Isaiah 28
1 Terrible things will happen to [Samaria city, the capital of Israel]! It is on a hill above a fertile valley; the people who live there, who get drunk by drinking too much wine, are very proud; it is a beautiful and glorious city, but some day that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up.
Isala: ili hina bagade soge da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Falegai habuga da Isala: ili adini ba: i ouligisu ilia dialumaga biosa amola wadela: sa, amo defele Isala: ili ea hadigi da gebe gasisa. Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilia gasa fi dialuma da gabusiga: agoane naba. Be ilisu da adini bagade ba: iba: le, bogoi agoane golai dialebe ba: sa.
2 Listen to this: Yahweh will cause a great army to attack Samaria. Their soldiers will be like [SIM] a huge hailstorm [or] a very strong wind; they will be everywhere, like the water of a huge flood, and they will smash to the ground [the buildings in Samaria].
Hina Gode da gasa bagade dunu ea gegesu liligi momagei dagoi, Isala: ili dunuma doagala: musa: ilegei dagoi. E da mugene isu amola gibula bobodobe amola hano nawa: li gasa bagade amo defele misini, Isala: ili soge hasanasimu.
3 The people of Samaria are proud, but everything that the drunks who live there think is wonderful/glorious will be trampled on by their enemies.
Amasea, Isala: ili adini ba: i ouligisu dunu ilia gasa fi hou da enoga hasanasi dagoi ba: mu.
4 [Yes], Samaria is beautiful, set on a hill above a fertile valley, but that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up. Whenever someone sees a good fig at the beginning of the season [when figs become ripe], he quickly picks and eats it; [similarly, when the enemies of Israel see all the beautiful things in Samaria], [they will quickly conquer the city and take away all those things].
Amo gasa fi ouligisu dunu ilia hadigi da figi fage ilia faisu eso amoga degabo agoane yoi ba: sea hedolowane mai dagoiba: le, amo defele bu hamedafa ba: mu.
5 At that time, the Commander of the armies of angels will be [like] a glorious wreath of flowers for [us] Israeli people who are still alive [after being exiled].
Eso da misunu amoga Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Ea fi dunu hame bogole esala, amoga E da hadigi habuga falegai amoga hamoi agoane ba: mu.
6 He will cause our judges to want to do what is fair/just when they decide people’s cases. He will enable the soldiers who stand at the city gates to strongly defend [the city when our enemies attack it].
E da fofada: su dunu ilima moloidafa fofada: su hou olelemu, amola dadi gagui dunu amo da moilai bai bagade logo holei gaga: lala, ilima ilia mae beda: ma: ne, E da ilia dogo denesimu.
7 [But now, ] our leaders stagger/stumble because they have drunk a lot of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks. The priests and prophets also stagger because of drinking a lot of wine and other alcoholic drinks. They are not able to think right; they see visions but they cannot understand what they mean; they are unable to decide things correctly.
Be balofede dunu amola gobele salasu dunu da adini bagade ba: iba: le, feloale ahoa. Ilia da adini amola waini hano bagade maiba: le, feloale emo udaguguli dafasa. Gode da balofede dunuma esala ba: su olelesa. Be ilia da adini bagade ba: iba: le, esala ba: su ea bai hame dawa: Gobele salasu dunu amola da adini bagade ba: iba: le, moloidafa fofada: su hou hame dawa:
8 All their tables are covered with [their] vomit; filth is everywhere.
Amola ilia fisu fafai amo da isosu liligi amoga dedeboi dagoi, ledodafa gala.
9 They ridicule Yahweh saying, “Who does he think that he is teaching? Why is he talking to us like this? [Does he think that] we are little children who have recently been weaned?
Ilia da na houba: le egasa. Ilia da amane sia: sa, “Amo dunu da abuliba: le nini bagade dawa: su dunuma olelesala? Ninia da ea sia: nabimu higa: i. Amo sia: da mano dudubu amo da ame ea dodo wahawane fisi, ilima olelesu fawane.
10 [He continually tells us], ‘Do this, do that;’ first he tells us one rule, then another rule, he tells us only one line at a time.”
E da ninima sia: afae afae, fonobahadi, agoaiwane ninima olelemusa: dawa:”
11 So now, Yahweh will need to force them to listen to [Assyrians] speaking to them in a language that they do not understand.
Defea! Dilia da na sia: nabimu higasea, Gode da ga fi amo sia: hisu amoga dilima olelemu.
12 Yahweh told his people [long ago], “[This is] a place where you can rest; you are exhausted [from all your travels through the desert], but you will be able to rest [in this land].” But they refused to pay attention to what he said.
E da helefisu amola olofosu dilima imunusa: sia: i. Be dilia da Ea sia: hame nabi.
13 So Yahweh continues to tell the people of Samaria, one line at a time, “Do this, do that,” first one rule and then another rule. But because [of their ignoring what God said], they will be attacked and defeated; they will be wounded and snared and captured.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da sia: afae afae, fonobahadi agoane dilima olelemu. Amasea, dilia da afae afae ahoananu, dilia da emo udagugudumu. Dilia da fa: gini, saniga sa: i dagole, se iasu diasu hamosu dunu ba: mu.
14 Because of [what will happen in Samaria], you rulers in Jerusalem who make fun of me, listen to this message from Yahweh:
Amaiba: le, dili gasa fi ouligisu dunu amo da wali Yelusaleme amo ganodini dunu fi ouligisa! Hina Gode Ea sia: dilima sia: i amo nabima!
15 You [boast] saying, “We have made an alliance with [the leaders of Egypt], so we will not be killed [in battles]; we will never go to the place where the dead people are. When the [army of Assyria] attacks us, they will never defeat us, because we have made [an agreement with Egypt] to protect us!” [But that agreement consists of] a lot of lies [DOU]. (Sheol h7585)
Dilia da hidale, dilia da bogosu hou amola bogoi dunu ilia esalebe soge amoga gousa: su hamoi dagoi sia: sa. Wadela: lesisu da osobo bagadega doaga: sea, dilima hame doaga: ma: ne, dilia giadofale dawa: sa. Bai ogogosu sia: amola ogogosu hou da dili gaga: mu, dilia dawa: (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, Yahweh [our] Lord says this: “Listen to this! I am going to place in Jerusalem [someone who is like] [MET] a foundation stone, [he is like] a stone that has been tested [to determine if it is solid]. [He will be like] a valuable cornerstone around which it will be safe to build a house; and whoever trusts in him will never be disappointed.
Be wali, Hina Gode Ouligisudafa da amane sia: sa, “Na da Saione sogega gasa bagade bai legemu. Amo da diasu igi bai gasa bagade. Amola nowa da amo dafawaneyale dawa: sea, lalegagusia, e da hame dafamu.
17 I will test you [people of Jerusalem] to find out if you will act justly and righteously [like] [MET] someone uses a plumb line [to determine if a wall is straight and vertical]. But because your agreement [with Egypt] to protect you [was made by leaders] lying to each other and deceiving each other, you will be defeated and taken away [from your country] by [an army that will come against you like] [MET] a flood.
Fedege agoane, amo bai ea defei dawa: ma: ne ilegesu defei da moloidafa hou ba: mu, amola ea moloi lela defei ba: su da ida: iwane moloi hou.” Ogogosu hou amo dilia da fa: no bobogesa, amo da mugene isu amoga fabeba: le, mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu. Amola hano bagade defele heda: le, dilia gaga: su mini ahoasea, hamedafa ba: mu.
18 I will annul/destroy the agreement that you made [with the leaders of Egypt]. You thought that [because of that agreement] you would not be killed, and you would not go to the place where the dead are. [But] when the vast [army of Assyria] overwhelms you like a flood, they will trample you into the ground. (Sheol h7585)
Gousa: su hou amo dilia da bogosu hou amola bogosu soge amoga hamoi, amo da yolesi dagoi ba: mu. Amola gugunufinisisu se nabasu da dilima doaga: sea, dilia da amoga hasanasi dagoi ba: mu. (Sheol h7585)
19 Their soldiers will come during the morning, at noontime, and at night, and they will carry you all away.” And when you understand this message, you will be terrified.
Amo wadela: lesisu hou da mae fisili, hahabe eno, hahabe eno, gasia amola esosea, dilima doaga: mu. Gode da amoga dilima gebewane sia: ne iasea, dilia da bagadewane beda: mu.
20 [You have heard people say], “Your bed is very short, you will not be able to sleep in it; your blankets are very narrow; they will not cover you!” [That means for you that your agreement with Egypt is not going to save you].
Musa: malasu sia: defele, dilia da dunu e da golamusa: dawa: lala, be ea diaheda: su da dunumuni amola ifa abula sososu da fonoboiba: le, amoga sosone hamedei ba: sa, amola golamu da hamedei ba: sa.
21 Yahweh will come [and cause you to be defeated]; he will do to you like he did to the army of Philistia at Perizim Mountain and like he did to the Amor people-group at Gibeon Valley. What he will do will be [very] strange and unusual [DOU].
Hina Gode Ea hou da dilima hisu agoane ba: mu, be E da Belasimi Goumi amola Gibione Fago amoga gegei, amo defele E da Hi hanai hamomusa: dilima gegemu. E da Ea wamolegei hawa: hamosu huluane hamone dagomu.
22 The Commander of the armies of angels has told me that he is going to destroy the entire land. So do not ridicule [what I say any more], because if you do that he will punish you [even] more severely.
Na da dilima sisasu iabeba: le, mae oufesega: ma. Dilia agoane hamosea, hobeale masa: ne logo baligili gasa bagade ba: mu. Hina Gode Bagadedafa da ninia soge huluane wadela: lesima: ne ilegei, amo na da nabi dagoi.
23 Listen [IDM] to what I say; pay attention carefully.
Na sia: noga: le nabima! Na dilima olebe amo noga: le dawa: digima!
24 When a farmer plows some ground, does he never plant seeds [RHQ]? Does he continue to plow it and never plant anything [RHQ]?
Ifabi ouligisu dunu e da ea ifabi osobo amo udigili mae fisili gidinalala, amola udigili momagelala, amo hame hamosa.
25 No, he makes the ground very level, and then he plants seeds— dill and cumin and wheat and barley. He plants each kind of seed in the correct manner.
Be e da osobo hahamonanu, hawa: amo ‘dili’ amola ‘gamini’ amola ‘widi’ amola ‘bali’ sagasa. Amola ea sogebi bega: , ea da eno gagoma agoane liligi bugisa.
26 [He does that] because God has taught him the correct way to do it.
E da ea hawa: hamosu noga: le dawa: Bai Gode da ema olelebeba: le.
27 [Farmers] never thresh caraway/dill with a heavy sledge/club; instead, they beat it only with a stick. [Farmers] never thresh cumin by driving a cart over it; instead, they hit it [only] with a rod.
‘Dili’ amola ‘gamini’ oso amo dabimusa: , amo ha: i manu wadela: sa: besa: le, e da dioi bagade ifa fasu amoga hame dabasa. Be e da fonobahadi ifa, ha: i manu oso ea hou defele amoga fasa.
28 And grain for baking bread is crushed easily, so the farmers do not continue to pound it for a long time. They sometimes cause their horses to pull a cart over it [to thresh it], [but] doing that does not grind the grain.
E da ‘widi’ ha: i manu lamusa: , udigili mae fisili dabasuga fabe hame hamosa. Dafawane! Bagade dawa: su ifabi ouligisu dunu, e da fedege agoane, hosi amola gaguli fula ahoasu ‘widi’ da: iya oule ahoasea, widi ha: i manu da hame goudai ba: mu.
29 The Commander of the armies of angels gives [us] wonderful advice [about how to do things]; he causes [us] to be very wise. [So what the farmers do is very smart/wise, but what your leaders are doing is very stupid].
Amo bagade dawa: su hou huluane da Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ema maha. Gode Ea ilegesu da bagade dawa: su liligi, amola Ea ilegesu da eso huluane didili hamosa.
