< Isaiah 46 >

1 [It is as though] Bel and Nebo, the statues of the gods [of Babylonia], are bowing down as those statues are put on animals and carried away! The statues are heavy burdens and will cause the animals to become tired [SAR]!
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ da wadela: lesi dagoi. Musa: ilia da Ba: ile amola Nibou elama nodone sia: ne gadosu. Be wali ilia da amo liligi, dougi ilia baligi da: iya lidili legele, amo dougi da dioiwane ahoa.
2 [It seems like] both gods are bowing down; not only can they not save themselves, but they themselves are being (exiled/taken to another country)!
Loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi da ili gaga: mu hamedei. Ilia eno dunu amoga lale, gaguli asi dagoi ba: sa. Amalu, Ba: bilone fi ilia ‘gode’ da bu hame ba: mu.
3 [Yahweh says], “You descendants of Jacob who were exiled, [I am not like the gods of Babylonia that must be carried]; [instead, it is as though] I have carried you since you first became a nation [MET]. I carried you [even] before you became a nation.
Ya: igobe egaga fi! Na fi dunu amo da hame bogoi esala! Na sia: nabima! Dilia lalelegeloba amola fa: no, Na da dili asigiwane ouligisu.
4 I will be your God, and I will carry you for many years, until [it is as though] [MET] your nation is an old man with gray hair. I caused [you to become a nation], and I will sustain you and rescue you.
Na da dilia Gode amola Na da dili asigiwane ouligimu. Dilia da: i hamone, dialuma hinabo da ahea: iai hamosea, Na da dili ouligimu. Na da dili hahamoi amola Na da dili ouligimu. Na da dili fidimu amola gaga: mu.” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa,
5 There is certainly [RHQ] no one to whom I can be compared. There is [RHQ] no one who is equal to me [DOU].
“Dilia da nowa dunuma Na defema: bela: ? Dunu eno afae da Na defele hame ba: mu.
6 [So it is stupid/ridiculous that] some people pour out gold and silver from their bags and weigh it on a scale. [Then] they hire a man who makes things from gold to make an idol from it. [After he makes an idol], they bow down and worship it!
Dunu da ilia muni salasu doasili, gouli sogadigisa. Ilia da silifa ea dioi defei ba: sa. Ilia gouli hahamosu dunu amo ‘gode’ liligi loboga hamoma: ne, bidi iaha. Amasea, ilia da amo ‘gode’ liligi amoma beguduli amola sia: ne gadosa.
7 They lift it up and carry it on their shoulders. They put it in a [special] place, and it stays there. It cannot move! And when someone prays to it, it does not answer. So [obviously] it cannot rescue anyone from his troubles!
Ilia amo ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi gaguia gadole, gisawane gaguli ahoa. Ilia da ea sogebi amoga ligisili, amola amogawi amo liligi da lela. E da ea gasaga eno sogebi amoga masunu gogolei. Dunu afae da ema sia: ne gadosea, e da bu adole imunu gogolesa, amola amo dunu gaga: mu gogolesa.
8 [You people of Judah], do not forget this; keep thinking about it, you sinful people!
Dilia wadela: i hamosu dunu! Dawa: ma! Na musa: hamoi amo bu dawa: ma!
9 Think about the things [that I did] long ago. Only I am God; I am God, and there is no one like me.
Hou hemonega hamoi amo bu dawa: ma! Ni fawane da Godedafa amola Na defele da ‘gode’ eno hame gala. Amo dilia dafawane dawa: le, sia: ma.
10 Only I can tell what will happen in the future before it occurs; I tell it long before it happens. I will accomplish everything that I plan to accomplish, and I will do everything that I want to do.
Musa: hemonega, Na da hobea misunu hou huluane dawa: i dagoi. Na da musa: hemonega, amo hou da wali doaga: i dagoi, amo da doaga: mu sia: i. Na da amane sia: i, ‘Na ilegesu da hame dafamu amola Na hamomu dawa: i liligi, da didili hamoi dagoi ba: mu.’
11 So I will summon [someone to come] from the east [like a swift and powerful] eagle; he will come from a distant country. He will accomplish what I want him to. [He is the one who] will do what I have said that I want him to do, what I have planned.
Dunu da gusugoe amoga misa: ne Na da wele sia: nana. E da buhiba defele sa: ili, Na ilegei amo e da hamomu. Na da sia: i dagoi, amola Na sia: i huluane da hamoi dagoi ba: mu.
12 You stubborn people [of Israel], [you think that] it will be a long time before you are allowed to return to your own country.
Dilia gasa fi hame nabasu dunu! Na sia: nabima! Dilia da hasalasu hou da gadenene hame agoane dawa: sa.
13 But I will rescue you, and it will not be a long time [before that happens]. I will do it soon. I will rescue Jerusalem and show to you Israeli [people] that I am glorious.”
Be Na da hamobeba: le, amo hasalasu eso da hobeadafa hame. Amo eso da gadenenewane doaga: i dagoi. Na hasalasu ba: ma: ne, dilia bagade hame ouesalumu. Na da Yelusaleme gaga: mu. Amola amogawi, Na hamobeba: le, eno fifi asi gala da Isala: ili dunu fi ilima nodone dawa: mu.”
