Aisaia 48
1 Isala: ili fi dunu! Yuda egaga fi dunu! Nabima! Dilia da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le sia: sa, amola dilia Isala: ili Gode Ema nodone sia: ne gadosa sia: sa. Be dilia sia: dafawaneyale hame sia: sa.
Listen to this, descendants of Jacob, called by the name of Israel, and who come from the lineage of Judah. Listen, you people who swear by the name of the Lord, or who invoke the God of Israel, but not truly or sincerely.
2 Be dilia gasa fili, dilia da Hadigi moilai bai bagade amo ea esalebe dunu, amola dilia da Isala: ili Gode (Ea Dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa) amo dili fidima: ne dafawaneyale dawa: , amane sia: sa.
You say you're from the “Holy City,” and claim you're trusting in the God of Israel, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
3 Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilima amane sia: sa, “Na da musa: hemonega hobea misunu hou ba: la: lu, dilima sia: i dagoi. Amalalu, hedolodafa amo hou dafawane ba: ma: ne, Na da hamoi dagoi.
I predicted long ago what was going to happen—I said it and let people know. Then suddenly I decided to act, and it all came true.
4 Dilia da hame nabasu hou, amola gasa fi hou hamomu, amo Na dawa: i galu. Dilia da ouli agoane selefamu hamedei, amola balase defele ga: nasi bagade hamomu, Na da dawa: i galu.
I know how stubborn you are, with necks as unbending as iron and foreheads as hard as bronze.
5 Amaiba: le, Na da dilima hobea misunu hou amo hemonega ba: beba: le, sia: i dagoi. Dilia da dilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ da dilia hou hahamoi dagoi, amo dilia da sia: sa: besa: le, Na da amo hou da hobea misunu, hemonega sia: i dagoi.
I predicted these things to you long ago, before they happened. I explained them to you so that you couldn't say “My idol did this,” or “My image and my metal god ordered this to happen.”
6 Be wali Na ba: la: lusu sia: i liligi huluane da hamoi dagoi ba: sa. Amola amo ba: la: lusu liligi da dafawane, dilia da wali sia: sa. Wali Na da gaheabolo hou, Na da musa: wamolegei amo hobea misunu, Na da dilima olelemu.
You've heard all I predicted, and seen it happen. Won't you admit it? Now I'm going to tell you new things, secrets you don't know anything about.
7 Na da wali hamonanebeba: le, amo hou da doaga: i. Agoanewane hou da musa: hamedafa ba: i. Amo hou da musa: ba: i ganiaba, dilia da amo hou huluane dawa: dagoi, dilia da sia: na: noba.
These are brand-new, not something from the past. Before today you won't have heard anything about them, so you can't say, “Oh yes, I know about that.”
8 Be dilia hou da moloi hame, Na dawa: i galu. Dilia da eso huluane seselesu dunu agoane esala, dunu huluane da dawa: Amaiba: le, dilia da Na hobea hamomu hou hamedafa nabi.
No, you've never heard that, and you've never known that! Nobody's told you about that before! I know how deviously you operate—you're called “rebels from birth”!
9 Dunu da Na Dio amoma nodoma: ne, Na da Na ougi dili mae wadela: lesima: ne gagusa. Na da dili hame gugunufinisimu.
But because of my nature I am delaying my punishment; and because of my reputation, I'm not going to destroy you.
10 Na da se nabasu hou lalu agoane amo ganodini, silifa ea hou adoba: su agoane, dilia hou adoba: su. Be dilia da hamedei dunu, amo Na da ba: i dagoi.
Look how I've refined you, but not like silver—I chose you in the furnace of trouble.
11 Be amo hou Na da Na Dio gaguia gadoma: ne fawane hamoi. Na Dio wadela: lesima: ne, Na da hamedafa ba: mu. Amola eno dunu da Na Hadigi gilisili lamusa: , Na da logo hamedafa doasimu. Na Hadigi da Na Nisu fawane gagusa.”
The reason I'm doing this is because of who I am, yes, because of my very nature. I won't let my reputation be damaged—I won't let anyone else have it.
12 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi dunu, Na da dili Nama misa: ne wele sia: nanu, ilegei dagoi. Na sia: nabima! Na da Gode amo Hemosu amola Dagosu, eno hame, Na da Godedafa.
Listen to me, Jacon, and Israel, the one I called. Only I am God. I am the first, and I am the last.
13 Na da osobo bagade ea bai amola mu amo Na loboga hamoi. Na da osobo bagade amola mu Nama misa: ne sia: sea, ilia da hedolo Nama misini gousa: sa.
I laid the foundations of the earth with my own hands; I personally spread out the heavens. When I call the stars, they all take their positions.
14 Dilia huluane gilisima amola nabima! Na ilegei dunu da Na hanai defele Ba: bilone doagala: mu. Eno ‘gode’ liligi afae da amo hou ba: la: lumu hamedei.
Everyone gather round and listen. Which of your “gods” told you anything like this? The one the Lord loves will carry out the Lord's wishes against Babylon—he will attack the Babylonians.
15 Na fawane da ema sia: i, amola ema misa: ne sia: i. Na da e gadili masa: ne oule asi, amola e didili hamoma: ne, Na fawane da ea logo fodoi.
I myself have spoken. I have called him to do this, and he will be successful in what he does.
16 Wali, Nama gadenena misa, amola Na sia: nabima. Hemonega amola fa: no Na da mae wamolegele, sia: moloidafa sia: i. Amola Na sia: sia: i da Na hamobeba: le, dafawane hamoi ba: i.” (Wali Hina bagade Gode Ouligisudafa da Ea gasa nama ianu, na asunasi dagoi.)
Come close to me, and listen to this. From the very beginning I haven't spoken in secret; I am always there right when it happens. Now the Lord God and his Spirit has sent me to tell you this:
17 Isala: ili Hadigi Gode, dilia Gaga: su, da amane sia: sa, “Na da Hina Gode, dilia Gode! Na da dilia hou noga: ma: ne dilima olelesa amola dilia noga: le masa: ne logo olelesa.
This is what the Lord says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord your God. I am the one who teaches you what is good for you, who leads you along the way you should go.
18 Dilia da na sia: noga: le nabi ganiaba, dilima hahawane hou hano da hafoga: su hame dawa: , amo defele dilima doaga: la: loba. Amola hasalasu hou hano wayabo bagade gafului da hano bega: doaga: sa, amo defele dilima doaga: la: loba.
If you had only listened carefully to what I told you! Then your blessings would have flowed like a river, and goodness would have washed over you like the waves of the sea.
19 Amola dilia agoane hamoi ganiaba, diligaga fi ilia idi da sa: iboso ea idi defele ba: la: loba amola ilia hamedafa gugunufinisimu Na da hamonana: noba.”
Your children, your descendants, would have been like all those grains of sand. They wouldn't have had to be destroyed, wiped out before me.
20 Dilia! Ba: bilone soge fisili, hahawane gadili masa. Amo sia: hahawane wele sia: ma. Dunu huluane nabima: ne, hahawane agoane sia: mu, “Hina Gode da Ea hawa: hamosu dunu fi Isala: ili, amo gaga: i dagoi.”
Leave Babylon! Run away from Babylonia with happy shouts! Let everyone know, telling the whole earth, “The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
21 Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu amo gia: i bagade hafoga: i soge amo ganodini oule ahoanoba, ilia da hano hanai hame ba: i. Ea hamobeba: le, hano da igi amoga yogosa: i. E da igi oudahida: le, hano da amo ganodini misi.
They weren't thirsty when he led them through the desert—he made water come out of the rock for them. He split the rock open and water poured out.
22 Wadela: i hamosu dunu da gaga: su hame ba: mu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.
The wicked have no peace, says the Lord.
