Isaiah 13
1 [I], Isaiah, the son of Amoz, received [from Yahweh] this message about Babylon [city]:
Gode da Ba: bilone fi ilima fa: no misunu hou olelema: ne, amo sia: Aisaia (A: imose egefe) ema adosi,
2 Lift up a flag on the bare [top of a] hill, to signal [that an army should come to attack Babylon]. Shout to them and wave your hand [to signal to them] that they should march through the city gates into the palaces of the proud [rulers of Babylon]!
“Goumi gadodili, gegesu eso gosa: gisu gaguia gadole gosa: gisima. Dadi gagui dunu ilima wele sia: ma! Ilia da gasa fi moilaiga doagala: musa: dawa: digima: ne, dia lobo ligia gadoma.
3 [Yahweh says], “I have commanded those soldiers to do that; I have summoned the warriors whom I have chosen to punish [the people of Babylon] because of my being very angry with them, and those soldiers will be very proud [when they do that].”
Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilia ha lai ilima ougiba: le, E da gasa fi dadi gagui amo da hadigi gegesu ilima hamoma: ne, Ea dadi gagui amo misa: ne wele sia: i dagoi.
4 Listen to the noise on the mountains, which is the noise of a huge army marching! It is the noise made by people of many people-groups shouting. The Commander of the armies of angels has summoned this army to gather together.
Nabima! Goumiga da ha lasu bagade naba. Amo da dunu bagohame gilisisa. Amo da fifi asi gala amola hina bagade ilia fi bagohame da gegemusa: gilisisa. Hina Gode, Dadi Gagui Ouligisudafa, da Ea dadi gagui gegemusa: momagesa.
5 They come from countries that are far away, from the most remote places [IDM] on the earth. They are [like] [SIM] weapons that Yahweh will use [to punish the people with whom] he is very angry, and to destroy the entire country [of Babylonia].
Ilia soge sedaga amo osobo bagade bega: esala, amoga maha. Hina Gode da ougi bagadeba: le, Ba: bilone soge huluane gugunufinisimusa: dawa: lala.
6 [You people of Babylon] will scream because you will be terrified, because it will be the time that Yahweh [has determined/chosen], the time for the all-powerful [God] to destroy [your city].
Se nababeba: le, ha: giwane huma! Hina Gode Ea Esodafa da gadenesa. Amo esoga, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da liligi huluane gugunufinisimu.
7 All of your people will be very afraid [DOU], with the result that they will be unable even to lift their arms.
Dunu huluane ilia lobo da bodola: mu. Huluane da beda: i bagade ba: mu.
8 All of you will be terrified. You will have [PRS] severe pains like [SIM] a woman has when she is giving birth to a baby. You will look at each other helplessly, and it will show on your faces that you feel horror.
Ilia huluane beda: ne, se nabasu amo uda da mano lalelegemu gadenesea, se nababe amo defele ilia da se nabimu. Ilia da dunu eno dunu eno beda: iwane ba: lalu, ilia da gogosiabeba: le, ilia odagi da gia: iwane ba: mu.
9 Listen to this: The day that Yahweh has appointed/chosen is near, the day that he will furiously and fiercely [punish you] because he is very angry [with you]. He will cause your land [of Babylonia] to be desolate/barren, and he will destroy [all] the sinners in it.
Hina Gode Ea esodafa da manebe. Amoga, Ea nimi bagade ougi da ba: mu. Osobo bagade da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Amola wadela: i hamosu dunu huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
10 [When that happens], none of the stars will shine. When the sun rises, it will be dark, and there will be no light from the moon [at night].
Gasumuni amola gasumuni gilisisu huluane amola da ha: ba: doi dagoi ba: mu. Eso da heda: sea, gasi agoane ba: mu amola oubi da hame hadigimu.
11 [Yahweh says], “I will punish [everyone in] the world for the evil things that they do; I will punish the wicked people for the sins that they have committed. I will stop arrogant/proud people from being proud, and I will stop ruthless people from acting cruelly.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da osobo bagadega bidi hamosu imunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu dabema: ne, se imunu. Nowa da hi hou hidale gaguia gadosea, Na da fofonobomu. Amola gasa fi dunu amola dodona: gi dunu huluane ilima se dabe imunu.
12 [And because I will cause most people to die], people will be harder to find than gold, harder to find than fine gold from Ophir [in Arabia].
Gouli da osobo bagadega fonobahadi fawane ba: sa. Be amo baligili, dunu da hame bogole, esalebe, bagahamedafa ba: mu.
13 I will shake the sky, and the earth will [also] move out of its place. That will happen when [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, punish [wicked people], when [I show them that] I am extremely angry [with them].
Na da mu yagugumu, amola osobo bagade yagugubiba: le, e da ea sogebi yolesimu. Bai amo esoga, Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da Na ougi hou olelemu.
14 And all [the foreigners in Babylon will run around] like [SIM] deer that are being hunted, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. They will try to find other people from their countries, and [then] they will escape [from Babylon] and return to their own countries.
Ga fi dunu Ba: bilone soge ganodini esala da Ba: bilone yolesili, ilia sogedafa amoga buhagimu. Dia da benea ahoasu dunu amoga hobeasa, amola sibi amo da ouligisu dunu hameba: le afafasa, amo defele ilia afafane hobeamu.
15 Anyone who is captured [in Babylon] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords [DOU].
Dadi gagui dunu da nowa gagulaligisia, amo ilia gobihei amoga sone fane legemu.
16 Their little children will be dashed to pieces on the rocks while [their parents] watch; [their enemies] will steal everything valuable from their houses and will rape their wives.
Ilia da udigili ba: lalu, ilia dudubu fane legei dagoi ba: mu, amola ilia diasu liligi huluane lai dagoi amola ilia uda amo, dunu enoga wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.”
17 Look! I am going to incite the people of Media to attack Babylon. The [army of Media] will attack Babylon, even if they are offered [DOU] silver or gold [if they promise to not attack it].
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Midi dunu ilia dogo ganodini olelelalebeba: le, ilia da Ba: bilone soge dunu ilima doagala: mu. Ilia da silifa amola gouli da hamedei liligi agoane dawa: sa.
18 [With] their arrows, the [soldiers of Media] will shoot the young men [of Babylon]; they will not [even] act mercifully [DOU] toward infants or children!”
Ilia oulali amola dadi amoga ayeligi dunu medole legemu. Ilia da dudubu amola mano fonobahadi ilima hame asigimu.
19 Babylon has been a very beautiful [MTY] city; [all] the people of Babylonia have been very proud of Babylon, [their capital city]; [but] God will destroy Babylon, like [SIM] he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ba: bilone ea ida: iwane ba: su da soge huluane eno ilia ba: su baligisa. Ba: bilone dunu da gasa fili, ilia soge hahawane ba: sa. Be Na, Hina Gode da Sodame amola Goumola amo wadela: lesi, amo defele Ba: bilone gugunufinisimu.
20 No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted forever. (Nomads/People who travel from place to place to live) will refuse to set up their tents there; shepherds will not bring their flocks of sheep to rest there.
Dunu da amo soge ganodini bu hamedafa fimu. A: la: be dunu udigili lalebe, da ea abula diasu amo ganodini hame gagumu, amola sibi ouligisu afae da amo soge ganodini ea sibi gisi manusa: hame oule masunu.
21 Instead, animals that live in the desert will be there; jackals/wolves will live in [the ruins of] the houses. Owls (OR, Ostriches) will live in [the ruins], and wild goats will romp/jump around [there].
Be Ba: bilone soge amo ganodini da hafoga: i soge ohe fi fawane esalebe ba: mu, amola gasia lalebe sio fawane ilia bibia gagumu. “Osadaligi” sio da amogawi esalebe ba: mu, amola sigua goudi da ilia moilai mugului amo ganodini hehenamu.
22 Hyenas will howl in the [ruined] towers, and jackals/wolves will make their dens in [the ruins of] the palaces that [were previously] very beautiful. The time when [Babylon will be destroyed] is very near; Babylon will not exist much longer.
Ba: bilone ea sedade diasu gagula heda: i amola hina bagade diasu amo ganodini ‘hayina’ ohe amola ‘ya: ga: le’ ohe ilia dibi fawane nabimu. Ba: bilone ea wadela: mu eso da doaga: i dagoi. Amo soge ea wadela: mu eso da gadenesa.”
