Isaiah 54
1 Yahweh says, “You [people of Jerusalem] [MET], start to sing! You [who are like] [MET] women who have never given birth to children, sing loudly and shout joyfully, because you, [who are like] [MET] childless women who have been abandoned [by their husbands], will [soon] have more children than women who have never had any children.
Yelusaleme! Di da aligime uda defele esalebe ba: i. Be wali di da gesami hea: musa: , amola hahawaneba: le wele sia: musa: dawa: Wali dia mano lalelegemu ili idi da uda amo egoa hame fisi ea mano ilia idi bagadewane baligimu.
2 Make your tents larger; make them wider, and fasten them firmly with tent pegs.
Dia abula diasu amo bu bagade hamoma. Ea efe amo sedagimu amola ea ifa goge bugi amo bu gasa bagade hahamoma.
3 [You will need to make your city much larger] because [soon] you and your descendants will spread all over the land. They will force the people of [other] nations [who now live in your cities] to leave, and you will live [again] in those cities [that were previously abandoned].
Dia alalo defei la: ididili huluane amo mugululi bu bagade hamoma. Wali ga fi da dia sogega esala. Be dilia amo soge bu samogemu. Moilai wali amo ganodini dunu da hamedafa gala, amo da bu dunuga nabai dagoi ba: mu.
4 Do not be afraid; you will no [longer] be ashamed. Previously you were ashamed [because your enemies conquered you] and caused many of your women to become widows, but [soon] you will not even remember that.
Mae beda: ma! Di da gogosiasu bu hame ba: mu. Di da gaheabolo gawa fili baligi fa: su hamoi amo gogolemu. Amola di da didalo agoane esalebeba: le se bagade nabi, amo amola di da gogolemu.
5 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the Holy one of Israel, who rules over the whole earth, the one who created you, will be [like] [MET] a husband to you.
Dia Hahamosu dunu da dima digua agoane ba: mu. Ea dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa. Isala: ili fi ilia Hadigi Gode da di gaga: mu. Bai E da osobo bagade amoma Hina bagade.
6 You were like a woman whose husband left her, and caused you to be very sad; you were like a young woman who got married when she was [very] young, and then her husband abandoned her.
Isala: ili! Di da gaheabolo lai uda amo egoa da e fisiagaiba: le, se bagade naba, amo defele ba: sa. Be Hina Gode da Ema bu misa: ne, dima wele sia: sa.
7 I abandoned you [people of Jerusalem] for a while, but [now] I am saying, ‘I will take you back.’
E da amane sia: sa, “Na da fonobahadidafa wadofamusu di fisiagai. Be Na da bagade asigiwane di bu lamu.
8 I was very angry with you for a while, and I turned away from you. But I will act mercifully toward you and I will faithfully love you forever. That is what [I], Yahweh, your protector, say to you.
Na da ougiba: le, fonobahadidafa dima Na baligi olelei. Be wali Na da Na asigidafa hou mae fisili, dima olelelalumu.” Hina Gode, dia gaga: su dunu, da amane sia: sa.
9 During the time that Noah lived, I solemnly promised that I would never again allow a flood to cover the earth. So [now] I solemnly promise that I will not be angry with you again and (rebuke you/threaten to punish you).
“Nowa: ea esoga Na da osobo bagade amo hano bagadega bu hame dedeboma: ne ilegele sia: i. Amola wali Na da dima bu hame ougimu amo Na da ilegele sia: sa. Na da dima bu gagabole hame sia: mu, amola dima se hame imunu.
10 Even if the mountains and hills shake and collapse, I will not stop faithfully loving you, and I will not cancel my agreement to cause things to go well for you. That is what [I], Yahweh, who act mercifully, say.
Goumi ilia da ugugusia amola agolo da mugululi hamedafa ba: sea, be Na dima asigidafa hou da mae mugululi, dialalalumu. Na dima olofosu ima: ne ilegei, amo Na da hame gogolemu.” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa. E da dima asigidafa gala.
11 You [people of Jerusalem] [APO], [your enemies acted very violently toward you]; [it was as though] your city was battered by a severe storm, and no one helped you. But [now] I will cause your city to be rebuilt with stones made of (turquoise/valuable stones), and I will cause the foundations of the city to be made of (sapphires/valuable blue stones).
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Yelusaleme! Di da se bagade naba. Disu di gaga: mu da hame dawa: , amola eno dunu ilia dia dogo hame denesisa. Na da igi ida: iwane amoga dia bai bu gagumu.
12 I will cause the towers on the city wall to be made of (rubies/valuable red stones), and all the gates of the city will be made of [other] very valuable stones.
Na da dia diasu gado gagagula heda: i amo ‘lubi’ igi amoga gagumu. Dia logo ga: su, Na da igi amo da lalu agoane hadigi gala, amoga gagumu. Amola gagoi dobea da di sisiga: sa, amo Na da igi ida: iwanedafa amoga gagumu.
13 I will be the one who will teach you people and cause things to go well with you.
Na Nisu da dia fi dunuma olelemu. Amola Na da ilima olofosu amola bagade gagui hou imunu.
14 Your [government] will be strong because of acting justly/fairly; no one will (oppress you/cause you to suffer); you will not be afraid, because there will be nothing [PRS] that will (terrorize you/cause you to become extremely afraid).
Dilia da moloidafa hou lalegaguiba: le, gasawane lelumu. Dilia da gaga: i dagoi ba: beba: le, eno dunu da dilima se hame imunu amola dilia da beda: su hame ba: mu.
15 If any army attacks you, it will not be because I have incited them to do that, and you will defeat any group that attacks you.
Nowa da dilima doagala: sea, ilia da Na hanaiga hame hamomu. Be nowa da dilima gegesea da dafamu.
16 Think about this: (Blacksmiths/Men who make things from metal) fan the coals to make a very hot flame in order to produce weapons that can be used [in battles], but I am the one who has produced blacksmiths! And I am also the one who created people who destroy [other people and cities].
Na da ouli hahamosu dunu amo da lalu didili ouli gegesu liligi hamosa, Na da amo dunu hahamosa. Amola Na da dadi gagui dunu e da amo gegesu liligiga gegenana, Na da amo amola hahamosa.
17 [But I am promising you that I will] not allow you to be defeated/injured by soldiers using weapons that have been made to attack you, and when others try to accuse you, you will (refute them/show that they are wrong). That is the reward that I will give to the people who serve me; I will defend them; that is what [I], Yahweh, promise.”
Be gegesu liligi afae da dilima se imunu hamedei ba: mu. Nowa da dilima diwaneya udidisia, dilia da ilima ilia sia: hedofamusa: bu adole imunu dawa: mu. Na da Na hawa: hamosu dunu gaga: mu amola hasalasu hou ilima imunu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi.
