Aisaia 44
1 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi! Na hawa: hamosu dunu! Na ilegei fi, Ya: igobe egaga fi! Nabima!
Now, then—hear, O Jacob, my Servant, —and Israel whom I have chosen:
2 Na da Hina Gode. Na da dili hahamoi. Dilia lalelegei eso amola fa: no Na da dili fidisu. Mae beda: ma! Dilia da Na hawa: hamosu dunu amola Na dogolegei, ilegei dunu fi.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Who made thee and formed thee from birth, Who helpeth thee: Do not fear O my Servant Jacob, and Jeshurun whom I have chosen;
3 Na da hano hanai soge amoga hano imunu. Amola hafoga: i soge amo da: iya hano masa: ne hamomu. Na da Na gasa amo dilia mano ilima sogadigimu, amola diligaga fi ilima Na hahawane dogolegele iasu imunu.
For I will pour, Water upon the thirsty soil, and Floods upon the dry ground, —I will pour My spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring;
4 Ilia da gisi amoga ilia da hano bagade iaha, agoaiwane alemu. Amola yodima ifa amo da hano gadenene lelebe agoaiwane alemu.
So will they spring up among the grass, As willows by the water-courses:
5 Dunu afae afae da amane sia: mu, “Na da Hina Gode Ea dunu.” Ilia da Isala: ili fi dunu ilima gilisima: ne misunu. Ilia huluane da afae afae Hina Gode Ea dio ilia loboga dedemu, amola ilia da afae afae “Na da Gode Ea fi ganodini esala” sia: mu.
This one, will say Yahweh’s, am I, and That one, will call himself by the name of Jacob, and Yonder one will write on his hand—Yahweh’s, And after the name of Israel, will one entitle himself.
6 Hina Gode da Isala: ili ouligisa amola gaga: sa. E da Hina Gode Bagadedafa, amola E da amane sia: sa, “Na da Hemosu amola Na da Dagosu. Eno ‘gode’ da hame, Ni fawane da Godedafa.
Thus saith Yahweh—King of Israel, Even his Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts, —I, am, First, and, I, Last, And besides me, there is no God.
7 Eno dunu da Na hamobe defele hamomu ganabela: ? Nowa da hou degabo hamoi asili, Fifi Ahoanusu amoga doaga: le, nowa da amo hou ba: ma: ne defele esalabala? Hamedei!
Who then, like me, can call, and declare it, and order it, for me, Seeing that I appointed an age-abiding people, —Or things yet to be, and that shall come to pass, Let them declare on their part.
8 Na fi dunu! Mae beda: ma! Dilia dawa: ! Musa: hemoneganini, amo eso huluane ganodini hou Na da ba: la: lalu sia: i dagoi. Amola dilia da Na ba: su dunu. Eno ‘gode’ esalabala? Gasa bagade ‘gode’ amo Na da hame nabi, agoaiwane esalabala? Hame mabu!
Do not ye dread, nor yet be alarmed, Have I not from olden time, told thee and declared? So that, ye, are my witnesses, —Whether there is a GOD besides me? Or is no Rock—I knew of none!
9 Nowa dunu da ‘gode’ liligi loboga hamosa da hamedei. Amola, ‘gode’ liligi amoga ilia nodosa, amo amola da hamedei. Nowa da amo ‘gode’ liligi ilima nodone sia: ne gadosea da si dofoi agoane amola hame dawa: su dunu. Ilia da gogosiasu ba: mu.
The fashioners of an image—all of them, are emptiness, And, the things they delight in, cannot profit, —And, their, witnesses, they, neither see nor know, That they may be ashamed.
10 Dilia da ouli amoga loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadoma: ne hamomu da defea hame galebe.
Who hath fashioned a GOD, Oran image, hath molten? It cannot profit!
11 Nowa da agoaiwane liligi amoma nodone sia: ne gadosea da gogosiasu ba: mu. Dunu amo da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ hamosa da osobo bagade dunu fawane. Ilia da misini, fofada: mu da defea. Amasea, ilia beda: mu amola gogosiamu.
Lo! all his partners, turn pale, Even, the artificers themselves, are of the sons of earth, —Let them gather themselves together—all of them. Let them take their stand, Let them dread, and turn pale, together!
12 Ouli hahamosu dunu da ouli afae lale, laluga gobele hahamosa. E da ea gasa lobo amoga ouli ha: maga fane, hahamosa. E da hawa: hamobeba: le, ha: i naba amola hano hanasa hele naba.
As for the smith, [with his] cutting-tool, —When he hath wrought in the live coals, And, with hammers, hath fashioned it, —And hath wrought it with his strong arm, Anon he is hungry, and hath no strength, He hath drunk no water and so hath become faint!
13 Diasu gagusu dunu da ifa ea defei ba: sa. E da dunu ea da: i hodo defele amo ifaga dedesa. E da gobihei amoga ifa sagane, e da amo ifa hamone, dunu noga: i ea da: i hodo agoane hamone, ea diasu ganodini ligisisa.
As for the carpenter, —He hath stretched out a line hath drawn it with a pencil, Hath made it with carving tools, With compasses, hath rounded it, —And so hath made it after the figure of a great man, After the beauty of a son of earth, that it may remain in a house!
14 E da dolo ifa abasea, hamosa. O e da “saibalase” o “ouge” ifa amoga hamosa. O e da “lolele” ifa bugili, gibu dasea amo ifa alema: ne ouesala.
When one was cutting him down cedars, Then took he a holm-tree and an oak, And secured them for himself, among the trees of the forest, —He planted a fir-tree and the pouring rain made it grow;
15 Ifa abasea, e da la: idi lale, lalu didisa. Eno la: idi amoga e da ‘gode’ agoaila hamosa. La: idi afae e da ea da: i dogoloma: ne amola ea ha: i manu gobema: ne, e da lalu didisa. Eno la: idi amoga e da ‘gode’ liligi hamone, amoma nodone sia: ne gadosa.
So it serveth for a man to burn, And he hath taken of the branches and warmed himself, Also he kindleth a fire, and baketh bread, —Also he maketh a GOD, and hath bowed himself down, Hath made of it a carved image, and adored it:
16 Amo ifa mogili e da lalu didili, ohe hu gobele nanu, sadi ba: sa. E da ea da: i dogolole, amane sia: sa, “Defea! Na da hahawane noga: le dogoloi dagoi.”
The half thereof, hath he burned in the fire, Over half thereof, he eateth flesh, He roasteth roast, that he may be satisfied, —Also he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen a blaze;
17 Be ifa la: idi eno amoga e da ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi hamone, amoma beguduli nodone sia: ne gadosa. E da amo liligi amoga sia: ne gadole, amane sia: sa, “Di da na ‘gode’. Dia na gaga: ma!”
And the residue thereof, Into a GOD, he maketh, Into his carved image, —Adoreth it, and boweth down and prayeth unto it, And saith Deliver me, for, my GOD, thou art!
18 Agoai dunu da gagaouiba: le, ilila: hamobe hame dawa: Ilisu da dafawane hou mae dawa: ma: ne, ilila: si wadela: sa.
They have not taken note, neither can they perceive, —He hath besmeared—past seeing—their eyes, Past understanding, their hearts;
19 Loboga hamoi ‘gode’ hamosu dunu da asigi dawa: su hame gala. E da dawa: lai ganiaba, e da amane sia: na: noba, “Ifa la: idi amoga na da lalu didi. Na da lalu nasubu amoga agi ga: gi gobei amola ohe hu gobele mai. Amo mogili diala amoga na da ‘gode’ liligi hamoi. Amola, wali na da ifa amoma fawane begudulala.”
And no one reflecteth—There is neither knowledge nor discernment—to say, Half thereof, have I burned up in the fire Moreover also I have baked, on the coals thereof, bread, I roasted flesh, and have been eating, —And of the remainder thereof, an abomination, shall I make? And, to a log of wood, shall I pay adoration?
20 Amo hou da gagaoui dunu nasubu nana agoai ba: sa, hamedei. E da ea gagaoui asigi dawa: su amoga fa: no bobogebeba: le, e fidimu hamedei agoai ba: sa. E da amo ‘gode’ (amo da ‘gode’ hame), hima sia: mu gogolesa.
He is feeding on ashes, A deluded heart, hath turned him aside, —And he cannot deliver his own soul nor say, Is there not a falsehood in my right hand?
21 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi! Amo noga: le dawa: ma! Dilia da Na hawa: hamosu dunu, amo dawa: ma! Dilia da Na hawa: hamosu dunu esaloma: ne, Na dili hahamoi. Amola, Na da dili hamedafa gogolemu.
Remember these things, O Jacob, And, Israel, —for, my Servant, thou art, —I have fashioned thee, a Servant of mine, thou art.
22 Na da dilia wadela: i hou, mu mobi agoane doga: i dagoi. Nama buhagima! Na fawane da dilia Gaga: su dunu.”
O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me, I have wiped out, As with a thick cloud, thy transgressions, And as with a broad cloud, thy sins, —Return unto me, for I have redeemed thee.
23 Dilia mu! Hahawaneba: le, ha: giwane wele sia: ma! Osobo bagade hagudu soge! Di amola wele sia: ma! Goumi amola iwila ifa huluane! Dilia amola hahawaneba: le wele sia: ma! Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu Isala: ili gaga: i dagoiba: le, Ea gasa bagade hou olelei dagoi.
Shout in triumph ye heavens for Yahweh, hath effectually wrought. Shout, O ye underparts of the earth, Ring out, Ye mountains, into cries of triumph, Thou forest, and every tree therein, —For, Yahweh, hath redeemed, Jacob, And in Israel, will he get himself glory.
24 Na da Hina Gode, dilia Gaga: su dunu. Na da dili hahamoi dagoi. Na da Hina Gode, liligi huluane Hahamosu dunu esala. Ni fawane da mu hahamoi. Na da osobo bagade hahamobeba: le, dunu eno da Na hame fidi.
Thus, saith Yahweh Who hath redeemed thee, Who hath fashioned thee from birth, —I—Yahweh, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens, alone, Spreading forth the earth, of myself;
25 Na hamobeba: le, ogogosu ba: la: lusu dunu da gagaoui ba: sa. Dunu eno da gasumuni ba: sea, hobea misunu hou olelesa, amo ilia ba: i liligi Na da afadenesa. Na da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia sia: hedofasa, amola ilia bagade dawa: su hou da gagaoui fawane, amo eno dunuma olelesa.
Frustrating the signs of praters, And, diviners, he confoundeth, —Turning wise men backwards, And their knowledge, he maketh folly;
26 Be Na hawa: hamosu dunu da hobea misunu hou olelesea, amola Na da sia: ne iasu dunu amo Na ilegesu olelema: ne asunasisia, Na da amo hobea misunu hou ba: la: lu amola amo ilegesu dafawane ba: ma: ne hamosa. Na da Yelusaleme amo ganodini dunu da bu esalumu, Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima sia: sa. Amola Yuda moilai huluane wali mugului diala, da wa: legadole bu buga: le gagui dagoi ba: mu, Na da amo sia: sa.
Establishing the word of his Servant, And the counsel of his Messengers, he maketh good, —Who saith of Jerusalem—She shall be inhabited! And of the cities of Judah—They shall be built! And the ruins thereof, will I set up!
27 Na da sia: afae fawane sia: sea, hano wayabo bagade da hafoga: i dagoi ba: sa.
Who saith to the deep—Be dry and Thy rivers, will I drain!
28 Na da Sailasema amane sia: sa, “Di da Na ouligisu dunu esalumu. Di da Na hanai hamomu. Dia sia: beba: le, Yelusaleme da bu gagui dagoi ba: mu. Amola dia sia: beba: le, Debolo Diasu ea bai da bu legei dagoi ba: mu.”
Who saith of Cyrus—My Shepherd! and All my pleasure, shall he make good Even saying of Jerusalem—She shall be built! And of the temple—Be her foundation laid!
