< Isigiele 2 >
1 Na da amo ba: beba: le, odagi guduli, osoba diasa: i. Amalalu na da sia: nabi, amane, “Dunu egefe! Di wa: legadoma! Na da dima sia: mu!”
He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”
2 Amo sia: sia: be galu, Gode Ea A: silibu da na dogo ganodini sa: ili, na wa: legadolesi. Amalalu, na da amo sia: gebewane nabalu, amane,
While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.
3 “Dunu egefe! Na da di Isala: ili dunuma asunasiagasa. Ilia da Nama odoga: ne, baligi fa: su. Amola ilia da ilia aowalalia hou defele, mae fisili wali Nama lelelewane hamosa.
He said, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.
4 Ilia da gasa fi hou hamosa amola Nama hame nodosa. Amaiba: le, Na (Hina Gode Ouligisudafa) amo Na sia: ilima olelemusa: , di asunasiagasa.
The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’
5 Amo odoga: su dunu da Na sia: nabima: bela: ? O hame nabima: bela: ? Be balofede dunu da ilima misi dagoi, amo ilia da dawa: mu.
[when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who has been among them.
6 Be di, dunu egefe! Iliba: le mae beda: ma! Amola ilia sia: amoba: le mae beda: ma! Ilia da dia sia: hame nabimu amola diba: le higamu. Di da gamaloa fi amo ganodini esalebe agoai ba: mu. Be amo odoga: su dunuba: le amola ilia sia: amoba: le mae beda: ma.
And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.
7 Ilia nabimu o hame nabimu, amo mae dawa: ma. Be ilia hou mae dawa: le, di Na sia: alofele, ilima olelema. Mae gogolema! Ilia da hame nabasu gasa fi dunu.
Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.
8 Dunu egefe! Na sia: be nabima! Ilia odoga: su hou defele mae hamoma. Dia lafi dagale, Na dima iabe amo di moma.”
But human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I give to you.”
9 Na ba: loba, lobo nama molole guda: le, meloa bioi gagui dialebe ba: i.
Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.
10 Lobo bu meloa bioi fadegale, Na ba: loba, la: dila la: dilale dedei ba: i. Se nabasu amola didigia: su amola disu amoga dedei dialebe ba: i.
He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.
