1 Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dilia sedaga soge fi! Ouiya: ma! Na sia: nabima! Dilia fofada: su diasu ganodini sia: ma: ne, dilia fofada: su sia: momagema. Dilia da bu sia: mu logo ba: mu. Dilia amola Na da moloidafa hou dawa: ma: ne, fofada: mu da defea.
Be silent [and hearken] unto me, O ye Coastlands, And let the Races of Men renew their strength, —Let them approach, then, let them speak, Together, for controversy, let us draw near: —
2 Nowa da gusugoe amoga hasalasu dunu oule misibela: ? Nowa da soge huluane e da asi amoga ema hasalasu hou iabela: ? E da hina bagade amola fifi asi gala ilima hasanasima: ne, nowa da ema hasalasu hou iabela: ? Ea gobihei amoga e da fifi asi gala dunu osobo su defele wadela: sa. Ea dadi amoga gala: beba: le, ilia da gisi da foga afafasu defele afafasa.
Who roused up one from the East, In righteousness, called him to his feet, —Set before him nations And over kings, caused him to rule, His sword, made [them] like dust, His bow like driven chaff:
3 E da ilia hobeasu amoma fa: no bobogesa amola mogodigili ahoa. E da hehenabeba: le, gadenenewane hagili ahoa.
He pursued them passed along safely, —Upon the path of his own feet, entered he not?
4 Nowa da amo hou misa: ne hamobela: ? Nowa da osobo bagade hou huluane ouligibala: ? Na, Hina Gode, da osobo bagade hemosu eso amoga esalebe ba: i, amola Na, Hina Gode da osobo bagade wadela: mu eso amoga esalebe ba: mu.
Who hath wrought and performed, Calling the generations, in advance? I, Yahweh, [who am] First, And with them who are last, I, am the Same!
5 Soge sedaga fi dunu da Na hamobe ba: beba: le, bagadewane beda: beba: le, yagugusa. Amaiba: le, ilia huluane da gilisili, maha.
Coastlands have seen, so they fear, The ends of the earth, are in dread, —They have drawn near, and have come:
6 Liligi hahamosu dunu ilia enoenoi fidisa amola dogo denesisa.
Every man, to his neighbour, giveth help, —And to his brother, saith Take courage!
7 Ifa hahamosu dunu da gouli hahamosu dunuma, “Dia da noga: le hamoi,” sia: sa. Dunu amo da ‘gode’ agoaila enemema: ne hamosu da dunu amo da ‘gode’ agoaila gafesiga dabagala: sa amoma dogo denesima: ne sia: sa. Ilia da amane sia: sa, “Gouli madelagisu da defea.” Amasea, ilia da amo loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ea sogebi dialoma: ne, amo gafesiga dabagala: sa.
So, the carver, hath encouraged, the goldsmith, he that maketh smooth with the hammer, him that smiteth the anvil, —Saying of the welding, It is, good, Then hath he fastened it with nails—it must not totter!
8 Be di, Isala: ili, Na hawa: hamosu dunu. Dilia da Na fi dunu Na da ilegei dagoi. Dilia da Na dogolegei A: ibalaha: me, amo egaga fi esala.
But, thou, Israel, my Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, —The seed of Abraham my loving one;
9 Na da dili osobo bagade bega: bega: amoga dilima wele sia: nanu, oule misini, gilisi. Na da dilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da Na hawa: hamosu dunu. Na da dili hame higasu, be dili Na fi hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi.
Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, And from the extremities thereof, have called thee, —And said to thee, My Servant, thou! I have chosen thee and not cast thee off,
10 Mae beda: ma! Ani esala. Na da dilia Gode! Liligi huluane amoma mae beda: ma. Na da dilima gasa imunu amola dili fidimu. Na da dili gaga: mu.
Do not fear, for with thee, I am! Look not around, for, I, am thy God, —I have emboldened thee, Yea I have helped thee, Yea I have upheld thee with my righteous right-hand.
11 Dilia da nowa da dilima ougi galea, ilima hasanasibiba: le, ilia da gogosiamu. Nowa da dilima gegesea da bogole,
Lo! they shall turn pale and be ashamed—All they who have been incensed against thee, —They shall become as nothing and perish—The men who have been thine accusers:
12 osobo bagadega bu hame ba: ma: ne alalolesimu.
Thou shalt seek them, but shalt not find them—The men who have contended with thee, They shall become as nothing, and as a thing of nought—The men who have warred against thee;
13 Na da Hina Gode amo dilia Gode. Na da dilima gasa iaha amola dilima amane sia: sa, “Mae beda: ma! Na da dili fidimu.”
For I, Yahweh thy God am firmly grasping thy right-hand, —Who am saying unto thee Do not fear! I, have become thy helper!
14 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi! Dilia da fonobahadi fi amola gasa hame galebe. Be mae beda: ma! Na da dili fidimu. Na, Isala: ili fi ilia Hadigi Gode, Na da dilia gaga: su dunu esala.
Do not fear, Thou worm Jacob, Ye men of Israel, —I, have become thy helper, Declareth Yahweh, And thy redeemer The Holy One of Israel.
15 Na da dilia hou afadenene, widi fasu ifa agoane hamomu. Amoga sosu liligi gaheabolo amola agei dagoi agoane ba: mu. Amoga dilia da goumi amo fananu, wadela: lesimu. Dilia da agolo goudane, ilia da osobo su agoane ba: mu.
Lo! I have made of thee a new pointed threshing sledge, owning teeth, —Thou shalt thresh mountains and crush them, And, hills—like chaff, shalt thou make:
16 Dilia da amo goumi gadodi gasa: le gadosea, ilia da foga mini asi dagoi ba: mu, amola isula bobodobe amoga afafai dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, dilia da hahawane ba: mu. Bai Na da dilia Gode esala. Dilia da Na, Isala: ili fi ilia Hadigi Gode, Nama nodomu.
Thou shalt fan them and, a wind, shall carry them away, And, a whirlwind, scatter, them, —But, thou, shalt exult in Yahweh, And, in the Holy One of Israel, shalt thou boast thyself.
17 Na fi dunu da hano hanaiba: le, hano hogosea, ilia asogoa da hafoga: i galea, Na, Hina Gode da ilia sia: ne gadosu amoma bu adole imunu. Na, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da ili hamedafa yolesimu.
As for the oppressed and the needy. Seeking water when there is none, Their tongue with thirst being parched I—Yahweh, will answer them, The God of Israel, I will not forsake them:
18 Na da hafog: ai agolo sogega, hano yogosa: ima: ne hamomu. Amola hafoga: i soge ganodini, gu hano hamomu. Na da hafoga: i soge afadenene, bu hano wayabo hamomu. Amola hafoga: i soge gu hano bubuga: su hamomu.
I will open, On bare hills rivers, and In the midst of plains, fountains, —I will make The desert, a lake of water, and Parched land, springs of water;
19 Dolo ifa amola “aga: isia” ifa amola “medili” ifa da hafoga: i soge ganodini heda: lalebe ba: mu. “Baine” ifa amola “yuniba” ifa amola “saibalase” ifa da hafoga: i sogega heda: mu.
I will set in the desert! Cedar, acacia, and myrtle, and oil-tree, —I will place, in the waste plain, Cypress, holm-oak, and sherbin-cedar, together
20 Dunu da amo hou ba: beba: le, ilia da Na, Hina Gode, da amo hou hamoi dagoi, dawa: mu. Ilia da Isala: ili fi ilia Hadigi Gode da amo hou hamoi dagoi ba: mu.” Hina Gode da Ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima Fofada: sa
That men may see and observe and consider and understand at once, That, the hand of Yahweh, hath done this, That the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 Hina Gode, Isala: ili ilia Hina bagade, da amane sia: sa, “Dilia fifi asi gala ‘gode’ liligi! Dilia hou gaga: ma: ne Nama fofada: ma! Sia: gasa bagade dilia hou gaga: ma: ne fofada: ma!
Bring near your contention, Saith Yahweh, —Advance your defences, Saith the King of Jacob:
22 Misa! Amola hobea misunu hou ba: la: loma! Amo dilia sia: i liligi da doaga: sea, amo ea bai ninia dawa: ma: ne, ninima olelema. Musa: hamoi liligi amo fofada: su dunuma olelema amola amo ea dawa: loma: ne ninima olelema.
Let them advance them, and tell us, What shall happen, —Things known in advance—what they were, tell ye, That we may lay them to our heart and mark the after-story of them, Or, things yet to come, let us hear:
23 Hobea misunu hou ninima olelema. Amasea, dilia da dafawane ‘gode’ esala, amo ninia da dawa: mu. Hou noga: iwane hamoma o ninia baligiliwane beda: ma: ne, wadela: lesisu liligi afae hamoma!
Tell ye the events which shall be here-after, That we may perceive that gods, ye are, —Surely ye must do something—good or bad, That we may be amazed and behold it, at once.
24 Dili amola dilia hamonana huluane da hamedei liligi. Dunu amo da dilima nodone sia: ne gadosa, amo da gogosiasu wadela: idafa.
Lo! ye, are, of nought, And your work is a puff of breath, —An abomination, he that chooseth you!
25 Na da dunu amo da gusugoe esala, amo e ilegei dagoi. E da gagoe (north) amoga doagala: musa: misunu. E da ouligisu dunu amo ososa: gisa. Ilia da fafu agoai ba: sa, amola e da osoboga ofodo hamosu dunu Amo da fafu ososa: gisa agoane ba: sa.
I have roused up one from the North, and he hath come, From the rising of the sun, calleth he on my Name, —And he hath come, on deputies, as though they were mortar, And as a potter treadeth clay.
26 Amo hou da doaga: ma: ne, dilia gilisisu ganodini, da nowa ba: la: lobala: ? Dilia da amo sia: sia: noba, ninia da dilia da dafawane sia: i dawa: la: loba. Be dilia huluane da hamedafa sia: i. Dunu afae da dilia amane sia: i, hamedafa nabi.
Who hath told in advance, that we might know, And beforetime, that we might say Right! Nay, there is none who can tell. Nay, there is none who can let us hear, Nay, there is none who can understand what ye utter.
27 Na, Hina Gode, da hidadea Saione fi ilima amo sia: olelei. Na da sia: ne iasu dunu Yelusaleme dunu fi hahawane sia: adoma: ne asunasi. Na da ilima amane adole iasi, ‘Dilia fi da ilia sogedafa amoga bu manebe.’
He who is First, [can say], To Zion, Lo! there they are! And to Jerusalem, A herald of good-tidings, do I give.
28 Be Na da ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi amo ganodini hogoi helebeba: le, moloi sia: su hamedafa ba: i. Ilia da Na adole ba: su amoma bu adole imunu gogolei galu.
So I look, And there is not, a Man! Even among these And there is none to advise, —That, when I ask them, can answer a word.
29 Amo ‘gode’ liligi da hamedeidafa. Ilia da hawa: hamomu gogolesa. Ilia da gasa hamedafa.”
Lo! as to all of them, Vanity—nothingness, are their works, Wind and emptiness, their molten images!
