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 listen, 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.
This is what Yahweh says, he who made you and formed you in the womb and who will help you: “Do not fear, Jacob my servant; and you, 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 on the thirsty ground, and flowing streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your children.
4 Ilia da gisi amoga ilia da hano bagade iaha, agoaiwane alemu. Amola yodima ifa amo da hano gadenene lelebe agoaiwane alemu.
They will spring up among the grass, like willows by the streams of water.
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.
One will say, 'I belong to Yahweh,' and another will call out the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand 'Belonging to Yahweh,' and name himself by the name of Israel.”
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.
This is what Yahweh says—the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts: “I am the first, and I am the last; and there is no God but me.
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 is like me? Let him announce it and explain to me the events that occurred since I established my ancient people, and let them declare the events to come.
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 fear or be afraid. Have I not declared to you long ago, and announced it? You are my witnesses: Is there any God besides me? There is no other Rock; I know 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.
All who fashion idols are nothing; the things they delight in are worthless; their witnesses cannot see or know anything, and they will be put to shame.
10 Dilia da ouli amoga loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadoma: ne hamomu da defea hame galebe.
Who would form a god or cast an idol that is worthless?
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.
Look, all his associates will be put to shame; the craftsmen are only men. Let them take their stand together; they will cower and be put to shame.
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.
The smith works with his tools, forming it, working over the coals. He shapes it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength wanes; he drinks no water and becomes 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.
The carpenter measures the wood with a line, and marks it with a stylus. He shapes it with his tools and marks it out with a compass. He shapes it after the figure of a man, like an attractive human, so it may stay 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.
He cuts down cedars, or chooses a cypress tree or an oak tree. He picks for himself trees in the forest. He plants a fir tree and the rain makes 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.
Then a man uses it for a fire and warms himself. Yes, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Then he makes from it a god and bows down to it; he makes an idol and bows down to 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.”
He burns part of the wood for the fire, roasting his meat over it. He eats and is satisfied. He warms himself and says, “Ah, I am warm, I have seen the fire.”
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!”
With the rest of the wood he makes a god, his carved image; he bows down to it and reverences it, and prays to it saying, “Rescue me, for you are my god.”
18 Agoai dunu da gagaouiba: le, ilila: hamobe hame dawa: Ilisu da dafawane hou mae dawa: ma: ne, ilila: si wadela: sa.
They do not know, nor do they understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see, and their hearts cannot perceive.
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.”
No one thinks, nor do they comprehend and say, “I have burned part of the wood in the fire; yes, I have also baked bread upon its coals. I have roasted meat over its coals and eaten. Now should I make the other part of the wood into something disgusting to worship? Should I bow down to a block of wood?”
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.
It is as if he were eating ashes; his deceived heart misleads him. He cannot rescue himself, nor does he say, “This thing in my right hand is a false god.”
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.
Think about these things, Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant: I have formed you; you are my servant: Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 Na da dilia wadela: i hou, mu mobi agoane doga: i dagoi. Nama buhagima! Na fawane da dilia Gaga: su dunu.”
I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your rebellious deeds, and like a cloud, your sins; return to me, for I have redeemed you.
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.
Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done this; shout, you depths of the earth. Break out into singing, you mountains, you forest with every tree in it; for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will show his glory in Israel.
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.
This is what Yahweh says, your Redeemer, he who formed you from the womb: “I am Yahweh, who made everything, who alone stretched out the heavens, who alone fashioned the earth.
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.
I who frustrate the omens of the empty talkers and who disgrace those who read omens; I who overturn the wisdom of the wise and make their advice foolish.
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.
I, Yahweh, who confirmed the words of his servant and brings to pass the predictions of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, 'She will be inhabited,' and of the towns of Judah, 'They will be built again, and I will raise up their ruins';
27 Na da sia: afae fawane sia: sea, hano wayabo bagade da hafoga: i dagoi ba: sa.
who says to the deep sea, 'Be dry, and I will dry up your currents.'
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.”
Yahweh is the one who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd, he will do my every wish; he will decree about Jerusalem, 'She will be rebuilt,' and about the temple, 'Let its foundations be laid.'”
