Aizaia 49

1 Tamagra hageri amu'nompi me'nea mopafima nemaniza vahe'mota nentahinkeno, afete moparegama mani'naza vahe'motanena tamagesa anteta antahiho, anta'nimofo arimpafi mani'nogeno Ra Anumzamo'a Agri eri'za vahe mani'nuegu nagrira kea hu'neankino, kasema nenantegeno'a nagia ahente ama hu'ne.

All you people who live on islands [in the ocean] and in other distant areas, pay attention [DOU] to what I will say! Yahweh called/chose me before I was born; he chose/appointed me when I was still in my mother’s womb.

2 Hagi bainati kazinkna huno nagira eri nesaneno, Agra azanteti refitentege'na mani'noe. Kevema tro huteno kaneno eri fatgo huno ahe'arema retro huno kevegupi eririaza huno nazeri frakine.

[When I grew up], he caused my messages to be like [SIM] a sharp sword. He has protected me with his hand [SYN]. [He protects me] [MET] like someone protects sharp arrows in a quiver.

3 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, nagrira nasami'ne, Israeliga Nagri eri'za vahe mani'nanankina, nagra hankaveni'ane masazani'anena kagrite eri ama hanuge'za, maka vahe'mo'za kegahaze.

He said to me, “You will serve my Israeli [people], and you will cause people to honor me.”

4 Hianagi nagra amanage hu'na hu'noe, nagra tusi maragu'zati'na eri'zana eri'noanagi, ana eri'zamo'a amne zankna higeno, ne'zama'a forera osu'ne. Hianagi ana eri'zama eri'noana Ra Anumzamo keno antahino hu'neankino, agrake ana eri'zantera mizana namigahie.

I replied, “My work has been useless; I have used my strength, but I have accomplished nothing worthwhile; everything that I have done has been (in vain/useless). However, Yahweh can honor me as he pleases; my God is the one who will reward me [as I deserve].”

5 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagri eri'za vahe mani'nenka Jekopu naga Israeli vahera Nagrite zamavarenka esane huno'ma, nenrera arimpafima tro'ma hunente'nea Ra Anumzamo'a nagrira ra nagi nenamino, nagri Anumzamo'a hankavea nami'ne.

Yahweh formed me when I was in [my mother’s] womb in order that I would serve him; he appointed me to bring [the people of] Israel back to himself [DOU]. Yahweh has honored me, and he is the one who has caused me to be strong.

6 Ana hu'neankino Ra Anumzamo'a nagrikura amanage hu'ne, Nagri eri'za vahe mani'nenka Israeli vahe'ma Jekopu naga'ma zamazeri frakuge'za ofri mani'nazama'a zamazeri hankavetio hu'na osi eri'za kami'noe. Hianagi e'i ana eri'zankera omne'neanki, menina Nagra kazeri ante'ama hu'na ra eri'za kamisugenka, mago tavikna hunka mani'nenka, maka ama mopafi vahera zamaza hananke'na, ete zamagu'vazi'na zamavaregahue.

He says to me, “It is not enough for you to serve me by bringing the descendants of Jacob back to worship me again [DOU]; I also want you to be like [MET] a light for the non-Jews; I want you to take my [my message] about how to be saved to [people] all over the world.”

7 Vahe'mo'zama azeri haviza nehu'za kokankoka vahe'mo'zama agomatenentazageno kva vahe'mokizmi eri'zama eneria nekura Israeli vahetema Ruotge'ma hu'neno, zamagu'ma vazi'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Kini vahe'mo'za kagrira kagesga hu'za onetisageno, kva vahe'mo'za kagri kagiafi eme kepri hugahaze. Na'ankure Israeli vahete'ma ruotage'ma hu'nea Anumzana, hugahuema huno hu'neaza nehia Ra Anumzamo kagrira ko huhamprigante'ne.

Yahweh, the one who saves us, the Holy God of us Israeli [people], says to the one who was despised and rejected by the [people of many] nations, the one who is the slave of rulers, “[Some day] kings will stand up to respect you when they see you, and princes will bow down before you because [you serve] me, Yahweh, the one who faithfully [does what I promise]. I am the Holy God to whom you Israelis belong, the one who has chosen you.”

8 Ra Anumzamo eri'za vahe'agura amanage huno hu'ne, Nagrama knama huhampri'noa kna zupa nasunku hugante'na, nunamunka'a antahinegami'na kaza hu'noe. Ana hu'negu maka ama mopafi vahetera, kagra mago huhagerafi huvempa keni'a mani'nenankena, kegava hugante'nena kagriteti maka ama mopafi vahe'enena huhagerafigahue. Ana nehananke'na Israeli mopa ete eri'soe hanuge'za, erisantima hare'naza mopa'zamima menima, vahe'ma omani'naza mopa'zamia ete eri'za manigahaze.

This is also what Yahweh says: “At a time when it pleases me, I will answer your prayers. On the day when you will be rescued [from your oppressors], I will help you. I will protect you and enable you to establish an agreement with other nations. And by what you do, I will re-establish your nation of Israel and allow you to live/settle again in your land that was abandoned.

9 Hagi kinama hu'za hanimpima mani'naza vahekura, kinafintira atiramita fru huta viho hunka nehunka, karanka havege agonaramimpina ne'zamo'a ampore'nena neneta vugahaze hunka zamasamio.

I will say to those who were captured [and (exiled/taken to Babylonia)], ‘Leave [Babylonia] and return to your own country!’ And I will say to those who are in dark prisons, ‘Come out into the light!’ When that happens, they will again be like [MET] sheep that eat grass in green pastures, on hills where [previously] there was no grass.

10 Zamagakura nosu'za, tinkura nofrisnageno, zagehakura ofrigahaze. Na'ankure asunku'ma hunezmantea Anumzamo kampu'i tintamima me'nere zamavareno vutere hugahie.

They will not be hungry or thirsty [any more]; the hot sun will not beat upon them again [DOU]. I, Yahweh, will act mercifully toward them and lead them; I will lead them to where there are springs of cool water.

11 Nagra agonaramini'a aherava nehe'na mopa ante marerinugeno, rankana fore hugahie.

And I will cause the mountains to become [as though they were] level roads, and I will prepare good highways [for my people to travel on, to return to Jerusalem].

12 Anama hanuge'za Nagri vahe'mo'za afete moparegati egahaze. Mago'a vahera noti kazigati ne-esnage'za, mago'a vahera zage fre kazigati ne-esnage'za, mago'a vahera Aswani ran kumateti'ene egahaze.

My people will return from far away; some will come from the north, some from the west, some from southern Egypt.”

13 Anami monaramimota, ranke huta muse zagamera nehinkeno, ama mopamoka muse nehugeno, agona ramimokanena muse zagame huo. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a hazenkema eri'za mani'naza vahe'a asunku huzamanteno zamazeri so'e hugahie.

[Because of what Yahweh has promised to do], everything should shout joyfully— the sky and the earth and the mountains should sing, because Yahweh comforts his people, and he will pity those who are suffering.

14 Hianagi Saioni kumate vahe'mo'za hu'za, Ra Anumzamo'a agekaniranteno amefi huneramie hu'za nehaze.

[The people of] Jerusalem say, “Yahweh has abandoned us; he has forgotten about us.”

15 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a anankemofo nona'a amanage hu'ne, Mago a'mo'ma mofavrema anteno avre'neno amima nemisnia mofavrea agerakanintegahifi? Agrama kasente'nesia mofavregura asunkura hunteno aza osugahio? Hianagi Nagra maka zupa namefira huozamigahue.

But [Yahweh replies], “That is not true! (Can a woman forget the infant that she is nursing?/A woman certainly cannot forget the infant that she is nursing!) [RHQ] (Can she stop being kind to the child to whom she has given birth?/She certainly cannot stop being kind to the child to whom she has given birth!) [RHQ] But even if a woman would do that, I will not forget you!

16 Hagi kamema'ane kaginena naza agusare eri vakaki'na krentogeno me'nege'na, maka zupa nege'na antahinegamue.

Note that I have written your [names] on the palms of my hands; in my mind I can always see the walls of your city.

17 Mofavre nagakamo'za ete ne-esnage'za, kagri'ma eme kazeri havizama hu'naza vahe'mo'za katre'za koro fregahaze.

Soon your children will be returning there (OR, Those who rebuild your city will work more quickly than those who destroyed it), and all those who destroyed your city will leave.

18 Kavua keganti kegama hunka kesnanana, maka mofavre nagaka'amo'za eri atru hute'za kagritega ne-esnagenka zamagegahane. Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huama nehuankinka, mago a'mo ve nontega vuku avasase hiaza hunka, zamavare kagrarega nezmantenka tusi muse hugahane.

You will look around and see all of your children coming back to you. As surely as I live, they will be around you [for you to show to people] like [SIM] a bride shows her wedding ornaments!

19 Tamagerfa huno mopa tamimo'a havizantfa higeno, Jerusalemi kumapina vahera omanitfa hu'ne. Hianagi etema esnaza mofavre nagakamo'za Jerusalemi kumara eme mani titipa hanageno kankamuna omanena, kagri'ma ha' eme hugante'za kazeri havizama hu'naza vahe'mo'za tvaonka'arera ome'za afete manigahaze.

Your land has been ruined and caused to become desolate/abandoned [DOU], but [some day] it will be filled with people, and those who conquered you will be far away.

20 Afete kotegama kina nompima umanine'za kasezmante'naza mofavre nagakamo'za esu'za amanage hu'za eme kasamigahaze, ama kumamo'a osi hianki, kenka mago'a kankamunku eri fore hugeta anampi manisnune hu'za hugahaze.

The children who were born while you were (exiled/in Babylonia) [MET] will return [to Jerusalem] and say, ‘This city is too small for us; We need more space to live in!’

21 Anagema hanagenka kagu'afina amanage hunka antahigahane, nagra naravo mani'na mofavrea kase ozmante'noanki, ama mofavre nagara iza nami'ne? Ha' vahe'mo'za eme kina hunante'za navre'za vazage'na nagrake umani'noanki, igati ama mofavre nagara e'naze? hunka hugahane.

Then you will think to yourselves [MTY], ‘It is amazing that we have [RHQ] all these children! Most of our children were dead, and the rest were exiled. We were left here alone; so we do not know [RHQ] where all these children have come from! Who raised them?'”

22 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago avame'za nazampina erisga hu'nesnuge'za, ru mopafi vahe'mo'za nege'za, ne' mofavretamia zamazampi nevre'za, mofa'netamia zamazo'nare zamavarente'za eme kamigahaze.

This is what Yahweh our God says: “Watch! [It is as though] I will lift up my hand to signal to those who are not Israelis. And they will carry your little sons and daughters on their shoulders and bring them back to you.

23 Kini vahe'mo'zane kuini a'nemo'za tamagri eri'za vahe mani'neza maka zantamintera kegava hugahaze. Kagiafi eme zamarena nere'za kepri hu'za husga hunegante'za kagiareti kugupa hami'za negahaze. Anama hanagenka nagri'ma kenka antahinkama hananana, Nagrake Ra Anumzana mani'noankino, iza'o nagrite'ma amentinti nehuno amuha'ma hania vahe'mo'a agazegura osugahie.

Kings will serve you and will tutor/teach your children, and their queens will take care of your young children. They will prostrate themselves in front of you and [humble themselves by] licking the dust off your feet. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]; and those who trust in me will never be disappointed.”

24 Hanki hankavenentake ha' vahe'mo'zama rohu'ma eme zamare'za eri'za vanaza fenozana, iza ome zamaheno hanarege, vahe'ma kina ome huzmantenaku zamavare'za vanaza vahera, iza ome zamagura vazino zamavaregahie?

There is no one [RHQ] who can snatch valuable things from a soldier who has captured those things [in a war]; there is no one [RHQ] who can force a (tyrant/cruel man) to free the people whom he has captured.

25 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi kumakura amanage hie, Ha' vahekamo'zama hankavenentake sondia vahekama nezmavre'za feno zantaminema rohu'ma re'za eri'za vu'naza zantamina ete erigahue. Ana nehu'na tamagri'ma ha'ma eme huramantesia vahera hahunezmante'na, mofavre nagaka'a zamagu'vazi'na ete zamavaregahue.

But Yahweh says this: “[Some day], those who have been captured will be freed, and the valuable things that (tyrants/cruel men) have snatched from others will be returned, because I will fight against those who fight against you, and I will rescue your children.

26 Ana nehu'na kagri ha' vahetamina hanuge'za zamagra'a zamavufaga nene'za, waini tima neneno neginagi hiaza hu'za, zamagra'a korana nene'za neginagi hugahaze. E'inama hania zana maka ama mopafi vahe'mo'zama nege'za, Nagrikura hu'za Jekopu nagamofona hankavenentake Anumzana Agrake Ra Anumzana mani'neankino naga'a zamagu'vazino ete nezamavarea Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

And I will cause your enemies to destroy themselves [MET] instead of murdering others. When that happens, everyone [in the world] will know that I, Yahweh, am the one who saves you, the one who rescues you from your enemies; everyone will know that I am the mighty God to whom [you descendants of] [MTY] Jacob belong.”
