Yelemaia 27
1 Sedegaia (Yousaia egefe) da Yuda fi hina bagade ouligibi hou lai. Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama,
Soon after Zedekiah became the King of Judah, Yahweh gave a message to me.
2 na da bulamagau gadofo amola ifa bulufalegele, liligi lale, “youge” hamone, na galogoa amoga gasisalima: ne sia: i.
This is what he said to me: “Make a (yoke/set of wooden bars to fasten around the neck of an ox), but fasten it around your own neck with leather straps.
3 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama na da sia: amo Idome, Moua: be, A:mone, Daia amola Saidone amo ilia hina bagade ilima sia: adosima: ne sia: i. Amo fi dunu ilia sia: alofele iasu dunu ilia da hina bagade Sedegaia amo gousa: musa: , Yelusalemega misi esalu.
[Then] send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon, by telling those messages to the ambassadors from those countries who have come to Jerusalem to [talk to] King Zedekiah.
4 Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da nama na da ilia hina bagade sia: agoane olelema: ne sia: i,
Tell them to give this message to their kings: This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship, ]:
5 “Dilia hina bagade huluane ilima amane olelema! Na gasa bagade amoga Na da osobo bagade amola dunu fi amola ohe fi huluane osobo bagadega esala, amo huluane hamoi. Amola Na da Na gasa amo Na hanaiga fawane, eno dunuma iaha.
‘With my very great power [MTY, DOU] I created the earth and the people and the animals that are on the earth. And I can give my power to anyone whom I want to.
6 Na da dilia soge huluane amo Na ilegei hawa: hamosu dunu Nebiuga: denesema imunu. Amola dunu huluane amola sigua ohe fi da ea hawa: hamosu hamomu.
And now I am going to enable King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who does what I want him to do, to control your countries. I am going to enable him to rule everything, even the wild animals.
7 Fifi asi gala huluane da ea udigili hawa: hamosu hamomu. Egefe amola e amola da amo fifi asi gala ouligilalu, amasea eso Na ilegei da doaga: sea, ea fi amola da dafamu. Amasea, eno gasa bagade fi amola gasa bagade hina bagade, ilia da ea fi ouligimu.
[The people of] all the nations will work for him, and [later] for his son, and [later] for his grandson, until the time for them [to rule] is finished. Then [the armies of] many great kings from many nations will conquer Babylon.’
8 Be nowa fifi asi gala o hina bagade ea fi da ea ouligibi higale, hame nabasea, Na da amo fi gegesu amola ha: amola olo amoga se imunu. Amasea, Na da logo doasimuba: le, Nebiuga: denese da amo fi wadela: lesimu fawane.
But now I tell you that you must [do what the king of Babylon wants you to do] [MET], [like an ox that has] a yoke on its neck [must do what its master wants it to do]. I will punish any nation that refuses to do that. I will cause those people to experience war and famine and diseases, until [the armies of] Babylon have conquered that nation.
9 Dilia balofede dunu o nowa da fa: no misunu hou dawa: , hi fawane sia: sa, (e da simasia ba: sa o bogoi a: silibu amoma sia: sa o wamuni dawa: su hou amo ganodini ba: sa amola ogogole sia: sa) amo huluane mae nabima. Ilia huluane da dilia Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: mae nabima: ne sia: sa.
So, do not pay attention to your [false] prophets and fortune-tellers and people who predict what will happen by working magic or by talking with spirits of dead people. Those people say that the king of Babylon will not conquer your country.
10 Ilia da dilima ogogosa. Ilia hamobeba: le, dilia da dilia soge yolesili, soge sedagaga mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu. Na da dili ga sefasimu, amola dilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
Those people are [all] liars. [If you believe what they say, ] it will result in your being exiled from your land. I will cause you to be taken from your land, and you will die far away.
11 Be nowa fi da Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: nabasea amola ea hawa: hamosea, Na da amo fi ilia sogedafaga esaloma: ne amola ha: i manu bugima: ne, logo doasimu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
But the people of any country who do what the King of Babylon wants them to do will remain in their own country and be able to plant their crops [MTY] [as they always have done. That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
12 Na da Yuda hina bagade Sedegaia ema defele sia: i, amane, “Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: nabawane hamoma! Dilia da ea amola ea fi dunu ilia hawa: hamosu hamosea, dilia da esalumu.
[After I gave that message to those ambassadors, ] I gave the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. [I said to him, ] “If you want to remain alive, do what the King of Babylon and his officials want you to do [MET].
13 Abuliba: le di amola dia fi dunu da gegesuga o ha: ga o oloiga bogoma: bela: ? Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi. Nowa fi da Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: hame nabasea da agoaiwane bogogia: mu.
[It would be foolish for you not to do that, because the result would be that] you and your people would die by [your enemies’] swords or by famine or diseases, which Yahweh will cause any nation to experience that refuses to allow the King of Babylon to rule them.
14 Balofede dunu da dima Ba: bilone hina bagade da mae hasalasima: ne gegema: ne sia: sa, amo mae nabima! Ilia da dilima ogogosa.
Do not pay attention to those prophets who say to you, ‘The King of Babylon will not conquer your country.’ They are liars.
15 Hina Gode Hisu da amo dunu ilia da Ea Dioba: le ogogosa, amo hamedafa asunasi sia: i. Amaiba: le, E da dili gadili sefasili, dili amola ogogosu balofede dunu da gilisili, medole legei dagoi ba: mu.”
[This is what] Yahweh says: ‘I have not appointed those prophets. They are saying that I [MTY] gave them messages, but they are lying. So, [if you believe them, ] I will expel you from this land. And you and all those prophets will die [in Babylon]!’”
16 Amalalu, na da gobele salasu amola balofede dunu ilima Hina Gode Ea sia: i liligi olelei, amane, “Ogogosu balofede dunu da Debolo liligi ida: iwane da hedolo Ba: bilone sogeganini bu Yelusaleme amoga gaguli misi dagoi ba: mu. Be ilia sia: mae nabima!
Then I spoke to the priests and the other people, and I said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Do not believe your prophets who tell you that all the gold items [that were taken] from my temple [by soldiers from Babylon] will soon be returned from Babylon, because what they are prophesying is a lie.
17 Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: nabawane hamoma. Amasea, dilia da esalumu. Yelusaleme da abuliba: le wadela: lesi isu gegedole liligisu agoane ba: ma: bela: ?
Do not pay attention to what they say. Surrender to the king of Babylon. If you do that, you will remain alive. [If you do not do that] [RHQ], this entire city will be destroyed.
18 Ilia da dafawane Na balofede dunu esala ganiaba, amola ilia da Na sia: lai dagoi ganiaba, ilia da Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, amoma Na da liligi ida: iwane gala Debolo diasu amola hina bagade diasu ganodini hame wamolai gala: loba, amo Ba: bilone dunu Ba: bilone sogega mae gaguli misa: ne logo hedofama: ne, Nama agoane adole ba: mu da defea.”
If they are really prophets who speak messages from me, tell them to plead to me, the Commander of the armies of angels, that [the soldiers from Babylon] will not be allowed to take away to Babylon the valuable items that [still] remain in the temple and in the king’s palace and in [the other palaces in] Jerusalem.
[I say this] because the [huge] pillars [that are in front of the temple] and the large water tank and the [ten water] carts and all the other items that are used [for offering sacrifices are still in this city].
20 (Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Yuda hina bagade Yehoiagini (Yihoiagimi egefe) amola Yuda amola Yelusaleme ouligisu dunu amo Ba: bilone sogega afugili oule asiba: le, e da liligi bagohame gaguli asi. Be e da balase duni bugi amola balase ofodo bagade amola balase hosiga hiougi ‘gaguli fula ahoasu’ amola eno Debolo liligi ida: iwane gala, hame gaguli asi).
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left those things here when he exiled Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, to Babylon, along with all the [other] leaders of Jerusalem and [the leaders of other places in] Judah.
21 “Na da Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode! Na sia: nabima! Liligi ida: iwane gala Debolo diasu amola Yelusaleme hina bagade ea diasu ganodini diala,
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say this about all those valuable things that are still outside the temple and in the palace of the king of Judah and in [other places in]:
22 amo huluane Ba: bilone hina bagade da Ba: bilone sogega gaguli masunu. Amogawi, ilia da dialumu. Amalalu, Na da amo bu dawa: sea, Na da amo liligi bu Yelusalemega dialoma: ne bu gaguli misunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
They will [all] be carried away to Babylon. And they will stay there until I say that they should be brought back to Jerusalem. Then they will be bought back here. [That is what I, ] Yahweh, say.’”
