1 Esiku ndyoka Omuwa ota ka leka egongamwele lya tsa nekukutu, a tse nalyo Leviatan, eyoka ndyoka li na ontuku, Leviatan, eyoka ndyoka hali nifauka nokungolyauka, evovo lyomefuta, note li dhipaga po.
Oshitsambe shOmuwa
2 Esiku ndyoka Omuwa ota popi oshitsambe she e shi hokwa a ti: 3 “Otandi shi langele e tandi shi tekele omeya ethimbo alihe. Uusiku tandi shi tonatele nomutenya tandi shi keelele, pwaa kale ngoka te shi yono po. 4 Oshitsambe itandi shi geele we. Ngele osha mena owala omano noondjoho, otandi dhi vudha mo noku dhi fika po. 5 Ihe aatondi yaantu yandje ngele oya hala egameno lyandje, naa hangane nangame. Eeno, naa hangane nangame.”
6 Momasiku tage ya oluvalo lwaJakob otalu ka tsama ngaashi omuti, Israel ota ka temuna oongala nokututuma. Evi otali ka udha iiyimati mbyoka taa imitha.
7 Israel ina geelwa kOmuwa noonkondo noina kanitha aantu oyendji ngashika aatondi ye. 8 Omuwa okwa geele aantu ye, sho e ya tumu muupongekwa. Okwe ya kuthitha mo ombepo ondhigu yokuuzilo. 9 Uulunde waIsrael otau ka dhimwa po ashike, ngele omamanya giiyambelo yoshipagani taga ka tatulwa ga ninge ga fa omamanya gokaalaka ga nyanyulwa, noitapa thigala nando oshiyambelo shiitsinino nenge iiyelekela yoshikalungakiintu Asheera.
10 Oshilandohote osha ningi omakulukuma gowala. Osha mbugalekwa sha fa eputu lyowala. Osha ningi uunapelo wiimuna, moka tayi gondjo e tayi gugula mo. 11 Iitayi yomiti nge ya kukuta, otayi teka ko, naakiintu otaye yi tyaya po, yi ninge iikuni. Molwaashoka aantu kaa uvite ko, Kalunga Omushiti gwawo ite ya sile ohenda nenge e ya uvitile ando olukeno.
12 Mesiku ndyoka, okuza kuEufrat sigo okongamba yaEgipiti, Omuwa ota ka gongela aantu ye oogumwe noogumwe a fa omuntu ta yele iilya te yi yoolola metutu.
13 Uuna esiku ndyoka nali ya, enkuma otali ka hikwa, li ithane Aaisraeli ayehe aapongekwa kuAssur nokuEgipiti. Otaa ke ya notaa ka longela Omuwa muJerusalem kondundu ye ondjapuki.
1 On that day, Leviathan,
the sea monster,
will squirm and try to escape,
but the Lord will kill him
with a cruel, sharp sword.
Protection and Forgiveness
The Lord said:
2 At that time you must sing
about a fruitful vineyard.
3 I, the Lord, will protect it
and always keep it watered.
I will guard it day and night
to keep it from harm.
4 I am no longer angry.
But if it produces thorns,
I will go to war against it
and burn it to the ground.
5 Yet if the vineyard depends
on me for protection,
it will become my friend
and be at peace with me.
6 Someday Israel will take root
like a vine.
It will blossom and bear fruit
that covers the earth.
7 I, the Lord, didn't punish and kill
the people of Israel
as fiercely as I punished
and killed their enemies.
8 I carefully measured out
Israel's punishment
and sent the scorching heat
to chase them far away.
9 There's only one way
that Israel's sin and guilt
can be completely forgiven:
They must crush the stones
of every pagan altar
and place of worship.
The Lord Will Bring His People Together
10 Fortress cities are left
like a desert
where no one lives.
Cattle walk through the ruins,
stripping the trees bare.
11 When broken branches
fall to the ground,
women pick them up
to feed the fire.
But these people are so stupid
that the God who created them
will show them no mercy.
12 The time is coming when the Lord will shake the land between the Euphrates River and the border of Egypt, and one by one he will bring all of his people together. 13 A loud trumpet will be heard. Then the people of Israel who were dragged away to Assyria and Egypt will return to worship the Lord on his holy mountain in Jerusalem.
