Isaiah 9
1 However, those in Judah who have been distressed/worried will not [continue to] suffer. Previously, Yahweh humbled [the people in] the land [where the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali [live]. But in the future he will honor [the people who live in] that Galilee region, along the road between the Jordan [River] and the [Mediterranean] Sea, where [many] foreigners live.
Ilia da amo bidi hamoi amoga hobeale masunu da hamedei ba: mu. Sebiula: ne fi dunu amola Na: badalai fi dunu da musa: gogosiasu fawane ba: i. Be fa: no eno dunu da amo soge fi dunu ilima nodone dawa: mu. Amo soge da Medidela: inia Wayabo Bagade amoga eso mabe la: ididili asili, soge amo Yodane eso mabe la: ididi diala doaga: sa. Amola amo soge ganodini da Ga: lili Hano wayabo soge (amo ganodini ga fi dunu esala)
2 [Some day, it will be as though] [MET] the people who walked in darkness will see a great light. A [great] light will shine on those who live in a land where they have great troubles/distress.
Dunu ilia da gasi ganodini ahoasu da hadigi bagade ba: i dagoi. Ilia da soge amo ganodini baba fawane galu. Be wali hadigi bagade da ilima diga: i dagoi.
3 [Yahweh], you will cause us people in Israel to rejoice; we will become very happy. We will rejoice about what you [have done] like [SIM] people rejoice when they harvest their crops, [or] like soldiers rejoice when they divide up among themselves the things that they have captured in a battle.
Hina Gode! Di da ilia fi bu bagade hamoi. Di da ilima hahawane bagade i. Dunu da gagoma faisia, o dunu enoma hasanasiba: le, ilia liligi laha, ilia da hahawane ba: sa, amo defele, Dia hamobeba: le, ilia da hahawane bagade gala.
4 You will cause us to no longer be slaves [MET] [of those who captured us]; you will lift the heavy burdens from our shoulders. [It will be as though] you will break the rods of those who oppressed us, like you did when you destroyed [the army of] the Midian people-group.
Dia da musa: Midia: ne dadi gagui dunu ili hasali. Amo defele, di da Isala: ili dunu ilia da: i dioi bagade ‘youge’ fi dagoi, amola galiamo amo da ilia gida da: iya fasu, amo Di da wadela: lesi. Fi amo da Dia fi ilima se bagade iasu, amo Di da hasali dagoi.
5 The boots that the enemy soldiers have worn and their clothing which has stains of blood on them will all be burned up; they will only be fuel for a [big] fire.
Ganodini golili doaga: la: su dadi gagui dunu ilia emo salasu amola ilia abula amo da maga: mega ledo hamoi, huluane da laluga nei dagoi ba: mu.
6 Another reason that we will rejoice is that a [special] child will be born for us; [a woman will give birth to] a son, who will be our ruler. And his names will be ‘Wonderful Counselor’, ‘Mighty/Powerful God’, ‘[Our] Everlasting Father’, and ‘Prince/Ruler [who enables us to have] Peace’.
Bai ninima da Mano lalelegei. Gode da ninima Dunu Mano i dagoi. E da ninima ouligisu esalumu. Ema da dio agoane asuli ba: mu, amo, “Noga: idafa Fada: i Sia: su, Gode Bagadedafa, Fifi Ahoanusu Ada, Olofosu Ouligisu Bagade.”
7 His rule, and the peace that he [brings/causes], will never end. He will rule [MTY] fairly and justly [DOU], like [his ancestor King] David did. This will happen because the Commander of the armies of angels greatly desires that it happen.
Ea ouligisu hou da mae dagole, asigilalumu. Amola Ea Hinadafa Hou amo ganodini, olofosu fawane ba: mu. E da Hina bagade Da: ibidi ea ouligisu hou lamu. Ea ouligisu hou da moloidafa amola moloidafa fofada: su hou ba: mu, amola E da mae fisili, eso huluane ouligilalumu. Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amo hou huluane hamone dagomu.
8 The Lord has warned the people of Israel, the descendants of Jacob; he has said that [he will punish] them.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili Fi (Ya: igobe egaga fi) ilima fofada: ne se ima: ne sia: i dagoi.
9 And all the people in Samaria and [other places in] Israel know that, [but] they are very proud and arrogant [DOU]. They say, “Our city has been destroyed, but we will [take away the broken bricks from the ruins] [and] replace them with carefully cut stones. Our sycamore-fig trees have been cut down [by our enemies], but we will plant cedar trees [in their place].”
Hina Gode da amo hou hamoi dagoi, amo Isala: ili fi dunu huluane amola dunu huluane Samelia moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esala da dawa: mu. Wali ilia da gasa fili agoane,
amane sia: sa, “Osoboga hamoi ga: i (brick) diasu huluane da mugululi dagoi, be ninia da bu igiga hamoi diasu gagumu. Figi ifa huluane da abi dagoi, be ninia da bu dolo ifa bugimu.”
11 But Yahweh brought the armies of [Assyria], the enemies of King Rezin [of Syria, to fight] against Israel and incited [other] nations [to attack Israel].
Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu ilia ha lai ilima doagala: musa: , dogo denesi.
12 [The army of] Syria [came] from the east, and [the army of] Philistia [came] from the west, and they destroyed Israel [like a wild animal tears another animal apart and] [MET] devours it. But even after that happened, Yahweh was still very angry with them. He was ready to strike them with his fist again.
Ilima eso mabe la: idi Silia amola eso dabe la: idi Filisidia da Isala: ili moma: ne, ela lafi dagalesi dagoi. Be Hina Gode Ea ougi da hame dagoi. E da ilima se ima: ne, Ea lobo ililua: le lela.
13 [But even though] Yahweh punished his people [like that], they [still] did not return to him [and worship him]. They [still] did not request the Commander of the armies of angels [to assist them].
Isala: ili fi dunu da hame gogosiane, Godema hame sinidigi. Hina Gode Bagadedafa da ilima se i dagoi, be ilia da Ema hame sinidigi.
14 Therefore, in one day Yahweh will get rid of [those who are like] Israel’s head and [those who are like] its tail; the [ones who are like] the top of the palm tree and the [ones who are like] the bottom.
Hina Gode da eso afadafa fawane amo ganodini Isala: ili dunu amola ilia ouligisu dunu ilima se bidi imunu. E da ili hedofamu. Dialuma amola la: go, huluane E da hedofamu.
15 The leaders [DOU] of Israel are the head, and the prophets who tell lies are the tail.
Asigilai dunu amola dunu ilima eno dunu da nodosa, amo da Isala: ili ea dialuma. Amola ogogosu ba: la: lusu dunu amo da ilima ogogole olelesa, amo da la: go.
16 The leaders of the people have misled them; they have caused the people that they are ruling to be confused.
Isala: ili dunu ilia bisisu dunu da ilima ogogoiba: le, ilia da adi dafawaneyale dawa: ma: bela: le dawa: lala.
17 For that reason, Yahweh is not pleased with the young men [of Israel], and he does not [even] act mercifully toward the widows and orphans, because they are all ungodly and wicked, and they all say things that are foolish. [But] Yahweh still is angry with them; he is ready to strike them with his fist again.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da ayeligi dunu ilima hobeale logo hame olelemu. E da didalo amola guluba: mano ilima hame asigimu. Bai dunu huluane da Gode Ea hou yolesi dagoi. Ilia hou da wadela: i fawane ba: sa amola ilia sia: huluanedafa da wadela: i fawane. Be Hina Gode da amo se ianu, Ea ougi da hame dagoi ba: mu. E da se eno ima: ne, Ea lobo ililua: le lela.
18 When people do wicked things, it is like [SIM] a brushfire [that spreads rapidly]. It burns up [not only] briers and thorns; it starts a big fire in the forests from which clouds of smoke will rise.
Dunu huluane ilia wadela: i hou da lalu amo da aya: gaga: nomei amola gagalobo ulagilala defele gia: i bagade ba: sa. Ilia wadela: i hou da lalu amo da iwila ulagisia, mobi mogomogoi heda: sa, amo defele gia: i bagade ba: sa.
19 [It is as though] the [whole] land is burned [black] because the Commander of the armies of angels is extremely angry with the Israeli people. They will become like [SIM] fuel for that great fire, and no one will try to rescue even his [own] brother [from that fire].
Amola Hina Gode Bagadedafa da ougi bagadeba: le, Ea ougi da Isala: ili soge ganodini lalu agoane, dunu wadela: ma: ne nenana. Amola dunu da ea sama fane legesa.
20 Israeli people will attack their neighbors on the right [to get food from them], but they will still be hungry. They will [kill those who live in houses] on the left and eat their flesh, but their stomachs will still not be full.
Isala: ili soge ganodini, dunu huluane da ha: i bagadeba: le, ha: i manu lama: ne logo hogosa, be ilia da hamedafa sadisa. Ilia da ilia manodafa amo gobele naha.
21 [People of the tribes of] Manasseh and Ephraim will attack each other, and [then] they will both attack the people of Judah. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with them. He will be ready to strike them with his fist again.
Mana: se fi dunu da Ifala: ime fi dunu ilima doagala: sa amola Ifala: ime dunu da ilima bu doagala: sa. Amola ela gilisili Yuda dunuma doagala: sa. Be Hina Gode Ea ougi da hame gumi ba: sa. E da ilima se ima: ne, Ea lobo ililua: le lela.
