Ishacyaah 49

1 Gasiiradahow, bal i maqla, dadkiinna fogow, bal i dhegaysta, Rabbigu wuxuu iiga yeedhay maxalka, oo uurkii hooyaday ayuu iga soo magacaabay.

Hearken, O isles, unto me; and listen, ye people, from afar: The Lord hath called me from my birth; from my mother's womb hath he made mention of my name.

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.

And he hath rendered my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hidden me: and he hath rendered me as a polished arrow; in his quiver hath he concealed me;

3 Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Israa'iilow, waxaad tahay addoonkaygii oo waan kugu ammaanmi doonaa.

And said unto me, My servant art thou, O Israel, thou on whom I will be glorified.

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 had indeed said, For no purpose have I labored, for naught and vanity have I spent my strength; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and the recompense of my work 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)

And now hath said the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, that Israel may be gathered unto him, that I should be honored in the eyes of the Lord, while my God was my 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.

And he said, It is too light a thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved of Israel! but I will [also] appoint thee for a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach as far as the end of the earth.

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.

Thus hath said the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him who is despised by men, to him who is abhorred by nations, to the servant of rulers, Kings shall see it and rise up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, for the sake of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who hath made choice of thee.

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,

Thus hath said the Lord, In the time of favor have I answered thee, and on the day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and I will appoint thee as a people of my covenant to raise up the land, to divide out desolate heritages;

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.

When I say to the prisoners, Go forth; to those that are in darkness, Show yourselves. On the roads shall they feed, and on all mountain-peaks shall be their pasture.

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 shall not be hungry nor thirsty, and neither heat nor sun shall smite them; for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, and by springs of water will he guide them.

11 Oo buurahayga oo dhan waxaan ka dhigi doonaa waddo, oo jidadkayga weynna kor baa loo wada qaadi doonaa.

And I will change all my mountains into a road, and my highways shall be lifted up.

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.

Behold, these shall come from afar; and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

13 Samooyinkow, heesa, oo dhulkow, faraxsanow, buurahow, hees ku dhufta, waayo, Rabbigu dadkiisii wuu qalbi qaboojiyey, oo kuwiisa dhibaataysanna wuu u naxariisan doonaa.

Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth, O mountains, into song; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and upon his oppressed will he have mercy.

14 Laakiinse Siyoon waxay tidhi, Rabbigu waa iga tegey, oo Sayidku waa i illoobay.

Yet Zion said, the Eternal hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten 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.

Can a woman forget her sucking child, not to have mercy on the son of her body? yea, should these even forget, yet would I not forget thee.

16 Bal eeg, waxaan kugu calaamadeeyey calaacalaha gacmahayga, oo derbiyadaaduna had iyo goorba way i hor yaalliin.

Behold, upon the palms of my hands have I engraved thee; thy walls are continually before me.

17 Carruurtaadu way soo degdegayaan, oo kuwii ku dumiyey iyo kuwii cidlada kaa dhigayba way kaa bixi doonaan.

Thy children come in haste; thy destroyers and they that laid thee waste shall go away from thee.

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.

Lift up thy eyes round about, and see; they all are assembled together, they come to thee: as I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thyself with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as 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.

For thy ruins and thy desolate places, and thy wasted land, —yea, now shall it be too narrow for thee by reason of the inhabitants, and thy destroyers shall be far away.

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.

Yet again will say before thy ears the children of whom thou wast deprived, The place is too narrow for me; make room for me that I may dwell.

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?

And thou wilt say in thy heart, Who hath born me these, seeing I was bereft of my children, and was solitary, an exile, and outcast? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left entirely alone; these, where have they been?

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.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will lift up to the nations my hand, and to the people will I raise up high my standard; and they shall bring thy sons in [their] arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon 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.

And kings shall be thy nursing-fathers, and their princesses thy nursing-mothers; with the face toward the earth shall they bow down to thee, and the dust of thy feet shall they lick up: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, who will not suffer those who hope in me to be ashamed.

24 Mid xoog badanu wuxuu qabsado miyaa laga qaadaa? Miyaase la samatabbixiyaa maxaabbiistii kan xaqa ah?

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or shall the captive of the victor escape?

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.

For thus hath said the Lord, Also the captive of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the powerful shall escape; and with those who contend against thee will I contend, and thy children will I indeed save.

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.

And I will feed thy oppressors with their own flesh; and as with new wine shall they be made drunken with their own blood: and all flesh shall know that I the Eternal am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer the Mighty One of Jacob.
