Yelemaia 29
1 Na da gobele salasu dunu, balofede dunu, ouligisu dunu amola dunu huluane amo Nebiuga: denese da Yelusaleme amoga lale, afugili Ba: bilone sogega oule asi, ilima meloa dedene i.
Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the responsible men among those who had been taken away, and to the priests and the prophets and to all the rest of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon;
2 Musa: Yuda hina bagade Yehoiagini, ea: me, hina bagade diasu eagene ouligisu dunu amola bagade dawa: su hawa: hamosu dunu huluane da mugululi asi dagoi ba: i. Amogalu fa: no, na da meloa dedene i.
(After Jeconiah the king and the queen-mother and the unsexed servants and the rulers of Judah and Jerusalem and the expert workmen and the metal-workers had gone away from Jerusalem; )
3 Hina bagade Sedegaia da Elasa (Sia: ifa: ne egefe) amola Gemalaia (Hiligaia egefe) amo hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ilima asunasimusa: dawa: i. Na da na meloa dedene, elama i.
By the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah, king of Judah, sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, ) saying,
4 Na da agoane dedei, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da dunu huluane amo Nebiuga: denese da Yelusaleme amoga lale, Ba: bilone amoga afugili oule masa: ne, Hina Gode da logo doasi, ilima amane sia: sa,
This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said to all those whom I have taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 ‘Dilia diasu gaguli, hahawane fima. Ifabi bugili, ha: i manu faili manu.
Go on building houses and living in them, and planting gardens and using the fruit of them;
6 Uda lasu hou hamone, mano lama. Amola dilia mano da uda lamu amola mano lalelegema: mu. Dilia fi idi da mae fonobone, heda: mu da defea.
Take wives and have sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may have sons and daughters; and be increased in number there and do not become less.
7 Na da dili Ba: bilone moilai bai bagadega udigili hawa: hamoma: ne, logo fodoi. Amaiba: le, amo moilai bai bagade fidima: ne, dilia hawa: hamoma. Amo moilai bai bagade fi ilia da hahawane bagade gaguiwane dialoma: ne, Nama sia: ne gadoma. Bai ilia da bagade gaguiwane ba: sea, dilia amola da bagade gaguiwane ba: mu.
And be working for the peace of the land to which I have had you taken away prisoners, and make prayer to the Lord for it: for in its peace you will have peace.
8 Na, Hina Gode, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da dilima sisasu iaha. Balofede dunu dilia gilisili esala da hobea misunu hou dawa: be olelesa. Be ilia da ogogosa, amola dilima ogogosa: besa: le, ilia sia: mae nabima. Ilia simasia ba: i liligi mae dawa: ma.
For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Do not let yourselves be tricked by the prophets who are among you, and the readers of signs, and give no attention to their dreams which they may have;
9 Ilia da Na Dioba: le, dilima ogogosa. Na da amo dunu hamedafa asunasi. Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da sia: i dagoi.’
For they are saying to you what is false in my name: I have not sent them, says the Lord.
10 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Ba: bilone fi ilia dilima ouligibi ode70 da gidigisia, Na da dilima asigi hou bu olelemu. Na da dilia sogedafa amoga buhagima: ne oule misunu.
For this is what the Lord has said: When seventy years are ended for Babylon, I will have pity on you and give effect to my good purpose for you, causing you to come back to this place.
11 Na fawane da Na dilima imunu ilegei dawa: Amo ilegei da dilima wadela: su hame be hahawane hou fawane imunu. Amo ilegei da dilima hobea misunu hou, hahawane esaloma: beyale bagade hou amo dilia hanai liligi, amo dilima iasimu.
For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.
12 Amasea, dilia da Nama wele sia: mu. Dilia da Nama sia: ne gadomu, amola Na da dilima bu adole imunu.
And you will go on crying to me and making prayer to me, and I will give ear to you.
13 Dilia da Na hogoi helemu amola dilia da Na ba: mu. Bai dilia da dilia dogoga asigi dawa: su huluanedafa amoga Na hogoi helemu.
And you will be searching for me and I will be there, when you have gone after me with all your heart.
14 Dafawane! Dilia da Na ba: mu amola Na da dilia sogedafa amoga bu oule masunu. Na da soge huluane amola sogebi huluane amoga Na da musa: dili afagogoi, amoga Na da dili bu gagadole, dilia sogedafa (amoga Na da dili musa: mugululi masa: ne fadegai) amoga bu oule masunu. Na Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.’
I will be near you again, says the Lord, and your fate will be changed, and I will get you together from all the nations and from all the places where I had sent you away, says the Lord; and I will take you back again to the place from which I sent you away prisoners.
15 Dilia da sia: sa, Hina Gode da Ba: bilone soge ganodini balofede dunu dilima iaha.
For you have said, The Lord has given us prophets in Babylon.
16 Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima, ‘Na da hina bagade amo da Da: ibidi ea musa: ouligi soge amo ouligisa, amola dilia sosogo fi dunu amo da dili gilisili hame mugululi asi,
For this is what the Lord has said about the king who is seated on the seat of David's kingdom, and about all the people living in this town, your countrymen who have not gone out with you as prisoners;
17 amo dunuma Na da gegesu amola ha: amola olo ilima iasimu. Na da ili figi fage dasaiba: le, manu da hamedei, amo defele hamomu.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will send on them the sword and need of food and disease, and will make them like bad figs, which are of no use for food, they are so bad.
18 Na da gegesu amola ha: ga bogosu amola oloi bagade amoga ili sefasimu. Amola osobo bagade fifi asi gala da ili ba: beba: le, beda: iwane fofogadigimu. Na da soge hisu hisu amoga ili afagogomu. Amola amogai esalebe dunu da ili ba: beba: le, beda: iwane fofogadigimu. Ilia da ilima oufesega: mu, amola ilia dioba: le gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemu.
I will go after them, attacking them with the sword and with need of food and with disease, and will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and a wonder and a surprise and a name of shame among all the nations where I have sent them:
19 Ilia da Na sia: amo Na da balofede dunu ilia lafidili iasilalu amo hame nababeba: le, amo se nabasu da ilima doaga: mu. Ilia da nabimu higa: i galu.
Because they have not given ear to my words, says the Lord, when I sent to them my servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them; but you did not give ear, says the Lord.
20 Dilia dunu huluane Na da Ba: bilone sogega mugululi masa: ne asunasi! Na, Hina Gode, Na sia: nabima!’
And now, give ear to the word of the Lord, all you whom I have sent away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da A: iha: be (Goula: ia egefe) amola Sedegaia (Ma: iasia egefe) ela hou olelei dagoi. Ela da Ea Dioba: le, dilima ogogolala. Hina Gode da A: iha: be amola Sedegaia amo hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ea lobo da: iya amoma imunu. Amasea, Nebiuga: denese da dilia ba: ma: ne, amo dunu medole legemu.
This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are saying to you what is false in my name: See, I will give them up into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your eyes.
22 Hobea, Yelusaleme dunu da Ba: bilone sogega mugululi asi, amo ilia da gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemusa: dawa: sea, da agoane sia: mu, ‘Nebiuga: denese da Sedegaia amola A: iha: be ela esaleawane gobesili, ela da bogoi. Hina Gode da dima amo defele hamoma: ne, na da dima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegesa.’
And their fate will be used as a curse by all the prisoners of Judah who are in Babylon, who will say, May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, who were burned in the fire by the king of Babylon;
23 Amo hou da elama doaga: mu, bai ilia da wadela: ledafa hamobeba: le. Ela da inia uda adole lasu amola Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le ogogosu. Ela da Hina Gode Ea higa: i liligi hamoi. E da ela hamoi amo ba: i dagoi amola fofada: su amo ganodini, E da ba: su dunu esala. Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
Because they have done shame in Israel, and have taken their neighbours' wives, and in my name have said false words, which I did not give them orders to say; and I myself am the witness, says the Lord.
24 Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da nama na da Siema: ia (Nihelame dunu) ema sia: ma: ne sia: i. Bai Siema: ia da Yelusaleme fi dunu huluane amola gobele salasu dunu Sefanaia (Ma: iasia egefe) amola eno gobele salasu dunu huluane ilima meloa dedene i. Siema: ia da Sefanaiama amane dedene i,
About Shemaiah the Nehelamite.
Shemaiah the Nehelamite sent a letter in his name to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
26 “Hina Gode da di Yihoiada amo ea sogebi lama: ne gobele salasu hamoi. Amola wali di da bisili ouligisu dunu Debolo Diasuga gala. Dia hawa: hamosu da agoane gala. Nowa doulasi dunu hisu da balofede hi sia: sea, amo di sia: inega la: gili, ouli bulu agoane ea galogoa gasisalima.
The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, to be an overseer in the house of the Lord for every man who is off his head and is acting as a prophet, to put such men in prison and in chains.
27 Di da abuliba: le amo hou Yelemaia (A: nadode dunu) ema hame hamobela: ? Bai e da ogogole balofede ea dioba: le, ninia fi dunu ilima sia: dalu.
So why have you made no protest against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is acting as a prophet to you?
28 Ea logo hedofama! Bai e da dunu fi Ba: bilone sogega esala ilima ilia da ode bagohame amogawi udigili hawa: hamomuba: le, ilia da diasu gaguli, moi dogole, ha: i manu bugili, amola amo faili moma: ne sia: i.”
For he has sent to us in Babylon saying, The time will be long: go on building houses and living in them, and planting gardens and using the fruit of them.
29 Sefanaia da nama amo meloa idili i.
And Zephaniah the priest made clear to Jeremiah the prophet what was said in the letter, reading it to him.
30 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Send to all those who have been taken away, saying, This is what the Lord has said about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has been acting as a prophet to you, and I did not send him, and has made you put your faith in what is false;
32 “Dunu huluane Ba: bilone sogega mugululi asi, ilima Siema: ia ea hou olelema: ne, Na sia: adosima, amane, ‘Na, Hina Gode, da Siema: ia amola egaga fi huluane ilima se imunu. Na da e hamedafa asunasi. Be e da ogogole e da balofede dunu sia: i, amola dilima bagade ogogoi. Na da fa: no Na fi dunuma hahawane hamomu. Be e da amo hou mae ba: le, bogomu. Bai e da Na fi ilia Nama odoga: ma: ne olelei. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.’”
For this cause the Lord has said, Truly I will send punishment on Shemaiah and on his seed; not a man of his family will have a place among this people, and he will not see the good which I am going to do to my people, says the Lord: because he has said words against the Lord.
