< Isaiah 56 >

1 Thus says the Lord: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Sababii fayyisuun koo dhiʼaatee fi qajeelummaan koo dafee mulʼatuuf, “Murtii qajeelaa eegaa; waan qajeelaas hojjedhaa.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds to this, keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it, guarding his hands and not doing any evil.
Namni waan kana hojjetu, kan waan kanattis cimu, kan Sanbata utuu hin xureessin eeguu fi waan hamaa kam iyyuu hojjechuu irraa harka isaa eeggatu eebbifamaa dha.”
3 And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord, speak, saying, “The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.” And let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
Alagaan Waaqayyotti cichee tokko, “Waaqayyo dhugumaan saba isaa irraa addaan na baasa” hin jedhin. Xuʼaashiin kam iyyuus, “Ani mukuma gogaadha” ofiin hin jedhin.
4 For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: “Xuʼaashiiwwan Sanbatoota koo eegan, kanneen waan na gammachiisu filatanii fi kakuu koo jabeessanii eeganiif,
5 I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.
ani mana qulqullummaa kootii fi dallaa isaa keessatti yaadannoo fi maqaa ilmaanii fi intallan caalu tokko nan kennaaf; ani maqaa bara baraa kan hin haqamne isaaniif nan kenna.
6 And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.
Alagoota isa tajaajiluuf, maqaa Waaqayyoo jaallachuuf, isa waaqeffachuuf Waaqayyotti cichan kanneen Sanbata utuu hin xureessin eeganii fi kakuu koos cimsanii eegan hunda,
7 I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.
ani gara tulluu koo qulqulluutti isaan nan fida; mana kadhannaa koo keessattis gammachuu isaaniif nan kenna. Aarsaan isaanii kan gubamuu fi qalmi, iddoo aarsaa koo irratti fudhatama ni argata; manni koo saboota hundaaf, mana sagadaa jedhamee waamamaatii.”
8 The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says: Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan, inni Israaʼeloota bittinnaaʼan walitti qabu sun akkana jedha: “Ani warra duraan walitti qabaman biratti, warra kaanis gara isaaniitti walitti nan qaba.”
9 All beasts of the field, all the beasts of the forest: approach and devour!
Bineensonni dirree hundi, bineensonni bosonaa hundis kottaatii itti gaggabaa nyaadhaa!
10 His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant. They are mute dogs without the ability to bark, seeing empty things, sleeping and loving dreams.
Eegdonni Israaʼel jaamota, isaan hundi beekumsa hin qaban; hundi isaanii saroota duudaa dha; dutuus hin dandaʼan; isaan ciisanii abjootu; rafuus ni jaallatu.
11 And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction. The shepherds themselves do not know understanding. All have turned aside in their own way, each one to his own avarice, from the highest even to the least:
Isaan saroota albaadheyyii dha; nyaataniis hin quufan. Isaan tiksoota hubannaa hin qabnee dha; hundi isaanii daandii ofii isaanii irra deemu; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii faayidaa ofii isaanii barbaadu.
12 “Come, let us take wine, and be filled by inebriation. And as it is today, so shall it be tomorrow and for a long time.”
Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii akkana jedhu; “Kottaa daadhii wayinii dhugnaa! Kottaa dhugaatii cimaa dhugnee quufnaa! Guyyaan borii akkuma harʼaa taʼa; yookaan caaluu iyyuu ni dandaʼa.”
