< 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.
The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, —of the priests who were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin:
2 Yousaia (A: mone egefe) da Yuda soge ouligisu. Ea ouligisu ode 13 amoga, Hina Gode da Yelemaiama sia: i.
unto whom came the word of Yahweh, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, —in the thirteenth year of his reign;
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.
it came also in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, —as far as the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
4 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
So then, the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
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.”
Before I formed thee at thy birth, I took knowledge of thee, And before thy nativity, I hallowed thee, —A prophet to the nations, I appointed thee.
6 Na da bu adole i, “Ouligisudafa Hina! Na da sia: mu gogolei! Na da goi fawane!”
Then said I—Ah! My Lord Yahweh! Lo! I know not how to speak, —For a child, am I!
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!
Then said Yahweh unto me, Do not say, A child, am, I,—For against whomsoever I send thee, shalt thou go, And whatsoever I command thee, shalt thou speak:
8 Iliba: le mae beda: ma! Bai Na da di gaga: ma: ne ani masunu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
Be not afraid of their faces, For with thee, am I, to deliver thee Declareth Yahweh.
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!
Then Yahweh put forth his hand, and touched my mouth, —and Yahweh said unto me, Lo! I have put my words in thy 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.”
See! I have set thee in charge this day, over the nations and over the kingdoms, To uproot and to break down, and to destroy and to tear in pieces, —To build and to 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.”
Moreover the Word of Yahweh came unto me saying, What canst thou see Jeremiah? And I said, A twig of an almond-tree, can I see.
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.”
Then said Yahweh unto me—Thou hast rightly seen, —for keeping watch, am I over my word to perform it.
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.”
And the word of Yahweh came unto me a second time saying, What canst thou see? And I said, A boiling caldron, can I see, with, the front thereof, on 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 said Yahweh unto me, —Out of the North, shall break forth calamity, against all the inhabitants of the land.
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.
For behold me! calling for all the families of the kingdoms of the North, Declareth Yahweh, —and they shall come, and set every one his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem and against all her walls round about, and against all the cities of 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.
Then will I pronounce my judgments against them, concerning all their wickedness, —in that they have forsaken me and have burned incense unto other gods, and have bowed down to the works of their own hands,
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.
Thou, therefore, shalt gird thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them, all that, I, command thee, —be not dismayed because of them, lest I dismay thee before their face.
I, therefore—lo! I have set thee to-day as a fortified city, and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze, over all the land, —against the kings of Judah, against her princes, against her priests and against the people of the land.
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.”
And they will fight against thee but shall not prevail against thee, —for with thee, am I, Declareth Yahweh, to deliver thee.
