Isigiele 8
1 Eso bi, amola oubi gafe amo ninia mugululi misi ode gafe amoga, Yuda mugululi misi ouligisu dunu da nana gilisili, na diasu ganodini esalu. Hedolodafa, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Ea gasa da nama doaga: i.
On the fifth day of the sixth month [of that year], almost six years after we Israeli people had been (exiled/forced to go to Babylon), I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting in front of me. Suddenly the power [MTY] of Yahweh the Lord came on me.
2 Na da ba: le gadole ba: loba, dunu lalu agoane hamoi ba: i. Ea bulu ga: suanini guduli da lalu agoane ba: i. Be ea bulu ga: suanini gadole, e da balase ela: mei agoai ba: i.
[in a vision] I saw someone who resembled a man. Below his waist, [his body] was like fire, and above his waist [his body] was glowing like very hot metal.
3 Ea lobo agoai amoga molole gale, na dialuma hinaboga gaguli, dialuma hiougia guda: i. Amalu, na esala ba: la: lusu amo ganodini, Gode ea A: silibu da na fo da: iya gado oule heda: le, Yelusalemema oule asi. E da na oule, Debolo diasu logo ga: i ga (north) amodi, ganodini logo ga: su amoga oule heda: i. Amogai da ogogole loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amo dunu hulu dawa: digi amo dialu. Gode da amo liligi bagade higa: i.
He reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me [from Babylon] to Jerusalem. He took me [to the temple], to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.
4 Amogawi, na ba: loba, nenemegi hadigi (amo da Isala: ili Gode da esalebe olelesa), amo na da musa: Giba Hano bega: ba: i, na da bu ba: i dagoi.
And there in front of me was the brilliant light that indicated the presence of the God whom the Israeli [people previously worshiped. It was] like the vision that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
5 Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Ga (north) amoma ba: ma.” Na ba: le galoba, amola oloda amo logo holei gadenene, amo dafulili dialebe ogogosu ‘gode’ amo Gode da bagade higasu, amo lelebe ba: i.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look toward the north!” So I looked, and I saw in the entrance of the gate near the altar that idol that caused Yahweh to be disgusted and furious.
6 Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Amo hou doaga: be di da ba: bela: ? Isala: ili dunu ilia baligili wadela: i hou hamosa ba: ma. Amo hou da Na hadigi sogebi amoga Na sefasisa. Be di da eno baligiliwane gogosiama: ne wadela: i hou ba: mu.”
He said to me, “You human, do you see what those Israeli people [MTY] are doing? They are doing detestable things here, things that will cause me to abandon my temple. But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
7 E da na oule asili, Debolo diasu gadili gagoi ea logo holei amoga oule asili, gagoi ganodini gelabo olelei.
Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 E da nama amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Dobea fei guidili, gelabo agene masa.” Na da gelabo doasanawene, golili asili, logo holei ba: i.
He said to me, “You human, dig through the wall here.” So I dug through the wall, and I saw a doorway inside.
9 Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Golili sa: ili, ilia wadela: i hou bagadedafa hamonanebe, amo ba: ma.”
He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things that they are doing there!”
10 Amaiba: le, na da golili sa: ili, ba: i. Dobea damana da sania amola eno ledo galebe ohe liligi adoba: le dedei, amoma Isala: ili dunu da giadofale nodone sia: ne gadolalebe ba: i.
So I went in through the doorway and looked, and I saw, all over the [of a big room, drawings of] all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground and [other] detestable animals, and drawings of all the idols that the people of [were worshiping].
11 Isala: ili ouligisu dunu 70 amo ganodini esalebe ba: i. Afae da Ya: ia: sanaia (Sia: ifa: ne egefe). Huluane afae afae da gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu hanu gaguli lelu. Amola amoga mobi heda: lebe ba: i.
In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing among them. Each of them was holding a pan in which incense was burning, and fragrant smoke of the burning incense was rising up.
12 Gode da nama amane adole ba: i, “Dunu egefe! Di Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilia wamo hamobe hou ba: sala: ? Ilia huluane da sesei amo da loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi amoga nabai dagoi, amo ganodini nodone sia: ne gadolala. Ilia da agoane dedebole sia: sa, ‘Hina Gode da nini hame ba: sa. E da ninia sogega fisiagai dagoi.”
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look at [RHQ] what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’”
13 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Di da eno baligiwane gogosiama: ne wadela: i hou ilia hamobe, amo ba: mu.”
He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
14 Amalalu, E da na ga (north) Debolo logo holei amoga oule asili, uda amo ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ Da: mase bogoiba: le, dinanebe ba: i.
Then he took me to the entrance at the north gate of the temple. I saw women sitting there, mourning for [the death of the god of the people of Babylonia], Tammuz.
15 Gode da nama adole ba: i, “Dunu egefe! Di da amo hou ba: sala: ? Di da eno baligiliwane gogosiama: ne wadela: i hou ilia hamobe, amo ba: mu.”
He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
16 Amaiba: le, E da na Debolo ganodini gagoi amoga oule asi. Amogawi, Debolo logo holei gadenene, oloda amola logo amo dogoa da dunu 25 agoane lelebe ba: i. Ilia da Gode Ea Debolo diasu baligifa: le, eso mabe amoga ba: le gusuli, esoma nodone sia: ne gadolalebe ba: i.
Then he took me into the courtyard outside the temple. There at the entrance of the temple, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men. Their backs were toward the temple and their faces were toward the east, and they were bowing down to [worship] the sun [as it rose] in the east.
17 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Amo dia ba: sala: ? Yuda fi dunu da wadela: i hou di da waha ba: i, amola bidi hamosu bagadedafa ilia soge ganodini hamonanebe. Be ilia hanai da hame gumiba: le, ilia da amo wadela: i hou Na Debolo diasu ganodini hamonanebe. Amaiba: le, Na da baligiliwane mi hanasa. Ba: ma! Ilia da Nama bagadewane lasogosa.
He said to me, “You human, you see [RHQ] what they are doing. [Do you think that] it is not important that these men of Judah are doing these detestable things here? [But they are doing other terrible things]. They are acting violently throughout their country, and continually causing me to be angry. Look at them! They are insulting me by their actions [IDM]!
18 Ilia da Na gasa bagade ougi hou nabimu. Na da ilima mae asigili se dabe imunu. Ilia da Nama ha: giwane sia: ne gadomu, be Na da ilia sia: hame nabimu.
So I will show them that I am very angry. I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. And even if they shout to me [to help them], I will not pay attention to them.”
