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 that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive 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, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed 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). It said:
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,
The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 ‘Dilia diasu gaguli, hahawane fima. Ifabi bugili, ha: i manu faili manu.
“Build houses and dwell in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
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 father sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters. Multiply there, and don’t be diminished.
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.
Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray 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 the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel says: “Don’t let your prophets who are amongst you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamt.
9 Ilia da Na Dioba: le, dilima ogogosa. Na da amo dunu hamedafa asunasi. Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da sia: i dagoi.’
For they prophesy falsely to you 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 the LORD says, “After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word towards you, in causing you to return 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 know the thoughts that I think towards you,” says the LORD, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
12 Amasea, dilia da Nama wele sia: mu. Dilia da Nama sia: ne gadomu, amola Na da dilima bu adole imunu.
You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen 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.
You shall seek me and find me, when you search for 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 found by you,” says the LORD, “and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you,” says the LORD. “I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.”
15 Dilia da sia: sa, Hina Gode da Ba: bilone soge ganodini balofede dunu dilima iaha.
Because you have said, “The LORD has raised us up 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,
the LORD says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who haven’t gone with you into captivity,
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.
the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that can’t be eaten, 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 pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth amongst all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach amongst all the nations where I have driven 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 listened to my words,” says the LORD, “with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear,” says the LORD.
20 Dilia dunu huluane Na da Ba: bilone sogega mugululi masa: ne asunasi! Na, Hina Gode, Na sia: nabima!’
Hear therefore the LORD’s word, all you captives whom I have sent away 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.
The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them 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.’
A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’
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 foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am 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,
Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
“The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, 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 the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the LORD’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
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.
Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself 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.”
because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
29 Sefanaia da nama amo meloa idili i.
Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
“Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘The LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,”
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.’”
therefore the LORD says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell amongst this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says the LORD, “because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD.”’”
