Aizaia 28

1 Tasunku hugantone. Efraemi naga'mo'zama nemaniza rankumamoka, knare'nare kavasase zankamo nehigenka mani'nanke'za, Efraemi naga'mo'za aka ti nene'za zamavufaga erisga nehaze. Hagi ana rankumamoka tra'zamo knare avasase renteaza hunka, agona kaziga knare agupo mopafi hentofa waini hoza ante'nane. Hianagi kavufgama erisgama nehana zana, mago zupa zagemo traza te vamagiaza hunka haviza hugahane.

Terrible things will happen to [Samaria city, the capital of Israel]! It is on a hill above a fertile valley; the people who live there, who get drunk by drinking too much wine, are very proud; it is a beautiful and glorious city, but some day that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up.

2 Hanki ko, Ra Anumzamo'a hankavenentake sondia vahera ko huhampri'neankino ana vahe huzmantesige'za e'za tusi ko'mopa komo'ene tusi'a zahomo'ene timo'ene hageno refiteaza hu'za ame hu'za zamahe'za mopafi refitegahaze.

Listen to this: Yahweh will cause a great army to attack Samaria. Their soldiers will be like [SIM] a huge hailstorm [or] a very strong wind; they will be everywhere, like the water of a huge flood, and they will smash to the ground [the buildings in Samaria].

3 Hagi Efraemi naga'mozama aka tima nene'za, Sameria kumaku'ma zamimizama runafe'ma nehaza vahera ha' vahe'mo'za zamagiareti eme rentrako hu'za zamare hapatigahaze.

The people of Samaria are proud, but everything that the drunks who live there think is wonderful/glorious will be trampled on by their enemies.

4 Hagi kagra knare agona mopafi flauamo avasase zama'ane me'neankna hunka mani'nane. Hianagi zafa raga tagi knama zahufama ome'negeno, ame huno mago fiki zafa ragamo afure'negeno, mago vahe'mo keteno ame huno tagino neankna hugahaze.

[Yes], Samaria is beautiful, set on a hill above a fertile valley, but that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up. Whenever someone sees a good fig at the beginning of the season [when figs become ripe], he quickly picks and eats it; [similarly, when the enemies of Israel see all the beautiful things in Samaria], [they will quickly conquer the city and take away all those things].

5 Hanki ana knafima osi'a naga'ma ofri'ma manisnaza nagatera Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a zamasenire'ma kini fetorima avasasezama anteaza huno Agra'a manigahie.

At that time, the Commander of the armies of angels will be [like] a glorious wreath of flowers for [us] Israeli people who are still alive [after being exiled].

6 Ana nehuno trate'ma mani'neno kema refkoma hanimofona, fatgoma huno kema refko hu avamu Anumzamo'a nemino, hankavemati'za ha'ma hu'za kuma'ma aguvazisnaza sondia vahera hankave zamisige'za kuma kafantera otigahaze.

He will cause our judges to want to do what is fair/just when they decide people’s cases. He will enable the soldiers who stand at the city gates to strongly defend [the city when our enemies attack it].

7 Hagi kasnampa vahe'ene pristi vahe'mo'za zamagranena waini tine aka tine nene'za tusi neginagi nehu'za, umasete emasete hu'za kana nevaze. Hagi Anumzamo'ma zamaveri'ma nehia kasnampa vahe'mo'za keso'ea nosazage'za, pristi naga'moza vahe'mokizmi knazama refkoma hazafina kezmifina hantga nehaze.

[But now, ] our leaders stagger/stumble because they have drunk a lot of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks. The priests and prophets also stagger because of drinking a lot of wine and other alcoholic drinks. They are not able to think right; they see visions but they cannot understand what they mean; they are unable to decide things correctly.

8 Hagi mani'naza tratera amu'mati'naza zamo avitegeno, magore huno amne kankamuna omanetfa hu'ne.

All their tables are covered with [their] vomit; filth is everywhere.

9 Ana vahe'mo'za amanage nehaze, agra iza antahi'zana rempi hunemino, naneke'a izante eri ama huno asaminakura nehuno, iza aminte osi mofavrea mani'nea mofavremofo asaminakura nehie hu'za nehaze.

They ridicule Yahweh saying, “Who does he think that he is teaching? Why is he talking to us like this? [Does he think that] we are little children who have recently been weaned?

10 Agra maka zupa ana nanekege'za nehie. Mago ne'mo'ma osi mofavremofoma eri amatfa huno osite osite isare isare, trate trate e'ina huo huteno, amana huo huteno'ma hiaza nehie.

[He continually tells us], ‘Do this, do that;’ first he tells us one rule, then another rule, he tells us only one line at a time.”

11 Ana hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a ru vahe zamagipi huvazino, ontahi'nesnaza zamagerupinti vahe'amofona nanekea huzamigahie.

So now, Yahweh will need to force them to listen to [Assyrians] speaking to them in a language that they do not understand.

12 Hagi ana vahekura Anumzamo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, ama kumara mani fruhu kumaki, zamatrenke'za knazama eneriza vahe'mo'za mani fru hiho. Hianagi ana kea ontahi'naze.

Yahweh told his people [long ago], “[This is] a place where you can rest; you are exhausted [from all your travels through the desert], but you will be able to rest [in this land].” But they refused to pay attention to what he said.

13 E'ina hu'negu osi mofavrema rempi hunezamizaza huno, Ra Anumzamo'a agra'a eri amatfa huno isare isare, trate trate e'ina hiho huteno, amana hiho huteno osite osite fru huno kea nezmasamina zamefira rukrahe hu'za traka hu'za hazenke eri'za mase'nesage'za eme zamazeri'za vugahaze.

So Yahweh continues to tell the people of Samaria, one line at a time, “Do this, do that,” first one rule and then another rule. But because [of their ignoring what God said], they will be attacked and defeated; they will be wounded and snared and captured.

14 E'ina hu'negu Jerusalemi rankumate'ma mani'netama ki'za zokago kema nehaza kva vahera Ra Anumzamofo nanekea antahiho.

Because of [what will happen in Samaria], you rulers in Jerusalem who make fun of me, listen to this message from Yahweh:

15 Na'ankure tamagra amanage hutma nehaze, tagra fri'zane huvempa nehuta, fri vahe kuma'ene keaga huhagerafi'none nehaze. Hagi henka knazama esania knazamo'a, tavakora osugahie. Na'ankure tagrama havigema nehuna kemo, tagu'vazina manigahune nehuta, vahe'ma rezmavatgama nehuna zamo frakirantegahie huta nehaze. (Sheol h7585)

You [boast] saying, “We have made an alliance with [the leaders of Egypt], so we will not be killed [in battles]; we will never go to the place where the dead people are. When the [army of Assyria] attacks us, they will never defeat us, because we have made [an agreement with Egypt] to protect us!” [But that agreement consists of] a lot of lies [DOU]. (Sheol h7585)

16 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie, Antahiho, noma renagentete'ma asenentaza havea hanavenentake higeno zago'amo'a mareri'nea havea Saioni agonare asente'noankino, iza'o ana havere'ma amentintima hanimo'a agazegura huno antahintahi hakarea osugahie.

Therefore, Yahweh [our] Lord says this: “Listen to this! I am going to place in Jerusalem [someone who is like] [MET] a foundation stone, [he is like] a stone that has been tested [to determine if it is solid]. [He will be like] a valuable cornerstone around which it will be safe to build a house; and whoever trusts in him will never be disappointed.

17 Hagi fatgoma huno kema refkohu avu'avara, kema refkoma hu'za nente'na, fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'ava zana, fatgoma huno refkoma hu'za antegahue. Ana hanugeno havigema nehu'za framanekiza kumazmia, tusi ununko'mo runo tina hageno eno emeri haviza huno vugahie.

I will test you [people of Jerusalem] to find out if you will act justly and righteously [like] [MET] someone uses a plumb line [to determine if a wall is straight and vertical]. But because your agreement [with Egypt] to protect you [was made by leaders] lying to each other and deceiving each other, you will be defeated and taken away [from your country] by [an army that will come against you like] [MET] a flood.

18 Hagi ofrigahunema huta fri'zanema huvempama hu'naza nanekea eri atresugeno, fri vahe kuma'enema huhagerafi'naza nanekemo'a amne zankna hugahie. Ana nehanigeno henkama esania knazamo'a, eme tamazeri haviza huno tamare hapatigahie. (Sheol h7585)

I will annul/destroy the agreement that you made [with the leaders of Egypt]. You thought that [because of that agreement] you would not be killed, and you would not go to the place where the dead are. [But] when the vast [army of Assyria] overwhelms you like a flood, they will trample you into the ground. (Sheol h7585)

19 Ana knazamo'a tamagerfa huno tamatreno ovuno, hanine zagene maka knafinena tamagrane meno vugahie. Hagi ama ana kemofo agafa'ama antahi ama'ma hanutma antri nehutma tamagogogu hugahaze.

Their soldiers will come during the morning, at noontime, and at night, and they will carry you all away.” And when you understand this message, you will be terrified.

20 Hagi mase sipamo'a atupa higeno, kofino'ma mase kafe'mo'ma atupa hu'negeno vahe'mo kenage mase so'e nosiaza hutma mase so'ea osugahaze.

[You have heard people say], “Your bed is very short, you will not be able to sleep in it; your blankets are very narrow; they will not cover you!” [That means for you that your agreement with Egypt is not going to save you].

21 Na'ankure Perasimi agonafine, Gibioni agupofima ko'ma hu'neaza huno hankave'ane Ra Anumzamo'a eno eri'zama'a erigahuema huno hu'nea eri'zana emerigahie. Hianagi ana eri'zama erisniana tamagrama antahi'naza kantera e'orino, ruzahu kna eri'za erigahie.

Yahweh will come [and cause you to be defeated]; he will do to you like he did to the army of Philistia at Perizim Mountain and like he did to the Amor people-group at Gibeon Valley. What he will do will be [very] strange and unusual [DOU].

22 E'ina hu'negu kiza zokago kema nehaza zana atreho. Hagi anama osnazana ko'ma mani'naza avamena agatereta tusi'a knazampi ufregahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a, ama maka mopa eri haviza hugahue huno hu'nea naneke nehue.

The Commander of the armies of angels has told me that he is going to destroy the entire land. So do not ridicule [what I say any more], because if you do that he will punish you [even] more severely.

23 Hagi menina tamagesa ante so'e hu'neta, nagrama hanua nanekea antahiho.

Listen [IDM] to what I say; pay attention carefully.

24 Hagi magora hozama nentea ne'mo'a hozama ante'nakura mopage'za rehankori vava huno nevifi? Anara nehuno mopage'za rupopo huvava huno vugahifi?

When a farmer plows some ground, does he never plant seeds [RHQ]? Does he continue to plow it and never plant anything [RHQ]?

25 Hagi mopama rehankorino eri ante fatgoma huteno'a, anampina haninke mepo nehankreno, witia kankamunte erinte fatgo huno nehankreno, balia kankamu'are nehankreno, hozamofo ankinarega raisia kri kanegiaza me'ne.

No, he makes the ground very level, and then he plants seeds— dill and cumin and wheat and barley. He plants each kind of seed in the correct manner.

26 Hozama erinte fatgoma huno ante antahintahia Anumzamo'a rempi hunemie.

[He does that] because God has taught him the correct way to do it.

27 Hagi haninke mepo'a, witima refuzafumanepea zafaretira, refuzafuranope. Witima refuzafupe zafama donki afumo'ma renteno vano nehia zafaretira kohera refuzafunope. Hianagi mepoma amasaginakura osi kanonteti nemasagino, ra kanontetira nomasagiaza me'ne.

[Farmers] never thresh caraway/dill with a heavy sledge/club; instead, they beat it only with a stick. [Farmers] never thresh cumin by driving a cart over it; instead, they hit it [only] with a rod.

28 Hagi witi raga refuzafupeno bretia tro nehie. E'ina hu'negu zazatera refuzafupe vava osugahie. Na'ankure hosi afutema rentesia karisiretima witima zazate'ma refuzafumapeniana haviza hugahie.

And grain for baking bread is crushed easily, so the farmers do not continue to pound it for a long time. They sometimes cause their horses to pull a cart over it [to thresh it], [but] doing that does not grind the grain.

29 Hagi ana maka eri'zama eri antahi'zana, Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamofontegati ne-e. Vahe'ma azeri fatgoma hu kaziga knare hu'neno, knare antahi'zampina avite'ne.

The Commander of the armies of angels gives [us] wonderful advice [about how to do things]; he causes [us] to be very wise. [So what the farmers do is very smart/wise, but what your leaders are doing is very stupid].
