Yelemaia 21
1 Yuda hina bagade, Sedegaia, da Ba: sie (Ma: legaia egefe) amola Sefanaia (Ma: iasia egefe) nama adole ba: musa: asunasi.
This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord when King Zedekiah sent Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and the priest Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah to talk with him. They said,
2 Ela da nama amane adole ba: i, “Ninia dima dafawane edegesa. Hina Gode da nini fidima: ne sia: ma. Bai Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola ea dadi gagui dunu da moilaiga doagala: lala. Amabela: ? Hina Gode da nini fidima: ne, degabo ba: su hou afae hamosea, Nebiuga: denese da hobeama: bela: ?”
“Please speak with Lord on our behalf because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is attacking us. Perhaps the Lord will do some miracle for us like all those miracles he used to do, so that Nebuchadnezzar will retreat from us.”
3 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama sia: i, amola na da nama asunasi dunu amoma alofele sia: i,
But Jeremiah replied, “Tell Zedekiah this:
4 “Hina Gode, Isala: ili ilia Gode, da Sedegaiama amane sia: sa, ‘Sedegaia! Dia dadi gagui wa: i amo da Ba: bilone hina amola ea dadi gagui dunu ilima gegenana, amo Na da hasalimu. Na da dilia gegesu liligi huluane moilai bai bagade dogoa gilisili lelegela heda: mu.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to turn the weapons you're holding against you, the weapons you're using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonian army outside the wall besieging you. I'm going to bring them right into the center of this city.
5 Na da Na gasaga amola Na ougi bagadedafa amoga dima gegemu.
I myself will fight against you with all my power and might, with the full force of my furious anger.
6 Dunu huluanedafa amo moilai ganodini esala, amo Na da medole legemu. Dunu amola ohe fi defele da oloi wadela: idafa amoga bogogia: mu.
I will kill those living in this city, human beings and animals. They will die from a terrible plague.
7 Be di, amola dia eagene ouligisu dunu, amola nowa da gegesu amoga hame bogoi esalea, amo Na da logo doasimuba: le, hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola dilia ha lai dunu (ilia dili medole legemu hanai) da dili gagulaligimu. Nebiuga: denese da dili medole legemu. E da dili dunu afae amoma hamedafa asigimu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.’”
After that, declares the Lord, I'm going to hand you over, Zedekiah king of Judah, as well as your officers and the people who are left in this city after the plague and war and famine, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to your enemies who want you dead. He will attack you; he won't spare you or show you any pity or mercy.
8 Amalalu, Hina Gode da na da dunu huluane ilima amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Nabima! Na, Hina Gode, da dili afae ilegema: ne, logo aduna dilima olelesa. Logo afae da esalusu amoga doaga: sa. Eno da bogosu amoga doaga: sa.
Tell the people this as well: This is what the Lord says: Look, I'm placing before you the path of life and the path of death.
9 Nowa da Yelusaleme mae yolesili amo ganodini esalea, da ha: ga o olobeba: le bogomu. Be nowa da gadili Ba: bilone dunu (amo da moilaiga doagala: lala) amo gagulaligimusa: ahoasea, da bogosu hame ba: mu. E da esalumu fawane.
If you stay in this city you'll die either by sword and famine and plague, but if you leave and surrender to the Babylonians who are besieging you, you will live. In fact it will be like gaining your life as plunder from a war.
10 Na da amo moilai bai bagade wadela: musa: ilegeidafa. Na da amo moilai bai bagade, Ba: bilone hina bagadema imunu. Amola e da amo laluga ulagili, osobo amola nasubu fawane dialebe ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
For I am determined to bring disaster on this city, and not blessings, declares the Lord. It will be handed over to the king of Babylon, who will destroy it with fire.
11 Hina Gode da amo sia: Yuda hina bagade fi (Da: ibidi egaga fi) ilima sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Nabima! Na, Hina Gode da amane sia: sa! Moloidafa hou eso huluane hamoma: ne, ouligima! Ogogosu hamosu dunu ilia logo hedofama, amola dunu ilima ilia da ogogosa, amo gaga: ma! Amane hame hamoi ganiaba, Na ougi da lalu ha: ba: domu hamedei agoai nenana: loba.
In addition tell the royal family of the king of Judah to listen to the Lord's message:
Descendants of David, this is what the Lord says: Make sure you judge fairly every day. Protect those who are being unjustly treated from those corrupt people, otherwise because of their evil actions my anger will blaze out like fire that can't be put out.
13 Dili! Yelusaleme fi! Dilia da igi bagade amo umi da: iya gado heda: le lelebe defele, hahawane fago da: iya gado esalebe ba: sa. Be Na da dilima gegemu. Dunu eno da dilima doagala: le, dilia gagoi amo fili, moilai bai bagade ganodini golili misunu da hamedei, dilisu hidale sia: sa.
Watch out, because I'm going to fight against you people who live above the valley on top of a flat rock, declares the Lord. You say, ‘Who can attack us? Who can break down our defenses?’
14 Be dilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Na da dilima se imunu. Na da dilia hina bagade diasu laluga ulagimu, amola amo lalu da liligi huluane amo sisiga: le dialebe, amo nene dagomu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
I'm going to punish you as you deserve for what you've done, declares the Lord. I will set your forest on fire and it will burn up everything around you.”
