Caawiyaha Reer Binu Israa'iil

41 Gasiiradahow, hortayda ku aamusa, oo dadkuna xooggooda ha cusboonaysiisteen, ha soo dhowaadeen, oo ha hadleen. Aynu dhammaanteen garsoorid u soo wada dhowaanno. Waa kuma kan mid xagga bari ka soo kiciyey, oo isaga xaqnimo ugu yeedhay inuu raaco? Quruumaha hortiisuu ku siiyaa, oo isaga ka dhigaa inuu boqorro u taliyo. Iyaga wuxuu seeftiisa kaga dhigaa sida boodh oo kale, oo qaansadiisana wuxuu kaga dhigaa sida xaab bidaya oo kale. Isagu wuu eryadaa iyaga, oo ammaan buu ku dhaafaa jid uusan mar hore marin. Yaa waxan sameeyey oo sidan yeelay isagoo facaca bilowgii uga yeedhaya? Anigoo Rabbiga ah, oo ah Kan ugu horreeya iyo Kan kuwa dambe la jira, isagaan ahay. Gasiiradahu way arkeen, wayna cabsadeen, oo dhulka darafyadiisuna way gariireen, wayna soo dhowaadeen oo yimaadeen. Midkood waluba wuxuu caawiyey deriskiisii, oo midkood waluba wuxuu walaalkiis ku yidhi, Dhiirranow. Markaasuu nijaarkii dahabtumihii dhiirrigeliyey, oo kii dubbaha wax ku simi jirayna birtumihii buu dhiirrigeliyey, isagoo leh, Laxaamaddu way wanaagsan tahay. Markaasuu masaamiir ku sii adkeeyey si ayan u dhaqdhaqaaqin.

Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iilow, waxaad tihiin addoommadayda, reer Yacquubkii aan doortayow, farcankii saaxiibkay Ibraahimow, waxaan idinka soo kaxaystay dhulka darafyadiisa, oo geesihiisa waan idiinka yeedhay, oo waxaan idinku idhi, Waxaad tihiin addoommadayda, waanan idin doortay, idinmana xoorin. 10 Ha cabsanina, waayo, waan idinla jiraa, ha nixina, maxaa yeelay, Ilaahiinna baan ahay, waan idin xoogayn doonaa, waanan idin caawin doonaa, oo waxaan idinku tiirin doonaa midigtayda xaqa ah. 11 Bal eega, kuwa idinku cadhaysan oo dhammu way wada ceeboobi doonaan, wayna sharafjabi doonaan, oo kuwa idinla dirirayaana waxay noqon doonaan sida wax aan jirin, wayna wada halligmi doonaan. 12 Waad doondooni doontaan, mana aad heli doontaan, xataa kuwa idinla diriraya, kuwa idinla dagaallamayaana waxay noqon doonaan sida wax aan jirin oo kale, iyo sida wax baabbah ah. 13 Waayo, anigoo ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa gacanta midig idinku qaban doona anoo idinku leh, Ha cabsanina, anigaa idin caawin doone. 14 Dixiriga reer Yacquub ahow, ha cabsan, dadkiinnan reer binu Israa'iilow, waan idin caawin doonaa, ayuu leeyahay Rabbiga Bixiyihiinna ah oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil. 15 Bal eega, waxaan idinka dhigi doonaa alaab cusub oo af badan oo ilka leh oo wax lagu tumo, oo waxaad tumi doontaan buuraha, waanad daqiijin doontaan, oo kurahana waxaad ka dhigi doontaa sida buunshe oo kale. 16 Waad haadin doontaan, oo dabayshaa kaxaysan doonta, cirwareentuna way kala firdhin doontaa, oo waxaad ku rayrayn doontaan Rabbiga, waanad ku faani doontaan kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil. 17 Masaakiinta iyo saboolka baahanuba biyay doondoonaan, mana jiraan, carrabkoodiina oon buu la engegay, anigoo Rabbiga ah ayaa u jawaabi doona, anigoo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ma dayrin doono. 18 Meelaha sarsare ayaan webiyo ka furi doonaa, ilona dhooxooyinka dhexdood ayaan ka soo dayn doonaa. Oo cidladana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa balli biya ah, dhulka engeganna durdurro biya ah. 19 Waxaan cidlada ku soo beeri doonaa geedaha la yidhaahdo kedar, iyo qudhac, iyo hadaas, iyo geedsaliid, oo lamadegaankana waxaan ka soo bixin doonaa geedaha ah beroosh, iyo tidhaar, iyo te'ashuur, 20 in la arko, oo la ogaado, oo laga fiirsado, oo dhammaan la wada garto in gacanta Rabbigu ay waxaas samaysay, iyo in kan Quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil uu waxaas uumay.

21 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dacwadiinna keena. Boqorka reer Yacquub wuxuu leeyahay, Sababihiinna adag soo saara. 22 Iyagu ha soo saareen, oo waxa dhici doona ha noo sheegeen. Waxyaalihii jiri jiray iyo waxay yihiin noo sheega, si aannu uga fiirsanno, oo aannu u ogaanno waxay ugudambaystoodu noqon doonto, amase waxyaalaha iman doona na tusa. 23 Waxyaalaha hadda dabadeed iman doona noo sheega si aannu u ogaanno inaad idinku ilaahyo tihiin. Bal wanaag ama shar sameeya, si aannu u naxno, oo aannu dhammaantayo u wada fiirinno. 24 Bal eega, idinku waxaad tihiin sida waxaan jirin oo kale, oo shuqulkiinnuna waa baabba', oo kii idin doortaana waa karaahiyo.

25 Mid baan xagga woqooyi ka soo kiciyey, wuuna yimid, kaasoo tan iyo marka qorraxdu soo baxdo magacayga ku baryootama, oo wuxuu amiirro ugu dul tuman doonaa sida dhoobada malaasta ah loogu tunto oo kale, iyo sida dheryasameeyuhu dhoobada ugu tunto oo kale. 26 Kumaase waa hore sii sheegay, si aannu u nidhaahno, Waa runtiis? Hubaal mid wax sheega ma jiro, oo mid wax tusa ma jiro, oo mid erayadiinna maqla ma jiro. 27 Anaa ah Kan ugu horreeya oo Siyoon ku yidhi, Bal eega, bal eega iyaga, oo waxaan Yeruusaalem siin doonaa mid war wanaagsan u keena. 28 Oo markaan eego, ninna ma jiro, oo markaan wax weyddiiyana taliye eray iigu jawaabi kara dhexdooda laguma arag. 29 Bal eega, kulligood shuqulladoodu waa wax aan waxba ahayn, waana baabba' oo sanamyadooda la shubayna waa dabayl iyo wax aan micne lahayn.

The Helper of Israel

41 “Be silent(A) before me, you islands!(B)
    Let the nations renew their strength!(C)
Let them come forward(D) and speak;
    let us meet together(E) at the place of judgment.

“Who has stirred(F) up one from the east,(G)
    calling him in righteousness(H) to his service[a]?(I)
He hands nations over to him
    and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(J) with his sword,
    to windblown chaff(K) with his bow.(L)
He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(M)
    by a path his feet have not traveled before.
Who has done this and carried it through,
    calling(N) forth the generations from the beginning?(O)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
    and with the last(P)—I am he.(Q)

The islands(R) have seen it and fear;
    the ends of the earth(S) tremble.
They approach and come forward;
    they help each other
    and say to their companions, “Be strong!(T)
The metalworker(U) encourages the goldsmith,(V)
    and the one who smooths with the hammer
    spurs on the one who strikes the anvil.
One says of the welding, “It is good.”
    The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.(W)

“But you, Israel, my servant,(X)
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,(Y)
    you descendants of Abraham(Z) my friend,(AA)
I took you from the ends of the earth,(AB)
    from its farthest corners I called(AC) you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;(AD)
    I have chosen(AE) you and have not rejected you.
10 So do not fear,(AF) for I am with you;(AG)
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen(AH) you and help(AI) you;
    I will uphold you(AJ) with my righteous right hand.(AK)

11 “All who rage(AL) against you
    will surely be ashamed and disgraced;(AM)
those who oppose(AN) you
    will be as nothing and perish.(AO)
12 Though you search for your enemies,
    you will not find them.(AP)
Those who wage war against you
    will be as nothing(AQ) at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand(AR)
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help(AS) you.
14 Do not be afraid,(AT) you worm(AU) Jacob,
    little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help(AV) you,” declares the Lord,
    your Redeemer,(AW) the Holy One(AX) of Israel.
15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,(AY)
    new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains(AZ) and crush them,
    and reduce the hills to chaff.(BA)
16 You will winnow(BB) them, the wind will pick them up,
    and a gale(BC) will blow them away.(BD)
But you will rejoice(BE) in the Lord
    and glory(BF) in the Holy One(BG) of Israel.

17 “The poor and needy search for water,(BH)
    but there is none;
    their tongues are parched with thirst.(BI)
But I the Lord will answer(BJ) them;
    I, the God of Israel, will not forsake(BK) them.
18 I will make rivers flow(BL) on barren heights,
    and springs within the valleys.
I will turn the desert(BM) into pools of water,(BN)
    and the parched ground into springs.(BO)
19 I will put in the desert(BP)
    the cedar and the acacia,(BQ) the myrtle and the olive.
I will set junipers(BR) in the wasteland,
    the fir and the cypress(BS) together,(BT)
20 so that people may see and know,(BU)
    may consider and understand,(BV)
that the hand(BW) of the Lord has done this,
    that the Holy One(BX) of Israel has created(BY) it.

21 “Present your case,(BZ)” says the Lord.
    “Set forth your arguments,” says Jacob’s King.(CA)
22 “Tell us, you idols,
    what is going to happen.(CB)
Tell us what the former things(CC) were,
    so that we may consider them
    and know their final outcome.
Or declare to us the things to come,(CD)
23     tell us what the future holds,
    so we may know(CE) that you are gods.
Do something, whether good or bad,(CF)
    so that we will be dismayed(CG) and filled with fear.
24 But you are less than nothing(CH)
    and your works are utterly worthless;(CI)
    whoever chooses you is detestable.(CJ)

25 “I have stirred(CK) up one from the north,(CL) and he comes—
    one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads(CM) on rulers as if they were mortar,
    as if he were a potter treading the clay.
26 Who told of this from the beginning,(CN) so we could know,
    or beforehand, so we could say, ‘He was right’?
No one told of this,
    no one foretold(CO) it,
    no one heard any words(CP) from you.
27 I was the first to tell(CQ) Zion, ‘Look, here they are!’
    I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good news.(CR)
28 I look but there is no one(CS)
    no one among the gods to give counsel,(CT)
    no one to give answer(CU) when I ask them.
29 See, they are all false!
    Their deeds amount to nothing;(CV)
    their images(CW) are but wind(CX) and confusion.
