< Yelemaia 2 >
1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
The word of Jehovah 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 proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, Thus saith Jehovah: I remember the kindness shown thee in thy youth, The love with which I espoused thee, When thou wast led by me through the wilderness, Through a land that was not sown.
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 a sacred thing to Jehovah, His first ripe fruit. All that devoured him were held guilty; Evil came upon them, saith Jehovah.
4 Dilia! Ya: igobe egaga fi dunu! Isala: ili fi dilia! Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima!
Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, And all the families of the house of Israel!
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.
Thus saith Jehovah: What fault did your fathers find in me, That they went far from me, And walked after vanity, and practised folly?
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 said not, Where is Jehovah, Who brought us up from the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, Through a land of deserts and pits, Through a land of drought and deathlike gloom, Through a land which no man passed through, And where no man dwelt?
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 brought you to a land of fruitful fields, To eat the fruit thereof, and the good thereof; But when ye had come in, ye defiled my land, And made my inheritance an abomination.
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.
The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? And the teachers of the law knew me not; The rulers also rebelled against me; The prophets prophesied in the name of Baal, And walked after things that could not profit.
9 Amaiba: le, Na, Hina Gode, da Na fi ilima bu fofada: mu. Na da iligaga fi ilima fofada: mu.
Therefore I will yet contend with you, saith Jehovah; Yea, with your children's children will I contend.
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.
For pass over to the islands of the Chittaeans, and see; Send ye to Kedar, and inform yourselves well; And see if such a thing hath been done!
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.
Hath any nation changed their gods, even those that are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which cannot profit.
12 Amaiba: le, Na da mu amoma amane sia: sa ‘Fofogadigima! Dia beda: iba: le amola fofogadigiba: le, yaguguma.
Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this! Shudder, and be amazed! saith Jehovah.
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 committed two evils; Me have they forsaken, the fountain of living water, And they have hewn out for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns, that can hold no 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: ?
Is Israel a slave? Is he a home-born servant? Why then hath he become a spoil?
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 roar over him; They lift up their voice; They have made his land a desolation; His cities are burned so as to be without an inhabitant.
16 Dafawane! Memefisi dunu amola Dabinisi dunu da Isala: ili ea dialuma goudai dagoi.
Even the sons of Noph and Tahpanhes have consumed the crown of thy head.
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.
Hath not this come upon thee, Because thou didst forsake Jehovah thy God, When he would have led thee in the 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: ?
And now what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, To drink the waters of the Nile? Or what hast thou to do with the way of Assyria, To drink the waters of the Euphrates?
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.”
Thy wickedness shall chasten thee, And thy transgressions reprove thee; And thou shalt know and see that it is an evil and bitter thing That thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, And that the fear of me is not with thee, Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
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.
Of old hast thou broken thy yoke, And burst thy bands, And said, “I will not be in subjection!” For upon every high hill, And under every green tree, Hast thou reclined, playing the harlot.
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.
Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, Wholly a genuine seed; How then art thou changed to the degenerate shoot of a strange 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.
For though thou wash thee with nitre, And take thee much soap, Yet is thine iniquity black before me, saith Jehovah.
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 canst thou say, “I am not polluted,” “I have not gone after Baals”? Behold thy way in the valley! Know what thou hast done, A swift young camel, traversing her ways.
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.
A wild ass, used to the wilderness, That in her desire snuffeth up the wind, In her occasion, who can turn her aside? All that seek her do not weary themselves; In her month they will find her.
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.”
Withhold thy feet from being unshod, And thy throat from thirst! But thou sayest, There is no remedy! No! For I love strangers, And after them I will go.
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.
As a thief is ashamed when he is taken, So is the house of Israel ashamed, They, their kings, and their princes, And 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.
That say to a stock, Thou art my father, And to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth! For they turn the back to me, and not the face. Yet in the time of their trouble they say, Arise 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.
But where are thy gods, which thou hast made thee? Let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble! For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah!
29 Dilia Nama egasu da adila: ? Dilia da abuliba: le Nama odoga: bela: ?
Why do ye enter into controversy with me? Ye have all rebelled against me, saith Jehovah.
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.
In vain have I smitten your children; They would receive no correction; Your own sword hath devoured your prophets, Like a destroying 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: ?
O generation! Behold ye the word of Jehovah! Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of darkness? Why then say my people, “We will rove at pleasure, We will come no more to thee”?
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.
Can a virgin forget her ornaments, Or a bride her belt? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number!
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:
Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? On this account hast thou accustomed thy ways to wickedness.
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.
Upon thy skirts is found the blood of the innocent poor, Whom thou didst not find committing violence.
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.
But notwithstanding all this, thou sayest, I am innocent; Surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, Because thou sayest, “I have not 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.
Why dost thou run so eagerly, changing thy way? By Egypt also shalt thou be put to shame, Even as thou hast been put to shame by 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.
From Egypt also shalt thou go forth With thy hands upon thy head. For Jehovah hath rejected the objects of thy confidence, Therefore shalt thou not prosper in them.
