< Aisaia 40 >
1 Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu ilia dogo denesima. Ilia dogo denesima!
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.
2 Yelusaleme fi dunu ilia dogo denesima: ne olelema! Ilia da se nabasu defele nabi dagoi amola ilia wadela: i hou da gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi, amo ilima olelema. Na da ilia wadela: i hou defele, ilima se iasu defele i dagoi.”
“Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed; her iniquity has been pardoned. For she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.”
3 Wesu sia: da agoane naba, “Dilia iwila amo ganodini, Hina Gode masa: ne, logo fodoma. Hafoga: i soge amo ganodini ninia Gode da masa: ne, ahoasu noga: le moloma.
A voice of one calling: “Prepare the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
4 Fago huluane nabama. Goumi huluane mugululi, umi agoane hamoma. Agolo da bu umi agoane ba: mu. Amola soge fofagoi huluane da bu fa: i dagoi agoane ba: mu.
Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low; the uneven ground will become smooth, and the rugged land a plain.
5 Amasea, osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da Hina Gode Ea Hadigi ba: mu. Bai Hina Gode da amo hou ilegele sia: i dagoi.”
And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it.
6 Wesu sia: eno da agoane naba, “Sia: ne iasu sia: ma!” Na da amane adole ba: sa, ‘Na da adi sia: ne iasu sia: ma: bela?’ Agoane sia: ne iasu olelema. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da gisi agoane amola ilia da ifa mosoi defele, hedolowane biosa.
A voice says, “Cry out!” And I asked, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field.
7 Hina Gode da fo ili fama: ne iasisia, gisi mosoi da biosa amola wadela: sa. Osobo bagade dunu da gisi mosoi biobe defele, hedolo biosa.
The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.
8 Dafawane! Gisi mosoi da biosa amola falegai da wadela: sa. Be Gode Ea sia: da mae mugululi, dialalalumu.”
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
9 Yelusaleme fi! Goumi sedade amoba: le heda: le, sia: ida: iwane gala olelema. Saione dunu! Sia: ida: iwane, ha: giwane wele sia: ma. Mae beda: iwane ha: gi wele sia: ma. Yuda moilai huluane ilia Gode da manebe, agoane ilima olelema.
Go up on a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Raise your voice loudly, O Jerusalem, herald of good news. Lift it up, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”
10 Hina Gode Ouligisudafa da gasa bagadewane, ouligima: ne misunu. E masea, E da dunu amo Hi gaga: i, amo oule misunu.
Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him.
11 E da sibi ouligisu defele, Ea sibi fi ouligimu. E da sibi mano gagadole, ea lobo ganodini ouga: ne, gaguli masunu. Amola ilia amelali, E da asabole oule masunu.
He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.
12 Dunu afae da hano wayabo bagade amo ea loboga gaguli, ea defei dawa: ma: bela: ? O mu amo ea sedade defei ea loboga defema: bela: ? Dunu afae da faigelei ganodini, osobo bagade ea su salima: bela: ? O dioi defei ba: su amoga goumi amola agolo ilia dioi defei amo ba: ma: bela: ?
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?
13 Dunu afae da Hina Godema agoane hamoma: ia olelemusa: dawa: bela: ? Nowa da Ema olelemusa: dawa: bela: o Ema fada: i sia: musa: dawa: bela: ?
Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or informed Him as His counselor?
14 Gode da dawa: lamusa: amola hawa: hamosu hamomusa: , E da nowama adole ba: sala: ?
Whom did He consult to enlighten Him, and who taught Him the paths of justice? Who imparted knowledge to Him and showed Him the way of understanding?
15 Hina Gode Ea siga ba: sea da fifi asi gala huluane da hamedei liligi hano afae dadibi defele ba: sa. Ilia da oga sedagaga diala, osobo su hagiwane defele ba: sa.
Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales; He lifts up the islands like fine dust.
16 Ohe fi huluane Lebanone iwila ganodini esala da Godema gobele salasu hamoma: ne defele hame ba: sa. Amola Lebanone ifa huluane da amo gobele salasu hamoma: ne, lalu didimusa: habemu defele hame ba: sa.
Lebanon is not sufficient for fuel, nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.
17 Fifi asi gala huluane da Ema hamedei liligi.
All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness.
18 Ninia Gode da nowama defele sia: ma: bela: ? Dilia da Ea hou habodane olelema: bela: ?
To whom will you liken God? To what image will you compare Him?
19 E da ‘gode’ amo hawa: hamosu dunu da ilia loboga hamosa, amo ouli hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da gouliga dedebosa amola silifa bai amoga legesa, Gode da agoaiwane liligi hame!
To an idol that a craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
20 Dunu da silifa amola gouli bidi lamu amo da hamedei ba: sea, e da ifa hame dasamu liligi lasa. E da bagade dawa: su hawa: hamosu dunu hogoi helesea, amo dunu ‘gode’ hame dafamu liligi ea loboga hamoma: ne sia: sa.
To one bereft of an offering who chooses wood that will not rot, who seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple?
21 Dilia da hame dawa: bela: ? Ilia da hemonega dilima hame olelebela: ? Dilia da osobo bagade ea muni hemosu amo hame nabibala: ?
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the foundation of the earth?
22 Dunu amo Ea Fisu da osobo bagade amola mu amoga gadodili diala, amo da: iya fibi Dunu da osobo bagade hahamoi dagoi. Hagudu osobo bagade dunu da fonobahadi gedama agoane ba: sa. Gode da mu amo abula agoane fadegale moloi. Amola dunu esalebe abula diasu agoane hamoi dagoi.
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
23 E da gasa bagade ouligisu dunu amo hedofale, ilia hamedei liligi agoai ba: ma: ne hamosa.
He brings the princes to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth meaningless.
24 Ilia da bugi liligi sono, difi hame sa: i agoai ba: sa. Amasea, Hina Gode da fo iasisia, ilia da biole, bioi gisi agoai foga mini asi dagoi ba: sa.
No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner have their stems taken root in the ground, than He blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like stubble.
25 Hadigi Gode da nowama defema: bela: ? Dunu eno da E defele esalabala? Hame mabu!
“To whom will you liken Me, or who is My equal?” asks the Holy One.
26 Muagado ba: ma! Gasumuni dilia da ba: sa! Nowa da amo hahamobela: ? Fedege agoane, E da gasumuni dadi gagui gilisisu defele, ilima bisili, oule ahoa. E da ilia idi dawa: , amola E da ilia dio afae afae amoga ilima wele sia: sa. Ea gasa da bagadedafa. Gasumuni afae da fisi dagoi hamedafa ba: sa.
Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
27 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu, dilia abuliba: le egasala: ? Dilia abuliba: le, Hina Gode da dilia bidi hamosu hame dawa: , amola dilima moloi hame hamosu hou amoma E da hame asigisa, dilia abuliba: le egane sia: sala: ?
Why do you say, O Jacob, and why do you assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my claim is ignored by my God”?
28 Dilia hame dawa: bela: ? Dilia hame nabibala: ? Hina Gode da eso huluane Esalalalusu Godedafa. E da osobo bagade hahamoi dagoi. E da helesu hame dawa: Dunu afae da Ea asigi dawa: su dawa: mu da hamedei.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; His understanding is beyond searching out.
29 E da nowa da gasa hame amola helebe, ilima gasa iaha.
He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.
30 Dunu huluane amola da: i hame hamoi dunu da helebeba: le, gasa hame laha. Ayeligi dunu da helebeba: le, dafasu dawa:
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.
31 Be nowa da Hina Gode Ea fidima: ne dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le aligisia, da ilia gasa bu gaheabolo hamoi dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da buhiba ea ougia hagili ahoabe defele wa: le masunu. Ilia da hehenabeba: le, hame helemu. Ilia da ahoasea, gasa hame hou hame dawa: mu.
But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
