Ishacyaah 59
1 Bal eega, Rabbiga gacantiisu inay wax badbaadiso kama gaabna, oo dhegihiisuna inay wax maqlaan kama awdna,
Listen to this! Yahweh’s power [MTY] is not ended/gone, with the result that he cannot save [you]. He has not become deaf [MTY], with the result that he cannot hear [you when you call to him for help].
2 laakiinse xumaatooyinkiinnaa idin kala soocay idinka iyo Ilaahiinna, oo dembiyadiinnaa wejigiisa idinka qariyey, oo saasuusan idiin maqlin.
But, you have separated yourselves from your God by the sins that you have committed. Because of your sins, he has turned away from you, with the result that he does not pay attention to what you request him to do.
3 Waayo, gacmihiinnii dhiig bay ku nijaasaysan yihiin, oo farihiinniina xumaan bay ku nijaasaysan yihiin, bushimihiinnii been bay ku hadleen, oo afkiinniina shar buu ku guryamaa.
You do violent things [MTY] [to others], with the result that your hands are stained with their blood. You [constantly] tell [MTY] lies, and you say [MTY] evil things [about others].
4 Ninna si xaq ah uma dacweeyo, oo midnaba run kuma muddaco. Waxay isku halleeyaan waxaan waxba ahayn, oo been bay ku hadlaan, belaayay uuraystaan, oo xumaan bay dhalaan.
When you accuse someone in court, what you say is not fair and it is not true. You accuse people falsely. You are [constantly] planning to cause trouble for others, and then you do those evil things that you planned.
5 Waxay dillaaciyaan jilbis ukuntiis, oo waxay sameeyaan xuub caaro. Kii ukuntooda cunaaba wuu dhintaa, oo tii jabtaba jilbis baa ka soo baxa.
What you plan to do to harm people [MET] is as dangerous as the eggs of a (cobra/poisonous snake), because cobras will hatch from those eggs. You trap people like [MET] spiders trap/catch insects in their webs.
6 Xuubabkoodu dhar uma ay noqon doonaan, oo shuqulladoodana innaba iskuma qarin doonaan. Shuqulladoodu waa shuqullo xumaaneed, oo falinta dulmiguna gacmahooday ku jirtaa.
We people cannot hide/cover our skin with clothes made of spider webs [MET], and similarly you cannot hide the evil things that you have done. You are [constantly] acting [MTY] violently.
7 Cagahoodu shar bay u ordaan, oo waxay u degdegaan inay dhiig aan xaq qabin daadiyaan. Fikirradoodu waa fikirro xumaaneed, baabba' iyo halligaad ayaa jidadkooda dhex yaal.
You [SYN] are very quick to go and do evil things, and you hurry to murder people [MTY] who are innocent. You are [continually] thinking about sinning. Wherever you go, you destroy things and cause people to suffer.
8 Jidka nabadda ma yaqaaniin, oo socodkoodana caddaalad laguma arko. Waxay samaysteen dhabbayaal qalqalloocan, oo ku alla kii maraaba nabad ma uu yaqaan.
You do not know how to act peacefully or to treat others fairly. You always are (dishonest/deceiving others) [MET], and those who imitate your behavior never have any inner peace.
9 Sidaas daraaddeed caddaaladu way inaga fog tahay, oo xaqnimana innaba ina soo gaadhi mayso. Waxaynu sugnaa nuur, laakiinse waxaynu aragnaa gudcur, oo waxaynu sugnaa iftiin laakiinse madow baynu ku dhex soconnaa.
Because of that, God does not rescue us [from our enemies]; [it seems that] he is not acting fairly/righteously toward us. We expect [God to give us] light, but all [he gives us] is darkness [DOU].
10 Sida kuwa indhaha la' ayaynu derbiga u haabhaabannaa, oo sida innagoo aan innaba indho lahayn ayaynu wax u haabhaabannaa. Sida fiid oo kale ayaynu hadh cad u turunturoonnaa, oo waxaynu nahay sida dad dhintay oo kuwa barwaaqaysan ku dhex jira.
We are like [SIM] blind people who have to feel along a wall to be able to walk anywhere. We stumble [and trip] at noontime like [SIM] we would when it is dark. We are like [SIM] dead people who are among healthy people.
11 Kulligeen sida orsooyin oo kale ayaynu u cabaadnaa, oo sida qoolleyo oo kale ayaynu u baroorannaa. Waxaynu sugnaa caddaalad, laakiinse lama arko, oo waxaynu sugnaa badbaado, laakiinse way inaga fog tahay.
We growl like [SIM] [hungry] bears; we continually moan like [SIM] doves. We seek [people who do] what is just/fair, but we cannot find any [anywhere]. [We want God] to rescue us, but [it seems that] he is far away.
12 Waayo, Rabbiyow, xadgudubyadayadii hortaaday ku bateen, oo waxaa nagu marag fura dembiyadayada, waayo, xadgudubyadayadu way nala jiraan, oo xumaatooyinkayagana waannu og nahay.
[But these things are happening] because [it is as though] our sins are piled high in the presence of God, and that they testify [PRS] against us. We cannot deny it; we know that we have done many wrong things.
13 Waynu xadgudubnay oo Rabbiga been ka sheegnay oo Ilaaheen ka leexannay, innagoo dulmi iyo fallaago ku hadlayna oo erayo been ah uuraysanayna oo qalbiga kaga hadlayna.
[We know that] we have rebelled against Yahweh; we have turned away from him. We (oppress people/treat people cruelly) by what we testify [against them]; we do not allow them to get what they have a right to get. We [SYN] think about the lies that we can tell, and then we tell them.
14 Caddaaladdii dib bay u noqotay, oo xaqnimaduna meel fog bay taagan tahay, waayo, runtii jidkay ku dhex dhacday, oo qummanaantuna sooma geli karto.
[In our courts, the judges] do not decide cases/matters fairly; no one is acting righteously. In plazas where people gather together, no one tells the truth [PRS]; [it seems that people] are not allowed to say what is true.
15 Hubaal runta waa la waayayaa, oo ku alla kii sharka ka tagaaba wuxuu iska dhigaa wax la boobo, oo Rabbiguna taas wuu arkay, shar bayna u ahayd inaan caddaalad la arag.
No one tells the truth, and people try to ruin [the reputations of] those who quit doing evil. Yahweh looked around, and he saw that no one was doing what is just/fair, and he was [very] displeased.
16 Wuxuuna arkay inaan ninna la arag, oo inaan dhexdhexaadiye la arag wuu ka yaabay, sidaas daraaddeed gacantiisa ayaa isaga badbaado u keentay, oo xaqnimadiisii ayaa tiirisay.
He was disgusted when he saw that no one tried to help [those who were being treated cruelly]. So he used his own power [MTY] to rescue them; it is because he is always righteous that he did that [PRS].
17 Sida laabdhawr oo kale ayuu xaqnimo u soo xidhay, oo madaxana wuxuu saartay koofiyad badbaado ah, oo wuxuu dhar ahaan u guntaday aarsasho, oo qiiro kulul ayuu soo huwaday.
[It is as though he is a soldier who] [MET] puts on his armor and a helmet; his continually doing what is right is like [MET] his armor, and his ability to rescue people is [like] his helmet. His being extremely angry and his being ready to get revenge [on those who do evil] are like [MET] his robes.
18 Siday falimahoodu istaahilaan ayuu nacabyadiisa cadho ugu abaalmarin doonaa, oo cadaawayaashiisana wuu u abaalgudi doonaa, oo gasiiradahana abaalgud buu siin doonaa.
He will repay his enemies for the evil things that they have done. He will severely punish [MTY] even those who live far [from Jerusalem].
19 Markaasaa magaca Rabbiga xagga galbeed lagaga cabsan doonaa, oo ammaantiisana xagga qorrax-ka-soobaxaa lagaga cabsan doonaa. Marka cadowgu sida daad oo kale u yimaado ayaa Ruuxa Rabbigu eryi doonaa.
When that happens, people everywhere, from the east to the west, will respect and honor Yahweh [MTY], because he will come like [SIM] a rushing river that is pushed along by the strong wind that Yahweh sent.
20 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bixiye baa u iman doona Siyoon iyo kuwa reer Yacquub ee xadgudubka ka leexdaba.
And Yahweh says that he will come to Jerusalem to free [his people]; he will come to rescue those in Judah who have quit (doing sinful things/their sinful behavior).
21 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kanu waa axdigayga aan iyaga la dhigan doono. Ruuxayga ku kor jooga iyo erayadaydii aan afkaaga ku riday innaba afkaaga, iyo afka farcankaaga, iyo afka farcankaaga farcankiisa toona hadda ka dib iyo tan iyo weligeedba kama tegi doonaan, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
This is what Yahweh says to his people: “This is the agreement that I will make with you: My Spirit will not leave you, and you will always have my message. You will [be able to] declare it [MTY], and your children and grandchildren will [be able to] declare it forever.”
