Ishacyaah 1
1 Kanu waa wixii Ishacyaah ina Aamoos la tusay ee uu ku arkay wax ku saabsan dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem waagii ay Cusiyaah, iyo Yootam, iyo Aaxaas, iyo Xisqiyaah boqorrada ka ahaayeen dalka Yahuudah.
[I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
2 Samooyinkow maqla, dhulkow bal wax dhegayso, waayo, Rabbigu wuu hadlay oo yidhi: Carruur baan quudiyey oo koriyey, oo iyana way igu caasiyoobeen.
This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
3 Dibigu kan isaga leh wuu yaqaan, oo dameerkuna waa yaqaan meeshuu wax ka cuno ee sayidkiisa, laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxba ma yaqaaniin, oo dadkayguna waxba garan maayaan.
Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
4 Hoog waxaa leh quruuntan dembiga badan, iyo dadkan xumaanta ku raran, iyo dhashan xumaanfalayaasha, iyo wiilashan si xun u macaamilooda. Iyagu Rabbiga way ka tageen, oo waxay quudhsadeen Ka Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil dib bayna uga noqdeen.
Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
5 Bal maxaa mar dambe wax laydiinku dhufan doonaa, oo aad u sii fallaagoobi doontaan? Madaxa oo dhammu waa bukaa, oo qalbiga oo dhammuna waa taag daranyahay.
Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
6 Madaxa iyo minjaha inta ka dhex leh innaba caafimaad ma leh, laakiinse waxaa ku yaal nabro, iyo burbur, iyo boogo cusub, lama awdin, lamana duubin, oo saliidna laguma dhayin.
[It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
7 Dalkiinnii waa cidla, magaalooyinkiinniina waa la gubay, oo waddankiinniina shisheeyayaal baa hortiinna ku cunay, waana cidla, sidii wax ay shisheeyayaal afgembiyeen.
[It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
8 Oo magaalada Siyoonna waxaa looga tegey sidii waab beercanab ku dhex yaal, iyo sidii buul beer khijaar ah ku dhex yaal, iyo sidii magaalo cadow hareereeyey.
The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
9 Haddaan Rabbiga ciidammadu dad aad u yar inoo reebin, sida Sodom baan noqon lahayn, oo sida Gomorana baan noqon lahayn.
If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
10 Taliyayaasha Sodomow, Rabbiga eraygiisa maqla, dadka Gomorow, sharciga Ilaahayaga dhegta u dhiga.
You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
11 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Allabaryadiinna tirada badanu bal maxay ii yihiin? Waan ka dhergay qurbaanno guban oo wanan ah iyo xoolo buurbuuran baruurtood, kuma farxo dhiigga dibida, iyo ka baraarka iyo ka orgida toona.
He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
12 Markaad u timaadaan inaad i hor istaagtaan, bal yaa weyddiista inaad barxadahayga ku joogjoogsataan?
When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
13 Mar dambe ha ii keenina qurbaanno aan waxtar lahayn, fooxu waa ii karaahiyo, bilaha cusub, iyo maalmaha sabtida, iyo isuyeedhidda shirarkaba uma aan adkaysan karo, oo xataa shirka weyn waa dembi.
Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
14 Bilihiinna cusub iyo ciidihiinnaba naftaydu way neceb tahay, waa ii culays, inaan u adkaysto waan ka daalay.
I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
15 Oo markaad gacmihiinna ii soo hoorsataanna indhahayga waan idinka qarinayaa, oo markaad tukasho ku noqnoqataanna idin maqli maayo, waayo, gacmihiinnu waa dhiig miidhan.
[So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
16 Maydha, oo isnadiifiya, oo falimihiinna sharkooda, indhahayga hortooda ka fogeeya, oo sharka aad samaysaan daaya.
Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
17 Inaad wax wanaagsan samaysaan barta, oo caddaalad doondoona, oo kuwa la dulmay u gargaara, agoonta gartooda u qaada, oo carmallada u muddaca.
Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
18 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Haatan kaalaya oo aynu u wada fiirsannee. In kastoo ay dembiyadiinnu guduudan yihiin, sida baraf cad oo kalay u caddaan doonaan, oo in kastoo ay cascas yihiin, sida suuf oo kalay ahaan doonaan.
Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
19 Haddaad raalli tihiin oo aad dhega nugushihiin, waxaad cuni doontaan dalka barwaaqadiisa,
If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
20 haddiise aad diiddaan oo aad caasiyowdaan, waxaa idin wada baabbi'in doonta seef, waayo, afkii Rabbiga ayaa saas ku hadlay.
But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
21 Magaaladii aaminka ahayd oo caddaaladdu ka buuxday, sidee bay dhillo u noqotay! Waxaa ku jiri jirtay xaqnimo, haatanse waxaa jooga gacankudhiiglayaal!
“[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
22 Lacagtaadii wasakh bay noqotay, khamrigaagiina waxaa ku qasmay biyo.
Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
23 Amiirradaadii way caasiyoobeen, oo waxay u wehel yeeleen tuugag, oo mid walubana wuxuu jecel yahay laaluush, oo wuxuu daba ordaa abaalgudyo. Agoonta gartooda uma qaadaan, oo dacwada carmalkuna hortooda ma timaado.
Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
24 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka ah Rabbiga ciidammada, oo ah Ka xoogga badan ee reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Way, anigu nacabyadayda waan ka nasan doonaa, oo cadaawayaashaydana waan ka aar gudan doonaa.
Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
25 Oo haddana gacantayda waan ku saari doonaa, oo wasakhdaadana aad baan kaaga nadiifin doonaa, waxaaga aan saafi ahayn oo dhanna waan kaa bixin doonaa.
I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
26 Oo waxaan kuu soo celin doonaa xaakinnadaadii sidii markii hore oo kale, oo lataliyayaashaadana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa sidii bilowgii oo kale, oo dabadeedna waxaa laguugu yeedhi doonaa Magaalada xaqnimada, iyo magaalada aaminka ah.
[After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
27 Siyoon waxaa lagu soo furan doonaa caddaalad, oo kuweeda soo noqdayna waxaa lagu soo furan doonaa xaqnimo.
Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
28 Laakiinse kuwa xadgudba iyo dembilayaasha isku mar baa la burburin doonaa, oo kuwa Rabbiga ka tagana waa la wada baabbi'in doonaa.
But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
29 Waayo, way ku ceeboobi doonaan geedihii aad jeclaateen, oo beerihii aad doorateenna waad ku qasmi doontaan.
You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
30 Waayo, idinku waxaad ahaan doontaan sida geed caleentiisu dhado iyo sida beer aan biyo lahayn.
You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
31 Kan xoogga badanu wuxuu noqon doonaa sida shootali oo kale, oo shuqulkiisuna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida dhimbiil oo kale, oo labadooduba way isla guban doonaan, oo lama demin doono iyaga.
Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
