Ishacyaah 52
1 Siyoonay, toos oo toos, oo xooggaaga xidho. Yeruusaalemay, magaalada quduuska ahay, dharkaaga quruxda badan xidho, waayo, hadda ka dib kuwa buuryoqab ah iyo kuwa nijaas ah toona kuma ay soo geli doonaan.
[You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
2 Yeruusaalemay, boodhka iska jaf oo ka kac, oo fadhiiso, magaalada Siyoon oo maxbuusad ahayday, iska fur waxa qoorta lagaaga xidhay.
People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
3 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinka waxaa laydinku iibiyey wax aan waxba ahayn, oo haddana lacagla'aan baa laydinku soo furan doonaa.
because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
4 Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkaygii waa horay Masar ku dhaadheceen inay halkaas joogaan, oo kii reer Ashuurna sababla'aan buu u dulmay.
Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
5 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal maxaa halkan ii jira marka dadkayga waxaan waxba ahayn lagu kaxaystay? Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa iyaga u taliyaa way qayliyaan, oo magacaygana had iyo goor maalin kastaba waa la caayaa.
But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
6 Sidaas daraaddeed dadkaygu magacaygay aqoonsan doonaan, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxay maalintaas garan doonaan inaan anigu ahay kan hadla, bal eega, waa i kane.
But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
7 Buuraha dushooda ku qurux badanaa cagaha kan warka wanaagsan keena, oo nabadda naadiya, oo waxyaalaha wanaagsan warka wanaagsan ka keena, oo badbaadada naadiya, oo Siyoon ku yidhaahda, Ilaahaagii baa boqornimada haysta.
It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
8 Waa ka codka waardiyayaashaadu! Codkooday kor u qaadayaan, oo dhammaantood way wada heesayaan, waayo, indhahooday ku arki doonaan markii Rabbigu Siyoon ku soo noqonayo.
The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
9 Yeruusaalem meelaheeda baabba'ayow, dhammaantiin farxa, oo kulligiin hees ku dhufta, waayo, Rabbigu dadkiisii wuu qalbi qaboojiyey, oo Yeruusaalemna wuu soo furtay.
Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
10 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu gacantiisii quduuska ahayd bayaan ugu muujiyey quruumaha oo dhan hortooda, oo dhulka darafyadiisa oo dhammuna waxay wada arki doonaan badbaadinta Ilaaheenna.
Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
11 Kuwiinna weelasha Rabbiga sidow, taga, oo taga, oo halkaas ka soo baxa, ha taabanina wax aan daahir ahayn, oo iyada ka dhex baxa, oo daahir ahaada.
So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
12 Waayo, degdeg kuma bixi doontaan oo qixidna kuma carari doontaan, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga ayaa idin hor kici doona, oo Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayaa idin daba socon doona.
But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
13 Bal eega, addoonkaygu caqli buu yeelan doonaa, oo waa la sarraysiin doonaa, oo kor baa loo kicin doonaa, wuxuuna noqon doonaa mid aad u sarreeya.
[Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
14 Waxaa jaahiisii loo xumeeyey si ka daran sida nin kale loo xumeeyo, suuraddiisiina waxaa loo xumeeyey si ka daran sida binu-aadmiga loo xumeeyo oo kale, haddaba sidii kuwa badanu ula yaabi jireen oo kale,
But many people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a human.
15 ayuu isaguna quruumo badan uga yaabin doonaa, oo boqorraduna waxay afkooda u xidhi doonaan isaga aawadiis, waayo, waxay arki doonaan wax aan weligood loo sheegin, oo waxay ka fiirsan doonaan wax ayan weligood maqal.
But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
