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 bows down, Nebo bends low; their idols are carried off on beasts of burden, a heavy weight for the tired animals.
2 Way foororsadaan, oo dhammaantood way wada dhacaan, iyagu rarka ma ay samatabbixin karaan, laakiinse xataa iyaga qudhooda maxaabbiisahaan baa loo kaxaystaa.
They bend low and bow down together—they can't help rescue their idols, and they themselves go off into captivity.
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.
Listen to me, descendants of Jacob, all those who are left of the people of Israel. I have looked after you since you were born, carrying you from birth.
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're old, I will still be your God; even when your hair turns white, I will still support you. I made you, I will carry you, I will support you, and I will save you.
5 Bal yaad ii ekaysiinaysaan oo ila simaysaan, oo yaad igu masaalaysaan inaannu isku mid ahaanno?
Who will you liken me to? Who will you reckon to be my equal? Who will you compare me with, as if we were alike?
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.
There are those who extravagantly tip out gold from their bags, and weigh out silver on the scales, and hire a goldsmith to make them a god they can bow down to and 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 lift the idol onto their shoulders, carry it along, and then put it in place. It stays there and doesn't move. Even when people cry out to it for help, it doesn't answer—it can't save them from their troubles.
8 Kuwiinna xadgudbayow, bal waxan soo xusuusta, oo aad u fiirsada, bal mar kale soo garwaaqsada.
Remember this, and act like men! Think about it, you rebels!
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.
Remember what I've done for you since the beginning, for I am God, and there is no God apart from me. I am God, and there is none 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.
I am the one who can predict what will happen in the end from the very beginning, declaring from ancient times what the future will bring. Whatever I plan will take place; I will accomplish everything I wish.
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.
I'm calling a bird of prey from the east, a man from a distant country who will carry out my plan. I have spoken, and I will make sure it happens. I have made my plan, and I will carry it out.
12 Kuwiinna qalbiga qallafsan oo xaqnimada ka fogow, bal i maqla!
Listen to me, you stubborn people, who are such a long way from doing what's right!
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.
Very shortly I am going to make things right—it won't be long. I will come with my salvation without delay—I will save Zion to demonstrate my glory to Israel.
