Yelemaia 22
1 Hina Gode da na Yuda hina bagade (Da: ibidi egaga fi) amo ea diasuga asili, hina bagade, amola ea eagene ouligisu dunu amola Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima Ea sia: amane olelema: ne sia: i,
This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and say this to him:
‘You are the king of Judah. You are the ruler [MTY], like King David was. You and your officials and your people must listen
3 “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! Ga fi dunu amola guluba: mano amola didalo, ilima mae wadela: le hamoma. Amola amo hadigi moilai bai bagade ganodini, hou ida: iwane hamoi dunu, amo mae medole legema.
to what Yahweh says: “Act fairly and justly. Do what is right. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue people from those who oppress them. Stop doing evil things. Do not mistreat those who have come here from other countries, and do not mistreat orphans and widows. Stop murdering here [in Jerusalem] [MTY] those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong).
4 Dilia da dafawane Na sia: i defele hamosea, amasea Da: ibidi egaga fi da hina bagade hawa: hamosu hamonanumu. Amola ilia, amola ilia eagene ouligisu dunu, da hina bagade ea diasu logo holei amoga mae yolesili, hosi amola ‘sa: liode’ da: iya fila heda: iwane golili masunu.
If you obey those commands carefully, there will [always] be some descendant of King David who will be ruling here [MTY] [in Jerusalem]. The king and his officials and other people will ride through the gates of the city in chariots and on horses.
5 Be dilia Na sema higale, hame nabasea, Na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Amo hina bagade diasu da mugululi, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
But if you refuse to pay attention to those commands, I, Yahweh, solemnly declare, with myself [MTY] as a witness, that this palace will become a pile of rubble.”’”
6 Na da Yuda hina bagade diasu noga: idafa Gilia: de soge amola Lebanone Goumi defele hahawane ba: sa. Be Na da amo wadela: lesili, hafoga: i soge amo ganodini dunu da esalumu hame dawa: , amo defele hamomu.
And this is what Yahweh says about the king’s palace: “[I like] this palace, like I like the forests in the Gilead [region] and the mountains in Lebanon. But I will cause this palace to become a desert, a place that no one lives in.
7 Na da amo wadela: lesimusa: , dunu asunasili, ilia da goahei gaguli misini, ea noga: idafa dolo golasu ifa damuni, laluga ha: digimu.
I will summon enemy troops who will destroy this palace; each of their soldiers will use his own tools [to wreck the building]. They will cut into pieces the beautiful big cedar [beams] and throw them into a fire.”
8 Fa: no, ga fi dunu bagohame da amo baligimusa: ahoasea, amane sia: dalumu, ‘Hina Gode da abuliba: le amo moilai bai bagade noga: idafa wadela: lesibala: ?’
People from many nations will walk past [the ruins of] this city and say to each other, “Why did Yahweh destroy this city that was [very] great?”
9 Amasea, ilisu da bu adole imunu, ‘Bai Yuda dunu da ilia Gode Ea Gousa: su yolesili, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodoi amola hawa: hamoi.’”
And [other] people will reply, “[He did it] because his people stopped obeying the agreement that they had made with Yahweh their God. Instead, they worshiped [DOU] other gods.”
10 Yuda fi dunu! Hina bagade Yousaia ea hou dawa: beba: le mae dima! E bogobeba: le, mae da: i dioma! Be ea mano Youaha: se, amo dawa: beba: le, bagadewane didigia: ma. Bai ha lai dunu da e afugili oule ahoa. Amola ea soge amogawi e da lalelegei, amo e da bu hamedafa ba: mu.
[Yahweh also says, ] “Do not mourn for King [Josiah]; do not cry because he has died. Instead, mourn for [King Jehoahaz, his son], [because] he will be captured and taken to another country, and he will never return to see his own country, [Judah], again.”
11 Hina Gode da Yousaia ea mano Youaha: se (e da ea ada Yousaia, Yuda hina bagade amo ea sogebi lai) ea hou olelema: ne, amane sia: sa, “E da guiguda: yolesili, bu hamedafa buhagimusa: , asi dagoi.
Jehoahaz became king after his father, King Josiah, [died], but Jehoahaz indeed was captured and taken [to Babylonia]. And this is what Yahweh says about him: “He also will never return [to Judah].
12 Ea ha lai da e ga sogega afugili asi. E da amo sogega bogomu. Amola e da Yuda soge bu hamedafa ba: mu.”
He will die in that far-away country and will never see his own country again.”
13 Nowa dunu da moloi hou hame hamoiba: le, liligi bagade lasea, e da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Nowa da ea fi dunuma hawa: hamomusa: sia: sea, be ilima bidi hame iaha, amo da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
[And Yahweh said to me], “Terrible things will happen to [King Jehoahaz’s brother, King Jehoiakim]. He unjustly [forced men to] build his palace. The rooms on the upper level were built [by men who were forced] unjustly [to do that work]; he forced his neighbors to work for nothing; he did not pay them anything.
14 Nowa dunu da amane sia: sa, “Na da diasu noga: iwane gagumu. Amo ganodini, fa: gu da: iya heda: le, gadodili sesei bagade na da gagumu.” Amasea, e da ea diasuga fo misa: ne agenesi hamosa amola dolo ifa amoga dobea fesa amola yoi ulasu amoga unasisa. Agoai dunu da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
He said, ‘I will [force my workers to] build a huge beautiful palace with very large rooms and [many] windows. They will cover the walls with [fragrant] cedar panels/timber and paint them bright red.’”
15 Di da diasu noga: idafa eno dunu ilia diasu baligisa amo dolo ifaga hamoiba: le, amo da dia hina bagade ouligisu hou baligili noga: iwane hahamoma: bela: ? Hame mabu! Dia ada da hahawane esalu. E da eso huluane moloidafa fawane hamosu. Amaiba: le, hou huluane e hamoi da hahawane heda: i.
But it is certainly not [RHQ] having a beautiful cedar palace that causes a king to be great! Jehoiakim’s father, Josiah, also had [RHQ] plenty of things to eat and drink. But Josiah always did things that are right and just, and that is why God blessed him.
16 E da hame gagui dunu ilima moloiwane fofada: i, amola hou huluane da hahawane ba: i. Agoaiwane hou hamobeba: le, amo dunu da Hina Gode dawa: , amo olelesa.
Josiah acted justly/fairly and helped poor and needy people, so things went well for him. Yahweh says, “That is [RHQ] the way a person should behave who knows me.
17 Be di da disu liligi amola hou fawane dawa: sa. Amola di da wadela: i hame hamosu dunu medole legesa amola gasa fili, dia fi dunu banenesisa. Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
But [Jehoiakim], you [MTY] are greedy and desire only to obtain things by acting dishonestly. You murder [MTY] innocent people, you oppress poor people, and you treat people cruelly and violently.”
18 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Yuda hina bagade Yihoiagimi (Yousaia egefe) amo ea hou olelema: ne amane sia: sa, ‘E da bogosea, dunu afae da da: i dione hame dimu. Ilia da ‘Sama! Amo da da: i dioi bagade liligi. Na hina! Na hina bagade!’ dinanawane amane hamedafa sia: mu.’
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim, the son of King Josiah: “[When he dies], people will not mourn for him. They will not say to each other, ‘It is very sad; we are so sorry!’ The people whom he ruled will not mourn for him, saying, ‘We are sad that our king is dead; we are so sorry that the wonderful things [that happened while he was king are ended].’
19 Ilia da Yihoiagimi ea da: i hodo hame uli dogomu. Be ohe dougi bogoi amoma dawa: su defele, ilia da ea da: i hodo hiougili, Yelusaleme ea logo holeiga gadili, isu salasuga galagamu.”
[When he dies, people will do to] his corpse what they do to a dead donkey; his [corpse] will be dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
20 Yelusaleme fi dunu! Dilia Lebanone sogega asili, wele sia: ma! Ba: isa: ne sogega asili, dima! Moua: be goumiga asili, wele sia: ma mabu! Bai dilia fidisu dunu huluane da hasali dagoi ba: sa.
[You people of Judah], go to [the mountains in] Lebanon and weep, shout in the [mountains of the] Bashan [region], cry out in [the mountains of] Moab, because all your friends [in those areas] have been destroyed.
21 Dilia da hahawane bagade gaguiwane esaloba, Hina Gode da dilima sia: i dagoi. Be dilia da Ea sia: hame nabi. Dilia da eso huluane esaloba, agoaiwane hamosu. Dilia da Hina Gode Ea sia: nabimu hame dawa: i galu.
When you were prosperous, I warned you, but you replied, ‘We will not pay attention [to what you say].’ You have been acting like that since you were young; you have never obeyed me.
22 Dilia ouligisu dunu da foga gaguli asi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia ha lai dunu da dilimagale gegesu fidisu dunu amo udigili hawa: hamoma: ne, afugili oule masunu. Dilia wadela: le baligili hamoiba: le, dilia moilai bai bagade da gogosia: i dagoi ba: mu.
[So, now I will punish] all your leaders; [it will be as though] they have been blown away by the wind. They will be captured [by your enemies] and taken to another country. When that happens, you will [truly] be ashamed and disgraced because of all the wicked things [that you have done].
23 Dilia da Lebanone sogega, dolo ifa bagohame lai, amola amoga gagui diasu ganodini dilia da waha olofoiwane esala. Be se nabasu da uda mano lalelegemu se nabasu defele, amo da dilima doaga: sea, dilia da da: i dione se nabawane ba: mu.
[Now, your king] enjoys living in the cedar rooms in his palace, but [soon] he will be punished, and then he will groan like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.”
24 Hina Gode da hina bagade Yehoiagini (Yuda hina bagade Yihoiagimi egefe) ema amane sia: i, “Na da Gode Esala. Na da Na lobodafa lobo sogo gasisalasu amoga asigi gala, amo defele dima asigi ganiaba, Na da di fadegale fasila: loba.
Yahweh says this: “Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, as surely as I am alive, [I will punish you]. Even if you were the ring on my finger that shows that I am the king, I would pull you off.
25 Amola Na da di amo dunu fi (amo di da iliba: le beda: i - bai ilia di medole legemusa: dawa: lala) ilima ia: noba. Na da di Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola ea dadi gagui dunu ilima imunu.
You are afraid of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his huge army, [because] they are wanting to kill you. I will enable them to capture you.
26 Na da gasa fili, di amola dia ame mugululi masa: ne asunasimu. Alia da soge amoga alia hame lalelegei, amoga asili, bogomu.
I will expel you and your mother [from this land], and you will be taken to another country. Neither of you was born there, but you will both die there.
27 Alia da Yuda soge bu ba: musa: bagade hanamu, be alia da amoga hamedafa buhagimu.”
You will never return to this land that you will very much desire to return to.”
28 Na (Yelemaia) da amane sia: i, “Hina bagade Yehoiagini da ganagu goudai amo dunu ilia da gagui dialumu higa: iba: le ha: digi dagoi, agoaiwane hamobela: ? E da agoane hamoiba: le, Di da e amola ea mano amo soge ilia hamedafa dawa: amoga asunasima: bela: ?”
[Someone said, ] “Jehoiachin will be [RHQ] like a broken pot that is despised and which no one wants. He and his children will be (exiled/forced to go) to a foreign land.
29 Soge! Soge! Soge! Hina Gode Ea sia: i liligi huluane nabima!
[I want] the people in this land to listen carefully to this message from Yahweh.”
30 “Na da amo dunuma fofada: i dagoiba: le, e da ea mano huluane fisimu. E da fa: no hahawane amola bagade gagui hou hame ba: mu amola didili hame hamomu. Egaga fi da Da: ibidi ea baligiga Yuda soge ouligisu hou hamedafa ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
This is what Yahweh says: “[In the record about the kings of Judah, ] write down that [it will be as though] this man [Jehoiachin] had no children, and that he has not been successful during his life, because none of his children/descendants will [ever] become king to rule over [the people of] Judah.”
