< Yelemaia 1 >

1 Amo meloa dedei da Yelemaia (Hiligaia egefe) ea sia: dedei. Yelemaia da gobele salasu dunu. E da gobele salasu dunu ilia gilisisu A: nadode moilai (Bediamini soge ganodini gala) amo ganodini hawa: hamonanu.
These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests living in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.
2 Yousaia (A: mone egefe) da Yuda soge ouligisu. Ea ouligisu ode 13 amoga, Hina Gode da Yelemaiama sia: i.
The Lord's message came to Jeremiah beginning in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah,
3 Amola Yousaia egefe Yihoiagimi da Yuda soge ouligilaloba, Hina Gode da Yelemaiama bu sia: i. Amalalu, Hina Gode da eso bagohame ganodini Yelemaiama sia: nanu, asili, Sedegaia (Yousaia egefe eno) da Yuda ouligisu hou ode11hamoi dagoi ba: i. Amo odega, oubi biyale agoane, Yelusaleme fi dunu da mugululi asi dagoi ba: i.
and on through the time of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.
4 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
The Lord came and told me,
5 “Na da dia esalusu dima i dagoi. Be amo hidadea, Na da di ilegei. Di da hame lalelegei galobawane, Na da di fifi asi gala ilima balofede hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi.”
“I knew exactly who you would be before I created you in your mother's womb; I chose you before you were born to be a prophet to the nations.”
6 Na da bu adole i, “Ouligisudafa Hina! Na da sia: mu gogolei! Na da goi fawane!”
“Oh no, Lord God!” I replied. “I really don't know how to speak in public because I'm still too young!”
7 Be Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Di da goi fawane mae sia: ma! Be Na da dia dunu fi ilima asunasisia, ilima Na sia: dima sia: i amo huluane ilima olelema!
“Don't say you're too young,” the Lord told me. “Go to everyone I send you to. Tell them everything I order you to say.
8 Iliba: le mae beda: ma! Bai Na da di gaga: ma: ne ani masunu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
Don't be afraid of them because I'll go with you and I'll look after you. This is the Lord's promise.”
9 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Ea lobo ilua: le gadole, na lafi digili ba: le, amane sia: i, “Nabima! Na da dima dia alofele sia: ma: ne, amo sia: dima iabe goea!
The Lord stretched out his hand, touched my mouth, and told me: “Look, I've put my words in your mouth.
10 Wali eso Na da dima fifi asi gala amola ilia hina bagade dunu ilima hina bagade hou hamoma: ne iaha. Dia da ili fadegale fasimu amola mugulumu dawa: mu. Dia da ili wadela: lesimu dawa: mu. Amola ili bu bugimu amola hiougimu, amo amola dia da dawa: mu.”
Today I've placed you over nations and kingdoms to pull up and tear down, to destroy and demolish, to build and plant.”
11 Hina Gode da nama amane adole ba: i, “Yelemaia! Dia da adi ba: sala: ?” Na da bu adole i, “Na da ‘amonede’ ifa ea amoda amo ba: la.”
The Lord's message came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what can you see?” “I see a twig from an almond tree,” I answered.
12 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Di da moloiwane ba: i dagoi. Amola Na sia: i liligi da dafawane doaga: ma: ne, Na da ba: lala.”
“That's right, because I am watching to make sure what I say happens,” the Lord said.
13 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama bu sia: i, “Adi eno liligi dia da ba: sala: ?” Na da bu adole i, “Na da gagoe (north) amoga hano ofodo ganodini bubunuma heda: lebe ba: sa. Amola amo da ninima muwane guda: le aimisunu agoai ba: sa.”
The Lord's message came to me again, asking, “What can you see?” “I see a pot that's boiling,” I answered, “and it's tipping in this direction from the north.”
14 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Gugunufinisisu hou bubunuma heda: su agoane da gagoe (north) heda: le, Yuda soge amoga wadela: lesimusa: misunu.
Then the Lord told me, “Trouble brewing from the north will sweep out over everyone living in the country.
15 Bai Na da gagoe (north) fifi asi gala huluane guiguda: misa: ne wele sia: nana. Amo ga fifi asi gala ilia hina bagade da ilia fisu (fedege ilia ouligisu hou) amo Yelusaleme logo holei ga: su amola ea gagoi amola Yuda moilai huluane amo sisiga: le, amoga gaguli dagoi ba: mu.
Watch out! I'm going to summon all the nations and kings of the north,” declares the Lord. “Each of these kings will come and set up their thrones right at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and attack all its fortifications and all the towns in Judah.
16 Na fi dunu da wadela: le hamoiba: le, Na da ilima se imunu. Ilia da Na fisiagai dagoi. Ilia da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima gobele salasu hou hamosu. Ilia da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila liligi amo hamone, ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu.
I will carry out my sentence against the inhabitants for all their wickedness, because they abandoned me to burn incense to pagan gods, to worship idols they themselves made.
17 Yelemaia! Momagema! Ilima asili, Na dima sia: i liligi huluane ilima olelema. Wali, iliba: le mae beda: ma! Dia da wali ilima beda: i galea, di da ilima doaga: sea, Na da di iliba: le beda: ma: ne baligili hamomu.
You need to get yourself ready. You are going to stand before the people and tell them everything that I order you to say. Don't be scared by them, or I will scare you in front of them.
Look! Today I have made you like a fortified city, a pillar of iron, a wall of bronze to stand against the whole country—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the country.
19 Yelemaia! Nabima! Dunu huluane amo soge ganodini esala (Yuda hina bagade ili amola eagene ouligisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, amola mafua dunu huluane) da dima ha lamu. Be wali eso, di da ilima dabele gegema: ne, Na da dima gasa iaha. Di da gasa bagadeba: le, ilima moilai gasawane gagoi, amola ouli momomogoi amola ouliga hamoi dobea agoane ba: mu. Ilia da dima hame hasalimu. Bai Na da di gaga: ma: ne, ani esalumu. Na, HinaGode, da sia: i dagoi.”
They will fight against you but they won't defeat you, because I'll be there to rescue you,” declares the Lord.
