Isigiele 36

1 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Isala: ili goumi amoma sia: ma.

You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.

2 Ilia da Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, Na sia: nabima: ne sia: ma! ‘Isala: ili ha lai da Isala: ili dafai dawa: beba: le, hidale amane sia: i, ‘Amo hemonega hamoi goumi wali da ninia: ,’ amane nodone sia: i.

This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”

3 Defea! Ilima fofada: ma! Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, Na sia: ilima adosima. Isala: ili fi ilia na: iyado fi da Isala: ili goumi amo gegenana samogele laloba, amola soge wadela: lesilaloba, ilia huluane Isala: ili amoma gadesu.

Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.

4 Amaiba: le, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da dili goumi, agolo, hano, fago amola sogebi amo da wadela: lesili yolesi amola moilai hagia: i amo fifi asi gala Isala: ili sisiga: su da wadela: lesi amola dilima lasogole oufesega: su, dilia huluane Na sia: nabima.

Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.

5 Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, Na da gia: iwane ougili, Isala: ili sisiga: sa fi, ilima sia: i. Na da Idome ilima baligili ougili sia: i. Bai ilia da hahawane amola higale mae asigiliwane, Na soge gegenana lai, amola amo ea gisi nasu soge huluane fima: ne lai.

6 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili soge amoma ba: la: lusu amo sia: ma. Goumi amola fago amola hano amoma Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da ougili mudale agoane sia: daha, amo ilima adoma. Bai fifi asi gala da Isala: ili fi ilima gadele sia: ne, ili banenesi.

7 Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da dafawanedafa ilegele sia: sa. Isala: ili fi sisiga: le fifi lai huluane da fonobone banenesi dagoi ba: mu.

Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.

8 Be dilia, Na fi Isala: ili! Isala: ili goumia, dili fidima: ne, ifa da bu lubi lale, fage legemu. Dilia da gadenenewane dilia sogedafa amoga buhagimu galebe.

But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].

9 Na da dilimagai, amola dilia soge bu dogone, ha: i manu bugima: ne, Na da hamomu.

I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.

10 Na da dilia dunu fi bagama: mu. Dilia da moilai mugului amo bu gaguli, amo ganodini esalumu.

I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.

11 Na dunu amola ohe fi ilia idi bu gado heda: ma: mu. Dilia idi da musa: idi baligimu, amola dilia mano bagohame lalelegemu. Dilia da dilia musa: esalu defele bu esaloma: ne, amola dilia gagui hou da musa: gagui baligima: ne, Na da hamomu. Amasea, dilia da Na da Hina Gode dawa: mu.

I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].

12 Na da dilia, Na fi Isala: ili, amo dilia sogedafa bu esaloma: ne, bu oule misunu. Amo da dilia sogedafa ba: mu, amola amo ganodini dilia mano da bu hame ha: gia: mu.

I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.

13 Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dafawane! Dunu da fedege agoane, Isala: ili soge da dunu fane nasu soge, amane sia: daha. Amola amo soge da esalebe fi ea mano amo gegenana samogene laha, amane sia: daha.

This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.

14 Be waha winini amaiwane hame ba: mu. Isala: ili soge da bu dunu fane nasu soge hame ba: mu amola dilia mano enoga hame gegenana sasamogemu. Bai Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi.

Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.

15 Waha winini, Isala: ili da eno fifi asi gala ilima lasogole oufesega: su amola ba: sola: su amo bu hame nabimu. Amola, soge da Isala: ili mano bu hame gegenana samogene lamu. Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi.”

No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”

16 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

17 “Dunu egefe! Isala: ili dunu ilia da Isala: ili soge ganodini esaloba, ilia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, soge gugunufi agoane hamosu. Musa: sema defele, Na da ilia hou, uda da oubiga sioi fisa defele, ledo hamoi ba: su.

“You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.

18 Ilia da ilia soge ganodini fane legesu hou hamobeba: le, amola ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadole, soge gugunufiba: le, ilia da Na ougi hou nabima: ne, Na da ilima gasa bagade ougili hamoi.

So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.

19 Na da ilia hamobeba: le, ilima fofada: nanu, se bidi i. Na da ili ga fi amo ganodini esaloma: ne, afagogolesi.

I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].

20 Ilia habodili ahoanoba, ilia da Na dio wadela: lesi. Bai dunu fi eno da agoane sia: dasu, ‘Amo da Hina Gode Ea fi dunu. Be ilia da wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Gode da Hina: sogega ili gadili sefasi.’

And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’

21 Amaiba: le, Na da Na Hadigi Dio bu gaguia gadoma: ne dawa: i. Bai Isala: ili dunu da habodili ahoanoba, Na Dio da gudu sa: i agoane ba: i.

But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.

22 Wali, di Isala: ili dunuma, amo Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, Na sia: ilima alofele adosima, ‘Na wali hamomu da dili Isala: ili dunu gaguia gadoma: ne hame hamomu. Be Na Hadigi Dio (amo dilia da habodili ahoanoba, gudu sa: ima: ne hamosu) amo gaguia gadoma: ne Na da hamomu.

Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.

23 Na da fifi asi gala ilima Na Dio ea Hadigi (amo Dio dilia da fifi asi gala amo ganodini gudu sa: ima: ne hamosu) amo ilia dawa: digima: ne olelesea, ilia da Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi, amo dawa: mu. Na da fifi asi gala amo Na da Hadigi ilima olelemusa: , Na da dili, Isala: ili fi dunu, dilima hamomu.

I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

24 Na da dili fifi asi gala huluane amola soge huluane amoga fadegale, Isala: ili sogega bu oule misunu.

What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.

25 Na da dilima hano fogaga: gala: mu. Amo da dilia gugunufi hamosu (loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu amola eno wadela: i hou huluane) amo dodofele, dilia da foloai ba: mu.

[It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.

26 Na da dogo gaheabolo amola asigi dawa: su gaheabolo dilima imunu. Na da dia ga: nasi igi hamoi dogo, amo fadegale fasili, nabasu dogo dilima imunu.

I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].

27 Na da Na A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala dilia dogo ganodini sanasimu. Amola dilia da Na malei amola Na sia: nabawane hamoma: ne, Na da dilia hou afadenemu.

I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].

28 Amasea, dilia da soge amo Na da dilia aowalalia ilima i, amo ganodini esalumu. Dilia da Na dunu fi esalumu, amola Na da dilia Gode esalumu.

You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Hou huluane da dili gugunufisa, amoga Na da dili gaga: mu. Na da gagoma bagadewane heda: ma: mu. Amasea, dilia ha: bu hame ba: mu.

I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.

30 Na da dilia fage legesu ifa amo fage baligili legema: mu, amola dilia ifabi amo ha: i manu bagade heda: ma: mu. Amasea, dilia da ha: eno bu hame ba: muba: le, fifi asi gala eno ba: ma: ne, dilia da bu hame gogosiamu.

I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.

31 Dilia da dilia musa: wadela: i hou hamoi bu dawa: beba: le, dili gobele da bagadewane gogosiamu.

When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.

32 Isala: ili fi! Dilia noga: le dawa: mu, Na da hanai gala! Na da dili gaguia gadoma: ne amo hame hamosa. Dilia da dilia wadela: i hou hamoi amo dawa: beba: le gogosiamu, amo Na da hanai. Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”

But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.

33 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da dilia wadela: i amola gugunufisu hou huluane dodofesea, Na da dilia moilai ganodini esaluma: mu amola mugului diasu bu gaguma: mu.

This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.

34 Dunu huluane da dilia ifabidili baligili ahoanoba da ilia gagalabo hamoi dagoi ba: i. Be amo Na da dilia bu ouligima: mu.

People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).

35 Dunu huluane da agoane sia: mu, ‘Amo soge da musa: iwila agoane galu. Be wali afadenene, Idini Soge defele ba: sa. Moilai bai bagade huluane da mugului dagole, liligi huluane gegenana lai agoane ba: i. Be wali amogawi dunu fi da fifi lala amola moilai bai bagade da gagili sali dagoi.

They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”

36 Amasea, na: iyado fifi asi gala amo da mae bogole esala, ilia da Na, Hina Gode, da mugului moilai amo bu gagumusa: dawa: , amola gagalobo misi ifabi amo bu sagamusa: dawa: , amo ilia da dawa: mu. Na, Hina Gode da amo hamomusa: ilegei, amola Na da dafawane hamomu.

When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.

37 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Isala: ili dunu Nama fidima: ne adole ba: ma: ne, logo bu doasimu. Na da sibi wa: i ilia idi da heda: sa, amo defele Na da Isala: ili fi ilia idi heda: ma: mu.

This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,

38 Musa: Yelusaleme da ilia lolo nabe amoga gobele salasu hamoma: ne, sibi amoga nabaiwane ba: i. Amo defele, Isala: ili moilai bai bagade wali mugului diala, da fa: no dunu fi amoga nabaiwane ba: mu. Amasea, ilia da Na da Hina Gode dawa: mu.”

as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
