafaa jid uusan mar hore marin.
He pursueth them, passeth along in safety, by a path which his feet have not gone over before.
4 Yaa waxan sameeyey oo sidan yeelay isagoo facaca bilowgii uga yeedhaya? Anigoo Rabbiga ah, oo ah Kan ugu horreeya iyo Kan kuwa dambe la jira, isagaan ahay.
Who hath wrought and done it? he who called the generations from the beginning; I the Lord, [who am] the first, and with the latest I am the same.
5 Gasiiradahu way arkeen, wayna cabsadeen, oo dhulka darafyadiisuna way gariireen, wayna soo dhowaadeen oo yimaadeen.
The isles saw it, and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come.
6 Midkood waluba wuxuu caawiyey deriskiisii, oo midkood waluba wuxuu walaalkiis ku yidhi, Dhiirranow.
They help one another; and each one saith to his brother, Be strong!
7 Markaasuu nijaarkii dahabtumihii dhiirrigeliyey, oo kii dubbaha wax ku simi jirayna birtumihii buu dhiirrigeliyey, isagoo leh, Laxaamaddu way wanaagsan tahay. Markaasuu masaamiir ku sii adkeeyey si ayan u dhaqdhaqaaqin.
So the smith encouraged the melter, he that smootheth with the hammer him that striketh on the anvil; saying of the solder, It is good; and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
8 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iilow, waxaad tihiin addoommadayda, reer Yacquubkii aan doortayow, farcankii saaxiibkay Ibraahimow,
But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend;
9 waxaan idinka soo kaxaystay dhulka darafyadiisa, oo geesihiisa waan idiinka yeedhay, oo waxaan idinku idhi, Waxaad tihiin addoommadayda, waanan idin doortay, idinmana xoorin.
Thou, whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the midst of its chiefs, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Ha cabsanina, waayo, waan idinla jiraa, ha nixina, maxaa yeelay, Ilaahiinna baan ahay, waan idin xoogayn doonaa, waanan idin caawin doonaa, oo waxaan idinku tiirin doonaa midigtayda xaqa ah.
Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I strengthen thee, yea, I help thee, yea, I uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Bal eega, kuwa idinku cadhaysan oo dhammu way wada ceeboobi doonaan, wayna sharafjabi doonaan, oo kuwa idinla dirirayaana waxay noqon doonaan sida wax aan jirin, wayna wada halligmi doonaan.
Behold, ashamed and confounded shall be all that were incensed against thee; they shall be as naught and perish—the men that strive with thee.
12 Waad doondooni doontaan, mana aad heli doontaan, xataa kuwa idinla diriraya, kuwa idinla dagaallamayaana waxay noqon doonaan sida wax aan jirin oo kale, iyo sida wax baabbah ah.
Thou wilt seek them, and shalt not find them, the men that contend with thee; they shall be as naught and as nothing, the men that make war against thee.
13 Waayo, anigoo ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa gacanta midig idinku qaban doona anoo idinku leh, Ha cabsanina, anigaa idin caawin doone.
For I the Lord thy God lay hold of thy right hand; [I am he] who saith unto thee, Fear not, I help thee.
14 Dixiriga reer Yacquub ahow, ha cabsan, dadkiinnan reer binu Israa'iilow, waan idin caawin doonaa, ayuu leeyahay Rabbiga Bixiyihiinna ah oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil.
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye few men of Israel: I myself help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 Bal eega, waxaan idinka dhigi doonaa alaab cusub oo af badan oo ilka leh oo wax lagu tumo, oo waxaad tumi doontaan buuraha, waanad daqiijin doontaan, oo kurahana waxaad ka dhigi doontaa sida buunshe oo kale.
Behold, I have rendered thee a threshing instrument, sharp, new, having many teeth: thou shalt thresh mountains, and beat them small, and shalt render the hills as chaff.
16 Waad haadin doontaan, oo dabayshaa kaxaysan doonta, cirwareentuna way kala firdhin doontaa, oo waxaad ku rayrayn doontaan Rabbiga, waanad ku faani doontaan kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil.
Thou shalt scatter them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the storm shall disperse them; but thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel shalt thou glorify thyself.
17 Masaakiinta iyo saboolka baahanuba biyay doondoonaan, mana jiraan, carrabkoodiina oon buu la engegay, anigoo Rabbiga ah ayaa u jawaabi doona, anigoo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ma dayrin doono.
The poor and the needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue is dried up with thirst: I the Lord will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 Meelaha sarsare ayaan webiyo ka furi doonaa, ilona dhooxooyinka dhexdood ayaan ka soo dayn doonaa. Oo cidladana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa balli biya ah, dhulka engeganna durdurro biya ah.
I will open on naked mountain-peaks rivers, and in the midst of valleys fountains; I will change the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into springs of water.
19 Waxaan cidlada ku soo beeri doonaa geedaha la yidhaahdo kedar, iyo qudhac, iyo hadaas, iyo geedsaliid, oo lamadegaankana waxaan ka soo bixin doonaa geedaha ah beroosh, iyo tidhaar, iyo te'ashuur,
I will place in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine and the box-tree together;
20 in la arko, oo la ogaado, oo laga fiirsado, oo dhammaan la wada garto in gacanta Rabbigu ay waxaas samaysay, iyo in kan Quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil uu waxaas uumay.
In order that they may see, and know and take [it to heart], and comprehend together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dacwadiinna keena. Boqorka reer Yacquub wuxuu leeyahay, Sababihiinna adag soo saara.
Produce your cause, saith the Lord: bring forward your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
22 Iyagu ha soo saareen, oo waxa dhici doona ha noo sheegeen. Waxyaalihii jiri jiray iyo waxay yihiin noo sheega, si aannu uga fiirsanno, oo aannu u ogaanno waxay ugudambaystoodu noqon doonto, amase waxyaalaha iman doona na tusa.
Let them bring them forward and tell us what shall happen: the former things—what are they?—tell us, that we may take it to heart, and know the result of them; or let us hear the things that are to come.
23 Waxyaalaha hadda dabadeed iman doona noo sheega si aannu u ogaanno inaad idinku ilaahyo tihiin. Bal wanaag ama shar sameeya, si aannu u naxno, oo aannu dhammaantayo u wada fiirinno.
Tell the events that are to happen hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be astonished, and see it together.
24 Bal eega, idinku waxaad tihiin sida waxaan jirin oo kale, oo shuqulkiinnuna waa baabba', oo kii idin doortaana waa karaahiyo.
Behold, ye are less than nothing, and your work less than a breath: [he that is] an abomination [alone] chooseth you.
25 Mid baan xagga woqooyi ka soo kiciyey, wuuna yimid, kaasoo tan iyo marka qorraxdu soo baxdo magacayga ku baryootama, oo wuxuu amiirro ugu dul tuman doonaa sida dhoobada malaasta ah loogu tunto oo kale, iyo sida dheryasameeyuhu dhoobada ugu tunto oo kale.
I have waked up one from the north, and he cometh; from the rising of the sun one who will call on my name: and he shall [over-]come princes as mortar, and as the potter treadeth down the clay.
26 Kumaase waa hore sii sheegay, si aannu u nidhaahno, Waa runtiis? Hubaal mid wax sheega ma jiro, oo mid wax tusa ma jiro, oo mid erayadiinna maqla ma jiro.
Who hath told it from the beginning, that we may know it? and aforetimes, that we may say, “it is right?” but indeed there is none that telleth, indeed there is none that letteth us hear, indeed there is none that heareth your words.
27 Anaa ah Kan ugu horreeya oo Siyoon ku yidhi, Bal eega, bal eega iyaga, oo waxaan Yeruusaalem siin doonaa mid war wanaagsan u keena.
The first [was I to say] to Zion, Behold, there they are; and to Jerusalem will I give one that bringeth good tidings.
28 Oo markaan eego, ninna ma jiro, oo markaan wax weyddiiyana taliye eray iigu jawaabi kara dhexdooda laguma arag.
And I ever look, and there is no man; and among these there is no counsellor, that they could answer a word.
29 Bal eega, kulligood shuqulladoodu waa wax aan waxba ahayn, waana baabba' oo sanamyadooda la shubayna waa dabayl iyo wax aan micne lahayn.
Behold, they all are naught; their works are nothing: wind and vanity are their molten images.
