Isaiah 47
1 [Yahweh also says], “You people of Babylon, you should go and sit in the dust/dirt [to show that you are mourning], because your time to rule [MTY] [other countries] is almost ended. People will never again say that Babylonia is beautiful [like] a very attractive/beautiful young woman.
Hina Gode da fedege sia: amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone! Dia fisu amo fisili, osoboga aligila sa: ili amola osobo su amoga fima. Di da musa: a:fini dunu hame dawa: digi agoane galu. Di da musa: moilai bai bagade, eno dunuga hame hasanasi agoane galu. Be wali dia da asaboi amola noga: iwane ba: su hame gala. Di da bu udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoai hamoi dagoi.
2 [You will be slaves, so] take heavy stones and grind grain [like slave women do]. Take off your [beautiful] veils and take off your robes [as you prepare to cross streams to go where you will be forced to go].
Widi goudasu igi sisiga: su bebesoma! Widi goudama! Dia abula sawa: figisu fadegama! Dia abula sosone noga: idafa gisa: ma! Hano degemusa: , dia gaeya gogomone gadoma.
3 You will be naked and [very] ashamed. I will get vengeance on you and not pity you.”
Dunu da dia da: i nabado ba: mu. Dia da fonoboi dagoi amola ilia da dia gogosiasu ba: mu. Na da dabe imunu amola enoga Na logo hedofamu da hamedei.”
4 The one who frees us [people of Judah], whom we call ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, is the Holy One of Israel.
Isala: ili ilia Hadigi Gode da ninia hahawane dogolegele masa: ne, logo doasisa. Ea dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.
5 [Yahweh says], “You people of Babylon, sit silently in the darkness, because people will never again say that your city is [like] [MET] a queen that rules many kingdoms.
Hina Gode da Ba: bilone fi ilima amane sia: sa, “Di ouiya: le gasi ganodini fima. Musa: ilia da di da fifi asi gala huluane ilima hina bagade uda, ilia sia: i. Be agoane bu hame sia: mu.
6 I was angry with the people whom I chose [to belong to me], and I punished them. I allowed you [people of Babylon] to conquer them. But [when you conquered them], you did not have mercy on them. You (oppressed/treated cruelly) [MET] even the old people.
Na da Na fi ilima ougi galu. Na da ilima asigi hou fisili, ilia da Na fi hame defele ilima hamosu. Di, Ba: bilone, ilima hasanasima: ne, Na da dia logo doasi. Di da ilima hame asigi. Dia da dunu huluane amola da: i hamoi dunu ilima mae asigili, ili se nabima: ne, gasa fi agoane hamoi.
7 You said, ‘We will rule [other nations] forever; [it is as though our city] will be the queen [of the world] forever!’ But you did not think about the things [that you were doing], or think about what would result.
Di da eso huluane hina bagade uda agoane esalumusa: dawa: i gala. Be di da dia hou hamobe, amola fa: no misunu hou hame dawa: i.
8 You people [of Babylon] who enjoy pleasure and sex, listen to this: You enjoy a luxurious life and you feel secure. You say, ‘We are [like gods], and there are no others like us. Our women will never become widows, and our children will never be killed [in wars].’
Ba: bilone! Hahawane hedesu hou hanai dunu! Nabima! Di da hahawane gagili sali dagoi dawa: lala. Dia da Gode defele, gasa bagadedafa esala, amola osobo bagadega eno fi di defele hame esala dawa: lala. Di da didalo hamone, amola dia mano huluane fisimu amo hamedafa dawa: i galu.
9 But both of those things will happen to you suddenly: Many of your women will become widows and many of your children will die, even though you perform much sorcery and many kinds of magic [to prevent bad things from happening to you].
Be hedolodafa eso afadafa amoga, amo hou aduna da dima doaga: mu. Di da fefedoasu hou bagade hamomu, be digua amola mano fisimu.
10 You felt protected even though you were doing many wicked things, and you said, ‘No one will see what we [are doing]!’ [You thought that] you were very wise and knew many things, and you said, ‘We are gods, and there are no others like us,’ but you deceived yourselves.
Dia da wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, disu da defele dawa: i galu. Dia hou da enoga ba: mu da hamedei agoane dawa: i galu. Dia da dia bagade dawa: su hou amoma fa: no bobogebeba: le, giadofale asi. Di da dima amane sia: i, “Na da Gode. Eno fi na defele da hame esala.”
11 So you will experience terrible things, and you will not be able to prevent them by working magic. You will experience disasters, and you will not be able to pay anyone to prevent those things from happening. (A catastrophe/Something terrible) will happen to you suddenly, something that you will not realize [is about to happen].
Di da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Amola dia fefedoasu hou da dia dafasu gaga: mu gogolei. Wadela: su hou, amo di da hamedafa dawa: i galu, da dima doaga: mu.
12 So you can continue to perform all your magic spells [IRO]! You can perform the many kinds of sorcery that you have practiced for many years! Perhaps [doing those things will enable you to] be successful; perhaps you will be able to cause your enemies to be afraid of you!
Defea! Gabi liligi amola yagono dawa: su liligi mae fisili gaguma! Dia manohadi esoga, di da amo liligi amoga hamosu. Amabela: ? Amo liligi da di fidima: bela: ? Amoga hamosea, dia ha lai dunu da beda: ma: bela: ? Hamefa!
13 But [all that has resulted from your] doing all the things that the magicians have told you to do is that you have become tired! The men who look at the stars every month and predict what will happen should come forward and rescue you [from the disasters that you are about to experience].
Dunu eno da dima fada: i sia: olelesa, be di da gasa hame ba: sa. Dia gasumuni ilia hou hogosu dunu da misini, di gaga: mu da defea. Ilia da gasumuni ilia hou hogole, amola mu amo ea alalo defei ba: sa. Amasea, oubi afae afae hobea dilima doaga: mu hou olelesa.
14 But [they cannot do that, because] they are like [SIM] straw that is burning in a fire; they cannot save themselves from being burned up in the flames. Those men are unable to help you [MET]; they are as useless as stubble [that burns quickly and produces no heat] for you.
Be ilia da bioi gisi agoane foga mini asi dagoi ba: mu. Amola, lalu da ili nemu. Ilia da ilisu gaga: mu hamedei ba: mu. Amo lalu sawa: da baligili gia: iba: le, ilia da amoga udigili dogolomu hamedei agoane ba: mu.
15 The people whom you have associated with and worked with since you were young [will not help you], because they will just continue doing their own foolish things, and they will not pay any attention to you [when you cry out for help].”
Dilia da dia esalusu eso huluane ganodini, amo gasumuni ba: la: lusu dunu ilia sia: ne iasu hogosu. Be ilia da di fidimu hame dawa: Ilia da di fisili, difawane da dia logo hogoi helema: ne yolesimu. Afae da di gaga: mu hamedafa ba: mu.”
