1 Hina Godema E da ha: i manu bugi fada: gia: ma: ne oubi amoga gibu ima: ne adole ba: ma! Hina Gode Hifawane da gibu mobi amola sasafugi gibu iaha. Amola amo gibu da dunu huluane fidima: ne, bugili nasu soge nasegaginisisa.
Ask Yahweh to cause rain to fall (in the springtime/before the hot season starts), [because] he is the one who makes the clouds [from which the rain falls]. He causes showers to fall on us, and he causes crops to grow well in the fields.
2 Osobo bagade dunu da ogogole loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amola ogogole balofede dunu ilima adole ba: sa. Be ilima bu adole iasu da ogogosu amola hamedei sia: Mogili da simasia ba: i ilia bai olelesa, be ogogole olelesa. Amo dogo denesisu hou ilia da iabe da hamedei fawane. Amaiba: le, dunu da sibi fisi defele, udigili lafiadalebe. Ilia da bidi hamosu bagade ba: lala. Bai ilia da ouligisu dunu hame gala.
[What people think that] the idols in their houses suggest [is only] nonsense, and people who [say that they can] interpret dreams tell [only] lies. When they [tell people things to] comfort [them, what they say] is useless, so the people [who (consult/trust in) them] are like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no [one to protect them] [like] [MET] a shepherd [protects his sheep].
3 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da ga fi amo da Na fi dunu ouligibi, ilima ougi bagade gala. Amaiba: le, Na da ilima se dabe imunu. Yuda fi dunu ili da Na: Amola Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Na fawane da ili ouligimu. Ilia da fedege agoane, Na gasa bagade gegesu hosi agoai ba: mu.
[Yahweh says, ] “I am angry with the leaders [MET] of my people, and I will punish them. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, take care of my people, the people of Judah, [like a shepherd takes care of his] [MET] flock, and I will cause them to be like [SIM] proud/powerful war horses.
4 Yuda fi amoga ouligisu dunu amola hamoma: ne sia: i olelesu dunu, ilia da heda: le, Na fi ouligimu.
From Judah will come rulers [who will be very important], [like] [MET] a cornerstone is [the most important stone for a house], [like] [MET] a tent peg [is very important for a tent], [like] [MET] a bow [is very important for (an archer/a man who shoots arrows]).
5 Yuda fi dunu da ilima ha lai dunu hasalimu. Dadi gagui dunu da ilia ha lai dunuma osa: le heda: le, logo fafuga ososa: gilisibi, amo defele ilia da hasalimu. Hina Gode da ili gilisili gegebeba: le, ilia da gasawane gegemu. Amola ilia hosi da: iya fila heda: i dunu amolawane hasalimu.
They will all be like [SIM] mighty warriors trampling [their enemies] in the mud during a battle. [I, ] Yahweh, will be with them, so they will fight and defeat their enemies who ride on horses.
6 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Yuda fi dunu gasa fufugilisimu. Na da Isala: ili dunu gaga: mu. Na da ilima asigimu, amola ili huluane bu ilia fifi lasua oule misunu. Na da ili fonobahadi fisiagai dagoi. Be ilia da bu masea, ilia da Na ili hamedafa fisiagai agoane ba: mu. Bai Na da ilia Hina Gode, amola Na da ilia sia: ne gadobe amoma dabe adole imunu.
I will cause the people [MTY] of Judah to become strong, and I will rescue the people [MTY] of Israel. I will bring them back [from the countries to which they were (exiled/forced to go)]; [I will do that] because I pity them. Then they will be as though I had not abandoned them, because I am Yahweh, their God, and I will answer them [when they pray for help].
7 Isala: ili dunu da gasa bagade, dadi gagui dunu agoai ba: mu. Ilia dunu amo da waini hano maiba: le hahawane ba: be agoai ba: ma. Iligaga fifi mabe dunu da amo hasalasisu dawa: mu. Amola Hina Gode Ea hamobeba: le, hahawane ba: mu.
The people of Israel will be like [SIM] strong soldiers; they will be as happy as [people who have drunk a lot of] wine. Their children will see [their fathers being very happy], and they [also] will be happy because of what Yahweh [has done for them].
8 Na da Na dunuma wele, ili gagadole gilisimu. Na da ili gaga: mu. Amola ilia idi da musa: bagohame amo defele Na da ilia idi agoai bu hamonesimu.
I will signal for my people [to return from (being exiled/other countries)], and I will gather them together [in their own country]. I will rescue them, and they will become very numerous like [they were] previously.
9 Na da Na fi dunu ga fifi asi gala amo ganodini afagogolesi dagoi. Be amo soge sedagaga ilia da Na bu dawa: lumu. Ilia amola ilia mano da mae bogole, gilisili ili fifi lasua buhagimu.
I have caused them to be scattered among many people-groups, but in those distant countries they will think about me again. They and their children will remain alive and return [to Judah].
10 Na da ili Idibidi sogega amola Asilia soge amoga lale, ili bu oule misunu. Amola ilia fifi lasudafa amo ganodini bu fifi lama: ne hamomu. Na da ili Gilia: de amola Lebanone soge amolawane ili fifi lama: ne oule misunu. Dunu ilia da soge huluane nabamu.
I will bring them [back] from Egypt and from Assyria; I will bring them [back] from the Gilead and Lebanon [regions], and there will hardly be enough [HYP] space for them all [to live in Judah].
11 Ilia da bidi hamosu amo fedege agoane hano wayabo bagade baligili ahoasea, Na, Hina Gode, da hano amoga gafululi famu. Amasea, Naile Hano lugudu da hafoga: mu. Na da Asilia gasa fi dunu ili asabomu. Amola gasa bagade Idibidi fi dunu amoga ilia gasa fadegale fasimu.
They will endure/experience many difficulties [as though they were walking] [MET] through a sea, but [I] will calm the waves of the sea; the Nile [River which is usually] deep will dry up. [I] will defeat the proud [soldiers of] Assyria, and [I will cause] Egypt to no longer be powerful [MTY].
12 Na da Na fi dunu gasa fufugilisimu. Ilia da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomu amola Na hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamomu.” Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
I will enable my people to be strong, and they will honor me and obey [IDM] me. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
