Aizaia 22

1 Hanki Ava'nagnazane nehaza agupofima fore hania zamofo nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Na'a higeta mika vahe'mota nontamimofo agofetura marenerize?

[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Jerusalem, about the valley where [Yahweh showed me] this vision. Why is everyone foolishly running up to their [flat] rooftops?

2 Rankumapima nemaniza vahe'mota tusi tamagasasa neruta kereso nehaza vahe mani'naze. Hagi kuma karampima fri'za mase'naza vahera, bainati kazinteti zamahazage'za frige, hapinti zamahazage'za frigera osu'naze.

Everyone in the city [seems to] be shouting. [There are a lot of] corpses [in the city], [but they] were not killed by [their enemies’] swords. They did not die in battles; [instead, they died from diseases and hunger].

3 Hagi maka tamagri kva vahe'mo'za magoka koro fre'za afete vu'nazanagi, ha' vahe'mo'za ati keveretira hara huoramante amne akohe'za tamazeri'naze. Hagi koro freta afete vunazanagi, hake'za tamavre'za mika kina huramante'naze.

All the leaders of the city fled. [But then] they were captured because they did not have bows [and arrows to defend themselves]. Your [soldiers tried to] flee while the enemy [army] was still far away, but they also were captured.

4 E'ina hu'negu amanage hu'na tamagrikura nehue, nagrikura kea osuta natrenke'na mani'nena vahe'nimo'zama havizama nehaza zanku zavi krafa nehu'na manigahuanki, nazeri fruma hu'zankura antahintahi hakarea osiho.

That is why I said, “Allow me to cry alone; do not try to comfort me [about my people being slaughtered].”

5 Na'ankure Ava'nagnazanema nehaza agupofima fore'ma hania zamofonkna Monafi hankavenentake sondia vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a huhampri ante'neankino, ana knama esigeno'a vahe'mo'za kezankege nehu'za agasasankemo'ma hania zankura koro nehanageno, ha' vahe'mo'za e'za kuma kegina eme tapage nehanage'za, agonaramintega kezati anagamu atregahaze.

The Commander of the armies of angels has [chosen] a time when there will be a great uproar, [soldiers] marching, and people being terrified in the valley [where I received this] vision. [It will be a time when our city] walls will be battered down and [the people’s] cries [for help] will be heard in the mountains.

6 Hagi Elamu sondia vahe'mo'za ati kevezamia zamazampi eri'ne'za hosi afu zamine, karisi zamine eri'za hahunaku neaze. Ana nehazage'za Kiri ran kumate vahe'mo'za ha'ma hanaza hanko zamia eri'za neaze.

The armies from Elam and Kir [in Media] will attack, driving chariots and carrying shields.

7 Knare zantfama hu'nea agupo mopatamifina, karisimoke'za avite'ne. Ana nehige'za hosi afu agumpima mani'nezama ha'ma nehaza sondia vahe'mo'za ran kumamofona ranra kafaramintera ha'hunaku retrotra hu'za mani'naze.

Our beautiful valleys will be filled with [our enemies’] chariots and the men who drive the chariots will stand outside [our city] gates.

8 Juda vahe'ma zamagu'ma nevaziza zana Anumzamo'a e'inahu huno eri atregahie. Ana hanigeta ana knafina Zafa tanope hu'za nehaza nompima ante'naza ha' zantaminte amuhara hugahaze.

The walls that protect [the cities in] Judah will fall down. You [people of Jerusalem] will run to get the weapons [that are stored in the building called] “the Hall of the Forest”.

9 Hagi tamagrama kazana Jerusalemi ran kumamofo keginafina, rama'a kantamimo ankronkru hu'negetma ke'naze. Ana hu'negetma fenka kaziga Deviti rankumapima me'nea tirupi tina henkani'naze.

You will see that there are many breaks/holes in the walls of Jerusalem. You will store water in the lower pool [in the city].

10 Ana nehutma tamagra Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea nontamina nehampritma, mago'a nona tapage hutma ana noma ki'naza haveraminteti kuma kegina eri hankavetita tro hu'naze.

You will inspect the houses in Jerusalem, and [some of] them you will tear down to use the stones to repair the [city] wall.

11 Hanki tamagra anama huteta, ko'ma me'nea tirupinti'ma tima avrentenakura kuma keginamofo amu'nompi tima eme marevazi kumara retro hu'naze. Hianagi Anumzamo'ma korapa'ma e'inahu'za fore hugahie huno'ma kema hunte'nere'ma ama ana zamo'ma eforema nehia ne'mofona antahimita amagera onte'naze.

Between the walls [of the city] you will build a reservoir to [store] water from the old pool. But you will never request help from the one who made the city; you have never depended on Yahweh, who planned this city long ago.

12 E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a ana knafina huzmanteno zavi krafa nehuta, tamaseni tamazokara vazagate netreta, tamasunku kukena erintaniho hu'ne.

The Commander of the armies of angels told you to weep and mourn; he told you to shave your heads and to wear rough sackcloth to show that you were sorry for the sins that you had committed.

13 Hianagi tamagra anara nosutma bulimakao afutamine, sipisipi afutamine aheta ne'zana kreta nenetma, waini tinena neta musenkase nehutma amanage nehaze, okina frisnunku enketa ne'zane tinena neneta, musenkasea hamneno nehaze.

But instead of doing that, you were happy and celebrating; you slaughtered cattle and sheep, [in order to cook their] meat and eat it and drink wine. You said, “Let’s eat and drink [all that we want to], because [it is possible that] we will die tomorrow!”

14 Hianagi nentahugeno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a eama huno amanage hu'ne, tamagrama hu'naza kumira eri atre oramantesugeta mani'neta frigahaze huno hu'ne.

[So] the Commander of the armies of angels revealed this to me: “I will never forgive my people for sinning like this!”

15 Hanki Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Kini ne'mofo nompima kvama hu'nea ne' Sibnante evunka amanage hunka ome asamio,

The Commander of the armies of angels said this [to me]: “Go to Shebna, the official who supervises the workers in the palace, and give this message to him:

16 Sibnaga kagra amafina na'a nehane? Kagra izaga have agonafina huzmantanke'za havea taga hu'za unefraze. Ama ana havegamo'a kagri'ma asegantesnaza mati megahie.

'[Who do you think you are?] Who gave you the authority to build a beautiful tomb where you will be buried, chiseling it out of the rocky cliff high above this valley?

17 Hagi kva huo! Kagra hankave ne' mani'nananagi Ra Anumzamo'a kazeriteno kavazu huno vuno matevuno katregahie.

You [think that you are] [IRO] a great man, but Yahweh is about to hurl you away. [It will be as though] he will seize you,

18 Hagi kagrira mago baligna huno kazeri kagigagi huno kazeri antumo huteno, mago vahe omani ka'ma kokampi matevuno katregahie. Ana hanigenka anantega frisnankeno, konariri'ane karisikamo'a anantega megahie. Kagra kinimofo eri'za vahe mani'nananagi, kinimofo nagara zamagaze eri zamigahane.

and roll/crumple you into a ball and throw you away into a large distant land. You will die [and be buried] there, and your beautiful chariots will stay there [in the hands of your enemies]. And [because of what happens to you], your master, [the king], will be [very] ashamed/disgraced.

19 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, kagrama enerina eri'zampintira kazeri henkami netre'na kahegasope tregahue.

Yahweh will force you to quit working in the palace; you will be demoted from your important position.

20 Hagi ana knafina eri'za vaheni'a Hilkia nemofo Eliakimina ke hanugeno esanige'na,

Then I will summon Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, who has served serve me [well], to replace you.

21 kagrama nentanina zaza kukena Nagra eri'na agri antanintegahue. Ana nehu'na kagrama kratimpafima renentana kamu nofira, eri'na agri renente'na, kagri eri'zana agri erimigahue. Ana hanugeno maka Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahete'ene, ana maka Juda vahera nafa zamigna huno manigahie.

I will allow him to wear your robe, and to fasten your sash around him, and I will give to him the authority that you had. He will be like [MET] a father to the people of Jerusalem and [all the other] towns in Judah.

22 Ana hutena Nagra agri azo'narera Deviti naga'mofo ki nofira anakintegahue. Ana hanugeno, agrama erinagi'nia kahana mago vahe'mo'a eri onkinigeno, agrama erigi'nia kahana mago vahe'mo'a eri onagigahie.

I will give to him authority [MTY] over [what happens in] the palace where King David [lived]; when he decides something [MET], no one will be able to oppose it; when he refuses to do something, no one will be able to force him to do it.

23 Hanki ana eri'zama aminu'a eri'zampina, seli nomofo nofi avazuhumpi hu'za mopafi aini azota ahazageno ufreno azeri kona hiaza huno, ana eri'zampina mani hankavetino manigahie. Ana hanige'za Eliakimima erisnia erizantera agri naga'mo'za knare zamagi erigahaze.

I will cause his family to be greatly respected, because I will put him firmly in his position [as supervisor of the workers in the palace], like [SIM] a nail that is firmly hammered into a wall.

24 Ana hanige'za naga'amo'za agriteke zamazama hanigura zamavua antegahaze. Naga'amo'zane agrama kasezmante'nimo'za, kavoramine kapuraminema azotare'ma hantintazaza hu'za agriteke hanti'za manigahaze.

Others will enable him to have much responsibility, with the result that all the members of his family, even the most insignificant ones, will be honored.'”

25 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'na amanage nehue, Ana knafina ana azeri konama hu'nea azotamo'a hantagi ramigahie. Ana hanige'za agrite'ma hagerafine'zama knama nemiza naga'mo'za, kurarampe'za uramigahaze. Ra Anumzamo'na ama'na nanekea nehue huno hu'ne.

[But] the Commander of the armies of angels also says, “[Shebna is like] [MET] a peg that is firmly fastened to the wall. But there will be a time when I will [remove him from his position]; he will lose his power/influence, and everything that he promoted [MET] will fail. [That will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh, have said it.”
