1“Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment.
1 Ya araŋ teeku me gaa laabey, wa dangay ay jine. Ndunnya dumey mo ma ngey gaabey tajandi. I ma maan ay gaa, i ma salaŋ. Iri ma maan care gaa sanni dumbuyaŋ se.
2Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his foot in righteousness? He hands over nations to him, and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
2 May no ga boro fo tunandi a ma fun wayna funay haray, A m'a ce adilitaray ra mo a ma kaa nga cey cire. Rabbi ga ndunnya dumey nooyandi a se gomni, A ga naŋ a ma koyey may, A g'i ciya sanda kusa cine da nga takuba, A m'i gaaray mo sanda du cine da nga birawo.
3He pursues them, and passes by safely, Even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
3 A g'i gana ka gaaray, A ga bisa baani mo ka koy hala fondo fo ra kaŋ a mana gana baa ce fo da nga ce.
4Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.”
4 May no k'a waadu k'a te mo? May no ga zamaney ce za sintina? To, ay no, Rabbi, kaŋ ga ti Sintina da Bananta mo, ay ga ti NGA.
5The islands have seen, and fear. The ends of the earth tremble. They approach, and come.
5 Teeku me gaa laabey ga di, i ga humburu mo. Ndunnya meyey ga jijiri, i ga maan, i ga to kwaara.
6Everyone helps his neighbor. They say to their brothers, “Be strong!”
6 I afo kulu ga nga gorokasin gaa. Afo kulu ga ne nga nya-ize se: «Ma te gaabi!»
7So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smoothes with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good”; and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.
7 Sace binde ga zam bine gaabandi a ma haw daŋ. Boro kaŋ goono ga tooro sasabandi nda ndarka mo ga zam bine gaabandi, A goono ga sinadar goy te ka ne: «A ga boori!» A g'a kanji mo da kuusayzeyaŋ, a ma si zinji se.
8“But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend,
8 Amma nin, ya Israyla ay tamo, Yakuba kaŋ ay suuban, Ni ya ay cora Ibrahim banda no.
9You whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, ‘You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you away;’
9 Nin kaŋ ay di ka gaabandi za ndunnya me gaa, Za lokota ra no, ay na ni ce ka ne ni se: «Ni ya ay tam no, Ay na ni suuban, ay mana ni furu bo.
10Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
10 Ni ma si humburu, zama ay go ni banda. Ni bina ma si pati mo, zama ay no ga ti ni Irikoyo. Ay ga ni gaabandi, ay ga ni gaa, Oho, ay ga ni gaay d'ay kambe ŋwaaro, Kaŋ ga ti ay adilitara wano.
11Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.
11 A go, borey kaŋ yaŋ ga dukur da nin kulu ga haaw, i ga di kayna mo. Borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga kusuuma nda ni mo ga ciya yaamo ka halaci.
12You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a non-existent thing.
12 Ni g'i ceeci, ni si di ey. Ngey kaŋ ga kusuuma nda nin. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ni wongu mo ga ciya yaamo danga i mana bara.
13For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’
13 Zama ay no, Rabbi ni Irikoyo, Ay ga ni kambe ŋwaaro gaabandi. Ay ma ne ni se: Ma si humburu, ay ga ni gaa.
14Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh, “and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
14 Ma si humburu, nin, noon'izo Yakuba. Nin, ya Israyla, ay ga ni gaa,» Yaadin no ni Fansakwa* Rabbi ci, Israyla wane Hananyankoyo nooya.
15Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.
15 A go mo, ay ga ni ciya safayaŋ hari taji kaano kaŋ gonda hinjeyaŋ. Ni ga tondi kuukey soote-soote k'i bagu-bagu i ma ciya ikayna yaŋ, Ni ga tudey mo ciya sanda du cine.
16You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yahweh. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
16 Ni g'i faaru, haw mo g'i sambu, Alma haw g'i say-say. Amma nin wo, ni ga farhã Rabbi do, Ma du darza Israyla wane Hananyankoyo ra.
17The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
17 Alfukaarey da gazantey goono ga hari ceeci, Amma a si no. I deeney mo koogu jaw sabbay se. Ay, Rabbi, ay ga tu i se. Ay, Israyla Irikoyo, ay s'i furu bo.
18I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
18 Ay ga isayaŋ feeri tondi daarey boŋ, Ya hari-moyaŋ feeri gooro batamey bindi ra. Ay ga saajo ciya hari bangu, Laabu koga mo ma ciya hari-mo.
19I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set fir trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
19 Ay ga sedre* tilam saajo ra, da jitti nya, Da mirtal* nya, da zeytun* nya. Saaji fimbo ra mo ay ma sipres* nya sinji, Nga nda durmi da farre nya care banda.
20that they may see, know, consider, and understand together, that the hand of Yahweh has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
20 Zama borey ma di, i ma bay, i ma lasaabu, I ma faham mo, i kulu care banda kaŋ Rabbi kamba no ka woodin te, Israyla wane Hananyankoyo no k'a taka.
21Produce your cause,” says Yahweh. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob.
21 Yaa no Rabbi ci:«Ya toorey, w'araŋ sanno maanandi, Wa kande araŋ sabaabey kaŋ yaŋ ga beeri.» Yaadin no Yakuba wane Koyo ne.
22“Let them announce, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.
22 «Wa maan ka ci iri se haŋ kaŋ ga ba ka te. Araŋ ma waato muraadey mo ci, Mate kaŋ cine i bara nd'a, zama iri ma laakal ye i gaa, Iri m'i kokora mo bay. Wala mo i ma cabe iri se muraadey kaŋ yaŋ ga ba ka te.
23Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.
23 Wa bangandi iri se muraadey kaŋ ga haw ka kaa, Zama iri ma bay kaŋ araŋ ya irikoyyaŋ no! Oho, kala araŋ ma ihanno wala ilaalo te, Hala iri ma gomdo ka di a care banda!
24Behold, you are of nothing, and your work is of nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.
24 Guna me, araŋ wo manti hay kulu no. Araŋ goyo mo yaamo no. Boro kaŋ na araŋ suuban mo fanta hari no.»
25“I have raised up one from the north, and he has come; from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name; and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.
25 Azawa kambe haray ay na boro fo tunandi, a ga kaa mo ka fun wayna funay haray. A g'ay maa ce mo. A ga kaŋ mayraykoyey boŋ sanda botogo diibante boŋ, Sanda mate kaŋ cine kusu cinako ga botogo diibi.
26Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? And before, that we may say, ‘He is right?’ Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.
26 May no ka woodin bangandi za sintina, Zama iri ma du ka bay? May no k'a ci za doŋ mo hal iri ma ne: «A gonda cimi»? Haciika bangandiko si no, haciika cabeko si no, Haciika araŋ sanney maako fo mo si no.
27I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’ and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.
27 Za doŋ ay no ka ne Sihiyona se: «Ngey neeya! Ngey neeya!» Ay ga Urusalima no Baaru Hanno kandeko.
28When I look, there is no man; even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask of them, can answer a word.
28 Amma waati kaŋ ay guna, ay di kaŋ boro kulu si no, Hala mo i ra saawareko fo si no kaŋ gonda hina kaŋ ga tu da sann'ize folloŋ waati kaŋ ay n'i hã.
29Behold, all of them, their works are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.
29 A go, i kulu boro yaamo yaŋ no, i goyey sinda nafa. I sooguyaŋ toorey ya haw kaŋ ga faaru da yaamo no.
