< Isaiah 40 >
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu ilia dogo denesima. Ilia dogo denesima!
2 Speak ye [comfort] to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out unto her, that her time of sorrow is accomplished, that her iniquity is atoned for; for she hath received from the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.
Yelusaleme fi dunu ilia dogo denesima: ne olelema! Ilia da se nabasu defele nabi dagoi amola ilia wadela: i hou da gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi, amo ilima olelema. Na da ilia wadela: i hou defele, ilima se iasu defele i dagoi.”
3 A voice calleth out, In the wilderness make ye clear the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for God.
Wesu sia: da agoane naba, “Dilia iwila amo ganodini, Hina Gode masa: ne, logo fodoma. Hafoga: i soge amo ganodini ninia Gode da masa: ne, ahoasu noga: le moloma.
4 Every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made a straight path, and the rough places a plain:
Fago huluane nabama. Goumi huluane mugululi, umi agoane hamoma. Agolo da bu umi agoane ba: mu. Amola soge fofagoi huluane da bu fa: i dagoi agoane ba: mu.
5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed; and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Amasea, osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da Hina Gode Ea Hadigi ba: mu. Bai Hina Gode da amo hou ilegele sia: i dagoi.”
6 A voice saith, Proclaim; and he saith, What shall I proclaim? all flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is as the flower of the field:
Wesu sia: eno da agoane naba, “Sia: ne iasu sia: ma!” Na da amane adole ba: sa, ‘Na da adi sia: ne iasu sia: ma: bela?’ Agoane sia: ne iasu olelema. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da gisi agoane amola ilia da ifa mosoi defele, hedolowane biosa.
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the Lord hath blown upon it; surely the people is grass.
Hina Gode da fo ili fama: ne iasisia, gisi mosoi da biosa amola wadela: sa. Osobo bagade dunu da gisi mosoi biobe defele, hedolo biosa.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God will stand firm for ever.
Dafawane! Gisi mosoi da biosa amola falegai da wadela: sa. Be Gode Ea sia: da mae mugululi, dialalalumu.”
9 Upon a high mountain get thee up, thou that bringest good tidings to Zion; lift up with strength thy voice, thou who bringest good tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, [here is] your God!
Yelusaleme fi! Goumi sedade amoba: le heda: le, sia: ida: iwane gala olelema. Saione dunu! Sia: ida: iwane, ha: giwane wele sia: ma. Mae beda: iwane ha: gi wele sia: ma. Yuda moilai huluane ilia Gode da manebe, agoane ilima olelema.
10 Behold, the Lord Eternal will come with might, and his arm ruleth for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
Hina Gode Ouligisudafa da gasa bagadewane, ouligima: ne misunu. E masea, E da dunu amo Hi gaga: i, amo oule misunu.
11 Like a shepherd will he feed his flock: with his arm will he gather the lambs, and in his bosom will he carry them, will he lead gently those that suckle their young.
E da sibi ouligisu defele, Ea sibi fi ouligimu. E da sibi mano gagadole, ea lobo ganodini ouga: ne, gaguli masunu. Amola ilia amelali, E da asabole oule masunu.
12 Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters, and meted out the heavens with the span, and comprised in a measure the dust of the earth, and weighed in the scale-beam the mountains, and the hills in balances?
Dunu afae da hano wayabo bagade amo ea loboga gaguli, ea defei dawa: ma: bela: ? O mu amo ea sedade defei ea loboga defema: bela: ? Dunu afae da faigelei ganodini, osobo bagade ea su salima: bela: ? O dioi defei ba: su amoga goumi amola agolo ilia dioi defei amo ba: ma: bela: ?
13 Who hath meted out the Spirit of the Lord? and [who was] his counsellor that he could have given him information?
Dunu afae da Hina Godema agoane hamoma: ia olelemusa: dawa: bela: ? Nowa da Ema olelemusa: dawa: bela: o Ema fada: i sia: musa: dawa: bela: ?
14 With whom took he counsel, that he gave him understanding, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and caused him to know the way of understanding?
Gode da dawa: lamusa: amola hawa: hamosu hamomusa: , E da nowama adole ba: sala: ?
15 Behold, nations are as a drop out of a bucket, and as the small dust of the balance are they accounted: behold, isles are like the flying dust.
Hina Gode Ea siga ba: sea da fifi asi gala huluane da hamedei liligi hano afae dadibi defele ba: sa. Ilia da oga sedagaga diala, osobo su hagiwane defele ba: sa.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient for burning, and its beasts do not suffice for burnt-offering.
Ohe fi huluane Lebanone iwila ganodini esala da Godema gobele salasu hamoma: ne defele hame ba: sa. Amola Lebanone ifa huluane da amo gobele salasu hamoma: ne, lalu didimusa: habemu defele hame ba: sa.
17 All the nations are as naught before him; less than nothing, and vanity are they accounted to him.
Fifi asi gala huluane da Ema hamedei liligi.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Ninia Gode da nowama defele sia: ma: bela: ? Dilia da Ea hou habodane olelema: bela: ?
19 The graven image the artificer hath cast and the goldsmith hath overspread it with gold, and fabricated [on it] silver chains.
E da ‘gode’ amo hawa: hamosu dunu da ilia loboga hamosa, amo ouli hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da gouliga dedebosa amola silifa bai amoga legesa, Gode da agoaiwane liligi hame!
20 He that is skilled in the choice chooseth a wood that will not rot; he seeketh unto himself a skilful workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
Dunu da silifa amola gouli bidi lamu amo da hamedei ba: sea, e da ifa hame dasamu liligi lasa. E da bagade dawa: su hawa: hamosu dunu hogoi helesea, amo dunu ‘gode’ hame dafamu liligi ea loboga hamoma: ne sia: sa.
21 Know ye not? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not paid attention to the foundations of the earth?
Dilia da hame dawa: bela: ? Ilia da hemonega dilima hame olelebela: ? Dilia da osobo bagade ea muni hemosu amo hame nabibala: ?
22 [It is he] that dwelleth above the circle of the earth, while its inhabitants are as grasshoppers; that stretched out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
Dunu amo Ea Fisu da osobo bagade amola mu amoga gadodili diala, amo da: iya fibi Dunu da osobo bagade hahamoi dagoi. Hagudu osobo bagade dunu da fonobahadi gedama agoane ba: sa. Gode da mu amo abula agoane fadegale moloi. Amola dunu esalebe abula diasu agoane hamoi dagoi.
23 That bringeth princes to naught; rendering the judges of the earth as vanity.
E da gasa bagade ouligisu dunu amo hedofale, ilia hamedei liligi agoai ba: ma: ne hamosa.
24 Yes, they were not yet planted; yea, they were not yet sown; yea, their stem had not yet taken root in the earth: when he but breathed upon them, and they withered, and the storm-wind carrieth them away as stubble.
Ilia da bugi liligi sono, difi hame sa: i agoai ba: sa. Amasea, Hina Gode da fo iasisia, ilia da biole, bioi gisi agoai foga mini asi dagoi ba: sa.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to? saith the Holy One.
Hadigi Gode da nowama defema: bela: ? Dunu eno da E defele esalabala? Hame mabu!
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these? he that bringeth out their host by number; that calleth them all by name; from the Mighty One not one escapeth.
Muagado ba: ma! Gasumuni dilia da ba: sa! Nowa da amo hahamobela: ? Fedege agoane, E da gasumuni dadi gagui gilisisu defele, ilima bisili, oule ahoa. E da ilia idi dawa: , amola E da ilia dio afae afae amoga ilima wele sia: sa. Ea gasa da bagadedafa. Gasumuni afae da fisi dagoi hamedafa ba: sa.
27 Why wilt thou say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the Lord, and my cause hath passed from the cognizance of my God?
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu, dilia abuliba: le egasala: ? Dilia abuliba: le, Hina Gode da dilia bidi hamosu hame dawa: , amola dilima moloi hame hamosu hou amoma E da hame asigisa, dilia abuliba: le egane sia: sala: ?
28 Dost thou not know? hast thou not heard? The God of everlasting is the Lord, is the Creator of the ends of the earth; he will not be faint and weary; unsearchable is his understanding.
Dilia hame dawa: bela: ? Dilia hame nabibala: ? Hina Gode da eso huluane Esalalalusu Godedafa. E da osobo bagade hahamoi dagoi. E da helesu hame dawa: Dunu afae da Ea asigi dawa: su dawa: mu da hamedei.
29 He giveth to the faint strength; and to the powerless he imparteth much might.
E da nowa da gasa hame amola helebe, ilima gasa iaha.
30 Though youths should grow faint and be weary, and young men should utterly stumble:
Dunu huluane amola da: i hame hamoi dunu da helebeba: le, gasa hame laha. Ayeligi dunu da helebeba: le, dafasu dawa:
31 Yet they that wait upon the Lord shall acquire new strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and not become faint.
Be nowa da Hina Gode Ea fidima: ne dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le aligisia, da ilia gasa bu gaheabolo hamoi dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da buhiba ea ougia hagili ahoabe defele wa: le masunu. Ilia da hehenabeba: le, hame helemu. Ilia da ahoasea, gasa hame hou hame dawa: mu.
