< Isaiah 21 >

1 A message about the desert by the sea. Like storm winds passing through the Negev, something is coming from the desert, from a land of terror—
Amo sia: ne iasu da Ba: bilone soge fi ilia hou olelesa. Ba: bilone wadela: su liligi da soge amoma dunu da beda: i, amoga sisiga: su fo agoane manebe ba: mu.
2 a horrifying vision that has been explained to me. The betrayer still betrays; the destroyer still destroys. Elamites and Medes, go ahead, attack and lay siege to Babylon, for I'm putting a stop to all the pain it has caused.
Na da esala ba: su amo ganodini, se nabasu hou misunu amola hohonosu hou amola soge wadela: mu hou ba: i dagoi. Ila: me dadi gagui dunu! Doagala: ma! Midia dadi gagui dunu! Moilai bai bagadega doagala: ma! Ba: bilone fi ilia hamobeba: le, dunu bagohame da se bagade nabi. Be Gode da ilia hou hedofamu.
3 As a result my body is filled with agony. I'm overwhelmed with pain, like the pain of a woman giving birth. I am confused by what I hear; I am distressed by what I see.
Na esala ba: su amo ganodini liligi ba: beba: le, se bagade nabi amola beda: i bagade ba: i. Amo se nabasu da uda da mano lalelegesea se naba, amo defele ba: i.
4 My mind falters; I shake in panic. The night I looked forward to has become terrifying.
Na dialuma da feloasa. Na da bagade beda: iba: le, yagugusa. Na da daeya doaga: ma: ne, bagade hanai galu. Be daeya doaga: loba, beda: i fawane ba: i.
5 They set the table, they spread out the rugs, they eat and drink… “Get up, officers! Prepare your shields for battle!”
Na esala ba: su ganodini, na da lolo nabe momagei dagoi ba: i. Misi dunu fima: ne, debea da fa: si dagoi. Ilia da hahawane ha: i amola waini hano naha esalebe ba: sa. Hedolodafa, sia: bagade naba, “Dadi gagui ouligisu! Dilia da: igene gaga: su liligi momagema!”
6 This is what the Lord told me: “Go! Have a lookout keep watch, and make sure he reports what he sees.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Sosodo aligisu dunu ilegele asunasima! E da ea ba: i liligi sia: ne iasima: ne sia: ma.
7 When he sees chariots coming pulled by pairs of horses, riders on donkeys and on camels, he should watch very carefully, paying close attention.”
E da dunu aduna aduna hosi amoga fila heda: le, amola dunu dougi amola ga: mele amo da: iya fila heda: le, manebe ba: sea, e da ili ha: giwane ba: ma: ne sia: ma.”
8 Then the lookout shouted “Sir, I've stood here on the watchtower day after day; night after night I've remained at my post.
Sosodo aligisu dunu da amane wele sia: sa, “Hina! Na da na sosodo aligisu sogebi amoga mae fisili, eso amola gasi ganodini lelu.”
9 Now look! A man in a chariot with a pair of horses is coming.” Then he said, “Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the idols of its gods lie smashed on the ground!”
Amalalu, hedolowane ilia da manebe goea! Dunu aduna aduna, hosi da: iya fila heda: le, manebe. Sosodo aligisu dunu da sia: ne iaha amane, “Ba: bilone da dafai dagoi. Loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi amoga ilia da nodone sia: ne gadoi, da mugululi, osoboga dafane wadela: lesi dagoi dialebe ba: sa.
10 My poor downtrodden people, so badly mistreated, I have told you what I have heard from the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel.
Na fi dunu! Isala: ili fi! Dilia da widi defele, dabi dagoi ba: sa. Be wali na da sia: ida: iwane gala, amo na da Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili dunu ilia Gode, amoma nabi, na da dilima olelei dagoi.
11 A message about Edom. A voice is calling to me from Seir, asking, “Watchman, what time of night is it? Watchman, what time of night is it?”
Amo sia: da Idome soge ea hou olelesa. Dunu afae Idome sogega esala da nama amane adole ba: sa, “Sosodo aligisu! Gasi da habogala dagoma: bela: ? Amo se nabasu da habogala dagoma: bela: , nama adoma!
12 The watchman replies, “Morning is coming, but the night is coming again soon. If you want to ask again, then come back and ask.”
Na da bu adole iaha, “Hahabe da mabe. Be gasi da bu misunu. Di da nama bu adole ba: musa: dawa: sea, defea, bu adole ba: ma: ne misa.”
13 A message about Arabia. Caravans from Dedan, spend the night in the bushes.
Amo sia: da Ala: ibia soge ea hou olelesa. Dilia Dida: ne fi dunu, dilia da abula diasu Ala: ibia hafoga: i soge ganodini esala!
14 People of Tema, take water to the thirsty, meet the refugees with food.
Hano hanai dunu da dilima masea, hano ilima ima. Dima sogega fi dunu! Mugululi asi dunu da dilima doaga: sea, ha: i manu ilima ima.
15 They're running away from a fierce battle, from swords, drawn swords, from bows and arrows.
Ha lai dunu da dunu eno gobihei amola dadi amoga medole legemusa: dawa: lala. Amaiba: le, dunu da gegesu amoma beda: iba: le, gadili hobeasa.
16 This is what the Lord told me: “Within one year, just as a contract worker precisely counts years, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Ode afadafa fawane da gidigisia, Gida fi ilia gasa bagade hou da ebelei dagoi ba: mu.
17 There will only be a few left of the archers, the warriors of Kedar.” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.
Gida fi oulali gagui dunu, ilia nimi gasa hou da eno Gida dunu ilia hou baligisa, be bagahame fawane esalebe ba: mu. Na, Isala: ili Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
