Ishacyaah 48
1 Reer Yacquubka magaca Israa'iil loogu yeedho, oo biyihii Yahuudah ka soo baxay, oo magaca Rabbiga ku dhaarta, oo soo magacaaba Ilaaha Israa'iil, iyagoo aan run iyo xaqnimo toona ku xusuusanaynow, bal waxan maqla.
Listen to this, descendants of Jacob, called by the name of Israel, and who come from the lineage of Judah. Listen, you people who swear by the name of the Lord, or who invoke the God of Israel, but not truly or sincerely.
2 Waayo, iyagu waxay isugu yeedhaan kuwii magaalada quduuska ah, oo waxay isku halleeyaan Ilaaha Israa'iil, oo magiciisa la yidhaahdo Rabbiga ciidammada.
You say you're from the “Holy City,” and claim you're trusting in the God of Israel, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
3 Tan iyo waagii hore ayaan waxyaalihii hore sii sheegayay. Afkaygay ka soo baxeen, waanan muujiyey. Dhaqsaan u sameeyey, wayna ahaadeen.
I predicted long ago what was going to happen—I said it and let people know. Then suddenly I decided to act, and it all came true.
4 Waan ogaa inaad madax adag tihiin, iyo in qoortiinnu seed bir ah tahay, iyo in jaahiinnu naxaas yahay,
I know how stubborn you are, with necks as unbending as iron and foreheads as hard as bronze.
5 sidaas darteed tan iyo waa hore ayaan idiin sii sheegayay, oo intayan waxyaalahanu dhicin ayaan idiin sii muujiyey, waaba intaasoo aad tidhaahdaan, Sanamkayagii ayaa waxan sameeyey, oo waxaa amray sanamkayagii xardhanaa iyo sanamkayagii la shubay.
I predicted these things to you long ago, before they happened. I explained them to you so that you couldn't say “My idol did this,” or “My image and my metal god ordered this to happen.”
6 Idinku waad maqasheen, haddaba bal waxan oo dhan arka, idinkuna miyeydaan sii sheegi doonin? Haatan dabadeed waxaan idin tusayaa waxyaalo cusub, kuwaasoo ah waxyaalo qarsoon oo aydaan aqoon.
You've heard all I predicted, and seen it happen. Won't you admit it? Now I'm going to tell you new things, secrets you don't know anything about.
7 Iyaga haddaa la uumay, ma aad maqlin, waaba intaasoo aad tidhaahdaan. War mar horeba waannu niqiin.
These are brand-new, not something from the past. Before today you won't have heard anything about them, so you can't say, “Oh yes, I know about that.”
8 Idinku ma aydaan maqlin, oo ma aydaan aqoon, oo dhegtiinnana waa hore ma furmin, waayo, waan ogaa inaad si khiyaano badan u macaamilooteen, iyo in laydiin bixiyey Xadgudbayaal tan iyo intaad uurka hooyadiin kasoo baxdeen.
No, you've never heard that, and you've never known that! Nobody's told you about that before! I know how deviously you operate—you're called “rebels from birth”!
9 Magacayga aawadiis ayaan idiinka joogsan doonaa ammaantayda daraaddeed.
But because of my nature I am delaying my punishment; and because of my reputation, I'm not going to destroy you.
10 Bal eega, waan idin safeeyey, laakiinse sida lacagta ma aha. Oo waxaan idinku tijaabiyey foornadii dhibaatada.
Look how I've refined you, but not like silver—I chose you in the furnace of trouble.
11 Anigu aawaday, iyo xataa nafsaddayda qudheeda, ayaan waxan u samayn doonaa, waayo, magacayga bal side baa loo nijaasayn karaa? Ammaantayda mid kale siin maayo!
The reason I'm doing this is because of who I am, yes, because of my very nature. I won't let my reputation be damaged—I won't let anyone else have it.
12 Reer Yacquub oo ah Israa'iilkii aan u yeedhayow, bal i maqla, anigu waxaan ahay isagii, waxaan ahay kii ugu horreeyey iyo weliba kan ugu dambeeya.
Listen to me, Jacon, and Israel, the one I called. Only I am God. I am the first, and I am the last.
13 Gacantayda ayaa aasaaska dhulka dhigtay, oo samooyinkana waxaa kala fidisay midigtayda, oo markaan u yeedho ayay dhammaantood soo wada istaagaan.
I laid the foundations of the earth with my own hands; I personally spread out the heavens. When I call the stars, they all take their positions.
14 Kulligiin soo wada shira oo waxan maqla. Bal yaa iyaga ka mid ah oo waxyaalahan sii sheegay? Kan Rabbigu jecel yahay wuxuu Baabuloon ku samayn doonaa siduu doonayo oo gacantiisu waxay kor saarnaan doontaa reer Kaldayiin.
Everyone gather round and listen. Which of your “gods” told you anything like this? The one the Lord loves will carry out the Lord's wishes against Babylon—he will attack the Babylonians.
15 Aniga qudhayda ayaa sidaas ku hadlay, oo isagaan u yeedhay oo keenay, oo jidkiisuu ku barwaaqoobi doonaa.
I myself have spoken. I have called him to do this, and he will be successful in what he does.
16 Warroy ii soo dhowaada oo waxan maqla. Tan iyo bilowgii si qarsoodi ah uma aan hadlin. Tan iyo waagii ay waxanu dheceen, anigu halkaasaan joogay, oo haatanna waxaa i soo diray Sayidka Rabbiga ah iyo Ruuxiisa.
Come close to me, and listen to this. From the very beginning I haven't spoken in secret; I am always there right when it happens. Now the Lord God and his Spirit has sent me to tell you this:
17 Rabbiga ah Bixiyihiinna oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil, wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo idin bara waxa idiin wanaagsan oo idinku hoggaamiya jidkii aad mari lahaydeen.
This is what the Lord says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord your God. I am the one who teaches you what is good for you, who leads you along the way you should go.
18 Haddaad amarradayda maqli lahaydeen, nabaddiinnu waxay noqon lahayd sidii webi oo kale, oo xaqnimadiinnuna waxay noqon lahayd sidii hirarka badda oo kale,
If you had only listened carefully to what I told you! Then your blessings would have flowed like a river, and goodness would have washed over you like the waves of the sea.
19 oo farcankiinnuna wuxuu ahaan lahaa sidii cammuudda oo kale, oo carruurtiinnuna waxay ahaan lahayd sidii ciidda oo kale. Magacooda lama gooyeen oo hortaydana lagama baabbi'iyeen.
Your children, your descendants, would have been like all those grains of sand. They wouldn't have had to be destroyed, wiped out before me.
20 Idinku Baabuloon ka soo baxa, oo reer Kaldayiin ka soo carara, oo waxan hees ku naadiya oo sheega. Waxaad ka sheegtaan xataa dhulka darafkiisa, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Rabbigu wuxuu soo furtay addoommadiisii reer Yacquub.
Leave Babylon! Run away from Babylonia with happy shouts! Let everyone know, telling the whole earth, “The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
21 Oo markuu lamadegaannada dhex marsiiyeyna ma ay oomin, oo dhagaxa ayuu biyo uga soo daayay, oo isagu dhagaxii ayuu kala dillaaciyey, oo markaasay biyihii ka soo butaaceen.
They weren't thirsty when he led them through the desert—he made water come out of the rock for them. He split the rock open and water poured out.
22 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa sharka ah nabadu uma jirto.
The wicked have no peace, says the Lord.
