Aisaia 59
1 Hina Gode da gasa hameba: le dili gaga: mu da hamedei o ge ga: iba: le dilia fidima: ne wele sia: su nabimu gogolei, amo mae dawa: ma.
Listen to this! Yahweh’s power [MTY] is not ended/gone, with the result that he cannot save [you]. He has not become deaf [MTY], with the result that he cannot hear [you when you call to him for help].
2 Dilia da wadela: i hou hamobeba: le fawane, E da dilia wele sia: su hame naba. Amola dilia Ema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: dawa: sea, dilia wadela: i hou da dili Godema afafasa.
But, you have separated yourselves from your God by the sins that you have committed. Because of your sins, he has turned away from you, with the result that he does not pay attention to what you request him to do.
3 Dilia da ogogosu hou, amola gegesu hou, amola medole legesu hou, bagade dawa:
You do violent things [MTY] [to others], with the result that your hands are stained with their blood. You [constantly] tell [MTY] lies, and you say [MTY] evil things [about others].
4 Dilia da fofada: musa: ahoa, be moloidafa hou hame dawa: Fofada: su amo ganodini, dilia da eno dunuma baligimusa: , bagadewane ogogosa. Dilia da eno dunuma se ima: ne ilegesa.
When you accuse someone in court, what you say is not fair and it is not true. You accuse people falsely. You are [constantly] planning to cause trouble for others, and then you do those evil things that you planned.
What you plan to do to harm people [MET] is as dangerous as the eggs of a (cobra/poisonous snake), because cobras will hatch from those eggs. You trap people like [MET] spiders trap/catch insects in their webs.
6 Dilia wadela: i ilegesu da medosu saya: be ea oso defele, bogosu liligi gala. Oso goudasea, saya: be da gadili maha! Be dilia wadela: i ilegesu da dili hame fidimu. Ilia da abula amo afalea diasu amoga hamoi agoane hamedei liligi.
We people cannot hide/cover our skin with clothes made of spider webs [MET], and similarly you cannot hide the evil things that you have done. You are [constantly] acting [MTY] violently.
7 Dilia da eso huluane wadela: le hamomusa: gini ilegesa, amola amo hamoma: ne, hanaiwane esala. Dilia da wadela: i hame hamosu noga: i dunu amo medole legemusa: hame higasa. Dilia ahoasea, liligi huluane da mugului amola wadela: lesi dagoi ba: sa,
You [SYN] are very quick to go and do evil things, and you hurry to murder people [MTY] who are innocent. You are [continually] thinking about sinning. Wherever you go, you destroy things and cause people to suffer.
8 amola dilia esalea, dunu eno da gaga: su hame dawa: Dilia hou huluane da moloi hame. Dilia da gugaloi logo amoga ahoa, amola nowa dunu da amo logoga ahoasea, da gaga: su hame dawa: mu.
You do not know how to act peacefully or to treat others fairly. You always are (dishonest/deceiving others) [MET], and those who imitate your behavior never have any inner peace.
9 Dunu da amane sia: sa, “Dafawane! Ninia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Gode da ninima banenesisu dunu ilima hame gaga: sa. Ninia da hadigi ganodini masusa: hanai gala, be gasi fawane ba: sa.
Because of that, God does not rescue us [from our enemies]; [it seems that] he is not acting fairly/righteously toward us. We expect [God to give us] light, but all [he gives us] is darkness [DOU].
10 Ninia da si dofoi dunu defele, logo hogomusa: ahoa. Ninia da gasi ganodini ahoabe defele, amola bogosu gasi dunasi sogebi ganodini ahoabe defele, esomogoa dafasa.
We are like [SIM] blind people who have to feel along a wall to be able to walk anywhere. We stumble [and trip] at noontime like [SIM] we would when it is dark. We are like [SIM] dead people who are among healthy people.
11 Ninia da beda: i bagade amola se naba. Ninia da Gode nini se nabasu amola wadela: i hou amoga gaga: ma: ne bagade hanai gala, be Ea gaga: su hame ba: sa.
We growl like [SIM] [hungry] bears; we continually moan like [SIM] doves. We seek [people who do] what is just/fair, but we cannot find any [anywhere]. [We want God] to rescue us, but [it seems that] he is far away.
12 Hina Gode! Ninia da wadela: i hou bagohame Dima hamosu. Ninia wadela: i hou da ninima diwaneya udidisu agoane. Ninia wadela: i hou huluane ninia dawa: dagoi.
[But these things are happening] because [it is as though] our sins are piled high in the presence of God, and that they testify [PRS] against us. We cannot deny it; we know that we have done many wrong things.
13 Ninia da Dima odoga: i amola Di higa: i amola Dima fa: no bobogemu higa: i dagoi. Ninia da eno dunuma se ima: ne hasanasi, amola Dima baligi fa: su. Ninia asigi dawa: su da ogogosu fawane amola ninia lafi amoga ogogosu sia: fawane sia: sa.
[We know that] we have rebelled against Yahweh; we have turned away from him. We (oppress people/treat people cruelly) by what we testify [against them]; we do not allow them to get what they have a right to get. We [SYN] think about the lies that we can tell, and then we tell them.
14 Ninia da moloi hou sefasi dagoi, amola hou noga: i da ninima hamedei agoane ba: sa. Dafawane hou da moilai amo ganodini dafasa, amola moloidafa hou da dialoma: ne sogebi hame ba: sa.
[In our courts, the judges] do not decide cases/matters fairly; no one is acting righteously. In plazas where people gather together, no one tells the truth [PRS]; [it seems that people] are not allowed to say what is true.
15 Moloidafa hou da hamedafa gala. Amaiba: le, nowa da wadela: i hou eno dunuma hamosu yolesisia, eno dunu da ema wadela: le hamomu.” Hina Gode da amo hou huluane ba: i dagoi. Amola moloidafa hou da hameba: le, E da hahawane hame.
No one tells the truth, and people try to ruin [the reputations of] those who quit doing evil. Yahweh looked around, and he saw that no one was doing what is just/fair, and he was [very] displeased.
16 Dunu da se naba banenesi dunu amo fidimusa: da hame, amola Hina Gode da amo ba: beba: le, fofogadigisa. Amaiba: le, E da Hi gasaga amo dunu gaga: mu, amola ilia ha lai hasanasimu.
He was disgusted when he saw that no one tried to help [those who were being treated cruelly]. So he used his own power [MTY] to rescue them; it is because he is always righteous that he did that [PRS].
17 E da moloidafa hou gaga: su bulu agoane idiniginisimu, amola hasalasu hou gaga: su habuga agoane figisimu. E da wadela: i hou bu hahamomusa: , amola wadela: i hamosu dunuma se dabe imunusa: , bagade hanai gala.
[It is as though he is a soldier who] [MET] puts on his armor and a helmet; his continually doing what is right is like [MET] his armor, and his ability to rescue people is [like] his helmet. His being extremely angry and his being ready to get revenge [on those who do evil] are like [MET] his robes.
18 E da Ea ha lai dunu, gadenene amola soge sedagaga esala, ilima ilia wadela: i hou hamoi defele se bidi imunu.
He will repay his enemies for the evil things that they have done. He will severely punish [MTY] even those who live far [from Jerusalem].
19 Soge gusugoe asili, gududili doaga: le, dunu huluanedafa da Ema amola Ea gasa bagade hou amoma beda: mu. E da hehenasu hano amola gasa bagade isu defele, manebe ba: mu.
When that happens, people everywhere, from the east to the west, will respect and honor Yahweh [MTY], because he will come like [SIM] a rushing river that is pushed along by the strong wind that Yahweh sent.
20 Hina Gode da Ea fi ilima amane sia: sa, “Na da Yelusalemega dili fidimusa: misunu. Amola nowa da ea wadela: i hou fisili, Nama sinidigisia, Na da amo dunu gaga: musa: misunu.
And Yahweh says that he will come to Jerusalem to free [his people]; he will come to rescue those in Judah who have quit (doing sinful things/their sinful behavior).
21 Amola Na da dilima gousa: su hamomu. Na da Na gasa hou amola Na olelesu amo dilia eso huluane gaguma: ne, dilima i dagoi. Wali amola fa: no amola, dilia Na sia: nabima. Amola dilia mano amola diligaga fi da Na sia: mae fisili eso huluane nabasu hou hamoma: ne, ilima olelema.”
This is what Yahweh says to his people: “This is the agreement that I will make with you: My Spirit will not leave you, and you will always have my message. You will [be able to] declare it [MTY], and your children and grandchildren will [be able to] declare it forever.”
