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, am taking up concerning you—even a dirge, 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 hath fallen—she cannot again rise, the virgin, Israel, —she lieth forsaken on her soil, 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 My Lord, Yahweh, The city that goeth out a thousand strong, shall have left it a hundred, —And, that which goeth out a hundred strong, shall have left it ten, belonging 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 Yahweh, to the house of 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.”
Then do not seek Bethel, and, Gilgal, shall ye not enter, and, unto Beer-sheba, shall ye not cross over, For, Gilgal, shall, surely go into exile, and, Bethel, shall become a trouble.
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 ye Yahweh, and live, —lest he break forth, like a fire, upon the house of Joseph, and it devour with none 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.
Ye who turn, into, wormwood, justice, and, righteousness—to the ground have let fall.
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 made the Cluster and the Giant, and turneth, into morning, the shadow of death, and who, day into night, doth darken, Him who calleth to the waters of the sea, and poureth them out on the face of the land, Yahweh, is his name:
9 Ea da dunu gasala fofonobonesisa amola ilia diasu noga: le gagili sala amo mugulusa.
Him who flasheth force on the strong, —and, force, on the fortress, alighteth!
10 Be dunu moloidafa ilia fofada: musa: masea, amola sia: moloi sia: sea, amo dunu dilia da higasa.
They hate the man who, in the gate, rebuketh, —and, him who speaketh truthfully, they abhor.
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.
Therefore—because ye have trampled on the poor, and, the gift of corn, ye would take away from him, though, houses of hewn stone, ye have built, Yet shall ye not dwell in them, —Though, delightful vineyards, ye have planted, Yet shall ye not drink the wine of them.
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 numerous are your transgressions, and how surpassing your sins, —ye adversaries of the righteous! ye acceptors of a bribe! Even the needy in the gate, have they turned away!
13 Amola dilia wadela: i hou ba: sea hamedafa gagabole sia: sa: ima da defea, dilia da giadofale agoane dawa: sa.
Therefore, the prudent man, at that time, will be dumb, —Because an evil time, it is!
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 right and not wrong, that ye nay live, —that, so, Yahweh God of hosts, may be with you, as ye have said.
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 wrong, and love right, and station, Justice, in the gate, —Peradventure, Yahweh, God of hosts, will be gracious unto 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, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, My Lord, In all broadways, shall be lamentation, and, in all streets, shall they say, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the husbandman unto the mourning, and, unto the lamentation, them who know a wailing song;
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.
Ye, in all vineyards, lamentation, —For I will pass along through thy midst, saith Yahweh.
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.
Alas for them who are longing for the day of Yahweh, —What good to you, is the day of Yahweh? it, being 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 should flee from the face of a lion, and there should meet him—a bear! or he should have entered the house, and leaned his hand upon the wall, and there should bite him—a serpent!
20 Hina Gode E mabe galu, amo da gasi bagade misunu amola hamedafa hadigi ba: mu. Hame dafawanese!
Shall not the day of Yahweh be, darkness, and not light? yea, 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 festivals, —and can scent no fragrance in your solemn feasts.
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.
Nay, though ye cause to ascend unto me ascending-sacrifices, and your meal-offerings, I will not accept [them], —nor, the peace-offering of your fat heifers, will I regard.
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, —Even the melody of thy harps, will I 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.
But let, justice, roll along like water, —and, righteousness, as a torrent over flowing.
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.
The sacrifices and meal-offering, ye brought near unto me, in the desert, for forty years O house of Israel;
But ye carried the tent of your king-idol, and your Saturn-images, —the star of your gods, 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 carry you into exile beyond Damascus, —saith Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.
