Yelemaia 12
1 Hina Gode! Na da Dima fofada: loba, Di da moloidafa ba: la: loba. Be na da moloidafa hou hisu hisu Dima adole ba: ma: mu. Abuliba: le wadela: i hamosu dunu da bagade gagui amola hahawane esalabala? Abuliba: le ogogosu wamolasu dunu da didili hamosala: ?
[Too] righteous art thou, O Lord, that I could plead with thee; yet must I speak of [the principles of] justice with thee: Wherefore is the way of the wicked happy? do all those prosper that deal treacherously?
2 Di da amo wadela: i hamosu dunu bugisa. Ilia difi da gudu sa: ili, ilia heda: sa amola fage legesa. Ilia da ogogole eno dunuma Dia hou nodone sia: sa. Be ilia da Dima hame asigisa.
Thou hast planted them; they have also taken root; they grow; they also bring forth fruit: thou art near, in their mouth, and far from their mind.
3 Be Hina Gode! Di da na hou dawa: Di da na hawa: hamosu ba: lala! Na da Dima bagade asigisa. Amo di dawa: Dunu da sibi medole legemusa: hiouginana ahoa, amo defele Dia amo wadela: i dunu hiouginana masa. Dia ili medole legemusa: eso ilegema! Amola ilia da amo esoga doaga: mane, Dia noga: le sosodo aligima!
But thou, O Lord, knowest me; thou seest me, and probest my heart toward thee; set them apart like sheep for the slaughter, and destine them for the day of slaying.
4 Eso habodane ninia soge da hafoga: i dagoi amola gisi sogebi huluane ganodini bioi dagoi ba: ma: bela: ? Ohe fi amola sio fi amola da bogogia: lala. Bai ninia fi dunu da wadela: le hamonana. Amola ilia da amane sia: daha, “Gode da ninia hamobe hame ba: lala.”
How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of all the field wither? Because of the wickedness of those that dwell therein are wholly removed the beasts and the birds; because they said, He will not see our last end.
5 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Yelemaia! Di da dunu baligimusa: hehenanebeba: le, helesa. Di da habodane hosi baligimusa: hehenama: bela: ? Di da ifa hamedene umi amoga leloma: ne hame dawa: beba: le, habodane Yodane hano gadenene iwila amo ganodini leloma: bela: ?
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, how then canst thou contend with the horses? and if in the land of peace, [wherein] thou trustedst, [they wearied thee, ] how then wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan?
6 Dunu huluane, amola dia sosogodafa, diolalali da di hohonoi dagoi. Dunu eno da dima doagala: sea, ilia amola da dima doagala: musa: gilisisa. Ilia da dima asigi sia: sia: sea, ilia hou mae dafawaneyale dawa: ma.”
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, even they have called forth a crowd of men after thee: believe them not, though they speak kindly unto thee.
7 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Isala: ili yolesi dagoi. Na ilegei fi amo Na da higale yolesi. Dunu fi amoma Na da asigisa, Na da ilia ha lai dunu amo ilia lobo da: iya ligisi dagoi.
I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my heritage; I have given up the most dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Na ilegei fi da Nama baligi fa: su. Ilia da laione wa: me iwilaga esala defele Nama husu. Amaiba: le, wali Na da Na fi higasa.
My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest; it sent forth its voice against me: therefore do I hate it.
9 Na ilegei fi dunu da sio afae amo da la: idi la: idi buhibaga doagala: i, amo defele ba: sa. Sigua ohe huluane, ilia amo moma: ne misa: ne wele sia: ma!
Is my heritage become unto me as a bird of prey stained with blood? so that the birds of prey are all around it? Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them hither to devour.
10 Ga fi ouligisu dunu bagohame da Na waini efe sagai wadela: lesi. Ilia da Na ifabi huluane amo ososa: gi. Na soge ida: iwane gala ilia wadela: lesili, bu hafoga: i soge agoane hamosu.
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden under foot my field, they have rendered my pleasant field a desolate wilderness.
11 Na da Na soge ba: sea, wadela: i hafoga: i soge agoane ba: sa. Soge huluanedafa da wadela: i hafoga: i soge agoane hamoi, amola dunu huluane da amo asigiwane hame dawa: digisa.
They have made it a desert, and being desolate it mourneth before me: the whole land is made desolate, because no man laid it to heart.
12 Hafoga: i agolo soge amoga dunu da gegele lamusa: maha. Na da soge huluane wadela: lesimusa: gegesu dunu asunasi dagoi. Dunu huluane da olofole esalumu hame dawa:
Over all the mountain-peaks in the wilderness did the destroyers come; for the sword of the Lord devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: there is no peace to any flesh.
13 Na fi dunu da widi hawa: bugi, be gagalobo fawane faisa. Ilia da gasa bagadewane hawa: hamoi, be bidi hame ba: i. Na da ilima ougi bagadeba: le, ilia sagai da ha: i manu hame legei.”
They have sown wheat, but they reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain [but] have no profit; be therefore ashamed of your products, because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
14 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Isala: ili ilia na: iyado fi dunu ilima sia: gala. Bai ilia da soge amo Na da Na fi Isala: ili dunu ilima i, amo wadela: lesi dagoi. Dunu da bugi amo a: le fasibi defele, Na da amo dunu ilia soge amoga a: le fasimu. Na da Yuda fi dunu gaga: mu.
Thus hath said the Lord against all my bad neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit, Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and the house of Judah will I pluck out from the midst of them.
15 Be Na da amo fi dunu fadegale fasili ga gaguli ahoasea, fa: no Na da bu ilima asigili, ilia sogedafa amoga bu oule masunu.
And it shall come to pass, that, after I have plucked them out, and I will again have mercy on them, and will restore them, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 Ilia da dafawanedafa Na fi dunu ilia sia: ne gadosu hou lalegagusia amola ‘Hina Gode da esala’ amo sia: dafawane ilegesea (musa: ilia da Na fi ilima Ba: iele ea dio amoma dafawane ilegema: ne sia: su olelei), amasea ilia da Na fidafa amoga gilisi dagoi ba: mu, amola ilia da hahawane bagade gaguiwane esalumu.
And it shall come to pass, if they will truly learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As the Lord liveth; as they had taught my people to swear by Ba'al: that they shall then be built up in the midst of my people.
17 Be nowa fi da Na sia: hame nabasea, Na da amo fi fadegale fasili, wadela: lesimu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
But if they will not hearken, then will I pluck out that nation, plucking out and exterminating [them], saith the Lord.
