Yelemaia 2
1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
The Lord's message came to me, saying,
2 “Amo sia: Yelusaleme esalebe dunu huluane ilima olelema, ‘Dia manohadi eso amoga Nama mae fisili noga: le fa: no bobogelalu. Na da fedege agoane di uda lai agoane laloba, di da Nama bagade asigisu. Dia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge, soge amo da ha: i manu hame bugi soge, amo ganodini Nama noga: le fa: no bobogesu. Amo hou Na bu dawa: lala.
Go and announce to the people of Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says: I remember when you were young how devoted to me you were. I remember how you loved me when you were my bride. I remember how you followed me in the desert, in a land where nothing is grown.
3 Isala: ili fi! Dili da Na: fawane galu. Dilia da Na dogolegei sema fi galu. Nowa dunu da dilima se iasu, amo Na da wadela: su amola se iasu ilima iasi. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.” Isala: ili Fi ilia Aowalalia ilia Wadela: i Hou
Israel was holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of his harvest. Anyone who ate this harvest was guilty of sin, and they experienced the disastrous results, declares the Lord.
4 Dilia! Ya: igobe egaga fi dunu! Isala: ili fi dilia! Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima!
Listen to the Lord's message, descendants of Jacob, all you Israelites.
5 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dilia aowalalia da Nama adi wadela: i hou diwane udidibala: ? Ilia da abuliba: le Nama baligi fa: bela? Ilia da hamedei loboga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila ilima nodone sia: ne gadobeba: le, bu ilia hou amola da hamedei ba: i dagoi.
This is what the Lord says: What did your forefathers think was wrong with me that they went so far away from me? They went off to worship useless idols, and as a result became useless themselves!
6 Na da ili gaga: le, Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, ga asunasi! Ilia da hahawane masa: ne, Na da ili bisili, wadela: i hafoga: i soge (amo ganodini da gibu hame, gasi dunasi bagade amola dunu hamedafa esala) amo baligima: ne oule asi. Be ilia da Nama hame asigi galu.
They didn't ask themselves, “Where is the Lord who led us from Egypt, who led us through the wasteland, through a land of deserts and ravines, a land of drought and darkness, a land that no one travels through and where no one lives?”
7 Na da ili nasegagi soge noga: idafa, ilia da amo ea ha: i manu amola liligi noga: idafa hahawane lama: ne, amoma oule misi. Be amo mae dawa: le, ilia da Na soge wadela: lesi. Ilia da soge Na ilima i, amo wadela: lesi.
I led you into a productive land to eat all the good things that grow there. But you came and made my land unclean, making it offensive to me.
8 Ilia gobele salasu dunu da “Hina Gode da habila: ?” hame adole ba: i. Na gobele salasu dunu, ilia da Na hamedafa dawa: i. Na fi ouligisu dunu da Nama odoga: i dagoi. Balofede dunu da Ba: iele ea dioba: le ilegele sia: i, amola hamedei loboga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila ilima nodone sia: ne gadoi.
Your priests did not ask, “Where is the Lord?” Your teachers of the law no longer believed in me, and your leaders rebelled against me. Your prophets prophesied by calling on Baal and followed worthless idols.
9 Amaiba: le, Na, Hina Gode, da Na fi ilima bu fofada: mu. Na da iligaga fi ilima fofada: mu.
So I'm going to confront you again, declares the Lord, and I will bring charges against your children's children.
10 Guma: dini Saibalase oga amoga masa! Amola dunu eno gusudili Gida sogega asunasima. Amasea, noga: le ba: ma! Amo hou defele da musa: hamedafa ba: i.
Travel over to the islands of Cyprus and take a look; go to the land of Kedar and examine carefully to see if anything like this has ever happened before.
11 Fifi asi gala eno da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ hame afadenesu. Be Na fi da Na fisili, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi lai. Na da ilia Godedafa amola Na da ili fidibiba: le, eno fifi asi gala da ilima nodoi. Be ilia da Na fisili, ogogosu ‘gode’ amo da ili fidimusa: hame dawa: , ilima fa: no bobogei.
Has a nation ever changed its gods? —even though they're not gods at all! Yet my people have traded their glorious God for worthless idols.
12 Amaiba: le, Na da mu amoma amane sia: sa ‘Fofogadigima! Dia beda: iba: le amola fofogadigiba: le, yaguguma.
You heavens, you should be appalled, shocked and horrified! declares the Lord.
13 Bai Na fi dunu da wadela: i hou aduna hamoi dagoi. Na da gaheabolo hano bubuga: su defele gala. Be ilia da Na hihini, Nama baligi fa: i. Amola ilia da igi magufu amoga hano si dogoi. Be amo hano si da goudaiba: le, hano da amo ganodini dialumu da hamedei ba: sa.”
For my people have done two evil things. They have abandoned me, the source of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that can't hold water.
14 Isala: ili fi da udigili hawa: hamosu fi hame. Ilia da udigili hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne, hame lalelegei. Amaiba: le, abuliba: le ilia ha lai dunu da ili awele gugunufisala: ?
Are Israelites slaves? Were they born into slavery? So why have they become victims?
15 Ilia da Isala: ili fi ilima laione wa: me defele husa. Isala: ili ea ha lai da Isala: ili soge wadela: lesili, hafoga: i dunu hame esalebe soge amo defele hamoi dagoi. Isala: ili moilai huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi dialebe, amola amo ganodini, dunu da hame esalebe.
The young lions roared at you; they growled loudly. They have devastated your country; your towns lie in ruins. No one lives there.
16 Dafawane! Memefisi dunu amola Dabinisi dunu da Isala: ili ea dialuma goudai dagoi.
The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved your heads.
17 Isala: ili! Disu da amo se nabasu hamoi dagoi. Na da dia Hina Godedafa amola Na da di logoga hahawane oule ahoanebe ba: i. Be di da Na yolesi dagoi.
Didn't you bring this on yourself by abandoning the Lord your God when he was leading you in the right way?
18 Di da Idibidi sogega asili, Naile Hano amoga nasea, adi bidi ba: ma: bela: ? O Asilia sogega asili, Iufala: idisi Hano amoga nasea, adi bidi ba: ma: bela: ?
Now what will you benefit as you travel back to Egypt to drink the waters of Shihor River? What will you gain on your way to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
19 Di da Nama baligi fa: beba: le, wadela: i bagade hamoi dagoi. Amo hou da fedege agoane dima fofada: ne, se imunu. Dia da dawa: mu. Na da dia Hina Gode, amola di da Na fisibiba: le, wadela: i bagade hamoi. Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Bagadedafa da sia: i dagoi.”
Your own wickedness will discipline you; your own disobedience will teach you a lesson. Think about it and you'll recognize what a bitter evil it is for you to abandon the Lord your God and not to respect me, declares the Lord God Almighty.
20 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili! Di da musa: hemonega Na Hinadafa Hou higasu. Di da Na sia: nabimu higasu, amola Nama nodone sia: ne gadomu higasu. Be dia da goumi huluane amo da: iya amola golofoyei ifa huluane amo hagudu, dia da ogogosu wadela: i uda lasu hou ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu.
You broke off your yoke and ripped off your chains long ago. “I won't worship you!” you declared. On the contrary, you lay down like a prostitute on every high hill and under every green tree.
21 Na da fedege agoane di waini efe hawa: ida: iwane agoane bugi. Be di da wadela: le heda: le, wali hamedei dasai waini efe agoane ba: sa.
I was the one who planted you like the finest vine, grown from the very best seed. How could you degenerate into a useless wild vine?
22 Di da nigima: agoane ba: sa. Amola di da gasa bagade safo amoga dia nigima: doga: i ganiaba, Na da dia nigima: amaiwane dialebe ba: la: loba.
Even bleach and plenty of soap can't get rid of your guilty stains. I still see them, declares the Lord God.
23 Dia da dia hou hame wadela: lesi amola Ba: ielema hame nodone sia: ne gadosu sia: sa. Be amo da ogogosa. Ba: ma! Di da fago ganodini, wadela: i hou bagade hamosu. Di da sigua ga: mele aseme amo da hafoga: i sogega gawali hogomusa: hehenasu agoane gala. (Gode da fedege agoane, Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da dunu afae agoane sia: sa.)
How dare you say, “I'm not unclean! I haven't gone to worship the Baals!” Look at what you've been doing down in the valley. Admit what you've done! You're a young female camel, racing around everywhere.
24 E da gawali hanaiba: le, nowa da e ouligima: bela: ? Gawali da ema doaga: musa: dawa: sea, e da logo doasi dagoi hahawane ba: sa. Amo esoha, amo aseme da gawali ema doaga: mu bagade hanai gala.
You're a female donkey living in the desert, sniffing the wind for a mate because she's in heat. No one can control her at mating time. All those who're looking for her won't have trouble finding her when she's in heat.
25 Isala: ili! Amo hou yolema! Di da ‘gode’ eno ilima hehenane fa: no bobogebeba: le, dia emo da wadela: sa amola dia da: gisu da hafoga: i. Be di da amane sia: sa, “Hame! Na da sinidigimu hamedei ba: sa. Na da ga fi ‘gode’ hanai gala amola na da ilima fa: no bobogemusa: dawa: lala.”
You don't have to run around barefoot or have your throat go dry. But you reply, “No, it's impossible! I'm in love with foreign gods—I must go to them.”
26 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ilia da wamolasu dunu gagulaligisia, e da gogosiasu ba: sa. Amo defele, dilia Isala: ili dunu huluane, dilia hina bagade, eagene ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu amola ba: la: lusu dunu, huluane da gogosiasu ba: mu.
In the same way that a thief feels guilty when they're caught, so the people of Israel have been shamed. All of them—their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets.
27 Dilia da ifa amo da dilia ada amola igi da dilia ame, amo sia: sa. Amaiba: le, dilia da se bagade amola gogosiasu ba: mu. Bai dilia da Nama mae sinidigili, Nama baligi fa: i dagoi. Be dilia da se nabasea, dilia da Nama misini, Na dili gaga: ma: ne edegesa.
They say to an idol made of wood, “You are my father,” and one made of stone, “You gave birth to me.” They turn their backs on me, and hide their faces from me. But when they're in trouble they come begging to me, saying, “Please come and save us!”
28 Amo ‘gode’ liligi dilisu hamoi, amo da habila: ? Dilia se nabasea, ilia da dili fidimu da defea. Ilia da amo hou hamoma: ne defelela: ? Yuda! Dia ‘gode’ ilia idi da dia moilai bai bagade huluane ilia idi defele gala.
So where are these “gods” of yours that you made for yourselves? Let them come and help you when you're in trouble! Let them save you if they can, because you Israelites have as many gods as you have towns.
29 Dilia Nama egasu da adila: ? Dilia da abuliba: le Nama odoga: bela: ?
Why are you complaining to me? It's all of you who have all rebelled against me! declares the Lord.
30 Na da dilima se iasu be dilia hou hame hahamoi. Na da dilia hou hahamoma: ne sia: i, be dilia da hame nabi. Dilia da ougi bagade laione wa: me defele, dilia balofede dunu medole legei.
It was pointless of me to punish your children because they refused to accept any discipline. You used your own swords to kill your prophets, destroying them like a ferocious lion.
31 Isala: ili dunu! Na sia: nabima! Na da dilima adi wadela: i hou hamobela: ? Na da dilima wadela: i hafoga: i soge o gasi amola wadela: lesisu soge agoane ba: bela: ? Hame mabu! Amaiba: le, dilia da abuliba: le dilia hanaiga hamomu sia: sala: ? Abuliba: le Nama hamedafa sinidigimu sia: sala: ?
You people of today, think about what the Lord is saying: Israel, have I treated you like an empty desert, or a land of thick darkness? Why are my people saying, “We can go where we like! We don't have to come and worship you any more”?
32 Uda a: fini da ea nina: hamosu igi gogolesala: ? Uda da ea gawa fisia ga: su abula ida: iwane gogolesala: ? Hame mabu! Be Na fi dunu da eso amo idimu hamedei amoga Na gogolei dagoi.
Does a girl forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding dress? Yet my people have forgotten me for too many years to count.
33 Dilia da dili lamu dunu ilima fa: no bobogemu bagade dawa: Wadela: idafa uda da dilia hou ba: sea, eno wadela: i hou baligili hamomusa: dawa:
How cleverly you look for your lovers! Even prostitutes could learn something from you!
34 Dilia abula da wamolasu dunu ilia maga: mega nigima: i hame, be hame gagui dunu amola asaboi wadela: i hamosu hame dawa: dunu, amo ea maga: mega nigima: i dagoi.
On top of that, your clothes are stained with the blood of the poor and the innocent. It's not like you killed them breaking into your homes. Despite all this,
35 Be amo mae dawa: le, dilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Ninia da wadela: i hame dawa: Hina Gode da ninima bu ougima: ne da bai hame gala.’ Be dilia da wadela: i hou hame hamosu amo ogogole sia: beba: le, Na, Hina Gode, Na da dilima se imunu.
you go on saying, “I'm innocent! Surely he can't still be upset with me!” Watch out! I'm going to punish you because you go on saying, “I haven't sinned.”
36 Dilia da ga fi ‘gode’ liligi ilima sinidigiba: le, dilia hou fonobone wadela: lesi dagoi. Asilia fi da dili hame fidibiba: le, dilia da da: i dioi galu. Amola Idibidi da dili hame fidimuba: le, dilia da bu da: i diomu.
You're just so fickle—you keep on changing your mind! You will end up just as disappointed by your alliance with Egypt as you were with Assyria.
37 Dilia da gogosiabeba: le, dialuma fili sa: ili, Idibidi mae ba: ma: ne, sinidigimu. Dilia da ga fi ilia hou dafawaneyale dawa: sa. Be Na, Hina Gode da amo dunu higale yolesi. Dilia da ilima fidisu hamedafa ba: mu.
In fact you will go into exile with your hands on your head as prisoners, because the Lord will have nothing to do with those you trust; they will be no help to you.
