< Isaiah 48 >

1 “Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by the LORD’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—
Isala: ili fi dunu! Yuda egaga fi dunu! Nabima! Dilia da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le sia: sa, amola dilia Isala: ili Gode Ema nodone sia: ne gadosa sia: sa. Be dilia sia: dafawaneyale hame sia: sa.
2 for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; the LORD of Hosts is his name.
Be dilia gasa fili, dilia da Hadigi moilai bai bagade amo ea esalebe dunu, amola dilia da Isala: ili Gode (Ea Dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa) amo dili fidima: ne dafawaneyale dawa: , amane sia: sa.
3 I have declared the former things from of old. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilima amane sia: sa, “Na da musa: hemonega hobea misunu hou ba: la: lu, dilima sia: i dagoi. Amalalu, hedolodafa amo hou dafawane ba: ma: ne, Na da hamoi dagoi.
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
Dilia da hame nabasu hou, amola gasa fi hou hamomu, amo Na dawa: i galu. Dilia da ouli agoane selefamu hamedei, amola balase defele ga: nasi bagade hamomu, Na da dawa: i galu.
5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’
Amaiba: le, Na da dilima hobea misunu hou amo hemonega ba: beba: le, sia: i dagoi. Dilia da dilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ da dilia hou hahamoi dagoi, amo dilia da sia: sa: besa: le, Na da amo hou da hobea misunu, hemonega sia: i dagoi.
6 You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
Be wali Na ba: la: lusu sia: i liligi huluane da hamoi dagoi ba: sa. Amola amo ba: la: lusu liligi da dafawane, dilia da wali sia: sa. Wali Na da gaheabolo hou, Na da musa: wamolegei amo hobea misunu, Na da dilima olelemu.
7 They are created now, and not from of old. Before today, you didn’t hear them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
Na da wali hamonanebeba: le, amo hou da doaga: i. Agoanewane hou da musa: hamedafa ba: i. Amo hou da musa: ba: i ganiaba, dilia da amo hou huluane dawa: dagoi, dilia da sia: na: noba.
8 Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
Be dilia hou da moloi hame, Na dawa: i galu. Dilia da eso huluane seselesu dunu agoane esala, dunu huluane da dawa: Amaiba: le, dilia da Na hobea hamomu hou hamedafa nabi.
9 For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise, I hold it back for you so that I don’t cut you off.
Dunu da Na Dio amoma nodoma: ne, Na da Na ougi dili mae wadela: lesima: ne gagusa. Na da dili hame gugunufinisimu.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
Na da se nabasu hou lalu agoane amo ganodini, silifa ea hou adoba: su agoane, dilia hou adoba: su. Be dilia da hamedei dunu, amo Na da ba: i dagoi.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
Be amo hou Na da Na Dio gaguia gadoma: ne fawane hamoi. Na Dio wadela: lesima: ne, Na da hamedafa ba: mu. Amola eno dunu da Na Hadigi gilisili lamusa: , Na da logo hamedafa doasimu. Na Hadigi da Na Nisu fawane gagusa.”
12 “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi dunu, Na da dili Nama misa: ne wele sia: nanu, ilegei dagoi. Na sia: nabima! Na da Gode amo Hemosu amola Dagosu, eno hame, Na da Godedafa.
13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.
Na da osobo bagade ea bai amola mu amo Na loboga hamoi. Na da osobo bagade amola mu Nama misa: ne sia: sea, ilia da hedolo Nama misini gousa: sa.
14 “Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? He whom the LORD loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Kasdim.
Dilia huluane gilisima amola nabima! Na ilegei dunu da Na hanai defele Ba: bilone doagala: mu. Eno ‘gode’ liligi afae da amo hou ba: la: lumu hamedei.
15 I, even I, have spoken. Yes, I have called him. I have brought him and he shall make his way prosperous.
Na fawane da ema sia: i, amola ema misa: ne sia: i. Na da e gadili masa: ne oule asi, amola e didili hamoma: ne, Na fawane da ea logo fodoi.
16 “Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord GOD has sent me with his Spirit.
Wali, Nama gadenena misa, amola Na sia: nabima. Hemonega amola fa: no Na da mae wamolegele, sia: moloidafa sia: i. Amola Na sia: sia: i da Na hamobeba: le, dafawane hamoi ba: i.” (Wali Hina bagade Gode Ouligisudafa da Ea gasa nama ianu, na asunasi dagoi.)
17 The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
Isala: ili Hadigi Gode, dilia Gaga: su, da amane sia: sa, “Na da Hina Gode, dilia Gode! Na da dilia hou noga: ma: ne dilima olelesa amola dilia noga: le masa: ne logo olelesa.
18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Dilia da na sia: noga: le nabi ganiaba, dilima hahawane hou hano da hafoga: su hame dawa: , amo defele dilima doaga: la: loba. Amola hasalasu hou hano wayabo bagade gafului da hano bega: doaga: sa, amo defele dilima doaga: la: loba.
19 Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”
Amola dilia agoane hamoi ganiaba, diligaga fi ilia idi da sa: iboso ea idi defele ba: la: loba amola ilia hamedafa gugunufinisimu Na da hamonana: noba.”
20 Leave Babylon! Flee from the Kasdim! With the sound of joyful shouting announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth; say, “The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
Dilia! Ba: bilone soge fisili, hahawane gadili masa. Amo sia: hahawane wele sia: ma. Dunu huluane nabima: ne, hahawane agoane sia: mu, “Hina Gode da Ea hawa: hamosu dunu fi Isala: ili, amo gaga: i dagoi.”
21 They didn’t thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.
Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu amo gia: i bagade hafoga: i soge amo ganodini oule ahoanoba, ilia da hano hanai hame ba: i. Ea hamobeba: le, hano da igi amoga yogosa: i. E da igi oudahida: le, hano da amo ganodini misi.
22 “There is no peace”, says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da gaga: su hame ba: mu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.
