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.
[Yahweh says], “You descendants [MTY] of Jacob, who are [also] descendants of Judah and are now called [the people of] Israel, Listen to me! You make solemn promises using my name, Yahweh, and you request that I, the God to whom you Israeli people belong, [will hear you], but you do not do it 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 that you live in the holy city [of Jerusalem], and [you insincerely say] that you are relying on me, the God to whom you [people of] Israel belong, the one who is the Commander of the armies of angels.
3 Tan iyo waagii hore ayaan waxyaalihii hore sii sheegayay. Afkaygay ka soo baxeen, waanan muujiyey. Dhaqsaan u sameeyey, wayna ahaadeen.
Long ago I [MTY] predicted what would happen [DOU]. And then suddenly, I caused those things to happen.
4 Waan ogaa inaad madax adag tihiin, iyo in qoortiinnu seed bir ah tahay, iyo in jaahiinnu naxaas yahay,
I knew that you people are very stubborn; I knew that your heads are [MET] [as hard as] iron or brass [DOU].
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.
That is why I told you those things long ago. Long before they occurred, I announced that they would occur, in order that [when they happened] you could not say ‘Our idols did it; our statue made of wood and our idol made of metal caused them 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 have heard those things [that I predicted] and now you have seen that they have all occurred, so why do you not admit it [RHQ]? Now I will tell you new things, things that you have not known previously.
7 Iyaga haddaa la uumay, ma aad maqlin, waaba intaasoo aad tidhaahdaan. War mar horeba waannu niqiin.
I am causing them to happen now; they are not things I did long ago. So you cannot say, ‘We already knew about those things.’
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.
[I will tell you about] things that you have never heard about or understood before. Even long ago you did not pay attention to me [IDM]. I know that you act very deceitfully/treacherously; you have rebelled against me since you first became a nation [MTY].
9 Magacayga aawadiis ayaan idiinka joogsan doonaa ammaantayda daraaddeed.
But, for my own sake, in order that I will be honored, I will not punish [MTY] you immediately and I will not completely get rid of you.
10 Bal eega, waan idin safeeyey, laakiinse sida lacagta ma aha. Oo waxaan idinku tijaabiyey foornadii dhibaatada.
I have purified you, but not the way [people refine] silver. Instead, I have caused you to suffer very much [to get rid of your impure behavior], like [MET] [people put metal in a very hot] furnace [to get rid of the impurities].
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!
But for my [MTY] own sake I will delay punishing you more; I will do it for my own sake in order that my reputation will not be damaged [RHQ]. I will not allow any [person or any idol] to be honored as I [deserve to be] honored.”
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.
“You descendants [MTY] of Jacob, you people of Israel whom I have chosen, listen to me! [Only] I am God; I am the one who begins everything and who causes everything to end.
13 Gacantayda ayaa aasaaska dhulka dhigtay, oo samooyinkana waxaa kala fidisay midigtayda, oo markaan u yeedho ayay dhammaantood soo wada istaagaan.
I [SYN] am the one who laid the foundation of the earth. I stretched out the sky with my hand. And when I tell [the stars] to appear, they all do what I tell them.
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.
All of you, gather together and listen to me. None of your idols has [RHQ] told this to you: I, Yahweh, have chosen [Cyrus] to assist me, and he will do to Babylon what I want him to do, and his army will get rid of [the army of] Babylonia.
15 Aniga qudhayda ayaa sidaas ku hadlay, oo isagaan u yeedhay oo keenay, oo jidkiisuu ku barwaaqoobi doonaa.
I have said it; I have summoned [Cyrus]. I have appointed him, and he will accomplish everything that he attempts to do.
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 what I say. Long ago [MTY] I told you plainly/clearly [LIT] [what would happen], and when those things occurred, I was [causing them to happen].” And now Yahweh the Lord and his Spirit have sent me [to give you a message].
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 Yahweh, the one who saves you, the Holy God of [us] Israelis, says: “I am Yahweh, your God; I teach you what is important for you [to know]; I direct you and lead you to the roads that you should walk on [MET].
18 Haddaad amarradayda maqli lahaydeen, nabaddiinnu waxay noqon lahayd sidii webi oo kale, oo xaqnimadiinnuna waxay noqon lahayd sidii hirarka badda oo kale,
I wish that you had paid attention to my commands! If you had done that, things would have gone well for you like [SIM] a river that flows gently; you would have been successful again and again, like [SIM] waves that come without ceasing.
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 descendants would have been [as many as] [MET] the grains of sand [on the seashore] [which no one can count]. I would not have needed to get rid of you; the country of [MTY] [Israel] would not have been destroyed.”
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.
[However, now I tell you], leave Babylon! Flee from [being slaves of the people of] Babylonia! Proclaim this message joyfully; send it to the most remote/distant places on the earth: Yahweh freed the people of Israel [from being slaves in Egypt].
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 were not thirsty when he led them through the desert, because he split open the rock and caused water to gush/flow out for them [to drink].
22 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa sharka ah nabadu uma jirto.
“But things will not go well [like that] for wicked people,” says Yahweh.
