Aisaia 43
1 Isala: ili fi! Hina Gode, amo da dili hahamoi, E da amane sia: sa, “Mae beda: ma! Na da dili gaga: mu! Na da dilia dio amoga dilima wele sia: i dagoi. Dili da Na:
But now this is what the Lord says to Jacob, the one who created you; to Israel, the one who formed you: “Don't be afraid! I have saved you! I have called you by name; you are mine!
2 Dilia da hano lugududafa amo ganodini ahoasea, Na amola ani masunu. Dilia bidi hamosu da dilima hame hasanasimu. Dilia lalu amo ganodini ahoasea, dilia nei dagoi hame ba: mu. Gasa bagade adoba: su hou da dilima doaga: sea, dilia da wadela: lesi dagoi hame ba: mu.
When you walk through the water, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they won't flood over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you on fire.
3 Bai Na da Hina Gode, dilia Gode. Na da Isala: ili Hadigi Gode, Na da dilia gaga: su dunu esala. Na da dili bidi lama: ne, Idibidi fi fisimu. Na da dili bidi lama: ne, Sudane amola Siba sogebi fisimu.
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt to pay for your freedom; I traded Ethiopia and Seba for you.
4 Na da dili gaga: ma: ne, fifi asi gala mogili fisimu. Bai dilia da Nama dogolegei fi. Dilia da Na dogolegei amola Na da dilima nodosa.
Because you are so valuable to me, because I honor you, and because I love you, I give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your lives.
5 Mae beda: ma! Na da ani esala. Dilia fi dunu amo soge sedagaga esala mogili da gusugoe mogili da gududili, amoga Na dili buhagima: ne oule misunu
Don't be afraid, for I am with you! I will bring you and your children from the east and the west, and gather you together.
6 Amola ga (north) fi ilima ilia da Na fi dunu bu misa: ne logo doasima: ne Na da sia: mu. Amola ga (south) fi ilima Na da Na fi ilia bu misunu logo amo mae gasima: ne sia: mu. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini Na fi dunu da esala, amoga ilia bu misunu da defea.
I will tell the north, ‘Hand them over!’ and the south, ‘Don't stop them!’ Bring my sons back from far away and my daughters from distant lands.
7 Ilia da Na fidafa dunu, amola ilia da Nama Hadigi ima: ne, Na da ili hahamoi dagoi.”
Bring back everyone who bears my name, those I created for my honor, those I formed and made.
8 Gode da amane sia: sa “Na fi dunu ilima fofada: musa: misa: ne sia: ma. Ilia da si gala be si dofoi. Ilia da ge gala, be ge ga: i agoane esala.
Bring back those who have eyes but are blind, those who have ears but are deaf.
9 Fifi asi gala huluane amo fofada: musa: misa: ne sia: ma. Ilia ‘gode’ liligi afae da hobea misunu hou dawa: bela: ? Waha hamobe amo ilia da musa: ba: la: lobala: ? Amo ogogosu ‘gode’ da ilia hou amola ili sia: da moloidafa amo olelema: ne, ilia da ba: su dunu oule misunu da defea.
Have all the nations gather together! Have all the peoples assemble! Who among them could have said this, and predict what was going to happen? Have them bring their witnesses to prove that they're right. Then have them listen, and say, ‘It's true!’
10 Isala: ili fi dunu! Dilia da Na ba: su dunu esala. Dilia da Na hou dawa: ma: ne, amola lalegaguma: ne, Na da dili Na hawa: hamosu dunu hamoma: ne, ilegei dagoi. Nisu da Godedafa. Eno ‘gode’ da hame gala. Musa: da eno ‘gode’ hame galu amola fa: no eno ‘gode’ hamedafa ba: mu.
However, you are my witnesses, the Lord declares, and my chosen servant, so that you can think about it, and believe me and understand that I am God. No god preceded me, and none will come after me.
11 Na, Nisu da Hina Godedafa. Nisu da dili gaga: musa: dawa:
I, yes I am the Lord, and there is no Savior apart from me.
12 Na da misunu hou amo ba: i dagoi, amola amo hou da doaga: beba: le. Na da dili fidimusa: misi. Ga fi ‘gode’ liligi da agoaiwane hame hamosu. Dilia da Na ba: su dunu esala.
I predicted what was going to happen, then I saved you, then I announced it—there was no foreign god among you that did this. You are my witnesses that I am God, declares the Lord.
13 Na da Godedafa esalu, amola Na fawane da Godedafa esalumu. Dunu da Na gasa amoga hobeamu da hamedei ba: sa. Amola dunu afae da Na hamobe amo afadenemu da hamedeidafa.”
I am God from the beginning. No one can snatch anybody from my hand. No one can reverse what I do.
14 Isala: ili fi ilia Hadigi Gode, amo Hina Gode dilia gaga: su dunu da amane sia: sa, “Na da dili gaga: ma: ne, dadi gagui gilisisu Ba: bilone fi ilima doagala: musa: asunasimu. Na da Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade amo ea logo ga: su mugulumu. Amola Ba: bilone fi dunu ilia halasu da sinidigili, dibi fawane nabimu.
This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: For your sake I will send attackers against Babylon and bring them down. All the Babylonians will be like fugitives, escaping in the ships they're so proud of.
15 Na da Hina Gode, dilia Hadigi Gode! Na da dili, Isala: ili fi, amo hahamoi, amola Na da dilima Hina bagade.”
I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.
16 Hemonega Hina Gode da hano wayabo bagade amo ganodini logo ahoasu hamoi. Hano gafului ganodini, E da logo hamoi.
This is what the Lord says, the one who makes a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters;
17 E da amoga gasa bagade dadi gagui ilia sa: liode amola hosi gilisisu, amo oule misini, wadela: lesi dagoi. Ilia da bu hame wa: legadoma: ne, dafai dagoi. Ilia da gamali ha: ba: dosu defele usi dagoi ba: i.
the one who brought out a great army with it horses and chariots and lay them down, never to rise again, snuffed out like a burning wick.
18 Be Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Musa: hou doaga: i amoma bagadewane mae dawa: ma.
But don't dwell on the past; don't concentrate on what happened back then.
19 Be gaheabolo hou Na da hamomu, amo noga: le ba: mu. Amo hou da wali hamonana ba: sa. Dilia da waha ba: musa: dawa: Na da iwila ganodini logo fodomu. Amogawi, Na da dilima hano imunu.
Just look at something new I'm going to do now! In fact it's started already. Can't you see it? Yes, I'm making a way through the wilderness, rivers in the desert!
20 Dunu amola sigua ohe fi da Nama nodomu. Soge wa: me amola “osadaligi” sio da Nama nodomu. Na da hafoga: i soge ganodini, hano yogosa: ima: ne hamone, Na fi ilegei dunu amoma hano imunu.
The wild animals will be grateful to me, the jackals and the owls, because I'm providing water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, so my people, my chosen people, can drink.
21 Amo dunu Nama nodoma: ne, Na da hahamoi dagoi. Amola ilia da Nama nodone gesami hea: mu.
I made this people for myself so that through their praise for me they could make me known.
22 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Be Isala: ili dunu, dilia Nama fa: no bobogelala, hele nabi dagoi. Dilia da Nama hame nodone sia: ne gadosu.
But you haven't called on me for help, Jacob. You've grown tired of me, Israel.
23 Dilia da sibi gobele salasu Nama ima: ne hame gaguli misi. Dilia da dilia gobele salasu amoga, Nama hame nodosu. Na da dilia da: i dioima: ne, hahawane dogolegele iasu amo dilima hame edegei. Amola dilia helema: ne, gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu hame edegei.
You haven't brought me sheep for burnt offerings; you haven't honored me with your sacrifices. I haven't burdened you by asking for grain offerings; I haven't tired you out by demanding incense.
24 Dilia da Nama nodoma: ne, gabusiga: manoma hame bidi lai. Amola Na sadima: ne, ohe fi ea sefe amo dilia hame gaguli misi. Be dilia da Na se nabima: ne, wadela: i hou hamosu. Amola Na helema: ne, dilia da moloi hame hou hamoi dagoi.
You haven't used your money to buy scented calamus; you have not pleased me with the fat of your sacrifices. Instead you have burdened me with your sins, and tired me out with your guilt.
25 Be Na da Gode! Na da dilia wadela: i hou amo gogolema: ne olofomusa: dawa: Bai Na da Godedafa. Na da dilia wadela: i hou gogolele, dilima bu hame fofada: mu.
I, yes I am the God who wipes out your sins because of who I am, and who doesn't remember your sins any more.
26 Ninia fofada: su diasuga masunu da defea. Dilia Nama diwaneya udidima! Dilia hou da moloidafa, amo ninia dawa: ma: ne, fofada: ma!
Remind me of the evidence so we can come to a decision together! Present your case to prove that you're right!
27 Dilia musa: hemonega aowalali da wadela: i hou hamoi. Dilia ouligisu dunu da Nama wadela: le hamoi.
Your very first father sinned, and your leaders rebelled against me.
28 Amola dilia ouligisu dunu da Na Debolo Diasuga ledo hamosu. Amaiba: le, Na da Isala: ili fi wadela: lesi. Amola eno fi dunu da ilima gadebeba: le, Na da ili hame gaga: i.
So I treated the priests of the sanctuary with contempt, and I handed Jacob over to be destroyed, and Israel to be scorned.”
