Ishacyaah 43
1 Laakiinse haatan, reer Yacquubow, Rabbigii idin uumay wuxuu leeyahay, oo reer binu Israa'iilow, kii idin sameeyey wuxuu leeyahay, Ha cabsanina, waayo, anigaa idin soo furtay, oo magiciinna idiin bixiyey, oo kuwayga baad tihiin.
But now, you people of Israel, listen to Yahweh, the one who established your nation. The one who caused you to become a nation [DOU] says this: “Do not be afraid, because I previously rescued you. I enabled you to have a personal relationship with me [MTY], and you belong to me.
2 Markaad biyaha dhex maraysaan waan idinla jiri doonaa, oo markaad webiyaasha dhex qaadaysaanna idinma qarqin doonaan, markaad dabka ku dhex socotaanna, ma guban doontaan, ololkuna idinma qabsan doono.
When you [experience dangerous situations], and [you feel like] [MET] you are crossing deep rivers, I will be with you. When you have very big troubles/difficulties, you will [LIT] be able to endure them. When [people try to kill you like they tried to kill Daniel’s three friends by] throwing them in a fire, you will not [die, just like Daniel’s three friends were not] burned up,
3 Waayo, waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil iyo Badbaadiyihiinna. Masar baan furashadiinnii u bixiyey, oo Itoobiya iyo Sebaana beddelkiinnii.
because I am Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, the one who rescues you. I will enable [the army of the emperor of Persia] to conquer Egypt instead of conquering you; similarly I will enable them to conquer Ethiopia, and Seba [in Arabia], in order that you can be saved.
4 Indhahayga hortooda waxaad ku ahaydeen kuwa qaali ah, oo sharaf badan, waanan idin jeclaaday, oo sidaas daraaddeed niman baan idinku doorsan doonaa, oo dad badan baan naftiinna ku soo beddelan doonaa.
I will cause other countries to be conquered, instead of your country; I will trade them for you, in order that you will not be killed, because you are very precious [DOU] to me and because I love you.
5 Ha cabsanina, waayo, waan idinla jiraa, oo farcankiinnana xagga bari baan ka keeni doonaa, oo xagga galbeed baan idinka soo ururin doonaa,
Do not be afraid, because I am with you. [Some day] I will gather your descendants from the east and from the west.
6 oo waxaan woqooyi ku odhan doonaa, Soo daa, oo koonfurna waxaan ku odhan doonaa, Ha celin, wiilashayda meel fog ka soo kexee, oo gabdhahaygana dhulka darafkiisa ka soo kexee,
I will command the [rulers of the nations to] the north and to the south, ‘Allow all the people of Israel to return [to their country], from the most distant places on the earth.
7 waana mid kasta oo magacayga loogu yeedho, oo aan u uumay sharaftayda aawadeed. Anigaa sameeyey, oo anigaa suubbiyey.
Allow all those who belong to me [MTY] to return, because I have caused them to become a nation in order that they would honor me; I am the one who has done that [DOU].’
8 Waxaad soo bixisaan dadka indhaha la' oo indho leh, iyo kuwa dhegaha la' oo dhego leh.
Summon the people who have eyes but [it is as though] they are blind; summon those who have ears but [because they do not listen to me, it is as though] they are deaf.
9 Quruumaha oo dhammu ha isu soo wada urureen, oo dadyowguna ha soo wada shireen. Bal yaa iyaga ka mid ah oo waxan sheegi kara oo waxyaalihii hore noo sheegi kara? Markhaatiyaashoodii ha keenteen si ay xaq ku noqdaan aawadeed, amase ha maqleen oo ha yidhaahdeen, Taasu waa run.
Gather people of all nations together, ones from all people-groups, [and ask them this]: ‘Has any of their idols foretold the things that are happening now? And can any of them predict what will happen in the future?’ Then bring people who will testify and say ‘I heard them predict things, and what they predicted was what happened,’ [but they will be lying].”
10 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinka iyo addoonkaygii aan doortayba markhaatiyaashaydii baad tihiin inaad ogaataan oo aad i rumaysataan, oo aad garataan inaan anigu isagii ahay. Aniga hortay Ilaah lama samayn, dabadayna innaba ma jiri doono.
But Yahweh says, “You people of Israel (are my witnesses/know what I have done), and you are the ones who serve me. I chose you in order that you would know me, believe in me, and understand that I am the only one who is [truly] God. There is no other [true] God. There was no other [true] God previously, and there will never be another [true] God.
11 Aniga, aniga qudhayda ayaa Rabbiga ah, oo aniga mooyaane Badbaadiye kale ma jiro.
I, [only] I, am Yahweh, and there is no other one who can save you.
12 Anigu waan naadiyey, oo waan badbaadiyey, oo waan muujiyey, oo ilaah qalaad dhexdiinna kuma uu jirin, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinku waxaad tihiin markhaatiyaashaydii, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. Aniguna Ilaah baan ahay.
I said that I would rescue [your ancestors], and then I rescued them, and I proclaimed [that I had done it]. No foreign god among you did that! And you are witnesses that only I, Yahweh, am God.
13 Tan iyo maalintii ugu horraysay anigu waxaan ahay isagii, oo mana jiro mid gacantayda wax ka samatabbixin kara, anigu waan shaqayn doonaa, balse yaa hor joogsan kara?
I am God, the one who has existed forever and who will exist forever; no one can snatch people from my hand, and no one can alter/change what I have done.”
14 Rabbiga Bixiyihiinna ah oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Idinka aawadiin ayaan Baabuloon ugu cid diray, oo kuweedii cararay oo dhanna, kuwaasoo ahaa reer Kaldayiin, waxaan ku keeni doonaa doonniyaha ay ku faani jireen.
Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, is the one who rescues you; and this is what he says: “For your sake, I will send [an army] to [attack] Babylon. They will force the people of that city to flee in ships which they have been proud of.
15 Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga ah Kiinna Quduuska ah, iyo Abuuraha reer binu Israa'iil, iyo Boqorkiinna.
I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the one who caused Israel to become a nation, and the one who is really your king.
16 Sidaas waxaa leh Rabbiga badda dhexdeeda jid ka sameeya, oo biyaha xoogga badan dhexdoodana dhabbe ka hagaajiya,
I am Yahweh, the one who opened a path through the water, making a road through the [Red] Sea.
17 kan gaadhifaraska iyo faraska, iyo ciidanka iyo ninka xoogga badan soo bixiya, iyagu dhammaantood way wada jiifsadaan, oo mana ay kici doonaan, way bakhtiyeen, oo waxay u dameen sidii dubaalad oo kale.
Then I summoned the great army [of Egypt] to come with all their chariots and horses. [But when they tried to pursue my people], I caused the waves to flow over them [and they drowned]; their lives ended [like the light of a candle ends when someone] [MET] snuffs out the wick.
18 Waxyaalihii hore ha xusuusanina, waxyaalihii qadiimka ahaana ha ka fikirina.
But do not think [only] about what happened in the past, long ago [DOU].
19 Bal eega, wax cusub baan samaynayaaye, oo haddeer bay soo baxayaan, idinku miyeydaan garan doonin? Xataa cidlada dhexdeeda jid baan ka samayn doonaa, oo lamadegaanka dhexdiisana webiyo baan ka jeexi doonaa.
Instead, consider the new thing that I am going to do. I have already started to do it; can you see it? I am going to make a road through the desert. And I will cause there to be streams in the wasteland/desert.
20 Xayawaanka duurka, kuwaasoo ah dawacooyinka iyo gorayaduba way i sharfi doonaan; maxaa yeelay, cidladaan biyo uga siiyaa, oo lamadegaankaan webiyo uga jeexaa si aan u waraabiyo dadkayga aan doortay,
The jackals/wolves and owls and other wild creatures will thank me for giving them water in the desert. I will cause streams to appear in the dry desert in order that my people, the ones whom I have chosen, will have water;
21 oo ah dadkaan abuurtay si ay ammaantayda u muujiyaan.
I will do that for the people whom I have created [and chosen] to belong to me, and [some day] they will cause many others to praise me.
22 Laakiinse reer Yacquubow, ima aydaan baryin, reer Israa'iilow, waad iga daasheen.
But now, you descendants of Jacob, you refuse to request my help. It seems that you people of Israel have become tired of worshiping me.
23 Adhigiinnii qurbaannadiinna la gubo iiguma aydaan keenin, oo allabaryadiinniina iguma aydaan sharfin. Anigu idinkuma aanan dhibin inaad qurbaanno ii bixisaan, oo idinkumana aanan daalin inaad foox ii shiddaan.
You have not brought to me sheep or goats for offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]; you have not honored me by [bringing to me any] sacrifices, even though the offerings of grain and incense [that I asked you] to bring to me were not a burden to you.
24 Qasab macaan lacag iiguma aydaan soo iibin, oo baruurtii allabaryadiinnana igama aydaan dherjin, laakiinse waxaad aad iigu dhibteen dembiyadiinnii, oo waxaad igu daaliseen xumaatooyinkiinnii.
You have bought for me fragrant reeds, and you have brought me the fat from your sacrifices. But these have not pleased me, because you have burdened me by all the sins that you have committed, and made me weary because of all (your iniquities/the wrong things that you have done).
25 Aniga qudhayda weeye kan xadgudubyadiinna tirtira, aawaday baan u tirtiraa, oo dembiyadiinnana sooma aan xusuusan doono.
I am the one who is able to forgive you for all your sins; I am the only one who can do that, with the result that I will never think about them again.
26 Bal wax i soo xusuusiya, aynu isla muddacnee, dacwadiinna soo caddeeya, si aad xaq ku noqotaan.
Tell me what I have done that you do not like. Do you think that when you state your case, you will prove that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong) [IRO]?
27 Awowgiinnii hore wuu dembaabay, oo macallimiintiiniina way igu xadgudbeen.
No, [what has happened is that] the first ancestor of you Israelis sinned [against me], and since then, all your leaders have rebelled against me.
28 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaan amiirradii meesha quduuska ah ka dhigi doonaa wax nijaas ah, reer Yacquubna habaar baan u dayn doonaa, oo dadka Israa'iilna cay baan u dayn doonaa.
That is why I have caused your priests to be disgraced; and I have allowed others to destroy you people of Israel and caused you to be despised.”
