1 Nabima! Isala: ili fi dunu goe bogoi da: iya gesami hea: su, amo agoane Na dilima gesami hea: mu.
Hear these words, which I utter concerning you; This lamentation, 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.
She is fallen, she shall rise no more, The virgin of Israel! She is prostrate on her own ground, 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 saith the Lord Jehovah; The city which sent out a thousand shall have a hundred left, And that which sent out 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 saith 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.”
Seek not Bethel, And go not to Gilgal, And pass not over 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 rush like a fire on the house of Joseph, And it devour, and there be none to quench it in the house of Israel.
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 into wormwood, And cast righteousness down to the ground.
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, that made the Pleiades and Orion; That changeth death-like darkness into morning, And darkeneth day into night; That calleth up the waters of the sea, And poureth 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 sendeth sudden destruction upon the strong, And bringeth desolation upon the fortress.
10 Be dunu moloidafa ilia fofada: musa: masea, amola sia: moloi sia: sea, amo dunu dilia da higasa.
They hate him that pleadeth in the gate, And abhor him that speaketh 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.
Since, then, ye trample upon the poor, And take from him presents of wheat, Though ye build houses of hewn stone, ye shall not dwell in them; Though ye plant pleasant vineyards, ye shall not drink their wine.
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 that your sins are many, And your transgressions manifold, Ye who afflict the righteous, and take a bribe, And oppress the poor 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 the wise man shall be silent at that time, For it shall be 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 ye good, and not evil, that ye may live; Then shall Jehovah, the God of hosts, be with you, as ye boast.
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 ye evil, and love good, And establish justice in the gate; It may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will have pity upon 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.
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: In all the streets shall there be wailing, And in all the highways shall they cry, Alas! alas! They shall call the husbandmen to mourning, And those who 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 sounds of woe, For I will pass through the midst of thee, saith 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 unto them that ask for the day of Jehovah! What is the day of Jehovah to you? It shall be 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 a house and leaned his hand on a wall, And a serpent bit him;
20 Hina Gode E mabe galu, amo da gasi bagade misunu amola hamedafa hadigi ba: mu. Hame dafawanese!
So shall the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light, Even thick darkness, 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; I have 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.
When ye offer me burnt-offerings and flour-offerings, I will not accept them; And upon the thank-offerings of your fatlings I will not look.
23 Dilia gesami hea: lalebe go yolelesima! Na hihi nababe dilia dusu go dudu dabe go.
Take ye away from me the noise of your songs, And the music of your harps let me not hear!
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.
Let justice flow forth 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 offer me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness, for forty years, O house of Israel?
But ye bore the tabernacle of your king, And the shrine of your images, The star of your god, which ye made for 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 will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, Saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts!
