Maika 7

1 Nagra tusi nasunku hue. Mago vahe'mo agategeno zafa raga ragino nenaku viana, magore hu'za otare'za maka tagi hana hu'nazageno, anampintira grepio fiki ragama tagino oneno agaku'ma nehiaza hu'noe.

I am very miserable/frustrated! I am like [SIM] someone who is hungry, [who searches for fruit to pick] after all the fruit had been picked and who finds no grapes or figs to eat.

2 Anumzamofoma zamagu'areti'ma hu'za amage'ma nentaza vahera ama mopafina omanizageno, fatgo zamavu'zmavama nehaza vahera omanitfa hu'naze. Hagi maka vahe'mo'za havigege nehu'za vahe'ma zamahe'za korama eri tagi zankuke nehu'za, zamafu zamagnana zamahe nefri'za vaheke mani'naze.

[All] the godly people have disappeared from this land; there is not one of them left. [The people who are left] are all murderers [MTY]; [it is as though] everyone is eager to kill his fellow countryman.

3 Ana vahe'mokizmi zamazamo'a kefo avu'ava zama hu' zanteke knarera hu'ne. Gamani eri'za vahemo'zane keagama refko'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za masavema hu'za zagoma zamizage'za eri'zana e'nerize. Ana nehazage'za zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'za, zamagri'ma zamave'nesia zankuke nenekea nehu'za fatgoma huno refkohu avu'ava zana eri rukrahekrahu nehaze.

They [all] use both hands to do what is evil. [Government] officials and judges [all] ask for bribes. Important people tell others what they want, and they plot/scheme together [about how to get it done].

4 Knare vahe'mo'za ave've trazankna nehazage'za, fatgo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za ave've trazana agatere'za ha' zankna hu'naze. Hianagi tamagri'ma keagama huramantesania knamo'a hago eankino, tamagrira tamazeri haviza nehanigeta neginagi hugahaze.

[Even] the best people are [as worthless] [SIM] as briers; the people [who are considered by others to be] [IRO] the most honest are worse than clumps of thornbushes. But, [Yahweh] will soon judge them; now is the time that he will punish people, a time when they will be [very] confused [because of being defeated].

5 E'ina hu'negu tavaonka'are'ma nemanisia vahe'ene, roneka'ane, akamofonena knare hu'naze hunka antahi nezaminka oku nanekenena huamara hunka ozamasamio.

[So], do not trust anyone! Do not trust [even] a friend; [even] be careful what you say to your wife whom you love!

6 Hagi ananknafina ve mofavremo'a otino nefa arimpa eri haviza nehanigeno, mofa'mo'a otino nererana ha' renente sanigeno, zahufa amo'a otino a' nenoferona ha' rentegahie. Ana hugahiankino kagri'ma ha'ma regantesania vahera fatgo huno kagri nagapi mani'ne.

Boys will despise their fathers, and girls will defy their mothers. Women will defy their mothers-in-law. Your enemies will be those who live in your own houses.

7 Hianagi nagri'ma nazama hanigu Ra Anumzamofonteke navua nentoe. Anumzamo'ma nagri'ma nagu'vazisinigu hu'na Agrikuke avega antete'na manigahue. Ana hu'neankino nagri Anumzamo'a antahinamigahie.

As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].

8 Nagri ha' vahe'motama knafima mani'nenugeta nenageta musena osiho. Na'ankure nagra tanafa hu'na masegahuanagi ete otigahue. Nagra hanizampina manigahuanagi, Ra Anumzamo nagri tavira mani'neno remsa hunantegahie.

You who are our enemies, do not gloat/rejoice about [what has happened to] us, [because even] if we have experienced disasters, [those disasters will end and] we will be restored. [Even] if [it is as though] we are sitting in the darkness, Yahweh will be our light.

9 Nagra Ra Anumzamofo avurera kumi hu'noankino, knazama namino nazeri fatgoma nehanige'na, navufga anterami'na manigahue. Hianagi osi'a knafi arimpa ahenanteteno, ete nagri kaziga anteno nagri ha' vahera knama nami'za nazeri havizama hu'naza zantera nona huzmantegahie. Ana huteno Ra Anumzamo'a navareno tavite vanige'na, fatgo avu'ava zama'a keama hugahue.

We must be patient while Yahweh punishes us because we have sinned against him. But later, [it will be as though] he will go to court and defend us, and he will make sure that the judge makes a right decision about us. [It will be as though] he will bring us out into the light, and we will see it when he rescues us.

10 Ana'ma hanige'za nagri ha' vahe'mo'zama nege'za Ra Anumzamo'a agri kaziga mani'ne hu'za nehu'za, Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo'a iga mani'ne hu'zama hu'naza nanekegura zamagazegu hugahaze. Nagri ha' vahe'mo'zama havizama hanaza zana, nagra navufinti zamagegahue. Ana hugahazankino kampi hapa me'nege'za vahe'mo'za rehapa kopa hu'za vano hazaza hu'za haviza hugahaze.

Our enemies will [also] see that, and they will be disgraced because they [ridiculed us], saying “Why is [RHQ] Yahweh, that God of yours, [not helping you]?” But with our own eyes we will see them when they are defeated; we will see them trampled like [SIM] mud in the streets.

11 Ana huga hiankino ana knama esanigeta, Israeli vahe'mota ranra kuma tamimofo kegina ete eri kasefa huta nehuta, mopa tamimofo isa kana erinte ra huta vuta eta hugahaze.

[You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.

12 Ana knafima tamagritegama vahe'ma esazana, Asiria mopareti agafa huteno vuno, Isipi mopare uhanatiteno, Isipi moparetira vuvava huno Yufretisi ran tima me'nea moparega vanigeno, mago hagerinteti vuno mago hagerinkenare vanigeno, mago agonaregati vuno mago agonaregama nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena tamagritega egahaze.

[People from many countries will come to honor you]: people from Assyria and from [near] the [Euphrates] River [in the east] and from Egypt [in the south], from distant seas, and from many mountains.

13 Hianagi ana vahe'mokizmi mopafina vahera omanitfa hanigeno, ka'ma koka fore hugahie. Na'ankure ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'zama hu'naza kefo avu'ava zanku anara hugahie.

But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.

14 Ra Anumzamoka Nagri vahere hunka huhampari zamante'nana vaheka'arera, sipisipi kva vahe kna hunka zafa tanopafima menima mani'naza vaheka'a kegava huzamanto. Hagi kagra zamatrege'za ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za, Basani mopane Gileati mopama afovage'ma hu'nea mopafi hoza ante'za nene'za maniho.

Yahweh, protect your people like [MET] [a shepherd protects his sheep] by using his walking stick; lead your people [MET] whom you have chosen to belong to you. [Even though some of them] live by themselves in a forest, give them the fertile pastureland in the Bashan and Gilead [regions] that they possessed long ago.

15 Ana nanekerera Ra Anumzamo'a tamage huno nehuno, korapa'ma Isipi mopafima kinama hu'neta kazokazo eri'zama enerita mani'nazage'na, Nagra hankavenentake kaguva zantami eri fore nehu'na, tamavre'na atirami'noa kna hu'na, tamagritera hanave kaguvaza eri fore hugahue.

[Yahweh says/replies], “[Yes], I will perform miracles for you like the miracles that I performed when I rescued your [ancestors] from [being slaves in] Egypt.”

16 Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagrite'ma eri fore'ma hania avu'ava zama, ama mopafi vahe'mo'zama negesageno'a hankave zamimo'a amne zankna nehanige'za, zamagazegu nehu'za antahintahi hakare hugahaze. Ana nehu'za keaga osu zamagitera rehamunenki'za, negi vahe maniaza hugahaze.

[People from many] nations will see [what Yahweh does for you], and they will be ashamed because they do not have any power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears [because they will be very amazed because of what Yahweh does], [and they will not be able to say anything or hear anything].

17 Ana nehu'za osifa'vemo hiaza hu'za zamasaguregati regraro ahe'za vano nehu'za, kugusopa nene'za fra'ma ki'za nemaniza kumapinti'ma atirami'za Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo avure'ma eme otisanu'za, tusi koro nehu'za zamahirahiku hugahaze.

[Being very humiliated, ] they will crawl on the ground [MTY] like [SIM] snakes. They will come out of their homes trembling, and stand revering Yahweh our God. They will be very afraid of him, and will tremble in front of him.

18 Anumzamoka magora kagrikna anumzana omani'ne, Ana hu'neankino kagri vahepinti'ma osi'a naga'ma ozamahe zamatrage zama mani'naza nagamokizmi kumi'ma atre zamantega anumzana omani'ne. Anumzamoka kagrira krimpa neheanagi ana zamo'a za'zatera mevava hunora novie. Na'ankure Kagra muse hunerantenka mevava kavesi zanteti kavesi'nerantane.

[Yahweh], there is no [RHQ] God like you; you forgive the sins [DOU] that were committed by the people who have survived, the people who belong to you. You do not remain angry forever; you are very happy [to show us] that you faithfully love [us].

19 Kagra mago'ene kasunkura hunerantenka, tagri kumira erinka kagianu rehapatitenka, erinka hagerimofona amefenkame ro'are mate vutregahane.

You will again act kindly/compassionately toward us. You will get rid of [the scroll on which you have written] the sins that we have committed [as though you were] trampling it under your feet or throwing it into the deep ocean.

20 Kagra korapa tagehe'i Abrahamune Jekopu kiznima huvempama huznante'nana kante amage antenka, vagaoreno mevava kavesi zana taveri hugahane.

You will show that you faithfully [do what you promised for us] and faithfully love us, just like you solemnly promised long ago to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob that you would do.
