Dadkii Ilaah Oo La Qalbi Qaboojiyey

40 Ilaahiinnu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkayga qalbi qaboojiya oo sii qalbi qaboojiya! Yeruusaalem qalbigeeda la hadla, oo iyada u qayliya oo u sheega in dagaalkeedu dhammaaday, iyo in xumaanteeda laga saamaxay, iyo inay dembiyadeedii oo dhan aawadood laba jibbaar gacantii Rabbiga uga heshay.

Waxaa yeedhaya mid qaylinaya codkiis oo leh, Jidkii Rabbiga cidlada dhexdiisa ka hagaajiya, oo lamadegaanka dhexdiisa jid weyn Ilaahayaga aawadiis uga toosiya. Dooxo walba kor baa loo qaadi doonaa, oo qar iyo buur walbana waa la gaabin doonaa, waxa qalloocanna waa la toosin doonaa, oo meelaha xunxunna waxaa laga dhigi doonaa bannaan siman, oo waxaa la muujin doonaa ammaanta Rabbiga, uunka oo dhammuna way wada arki doonaan, waayo, afkii Rabbiga ayaa saas ku hadlay. Waxaa yeedhaya codka kan leh, Qayli. Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaan ku qayliyaa? Wax kasta oo jiidh lahu waa caws, oo wanaagsanaantiisa oo dhammuna waa sida ubaxa duurka oo kale. Cawsku wuu engegaa, ubaxuna wuu dhacaa, maxaa yeelay, neefta Rabbigu way afuuftaa, sida xaqiiqada ah dadku waa caws oo kale. Cawsku wuu engegaa, ubaxuna wuu dhacaa, laakiinse erayga Ilaaheennu weligiisba wuu waari doonaa.

Kaaga warka wanaagsan Siyoon u keenayow, buurta dheer kor u sii fuul, kaaga warka wanaagsan Yeruusaalem keenayow, codkaaga kor xoog ugu qaad, kor u sii qaad, oo innaba ha cabsan. Oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, War bal Ilaahiinna eega! 10 Bal eega, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu la iman doonaa xoog weyn, oo gacantiisaa wax isaga ugu talin doonta! Bal eega, abaalgudkiisii wuu wadaa oo abaalmarintiisuna way ka soo horraysaa. 11 Isagu adhigiisuu u daajin doonaa sida adhijir oo kale, naylahana gacantiisuu ku ururin doonaa, oo wuxuu ku qaadi doonaa laabtiisa, oo kuwa la nuugana qunyar buu u hor kici doonaa.

12 Bal yaa biyaha sacabkiisa godan ku qiyaasay, oo samada taako ku qiyaasay, oo ciidda dhulka miisaan ku qiyaasay, oo buuraha miisaammo saaray, oo kurahana kafado ku miisaamay? 13 Bal yaa Ruuxa Rabbiga la taliyey? Bal yaase intuu lataliyihiisii noqday isaga wax baray? 14 Bal yuu isagu la tashaday? Oo bal yaa tacliimiyey, oo dhabbaha caddaaladda baray? Oo yaa aqoon baray, oo jidka waxgarashada tusay? 15 Bal eega, quruumuhu waxay isaga la yihiin sida dhibic biyeed oo baaldi ku jirta oo kale, oo wuxuu ku xisaabaa sida boodh kafado dul saaran oo kale, oo bal eega, gasiiradahana wuxuu kor ugu qaadaa sida habaas fudud oo kale. 16 Oo Lubnaan in la gubo kuma filla, oo xayawaankeedana qurbaan la gubo uguma filla. 17 Quruumaha oo dhammu waxay hortiisa ku yihiin sida wax aan jirin oo kale, oo waxay isaga la xisaabsan yihiin wax ka sii yar baabba' iyo waxaan waxba ahayn. 18 Haddaba bal yaad Ilaah u ekaysiinaysaan? Amase masaalkee baad isaga kala mid dhigaysaan? 19 Ninkii saanac ahu sanam xardhan buu shubaa, oo dahabtumuhuna dahab buu ku dahaadhaa, oo wuxuu u tumaa silsilado lacag ah. 20 Kii miskiin ah oo aan qurbaan awoodi karinuse wuxuu doortaa geed aan bololi karin, oo wuxuu doondoontaa nin saanac ah oo hagaajiya sanam xardhan oo aan dhaqaaqi karin. 21 Miyeydaan ogayn? Miyeydaan maqlin? Miyaan bilowgii laydiin sheegin? Oo miyeydaan garan tan iyo aasaaskii dhulka? 22 Waa isaga kan wareegga dhulka dul fadhiya, oo dadka kor degganuna waa sida kabajaan oo kale, oo waa isaga kan samooyinka sida daah u kala fidiya, oo wuxuu u kala bixiyaa sida teendho lagu hoydo oo kale. 23 Isagu amiirrada wuxuu ka dhigaa sida wax aan jirin oo kale, oo xaakinnada dhulkana wuxuu ka dhigaa sida wax aan waxba ahayn oo kale. 24 Hubaal iyaga lama beerin, lamana abuurin, jirriddooduna dhulka xidid kuma yeelan, weliba wuu afuufaa, oo iyana way engegaan, oo dabaysha cirwareenta ah ayaa iyaga sida xaab oo kale u qaada. 25 Haddaba kan Quduuska ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal yaad ii ekaysiinaysaan si aan ula mid noqdo? 26 Bal indhihiinna kor u qaada oo eega. Yaa waxyaalahaas uumay? Waa kan ciidankooda tirada ku soo bixiya, oo kulligoodba magacyo ugu yeedha. Itaalkiisu wuu weyn yahay oo isagu wuu xoog badan yahay, oo sidaas daraaddeed midkoodna ma dhinna.

27 Reer Yacquubow, bal maxaad u leedahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, bal maxaad ugu hadlaysaa, Jidkaygu Rabbiga wuu ka qarsoon yahay, oo Ilaahayna gartayda dan kama galo? 28 War miyaadan ogayn? Oo miyaadan maqlin in Ilaaha daa'imka ah oo ah Rabbiga ah Uumaha dhulka darafyadiisa uusan itaal darnaan ama uusan daalin? Waxgarashadiisana lama baadhi karo. 29 Isagu kuwa itaalka daran xoog buu siiyaa, oo kuwa aan tabarta lahaynna tabar buu u kordhiyaa. 30 Xataa dhallinyaradu way itaal darnaan doonaan, oo daali doonaan, oo barbaarraduna aad bay u dhici doonaan. 31 Laakiinse kuwa Rabbiga isku halleeyaa xoog cusub bay heli doonaan. Way ordi doonaan, mana ay daali doonaan, oo way socon doonaan, mana ay itaal darnaan doonaan.

Comfort for God’s People

40 Comfort, comfort(A) my people,
    says your God.
Speak tenderly(B) to Jerusalem,
    and proclaim to her
that her hard service(C) has been completed,(D)
    that her sin has been paid for,(E)
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
    double(F) for all her sins.

A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
    the way(G) for the Lord[a];
make straight(H) in the desert
    a highway for our God.[b](I)
Every valley shall be raised up,(J)
    every mountain and hill(K) made low;
the rough ground shall become level,(L)
    the rugged places a plain.
And the glory(M) of the Lord will be revealed,
    and all people will see it together.(N)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”(O)

A voice says, “Cry out.”
    And I said, “What shall I cry?”

“All people are like grass,(P)
    and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers(Q) and the flowers fall,
    because the breath(R) of the Lord blows(S) on them.
    Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers(T) fall,
    but the word(U) of our God endures(V) forever.(W)

You who bring good news(X) to Zion,
    go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,[c](Y)
    lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
    say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”(Z)
10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes(AA) with power,(AB)
    and he rules(AC) with a mighty arm.(AD)
See, his reward(AE) is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:(AF)
    He gathers the lambs in his arms(AG)
and carries them close to his heart;(AH)
    he gently leads(AI) those that have young.(AJ)

12 Who has measured the waters(AK) in the hollow of his hand,(AL)
    or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?(AM)
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
    or weighed the mountains on the scales
    and the hills in a balance?(AN)
13 Who can fathom the Spirit[d](AO) of the Lord,
    or instruct the Lord as his counselor?(AP)
14 Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him,
    and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,(AQ)
    or showed him the path of understanding?(AR)

15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
    they are regarded as dust on the scales;(AS)
    he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.(AT)
16 Lebanon(AU) is not sufficient for altar fires,
    nor its animals(AV) enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations(AW) are as nothing;(AX)
    they are regarded by him as worthless
    and less than nothing.(AY)

18 With whom, then, will you compare God?(AZ)
    To what image(BA) will you liken him?
19 As for an idol,(BB) a metalworker casts it,
    and a goldsmith(BC) overlays it with gold(BD)
    and fashions silver chains for it.
20 A person too poor to present such an offering
    selects wood(BE) that will not rot;
they look for a skilled worker
    to set up an idol(BF) that will not topple.(BG)

21 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?(BH)
Has it not been told(BI) you from the beginning?(BJ)
    Have you not understood(BK) since the earth was founded?(BL)
22 He sits enthroned(BM) above the circle of the earth,
    and its people are like grasshoppers.(BN)
He stretches out the heavens(BO) like a canopy,(BP)
    and spreads them out like a tent(BQ) to live in.(BR)
23 He brings princes(BS) to naught
    and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.(BT)
24 No sooner are they planted,
    no sooner are they sown,
    no sooner do they take root(BU) in the ground,
than he blows(BV) on them and they wither,(BW)
    and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.(BX)

25 “To whom will you compare me?(BY)
    Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.(BZ)
26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:(CA)
    Who created(CB) all these?
He who brings out the starry host(CC) one by one
    and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,(CD)
    not one of them is missing.(CE)

27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
    Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
    my cause is disregarded by my God”?(CF)
28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?(CG)
The Lord is the everlasting(CH) God,
    the Creator(CI) of the ends of the earth.(CJ)
He will not grow tired or weary,(CK)
    and his understanding no one can fathom.(CL)
29 He gives strength(CM) to the weary(CN)
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men(CO) stumble and fall;(CP)
31 but those who hope(CQ) in the Lord
    will renew their strength.(CR)
They will soar on wings like eagles;(CS)
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.(CT)
