Mousese Ea Malasu 32
1 “Osobo bagade amola mu! Na sia: noga: le nabima!
“Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
2 Na olelesu da gibu dadadi agoane sa: imu amola osobo bagadega oubi baea agoane dialumu. Na sia: da gibu gisia dahabe defele sa: imu. Asaboi gibu da asaboi gisiga daha agoane.
I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
3 Na da Hina Gode Ea Dio amoma nodomu. Amola Ea fi dunu da Ea noga: idafa gasa bagade hou olelemu.
I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
4 Hina Gode da dilia gasa bagade Gaga: su Dunu. Ea hou huluane ganodini da noga: idafa amola moloidafa fawane ba: sa. E da yolesimu hame dawa: E da dafawanedafa hou hamosa. E da moloidafa fawane hamosa.
He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
5 Be dilia da moloi hou hame dawa: Dilia amo hou hedolo fisisa. Dilia da wadela: i amola ogogosu bagade dawa: Dilia da Ea fi dunu esalumu defele hame agoai ba: sa.
“But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
6 Dilia gagaoui amola asigi dawa: su hame fi! Dilia Hina Godema agoane hamomu da defeala: ? Hame mabu! Bai E da dilia Ada, dili Hahamosu Dunu. Ea hamobeba: le, dilia da fi gasa bagade hamoi.
You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
7 Musa: hemone eso bu dawa: ma! Musa: hou hamoi amo dilia ada ilima adole ba: ma! Musa: hemonega hou ba: i amo dawa: ma: ne, dilia da: i hamoi dunuma adole ba: ma!
“Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
8 Hina Gode Gasa Bagade da fifi asi gala ilia soge olei ilegei dagoi. E da dunu fi esaloma: ne ilia soge ilegei. E da Isala: ili ea mano ilia idi defele amo soge huluane ilegei.
When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
9 Be Ya: igobe egaga fi, E da Ea fidafa hamoma: ne ilegei.
But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
10 E da Ya: igobe ea fi amo hafoga: i amola ha: i manu hame soge amo ganodini hogole ba: i. Amo soge da wadela: idafa, foga fai dagoi. E da amo fi Ea si amoga ouligisu hou defele, ili noga: le gaga: i amola ouligi.
“He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
11 Buhiba da ea sio bibi dusa: le fasisia amola ea mano gadodili fananea amola ea ougia amo mano da: ma: ne wa: sa, ea mano gaguli ahoa,
[Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
12 amo defele Hina Gode Hisu da Ea fi bisili oule asi. Ga fi dunu ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi da ilima hame sigi asi.
Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
13 E da hamobeba: le, ilia da goumi soge ouligisu amola ilia da soge ha: i manu bugi amo nasu. E da agime hani igi ganodini sali amola olife susuligi igi agologa lai ili moma: ne, ilima i.
“[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
14 Ilia bulamagau amola goudi da dodo maga: me bagade iasu. Ilia sibi, goudi amola bulamagau da eno baligili, noga: idafa ba: i. Amola widi amola waini eno baligili, noga: i nasu.
The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
15 Hina Gode Ea fi dunu da bagade gaguiwane ba: i. Be gasa fi amola odoga: su hou da heda: i. Ilia da sefe bagade sadi bagadewane ba: i. Ilia da ili Hahamosu Gode yolesi dagoi. Ilia gasa bagade Gaga: su Gode higale yolesiagai.
“The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
16 Ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ogogosu liligi amoma sia: ne gadosu hou ba: beba: le, Hina Gode da mudale ba: i. E da ilia wadela: i hou ba: beba: le, ougi bagade ba: i.
So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
17 Ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi amoma gobele salasu hou hamosu. Isala: ili dunu da hame nabasu hou hamone, gaheabolo ‘gode’ liligi amo ilia aowalali da hame dawa: i, ilima gobele salasu hou hamosu.
They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
18 Be ilia Gode, ilia gasa bagade Gaga: su Gode amo da esalusu ilima i, amo ilia da gogolei.
They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
19 Hina Gode da amo hou ba: beba: le, ougi bagade ba: i. E da egefelali amola idiwilali yolesi.
“When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
20 E amane sia: i, “Na da ili bu hame fidimu. Amasea, amo hame nabasu wadela: i hamosu dunu ilima adi hou da doaga: ma: bela: ? Na da ba: mu.
He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
21 Ilia da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi dawa: beba: le, Na da ougi ba: i. Ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi (amo da ‘gode’ hame) ilima dawa: beba: le, Na da mudale ba: i. Amaiba: le, Na da hamedei fi amo ili ougima: ne amola gagaoui fi ili mudama: ne, amo ilima asunasimu.
They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
22 Na ougi da lalu agoane heda: mu. Liligi huluane osobo bagadega diala da amoga nene dagomu. Amo lalu da bogoi sogega doaga: le, goumi ea bai huluane nene dagomu. (Sheol h7585)
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Na da se nabasu idimu gogolei ilima imunu. Na da Na dadi huluane amoga ili doagala: le gala: mu.
I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
24 Ilia da ha: iba: le amola asugiba: le bogogia: mu. Na da sigua amola gasonasu ohe fi ilima doagala: ma: ne asunasimu. Amola saya: be ilima gasomoma: ne asunasimu.
They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
25 Gegesu ganodini ilia da moilai logoga bogomu. Ilia diasu ganodini bagade beda: mu. Ayeligi amola a: fini da bogogia: mu. Mano dubusa amola da: i hamoi dunu da bogogia: mu.
Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
26 Na amo fi huluane, ilia dio bu mae dawa: ma: ne, dafawane gugunufinisi dagoma: ne dawa: i galu.
I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
27 Be ilima ha lai ilisu da Na fi gugunufinisimu, amo ilia da dawa: sa: besa: le, Na da huluane hame gugunufinisi. Bai Nisu da Na fi gugunufinisi.’
But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
28 Isala: ili da gagaoui fi. Ilia da asigi dawa: su hamedafa gala.
You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
29 Eno dunu fi da ili hasali. Be ilia da amo hou ea bai hame ba: sa. Ilia da hou ilima doaga: i amo ea bai hamedafa dawa:
If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
30 Dunu 1000agoane da abuliba: le dunu afaega hasalila: ? Dunu 10,000 agoane da abuliba: le dunu adunaga fane legebala: ? Bai Hina Gode, ilia Gode, da ili yolesi dagoi. Ilia gasa bagade Gode da ili yolesiagai.
[You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
31 Ilima ha lai dunu da ilisu ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi da gasa hame amo dawa: be. Ilia da Isala: ili Gode amo Ea gasa bagade defele hame gala.
Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
32 Ilima ha lai fi da Sodame amola Gomoula fi amo defele, wadela: idafa. Ilia da waini efe amo da gamogai amola medosu waini legesa defele ba: sa.
Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
33 Ilia da waini hano amo saya: be ea medosu defo amoga hamoi defele.
the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
34 Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilima ha lai dunu ilia hou hame gogolesa. E da ilima se iasu ima: ne eso amo doaga: ma: ne ouesala.
[“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
35 Hina Gode da ilima dabe imunu. E da ilima se imunu. Ilia dafasu eso da doaga: mu. Ilia gugunufinisimu eso da gadenei.
I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
36 Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu gaga: mu. E da ilisu gasa da dagoi ba: sea amola ilisu da ili fidimu gogoleiba: le, E da ilima gogolema: ne olofosu imunu.
“But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
37 Amasea, Hina Gode da Ea fi dunuma amane adole ba: mu, “Amo gasa bagade ‘gode’ liligi dilia dafawaneyale dawa: i, amo da habila: ?
Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
38 Dilia da dilia gobele salasu sefe amo ili moma: ne i, amola ilima waini hano moma: ne olei. Ilia da wali dili fidima: ne hehenaia misunu da defea.
You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
39 Na fawane da Godedafa. Eno ‘gode’ liligi huluane da ogogosu. Na da medole legesu amola Na da esalusu iaha. Na da fa: gisa amola Na da uhinisisa. Na hawa: hamosu logo enoga hedofamu da hamedei.
“But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
41 Na da Gode Esala. Na da Na lobo amo Hebene amoga ligia gadole amane sia: sa, Na hadigi gobihei Na da debesa. Moloidafa hou Na da hamomu. Na da Nama ha lai dunu dabemu amola Nama higa: i dunu ilima se imunu.
that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Na dadi amoga da ilia maga: me bagade dialebeba: le, dadabimu. Amola Na gegesu gobihei bagade da nowa Nama gegesea amo medole legemu. Na da nowama da Nama gegesea, ema hame asigimu. Fa: gi hamoi dunu amola se iasu diasu hamosu dunu huluane da bogogia: mu.’
I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
43 Fifi asi gala huluane! Dilia Hina Gode Ea Fi ilima nodoma: mu. Nowa da ili medole legesea, E da ilima se iaha. E da Ema ha lai dunu amo dabesa. Amola Ea fi dunu ilia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofosa.”
“You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
44 Mousese amola Yosiua (Nane ea mano) da Isala: ili dunu huluane nabima: ne, amo gesami olelei.
Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
45 Mousese da Gode Ea olelesu amo Isala: ili dunuma olelei dagosea,
When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
46 e da amane sia: i, “Hamoma: ne sia: i na da wali eso dilima olelei amo huluane noga: le nabima. Dilia mano da Gode Ea olelesu amo mae fisili, noga: le fa: no bobogema: ne, amo sia: ilima bu olelema.
Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
47 Amo olelesu da hamedei liligi hame. Ilia da dilia esalusudafa. Amo noga: le nabasea, dilia da ode bagohame Yodane Hano na: iyado bega: soge dilia gesowale fimu soge, amo ganodini esalumu.
These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
48 Amo esoha Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
49 “Di A: balime Goumiga gilisisu (Moua: be soge ganodini, Yeligou moilai bai bagade gadenene) amoga masa. Nibou Goumiba: le heda: le, Ga: ina: ne soge amo Na da Isala: ili dunuma iaha, amo ba: ma.
“Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
50 Dia ola Elane da Ho Goumia bogoi amo defele di da Nibou Goumia bogomu.
You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
51 Bai ali da Isala: ili dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, Na Dio hame gaguia gadoi. Di da Meliba hano (Ga: idesie soge gadenene, wadela: i soge Sine ganodini) amoga esalea, dunu huluane ba: ma: ne Na Dio hame gaguia gadoi.
You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
52 Di da sedagawane amo soge ba: mu, be soge amo Na da Isala: ili dunuma iaha, amo ganodini hame masunu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: i.
[When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
