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.

Cry with a full throat, spare not, like the cornet lift up thy voice, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house 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.

Yet me do they ever seek day by day, and to know my ways do they always desire; as a nation that hath done righteousness, and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God: continually do they ask of me the ordinances of justice—do they desire to draw nigh unto 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.

“Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest it not? have we afflicted our soul, and thou regardest it not?” Behold, on the day of your fasting ye follow your business, and all your acquired gains do ye exact.

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.

Behold, for contention and strife do ye fast, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not so at this day, to cause your voice 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 such then the fast which I can choose? a day that a man afflicteth his soul? to bend his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes for his couch? wilt thou call this a fast, and a day of acceptability unto the Lord?

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?

Is not this [rather] the fast that I will choose? to open the snares of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye should break asunder every yoke?

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?

Is it not to distribute thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the afflicted poor into thy house! when thou seest the naked, that thou clothe him; and that thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh?

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 shall break forth as the morning-dawn thy light, and thy healing shall speedily spring forth; and before thee shall go thy righteousness, the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.

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 shalt thou call, and the Lord will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here am I. If thou remove from the midst of thee the yoke, the stretching out of the finger, and speaking wickedly;

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.

And if thou pour out to the hungry thy soul, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall shine forth in the darkness thy light, and thy obscurity be as the noonday;

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.

And the Lord will guide thee continually, and will satisfy thy soul in times of famine, and will strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a well-watered garden, and like a spring of water, the waters of which will never deceive.

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.

And they that spring from thee shall build up the ancient ruins; the foundations of many generations shalt thou raise up again: and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breaches, The restorer of paths to the dwelling-place.

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 thou restrain thy foot for the sake of the sabbath, not doing thy business on my holy day; and if thou call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord, honorable; and honor it by not doing thy usual pursuits, by not following thy own business, and speaking [vain] words:

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 shalt thou find delight in the Lord; and I will cause thee to tread upon the high places of the earth, and I will cause thee to enjoy the inheritance of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
