Ishacyaah 55
1 Hoy, kuwiinna oomman oo dhammow, xagga biyaha kaalaya, xataa kii aan lacag haysanow, kaalaya, wax iibsada, oo wax cuna, kaalaya oo khamri iyo caano lacagla'aan iyo iibla'aan ku qaata.
“All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
2 Haddaba bal maxaad lacag ugu bixisaan wax aan cunto ahayn? Oo wixii aad ku hawshooteenna maxaad ugu bixisaan wax aan idin dherjinayn? Bal aad ii maqla, oo waxa wanaagsan cuna, oo naftiinnuna ha iskaga istareexdo barwaaqo miidhan.
[What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
3 Dhegihiinna soo dhiga, oo ii kaalaya, i maqla oo naftiinnuna way noolaan doontaa, oo anna waxaan idinla dhigan doonaa axdi weligiis ah, kaasoo ah waxyaalahii naxariista lahaa oo la hubo ee aan Daa'uud u ballanqaaday.
Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
4 Bal eega, isagaan dadyowga markhaati uga dhigay, oo hoggaamiye iyo taliyena dadyowgaan uga dhigay.
By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
5 Bal eeg, waxaad u yeedhi doontaa quruun aadan aqoon, oo quruun aan ku aqoonna way kuu soo ordi doontaa, waana Rabbiga ah Ilaahaaga iyo kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil aawadiis, waayo, wuu ku sharfay.
And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
6 Rabbiga doondoona inta isaga la heli karo, oo isaga barya intuu dhow yahay.
Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
7 Ka sharka lihi jidkiisa ha ka tago, ninka aan xaqa ahaynuna fikirradiisa, oo Rabbiga ha u soo noqdo, oo isna wuu u naxariisan doonaa, oo ha u yimaado Ilaaheenna, waayo, aad buu u saamixi doonaa.
Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
8 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Fikirradaydu fikirradiinna ma aha, oo jidadkiinnuna jidadkayga ma aha.
I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
9 Maxaa yeelay, sida samooyinku ay dhulka uga sarreeyaan ayay jidadkaygu jidadkiinna uga sarreeyaan, oo ay fikirradayduna fikirradiinna uga sarreeyaan.
Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
10 Waayo, sida roobka iyo barafka cadu ay samada uga da'aan, oo ayan halkaas ugu noqon, laakiinse ay dhulka u waraabiyaan oo ay uga dhigaan inuu soo bixiyo oo magoolo, si uu abuur u siiyo kan wax abuurta, oo uu cunto u siiyo kan wax cuna,
Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
11 sidaas oo kaluu ereygii afkayga ka soo baxaa noqon doonaa, oo isagoo madhan igu soo noqon maayo, laakiinse wuxuu oofinayaa wixii aan ula qasdiyey, waana ku soo liibaanayaa wixii aan u diray.
And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
12 Waayo, farxad baad la bixi doontaan, oo nabad baa laydinku hoggaamin doonaa, oo buuraha iyo kuruhuna hortiinnay hees ku dhufan doonaan, oo dhirta duurka oo dhammuna way sacbin doonaan.
You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
13 Qodaxda meesheedii waxaa ka soo bixi doona geed beroosh ah, oo maraboobta meesheediina waxaa ka soo bixi doona geed hadaas ah, oo taasu waxay Rabbiga u ahaan doontaa magac iyo calaamad weligeed sii waaraysa oo aan la baabbi'in doonin.
Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
