1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 “Dia ofodo hahamosu dunu ea diasuga masa. Amasea, Na da Na sia: ne iasu dima imunu.”
Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Amaiba: le, na da amoga asili, ofodo hahamosu dunu ea sisiga: i hahamosu liligi amoga ofodo hamonanebe ba: i.
Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheels.
4 E da laga osoboga hamone, ofodo da fonobahadi wadela: i ba: sea, e da amo laga osobo mugululi, eno ofodo hamosu.
And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it another vessel again, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
6 “Ofodo hahamosu dunu da wadela: i ofodo mugululi, eno hamoi. Na da dilia Isala: ili dunu ilima, amo hou defele hamomu da defea. Laga osobo da ofodo hahamosu dunu ea lobo ganodini hi hanaiba: le hamoma: ne diala. Amo defele, dilia da Na lobo ganodini diala.
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
7 Na da eso enoga fi afae amo mugululi, wadela: lesimusa: sia: sea,
At that instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it,
8 be amo fi da ilia wadela: i hou fisili, Nama sinidigisia, Na da Na ilegei sia: i amo hame hamomu.
if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
9 Be Na da fi eno amo Na da bugima: ne amola bagadewane gaguma: ne sia: sea,
And at that instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,
10 be amo fi da Na sia: mae nabawane, wadela: i hou bagade hamosea, Na da amo fi ilima Na sia: i liligi hame hamomu.
if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.
11 Defea! Wali Yuda fi dunu amola Yelusaleme dunu ilima Na ilima se ima: ne ilegelala. Ilia da wadela: i hou hamonanebe fisima: ne, amola ilia hou afadenema: ne sia: ma.
Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you. Return ye now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
12 Be ilia da bu amane adole imunu, ‘Hame mabu! Ninia abuliba: le sinidigima: bela: ? Ninia da gasa fili, ninia hanaiga fawane hamomu.’”
But they say, It is in vain. For we will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.
13 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Fifi asi gala huluane ilima adole ba: ma! Agoai hou da musa: ba: sula: ? Isala: ili dunu da baligili wadela: i bagade hamoi dagoi.
Therefore thus says Jehovah: Ask ye now among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
14 Lebanone gele goumi da eso huluane mu gohona: amoga dedeboi dagole hame gasi ahoa. Ilia anegagi hano ahoabe da hafoga: su hame dawa:
Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Or shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
15 Be Na fi dunu da Na gogolei dagoi. Ilia da ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amoma nodomusa: , gabusiga: manoma ulagisa. Ilia da logodafa amoga sadenane dafabeba: le, logo hisu amoga da dawa: digisu alalo hame gala, amoga ahoa.
For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. And they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up,
16 Ilia da Na soge wadela: lesiba: le, eno dunu da amoba: le beda: iwane fofogadigisa. Ilia da Na soge eso huluane higamu. Nowa da baligimusa: ahoasea, da fofogadigibiba: le, ilia dialuma fofoga: mu.
to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shake his head.
17 Ilia ha lai da ilima hasalasima: ne, Na da Na fi dunu afagogomu. Ilia da dou gusudili mabe fo amoga gaguli ahoabe agoane ba: mu. Na da ilima Na baligi olelemu. Wadela: mu eso da doaga: sea, Na da ili hame fidimu.”
I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
18 Amalalu, dunu ilia amane sia: i, “Ninia Yelemaia wadela: musa: ilegela: di. Gobele salasu eno da ninima olelelala. Amola bagade dawa: su dunu ilima ninia da dawa: laha. Amola balofede dunu eno da Gode Ea sia: ninima olelelala. Ninia da Yelemaia ea sia: mae nabawane, ema fofada: mu da defea.”
Then they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah. For the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
19 Amaiba: le, na da Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! Na sia: be nabima! Amola nama ha lai, amo ilia da nama gadele sia: be nabima!
Give heed to me, O Jehovah, and hearken to the voice of those who contend with me.
20 Hou ida: iwane hamoi da wadela: i dabe lamu da defeala: ? Hame mabu! Be ilia da na ganodini dafama: ne, uli dogoi dagoi. Dawa: ma! Na da ili gaga: ma: ne Dima misini, Di da ougiba: le se baligili ilima mae ima: ne sia: i.
Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them.
21 Be wali, Hina Gode! Ilia mano ha: ga bogogia: ma: ne amola ilia gegesu ganodini bogoma: ne, logo doasima. Uda da ilia egoa amola mano fisima: ne amola dunu da oloiba: le bogoma: ne amola ayeligi da gegesu ganodini bogoma: ne, logo doasima.
Therefore deliver up their sons to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword, and let their wives become childless, and widows, and let their men be slain of death, and their young men smitten of the sword in battle.
22 Ilima sisasu mae sia: ne, Dia gasa fi dunu ilia liligi lale, diasu mugulumusa: asunasima. Ilia da beda: iba: le bagade wele sia: ma: ne hamoma. Bai ilia da na dafama: ne, uli dogoi, amola na sa: ima: ne, sani bagohame gei dagoi.
Let a cry be heard from their houses when thou shall bring a troop suddenly upon them, for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
23 Be, Hina Gode! Ilia na medole legemusa: ilegei, amo huluane Di dawa: Ilia wadela: i hou amo Dia mae gogolema: ne olofoma. Dia da ilima ougiba: le, amo dunu hasalima: ne, gisalugala: ma.”
Yet, Jehovah, thou know all their counsel against me to kill me. Do not forgive their iniquity, nor blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee. Deal thou with them in the time of thine anger.
