A:imose 5
1 Nabima! Isala: ili fi dunu goe bogoi da: iya gesami hea: su, amo agoane Na dilima gesami hea: mu.
Listen to the words of the funeral song I am singing for you, 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.
Fallen, no more to rise, is the virgin Israel! Hurled down upon her own soil she lies, with no one to lift 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 the Lord God says this: The city that marches out with a thousand soldiers has only a hundred left, and the one that marches out with a hundred has only ten left.
4 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu fi ilima amane sia: sa. “Nama misa! Amasea, dilia da esalumu.
For the Lord says this to Israel: Seek me and 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 do not seek Bethel, do not enter Gilgal, do not go over to Beer-sheba. For Gilgal will enter exile, and Bethel will go to destruction.
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 the Lord and live, or he will cast fire on the house of Joseph, and it will devour and there will be no one to quench it for Bethel.
7 Dilia da dunu eno se nabima: ne ogogosa amola moloidafa hou hame dawa: Amaiba: le, dilia da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
You who turn judgment to bitter wormwood, and cast righteousness into the dirt:
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.
He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns deep darkness into dawn, who darkens day again into night, who summons the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the earth’s surface, the Lord is his name!
9 Ea da dunu gasala fofonobonesisa amola ilia diasu noga: le gagili sala amo mugulusa.
He causes destruction to burst over the strong. He brings devastation on the fortress.
10 Be dunu moloidafa ilia fofada: musa: masea, amola sia: moloi sia: sea, amo dunu dilia da higasa.
You who hate the arbiters at the city gate, and abhor anyone who speaks the truth:
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.
Because you trample on the weak, and tax their grain, although you have built houses of hewn stone, you will not live in them, although you have planted charming vineyards, you will 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 how many are your crimes, and how great are your sins! You persecutors of the righteous, takers of bribes! You deny the poor their justice at the city gate.
13 Amola dilia wadela: i hou ba: sea hamedafa gagabole sia: sa: ima da defea, dilia da giadofale agoane dawa: sa.
It would be wise to keep quiet in such 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 you may live, so the Lord, God of hosts, may be with you, as you have claimed he is.
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 evil and love good, establish justice at the city gate. Perhaps the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to a surviving 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 the Lord, the God of hosts, says: In all the public squares there will be wailing, in every street the sound of mourning. They will summon the farmers to mourning, and professional mourners 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.
In all vineyards there will be lamenting, when I pass through your midst, says the Lord.
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.
Fools who long for the day of the Lord! What does the day of the Lord mean to you? 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.
It is as when one flees from a lion, and is attacked by a bear, as when one reaches home, leans his hand on the wall, and a snake bites him.
20 Hina Gode E mabe galu, amo da gasi bagade misunu amola hamedafa hadigi ba: mu. Hame dafawanese!
Won’t the Lord’s day be darkness and not light, murky darkness without a ray of light 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 will not smell the savor of your festivals,
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.
I will not be pleased with your burnt offerings, your grain offerings, I will not accept the peace offerings of your fattened calves.
23 Dilia gesami hea: lalebe go yolelesima! Na hihi nababe dilia dusu go dudu dabe go.
Spare me the noise of your songs, I will not listen to the melody of your lyres.
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 on as a flood of waters, and righteousness like an unfailing 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.
Was it only sacrifices and grain offerings you brought me during the forty years in the wilderness, Israel?
But now you will lift up your “king” Sikkuth and “star god” Kiyyun, your idols which you have 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.
as I drive you into exile beyond Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.
