Ishacyaah 46
1 Beel baa foororsada, Nebona wuu dhacaa, sanamyadoodu waxay kor saarnaadaan xayawaanka iyo lo'da. Waxyaalihii aad sidan jirteen waxaa laga dhigay rar la saaray neefkii daallanaa.
Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.
2 Way foororsadaan, oo dhammaantood way wada dhacaan, iyagu rarka ma ay samatabbixin karaan, laakiinse xataa iyaga qudhooda maxaabbiisahaan baa loo kaxaystaa.
They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.
3 Reer Yacquub oo ah kuwa reer binu Israa'iil ka hadhay oo dhammow, kuwiinna aan siday tan iyo wakhtigii aad caloosha ku jirteen oo aan xambaaray tan iyo wakhtigii aad uurka ka soo baxdeen, i maqla.
Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:
4 Tan iyo cimri dheer isagii baan ahay, oo tan iyo timo cirroobay waan idin xambaarayaa. Anigaa sameeyey, waanan sidi doonaa, waan xambaari doonaa, waanan samatabbixin doonaa.
Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.
5 Bal yaad ii ekaysiinaysaan oo ila simaysaan, oo yaad igu masaalaysaan inaannu isku mid ahaanno?
Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?
6 Kuwa dahab kolayga ka soo qubaa, oo lacagna kafadaha ku miisaamaa waxay soo kiraystaan dahabtume, oo isna wax ilaah ah buu ka dhigaa, markaasay u sujuudaan oo caabudaan.
As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.
7 Garbahooday ku qaadaan, oo way xambaaraan, oo meeshiisay qotomiyaan. Isna wuu iska taagnaadaa, oo meeshiisana innaba kama dhaqaaqo. Oo dadku way u qayshan doonaa, laakiinse isagu uma uu jawaabi karo, oo dhibkoodana kama uu badbaadin karo.
They put him on their backs, and take him up, and put him in his fixed place, from which he may not be moved; if a man gives a cry for help to him, he is unable to give an answer, or get him out of his trouble.
8 Kuwiinna xadgudbayow, bal waxan soo xusuusta, oo aad u fiirsada, bal mar kale soo garwaaqsada.
Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners.
9 Bal waxyaalihii hore oo qadiimka ahaa soo xusuusta, waayo, anigaa Ilaah ah, mid kalena ma jiro, anigaa Ilaah ah, oo mid ila mid ahuna ma jiro.
Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;
10 Bilowga waxaan sheegaa ugudambaysta, oo wakhtiga hore waxaan sii sheegaa waxyaalo aan weli la samayn, anigoo leh, Taladaydu way hagaagi doontaa, oo waxaan jeclahay oo dhanna waan wada samayn doonaa.
Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;
11 Waxaan xagga bari uga yeedhayaa haad aad u gaajaysan oo ah ninka taladayda oofinaya oo aan waddan fog uga yeedhayo. Waan ku hadlay, oo weliba waan oofin doonaa. Waan u qasdiyey, oo weliba waan samayn doonaa.
Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country; I have said it, and I will give effect to it; the thing designed by me will certainly be done.
12 Kuwiinna qalbiga qallafsan oo xaqnimada ka fogow, bal i maqla!
Give ear to me, you feeble-hearted, who have no faith in my righteousness:
13 Xaqnimadaydii waan soo dhowaynayaa, oo iyana ma ay fogaan doonto, oo badbaadintayduna ma ay raagi doonto. Reer binu Israa'iil oo sharaftayda ah daraaddood ayaan badbaadin Siyoon u dhex dhigi doonaa.
My righteousness is near, it is not far off; salvation will come quickly; and I will make Zion free, and give Israel my glory.
