< Isaiah 57 >

1 Righteous people [sometimes] die [when they are still young], and no one is concerned about it. Godly people [sometimes] die because of disasters, and no one understands why. They are taken away in order that they will not endure more calamities,
Moloidafa dunu da bogosa, be eno dunu da dawa: hame laha, amola ilia da hame asigisa. Be moloi dunu da bogosea, bidi hamosu da ilima se hame iaha.
2 and now they have peace. They [continually] lived righteously, and [now] they rest [peacefully] in their graves.
Nowa da noga: iwane esalea da bogosea, olofosu amola helefisu ba: mu.
3 [Yahweh says, ] “But you who practice sorcery, come here! You who worship idols [MET], [listen to me]!
“Dilia wadela: i hamosu dunu! Guiguda: fofada: musa: misa! Dilia hou da wamuni dawa: su dunu, amola inia uda adole lasu dunu, amola hina: da: i bidi lasu uda, ilia hou defele wadela: idafa.
4 Do you realize [RHQ] whom you are ridiculing, and whom you are insulting? Do you realize [RHQ] to whom you are sticking out your tongues? [You are insulting me, Yahweh]! You are [RHQ] always rebelling against me and always lying.
Dilia da nowama oufesega: sala: ? Dilia ogogosu dunu! Nowama oufesega: sala: ?
5 You are eager to have sex under every [big] green tree where you worship your gods. You kill your children as sacrifices [to your idols] in the dry riverbeds, and [also] offer them [as sacrifices to your idols] in the rocky caves.
Dilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , sema gosa: su ifa haguduga wadela: i udigili uda lasu hou hamonana. Dilia da magufu gelabo hano gadenene diala, amo ganodini dilia mano gobele salimusa: medole legesa.
6 [You take big] smooth stones from the riverbeds and worship them as your gods. You pour out [wine] to be an offering to them, and you bring grain [to burn for] an offering to them. Do you think that I should not punish you for doing all those things?
Dilia da enemei igi amo hanoga lasea, amoma ‘gode’ dio asuli, nodone sia: ne gadosa. Dilia da ilima gobele salimusa: , waini hano sogadigisa amola ilima ima: ne gagoma gaguli maha. Dilia adi dawa: bela: ? Na da amo hou hahawane ba: sala: ? Hame mabu!
7 You have sex [EUP] [with cult prostitutes] on every hill and mountain, and you go there to offer sacrifices [to your gods].
Dilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima gobele salasu hamoma: ne amola wadela: i ledo uda lasu hou hamoma: ne, goumi sedade amoba: le heda: sa.
8 You have put (fetishes/pagan symbols) behind your doors and doorposts, and you have deserted me. You have taken off your clothes [EUP] and climbed into your bed and invited more [of your lovers] to come to bed with you. You have paid them to have sex with you, and you have fondled their sexual organs.
Dilia da ledo bagade loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amo dilia logo ga: su amo ganodini legesa. Dilia da Na fisisa. Dilia da abula gisa: le, dilia amola wadela: i hina: da: i bidi lasu uda gilisili da: i nabadowane diaheda: su bagade amoga fila heda: sa. Amola amogawi dilia da dilia wadela: i uda hanai hou gumisa.
9 You have given [fragrant] oil and lots of perfume to your god Molech, and you sent messengers to distant countries [to find other gods to worship]; you [even tried to] send [messengers] to the place of the dead [to search for new gods]. (Sheol h7585)
Dilia da gabusiga: manoma legelalu, ogogosu ‘gode’ amo Moulege amoma nodone sia: ne gadomusa: ahoa. Dilia da ‘gode’ liligi eno ilima sia: ne gadomusa: amo hogoma: ne, dilia da sia: ne iasu dunu soge sedagaga asuna ahoa. Amola amo hogomusa: dilia da osobo bagade baligili, bogosu sogebi amoga ahoa. (Sheol h7585)
10 You became weary because of doing all those things, but you never said, ‘It is useless [for us to do that].’ You found new strength for worshiping idols, so you continued to do that [LIT].
Dilia da eno ‘gode’ hogomusa: , hele bagade naba. Be amo hogosu hou dilia fisimusa: hame dawa: Dilia ledo bagade loboga hamoi ‘gode’ da dilima gasa iaha amo dawa: beba: le, dilia gasa da bu gaheabolo laha.”
11 Was it because you were afraid [of those idols more than you were afraid of me] that you lied [about what you were doing], and you do not even think about [DOU, RHQ] me? Was it because I did not punish you for a long time that you are not afraid of me [RHQ]?
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo ‘gode’ ilia da nowala: ? Dilia da ilima beda: iba: le, Nama ogogosa, amola dilia da Na gogoleidafa. Na da eso bagohame ouiya: le, esalebeba: le, dilia da Nama nodosu hou yolesila: ?
12 You [think that] [IRO] the things that you have done are right, but I will tell the truth. It will not help you to do any of those things.
Dilia hou da moloidafa dilisu dawa: lala. Be Na da dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, dilia wadela: i hou olelemu. Amola dilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ da dili fidimu gogolemu.
13 When you cry out [for help] to your collection of idols, they will not rescue you. The wind will blow them away [DOU]. But those who trust in me will live in the land [of Israel], and [they will worship me on Zion], my sacred hill.”
Dilia fidima: ne wele sia: ne disia, dilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi dili fidimu da defea. Fo fonobahadi da amo liligi mini masa: ne dawa: Be nowa da Na dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le da Isala: ili sogega esalumu amola Na Debolo diasu ganodini Nama nodone sia: ne gadomu.”
14 Yahweh will say, “Prepare [yourselves to receive] me, [like] [MET] people build and prepare a road [for a king to come on]. Get rid of [the things that are causing you to sin] [like] [MET] people remove from a road (obstacles/things that cause people to stumble).
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu Nama bu sinidigima: ne, ilia logo fodole, momagema! Logo ga: su liligi huluane fadegama.
15 Because this is what [I], Yahweh, who am holy and greatly honored and who live forever, say: I live in the highest heaven, where [everything] is holy, but I also am with those who are humble and who are sorry for the sinful things that they have done. I will greatly encourage [DOU] those who have repented.
Na da gaguia gadoi amola Hadigi Gode, eso huluane Fifi Ahoanusu Gode esala. Na da gadodafa amola hadigi sogebi amo ganodini esala. Be Na da asaboi dunu ilia wadela: i hou fofada: nanu Nama sinidigisa, agoaiwane dunu ilima Na da gilisili esala. Bai Na da ilima hame beda: su hou, amola hobea misunu hou da noga: idafa amo dafawane esaloma: beyale dawa: su hou, ilima bu iaha.
16 I will not accuse [people] forever; I will not always be angry [with them], because [if I did that], people would become weak/discouraged; all the people whom I created and caused to live would die.
Na da Na fi dunu ilima esalusu i dagoi, amola ilia da da: i dioiba: le dafasa: besa: le, Na da eso huluane ilima diwaneya hame udidimu, amola eso huluane ilima hame ougimu.
17 I was angry [with my people] because they sinned by wanting the things that others had. So because I was angry, I punished them and turned away from them, but they continued sinning.
Ilia da wadela: i hou amola uasu hou hamobeba: le, Na da ilima ougi galu. Amaiba: le, Na da ilima se iasu amola ili yolesiagai. Be ilia da amo sisasu mae dawa: le, hi hanaiga udigili asi.
18 I have seen the evil things that they continually do, but I will restore them and lead them. I will encourage/comfort them. And to those who are mourning,
Na da ilia hou ba: i dagoi, be Na da ili uhinisimu. Na da ili bisili masunu, amola ili fidimu, amola nowa da da: i dioiba: le, dinana, amo Na da ilia dogo denesinisimu.
19 I will enable them to sing songs to praise me. I will restore [all my people], those who live near [Jerusalem] and those who live far away, and I will cause things to go well for them.
Na da gadenene dunu fi esala, amola fi eno sedaga esala ilima olofosu ima: ne sia: mu. Na da Na fi dunu uhinisimu.
20 Wicked [people do not have peace in their inner beings]; they are like [SIM] a sea [whose waves are] always churning up mud,
Be wadela: i hamosu dunu da hano wayabo bagade, ea gafului agoane yagugusa. Ilia helefisu hame dawa: , amola gafului da fafu amola ledo bibiagosa.
21 and [I], Yahweh, say that things will never (go well/be peaceful) for those who are evil.”
Be wadela: i hamosu dunu da olofosu hamedafa ba: mu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.
