1But now thus says Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
1 Amma sohõ, nin Yakuba, nin Israyla, Yaa no Rabbi ci, nga kaŋ na ni taka, Nga kaŋ na ni te, A ne: Ma si humburu, zama ay na ni fansa*. Ay na ni ce mo da ni maa, ni ya ay wane no.
2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.
2 Waati kaŋ ni ga harey daŋandi, ay go ni banda. Waati kaŋ ni ga isey daŋandi mo, i si ni gon. Waati kaŋ ni ga gana danji bindi ra, a si ni kukure, Danji beela mo si di ni gaa.
3For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
3 Zama ay no ga ti Rabbi ni Irikoyo, Israyla wane Hananyankoyo, ni Faabakwa. Ay na Misira no a ma ciya ni fansayaŋ hari, Etiyopi da Seba mo ga ti ni banandi.
4Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
4 Zama ni gonda darza ay do, Ni ya beerandiyaŋ hari no, ay ga ba nin mo. Woodin se no ay ga Adam-ize yaŋ nooyandi ni se, Jamayaŋ mo, ay g'i no ni fundo sabbay se.
5Don’t be afraid; for I am with you. I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west.
5 Ma si humburu, zama ay go ni do. Ay ga kande ni banda i ma fun wayna funay haray, Ay m'i margu ka fun d'ey wayna kaŋay haray.
6I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
6 Ya ne azawa kamba se: «Yeti!» Dandi kambe mo, ya ne a se: «Ma si gaay! Kande ay ize arey ka fun d'ey nangu mooro, Ay ize wayey mo ma kaa ka fun hala ndunnya me.»
7everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.’”
7 I afo kulu ay maa go a gaa, Ay n'a taka mo ay darza se, Ay n'a cina, oho, ay n'a te.
8Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
8 Wa danawey kaa taray, zama i ga du mo. Da lutey mo, zama i ga ye ka maa.
9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”
9 Ndunnya dumey kulu margu care banda, Jamayaŋ mo margu care do. I ra may no du ka woodin bangandi ka muraadey kaŋ yaŋ jin ka bisa din cabe iri se? I ma kande ngey seedey ka du ka ngey boŋ hanandi. Wala mo i ma maa ka ne: «Cimi no.»
10“You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh, “With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.
10 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Araŋ no ga ti ay seedey, d'ay tamo mo kaŋ ay suuban, Zama araŋ ma bay, araŋ m'ay cimandi mo. Araŋ ma faham mo kaŋ ay no ga ti NGA. Irikoy fo mana jin ka te ay se, Ay banda mo afo si bara.
11I myself am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior.
11 Ay ya day, ay no Rabbi, Ay baa da banda Faabako si no.
12I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses,” says Yahweh, “and I am God.
12 Ay no ka ci, ay no ka faaba, ay mo no ka fe. Irikoy yaw fo mo si no araŋ game ra. Woodin sabbay se binde araŋ no ga ti ay seedey. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Ay mo no ga ti Irikoy.
13Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”
13 Oho, za sintina ka kaa sohõ, ay no. Afo mo si no kaŋ ga kaa ay kambe ra. Ay no ga goy, may mo no g'a bare?
14Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.
14 Yaa no Rabbi ni Fansakwa, Israyla wane Hananyankoyo ci: «Araŋ sabbay se no ay donton Babila gaa. Ay na Kaldancey kulu zumandi i ma kaa da zuray hiyaŋ ra, Kaŋ ga ti i ndunnya kaani ŋwaayaŋ waney.
15I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
15 Ay no ga ti Rabbi, araŋ wane Hananyankoyo, Israyla Takakwa, araŋ Bonkoono.»
16Thus says Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
16 Yaa no Rabbi ci, nga kaŋ na fondo feeri teeko ra, A na fondayze mo feeri hari beerey ra.
17who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):
17 Nga kaŋ ga wongu torko nda bari kaa taray, Da wongu jama nda hin. I ga kani care banda, I si ye ka tun mo koyne. I fundey fun pat! Wongu n'i wi mo sanda mate kaŋ boro ga fitilla wi.
18“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.
18 Rabbi ne: Wa si fongu nda waato jirbey, Araŋ ma si laakal mo da haŋ kaŋ te za doŋ.
19Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs forth now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
19 A go, ay ga muraadu taji fo te kaŋ ga zorti sohõ. D'a te mo araŋ si jaŋ ka bay. Baa saaji ra ay ga fondo te, Isayaŋ mo ga te taasi beerey ra.
20The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
20 Ganji hamey g'ay beerandi, Zoŋey da taatagayey g'ay beerandi, Zama ay na hari no saajo ra. Ay na isayaŋ mo no taasi beerey ra. Zama ay ma haŋyaŋ hari no ay jama se, Ay wane suubanantey nooya.
21the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
21 Jama wo kaŋ ay te ay boŋ se, Ngey no g'ay sifaw dede.
22Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.
22 Kulu nda yaadin, ya Yakuba, ni mana ay ce. Amma nin, ya Israyla, ni farga nda ay.
23You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
23 Ni mana kande ay se feejiyaŋ, Ay sargayey kaŋ i ga ton se. Ni mana ay beerandi mo da ni sargayey. Ay wo, yana ŋwaari sargay dake ni boŋ, Yana ni fargandi mo ka ne ni ma kande dugu.
24You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.
24 Ni mana kaana day ay se da nooru, Ni man'ay kungandi mo da ni sargayey maano, Amma ni na ni zunubi jarawo dake ay boŋ, Ni n'ay fargandi mo da ni goy laaley.
25I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
25 Ay no, oho ay no ga ni taaley tuusu ay bumbo sabbay se. Ay si ye ka fongu ni zunubey gaa koyne.
26Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.
26 M'ay fongandi, iri ma kande iri sabaabey, Ma kande ni koba, hala ni ma du ka hanan.
27Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
27 Ni kaay sintina na zunubi te. Ni annabey mo na taali te ay se.
28Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”
28 Woodin sabbay se, Kal ay ma Nangu Hananta jine borey ziibandi. Ay ma Yakuba ciya laaliyaŋ hari, Israyla mo ma ciya wowi hari.
