Aizaia 41

1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Hageri amu'nompima me'nea mopafima mani'naza vahe'mota, tamagasasana eritaganeta mani'neta, nagri kea antahiho. Kokankokama mani'naza vahe'mota hanave eneritma, erava'o huta nanekea hiho. Hagi keagama eri fatgoma hu kumate enketa, keaga eri fatgo hamneno.

[Yahweh says], “You [people who live on] [APO] islands in the ocean, be silent in front of me [while I ask you some questions]! Then you can be courageous and talk to me. We will meet together and decide [which one of us is right].

2 Zage hanati kaziga kini nera iza azeri otigeno vuno maka kaziga hara huzmagatenere? Iza mago'a kumate kini vahera azampina zamavarentegeno, zamazeri havizana nehuno bainati kazinteti'ene ati keveretira zamahe hanara nehie? Ana hige'za zaho'mo witi hona'a eri hareno freanknara huno ati'aretira zamahe hanara hu'ne.

Who has urged this king to come from the east? Who has enabled his [army] to righteously defeat many nations and to trample their kings under their feet? With their swords they cut [their enemies] into tiny pieces [HYP]; with their arrows they cause their enemies to scatter like [SIM] the wind scatters chaff.

3 Korapara agra vanoa osu'nea kante Agra ame huno zamarotago huno vu'ne. Anama nehuno'a agra hazenkea e'ori'ne.

Even though they march through areas where they have not gone previously, they pursue [their enemies] and continue to march, and nothing stops them.

4 Iza ese agafarera ama ana zantamina forera huo higeno forera hu'ne? Iza ese agafaretira vahera fore huo higeno fore huteno manino ne-e. Ese agafa Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na mani'ne'na, vagarera nagrake mani'noe.

Who has enabled rulers to do [DOU] mighty things like that? Who has done that throughout all generations? It is I, Yahweh; I was the first [one to do things like that], and I will be the last one [to do them].”

5 Hageri amu'nompima mani'naza vahe'mo'za anazama nege'za zamahirahi nerege'za koro nehaze. Ana nehazage'za afete mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za zamagogogu nehu'za magopi eme atru hu'naze.

[People who live on] [PRS] islands in the ocean are afraid while they watch. People in remote areas tremble and gather together.

6 Hagi maka tavao'zamirema mani'naza vahera zamazeri hankaveneti'za, korora osu hankavetita maniho hu'za zamasami'naze.

They encourage each other and say to each other, “Be strong!'

7 Zafareti'ma antre'zama keonke'zama tro'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zane, golima aeni trate'ma ante'za ru kutama nehaza vahemo'zanena, zamagra'a ozamazeri hankaveti azamazeri hankaveti hu'za knare eri'za enerune hu'za nehu'za, nirireti ana zama tro'ma hu'naza zana ahentrako hazageno evunoramie.

The craftsmen encourage those who make things from gold, and the men who flatten metal encourage those who hammer metal (on an anvil/into shape). They all say, “The idol has been well made!” And then they carefully nail down the idol in order that it will not topple over!

8 Hianagi tamagra Israeli vahera Nagri eri'za ne' Jekopu naga'mota, nagri roneni'a Abrahamumpinti efore hu'naza naga mani'nazage'na, nagri eri'za vahe manisnaze hu'na tamagrira ko huhampri ramante'noe.

[Yahweh says], “[You people of] Israel [are like] my servants; you are [descendants of] Jacob, whom I chose; [you are] descendants of Abraham, who [I said is] my friend.

9 Mopa ome atre eme atre hutegati tamagrira tamavre'na e'noe. Ana nehu'na nagri eri'za vahe mani'naze hu'na huhampri neramante'na, namefira huorami'noe.

I summoned you from very distant places [DOU] on the earth, and I said ‘I [want you to] serve me; I have chosen you, and I will not reject you.’

10 E'ina hu'negu korora osiho, na'ankure nagra tamagrane mani'noe. Nagra tamagri Anumza mani'noanki, antahintahi hakarea osiho. Nagra tamazeri hankaveneti'na, tamaza hugahue. Nagra tamagerfa hu'na hankavenentake tamaga nazampi tamazerigahue.

Do not be afraid, because I will (be with/help) you. Do not be discouraged, because I am your God. I will enable you to be strong, and I will help you; I will hold you up with my powerful arm by which you will be rescued.

11 Hanki antahiho, tamagri'ma zamarimpa aheneramantaza vahe'mo'za zamagazegu nehanage'za, zamagefenkami atregahaze. Ana nehanage'za tamagrima ha'ma reneramantaza vahe'mo'za fanane hu'za amne zankna hugahaze.

It is certain that all those who are angry with you [Israeli people] will be disgraced [DOU]. Those who oppose you will be wiped out; they will all die.

12 Hagi keha'ma reneramantaza vahekura keganti kegama hugahazanagi, ozmagetfa hugahaze. Ana nehanage'za ha'ma reneramantaza vahe'mo'za amne zankna hu'za fanane hugahaze.

If you search for those who tried to conquer you, you will not find them, [because they will all have disappeared]. Those who attacked you will not exist [any more].

13 Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noe. Ana hu'noanki'na tamaga tamazante tamazerine'na kegava huneramantoanki'na tamaza hugahuanki korora osiho hu'na neramasamue.

[It will be as though] I will hold you up by your right hand. I am Yahweh, your God, and I say to you, ‘Do not be afraid, [because] I will help you.’

14 Israeli vahera Jekopu nagara hagirafagna huta hankavetamia omane vahemota korora osiho. Na'ankure nagrake'za tamaza hugahue. Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagu'ma vazina tamavre'noa Anumzankina, Israeli vahetema Ruotgema hu'noa Anumza mani'noe.

Although you people of Israel [DOU] [think that you are as insignificant as] worms, do not be afraid [of your enemies], because I will help you. I am Yahweh, the one who rescues you; I am the Holy One of Israel.

15 Antahiho, witima refuzafu nepaza zafare'ma, kasefa ave'ama antegeno witima refuzafuma nepeaza hu'na tamagrira tamazeri retro ha'nena, agonaramina refuzafu'nepeta, ne'onse agonaramina witi akruma hareaza hugahaze.

[I will cause] you to be like [MET] a (threshing sledge/big piece of metal that has sharp teeth for separating grain from chaff). You will tear [your enemies to bits], causing them to be like bits of chaff on the mountains.

16 Witima harenaku zahopi matevigeno, zaho'mo hona'ama erino viaza huta zamazeri panini hanage'za vugahaze. Hianagi Ra Anumzana Israeli vahetema Ruotage'ma hu'noa Anumzamo'na nagi erisga nehutma, nagri hihamu hankavegura musena hugahaze.

You will toss them up into the air, and a strong wind will blow them away [DOU]. [When that happens], you will rejoice about what I [have done for you]; you will praise me, the Holy One of Israel.

17 Zamunte omne vahe'ene, nana zanku'ma atupa'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za tima ne'zankura zmanankemo'a tusiza huno hagege hanige'za tinkura hakegahazanagi onkegahaze. Hianagi nagra Israeli vahe'mofo Ra Anumza mani'noanki'na atupama hanaza zana nezami'na namefira huozmigahue.

When poor and needy people need water and they have no water, and their tongues are very dry because they are very thirsty, I, Yahweh, will come and help them. I, the God to whom you Israeli people belong, will never abandon them.

18 Nagra hanugeno hagegema hu'nea agonaramimpintira ranra tintamimo hageno ne-esnigeno, krahopintira kampui tintamimo'a nehanatisnige'no, hagegema hu'nea ka'ma kokampina hanugeno timo'a hanatino tirutamina marenevazisigeno, hagege huno kekokakoma hu'nesia mopafina tina evugahie.

I will cause rivers to flow for them on the barren hills. I will give them fountains in the valleys. I will fill [HYP] the desert with pools of water. Water from springs will flow into rivers, and the rivers will flow across the dry ground.

19 Hagegema hu'nea ka'ma kokampina, sida zafama, akasia zafama, meni zafama, olivi zafama, saipresi zafane, agigu agigu zafaramina nagra hanugeno magoka hageno marerigahie.

I will plant [trees] in the desert— cedar [trees], acacia [trees], myrtle [trees], olive [trees], cypress [trees], fir [trees], and pine [trees].

20 Anama hanige'za ana zantamima ke'za antahi'zama nehu'za, Ra Anumzamo'a agra'a azanteti tro hune hu'za nehu'za, Israeli vahetema Ruotage'ma hu'nea Anumzamo agra'a tro hu'ne hugahaze.

[I will do that] in order that people who see it will think about it, and they will know and understand [DOU] that it is [I], Yahweh, who have done it; it is what [I], the Holy One of Israel, have done.

21 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Keagatamia erita eme huama hiho. Israeli vahe kinimo'a keagafima ke hamaresaza nanekea erineta eho hu'ne.

[I], Yahweh, the true king of Israel say [to you nations], “Tell what your idols can do for you!

22 Kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro'ma hunte'nazana keagare'ma ne-eta eri'netma enke'za, na'a fore hugahifi eme tasamiho. Ko'ma evu'nea zamofo nanekea nerasamisageta, na'a fore hugahifi rezaganeta kamneno. Ana nehu'za henkama fore'ma hania zana hu fore hu'za tasamisageta antahisune.

Bring them here to tell us what is going to happen! Ask them to tell us what things happened long ago, in order that we may think about those things, and learn if those things that they predicted really happened. Or, ask them to tell us about the future, in order that we can know what will happen.

23 Hanki ana nehu'za henkama fore'ma hania zankura tasamisageta nentahita mani nesanunkeno, anazama fore'ma hanigeta, tamage anumza mani'naze huta hugahune. Havi zano knare zano tro hinketa negeta, antahintahi hakare nehuta korora hamneno.

[Yes], those idols should tell us what will happen in the future. If they do that, we will know that they are really gods. Tell them to do something—either something good or something bad! Tell them to do something that will cause us to be amazed and afraid!

24 Ana hu'neanagi zafare'ma antre'za tro'ma hu'naza havi anumzamota tamagra amneza manizageno, hankavetamia omne'ne. Hagi ana havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahera haviza hu'za himanage avu'ava'ene vahe mani'naze.

But [that is impossible, because] idols are absolutely worthless [HYP]; they can do nothing, and I detest those who decide [to worship] idols.”

25 Nagra noti kazigati mago nera ko huhampri ante'noankino, zage hanati kazigati ne-eno agra nagri nagi aheno husga hunantegahie. Ana nehuno mopa kavo tro nehaza vahe'mo'za zamagareti mopa henerazaza huno, zamagima me'nea kva vahera mopafi zamazeri atre vagaregahie.

“[But] I have incited/urged a ruler who will come [with his army] from the north. I have summoned him to come from [his country, which is] east [of Israel], and I have given him my authority [MTY]. I will [enable his army to conquer other rulers]; they will trample those leaders like [SIM] a man who makes clay pots first tramples the clay.

26 Mago'a kumamofo anumzamota, tamagripintira ina anumzamo, ko'ma maka'zama agafa huno fore'ma hu'neregati'ma, menima fore hania zamofonkura tasamigeta ko antahitonkeno ana zamo'a eforera nehigeta, e'i tamage hu'ne huta nehumpi? I'o magomo'e huno anara osigeno, mago vahemo'e huno kema hazankea ontahitfa hu'ne.

(Who told you people long ago that this would happen?/No one told you people long ago that this would happen!) [RHQ] (Who predicted it, with the result that we can say, ‘What he predicted was correct!’?/No one predicted it, with the result that we can say, ‘What he predicted was correct!’) [RHQ] No one else said that it would happen.

27 Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na nagrake, Saioni kumara asami'na, amanahu'za fore hugahianki ko hu'na hugeno ketege'na, Jerusalemi ran kumatera musenkema erino e'nia vahera huntogeno e'ne.

I was the first one to tell [the people of] Jerusalem, ‘Listen to this! I have appointed a messenger to tell good news to you!’

28 Hianagi nagrama koana ana havi anumzampintira mago'mo'e huno keaga huge, knare antahi'zana vahera amige, zamantahima kesuana mago'mo'e huno ke'niarera nona osugahie.

None of your idols told you that [DOU]. And when I asked them questions, none of them was able to give me any answers.

29 Hagi ko, zamagra amnezanki'za mago zana tro osugahaze. Ana havi anumzamofo zamema'a vahe'mo'za tro hu'naza zanki'za mago'zana osu'za fanane hu'za amne zankna hugahaze.

Think about it: Those idols are all useless, worthless [DOU] things. They are [as meaningless as] [MET] the wind.”
