Ishacyaah 44
1 Haddaba addoommadayda reer Yacquubow, iyo dadka Israa'iil ee aan doortayow, bal i maqla.
But now, you people of Israel whom Yahweh has chosen to serve him, listen to me.
2 Rabbiga idin uumay, oo tan iyo markaad uurka ku jirteen idin samaynayay, oo haddana ku caawin doona wuxuu leeyahay, Addoommadayda reer Yacquubow, iyo Yeshuruunkii aan doortayow, ha cabsanina.
Yahweh, the one who created you and helps you, says this: “You dear people of Israel whom I have chosen, you who serve me, do not be afraid.
3 Waayo, kii oomman biyaan ku shubi doonaa. Ruuxayga ayaan farcankiinna ku daadin doonaa, oo barakadaydana carruurtiinnaan ku shubi doonaa.
I will pour water on your dry land and cause streams to flow. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants and greatly bless them.
4 Oo iyana waxay ka soo dhex bixi doonaan cawska sida geedo safsaaf ah oo biyo socda ku ag yaal.
They will grow up like [SIM] grass grows along the water, like [SIM] willow/poplar [trees] grow well along a riverbank.
5 Oo midba wuxuu odhan doonaa, Anigu waxaan ahay kii Rabbiga, oo mid kalena wuxuu isu bixin doonaa magicii Yacquub, oo mid kalena wuxuu gacantiisa ku kor qori doonaa, Waxaan ahay kii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu isku magacaabi doonaa magicii Israa'iil.
Some of them will say, ‘I belong to Yahweh,’ and others will say, ‘We are descendants of Jacob,’ and others will write on their hands, ‘We belong to Yahweh,’ and others will say, ‘We are Israelis.’”
6 Rabbiga ah Boqorka iyo Bixiyaha reer binu Israa'iil oo ah Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan ahay kan ugu horreeyey iyo kan ugu dambeeya, oo aniga mooyaane Ilaah kale ma jiro.
Yahweh, the King of Israel, the one who saves us, the Commander of the armies of angels, says this: “I am the one who begins everything and who ends everything; there is no other God.
7 Bal yaa sidayda oo kale u sheegi kara? Ha naadiyo, oo si hagaagsan ha iigu sheegeen anoo dadkii hore dhisay. Oo waxyaalaha soo socda iyo waxa dhici doona iyagu ha sii sheegeen.
If there is anyone like me [RHQ], he should proclaim it! He should speak and tell me [now]! He should tell what has happened since I caused my people [of Israel] to become a nation long ago, and he should also tell what things will happen; he should predict what will happen in the future.
8 Ha cabsanina oo ha baqina, waayo, miyaanan waa hore idiin sii sheegin, oo aanan idin tusin? Idinku waxaad tihiin markhaatiyaashaydii. Aniga mooyaane ma Ilaah kalaa jira? Hubaal Dhagax kale ma jiro. Innaba mid kale garan maayo.
[My people], do not be afraid. Long ago I told you things that would happen [RHQ]; I predicted them, and you can testify that I did that. There certainly is not [RHQ] any other God. There is no other God who is able to protect you [MET]; I know that there is no other God!”
9 Sanamyada la qoray kuwa sameeya oo dhammu waa wax aan waxba tarayn, oo waxyaalaha ay jeclaadaanna faa'iido ma yeelan doonaan, oo markhaatiyaashooduna waxba ma arkaan, waxna ma oga, saas darteed way ceeboobi doonaan.
All those who make idols are foolish, and the idols that they (think highly of/greatly respect) are worthless. And the people who worship those idols— [it is as though] they are blind, and they will be ashamed [for having worshiped those idols].
10 Bal yaa wax ilaah ah sameeyey, amase shubay sanam xardhan oo aan waxba tarayn?
Only [foolish people] [RHQ] would make idols in a mold, idols that would never help them at all.
11 Bal eega, kuwa daba gala oo dhammu way wada ceeboobi doonaan, saanacyadu waa binu-aadmi uun. Bal dhammaantood ha isu soo wada urureen, oo ha soo istaageen, way cabsan doonaan, oo kulligoodna way wada ceeboobi doonaan.
Those who make idols and those who worship them will be ashamed. Those who make idols are only human beings, [but they claim that they are making gods]! They should stand in front of God in a court, and [when they hear what he says], they will be terrified, and they will all be disgraced.
12 Birtumuhu faas buu sameeyaa oo wuxuu ku shaqeeyaa dhuxul, oo dubbayaal buu ku qabanqaabiyaa, oo gacantiisa xoogga badan ayuu kaga shaqeeyaa; wuu gaajoodaa, wuuna taag gabaa, biyo ma cabbo, wuuna daalaa.
Metalworkers stand in front of hot coals in order to make idols. They pound them strongly with hammers, and shape them. Because they work very hard, they become hungry and weak; they become very thirsty and feel exhausted.
13 Nijaarku xadhig wax lagu qiyaaso buu fidiyaa, oo wax cas buu ku calaamadeeyaa, oo faaraduu ku simaa, oo goobeeyena wuu ku qiyaasaa, oo wuxuu u ekaysiiyaa binu-aadmiga ekaantiis iyo si waafaqsan dadka quruxdiisa inuu guriga joogo.
Then a woodcarver takes a big block/piece of wood and he measures it; then he marks it to show where he will cut it. He uses a chisel and other tools to carve it to resemble a human. He causes it to become a very beautiful [idol], and then he puts it in a shrine.
14 Wuxuu soo goostaa geedo kedar ah, oo wuxuu soo qaataa geed tirsah ah iyo geed alloon ah, oo mid ka mid ah dhirta duudda ayuu xoogaystaa, oo wuxuu beertaa geed oren ah oo roobkuna waa quudiyaa.
[Before he carves an idol from that block of wood], he has cut down a cedar tree, or he has selected a cypress tree or an oak tree and allowed it to grow tall in the forest. Or, he has planted a pine/evergreen tree and the rain has watered it [and caused it to grow tall].
15 Dabadeedna wuxuu noqon doonaa wax dad shito, waayo, wax buu ka qaadaa, oo wuu kulaalaa, wuuna shitaa oo kibis buu ku dubtaa, oo weliba wax ilaah ah buu ka samaystaa, wuuna u sujuudaa.
[And after he uses part of the tree to make an idol], he uses the other part of the tree to make a fire, either to warm himself or to bake bread. But he uses [part of the same tree] to make for himself an idol to worship! He makes an idol and then he bows down to worship it.
16 Oo in buu dabka ku gubaa, oo inna hilib buu ku bislaystaa, isagoo ku sosha oo ka dherga, wuuna kulaalaa oo wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Hadda waan kululahay, oo dabkii waan arkay.
He burns part of the wood of the tree to cook his meat and eats the meat and his stomach becomes full, and he burns part of the wood to warm his body, and he says, “I feel warm while I am watching the flames in the fire.”
17 Oo intii ka hadhana wuxuu ka samaystaa wax ilaah ah oo ah xataa sanamkiisa xardhan, oo wuu u sujuudaa oo caabudaa, wuuna baryaa, oo wuxuu yidhaahdaa, I samatabbixi, waayo, adigu waxaad tahay ilaahayga.
Then he takes the rest of the wood and makes an idol which is his god. He bows down to it and worships it, and prays to it and says, “You are my god, so save me!”
18 Iyagu ma ay aqoon, mana ay garanayn, waayo, indhahoodii waa la xidhay si ayan waxba u arkin, oo qalbigoodiina si ayan waxba u garan.
Those people are very stupid and ignorant [SAR]. [It is as though] they are blind and cannot see, and their minds are closed and they cannot think well.
19 Oo midkoodna kama fikiro, oo aqoon iyo waxgarasho midna laguma arko, inuu yidhaahdo, Qoriga qaarkiis baan dab ku gubay, oo duxushiisaan kibis ku dubtay, oo hilib baan ku soshay, waanan cunay, haddaba ma intii ka hadhay baan karaahiyo ka samaystaa? Ma waxaan u sujuudaa geed jiriddiis?
They do not think about what they are doing, that they are taking a block of wood and burning half of it to warm themselves and using some of the rest to bake bread and roast some meat! [They do not say to themselves], “It is stupid [RHQ] to take the rest of the wood to make a detestable idol! It does not make sense to bow down to a block of wood!”
20 Isagu wuxuu cunaa dambas, oo qalbigiisa la khiyaaneeyey ayaa isaga leexiyey, oo naftiisana ma uu samatabbixin karo, mana uu odhan karo, Sow gacantayda midig beenu kuma jirto?
They are very stupid to [worship something that if you burn it, it becomes] ashes! They trust in something that cannot save them; they do not admit, “In my hand I hold something that is not really a god! [RHQ]”
21 Reer Yacquubow, waxyaalahan xusuusta, waayo, reer Israa'iilow, waxaad tihiin addoommadayda. Anigaa idin abuuray, oo waxaad tihiin addoommadayda. Israa'iilow, idin illoobi maayo.
[Yahweh says, “You descendants of] [MTY] Jacob, you people of Israel who should be serving me, I created you, and I will not forget you.
22 Sidii daruur qaro weyn ayaan xadgudubyadiinnii u tirtiray, oo sidii daruur oo kale ayaan dembiyadiinniina u tirtiray. Haddaba ii soo noqda, waayo, waan idin soo furtay.
I have gotten rid of your sins like [SIM] [the wind blows away] a cloud. [It is as though] your transgressions were a morning mist [SIM] that I have blown away. Return to me because I have rescued you.”
23 Samooyinkow, heesa, waayo, Rabbigaa sameeyey. Dhulka meelaha ugu hooseeyow, qayliya. Buuraha, iyo duudda, iyo geed kasta oo ku dhex yaallow, hees ku dhufta, waayo, Rabbigu reer Yacquub wuu soo furtay oo wuxuu isku dhex weynayn doonaa reer binu Israa'iil.
[The sun and moon and stars] in the sky should sing, and all the things that are beneath the ground should shout joyfully! All the mountains and forests, and all you trees, should sing loudly, because Yahweh has rescued [the descendants of] [MTY] Jacob; [the people of] Israel will praise/honor him.
24 Rabbiga ah Samatabbixiyihiinna iyo kii tan iyo markaad uurka ku jirteen idin samaynayay wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan ahay Rabbiga wax kasta sameeya, oo keligiis samooyinka kala bixiya, oo keligiisna dhulka kala fidiya.
Yahweh, who saved you and created you, says this: “I am Yahweh, the one who created everything. I am the only one who stretched out the sky. There was [RHQ] no one who (was with/helped) me when I created the earth.
25 Anigu waxaan ahay kan calaamadaha beenlowyada wax aan waxba ahayn ka dhiga, oo kuwa wax falana nacasyo ka dhiga, oo kuwa caqliga lehna dib u celiya, oo aqoontoodana nacasnimo ka dhiga,
I show that the false prophets are liars, and I show that those who perform rituals to predict the future are fools. Some people who [falsely think that they] are [IRO] wise [say that they] know a lot, but I show that they are foolish.
26 kan erayga addoonkiisa xaqiijiya, oo talada wargeeyayaashiisa oofiya, kan Yeruusaalem ka leh, Iyada waa la dhex degi doonaa, oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudahna ka leh, Iyaga waa la dhisi doonaa, oo burburkoodana waan sara kicin doonaa.
But I always cause to happen what my prophets predict [DOU]. [I tell them to] say to [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem, ‘[Some day] people will live here again.’ [And I tell them to] say to [the people in other] towns in Judah [that Yahweh says], ‘Your towns will be rebuilt; I will cause the places that are only ruins to be rebuilt.’
27 Waxaan ahay kan moolka ku yidhaahda, Engeg noqo, oo anna webiyaashaada waan qallajin doonaa,
When I say to the rivers, ‘Dry up!’, they will become dry.
28 kan Boqor Kuuros ka leh, Isagu waa adhijirkayga, oo wuxuu oofin doonaa waxaan jeclahay oo dhan, oo xataa Yeruusaalemna ka leh, Iyada waa la dhisi doonaa, oo macbudkana ku leh, Aasaaskaaga waa la dhigi doonaa.
When I say about King Cyrus, ‘He will [take care of my people like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep], he will do what I want him to do,’ he will say about Jerusalem, ‘We must rebuild it!’, and he will also say, ‘We must rebuild the temple!’”
