Ishacyaah 49
1 Gasiiradahow, bal i maqla, dadkiinna fogow, bal i dhegaysta, Rabbigu wuxuu iiga yeedhay maxalka, oo uurkii hooyaday ayuu iga soo magacaabay.
Listen to me, you people of the islands! Pay attention, you who live far away! The Lord called me before I was born; he gave me my name while I was still in my mother's womb.
2 Oo afkaygana wuxuu ka dhigay sidii seef af badan oo kale, oo hooska gacantiisa ayuu igu qariyey, wuxuuna iga yeelay sidii fallaadh fiiqan oo kale, oo gabooyihiisa ayuu igu xaseeyey.
The words he gave me to speak are like a sharp sword. He has protected me by covering me with his hand. He put me in his quiver like a sharp arrow, keeping me safe there.
3 Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Israa'iilow, waxaad tahay addoonkaygii oo waan kugu ammaanmi doonaa.
He told me, “You are my servant, Israel, and I will reveal my glory through you.”
4 Markaasaan idhi, Wax aan waxba ahayn ayaan u hawshooday, oo xooggaygiina waxaan ku dhammeeyey baabba' iyo wax aan waxba ahayn, laakiinse gartaydu waxay la jirtaa Rabbiga oo abaalgudkayguna wuxuu la jiraa Ilaahayga.
But I replied, “I've worked for nothing! I've exhausted myself, and for what? Even so, I leave it with the Lord to do what's right, and my reward is with my God.”
5 Oo haddaba Rabbigii uurka hooyaday iga soo sameeyey inaan isaga addoon u noqdo si aan reer Yacquub isaga ugu keeno, oo reer binu Israa'iilna ay isaga ugu soo wada ururaan, wuu ila hadlay, (waayo, anigu Rabbiga hortiisa waan ku sharaf badnahay, Ilaahayguna wuxuu ii noqday xoog iyo itaal)
Now my Lord is going to speak, the one who formed me in the womb as his servant to bring Jacob back to him, to gather Israel to himself. I am honored in the Lord's sight, and my God has given me strength.
6 Oo isagu wuxuu leeyahay, Inaad addoonkaygii ahaatid, oo aad qabiilooyinka reer Yacquub soo kicisid, iyo inaad kuwii reer binu Israa'iil ka hadhay soo celisid waa wax fudud, oo weliba quruumahaan iftiin kaaga dhigi doonaa, si ay badbaadintaydu dhulka darafkiisa u gaadho.
He says, “It's nothing much for you to be my servant to bring back the tribes of Jacob, those people of Israel that I've preserved. I'm also going to make you a light for the foreigners so that my salvation may reach everybody.”
7 Rabbiga ah Bixiyaha reer binu Israa'iil iyo Kooda Quduuska ah wuxuu ku leeyahay kan dadku quudhsado oo quruumuhu karhaan, oo ah taliyayaal addoonkood, Boqorraa arki doona oo sarajoogsan doona, oo weliba amiirraa sujuudi doona, waana Rabbiga aaminka ah, oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil, oo ku doortay aawadiis.
This is what the Lord says, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to the one who was despised and detested by the nation, to the one who is the servant of rulers: Kings will see you and stand up, and princes will bow down to you, because the Lord, who is trustworthy, the Holy One of Israel, has chosen you.
8 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Wakhti la aqbalay ayaan kuu jawaabay, oo maalintii badbaadintana waan ku caawiyey, waanan ku ilaalin doonaa, oo axdi ahaan baan dadka kuu siin doonaa inaad dhulka hagaajisid oo aad ka yeeshid in ay dhaxlaan meelihii hantida ahaa ee baabba'ay,
This is what the Lord says: I will answer you at the proper time; I will help you on the day of salvation. I will take care of you, and I will give you to the people as my agreement with them, to restore the land and to reassign the parts that have been abandoned.
9 iyo inaad kuwa xidhan ku tidhaahdid, Soo baxa, oo kuwa gudcurka ku jirana aad ku tidhaahdid, Ismuujiya. Waxay daaqi doonaan jidadka, oo daaqsintoodana waxay ka heli doonaan meelaha sare oo dhan.
Tell the prisoners, “Come out!” Tell those living in darkness, “Come into the light!” Like sheep they will feed along the roads and in the pastures on hills that once were barren.
10 Ma ay gaajoon doonaan, mana ay harraadi doonaan, oo kulaylka iyo qorraxdu kuma ay dhici doonaan, waayo, ka iyaga u naxariista ayaa hor kici doona, oo wuxuu ku hoggaamin doonaa ilo biya ah agtood.
They won't be hungry or thirsty, and they won't get hot in the sun, for the one who loves them will lead them to springs, and guide them to water.
11 Oo buurahayga oo dhan waxaan ka dhigi doonaa waddo, oo jidadkayga weynna kor baa loo wada qaadi doonaa.
I will turn all my mountains into a road; my highways will be really high!
12 Bal eega, kuwanu waxay ka iman doonaan meel fog, oo bal ogaada, kuwanu waxay ka iman doonaan xagga woqooyi iyo xagga galbeed, oo kuwanuna waxay ka iman doonaan dalka reer Siiniim.
Look at these people coming from far away! Look at these people coming from the north, and from the west, and from Upper Egypt.
13 Samooyinkow, heesa, oo dhulkow, faraxsanow, buurahow, hees ku dhufta, waayo, Rabbigu dadkiisii wuu qalbi qaboojiyey, oo kuwiisa dhibaataysanna wuu u naxariisan doonaa.
Heavens, shout for joy! Earth, celebrate! Mountains, sing out in happiness! The Lord has come to care for his people, and he will treat his suffering people kindly.
14 Laakiinse Siyoon waxay tidhi, Rabbigu waa iga tegey, oo Sayidku waa i illoobay.
But Zion said, “The Lord has given up on me; the Lord has forgotten about me.”
15 Miyaa naagu ilmeheeda nuuga illoobi kartaa inayan wiilkii uurkeeda ka soo go'ay u naxariisan? Mindhaa kuwaasu way illoobi karaan, aniguse innaba ku illoobi maayo.
Really? Can a mother forget her nursing baby? Can she forget to be kind to the child she carried in her womb? Even if she could forget, I will never forget you!
16 Bal eeg, waxaan kugu calaamadeeyey calaacalaha gacmahayga, oo derbiyadaaduna had iyo goorba way i hor yaalliin.
Look at your names I've written on the palms of my hands! I'm always thinking about your walls.
17 Carruurtaadu way soo degdegayaan, oo kuwii ku dumiyey iyo kuwii cidlada kaa dhigayba way kaa bixi doonaan.
Soon your children will come running back. Your destroyers, those that devastated your land, will be gone.
18 Bal indhahaaga kor u qaad oo hareerahaaga fiiri. Kuwaas oo dhammu way isa soo wada urursanayaan oo adigay kuu imanayaan. Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartay, hubaal kuwaas oo dhan waxaad u xidhan doontaa sida sharraxaad oo kale, oo waxaad u huwan doontaa sida aroosaddu wax u huwato oo kale.
Take a look around. See all your children gathering and coming back to you. As I live, declares the Lord, you will wear them all as jewelry, proudly putting them on like a bride.
19 Waayo, baabba'aagii iyo meelahaagii cidloobay iyo dalkaagii burburayba haatan cidhiidhi bay ku noqon doonaan kuwa ku degaya, oo kuwii ku liqayna way kaa fogaan doonaan.
Your ruined towns and abandoned places and devastated lands will be crowded with people, while those who took over your country will be long gone.
20 Carruurta aad dhashay markaad gablantay dabadeed ayaa kugu odhan doonta adigoo maqlaya, Meeshu aad bay noogu cidhiidhisan tahay, haddaba bal meel aannu degno noo bannee.
The children born during your time of mourning in exile will say, “This place is too crowded for me! Make room so I have a place to live!”
21 Markaasaad qalbigaaga iska odhan doontaa, Bal yaa kuwan ii dhalay? Maxaa yeelay, carruurtaydii waan ka gablamay, oo waxaan ahay mid cidlowday, oo la masaafuriyey, oo wareegta. Oo bal yaase kuwan ii koriyey? Waayo, anoo keligay ah ayaa layga tegey, ee haddaba kuwanu xaggee bay joogeen?
Then you will say to yourself, “Who gave birth to all these children for me? My children were killed and I was unable to have more; I was exiled and thrown aside—so who brought these children up? Look, I was abandoned, so where did they come from?”
22 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, quruumahaan u gacan haadin doonaa, oo calankayga dadyowgaan u taagi doonaa, oo wiilashaada laabtooday ku keeni doonaan, oo gabdhahaagana garbahooday ku soo qaadi doonaan.
This is what the Lord God says, Watch as I give the signal to the nations, as I raise my flag to let everyone know. They will bring them back, carrying your sons in their arms, and lifting your daughters onto their shoulders.
23 Oo boqorro waxay kuu noqon doonaan aabbayaal carruurtaada xannaaneeya, oo boqoradahoodu waxay kuu noqon doonaan hooyooyin carruurtaada nuujiya. Oo intay jaahooda dhulka saaraan ayay kuu sujuudi doonaan, oo waxay leefleefi doonaan ciidda cagahaaga. Markaasaad ogaan doontaa inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay, oo kuwii i sugaa marnaba ma ay ceeboobi doonaan.
Kings will be your child-minders; queens will be your nurses. They will bow low before you, and lick the dust from your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord, and that those who put their trust in me will never be ashamed.
24 Mid xoog badanu wuxuu qabsado miyaa laga qaadaa? Miyaase la samatabbixiyaa maxaabbiistii kan xaqa ah?
Can loot be taken from a warrior? Can prisoners be rescued from a dictator?
25 Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Xataa kii xoog badan maxaabbiistiisa waa laga qaadi doonaa, oo kan laga cabsado wuxuu qabsadona waa laga samatabbixin doonaa, waayo, kii kula dirira waan la diriri doonaa, oo carruurtaadana waan badbaadin doonaa.
But this is what the Lord says: Even the prisoners of warriors will be won back; even loot will be recovered from a dictator. I will fight with your enemies, and I will rescue your children.
26 Oo kuwii ku dulmana waxaan ku quudin doonaa hilibka jidhkooda, oo dhiiggoodana waxay ugu sakhraami doonaan sida khamri macaan, oo binu-aadmiga oo dhammuna waxay wada ogaan doonaan inaan anigoo Rabbiga ahu ahay Badbaadiyahaaga, iyo Bixiyahaaga, iyo Kan xoogga badan ee reer Yacquub.
I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh and drink their own blood like wine. Then everyone will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel.
