Aizaia 43

1 Hianagi Jekopu naga'ma tamagri'ma tro'ma huneramanteno, Israeli vahe'ma tamazeri fore'ma hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Korora osiho, Nagra tamagu'vazi'na tamavre'noe. Na'ankure tamagra nagri su'za mani'naze hu'na tamagi ahe'na tamavre'noe.

But now, you people of Israel, listen to Yahweh, the one who established your nation. The one who caused you to become a nation [DOU] says this: “Do not be afraid, because I previously rescued you. I enabled you to have a personal relationship with me [MTY], and you belong to me.

2 Hanki tintamima takama ahenage'na nagra tamagrane mani'nenugeno tima hagenia timo'a tamazeri onakrigahie. Hagi teve neresifi ufregahazanagi, tevemo'a tamare orasagegahie.

When you [experience dangerous situations], and [you feel like] [MET] you are crossing deep rivers, I will be with you. When you have very big troubles/difficulties, you will [LIT] be able to endure them. When [people try to kill you like they tried to kill Daniel’s three friends by] throwing them in a fire, you will not [die, just like Daniel’s three friends were not] burned up,

3 Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noe. Israeli vahete'ma ruotage'ma hu'ne'na tamagu'vazi'na tamavre'noa Anumza mani'noe. Isipi vahe'ma, Kusi vahe'ma, Seba vahe'enena tamagri nona hu'na miza nezamina tamagrira tamavre'noe.

because I am Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, the one who rescues you. I will enable [the army of the emperor of Persia] to conquer Egypt instead of conquering you; similarly I will enable them to conquer Ethiopia, and Seba [in Arabia], in order that you can be saved.

4 Na'ankure tamagra nagri navurera knare zantfa hu'nazage'na tamage sga hu'nena, navesi neramantoe. Ana hu'noanki'na tamagri'ma tamagu'ma vazi'na tamavrenakura mago'a vahe zamatroge'za tamagri nona eri'za nefrizage'na tamagrira tamavre'noe.

I will cause other countries to be conquered, instead of your country; I will trade them for you, in order that you will not be killed, because you are very precious [DOU] to me and because I love you.

5 Nagra tamagrane mani'noanki korora osiho. Tamagri'ene mofavre nagatamima zage hanati kazigane zage fre kazigama mani'nazana nagra magopi tamavre atru hugahue.

Do not be afraid, because I am with you. [Some day] I will gather your descendants from the east and from the west.

6 Ana nehu'na noti kazigama mani'naza vahekura zamatrenke'za eho nehu'na, sauti kazigama mani'naza vahekura zamaze'ori zamatrenke'za eho hu'na hugahue. Hagi afete kokantegatira ne'mofavre naga'ni'a zamavare'na ne-e'na, mopamo ome atretegatira mofa'ne nagani'a ete zamavare'na egahue.

I will command the [rulers of the nations to] the north and to the south, ‘Allow all the people of Israel to return [to their country], from the most distant places on the earth.

7 Nagriku'ma Anumzantie hu'zama nagima nehaza vahe'mo'za eme atru hugahaze. Na'ankure ra nagi namisaze hu'na trohu zmante'noanki'na, Nagrake'za zamazeri fore hu'na tro huzmantoge'za mani'naze.

Allow all those who belong to me [MTY] to return, because I have caused them to become a nation in order that they would honor me; I am the one who has done that [DOU].’

8 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Zamavuma ke'zana zamavurga megeno, kema antahi'zana zamagesa me'neanagi, zamavu asuhu vahe nese'za, zamagesa ankanire vahe'ma nesaza vahera ke hutru hiho.

Summon the people who have eyes but [it is as though] they are blind; summon those who have ears but [because they do not listen to me, it is as though] they are deaf.

9 Maka kokankokama ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za magopi eme eri atru nehaze. Hagi ana vahe amu'nompintira iza otino ama ana zankura huamara nehuno, ko'ma evu'nea zantamina taveri hugahie. Keagare'ma oti knazupa zamasaminke'za tamage nehaze hu'zama keagafima zamazama hanaza vahera zamavare'ne'za eho. Anama hanage'za mago'a vahe'mo'za nentahi'za e'i tamage nehaze hu'za hugahaze.

Gather people of all nations together, ones from all people-groups, [and ask them this]: ‘Has any of their idols foretold the things that are happening now? And can any of them predict what will happen in the future?’ Then bring people who will testify and say ‘I heard them predict things, and what they predicted was what happened,’ [but they will be lying].”

10 Hianagi maka'zama hu'noa zanku'ma tamage nehiema huta huamama hanaza vahera tamagra Israeli vahe mani'naze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Nagri eri'za vahe mani'naze hu'na huhampri tamante'noa vahe mani'nazankita, Nagrira nageta antahita huta tamentintia nehuta nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne huta hugahaze. Korapara nagrikna anumzana tro huntageno omani'neankino, henka'a nagrikna anumzana tro huontegahaze.

But Yahweh says, “You people of Israel (are my witnesses/know what I have done), and you are the ones who serve me. I chose you in order that you would know me, believe in me, and understand that I am the only one who is [truly] God. There is no other [true] God. There was no other [true] God previously, and there will never be another [true] God.

11 Nagrake Ra Anumzana mani'noankino, nagrira nagatereno mago'mo'a anumzana manino tamagura ovazigahie.

I, [only] I, am Yahweh, and there is no other one who can save you.

12 Nagra erinte ama hu'na, tamagura vazite'na huama hu'noe. Ana hu'neankino magore huno ru anumzana tamagranena omani'ne. E'ina hu'negu tamagra Nagriku'ma Anumza mani'ne huta huama'ma hanaza vahe mani'naze. Nagrake'za Anumzana mani'noe.

I said that I would rescue [your ancestors], and then I rescued them, and I proclaimed [that I had done it]. No foreign god among you did that! And you are witnesses that only I, Yahweh, am God.

13 Korapara Nagrake mani'na e'noa Anumzana mani'noakino, mago zamo'a nazampima azerinesua vahera avre otregahie. Nagrama mago zama hanugeno'a, mago vahe'mo'a eri otregahie.

I am God, the one who has existed forever and who will exist forever; no one can snatch people from my hand, and no one can alter/change what I have done.”

14 Israeli vahe'motare'ma Ruotage'ma hu'neno, ete tamavre'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Tamagrama knare huta manisagu hu'na sondia vahera huzmantesnuge'za vu'za, Babiloni vahera ha' ome huzmantesnage'za, musema nehu'za ra zamagima eneriza ventefi koro fre'za vugahaze.

Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, is the one who rescues you; and this is what he says: “For your sake, I will send [an army] to [attack] Babylon. They will force the people of that city to flee in ships which they have been proud of.

15 Nagra tamagri Ra Anumzana Ruotage'ma hu'noa Anumza mani'noe. Ana hu'noanki'na nagrake Israeli vahera tamazeri fore hu'nena, tamagri kinia mani'noe.

I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the one who caused Israel to become a nation, and the one who is really your king.

16 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Iza hagerimpina kana eri fore nehuno hanavenentake timpina kana vari'ne.

I am Yahweh, the one who opened a path through the water, making a road through the [Red] Sea.

17 Ana hige'za ana kampina hankave sondia vahetamine, hosi afutamine, karisiraminena huzmantoge'za e'naze. Ana hu'nazanagi lamu tavi husu higeno asu hiaza hu'za zamagra otigara osu'za timpi urami'za fri'naze.

Then I summoned the great army [of Egypt] to come with all their chariots and horses. [But when they tried to pursue my people], I caused the waves to flow over them [and they drowned]; their lives ended [like the light of a candle ends when someone] [MET] snuffs out the wick.

18 Hianagi korapa'ma fore'ma hu'nesnia zankura tamagesa ontahiho. Ko'ma evu'nesnia zankura antahintahia osiho.

But do not think [only] about what happened in the past, long ago [DOU].

19 Hagi nagra menina kasefa'za tro nehuanki keho. Hagi ana zamo'a tima hanatiaza huno efore nehianki, tamagra nonkazo. Nagra ka'ma kokampina kana nevari'na, hagege kokampina hanugeno timo'a hanatino evugahie.

Instead, consider the new thing that I am going to do. I have already started to do it; can you see it? I am going to make a road through the desert. And I will cause there to be streams in the wasteland/desert.

20 Ana hanige'za afi zagagafamozane afi kramo'zane, mananinkna nama ostretimo'zanena nagi'a erisga hugahaze. Na'ankure hagege kokampine, ka'ma kokampinena Nagra hanugeno tina hanatino egahiankiza, nagrama huhampri'noa vahe'mo'za tina negahaze.

The jackals/wolves and owls and other wild creatures will thank me for giving them water in the desert. I will cause streams to appear in the dry desert in order that my people, the ones whom I have chosen, will have water;

21 Nagri vahe manisaze hu'nama tro huzmante'noa vahe'mo'za nagri nagi huama nehu'za ahentesga hugahaze.

I will do that for the people whom I have created [and chosen] to belong to me, and [some day] they will cause many others to praise me.

22 E'ina hu'neanagi tamagra Jekopu naga'mota nagri nagia aheta monora hunontaze. Hianagi Israeli nagamota Nagrira tamavesra hunentaze.

But now, you descendants of Jacob, you refuse to request my help. It seems that you people of Israel have become tired of worshiping me.

23 Tamagra sipisipi afutamina avreta eta nagritega tevefina kre fananehu ofa nosuta, mago'a ofanena huta nagri nagia erisga osu'naze. Hianagi mago'a ofane, mnanentake'za insensia nagritera kreta ofa hunanteho hu'na tutu hu'na tamagrira knazana ontami'noe.

You have not brought to me sheep or goats for offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]; you have not honored me by [bringing to me any] sacrifices, even though the offerings of grain and incense [that I asked you] to bring to me were not a burden to you.

24 Hagi tamagra mnanentake'za insensia zagoretira mizaseta ofa huontege, ofama haza afutamimofo afovaretira nazeri musena osu'naze. Hianagi tamagra kumi huta kna nenamita, kefo tamavu tamava'ma hazazamo nazeri navesra nehie.

You have bought for me fragrant reeds, and you have brought me the fat from your sacrifices. But these have not pleased me, because you have burdened me by all the sins that you have committed, and made me weary because of all (your iniquities/the wrong things that you have done).

25 Hianagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na nagimofo knare zanku nagesa nentahi'na, maka kumitamia eri atre vaganere'na mago'enena nagesa ontahigahue.

I am the one who is able to forgive you for all your sins; I am the only one who can do that, with the result that I will never think about them again.

26 Hanki keagare enketa magopi keaga huta eri fatgo nehanunketa, hazenketia omane'nea vahe mani'none huta keagafi huama hinketa, e'i tamage nehazafi antahimneno

Tell me what I have done that you do not like. Do you think that when you state your case, you will prove that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong) [IRO]?

27 Korapara tamagehe'za kumira nehazageno, tamagri tamagi'ma eriza keagama nehaza vahe'mo'za ha' renenante'za nagri kea rutagre'naze.

No, [what has happened is that] the first ancestor of you Israelis sinned [against me], and since then, all your leaders have rebelled against me.

28 E'ina hu'negu tamagri pristi vahe'ma mono nompima eri'zama eneriza vahera, zamazeri zamagaze nehu'na, Jekopu nagara zamazeri havizantfa hanuge'za, Israeli vahera kiza zokago ke huramantesnageta tamagaze zanku hugahaze.

That is why I have caused your priests to be disgraced; and I have allowed others to destroy you people of Israel and caused you to be despised.”
