Ishacyaah 58
1 Aad u qayli, oo waxba ha iskula hadhin, codkaagana sida buun oo kale kor u qaad, oo dadkayga xadgudubkooda u sheeg, oo reer Yacquubna dembiyadooda u sheeg.
Give a roar from the throat! Don't hold back! Shout out like a trumpet! Announce to my people how rebellious they are; denounce to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
2 Laakiinse iyagu maalin kasta way i doondoonaan, oo waxay jecel yihiin inay jidadkayga ogaadaan. Sidii quruun xaqnimo samaysay oo aan innaba amarkii Ilaahooda ka tegin waxay i weyddiistaan amarro xaq ah, oo waxay aad u jecel yihiin inay Ilaah ku soo dhowaadaan.
Every day they come to me, pleased to know my ways as if they were a nation that does what is right and follow the laws of their God! They ask me to treat them right; they like to be close to their God.
3 Waxay leeyihiin, Bal maxaannu u soonnay oo aad u arki weyday? Bal maxaannu naftayada u dhibnay oo aad u daymoon weyday? Bal eega, maalintii aad soontaan waad iska raaxaysataan, oo shaqaalihiinna oo dhanna waad dulantaan.
“Didn't you see that we fasted?” they ask. “Didn't you notice how we denied ourselves?” That's because whenever you fast you still do whatever you want, and you treat your workers badly.
4 Bal eega, idinku waxaad u soontaan dirir iyo dood keliya, iyo inaad feedhkii sharnimada wax ku dhufataan. Maanta uma soontaan si codkiinna xagga sare looga maqlo.
Can't you see that when you're fasting you quarrel and argue, and end up having a vicious fist-fight? When you fast like this you can't expect your prayers to be heard on high!
5 Soonkii aan doortay ma waxaas oo kalaa? Ma maalin nin naftiisa dhibo baa? Ma inuu madaxiisa sida cawsduur u foororsho, oo uu hoostiisa dhar joonyad ah iyo dambas ku goglo baa? Waxaa ma waxaad tidhaahdaan, Waa soon iyo maalin Rabbigu aqbali karo?
Is this the kind of fast I want when people act out their humility by bowing their heads down like a reed and by lying around in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day the Lord appreciates?
6 Sow kanu ma aha soonkii aan doortay in silsiladihii sharnimada la furo, oo guntimihii harqoodka la debciyo, oo kuwa la dulmay la xoreeyo, oo aad harqood kasta jebisaan?
No, this is the fast I want: set free those who have been unjustly imprisoned, untie the cords of the yoke used to burden people, set free those who are oppressed, and get rid of every form of abuse.
7 Sow ma aha inaad kibistaada ka gaajaysan u gooysid, oo aad masaakiinta aan hoy lahayn gurigaaga soo gelisid, oo markaad aragtid mid qaawan aad wax huwisid, oo aadan xigtadaada aad isku jiidhka tihiin ka dhuuman?
Share your food with the hungry, take the poor and homeless into your house. When you see people naked, give them clothes, and don't reject your own relatives.
8 Oo markaas iftiinkaagu wuxuu u soo kaahi doonaa sida kaaha waaberi, oo bogsiintaaduna dhaqso bay u soo bixi doontaa, oo xaqnimadaaduna way ku hor socon doontaa, oo ammaanta Rabbiguna way ku daba socon doontaa.
Then your light will shine out like the dawn, and you will be healed quickly; your salvation will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will go behind you.
9 Markaasaad dhawaaqi doontaa, oo Rabbiguna waa kuu jawaabi doonaa, waad u qayshan doontaa, oo isna wuxuu ku odhan doonaa, Waa i kan. Haddaad dhexdaada ka fogaysid harqoodka, iyo farta fiiqiddeeda, iyo hadlidda sharka ah,
Then when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out for help, the Lord will say, “I'm here.” If you get rid of oppression among you, if you stop pointing the finger and slandering others,
10 oo haddaad ka gaajaysan quudkaaga siisid, oo aad nafta dhibaataysan dherjisid, markaas iftiinkaagu gudcur buu ka soo dhex kaahi doonaa, oo madowgaaguna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida hadh cad oo kale.
if you dedicate yourselves to helping the hungry and give the poor what they need, then your light will shine out in the darkness, and your night will be like the sun at noon.
11 Oo Rabbiguna had iyo goorba wuu ku hoggaamin doonaa, oo iyadoo abaar ah ayuu naftaada dherjin doonaa, lafahaagana wuu adkayn doonaa, oo adna waxaad noqon doontaa sida beer la waraabiyey, iyo sida il biya ah oo aan innaba biyeheedu gudhin.
The Lord will always lead you; he will give you all you need in you in a desolate land; he will make you strong again. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that never runs dry.
12 Oo kuwaaga ayaa meelihii hore oo burburay dhisi doona, oo waxaad sara kicin doontaa aasaasyada qarniyada badan, oo waxaa laguugu yeedhi doonaa Jabniinkabe, iyo kan jidadka cusboonaysiiya si loo dego.
Some among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore generations-old foundations. You will be called the Repairer of the Break in the Wall, the Restorer of Life's Pathways.
13 Haddaad sabtida cagtaada ula hadhid si aadan maalintayda quduuska ah damacaaga u samayn, aadse sabtida ugu yeedhid farxad, iyo tan quduuska ah ee Rabbiga, oo sharafta badan, iyo haddaad sabtida sharaftid, adigoo aan siyaalahaaga samaynayn, ama aan damacaaga daba galayn, ama aan hadalkaaga ku hadlayn,
If you make sure you don't break the Sabbath by doing whatever you please on my holy day, if you say the Sabbath brings you pleasure and the Lord's day is to be honored, and if you honor it by leaving aside your own ways, by not doing whatever you please, and by avoiding everyday chatting,
14 markaasaad Rabbiga ku farxi doontaa, oo anna waxaan ku marsiin doonaa meelaha sarsare ee dhulka, oo dhaxalkii awowgaa Yacquub ayaan kugu quudin doonaa, waayo, afkii Rabbiga ayaa saas ku hadlay.
then you'll find the Lord is the one who truly makes you happy, and I will give you high positions on the earth and give you what I promised to Jacob, your forefather. I, the Lord, have spoken.
