Gesami Hea:su 44
1 Gode! Di da hemonega, ninia aowalali ilia esalebe eso amoga gasa bagade hou hamoi dagoi. Ninia amo hou ninina: ge amoga nabi dagoi. Amola amo ninia aowalali ilia da ninima alofele olelei.
God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
2 Di Disu da Dia hou hame dawa: dunu, amo Ga: ina: ne sogega gadili sefasili, amola Dia fi dunu ilia soge ganodini ha: ini fima: ne hamoi. Di da fifi asi gala eno ilima se bidi i. Be Dia fidafa dunu amo hahawane bagade gaguiwane esaloma: ne hamoi. Amo sia: ninia da nabi dagoi.
[They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
3 Dia fi dunu ilia gegesu gobihei amoga amola ilila: gasaga hame hasali. Be ilia da Dia gasaga hasali. Di da ilima esalu amola ilima asigisa, amo Di da ilima olelei. Amola ilia amo dawa: beba: le, hasali dagoi.
It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
4 Di da na Hina Bagade amola na Gode. Di da Dia fidafa dunu ilima hasalasu hou iaha.
You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
5 Amola ninia da Dia gasaga ninia ha lai dunu ilima hasalasisa.
It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
6 Na dadi amola na gegesu gobihei da na gaga: mu, amo na dafawaneyale hame dawa: be.
I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
7 Be Di fawane da ninia ha lai amoga gaga: i dagoi, amola ninima higa: i dunu amo hasali dagoi.
No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
8 Ninia eso huluane mae fisili, Dima nodonanumu.
We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
9 Be wali, Dia da nini yolesi dagoi. Amola ninima ha lai amo nini hasalimusa: , logo doasi dagoi. Di da ninia dadi gagui dunu wa: i, ilima wali hame gilisili mogodigisa.
But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
10 Dia nini hame fidibiba: le, ninia da ninia ha lai amoba: le hobea: i. Amola ilia da ninia gagui liligi iligili gagumusa: lai.
You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
11 Di da nini sibi fane legebe agoane hamoma: ne ninima gua: si. Di da nini ga fi soge amoga esaloma: ne afagogolesi.
You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
12 Dia da Dia fidafa dunu amo bidi fonobahadi adole, amoga bidi lai. Ilia da hamedei liligi, amo Di dawa: bela: ?
[It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
13 Ninia fi gadenene fi dunu ilia da Dia ninima hamoi amoba: le niniba: le habosesesa amola oufesega: sa.
People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
14 Dia hamobeba: le, fifi asi gala dunu huluane da ninima higale ba: sa. Amola ninia da hamedei liligi, ilia dawa: sa. Ilia da ninima higale, dialuma fofoga: sa.
They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
15 Na da eso huluane gogosianana. Na da nama ha lai amola higa: i dunu ilia nama odagia adoleba: le amola lasogole sia: beba: le na baligiliwane gogosiasa.
All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
17 Amo hou huluane da ninima doaga: i dagoi. Be ninia da Di hame gogolei. Ninia da sema gousa: su amo Di ninima hamoi, amo hamedafa fi.
All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
18 Ninia Dima fa: no bobogebe hame yolesi. Ninia da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamonanu.
We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
19 Be Di da fedege agoane nini sigua ohe amoga gasomoma: ne udigili yolesi. Di da gasidafa amo ganodini esaloma: ne nini yolesi dagoi.
But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
20 Ninia da ninia Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu amo yolesi ganiaba amola ga fi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadoloba,
If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
21 Di da amo dafawane ba: la: loba. Bai Di da ninia muguniai asigi dawa: su huluane dawa: Be ninia da Di hame yolesi.
you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
22 Be ninia Dima fa: no bobogebeba: le, eso huluane bogosu ba: lala. Ninima ha lai dunu da dunu amo da sibi medole legelala amo defele nini medole legelala.
But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Hina Gode! Di nedigima! Dia abuliba: le golai dianabela: ? Disu wa: legadoma! Ninima higa: iba: le, eso huluane nini mae yolesima!
[So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
24 Dia abuliba: le ninima wamoaligi dianabela: ? Ninia se nabasu amola bidi hamosu amo mae gogolema!
Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
25 Ninia da osoboga gala: la daha. Ninia enoga hasali dagoiba: le, osobo gulu da: iya diafula.
We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
26 Nini fidila misa! Nini gaga: ma! Bai Di da mae fisili, asigidafa hou gala.
Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
