Ishacyaah 57

1 Kan xaqa ah wuu halligmaa, oo ninna qalbiga ma geliyo. Cibaadalaawayaashana waa la kexeeyey, oo ciduna ma garato in kan xaqa ah belaayada soo socota laga waday.

Righteous people [sometimes] die [when they are still young], and no one is concerned about it. Godly people [sometimes] die because of disasters, and no one understands why. They are taken away in order that they will not endure more calamities,

2 Isagu wuu nabad galaa, oo mid kasta oo qummanaantiisa ku socdana sariirtiisuu ku nastaa.

and now they have peace. They [continually] lived righteously, and [now] they rest [peacefully] in their graves.

3 Laakiinse wiilasha saaxiradda, oo ah farcankii dhillayga iyo dhilladu ay iska dhaleenow, bal halkan u soo dhowaada.

[Yahweh says, ] “But you who practice sorcery, come here! You who worship idols [MET], [listen to me]!

4 Bal yaad ku cayaaraysaan? Oo bal yaad afka ku kala qaadaysaan oo aad carrabka ku soo taagaysaan? Sow idinku ma ihidin carruurtii xadgudubka iyo farcankii beenta,

Do you realize [RHQ] whom you are ridiculing, and whom you are insulting? Do you realize [RHQ] to whom you are sticking out your tongues? [You are insulting me, Yahweh]! You are [RHQ] always rebelling against me and always lying.

5 idinkoo geedaha dhexdooda iyo geed kasta oo cagaar ah hoostiisa iskula kacsada, oo carruurta dooxooyinka iyo meelaha dhagaxyada dillaacsan ka hooseeya ku gowraca.

You are eager to have sex under every [big] green tree where you worship your gods. You kill your children as sacrifices [to your idols] in the dry riverbeds, and [also] offer them [as sacrifices to your idols] in the rocky caves.

6 Qaybtaadu waxay dhex taallaa dhagaxyada siman oo dooxada dhex yaal, oo iyaga qudhoodu waa qaybtaada, waayo, iyagaad qurbaan cabniin ah u daadisay, oo iyagaad qurbaan u bixisay. Haddaba bal miyaan waxyaalahaas raalli ka noqon doonaa?

[You take big] smooth stones from the riverbeds and worship them as your gods. You pour out [wine] to be an offering to them, and you bring grain [to burn for] an offering to them. Do you think that I should not punish you for doing all those things?

7 Waxaad sariirtaadii dul dhigatay buur sarraysa oo dheer, oo halkaasaad sii fuushay inaad allabari ku bixisid aawadeed.

You have sex [EUP] [with cult prostitutes] on every hill and mountain, and you go there to offer sacrifices [to your gods].

8 Oo albaabbada iyo tiirarka dabadooda ayaad xusuustaadii qotonsatay, waayo, waxaad isu qaawisay mid kale oo aan aniga ahayn, waanad sii fuushay, oo sariirtaadiina waad sii ballaadhisay, oo axdi baad iyaga la dhigatay. Sariirtoodana meeshaad ku aragtay waad ku jeceshahay.

You have put (fetishes/pagan symbols) behind your doors and doorposts, and you have deserted me. You have taken off your clothes [EUP] and climbed into your bed and invited more [of your lovers] to come to bed with you. You have paid them to have sex with you, and you have fondled their sexual organs.

9 Saliid baad boqorka ula tagtay, oo cadarkaagiina waad iska sii badisay, ergooyinkaagiina meel fog baad u dirtay, oo ceeb baad ku dhaadhacday tan iyo She'ool. (Sheol h7585)

You have given [fragrant] oil and lots of perfume to your god Molech, and you sent messengers to distant countries [to find other gods to worship]; you [even tried to] send [messengers] to the place of the dead [to search for new gods]. (Sheol h7585)

10 Waxaad ku daashay jidkaaga dhererkiisa, laakiinse ma aad odhan, Rajo ma leh. Waxaad heshay xoog cusub, oo sidaas daraaddeed ma aadan taag qabin.

You became weary because of doing all those things, but you never said, ‘It is useless [for us to do that].’ You found new strength for worshiping idols, so you continued to do that [LIT].

11 Oo bal yaad ka baqday oo aad ka cabsatay, oo aad saas darteed been u sheegtay oo aadan ii soo xusuusan, ama aadan innaba xaalkan qalbigaaga u gelin? Miyaanan wakhti dheer iska aamusin? Oo ma sidaas aawadeed baadan iiga cabsanayn?

Was it because you were afraid [of those idols more than you were afraid of me] that you lied [about what you were doing], and you do not even think about [DOU, RHQ] me? Was it because I did not punish you for a long time that you are not afraid of me [RHQ]?

12 Waxaan sheegi doonaa xaqnimadaada iyo shuqulladaada, iyaguse waxba kuuma tari doonaan.

You [think that] [IRO] the things that you have done are right, but I will tell the truth. It will not help you to do any of those things.

13 Markaad qayshatid, bal guutooyinkaagu ha ku samatabbixiyeen, laakiinse iyaga dabayl baa qaadi doonta, oo neef baa wada kaxayn doonta, laakiinse kii isku kay halleeyaa dalkuu hantiyi doonaa oo wuxuu dhaxli doonaa buurtayda quduuska ah.

When you cry out [for help] to your collection of idols, they will not rescue you. The wind will blow them away [DOU]. But those who trust in me will live in the land [of Israel], and [they will worship me on Zion], my sacred hill.”

14 Oo isna wuxuu odhan doonaa, Dhisa, dhisa, oo jidka hagaajiya, oo jidka dadkayga waxa lagu turunturoodo ka wareejiya.

Yahweh will say, “Prepare [yourselves to receive] me, [like] [MET] people build and prepare a road [for a king to come on]. Get rid of [the things that are causing you to sin] [like] [MET] people remove from a road (obstacles/things that cause people to stumble).

15 Waayo, Kan dheer oo sarreeya, oo weligiis waara, oo magiciisu Quduuska yahay wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan degganahay meesha sare oo quduuska ah, oo weliba waxaan la jiraa kan toobadkeena oo is-hoosaysiiya inaan soo nooleeyo ruuxa kuwa is-hoosaysiiya, iyo inaan soo nooleeyo qalbiga kuwa toobadkeena.

Because this is what [I], Yahweh, who am holy and greatly honored and who live forever, say: I live in the highest heaven, where [everything] is holy, but I also am with those who are humble and who are sorry for the sinful things that they have done. I will greatly encourage [DOU] those who have repented.

16 Waayo, ilaa weligay diriri maayo oo ilaa weligay sii cadhaysnaan maayo, haddii kalese ruuxii iyo nafihii aan abuurayba hortayda way ku taag darnaan lahaayeen.

I will not accuse [people] forever; I will not always be angry [with them], because [if I did that], people would become weak/discouraged; all the people whom I created and caused to live would die.

17 Xumaantii hunguriweynaantiisa aawadeed ayaan u cadhooday oo aan wax ugu dhuftay. Waan isqariyey oo waan cadhooday, oo isna wuu ku sii leexday xagga jidkii qalbigiisa.

I was angry [with my people] because they sinned by wanting the things that others had. So because I was angry, I punished them and turned away from them, but they continued sinning.

18 Jidadkiisii waan arkay, laakiinse isagaan bogsiin doonaa, oo weliba waan soo hoggaamin doonaa, oo isaga iyo kuwa u barooranayaba waan qalbiqaboojin doonaa.

I have seen the evil things that they continually do, but I will restore them and lead them. I will encourage/comfort them. And to those who are mourning,

19 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu midhaha bushimahaan abuuraa. Nabad iyo nabadu ha u ahaato kan fog iyo kan dhowba. Oo isagaan bogsiin doonaa.

I will enable them to sing songs to praise me. I will restore [all my people], those who live near [Jerusalem] and those who live far away, and I will cause things to go well for them.

20 Laakiinse kuwa sharka ahu waa sida bad kacsan oo kale, waayo, iyadu innaba ma xasilli karto, oo biyaheeduna waxay kor u soo xooraan wasakh iyo dhoobo.

Wicked [people do not have peace in their inner beings]; they are like [SIM] a sea [whose waves are] always churning up mud,

21 Ilaahaygu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa sharka ah nabadu uma jirto.

and [I], Yahweh, say that things will never (go well/be peaceful) for those who are evil.”
