1 Sia: da amo buga ganodini dedei da sia: amo Gode da Aisaia (A: imose egefe) amoma olelei. Amo sia: da Yuda fifi asi gala amola Yelusaleme fi, ilia hou olelesa. Amo esoga, hina bagade amo da Yuda fi ouligisu da Asaia, fa: no Youda: me, amola A: iha: se amola Hesigaia
[I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
2 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Osobo bagade amola mu! Na sia: nabima! Na fofoi mano da nama higale odoga: i.
This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
3 Bulamagau da ilia ouligisu dunu dawa: Amola dougi da ilia ouligisu da ilima ha: i manu iabe sogebi dawa: Be amo hou da Na fi dunu Isala: ili fi, amo ilia hou baligisa. Ilia da amo hou hamedafa dawa:
Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
4 Dilia wadela: idafa dunu fi! Dilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia da wadela: i hou hamonanebeba: le dafasa. Dilia da Hina Gode, Isala: ili dunu fi ilia Hadigi Gode amo higa: i dagoi. Dilia da Ema hihini baligi fa: i.
Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
5 Dilia da abuliba: le mae fisili odoga: sala: ? Dilia da Gode Ea se iasu eno lamu hanabela: ? Isala: ili fi! Dia dialuma da fa: ginisisu amoga dedeboi dagoi amola dia dogo amola asigi dawa: su da oloi gala.
Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
6 Dia dialuma da: iya asili dia emo gafe amoga doaga: le, dia da: i hodo amo ganodini oloi bagade fawane ba: sa. Dia da: i da fa: ginisisu amola fofonomasu amola aiya amoga dedeboi dagoi. Dia fa: ginisi da hame dodofei amola hame sosone dedeboi amola manoma hame legei.
[It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
7 Dia soge da wadela: lesi dagoi, amola dia moilai bai bagade huluane da laluga nei dagoi. Ga fi dunu da dia soge huluane lale wadela: lesisa amola di da udigili lela ba: lala.
[It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
8 Yelusaleme fawane da hame mugului, be ha lai dunu da ema gegenana. Yelusaleme da sosodo aligisu dunu ea diasu waini sagai ganodini gala o ifabi diasu dadami sagai ganodini amo defele hame gaga: iwane ba: sa.
The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
9 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da dunu mogili esaloma: ne hame gaga: i ganiaba, Yelusaleme da Sodame amola Goumola defele, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: la: loba.
If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
10 Yelusaleme! Dia ouligisu dunu ilia da Sodame amola Goumola elea ouligisu dunu defele ba: sa. Hina Gode da dilima sia: be noga: le nabima! Ninia Gode Ea olelesu noga: le dawa: digima.
You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
11 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dilia adi dawa: bela: ? Dilia da Nama gobele salasu dilia da eso huluane Nama iaha, amo Na da hanabela? Hame mabu! Dilia da Nama sibi bagohame amola ohe fi ilia sefe bagade Nama gobele sasalasu, be Na da amo lamu higa: i gala mabu. Na da bulamagau gawali amola sibi amola goudi ilia maga: me bagade ba: beba: le, helei bagade naba.
He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
12 Dilia da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: masea amo liligi gaguli misa: ne nowa adobela: ? Nowa da dili, Na Debolo diasu ganodini laloma: ne adobela: ?
When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
13 Dilia gobele salasu liligi gaguli misunu da hamedei liligi. Dilia manoma gobele salasu gabusiga: Na da higale naba. Dilia Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nasu amola dilia Sa: bade eso amola dilia sia: ne gadosu gilisisu huluane Na higasa. Amo hou huluane da dilia wadela: i hou amoga wadela: lesi dagoi.
Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
14 Na da dilia Oubi Gaheabolo lolo Nasu amola “hadigi” gilisisu eso huluane bagade higasa. Ilia da Nama dioi bagade liligi amola Na da amo liligi bu dioiwane gaguli masunu higa: i.
I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
15 Dilia da sia: ne gadomusa: , dilia lobo ligia gadosea, Na da dili hame ba: mu. Dilia da baligiliwane sia: ne gadosea, be Na da hame nabimu. Bai dilia lobo da maga: mega dedeboi dagoi.
[So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
16 Sinidigima! Dilia da: i dodofelalu, fofoloi agoane ba: mu da defea. Na da ba: loba, dilia wadela: i hou fawane hamosa. Amo yolesima!
Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
17 Hou ida: iwane hamoma: ne, logo hogoma! Moloidafa hou logo hogoma! Nowa da eno dunuma se laha, amo fidima! Guluba: mano fidima! Didalo amola gaga: ma!”
Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
18 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo hou ninia da wahadafa hahamomu. Dilia da wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, maga: mega ledo hamoi dagoi ba: sa. Be Na da dili dodofesea, dilia da mu gohona: defele, ahea: iaidafa agoane ba: mu. Dilia ledo da ulasuiya: i agoane ba: sa, be dilia da sibi hinabo defele sua: iai agoane ba: mu.
Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
19 Dilia da Na sia: nabawane hamosea, dilia da soge ea ha: i manu gami noga: i agoai manu.
If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
20 Be dilia da Na sia: higasea, dilia da dafawane bogomu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi!”
But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
21 Yelusaleme fi da musa: hou noga: i hamosu. Be wali ilia da da: i bidi lasu uda ea hou defele hamosa. Musa: amo moilai bai bagade da moloidafa dunu amoga nabai galu, be wali fane legesu dunu fawane esalebe ba: sa.
“[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
22 Yelusaleme! Di da musa: silifa noga: iwane ba: su. Be wali di da hamedei moilai bai bagade agoane ba: sa. Di da musa: waini hano ida: iwane gala ba: su. Be wali di da hano gamogai agoane ba: sa.
Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
23 Dia ouligisu dunu ilia da odoga: su dunu, amola ilia da wamolasu dunu ilia dogolegei agoane esala. Ilia da eso huluane hano suligisu bidi hahawane laha. Ilia da fofada: su diasu ganodini guluba: mano hame gaga: sa, amola didalo ilila: hou gaga: ma: ne sia: sea, ilia sia: hame naba.
Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
24 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili dunu ilia gasa bagade Gode, amo Ea sia: nabima! Dilia da Nama ha lai hamobeba: le, Na da dilima dabe imunu. Amasea, dilia da Nama bu hame mosolamu.
Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
25 Na da dilima doagala: mu. Gouli amola silifa ilia gobele, ledo huluane fadegasa, amo defele Na da dilia ledo fadegale fasimu.
I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
26 Na da musa: Isala: ili fi ilia ouligisu dunu amola sia: ne iasu dunu, amo defele dilima bu imunu. Amasea, eno dunu ilia da Yelusaleme amoma “Moloidafa Moilai Bai Bagade” amola “Dafawaneyale Dawa: su Moilai Bai Bagade” dima asulimu.”
[After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
27 Hina Gode Ea hou da moloidafa. Amaiba: le, E da Yelusaleme amo gaga: mu, amola nowa amo moilai bai bagade ganodini da wadela: i hou fisili, Godema sinidigisia, E da amo dunu gaga: mu.
Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
28 Be nowa da wadela: i hou hamosea amola Hina Godema odoga: sea, Gode da goudamu. Nowa da E higale yolesisa, E da amo dunu fane legemu.
But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
29 Dilia da udigili ifa amoma sia: ne gadobeba: le, amola sema ifabi bugiba: le, gogosiane asigi bagade ba: mu.
You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
30 Dilia da bioma: ne “ouge” ifa defele biomu. Amola sagai amoma ilia hano hame iasea biobe defele, dilia da biomu.
You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
31 Bioi gisi da lalu geso amoga lalu hamone, nei dagoi ba: sa. Amo defele, gasa fi dunu da ilisu wadela: i hamobeba: le, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Amola ilia mae wadela: lesima: ne, enoga gaga: mu da hamedei ba: mu.
Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
