Yelemaia 18
1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
The word that came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:
2 “Dia ofodo hahamosu dunu ea diasuga masa. Amasea, Na da Na sia: ne iasu dima imunu.”
Arise and go down to the house of the potter, —and, there, will I 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.
So I went down, to the house of the potter, —and there he was! making a piece of 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.
Then was marred, the vessel that he was making, while yet it was clay in the hand of the potter, —so he turned and made of it another vessel, as seemed right in the eyes of the potter to make it.
5 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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.
Like this potter, can I not deal with you O house of Israel? Demandeth Yahweh: Lo! as clay in the hand of the potter, So, are, ye, in my hand O house of Israel.
7 Na da eso enoga fi afae amo mugululi, wadela: lesimusa: sia: sea,
The moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, —to pull up and to break down, and to destroy;
8 be amo fi da ilia wadela: i hou fisili, Nama sinidigisia, Na da Na ilegei sia: i amo hame hamomu.
and that nation return from its wickedness against whom I have spoken, then will I repent concerning the calamity which I had devised to bring upon it.
9 Be Na da fi eno amo Na da bugima: ne amola bagadewane gaguma: ne sia: sea,
And, the moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, —to build and to plant;
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.
and it commit wickedness in mine eyes, in not hearkening unto my voice, then will I repent concerning the good wherewith I had said I would do it good.
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, I pray thee, speak unto the men of Judah and concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! I am fashioning against you calamity, and devising against you, a device, —Return I pray you every man from his wicked 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.’”
And, since they will say, Hopeless! For after our own devices, will we walk, And, every one, the stubbornness of his own wicked heart, will we do!
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 saith Yahweh, Ask I pray you among the nations, —Who hath heard such things as these? A very horrible thing, hath, the virgin, Israel done!
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 waters from afar, deep, overflowing, 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.
Yet my people have forgotten me, Unto vanity, have they been burning incense; And it hath caused them to stumble In their ways The roads of age-past times, To walk in by-paths—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 a desolation The hissings of age-abiding times, —Every one that passeth by her, shall be astonished and wag 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.”
Like an east wind, will I scatter them before the enemy, —The back and not the face, will I let them see in the day of their distress.
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 said they, —Come ye and let us devise against Jeremiah devices, For the law shall not perish from the priest, Nor, counsel, from the wise, Nor, the word from the prophet: Come and let as smite him with the tongue, And let us not give ear 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 thou ear O Yahweh unto me, —And hearken unto the voice of mine accusers.
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 digged a pit for my life, —Remember how I stood before thee To speak in their behalf what was good! To turn back thine indignation 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, give thou up their sons to the famine And deliver them into the hands of the sword, And let their, wives, become, childless and widows, And let, their men, be slain by death, Their young men be smitten by 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 there be heard a cry out of their houses, When thou shalt bring in upon them a troop, suddenly, —Because they digged a pit to capture me, And snares, did they hide 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.”
But, thou, O Yahweh, knowest all their counsels against me to put me to death, Put thou no propitiatory-covering over their iniquity, And their sin from before thee, do not thou blot out, —But let them be overthrown before thee, In the time of thine anger, deal thou effectively with them.
