< A:imose 5 >

1 Nabima! Isala: ili fi dunu goe bogoi da: iya gesami hea: su, amo agoane Na dilima gesami hea: mu.
Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
2 Isala: ili da a: fini dafai agoane ba: sa. Bu wa: legadomu da hamedei galebe! E da osobo gudu diasa: i enoga fisi udigili diala, amola dunu afaega da fidili hame wa: legadolesisa.
The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise. She is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
3 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa. “Isala: ili osobo dogone fi ilia da gegesu dunu 1000 agoane gegena masa: ne asunasisa, be amomane 100 agoane ilia fawane bu sinidigili manebe ba: sa. Amola Isala: ili osobo dogone fi eno amo ganodini ilia fi oda 100 agoane gegena masa: ne asunasisa be amomane 10 ilia fawane buhagisa.”
For thus says the lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel.
4 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu fi ilima amane sia: sa. “Nama misa! Amasea, dilia da esalumu.
For thus says Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live.
5 Dilia Biasiba moilai bai bagadega nodone sia: ne gadomusa: mae masa. Dilia Bedele moilaiga Na hogole ba: musa: mae masa! Bedele da hamedei agoane ba: mu. Giliga: le sogega mae masa! Ea fi dunu da ga sogega afugili gaguli asi dagoi ba: mu.”
But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba. For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to naught.
6 Dilia Hina Godema sinidigima! Amasea dilia da esalumu. Be Ema hame sinidigisia, Ea da lalu agoane misini, Isala: ili dunuma se dabe imunu. Amo lalu da Bedele dunu huluane nene dagomu, amola amo lalu da ha: ba: domu hamedeiwane ba: mu.
Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7 Dilia da dunu eno se nabima: ne ogogosa amola moloidafa hou hame dawa: Amaiba: le, dilia da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,
8 Hina Gode da gasumuni huluane hahamoi. Hi fawane da gasumuni gilisisu Baleiadese amola Olione hahamoi. Ea da gasi amo afadenene bu ha iaha. Amola ha amo afadenene bu gasi iaha. E da wayabo bagade amoma hano misa: ne sia: sea, amomane E da osobo bagadega sogadigisa. Ea Dio da Hina Godedafa.
seek him who makes the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night, who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name),
9 Ea da dunu gasala fofonobonesisa amola ilia diasu noga: le gagili sala amo mugulusa.
who brings sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
10 Be dunu moloidafa ilia fofada: musa: masea, amola sia: moloi sia: sea, amo dunu dilia da higasa.
They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks uprightly.
11 Dilia da liligi hame gagui dunu ilia liligi amola ha: i manu huluane wamolasa. Dilia da diasu igiga noga: le gasa gala gagui, be amomane dilia da diasu goega hame esalumu. Amola dilia sagaia da waini sagai, be amomane da waini hano da hame manu, goe sagai ganodini.
Inasmuch therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions of wheat from him. Ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them. Ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine thereof.
12 Na dawa: dilia wadela: i hou amo da wadela: idafa amola Na dawa: dilia afuda: i liligi amo. Dilia da dunu noga: i amo wadela: lesisa. Dilia hano suligi sia: amoga sia: ma: ne bidi laha amola dunu liligi hame gagui amo ea sia: amo moloidafa mae sia: ma: ne dedebosa.
For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-ye who afflict the just man, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the gate.
13 Amola dilia wadela: i hou ba: sea hamedafa gagabole sia: sa: ima da defea, dilia da giadofale agoane dawa: sa.
Therefore he who is prudent shall keep silence in such a time, for it is an evil time.
14 Dilia da hou noga: idafa amola moloidafa ilegema! Amane hamosea, dilia da noga: le esalumu. Dilia da agoane sia: sa, ‘Gode, Hina Gode Bagadedafa E amo da nini gilisili esafula.’ Be dilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, E da dili gilisili hame esafula. Be noga: i hou goe hamosea, defeadafa, Gode da dili gilisili esalumu.
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live, and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.
15 Wadela: i hou huluane yolesima amola hou moloidafa fa: no bobogema! Dilia fofada: su ganodini sia: moloidafa sia: sa: ima! Dilia moloidafa sia: dasea, Hina Gode da dili amola dilia fi dunu hame bogoi esala, amo hame yolesimu be gagui dialumu.
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
16 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Osobo dogone fi moilai bai bagade logo fodoi amogai aligili ilima didigia: su bagade da nabimu. Amola sagale nasu dawa: dunu huluane da wele guda: le da muni lama: ne bogoi da: iya asigili didigia: be agoane hamomu.
Therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways. And they shall say in all the streets, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailing.
17 Waini sagai huluane amo ganodini da didigia: su bagade nabimu. Bai Na da misini dilima se dabe imunu.” Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi.
And in all vineyards shall be wailing, for I will pass through the midst of thee, says Jehovah.
18 Dilia da Hina Gode Ea Eso hedolodafa doaga: mu hanai be dilia da amomane se bagade nabimu. Amo eso doaga: sea da dili hame fidimu. Dilia dawa: lobada, amo da esoi hadigisala: ? Hame mabu! Amo eso da dilima gasi agoane ba: mu.
Woe to you who desire the day of Jehovah! Why would ye have the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light.
19 Fedege agoane amo eso doaga: sea da agoane ba: mu. Dunu e da laione wa: me amo sodole hobeale ahoasea, e da bea ea logo damubi ba: mu. O dunu da hina: diasuga golili dasea, ea lobo amo dobea amoga ligisisia, saniaga lobo gasomai ba: mu.
As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him, or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Hina Gode E mabe galu, amo da gasi bagade misunu amola hamedafa hadigi ba: mu. Hame dafawanese!
Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light, even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 Hina Gode Ea amane sia: sa “Na da dilia nodone sia: ne gadosu lolo nabe hou goga da Na hamedafa hanasa, amola hahawane hame amo hou Na higasa!
I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 Dilia Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne Iasu amola Gala: ine Iasu amo gaguli masea, Na da amo hame lamu. Na dilia ohe sefena gaguli masea amo Na da hame lamu.
Yea, though ye offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them, nor will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Dilia gesami hea: lalebe go yolelesima! Na hihi nababe dilia dusu go dudu dabe go.
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs, for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 Be hou noga: i hamosa esaloma amola moloi esaloma! Moloidafa hou da hano bagade amo da habe hame dawa: , agoane ba: mu da defea.
But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Dilia Isala: ili fi dunu! Ode 40 amoga Na soge sedaga wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini dili Na da oule ahoasu, amo ganodini Na da dilima gobele salasu amola udigili iasu ima: ne logele hame sia: i.
Did ye bring sacrifices and offerings to me in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Yea, ye have borne the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, your images which ye made to yourselves.
27 Be dilia da Sagade ogogosu ‘gode’ (amo da dilia ‘hina gode’ dilia da giadofale sia: sa) amola Gaiwane (amo da dilia gasumuni ‘gode’ dilia da giadofale sia: sa) amo loboga hamoi liligi dilia da nodone sia: ne gadoiba: le, Na da dilia soge Dama: sagase moilai bai bagade baligi amoga afugili oule ahoasea, dilia da amo loboga hamoi liligi amola gaguli masunu,” Hina Gode (Ea Dio da Ouligisudafa Godedafa) Ea da amane sia: sa.
Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.
