Aisaia 13
1 Gode da Ba: bilone fi ilima fa: no misunu hou olelema: ne, amo sia: Aisaia (A: imose egefe) ema adosi,
[I], Isaiah, the son of Amoz, received [from Yahweh] this message about Babylon [city]:
2 “Goumi gadodili, gegesu eso gosa: gisu gaguia gadole gosa: gisima. Dadi gagui dunu ilima wele sia: ma! Ilia da gasa fi moilaiga doagala: musa: dawa: digima: ne, dia lobo ligia gadoma.
Lift up a flag on the bare [top of a] hill, to signal [that an army should come to attack Babylon]. Shout to them and wave your hand [to signal to them] that they should march through the city gates into the palaces of the proud [rulers of Babylon]!
3 Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilia ha lai ilima ougiba: le, E da gasa fi dadi gagui amo da hadigi gegesu ilima hamoma: ne, Ea dadi gagui amo misa: ne wele sia: i dagoi.
[Yahweh says], “I have commanded those soldiers to do that; I have summoned the warriors whom I have chosen to punish [the people of Babylon] because of my being very angry with them, and those soldiers will be very proud [when they do that].”
4 Nabima! Goumiga da ha lasu bagade naba. Amo da dunu bagohame gilisisa. Amo da fifi asi gala amola hina bagade ilia fi bagohame da gegemusa: gilisisa. Hina Gode, Dadi Gagui Ouligisudafa, da Ea dadi gagui gegemusa: momagesa.
Listen to the noise on the mountains, which is the noise of a huge army marching! It is the noise made by people of many people-groups shouting. The Commander of the armies of angels has summoned this army to gather together.
5 Ilia soge sedaga amo osobo bagade bega: esala, amoga maha. Hina Gode da ougi bagadeba: le, Ba: bilone soge huluane gugunufinisimusa: dawa: lala.
They come from countries that are far away, from the most remote places [IDM] on the earth. They are [like] [SIM] weapons that Yahweh will use [to punish the people with whom] he is very angry, and to destroy the entire country [of Babylonia].
6 Se nababeba: le, ha: giwane huma! Hina Gode Ea Esodafa da gadenesa. Amo esoga, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da liligi huluane gugunufinisimu.
[You people of Babylon] will scream because you will be terrified, because it will be the time that Yahweh [has determined/chosen], the time for the all-powerful [God] to destroy [your city].
7 Dunu huluane ilia lobo da bodola: mu. Huluane da beda: i bagade ba: mu.
All of your people will be very afraid [DOU], with the result that they will be unable even to lift their arms.
8 Ilia huluane beda: ne, se nabasu amo uda da mano lalelegemu gadenesea, se nababe amo defele ilia da se nabimu. Ilia da dunu eno dunu eno beda: iwane ba: lalu, ilia da gogosiabeba: le, ilia odagi da gia: iwane ba: mu.
All of you will be terrified. You will have [PRS] severe pains like [SIM] a woman has when she is giving birth to a baby. You will look at each other helplessly, and it will show on your faces that you feel horror.
9 Hina Gode Ea esodafa da manebe. Amoga, Ea nimi bagade ougi da ba: mu. Osobo bagade da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Amola wadela: i hamosu dunu huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
Listen to this: The day that Yahweh has appointed/chosen is near, the day that he will furiously and fiercely [punish you] because he is very angry [with you]. He will cause your land [of Babylonia] to be desolate/barren, and he will destroy [all] the sinners in it.
10 Gasumuni amola gasumuni gilisisu huluane amola da ha: ba: doi dagoi ba: mu. Eso da heda: sea, gasi agoane ba: mu amola oubi da hame hadigimu.
[When that happens], none of the stars will shine. When the sun rises, it will be dark, and there will be no light from the moon [at night].
11 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da osobo bagadega bidi hamosu imunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu dabema: ne, se imunu. Nowa da hi hou hidale gaguia gadosea, Na da fofonobomu. Amola gasa fi dunu amola dodona: gi dunu huluane ilima se dabe imunu.
[Yahweh says], “I will punish [everyone in] the world for the evil things that they do; I will punish the wicked people for the sins that they have committed. I will stop arrogant/proud people from being proud, and I will stop ruthless people from acting cruelly.
12 Gouli da osobo bagadega fonobahadi fawane ba: sa. Be amo baligili, dunu da hame bogole, esalebe, bagahamedafa ba: mu.
[And because I will cause most people to die], people will be harder to find than gold, harder to find than fine gold from Ophir [in Arabia].
13 Na da mu yagugumu, amola osobo bagade yagugubiba: le, e da ea sogebi yolesimu. Bai amo esoga, Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da Na ougi hou olelemu.
I will shake the sky, and the earth will [also] move out of its place. That will happen when [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, punish [wicked people], when [I show them that] I am extremely angry [with them].
14 Ga fi dunu Ba: bilone soge ganodini esala da Ba: bilone yolesili, ilia sogedafa amoga buhagimu. Dia da benea ahoasu dunu amoga hobeasa, amola sibi amo da ouligisu dunu hameba: le afafasa, amo defele ilia afafane hobeamu.
And all [the foreigners in Babylon will run around] like [SIM] deer that are being hunted, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. They will try to find other people from their countries, and [then] they will escape [from Babylon] and return to their own countries.
15 Dadi gagui dunu da nowa gagulaligisia, amo ilia gobihei amoga sone fane legemu.
Anyone who is captured [in Babylon] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords [DOU].
16 Ilia da udigili ba: lalu, ilia dudubu fane legei dagoi ba: mu, amola ilia diasu liligi huluane lai dagoi amola ilia uda amo, dunu enoga wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.”
Their little children will be dashed to pieces on the rocks while [their parents] watch; [their enemies] will steal everything valuable from their houses and will rape their wives.
17 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Midi dunu ilia dogo ganodini olelelalebeba: le, ilia da Ba: bilone soge dunu ilima doagala: mu. Ilia da silifa amola gouli da hamedei liligi agoane dawa: sa.
Look! I am going to incite the people of Media to attack Babylon. The [army of Media] will attack Babylon, even if they are offered [DOU] silver or gold [if they promise to not attack it].
18 Ilia oulali amola dadi amoga ayeligi dunu medole legemu. Ilia da dudubu amola mano fonobahadi ilima hame asigimu.
[With] their arrows, the [soldiers of Media] will shoot the young men [of Babylon]; they will not [even] act mercifully [DOU] toward infants or children!”
19 Ba: bilone ea ida: iwane ba: su da soge huluane eno ilia ba: su baligisa. Ba: bilone dunu da gasa fili, ilia soge hahawane ba: sa. Be Na, Hina Gode da Sodame amola Goumola amo wadela: lesi, amo defele Ba: bilone gugunufinisimu.
Babylon has been a very beautiful [MTY] city; [all] the people of Babylonia have been very proud of Babylon, [their capital city]; [but] God will destroy Babylon, like [SIM] he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 Dunu da amo soge ganodini bu hamedafa fimu. A: la: be dunu udigili lalebe, da ea abula diasu amo ganodini hame gagumu, amola sibi ouligisu afae da amo soge ganodini ea sibi gisi manusa: hame oule masunu.
No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted forever. (Nomads/People who travel from place to place to live) will refuse to set up their tents there; shepherds will not bring their flocks of sheep to rest there.
21 Be Ba: bilone soge amo ganodini da hafoga: i soge ohe fi fawane esalebe ba: mu, amola gasia lalebe sio fawane ilia bibia gagumu. “Osadaligi” sio da amogawi esalebe ba: mu, amola sigua goudi da ilia moilai mugului amo ganodini hehenamu.
Instead, animals that live in the desert will be there; jackals/wolves will live in [the ruins of] the houses. Owls (OR, Ostriches) will live in [the ruins], and wild goats will romp/jump around [there].
22 Ba: bilone ea sedade diasu gagula heda: i amola hina bagade diasu amo ganodini ‘hayina’ ohe amola ‘ya: ga: le’ ohe ilia dibi fawane nabimu. Ba: bilone ea wadela: mu eso da doaga: i dagoi. Amo soge ea wadela: mu eso da gadenesa.”
Hyenas will howl in the [ruined] towers, and jackals/wolves will make their dens in [the ruins of] the palaces that [were previously] very beautiful. The time when [Babylon will be destroyed] is very near; Babylon will not exist much longer.
