Isaiah 51
1 [Yahweh says], “You people who desire to act righteously/justly, who want to do what I want you to do, listen to me! Think about Abraham! [It is as though] [MET] he was a huge rock cliff; and when you [people of Israel became a nation], [it was as though] [MET] you were cut from that rock [DOU].
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dilia da Na gaga: su ba: mu hanai dunu! Dilia da Na fidisu lama: ne Nama maha! Na sia: nabima! Fedege agoane, igi amoga dili da misi, amola igi magufu amoga dilia da dogoi, amoga bu dawa: ma.
2 Think about your ancestor Abraham and [his wife] Sarah, of whom [all of] you are descendants. When I first spoke to Abraham, he had no children. But after I blessed him, he had a huge number of descendants.
Dilia musa: ada A: ibalaha: me amola ea uda Sela amola bu dawa: ma. Dilia da elagaga fi esala. Na da A: ibalaha: me Nama misa: ne wele sia: noba, e da mano hame galu. Be Na da ema hahawane hamone, ema mano i. Na amane hamobeba: le, egaga fi da bagohame ba: i.
3 [Some day I], Yahweh, will encourage his descendants [again], and I will comfort all [the people who live in] the ruins [of Jerusalem]. The desert in that area will become like Eden, like the garden that I, Yahweh, [made/planted]. All the people there will be joyful and happy; they will thank me and sing.
Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima asigili ilia dogo denesimu. Ilia moilai da wadela: lesi dagoi, amola hafoga: i wadela: i soge agoane ba: sa. Be Na da amo afadenene, bu ifabi ida: iwane, ifabi Na hemonega Idini sogega bugi amo defele, hamomu. Amo ganodini, hahawane hou bagade amola Nama nodosu gesami hea: su ba: mu.
4 My people of Judah, listen carefully [DOU] to me, because [I want you to] proclaim my laws; the just/right things that I do will be [like] [MET] a light for the people of the nations.
Na fi dunu! Na sia: nabima! Na da fifi asi gala ilima Na: olelesu iaha. Na sema olelesu da ilima hadigi imunu.
5 I will soon/quickly rescue you [DOU]; by my power [MTY] I will bring you back [from being exiled in Babylonia] [DOU]. The people who live on islands in the ocean will wait for me [to help them], confidently expecting for me to use my power [MTY].
Na da hedolo ilima gaga: musa: misunu. Na hasalasu eso da gadenei. Na Nisu da fifi asi gala huluane ouligimu. Soge sedaga ilia da Na misa: ne ouesala. Ilia da Na gaga: su lamu hanaiba: le, ouesala.
6 Look up at the sky, and look at the earth, [and see what they are like now], because [some day] the sky will disappear like [SIM] smoke, and the earth will wear out like [SIM] old clothes wear out, and people on the earth will die like gnats/flies. But I will rescue/save you, and you will remain free forever, and I will rule you righteously/fairly forever.
Muagado ba: legadoma! Osobo bagade ba: ma! Mu da mobi agoane asili, hamedafa ba: mu. Osobo bagade da hea abula agoane, hea hamone, wadela: mu. Amola dunu huluane amogawi esala da gagoba: defele bogogia: mu. Be Na da gaga: su hou eso huluane dialoma: ne gaguli misunu. Na hasalasu hou da hame dagomu.
7 You people who know what things are right to do, and who know in your inner beings [what is written in] my laws, listen to me! Do not be afraid of people who taunt/insult you; do not be disturbed/upset when people revile you,
Dilia dunu amo da moloidafa hou dawa: , amola Na olelesu da dilia dogo ganodini diala! Na sia: nabima! Dunu eno da dilima gadele sia: sea amola oufesega: sea, mae beda: ma.
8 because [some day they will be destroyed] like [MET] clothing that is eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches), like wool garments that have been eaten by worms. I will save you people, and you will be saved forever.”
Ilia da aowabaga mai abula defele, mugululi, alalolesi dagoi ba: mu. Be Na gaga: su gaguli misunu da dialalalumu. Amola Na hasalasu hou da fifi ahoanumu.
9 Yahweh, wake up [and do something for us]! Show your power! Do mighty things like you did long ago, when you stabbed [RHQ] that sea monster/dragon Rahab and cut it into pieces.
Hina Gode! Nedigima! Ninima fidima! Dia gasa amoga nini gaga: ma! Di da hemonega hamoi defele gasawane hamoma. Di da hano wayabo bagade ganodini esala ohe amo La: iha: be, amo gobiheiga fane dadamuni legei.
10 Surely you are [RHQ] the one who caused the [Red] Sea to become dry and made a path through that deep water in order that your people could cross it!
Di amola, da hano wayabo bagade hafoga: i amola Dia gaga: i dunu hahawane degema: ne, hano ganodini logo hamoi.
11 And those whom Yahweh will rescue [from being exiled in Babylonia] will [similarly] return to Jerusalem, singing. Their being joyful forever will be [like] [MET] a crown on their heads. They will not be sad or mourn any more; they will be [completely] joyful and happy.
Dunu amo Di gaga: i, ilia da hahawane Yelusalemega doaga: mu. Ilia da hahawaneba: le, gesami hea: lalumu amola wele sia: nanumu. Ilia da eso huluane da: i dioi amola se nabasu hame ba: mu, amola hahawane esalumu.
12 [Yahweh says], “I am the one who encourages you. So (why are you/you should not be) [RHQ] afraid of humans who will [wither and disappear like] [MET] grass.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da dilima gasa iaha. Osobo bagade dunu ilia da gisi agoane, hedolo bogomu. Amaiba: le, dilia da abuliba: le osobo bagade dunuma beda: ma: bela: ?
13 (Why have you/You should not have) [RHQ] forgotten [me], Yahweh, the one who created your nation, the one who stretched out the sky and laid the foundations of the earth. (Why are you/You should not be) [RHQ] continually afraid of those who are angry with you and (oppress you/treat you cruelly) and want to get rid of you. [You should not be afraid of them now], because those angry people have now disappeared!
Dilia Hina Gode da dili hahamoi amola mu hahamoi amola osobo bagade ea bai gagui. Dilia da E gogolebela: ? Dunu eno da ougi bagadewane dilima se iaha, amola dili wadela: lesima: ne ouesala. Be dilia da ilima beda: mu da defea hame. Bai ilia ougi bagade hou da wali dili wadela: mu hamedei.
14 Soon you people who have been caused to be slaves [in Babylonia] will be freed! You will not remain in prison, and you will not die of hunger,
Se iasu diasu ganodini sali dunu da hedolo ilia se iasu diasu logo doasi dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da ode bagohame esalumu amola ha: i manu ilia hanai defele ba: mu.
15 because I am Yahweh, your God, the one who stirs up the sea and causes the waves to roar; I am the Commander of the armies of angels!
Na da dilia Hina Gode. Na da hano wayabo bagade bibiagosa, amola Na hamobeba: le, ea gafului da fugala: sa. Na dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.
16 I have given you my message [MTY] to proclaim, and I have protected you with my hand [MTY]. I stretched out the sky and laid the foundation of the earth. And I am the one who says to you Israeli people, ‘You are my people!’”
Na da mu fadegale gale amola osobo bagade ea bai ligisi dagoi. Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia da Na fi! Na da Na olelesu dilima i dagoi. Amola, Na da Na loboga dili gaga: sa.’”
17 [You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, wake up [DOU]! You have experienced Yahweh severely punishing [MTY] you. Yahweh has caused you to suffer much, all that he wanted you to suffer, like [MET] someone who causes another person to suffer by forcing him to drink every drop of [MTY] a cupful of bitter liquid.
Yelusaleme! Nedigima! Nedigili, wa: legadoma! Di da fedege agoane se iasu amo Hina Gode dilima ougiba: le faigelei ganodini dili moma: ne sali, amo mai dagoi. Di da da: gi dagoi amola feloale asi.
18 [Now] you do not have any children who are alive [DOU] and able to take your hand and guide you.
Dia fi amo ganodini, ouligisu amo di lobolele oule masunu, agoai dunu hame ba: sa.
19 You have experienced several disasters: Your country has become desolate/deserted; [your cities have been] destroyed; [many people have] died from hunger; [many people have been] killed by your enemies’ swords. Now, there is no one [RHQ] left to console/comfort you and sympathize with you.
Wadela: mu hou aduna da dilima doaga: i dagoi. Gegebeba: le, dia soge da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: sa. Amola dia dunu da ha: beba: le, bogogia: i. Amola dilima asigi dunu da hame gala.
20 Your children have fainted and lie in the streets; they are [as helpless as] [SIM] an antelope [that has been caught] in a net. What has happened to them is because Yahweh has been very angry with them; he has rebuked them severely.
Moilai ganodini hegomai logo huluane amoga dunu da gasa hameba: le, dafasa. Ilia da ohe amo benea ahoasu dunu ea sani amoga sa: i agoai ba: sa. Ilia Gode Ea gasa bagade ougi hou amoga se nabi.
21 So now, you people who have suffered much, [you act as though] you are drunk, but it is not because you have drunk a lot of wine.
Dilia Yelusaleme fi dunu da se naba amola adini ba: i defele feloale ahoa.
22 Yahweh, your Lord and your God, the one who argues/pleads your case, says this: “Note this: [It is as though] [MET] I have taken that cup of bitter liquid from your hands; I will not be angry with you and cause you to suffer any more.
Dilia Hina Gode da dili gaga: sa, amola dilima amane sia: sa, “Na da ougiba: le, dilima se iasu faigelei ganodini salawane dili moma: ne i. Be wali Na da amo faigelei bu samogemu. Dilia da amo se iasu waini hano nabeba: le, feloale asi. Be amo se iasu waini hano dilia moma: ne, Na da bu hame imunu.
23 Instead, I will cause those who have tormented you to suffer; [I will severely punish] those who said to you, ‘Prostrate yourselves in order that we may walk on you; [lie down on your stomachs] in order that your backs will be like [SIM] streets that we can walk on.’”
Be amo se iasu waini hano Na da dilima se iasu dunu ilima imunu. Bai ilia da dili logoga diasa: ima: ne hamosu, amola dilima dili osobo su defele, amoga ososa: gi dagoi.”
