Aizaia 47
1 Babiloni kumamoka vene omase mofaknama hu'nana kumamoka eraminka kugusopafi manio. Babiloni mofamoka kini traka'a atrenka mopafi umanio, Babiloni vahe'mokizmi mofamoka ko'ma nehana zana hunka kavasasea hunka vanoa nehananke'za vahe'mo'za kagenunua osugahaze.
[Yahweh also says], “You people of Babylon, you should go and sit in the dust/dirt [to show that you are mourning], because your time to rule [MTY] [other countries] is almost ended. People will never again say that Babylonia is beautiful [like] a very attractive/beautiful young woman.
2 Ana nehunka witima refuzafuma nepaza have erinka witia refuzafu nepenka, kavugosare'ma rufite'nana tavaravea eri netrenka, kenaka'a hatenetrenka, kagia anona zafi netrenka tina takahegahane.
[You will be slaves, so] take heavy stones and grind grain [like slave women do]. Take off your [beautiful] veils and take off your robes [as you prepare to cross streams to go where you will be forced to go].
3 Vahe'moza kukenaka'a hate atresnageno kagaze kavufgamo'a amate megahie. Kagrama hu'nana zante nona hu'na narimpa ahegante'na kazeri haviza nehu'na, mago vahere hu'na otregahuankina zamahe vagaregahue.
You will be naked and [very] ashamed. I will get vengeance on you and not pity you.”
4 Tagri'ma Tagu'vazino tavre'nea Anumzamofo agi'a, Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzane huno me'ne. Ana hu'neankino Israeli vahe'mokizmi Ruotage hu'nea Anumza mani'ne.
The one who frees us [people of Judah], whom we call ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 Babiloni kumamoka kuini mofaknama hunanke'za, kegavama hunana kumamo'zama kagesgama nehaza kumamoka kagira hamunkinka hani zampi manio. Na'ankure mago'anena kagesga osugahaze.
[Yahweh says], “You people of Babylon, sit silently in the darkness, because people will never again say that your city is [like] [MET] a queen that rules many kingdoms.
6 Nagra vaheni'amokizmi narimpa ahezamante'na, Nagri vahe manisaze hu'na hu'noa vahera zamazeri haviza hanane huna kagri kazampi zamavare antogenka, kasunkura huozmante'nane. Ana nehunka tavavaneramine ozafaraminena tusi'a knaza eri zamagofetura ante'nane.
I was angry with the people whom I chose [to belong to me], and I punished them. I allowed you [people of Babylon] to conquer them. But [when you conquered them], you did not have mercy on them. You (oppressed/treated cruelly) [MET] even the old people.
7 Kagrama antahinana zaza kna kuinia mani vava hu'na vugahue hunka antahi'nane. Hianagi henkama kagrite fore'ma hania zankura kagesa antahi so'ea osu'nane.
You said, ‘We will rule [other nations] forever; [it is as though our city] will be the queen [of the world] forever!’ But you did not think about the things [that you were doing], or think about what would result.
8 E'ina hu'negu kama antahio, mago zana nagritera fore osanigena knare hu'na manigahue nehunka, muse hunka manizankuke nehunka, nagrake mani'noankino magore huno nagrikna vahera omanine hunka nehane. Nagra kento ara omanige, mofavre nagani'a ofrigahaze hunka hu'nane.
You people [of Babylon] who enjoy pleasure and sex, listen to this: You enjoy a luxurious life and you feel secure. You say, ‘We are [like gods], and there are no others like us. Our women will never become widows, and our children will never be killed [in wars].’
9 Hianagi ama tare zantre'moke ame huke kagrite eke magoke zupage kazeri fenkami atregaha'e. Negave'ene mofavre nagakamo'za magoke zupage frigahaze. Kagrama antahinka ruzahu ruzahu avua tagazane avune zanema ante'noa zamo kegava hunantegahie hunka'ma nehana zantamimo'a, kza osanigenka ra hazenkefi ufregahane.
But both of those things will happen to you suddenly: Many of your women will become widows and many of your children will die, even though you perform much sorcery and many kinds of magic [to prevent bad things from happening to you].
10 Kagrama hana kefo kavukva zampi frakinka mani'nenka, vahe'mo'a nonage hunka nehane. Kagrama hunka knare antahi'zane ama' antahintahi eri'noema hunka hanazamo, kazeri havi kampina atregenka, kagra kagu'afina hunka nagrake'za maka hankavea eri'noankino magore huno nagrikna vahera omani'ne hunka nehane.
You felt protected even though you were doing many wicked things, and you said, ‘No one will see what we [are doing]!’ [You thought that] you were very wise and knew many things, and you said, ‘We are gods, and there are no others like us,’ but you deceived yourselves.
11 Hianagi tusi'a knamo kagrite esanigenka, mago'a safezana hunka ana knazana eri amnea osugahane. Kagrama antahinka e'inahu knazana forera osugahie hunkama antahi'nesnana knazamo, kagritera ame huno efore hanigenka mago zantetira miza hunka ana kana rehizara osugahane. Hagi antahinka kenka osu'nana knazamo, ame huno kagritera egahie.
So you will experience terrible things, and you will not be able to prevent them by working magic. You will experience disasters, and you will not be able to pay anyone to prevent those things from happening. (A catastrophe/Something terrible) will happen to you suddenly, something that you will not realize [is about to happen].
12 Kagrama kasefa'ma mani'nenka'ma avuataga zane avunezanema antahi'nana zantamimo kaza hugahifi, avamera antenka negenka ha' vaheka'a azeri korora huo.
So you can continue to perform all your magic spells [IRO]! You can perform the many kinds of sorcery that you have practiced for many years! Perhaps [doing those things will enable you to] be successful; perhaps you will be able to cause your enemies to be afraid of you!
13 Vahe'mozama antahintahima kami'naza zamo higeno kavesra nehie. Hagi ke huge'za monafima me'nea zantamima refkoma hu'zama negaza vahe'mo'zane, hanafitamima nege'za kasefa ikante'ma fore'ma hania zanku'ma kasnampa kema nehaza vahera huge'za, oti'za kagrite'ma fore'ma hu'zama nehia hazenke zampintira kagura vaziho.
But [all that has resulted from your] doing all the things that the magicians have told you to do is that you have become tired! The men who look at the stars every month and predict what will happen should come forward and rescue you [from the disasters that you are about to experience].
14 Trazama tevemo tetegeno agafa'a meankna zamagra hu'naze. Ana hu'neankino ana tevemofo hanavefintira zamagra'a zamagura ovazigahaze. Hu'neankino ana tevemofo tankanuza me'nesige'za tevea tohige ana teve tavaontera manigera osugahaze.
But [they cannot do that, because] they are like [SIM] straw that is burning in a fire; they cannot save themselves from being burned up in the flames. Those men are unable to help you [MET]; they are as useless as stubble [that burns quickly and produces no heat] for you.
15 Kagrama osi'ma mani'nantegati'ma eno menima ege'za kagranema mani'neza antahintahi negami'za, henkama fore hania zanku havi kasnampa kema nehaza vahe'mo'za kagrira katre'za rure rure uvu evu hanageno kazama hania vahera omanigahie.
The people whom you have associated with and worked with since you were young [will not help you], because they will just continue doing their own foolish things, and they will not pay any attention to you [when you cry out for help].”
