< 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 comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned; that she hath received of the LORD’S hand 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 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our 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 exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places 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 The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof 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 bloweth 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 shall stand for ever.
Dafawane! Gisi mosoi da biosa amola falegai da wadela: sa. Be Gode Ea sia: da mae mugululi, dialalalumu.”
9 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain: O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, 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 GOD will come as a mighty one, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.
Hina Gode Ouligisudafa da gasa bagadewane, ouligima: ne misunu. E masea, E da dunu amo Hi gaga: i, amo oule misunu.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, he shall gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that give suck.
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 the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
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 directed the spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
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, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Gode da dawa: lamusa: amola hawa: hamosu hamomusa: , E da nowama adole ba: sala: ?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
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 to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a 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 nothing before him; they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
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, a workman melted [it], and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth [for 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 too impoverished for [such] an oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to set up 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 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from 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 sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth 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 nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
E da gasa bagade ouligisu dunu amo hedofale, ilia hamedei liligi agoai ba: ma: ne hamosa.
24 Yea, they have not been planted; yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth: moreover he bloweth upon them, and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh 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 him]? 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, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
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 sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed away from 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 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of 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 power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
E da nowa da gasa hame amola helebe, ilima gasa iaha.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Dunu huluane amola da: i hame hamoi dunu da helebeba: le, gasa hame laha. Ayeligi dunu da helebeba: le, dafasu dawa:
31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not 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.
