Aizaia 44
1 Hianagi menina tamagra Israeli vahera Jekopu naga'mota Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hianki antahiho, Nagri eri'za vahe manigahaze hu'na ko huhampari tamante'noe.
But now, you people of Israel whom Yahweh has chosen to serve him, listen to me.
2 Hagi tamagri'ma tro'ma huno tamazeri fore'ma hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, antatamimofo rimpafina Nagra tamazeri fore hu'noanki'na, kegava huramantegahue. Nagri eri'za vahe Jekopugagu'ma Jeshurumu'ema nehazage'nama huhampri'noa ne'moka korora osuo.
Yahweh, the one who created you and helps you, says this: “You dear people of Israel whom I have chosen, you who serve me, do not be afraid.
3 Na'ankure hagege huno tima omane'nea mopafina tina tagi netre'na, hagege mopafina hanugeno tina evugahie. Ana nehu'na tamagrama kase zamantesnaza mofavre nagatera avamuni'a eri herafinetrena henkama zamagripinti'ma efore hunante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahera asomu huzmantegahue.
I will pour water on your dry land and cause streams to flow. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants and greatly bless them.
4 Zamagra trazamo tretre huno hageaza nehu'za, tinkenare me'nea popra zafamo hageaza hugahaze.
They will grow up like [SIM] grass grows along the water, like [SIM] willow/poplar [trees] grow well along a riverbank.
5 Mago'mo'a huno, Ra Anumzamofo suza mani'noe nehanigeno, mago'mo'a huno nagra Jekopu suza mani'noe nehanigeno, mago'mo'a huno Ra Anumzamofo suza nagra mani'noe huno azantera krenentenigeno, mago'a vahe'mo'za hu'za tagra Israeli vahe mani'none hu'za zamagia erisga hugahaze.
Some of them will say, ‘I belong to Yahweh,’ and others will say, ‘We are descendants of Jacob,’ and others will write on their hands, ‘We belong to Yahweh,’ and others will say, ‘We are Israelis.’”
6 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra Israeli vahe'mota kini mani'nena tamagu'ma vazi'noa Anumzankina Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumza mani'noe. Ana hu'neankina Nagra'a ese agafa hu mani'nena, Nagra'a vagare'enena mani'noe. Magore huno Nagrikna Anumzana omani'ne.
Yahweh, the King of Israel, the one who saves us, the Commander of the armies of angels, says this: “I am the one who begins everything and who ends everything; there is no other God.
7 Iza Nagri knara hu'nefi huama hino. Nagrikna vahe'ma mago'ma mani'nesniana hinkeno, nagri navure eno Nagrama vahe'ni'ama huhamprima zamante'noa vahetera korapara na'a fore hu'nefi eme huama nehu'za, henkama ne-ea zane henkama fore'ma hania zanena eme huama hino.
If there is anyone like me [RHQ], he should proclaim it! He should speak and tell me [now]! He should tell what has happened since I caused my people [of Israel] to become a nation long ago, and he should also tell what things will happen; he should predict what will happen in the future.
8 Nagri vahe'mota tamahirahikura nehuta korora osiho, ama ana zantamima fore'ma osu'nege'na e'inahuza fore hugahie hu'na ko'ma tamasami'noana tamagra ontahi'nazafi? Tamagra Nagrira ko keta antahita hu'nazanki, nagrikna Anumzana magora mani'neno, Nagrama huaza huno hankave havegnara huno mani'nage'na nagra ontahi'nofi?
[My people], do not be afraid. Long ago I told you things that would happen [RHQ]; I predicted them, and you can testify that I did that. There certainly is not [RHQ] any other God. There is no other God who is able to protect you [MET]; I know that there is no other God!”
9 Hanki havi anumzamofo amema'a zafare'ma antre'za tro'ma nehaza vahera amne'za mani'naze. Ana nehu'za ana zanku'ma mareri fenoza ante'none nehaza zantamina amneza me'ne. Ana havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahera, zamavu suhuno neginagi vahe mani'nazanki'za, tusi zamagazegu hugahaze.
All those who make idols are foolish, and the idols that they (think highly of/greatly respect) are worthless. And the people who worship those idols— [it is as though] they are blind, and they will be ashamed [for having worshiped those idols].
10 Zafareti'ma antreno havi anumzama tro'ma huge, golireti'ma kreno havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro'ma nehia vahera, ana anumzamo'a mago zana aza osugahie.
Only [foolish people] [RHQ] would make idols in a mold, idols that would never help them at all.
11 Hagi antahiho, havi anumzantamima troma nehia vahe'ene azama hu'za ana anumzama tro'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zanena zamagazegu hugahaze. Na'ankure ana havi anumzamofo ame'ma'a vahe'mo'za zamazanteti tro hu'naze. E'ina hu'negu zamatrenke'za eme eri atru hute'za amare eho. Tamagerfa hu'na nagra zamazeri koro hanuge'za, zamagazegu hugahaze.
Those who make idols and those who worship them will be ashamed. Those who make idols are only human beings, [but they claim that they are making gods]! They should stand in front of God in a court, and [when they hear what he says], they will be terrified, and they will all be disgraced.
12 Ainireti'ma eri'zama eri antahi'zama eri'nea vahe'mo'a hama eri'neno hankave'a atreno ainia runtra aheno ana havi anumzamofo amema'a tro nehie. Hagi ana eri'zama e'neriana aganegeteno hankave'a omne amne nehigeno, tinkura ave'nesigeno ana zana tro nehie.
Metalworkers stand in front of hot coals in order to make idols. They pound them strongly with hammers, and shape them. Because they work very hard, they become hungry and weak; they become very thirsty and feel exhausted.
13 Hagi magora zafareti'ma antreno keonke zama tro'ma nehia vahe'mo'a, nofi avazu hu'neno, anante avona eri vakakino krenteno evuteno, ananka avaririno siselireti hanagatino vahe amema'a avaseseane tro huteno erino nompi ome nente.
Then a woodcarver takes a big block/piece of wood and he measures it; then he marks it to show where he will cut it. He uses a chisel and other tools to carve it to resemble a human. He causes it to become a very beautiful [idol], and then he puts it in a shrine.
14 Ana zantamima tro hunakura sida zafama, saipresi zafama oki zafareti'ene erino tro nehie. Ana nehuno menizafa, zafa tanopafi krinegeno ana zafafina kora runentegeno hageno mareneria zafa antagino ana zana tro nehie.
[Before he carves an idol from that block of wood], he has cut down a cedar tree, or he has selected a cypress tree or an oak tree and allowed it to grow tall in the forest. Or, he has planted a pine/evergreen tree and the rain has watered it [and caused it to grow tall].
15 Mago'a ana zafaramina, kave'ma kreno nesnia teve nehareno, mago'a tevema hugreno tohisigu nehare. Mago'a ana zafafintira erino havi anumzamofo amema'a tro hunteteno, monora hunente.
[And after he uses part of the tree to make an idol], he uses the other part of the tree to make a fire, either to warm himself or to bake bread. But he uses [part of the same tree] to make for himself an idol to worship! He makes an idol and then he bows down to worship it.
16 Ana zafa mago'a apapu huno afu ame'a kreno neneno muse nehie. Ana nehuno mago'a zafa erino tevefi kregeno neregeno teve tonehino, tevemo'a knare huno navufga temuho hie huno muse nehie.
He burns part of the wood of the tree to cook his meat and eats the meat and his stomach becomes full, and he burns part of the wood to warm his body, and he says, “I feel warm while I am watching the flames in the fire.”
17 Hianagi mago'a zafa erino havi anumzazamimofo amema'a antreno tro hunteteno ana zante monora hunenteno, amanage huno nunamuna nehie, kagra anumzani'a mani'nanku naza nehunka nagu'vazio huno nehie.
Then he takes the rest of the wood and makes an idol which is his god. He bows down to it and worships it, and prays to it and says, “You are my god, so save me!”
18 Tamagerfa hu'za havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'mo'za neginagi nehu'za, ama antahi'zana e'norize. Anazamo zamavua anteso hige'za nonke'za, antahintahi zamimo'a ankanire'neanki'za ama' antahi'zana e'norize.
Those people are very stupid and ignorant [SAR]. [It is as though] they are blind and cannot see, and their minds are closed and they cannot think well.
19 Mago'mo'e huno amanahu antahi'zana e'norie. Mago zafa eri'na teve hegre'na bretia krege afu ame'anena krena ne'noe. Ana nehu'na mago'ama mesia zafaretira kasrino haviza huno agoterfa zana trora hutena ana zafa atuparera narena re'na monora huntegahufi?
They do not think about what they are doing, that they are taking a block of wood and burning half of it to warm themselves and using some of the rest to bake bread and roast some meat! [They do not say to themselves], “It is stupid [RHQ] to take the rest of the wood to make a detestable idol! It does not make sense to bow down to a block of wood!”
20 Inankna hu'za vahe'mo'za negia nene'za tanefa'ma ase'nia zantera zamentintia nehaze? Ana vahera havi antahi'zazmimo rezamavatga hige'za havi kante nevazankiza, zamagra'a zamagura ovazigahaze. Ana nehu'za tamaga kazigama eri'naza zankura havige'za eri'none hu'za ke'za antahi'zara osugahaze.
They are very stupid to [worship something that if you burn it, it becomes] ashes! They trust in something that cannot save them; they do not admit, “In my hand I hold something that is not really a god! [RHQ]”
21 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie, Israeli vahera Jekopu nagamota ama zantaminkura tagera okaniho, nagra tamazeri fore hugeta nagri eri'za vahe mani'naze. Hagi Israeli vahe'mota Nagra nagera akani oramantegahue.
[Yahweh says, “You descendants of] [MTY] Jacob, you people of Israel who should be serving me, I created you, and I will not forget you.
22 Zaho'mo hanintiri hampo erino eviaza hu'na, tamagri kefozana eri netre'na, kna'ane anafru huramia ata ko zahomo eri huhu huno eviaza hu'na kumi tamia eri atre'noe. Ana hu'negu Nagrite rukrahe huta eho, na'ankure nagra ko tamagu'vazina tamavre'noe.
I have gotten rid of your sins like [SIM] [the wind blows away] a cloud. [It is as though] your transgressions were a morning mist [SIM] that I have blown away. Return to me because I have rescued you.”
23 Ra Anumzamo'ma ama anazama tro'ma hu'nea zama negetma, anami monaramimoka muse zagame nehugeno, mopa agu'afima me'nea zamoka muse nehugeno, agonaramimokane zafa tanopafima me'nana zafaramimotanena ranke huta muse zagamera hiho. Na'ankure Jekopu naga'ma aguvazino ete avre'nea Ra Anumzamo Israeli vahetera agra hankave'a erinte ama' nehie.
[The sun and moon and stars] in the sky should sing, and all the things that are beneath the ground should shout joyfully! All the mountains and forests, and all you trees, should sing loudly, because Yahweh has rescued [the descendants of] [MTY] Jacob; [the people of] Israel will praise/honor him.
24 Israeli vahe'mota ha' vahetmimofo zamazampinti'ma tamagu'mavazino neramavreno, antatamimofo zamarimpafima tamazeri fore'ma hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagrake Ra Anumzana mani'nena maka zana tro nehu'na, anami monaramimpine ama mopafima me'nea zantamina nagrake tro hu'na erimporogeno me'ne.
Yahweh, who saved you and created you, says this: “I am Yahweh, the one who created everything. I am the only one who stretched out the sky. There was [RHQ] no one who (was with/helped) me when I created the earth.
25 Havi kasnampa kema nehaza vahera ana kasnampa kea eri atrogeno nena'a forera nosigeno, henkama fore hania zanku'ma zamema eri nentaza vahera antahintahi zamia zamazeri neginagi nehue. Ana nehu'na antahi'zane vahe'mokizmi antahi'zana eri atroge'za, neginagi vahe nemanize.
I show that the false prophets are liars, and I show that those who perform rituals to predict the future are fools. Some people who [falsely think that they] are [IRO] wise [say that they] know a lot, but I show that they are foolish.
26 Nagri kasnampa vahe'ene, nagri kema erino vu vahe'mo'zama henkama fore hania zanku'ma huama'ma hu'naza zantamina, Nagra ana zantamina erifore nehua Anumza mani'noe. E'ina hu'negu menina amanage nehue, Jerusalemi rankumapina mani avinete'za, Juda mopafima me'nea kumatmina negi'za havizama hu'nea kumatamina nagra hanuge'za ete erioti vagare'za kigahaze.
But I always cause to happen what my prophets predict [DOU]. [I tell them to] say to [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem, ‘[Some day] people will live here again.’ [And I tell them to] say to [the people in other] towns in Judah [that Yahweh says], ‘Your towns will be rebuilt; I will cause the places that are only ruins to be rebuilt.’
27 Nagra hugeno hagerimo'a hagege hu'nea Anumzankina, nagra hanugeno tirantamimo'za tanegahaze.
When I say to the rivers, ‘Dry up!’, they will become dry.
28 Nagra Sairusina huhamparugeno nagri sipisipi kva vahe mani'neankino, Nagri'ma nave'nesia zana ana maka agra eri fore hugahie. Ana hu'neankino agra hanige'za Jerusalemi ran kumara ete eri kasefa hu'za negi'za, Nagri mono noma azeri oti'za ki tra'a agafa hu'za kigahaze.
When I say about King Cyrus, ‘He will [take care of my people like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep], he will do what I want him to do,’ he will say about Jerusalem, ‘We must rebuild it!’, and he will also say, ‘We must rebuild the temple!’”
