Reer Binu Israa'iil Ee La Doortay

44 Haddaba addoommadayda reer Yacquubow, iyo dadka Israa'iil ee aan doortayow, bal i maqla. Rabbiga idin uumay, oo tan iyo markaad uurka ku jirteen idin samaynayay, oo haddana ku caawin doona wuxuu leeyahay, Addoommadayda reer Yacquubow, iyo Yeshuruunkii aan doortayow, ha cabsanina. Waayo, kii oomman biyaan ku shubi doonaa. Ruuxayga ayaan farcankiinna ku daadin doonaa, oo barakadaydana carruurtiinnaan ku shubi doonaa. Oo iyana waxay ka soo dhex bixi doonaan cawska sida geedo safsaaf ah oo biyo socda ku ag yaal. Oo midba wuxuu odhan doonaa, Anigu waxaan ahay kii Rabbiga, oo mid kalena wuxuu isu bixin doonaa magicii Yacquub, oo mid kalena wuxuu gacantiisa ku kor qori doonaa, Waxaan ahay kii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu isku magacaabi doonaa magicii Israa'iil.

Addeeca Rabbiga Oo Keliya

Rabbiga ah Boqorka iyo Bixiyaha reer binu Israa'iil oo ah Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan ahay kan ugu horreeyey iyo kan ugu dambeeya, oo aniga mooyaane Ilaah kale ma jiro. Bal yaa sidayda oo kale u sheegi kara? Ha naadiyo, oo si hagaagsan ha iigu sheegeen anoo dadkii hore dhisay. Oo waxyaalaha soo socda iyo waxa dhici doona iyagu ha sii sheegeen. Ha cabsanina oo ha baqina, waayo, miyaanan waa hore idiin sii sheegin, oo aanan idin tusin? Idinku waxaad tihiin markhaatiyaashaydii. Aniga mooyaane ma Ilaah kalaa jira? Hubaal Dhagax kale ma jiro. Innaba mid kale garan maayo. Sanamyada la qoray kuwa sameeya oo dhammu waa wax aan waxba tarayn, oo waxyaalaha ay jeclaadaanna faa'iido ma yeelan doonaan, oo markhaatiyaashooduna waxba ma arkaan, waxna ma oga, saas darteed way ceeboobi doonaan. 10 Bal yaa wax ilaah ah sameeyey, amase shubay sanam xardhan oo aan waxba tarayn? 11 Bal eega, kuwa daba gala oo dhammu way wada ceeboobi doonaan, saanacyadu waa binu-aadmi uun. Bal dhammaantood ha isu soo wada urureen, oo ha soo istaageen, way cabsan doonaan, oo kulligoodna way wada ceeboobi doonaan. 12 Birtumuhu faas buu sameeyaa oo wuxuu ku shaqeeyaa dhuxul, oo dubbayaal buu ku qabanqaabiyaa, oo gacantiisa xoogga badan ayuu kaga shaqeeyaa; wuu gaajoodaa, wuuna taag gabaa, biyo ma cabbo, wuuna daalaa. 13 Nijaarku xadhig wax lagu qiyaaso buu fidiyaa, oo wax cas buu ku calaamadeeyaa, oo faaraduu ku simaa, oo goobeeyena wuu ku qiyaasaa, oo wuxuu u ekaysiiyaa binu-aadmiga ekaantiis iyo si waafaqsan dadka quruxdiisa inuu guriga joogo. 14 Wuxuu soo goostaa geedo kedar ah, oo wuxuu soo qaataa geed tirsah ah iyo geed alloon ah, oo mid ka mid ah dhirta duudda ayuu xoogaystaa, oo wuxuu beertaa geed oren ah oo roobkuna waa quudiyaa. 15 Dabadeedna wuxuu noqon doonaa wax dad shito, waayo, wax buu ka qaadaa, oo wuu kulaalaa, wuuna shitaa oo kibis buu ku dubtaa, oo weliba wax ilaah ah buu ka samaystaa, wuuna u sujuudaa. 16 Oo in buu dabka ku gubaa, oo inna hilib buu ku bislaystaa, isagoo ku sosha oo ka dherga, wuuna kulaalaa oo wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Hadda waan kululahay, oo dabkii waan arkay. 17 Oo intii ka hadhana wuxuu ka samaystaa wax ilaah ah oo ah xataa sanamkiisa xardhan, oo wuu u sujuudaa oo caabudaa, wuuna baryaa, oo wuxuu yidhaahdaa, I samatabbixi, waayo, adigu waxaad tahay ilaahayga. 18 Iyagu ma ay aqoon, mana ay garanayn, waayo, indhahoodii waa la xidhay si ayan waxba u arkin, oo qalbigoodiina si ayan waxba u garan. 19 Oo midkoodna kama fikiro, oo aqoon iyo waxgarasho midna laguma arko, inuu yidhaahdo, Qoriga qaarkiis baan dab ku gubay, oo duxushiisaan kibis ku dubtay, oo hilib baan ku soshay, waanan cunay, haddaba ma intii ka hadhay baan karaahiyo ka samaystaa? Ma waxaan u sujuudaa geed jiriddiis? 20 Isagu wuxuu cunaa dambas, oo qalbigiisa la khiyaaneeyey ayaa isaga leexiyey, oo naftiisana ma uu samatabbixin karo, mana uu odhan karo, Sow gacantayda midig beenu kuma jirto? 21 Reer Yacquubow, waxyaalahan xusuusta, waayo, reer Israa'iilow, waxaad tihiin addoommadayda. Anigaa idin abuuray, oo waxaad tihiin addoommadayda. Israa'iilow, idin illoobi maayo. 22 Sidii daruur qaro weyn ayaan xadgudubyadiinnii u tirtiray, oo sidii daruur oo kale ayaan dembiyadiinniina u tirtiray. Haddaba ii soo noqda, waayo, waan idin soo furtay. 23 Samooyinkow, heesa, waayo, Rabbigaa sameeyey. Dhulka meelaha ugu hooseeyow, qayliya. Buuraha, iyo duudda, iyo geed kasta oo ku dhex yaallow, hees ku dhufta, waayo, Rabbigu reer Yacquub wuu soo furtay oo wuxuu isku dhex weynayn doonaa reer binu Israa'iil.

Yeruusaalem Waa La Degi Doonaa

24 Rabbiga ah Samatabbixiyihiinna iyo kii tan iyo markaad uurka ku jirteen idin samaynayay wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan ahay Rabbiga wax kasta sameeya, oo keligiis samooyinka kala bixiya, oo keligiisna dhulka kala fidiya. 25 Anigu waxaan ahay kan calaamadaha beenlowyada wax aan waxba ahayn ka dhiga, oo kuwa wax falana nacasyo ka dhiga, oo kuwa caqliga lehna dib u celiya, oo aqoontoodana nacasnimo ka dhiga, 26 kan erayga addoonkiisa xaqiijiya, oo talada wargeeyayaashiisa oofiya, kan Yeruusaalem ka leh, Iyada waa la dhex degi doonaa, oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudahna ka leh, Iyaga waa la dhisi doonaa, oo burburkoodana waan sara kicin doonaa. 27 Waxaan ahay kan moolka ku yidhaahda, Engeg noqo, oo anna webiyaashaada waan qallajin doonaa, 28 kan Boqor Kuuros ka leh, Isagu waa adhijirkayga, oo wuxuu oofin doonaa waxaan jeclahay oo dhan, oo xataa Yeruusaalemna ka leh, Iyada waa la dhisi doonaa, oo macbudkana ku leh, Aasaaskaaga waa la dhigi doonaa.

Israel the Chosen

44 “But now listen, Jacob, my servant,(A)
    Israel, whom I have chosen.(B)
This is what the Lord says—
    he who made(C) you, who formed you in the womb,(D)
    and who will help(E) you:
Do not be afraid,(F) Jacob, my servant,(G)
    Jeshurun,[a](H) whom I have chosen.
For I will pour water(I) on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;(J)
I will pour out my Spirit(K) on your offspring,
    and my blessing(L) on your descendants.(M)
They will spring up like grass(N) in a meadow,
    like poplar trees(O) by flowing streams.(P)
Some will say, ‘I belong(Q) to the Lord’;
    others will call themselves by the name of Jacob;
still others will write on their hand,(R) ‘The Lord’s,’(S)
    and will take the name Israel.

The Lord, Not Idols

“This is what the Lord says—
    Israel’s King(T) and Redeemer,(U) the Lord Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;(V)
    apart from me there is no God.(W)
Who then is like me?(X) Let him proclaim it.
    Let him declare and lay out before me
what has happened since I established my ancient people,
    and what is yet to come—
    yes, let them foretell(Y) what will come.
Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
    Did I not proclaim(Z) this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God(AA) besides me?
    No, there is no other Rock;(AB) I know not one.”

All who make idols(AC) are nothing,
    and the things they treasure are worthless.(AD)
Those who would speak up for them are blind;(AE)
    they are ignorant, to their own shame.(AF)
10 Who shapes a god and casts an idol,(AG)
    which can profit nothing?(AH)
11 People who do that will be put to shame;(AI)
    such craftsmen are only human beings.
Let them all come together and take their stand;
    they will be brought down to terror and shame.(AJ)

12 The blacksmith(AK) takes a tool
    and works with it in the coals;
he shapes an idol with hammers,
    he forges it with the might of his arm.(AL)
He gets hungry and loses his strength;
    he drinks no water and grows faint.(AM)
13 The carpenter(AN) measures with a line
    and makes an outline with a marker;
he roughs it out with chisels
    and marks it with compasses.
He shapes it in human form,(AO)
    human form in all its glory,
    that it may dwell in a shrine.(AP)
14 He cut down cedars,
    or perhaps took a cypress or oak.
He let it grow among the trees of the forest,
    or planted a pine,(AQ) and the rain made it grow.
15 It is used as fuel(AR) for burning;
    some of it he takes and warms himself,
    he kindles a fire and bakes bread.
But he also fashions a god and worships(AS) it;
    he makes an idol and bows(AT) down to it.
16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire;
    over it he prepares his meal,
    he roasts his meat and eats his fill.
He also warms himself and says,
    “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.(AU)
17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol;
    he bows down to it and worships.(AV)
He prays(AW) to it and says,
    “Save(AX) me! You are my god!”
18 They know nothing, they understand(AY) nothing;
    their eyes(AZ) are plastered over so they cannot see,
    and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
19 No one stops to think,
    no one has the knowledge or understanding(BA) to say,
“Half of it I used for fuel;(BB)
    I even baked bread over its coals,
    I roasted meat and I ate.
Shall I make a detestable(BC) thing from what is left?
    Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”(BD)
20 Such a person feeds on ashes;(BE) a deluded(BF) heart misleads him;
    he cannot save himself, or say,
    “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?(BG)

21 “Remember(BH) these things, Jacob,
    for you, Israel, are my servant.(BI)
I have made you, you are my servant;(BJ)
    Israel, I will not forget you.(BK)
22 I have swept away(BL) your offenses like a cloud,
    your sins like the morning mist.
Return(BM) to me,
    for I have redeemed(BN) you.”

23 Sing for joy,(BO) you heavens, for the Lord has done this;
    shout aloud, you earth(BP) beneath.
Burst into song, you mountains,(BQ)
    you forests and all your trees,(BR)
for the Lord has redeemed(BS) Jacob,
    he displays his glory(BT) in Israel.

Jerusalem to Be Inhabited

24 “This is what the Lord says—
    your Redeemer,(BU) who formed(BV) you in the womb:(BW)

I am the Lord,
    the Maker of all things,
    who stretches out the heavens,(BX)
    who spreads out the earth(BY) by myself,
25 who foils(BZ) the signs of false prophets
    and makes fools of diviners,(CA)
who overthrows the learning of the wise(CB)
    and turns it into nonsense,(CC)
26 who carries out the words(CD) of his servants
    and fulfills(CE) the predictions of his messengers,

who says of Jerusalem,(CF) ‘It shall be inhabited,’
    of the towns of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,’
    and of their ruins,(CG) ‘I will restore them,’(CH)
27 who says to the watery deep, ‘Be dry,
    and I will dry up(CI) your streams,’
28 who says of Cyrus,(CJ) ‘He is my shepherd
    and will accomplish all that I please;
he will say of Jerusalem,(CK) “Let it be rebuilt,”
    and of the temple,(CL) “Let its foundations(CM) be laid.”’
