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.

Hear ye this—O house of Jacob, Ye who call yourselves by the name of Israel, Yea from the waters of Judah, came they forth, —Who swear by the name of Yahweh, And, by the God of Israel, call to remembrance—Not in truth, nor in righteousness;

2 Waayo, iyagu waxay isugu yeedhaan kuwii magaalada quduuska ah, oo waxay isku halleeyaan Ilaaha Israa'iil, oo magiciisa la yidhaahdo Rabbiga ciidammada.

For of the holy city, do they call themselves, And on the God of Israel, do they stay themselves, —Yahweh of hosts, is his name.

3 Tan iyo waagii hore ayaan waxyaalihii hore sii sheegayay. Afkaygay ka soo baxeen, waanan muujiyey. Dhaqsaan u sameeyey, wayna ahaadeen.

Things in advance, of old, I declared, Yea out of mine own mouth, came they forth, that I might let them be known, —Suddenly, I wrought and they came to pass.

4 Waan ogaa inaad madax adag tihiin, iyo in qoortiinnu seed bir ah tahay, iyo in jaahiinnu naxaas yahay,

Because I knew that—Obstinate, thou wast, —And, a sinew of iron, was thy neck, And thy brow, brazen,

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.

therefore told I thee—in time past, Ere yet it came, I let thee hear, —Lest thou shouldest say Mine idol wrought them, Yea, my carved image and my molten image, commanded them!

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.

Thou hast heard—see it whole, And will, ye, not tell? I have let thee hear new things—from the present time, Even secrets which ye knew not.

7 Iyaga haddaa la uumay, ma aad maqlin, waaba intaasoo aad tidhaahdaan. War mar horeba waannu niqiin.

Now, are they created, and not in time past, And, before to-day, thou hadst not heard of them, —Lest thou shouldest say, Lo! I knew them!

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.

Nay! thou hadst not heard, Nay! thou hadst not known, Nay! in time past, thine ear, was not opened, —For I knew that thou, wouldst be treacherous, Yea a transgressor from birth, hast thou been called.

9 Magacayga aawadiis ayaan idiinka joogsan doonaa ammaantayda daraaddeed.

For the sake of mine own Name, will I defer mine anger, And for my praise, will I restrain myself towards thee, —So as not to cut thee off.

10 Bal eega, waan idin safeeyey, laakiinse sida lacagta ma aha. Oo waxaan idinku tijaabiyey foornadii dhibaatada.

Lo! I have refined thee, but not as silver, —I have tested thee, in a smelting-pot of affliction.

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!

For mine own sake—for mine own sake, will I effectually work For how should it be profaned? And, my glory—to another, will I not give.

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.

Hearken unto me O Jacob, And Israel, my called one, —I, am, the Same I, the first, yea, I, the last:

13 Gacantayda ayaa aasaaska dhulka dhigtay, oo samooyinkana waxaa kala fidisay midigtayda, oo markaan u yeedho ayay dhammaantood soo wada istaagaan.

Surely, mine own hand, founded the earth, And, my right hand, stretched out the heavens, —While I was calling unto them, they stood forth, at once

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.

Assemble yourselves—all of you and hear, Who among them, hath told these things? he whom Yahweh loveth, will execute—His pleasure, on Babylon, And his stroke on the Chaldeans.

15 Aniga qudhayda ayaa sidaas ku hadlay, oo isagaan u yeedhay oo keenay, oo jidkiisuu ku barwaaqoobi doonaa.

I—I, have spoken, Yea I have called him, —I have brought him in, and he shall make prosperous his way.

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.

Draw ye near unto me—hear ye this, Not in advance in secret, have I spoken, From the very time it cometh into being, there, am I, —And, now, My Lord Yahweh hath sent me and his spirit.

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.

Thus saith Yahweh—Thy Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, —I—Yahweh, am thy God, Teaching thee to profit, Guiding thee in the way thou shouldest go.

18 Haddaad amarradayda maqli lahaydeen, nabaddiinnu waxay noqon lahayd sidii webi oo kale, oo xaqnimadiinnuna waxay noqon lahayd sidii hirarka badda oo kale,

Oh! that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments, —Then had been, like a river, thy prosperity, And, thy righteousness, 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.

Then had been, like the sand, thy seed, And, the offspring of thy body, like the grains thereof, —Neither cut off nor destroyed had been his name from 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.

Come ye forth out of Babylon, Flee from among the Chaldeans, With triumphant voice, tell ye—let this be heard, Let it go forth as far as the end of the earth, —Say ye—Yahweh hath 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.

And they thirsted not, when, through dry places, he led them, Waters out of the rock, caused he to flow out to them, —Yea be cleft a rock and, there gushed out waters:

22 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa sharka ah nabadu uma jirto.

No well-being, saith Yahweh to the lawless,
