Yelemaia 31
1 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da misunu amoga Na da Isala: ili fi huluane ilima ilia Godedafa ba: mu, amola ilia huluane da Na fi dunu ba: mu.
Yahweh says that at that time, he will be the God [who is worshiped by] all the clans in Israel, and they will be his people.
2 Hafoga: i soge ganodini, Na da dunu amo da hame bogoi esalu, ilima Na asigi hou olelei. Isala: ili dunu da helebeba: le, helefimu hanai gala: loba,
This is what Yahweh says: “Those [people] who remained alive and were not killed by [their enemies’] swords were blessed [by me even] in the desert; I enabled them to have peace.
3 Na da sedaga esalu, amoga ili ba: ma: ne misi. Isala: ili dunu! Na da eso huluane mae yolesili, dilima asigi galu. Amola Na da wali mae yolesili, Na eso huluane dialoma: ne asigi hou dilima olelelalumu.
Long ago [I, ] Yahweh, said to [your ancestors, ] the Israeli people, ‘I have loved you and I will continue to love you forever. By faithfully loving you, I have brought you close to myself.’
4 Na da bu eno dili gagumu. Dilia da gesami liligi bu gaguia gadole, hahawane gosa: ma.
And [now I tell you], my Israeli people whom I love [MET], that I will cause you to be a nation again. You will [joyfully] dance as you play your tambourines.
5 Dilia da bu Samelia agolo amo da: iya waini efe sagamu, amola bugi dunu da amo sagai ea fage manu.
Again you will plant your vineyards on the hills of Samaria, and you will eat the grapes [that grow there].
6 Dafawane, eso da doaga: mu amoga sosodo aligisu dunu da Ifala: ime agologa amane wele sia: mu, ‘Ninia da Saione amoga masunu. Hadiga! Ninia Hina Godema heda: la: di.’”
There will be a time when watchmen will call out from the hills of Samaria [MTY], ‘Come, let’s go up to Jerusalem to [worship] Yahweh, our God!'”
7 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili ea houba: le, hahawane gesami hea: ma. Isala: ili da fifi asi gala huluane baligisa. Dilia nodone gesami amane hea: ma! ‘Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu gaga: i dagoi. Huluane hame bogoi esala, E da gaga: i dagoi!’
And now Yahweh also says this: “Sing joyfully about [what I have done for] the people of Israel! Shout about [your nation, ] the greatest nation! Shout joyfully, praising me and saying, ‘Yahweh, rescue your people, the ones who are still alive!’
8 Na da ili gagoe (north) amola osobo bagade bega: bega: amoga lale, oule misunu. Si dofoi, emo gasuga: igi, abula agui uda amola uda da mano lalelegemu gadenesa, amo huluane da ili sigi misunu. Ilia da fi bagadedafa agoane buhagimu.
Do that [because] I will bring them back from the northeast, from the most distant places on the earth. Among them will be blind people and lame people, women who are pregnant and women who are (having labor pains/about to give birth to babies). They will be a huge group of people!
9 Na fi dunu da dinanawane amola sia: ne gadolalawane bu misunu amola Na da ili bisimu. Na da hano noga: i amoga ili oule masunu. Na da ili mae dafama: ne, logo noga: idafa amoga ili asula masunu. Na da Isala: ili fi ilima Ada agoane esala, amola Na magobo mano da Ifala: ime.”
They will be crying as they return, and they will be praying [to me]. I will guide them along streams of water, on level paths where they will not stumble. [I will do this] because I am [like] a father to the Israeli people; [it is as though] Israel is my oldest son.”
10 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Fifi asi gala huluane! Na sia: nabima! Amola Na sia: amo soge baligili sedaga amoga olelema. Na da Na fi afagogoi, be Na da ili bu gagadole, sibi ouligisu da ea sibi sosodo ouligisu defele, ili sosodo ouligimu.
Yahweh says, “[You people in the] nations of the world, listen to this message from me. Then proclaim it to [people who live along] the coasts far away. I scattered my people, but I will gather them [again] and will take care of them like [SIM] a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
11 Na da fedege agoane, Isala: ili ea se iasu logo doasi dagoi. Amola gasa bagade fi da Na fi wadela: musa: dawa: i, be Na da Na fi dunu gaga: i.
I will buy [my] Israeli people back from those who [conquered them because] they were more powerful [than my people].
12 Ilia da misini, hahawaneba: le, Saione Goumia gesami hea: mu. Na da hahawane iasu ilima imunu, amo gagoma, waini hano, olife susuligi, sibi amola bulamagau. Ilia da Na iabe hahawane ba: mu. Ilia da ifabi amoga gibu defele daha, amaiwane ba: mu. Ilia hanai defele, ilia da lai dagoi ba: mu.
My people will return [to Jerusalem] and shout joyfully on the slopes of Zion Hill. They will rejoice about the things that I have abundantly given to them— grain and new wine and [olive] oil and young sheep and cattle. They themselves will be like a well-watered garden, and they will no longer be sad.
13 Amasea, uda mano da hahawane gosa: mu. Amola dunu, ayeligi amola da: i hamoi da hahawane bagade dawa: mu. Na da ilia dogo denesimu amola ilia da: i dioi afadenene, bu hahawane hou hamomu.
The young women will dance joyfully, and [all] the men, young ones and old ones, will join with them. I will cause them to rejoice instead of mourning; I will comfort them and cause them to be happy instead of being sad.
14 Na da ilia gobele salasu dunu amo sadima: ne, ilima ha: i manu baligili noga: i imunu. Amola Na fi dunu ilia hanai liligi amo ilima imunu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
The priests will have plenty of things to eat and drink, and [all] my people will be filled with the good things that I give them. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
15 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “La: ima moilaiga ilia didigia: be sia: naba. La: ima fi da ilia mano huluane fisili asi dagoiba: le, dinana. Ilima dogo denesimu da hamedei.
Yahweh [also] says this: “Women were weeping in Ramah [town on the border between Israel and Judah]; they were mourning and crying very loudly. [The women who were the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, the two grandsons of] Rachel [the wife of Jacob], were weeping about their children, and no one could comfort them because their children were [all] dead.
16 Disu yolesima! Dilia si hano doga: ma! Dilia da dilia mano fidima: ne, gasa bagade hamoi. Amoga, dilia da bidi lamu. Ilia da dilia ha lai sogega mugululi asi. Be ilia da buhagimu.
[But now] this is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘Do not cry [any more], because I will reward you [for the good things you have done for your children]. Your children will return from the land where their enemies [have taken them].
17 Dilia da hobea hahawane ba: mu. Dilia mano da dilima bu misunu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
[I], Yahweh, am telling you that there are things that you can confidently expect [me to do for you] in the future. Your children will return to their own land.’
18 Na da Isala: ili dunu ilia sia: naba. Ilia da da: i dioiba: le amane sia: sa, ‘Hina Gode! Ninia da hame fofoi sigua ohe agoai gala. Be Di da Dia sia: nabima: ne ninima olelei dagoi. Nini buhagima: ne oule misa! Dia da ninia Hina Godedafa! Ninia Dima sinidigima: ne momagei dagoi.
I have heard [the people of] Israel grieving very much [and saying to me], ‘You punished us severely, like [SIM] calves are beaten [by their owners to train them for pulling a plow]. [So] bring us back [to obey/worship you again], because we are ready to return to you, because you [alone] are Yahweh, our God.
19 Ninia da Di yolesi be fonobahadi ouesalu, Dima bu sinidigima: ne hanai galu. Di da ninima se iabeba: le, ninia da da: i dioiba: le, dialuma fili sa: i. Ninia da gogosia: i dagoi, Bai ninia goihadini esogainini wadela: le hamoi dagoi.’”
We turned away [from you], but we repented; [after you] caused us to realize [that we were guilty]. We beat our chests to show that we were very ashamed [DOU] of the sins that we committed when we were young.’
20 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili! Di da Na dogolegei mano! Di da Na mano amola Na da dima baligili asigisa! Na da dia dio sia: sea, dima asigiwane dawa: lala. Di da Na dogolegei mano. Na da di se mae nabima: ne, asigimu.
But [I], Yahweh, say this: The Israeli people certainly are [RHQ] still my dear children [DOU]. It is often necessary for me to threaten [to punish] them, but I still love them. That is why I have not forgotten them, and I will certainly act mercifully toward them.
21 Dawa: digisu alalo hahamone, buhagimu logo olelema! Dia asi logo amoga buhagima! Isala: ili fi dunu! Bu misa! Moilai amo dilia yolesi, amoga buhagima!
[You Israeli people, ] set up road signs; put up posts [along the roads] to mark the road on which you walked [when you were taken from Jerusalem]. My precious/beloved Israeli people, come back to your towns here.
22 Dilia hame nabasu dunu! Dilia da habowali seda logo aduna amoga masunusa: dadawa: ma: bela: ? Na da hou gaheabolo amola hisu hahamoi dagoi. Uda da dunu gaga: mu - amo da osobo bagade hou hisu agoane. Amo defele, Na da hou hisu hahamoi dagoi.”
You people who have been like [MET] daughters who have forsaken their parents, how long will you continue to wander [away from me] [RHQ]? I, Yahweh, will cause something to happen on the earth that (is new/has not happened before): The women of Israel will be protecting their husbands as they travel [back here]!”
23 Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da amane sia: sa, “Na da Na fi dunu ilia sogedafa amoga bu oule masea, ilia Yuda soge amola ea moilai huluane amo ganodini bu amane sia: mu, ‘Hina Gode da Yelusaleme sema agolo amoma hahawane hamomu da defea. E da amo hadigi sogebi amo ganodini esala.’
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says: “When I bring them back from the countries to which they have been exiled, all the people from the towns in Judah will again say, [‘I hope that] Yahweh will bless this my home, the holy place where righteous [people will live]!’
24 Dunu fi da Yuda soge amola ea moilai huluane ganodini esalebe ba: mu. Amola amo ganodini, ifabi ouligisu dunu amola sibi ouligisu dunu amola ilia sibi wa: i da esalebe ba: mu.
[The people of] Judah [who live in] the towns, including the farmers and the shepherds, will all live together [peacefully].
25 Na da helei nabi dunu amo nasegagimu amola dunu ha: iba: le gasa hame, amo sadima: ne, ha: i manu imunu.
I will enable weary people to rest, and enable people who are very exhausted to become strong again.”
26 Amasea, dunu da amane sia: mu, ‘Na da golale, nedigili, da: i hagi ba: i.’
I, [Jeremiah], woke up [after dreaming all those things], and I looked [around]. I had slept [very] delightfully!
27 Na, Hina Gode, da amane sia: sa, ‘Eso da misunu, amoga Na da Isala: ili soge amola Yuda soge amo dunu amola ohe amoga nabamu.
[Then] Yahweh said [to me], “There will be a time when I will greatly increase [MET] the number of people and the number of livestock here in Israel and Judah.
28 Amola musa: Na da dawa: iwane fadegale fasi amola wadela: lesi, amola mugului, amo defele Na da dawa: iwane bugimu amola hiougimu.
[Previously], I caused [their enemies to] remove the people from their land and to destroy their land and to cause them to experience many disasters [DOU]. But in the future, I will enable them to build houses and to plant crops [here in Israel again]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
29 Amo eso doaga: sea, dunu da bu hame sia: mu, ‘Ada amola ame da gamogai waini fage mai - be ilia mano fawane da gamogai nabi.’
[Previously the people often said, ] ‘The parents have eaten sour grapes, but it is the children’s teeth that ache.’ [They meant that it was not fair for them to be punished for their ancestors’ sins]. But [when I bring them back to their land], they will no longer say that.
30 Be nowa da gamogai waini fage nasea, hisu da gamogai nabimu. Amola dunu da hi wadela: i hou hamoiba: le fawane bogomu.”
But now all people will die because of the sins that they themselves have committed.
31 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da misunu, amoga Na da gaheabolo Gousa: su Amo sia: ea bai da Hibulu sia: ganodini molole hame ba: sa. amo Isala: ili dunu amola Yuda dunu ilima hamomu.
[I], Yahweh, say this: ‘There will be a time when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
32 Musa: Na da ilia aowalalia ilia lobolele, Idibidi soge yolesimusa: gadili oule asili, ilima Gousa: su hamoi. Be gaheabolo Gousa: su da musa: hamoi defele hame ba: mu. Na da ilima egoa agoane hamoi, be ilia da amo Gousa: su sema nabawane hame hamosu.
[This new agreement will] not be like the agreement that I made with their ancestors when I took them by their hands and led them out of Egypt. They broke that agreement, even though I [loved them like] [MET] husbands love their wives.’
33 Gaheabolo Gousa: su amo Na da Na Isala: ili fi ilima hamomu da agoane ba: mu. Na da Na sema ilia da: i hodo ganodini salimu, amola Na sema ilia dogo da: iya dedemu. Na da ilia Gode esalumu, amola ilia da Na fi dunu esalumu.
This is what I, Yahweh, say: ‘This is the new agreement that I will make with the people of Israel some day: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their inner beings. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 Ilia da afae afae ilia fi dunu eno ilima Godema dawa: su hou bu hame olelemu. Bai ilia huluane, dunu bagade amola fonobahadi, huluanedafa da Na dawa: mu. Na da ilia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofomu, amola Na da ilia wadela: i hou bu hamedafa dawa: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
And it will not be [necessary] for them to teach their neighbors or their relatives and say, “[You need to] know Yahweh,” because everyone, including unimportant people and very important people, will [already] know me. And I will forgive them for having been very wicked, and I will never think again about the sins that they have committed.’”
35 Hina Gode da haga ninia hadigi ba: ma: ne, eso iaha. Amola gasi ganodini E da oubi amola gasumuni iaha. E da hano wayabo bagade guma: ne, bibiogosa. Ea dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.
Yahweh is the one who causes the sun to give light during the day, and who causes the moon and the stars to give light during the night. He stirs up the seas, with the result that waves roar. His name is the Commander of the armies of angels, and this is what he says:
36 Amo osobo bagade hou da dialebe ba: sea, Isala: ili fidafa agoane dialebe ba: mu. Bai Hina Gode da agoane ilegei dagoiba: le.
“I will not reject my Israeli people any more than I will get rid of the laws [that control the universe].
37 Osobo bagade dunu da mu amola osobo bagade bai, amo ilia ba: de amola sedade defei dawa: mu da hamedei. Amo defele, Hina Gode da Ea fi Isala: ili amo ilia hou hamobeba: le higale yolesimu da hamedei. Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
And this is what I say: ‘No one can measure the sky, and no one can find out what is supporting the earth. Similarly, I cannot reject forever the descendants of Jacob because of all the [evil] things that they have done.’ [That is certain, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
38 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da doaga: mu, amoga Yelusaleme da bu gaguli, Na moilai bai bagadedafa agoane bu ba: mu. Ilia bu hiougisia, moilai bai bagade da Hana: niele diasu gado gagagula heda: i amoga guma: asili, Sisigagala: i Logo Ga: su amoga doaga: mu.
[I], Yahweh, also say that there will be a time when [everything in] Jerusalem will be rebuilt for me, from the tower of Hananel [at the northeast corner, west] to [the gate named] the Corner Gate.
39 Amola bega: alalo da bu guma: asili, Ga: ilebe Agolo amo baligili, Goua: be sogebiga doaga: mu.
[Workers] will stretch a measuring line/string over Gareb Hill all the way [southwest] to Goah.
40 Fago sogebi huluanedafa, bogoi dunu uli dogosu sogebi amola isu salasu sogebi amola soge huluane Gidalone Hano gadodili amo gusudili asili Hosi Logo Holei amoga doaga: sa, amo huluane da Na sema soge dialebe ba: mu. Yelusaleme da eso huluane dialumu. Moilai bai bagade da ha lai amoga mugului amola wadela: lesi dagoi bu hamedafa ba: mu.”
And the whole area, including the place where corpses and ashes are thrown in the [Kidron] Valley, and all the fields to the east as far as the Horse Gate, will become set apart for me. And the city [of Jerusalem] will never again be captured or destroyed.”
