Yelemaia 23

1 Hina Gode da ouligisu dunu amo da Ea fi dunu wadela: lesisa amola afagogobe, ilima ougi bagadedafa fofada: mu.

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture—this is Yahweh's declaration.”

2 Amo ouligisu dunu da Gode Ea fi dunu noga: le ouligimu da defea galu. Be Hina Gode, Isala: ili ilia Gode, da ilima amane sia: sa, “Dilia da Na fi dunu noga: le hame ouligi. Dilia da amo dunu afagogole, sefasi dagoi. Amaiba: le, dilia da amo wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Na da dilima se imunu.

Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this concerning the shepherds who are shepherding his people, “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away. You have not cared for them. So I am about to punish you for the evil you have done—this is Yahweh's declaration.

3 Na da Na fi dunu eno fifi asi gala ganodini esaloma: ne afagogoi. Be Na da amo fi dunu hame bogoi esalebe, amo bu gilisili, ilia sogedafa amoga bu oule misunu. Ilia mano bagohame da lalelegemu, amola ilia idi da bagade heda: mu.

I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all of the lands where I have driven them, and I will return them to a grazing place, where they will be fruitful and increase.

4 Na da ouligisu dunu ili noga: le ouligima: ne, amo ilegemu. Na fi dunu da beda: su bu hame ba: mu, amola Na da ilima se iasu eno hamedafa imunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”

Then I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them so they will no longer fear or be shattered. None of them will go missing—this is Yahweh's declaration.

5 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da misunu amoga Na da Hina Bagade hamoma: ne, Da: ibidi ea moloidafa egaga fi ifa Amoda agoane, Dunu afae amo ilegemu. Amo Hina Bagade da dawa: digili, soge huluane ganodini moloidafawane ouligimu.

See, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will raise up for David a righteous branch. He will reign as king; he will act wisely and cause justice and righteousness in the land.

6 E da Hina Bagade hamoi dagoiba: le, Yuda dunu da olofoiwane gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da Ema dio asulimu, amo ‘Hina Gode, ninia Moloidafa Gaga: su.’”

In his days Judah will be rescued, and Israel will live in security. Then this is the name by which he will be called: Yahweh is our righteousness.

7 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da misunu amoga ilia da Na, Fifi Ahoanusu Gode amo da ili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne gadili oule misi, amoga Na Dioba: le ilia sia: dafawane hame ilegemu.

Therefore see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when they will no longer say, 'As Yahweh lives, who brought the people of Israel up from the land of Egypt.'

8 Be amo bu mae dawa: le, ilia da Na da Fifi Ahoanusu Gode amo da gagoe (north) soge amola soge eno amoga Na da musa: ili afagogoi, amoga Na da ilia sogedafa amoga bu oule misi, amo dawa: le ilia da Na Dioba: le sia: dafawane ilegemu. Amasea, ilia da ilia sogedafa amo ganodini esalumu.”

Instead they will say, 'As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led back the descendants of the house of Israel from the northern land and all the lands where they had been driven.' Then they will live in their own land.”

9 Na dogo da goudai dagoi, amola na da bagadewane yagugusa. Bai Hina Gode da Ea hadigi sia: sia: i dagoi. Na da dunu amo da waini hano bagade maiba: le feloasu, agoaiwane ba: sa.

Regarding the prophets, my heart is broken in me, and all of my bones tremble. I have become like a drunk man, like a man whom wine has overpowered, because of Yahweh and his holy words.

10 Dunu huluane amo soge ganodini esala da Hina Gode yolesi dagoi. Ilia da wadela: i hou hamonana, amola gasa fili wadela: le hamosa. Hina Gode da soge amoga gagabui aligima: ne ilegeiba: le, soge da dinana agoane gala, amola bulamagau amola sibi ilia soge da hafoga: i dagoi.

For the land is full of adulterers. Because of these the land is dried up. The meadows in the wilderness dry up. These prophets' paths are wicked; their power is not used in a right manner.

11 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Balofede dunu amola gobele salasu dunu da Gode Ea hou hame dawa: Na ba: loba ilia da Debolo diasu ganodini wadela: le hamonanu.

“For both the prophets and the priests are polluted. I even found their wickedness in my house!—this is Yahweh's declaration—

12 Ilia logo da enemei amola gasi ganodini agoane ba: mu. Na da hamobeba: le, ilia da sadenane dafamu. Na da ilima wadela: su iasimu. Ilima se imunu eso da doaga: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.

therefore their way will be like a slippery place in the darkness. They will be pushed down. They will fall in it. For I will send disaster against them in the year of their punishment—this is Yahweh's declaration.

13 Na da Samelia balofede dunu ilia wadela: i hou amo ba: i dagoi. Ilia da Ba: iele ea dioba: le sia: i dagoi. Amola ilia da Na fi ilima bobogema: ne, wadela: i logo olelei dagoi.

For I have seen the prophets in Samaria doing what is repulsive: They prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray.

14 Be Yelusaleme bagade balofede dunu da amo baligimusa: wadela: i hou hamoi, amo Na da ba: i. Ilia da inia uda adole lasu amola ogogosu hamoi dagoi. Ilia da dunu eno wadela: le hamoma: ne bagade fidibiba: le, dunu huluane da wadela: le hamosu fisimusa: hame dawa: i. Na ba: loba, ilia huluane da Sodame amola Goumola dunu defele wadela: le hamonana.

Among the prophets in Jerusalem I have seen horrible things: They commit adultery and walk in deceit. They strengthen the hands of evildoers; no one turns back from his evildoing. All of them have become like Sodom to me and its inhabitants like Gomorrah!”

15 Amaiba: le, Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Yelusaleme balofede dunu ilima amane hamomu. Na da gamogai bugi liligi ili moma: ne ilima imunu. Amola Na da ilima medole legesu hano ilia moma: ne imunu. Bai ilia Godema hame fa: no bobogesu hou, amo Na soge huluane ganodini olelei dagoi.”

Therefore Yahweh of hosts says this concerning the prophets, “Look, I am about to make them eat wormwood and drink poisonous water, for pollution has gone out from the prophets of Jerusalem to all the land.”

16 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Balofede dunu ilia sia: mae nabima. Ilia da dilima hahawane hou da doaga: mu, ogogole olelesa. Ilia da ilisu asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: su liligi amo fawane olelesa, amola Na sia: i liligi hamedafa olelesa.

Yahweh of hosts says this, “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They have deluded you! They are announcing visions from their own minds, not from Yahweh's mouth.

17 Ilia da dunu (amo da Na sia: i liligi nabimu higa: i dunu) ilima ilia da hahawane fawane ba: mu, amo sia: daha. Amola ga: nasi hamoi gasa fi dunu, ilima ilia da wadela: su hame ba: mu olelelala.”

They are constantly saying to those who dishonor me, 'Yahweh declares there will be peace for you.' For everyone walking in the stubbornness of his own heart says, 'Disaster will not come upon you.'

18 Na (Yelemaia) da amane sia: i, “Amo balofede dunu afae da Hina Gode Ea wamolegei asigi dawa: su amo hamedafa dawa: i galu. Afae da Ea sia: amola Ea sia: i adole iasi amo hame nabi amola hame dawa: digi.

Yet who has stood in Yahweh's council meeting? Who sees and hears his word? Who pays attention to his word and listens?

19 Hina Gode Ea ougi da gibula bobodole isu mabe agoane misini, amola gasa bagade isu amo da wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia dialuma da: iya masunu.

See, there is a storm coming from Yahweh! His fury is going out, and a tempest is whirling about. It is whirling around the heads of the wicked.

20 Amo isu da mae dagole, maneawane, Hina Gode Ea hanai huluane hamoi dagoiba: le fawane yolesimu. Hobeadafa, Hina Gode Ea fi dunu da amo hou dawa: digimu.”

Yahweh's wrath will not return until it has carried out and brought into being his heart's intentions. In the final days, you will understand it.

21 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da amo balofede dunu hame asunasi. Be ilia da udigili asi. Na da ilima sia: adosima: ne hame sia: i, be ilia da Na Dioba: le udigili sia: i.

I did not send out these prophets. They just appeared. I did not proclaim anything to them, but they have still prophesied.

22 Ilia da Na wamolegei asigi dawa: su dawa: i ganiaba, ilia da Na sia: Na fi dunuma alofele imunu dawa: la: loba, amola Na fi dunu ilia wadela: i esalusu amola hawa: hamosu fisima: ne hamona: noba.

For if they had stood in my council meeting, they would have caused my people to hear my word; they would have caused them to turn from their wicked words and corrupt practices.

23 Na da Gode amo da sogebi huluanedafa amo ganodini esalebe dawa: Na da sogebi afadafa fawane amo ganodini hame esala.

Am I only a God nearby—this is Yahweh's declaration—and not also a God far away?

24 Dunu huluane da Na mae ba: ma: ne, wamoaligimu hamedei ba: sa. Na da mu amola osobo bagadega sogebi huluanedafa amo ganodini esala.

Can anyone hide in a secret place so I cannot see him?—this is Yahweh's declaration— and do I not fill the heavens and the earth?—this is Yahweh's declaration.

25 Amo balofede ilia sia: Na dawa: Ilia da Na Dioba: le, ogogole sia: sa, amola Na da ilia simasia ba: su amo ganodini ilima sia: sa, amo ogogole olelesa. Bai Na da ilima hamedafa sia: sa.

I have heard what the prophets have said, those who were prophesying deceit in my name. They said, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!'

26 Amo balofede dunu da Na fi dunuma ogogosu sia: ilisu hamosu olelesa, amo da habodane yolesima: bela: ?

How long will this go on, prophets who prophesy lies from their minds, and who prophesy from the deceit in their hearts?

27 Ilia da agoane dawa: Ilia da ilia simasia ba: i liligi amo Na fi dunu ilima olelesea, Na fi dunu da ilia edalia hou defele, Na gogolele, Ba: ielema fa: no bobogemu, agoane dawa:

They are planning on making my people forget my name with the dreams that they report, each one to his neighbor, just as their ancestors forgot my name in favor of Baal's name.

28 Balofede da simasia ba: sea, amo da simasia ba: su fawane e da sia: mu da defea. Be balofede dunu da Na sia: dafa nabasea, e da mae ogogole, moloiwane amo sia: alofele imunu da defea. Na sia: da widi ha: i manu noga: iwane gala. Be bioi gisi da noga: i hame.

The prophet who has a dream, let him report the dream. But the one to whom I have declared something, let him declare my word truthfully. What does straw have to do with grain?—this is Yahweh's declaration—

29 Na sia: da lalu agoane. Amola Na sia: da ‘ha: ma’ (hammer), amo da igi fofonobomusa: goudasa, agoai gala.

Is not my word like fire?—this is Yahweh's declaration—and like a hammer that shatters a rock into pieces?

30 Balofede mogili ilia da balofede eno ea udigili sia: dalebe amo lale, eno dunuma olelesea, amo udigili sia: da Na sia: dafa ilia ogogole olelesa. Na da amo ogogosu balofede dunu higasa.

So see, I am against the prophets—this is Yahweh's declaration—anyone who steals words from another person and says they come from me.

31 Amola balofede eno da hi sia: olelesea, amo da Na sia: dafa ogogole sia: sa. Na da amo balofede amola higasa.

See, I am against the prophets—this is Yahweh's declaration—who use their tongues to prophesy proclamations.

32 Nabima! Na, Hina Gode, da amane sia: sa! Na da balofede dunu amo da ilia ogogosu simasia ba: i liligi olelesa, amo higasa. Ilia da amo simasia ba: i olelebeba: le, amola ogogole amola hidale sia: beba: le, Na fi dunu da logo giadofale, dafasa. Na da ili hame asunasi amola olelela masa: ne hame sia: i. Amola ilia da Na fi dunu hamedafa fidisa. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”

See, I am against the prophets who dream deceitfully—this is Yahweh's declaration—and then proclaim them and in this way mislead my people with their deceit and boasting. I am against them, for I have not sent them out nor given them commands. So they will certainly not help this people—this is Yahweh's declaration.

33 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Yelemaia! Na fi dunu afae o balofede dunu o gobele salasu dunu, amo da dima amane adole ba: sea, ‘Hina Gode Ea sia: i da adi sia: bela: ?’ di ema bu amane adole ima, ‘Di da Hina Godema da: i dioi liligi bagade. E da di fadegamu!’

When these people, or a prophet, or a priest asks you, 'What is the burden of Yahweh?' you will say to them, 'You are the burden, and I will cast you off'—this is Yahweh's declaration.

34 Be Na fi dunu afae, o balofede o gobele salasu da sia: agoane, ‘Hina Gode Ea sia: da agoane’ amo fawane sia: sea, Na da e amola ea sosogo fi ilima se imunu.

As for the prophets, priests, and people who are saying, 'This is the burden of Yahweh' I will punish that man and his house.

35 Be amo mae dawa: le, dunu huluane afae afae da ea dogolegei amola na: iyado ilima amane adole ba: mu da defea, ‘Hina Gode da adi adole ibala: ? E da adi sia: bela: ?’ Bai ilia da Na sia: hame dawa:

You continue to say, each person to his neighbor and each man to his brother, 'What did Yahweh answer?' and 'What did Yahweh declare?'

36 Be dilia bu ‘Amo da Hina Gode Ea sia:’ bu sia: mu da sema bagade. Bai dilisu sia: da Gode Esala, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, amo Ea sia: dilia da giadofale sia: sea, dilia da Na sia: dafa bagadewane wadela: sa.

But you must no longer talk about the 'burden of Yahweh,' for the burden is every man's own word, and you have perverted the words of the living God, Yahweh of hosts, our God.

37 Yelemaia! Di balofede dunu ilima amane adole ba: ma, ‘Hina Gode da dima adi sia: bela: ? Dima adi adole ibala: ?’

This is what you will say to the prophet, 'What answer did Yahweh give you? or 'What did Yahweh say?'

38 Amasea, amo balofede dunu ilia da Na sia: mae nabawane, ‘Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.’ amane sia: sea, ilima amane olelema,

But if you say, 'The burden of Yahweh', this is what Yahweh says: 'Because you have said these words, 'The burden of Yahweh,' when I sent to you, saying, 'You will not say, “The burden of Yahweh,”'

39 ‘Na, Hina Gode, da dili gaguia gadole, dili amola dilia moilai bai bagade (amo Na da dili amola dilia aowalalia ilima i) amo fadegale fasimu.

therefore, behold, I am about to pick you up and throw you away from me, along with the city that I gave you and your ancestors.

40 Na da eso huluane dialoma: ne, gogosiasu dilima imunu. Dunu huluane da amo gogosiasu hamedafa gogolemu.’”

Then I will put everlasting shame and insult on you that will not be forgotten.'”
