Yelemaia 32

1 Yuda hina bagade Sedegaia ea ouligibi ode nabuane amoga (amo ode da Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ea ouligibi ode 18), Hina Gode da nama sia: i.

After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.

2 Amo ode ganodini, Nebiuga: denese da Yelusalemema doagala: lebe ba: i. Na da hina bagade diasu gagoi amo ganodini udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane esalebe ba: i.

His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.

3 Yuda hina bagade Sedegaia da na amoga udigili hawa: hamoma: ne sia: i. Bai e da nama diwane udidili, na da Hina Gode Ea sia: i liligi ogogole olelei, e sia: i. Be Hina Gode da dafawane amane sia: i dagoi, “Na da Ba: bilone hina bagade amo moilai bai bagade doagala: le fefedema: ne, logo doasimu.

King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].

4 Amola hina bagade Sedegaia da hobeale masunu hamedei ba: mu. Ba: bilone hina bagade da e gagulaligimu. E da e odagi ba: mu amola ea odagia sia: mu.

And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.

5 Ba: bilone hina bagade da e afugili, Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana masunu. E da amogawi esalu, Na da ema dabe imunu. E da Ba: bilone fi ilima dabe gegesea, e da osa: la heda: mu hame dawa: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”

Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”

6 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

[At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

7 “Ha: namele, (dia aowa Sia: lame egefe) da dima misini, e da di ea soge A: nanode moilai bai bagade gadenene, Bediamini soge amo ganodini, amo dima bidi lama: ne sia: mu. Bai di da ea gadenene sosogo fidafa amola eno hame be di fawane bidi lamu da sema defele gala.”

“[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”

8 Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea sia: i defele, Ha: namele da Debolo gagoi amoga nama misini, na da ea soge bidi lama: ne sia: i. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da nama dafawane sia: i dagoi, na da dawa: i galu.

And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.

9 Na da Ha: namele amoga ea soge bidi lai. Na da muni ea dioi defei ba: lalu, amo ema i. Silifa ea idi da17 agoane ba: i.

[So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.

10 Na da soge bidi lamu meloa amoga na dio dedei amola amoga gobele legesu liligiga legei. Ba: su dunu da amo hou ba: i dagoi amola muni da dioi ba: su amoga ea dioi defei ba: i.

I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].

11 Amalalu, na da soge bidi lasu meloa amoga ba: le dedei aduna (afae da gobele legesuga ga: i, eno da hame ga: i) amo lale,

Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies

12 Belage (Nilaia egefe amola Masaia ea aowa) ema i. Na da Ha: namele amola ba: su dunu (amo da soge bidi lasu meloa amoga ilia dio dedei) amola dunu da gagoi ganodini fi dialu, amo huluane ba: ma: ne, na da Belagema i.

and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.

13 Na da ilia midadi lelu, Belagema amane sia: i,

[Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,

14 “Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da dilia amo soge bidi lasu meloa (meloa amo da gobele legesuga ga: i amola meloa eno hame ga: i) amo lale, ode bagohame dialoma: ne, laga osoboga hamoi ofodo amo ganodini salima: ne sia: sa.

“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.

15 Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da fa: no agoane, Isala: ili soge ganodini, dunu ilia da diasu amola soge amola waini efe sagai amo bidi lalebe ba: mu, amane sia: sa.”

[Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”

16 Na da soge bidi lasu meloa amo Belagema ia dagolalu, na da Godema sia: ne gadoi, amane,

After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:

17 “Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da osobo bagade amola mu amo Dia gasa bagade amoga hamoi. Dia hamomu hamedei liligi da hame gala.

“Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].

18 Di da dunu osea: i ilima Dia dogolegei hou olelelala. Be dunu eno ilima ilia ada amola ame da wadela: le hou hamobeba: le, Di da se iaha. Di da bagade amola gasa bagade gala. Di da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.

You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.

19 Di da noga: i bagade dawa: su ilegesu hamosa, amola gasa bagade hamonana. Osobo bagade fi dunu huluane ilia hamobe Dia da ba: lala. Amola, ilia hamoi defele, ilima dabe iaha.

You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.

20 Hemonega, Di da Idibidi sogega musa: hame ba: su gasa bagade dawa: digima: ne olelesu hou hamosu. Amola Di da wali amola, Isala: ili soge ganodini amola fifi asi gala huluane, ilia soge ganodini, amo gasa bagade hou hamonana. Amaiba: le, soge huluane amo ganodini, dunu da Dia hou dawa: digisa.

You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).

21 Dia da musa: hame ba: su gasa bagade hou hamobeba: le, ninia ha lai da bagade beda: i. Amola amo gasa bagade hou amoga Di da Dia fi Isala: ili dunu, amo Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, ga asunasi.

You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.

22 Di da ilia aowalali ilima ilegele sia: i defele, amo noga: i amola nasegagi soge ilima i.

You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].

23 Be ilia da amo sogega misini, lalegaguli, ilia da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i hame nabi amola Dia olelesu amo defele hame esalusu. Ilia da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i huluanedafa yolesi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Di da ilima se ima: ne amo gugunufinisisu ilima i.

Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.

24 Ba: bilone dadi gagui da Yelusaleme amoma doagala: sa amola amo sisiga: le, ilia da gegesu bi amo hamoi dagoi. Gegesu amola ha: bagade amola olosu da ilima doaga: beba: le, Yelusaleme da dafamu amola Ba: bilone dunu da hasalimu. Hina Gode! Di ba: ma! Dia sia: i liligi huluane da dafawane doaga: i dagoi.

And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.

25 Be Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Disu da amo soge, ba: su dunu ba: ma: ne bidi lama: ne, nama sia: i. Ba: bilone dunu da hasalili, Yelusaleme wahadafa lamu gala, be Di da amo soge bidi lama: ne nama sia: i.”

[And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”

26 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:

27 “Na da osobo bagade dunu fi ilima Hina Gode esala. Liligi Na hamomu hamedei da Nama hame gala.

“I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].

28 Na da amo moilai bai bagade Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola ea dadi gagui wa: i dunu ilima imunu. Ilia da amo lale,

So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.

29 laluga ulagimu. Ilia da amo moilai bai bagade, amola ea diasu huluane (amo ganodini, dunu da Na ougima: ne, diasu gadodili Ba: ielema nodomusa: gabusiga: manoma ulagisu amola eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodomusa: , waini hano sogadigi) amo huluane ilia nene dagoma: ne ulagimu.

The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.

30 Isala: ili fi da degabo fi hamoi amogainini wali amola, Isala: ili fi amola Yuda fi ilia da Na ougima: ne, hame nabasu hou hamosu.

The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.

31 Amola Yelusaleme fi da amo moilai bai bagade degabo gaguli, amogainini wali amola da Na ougima: ne wadela: le hamosu. Amaiba: le, Na da amo moilai bai bagade wadela: musa: ilegei dagoi.

From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.

32 Bai Yuda dunu, Yelusaleme dunu, ilia hina bagade, ouligisu dunu, ilia gobele salasu amola ilia balofede dunu huluane da wadela: le hamoi dagoi.

The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.

33 Ilia da Nama baligi fa: su. Na da ilima gebewane olelelalusu, be ilia da hamedafa nabasu, amola dawa: digimu hame dawa: i.

My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.

34 Ilia da hame nabasu hou baligili, Debolo diasu (amo da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: gagui) amo ganodini ilia wadela: idafa loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ligisiba: le, Na Debolo diasu da ledo agoane hamoi ba: sa.

They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).

35 Ilia da Hinome Fago amoga Ba: ielema oloda hamosu. Amogai ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ Moulege ema ilia egefe amola idiwi medole lelegele, gobele salasu hou hamosa. Na da amo hou ilia hamoma: ne da hamedafa sia: i. Ilia da amo hou hamomu amola Yuda dunu wadela: le hamoma: ne hamobe, amo Na asigi dawa: suga hamedafa dawa: iou.”

They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”

36 Hina Gode, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da nama amane sia: i, “Yelemaia! Dunu da amo gegesu amola ha: bagade amola olosu da ilima doaga: beba: le, Yelusaleme da dafane, Ba: bilone hina bagade ea lobo da: iya gagui dialebe ba: mu. Be nabima! Na da sia: eno galaiou!

“But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:

37 Na da bagade ougiba: le, amo fi dunu fifi asi gala eno huluane amo ganodini esaloma: ne afagogole sefasimu. Be fa: no, Na da amo dunu huluane bu gagadole, guiguda: bu oule misunu. Amasea, ilia da guiguda: olofole, gaga: iwane esalumu.

‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.

38 Amasea, ilia da Na fi dunu esalumu. Amola, Na da ilia Gode esalumu.

They will be my people, and I will be their God.

39 Amola Na hamobeba: le, ilia hamomu hanai liligi da afadafa fawane ba: mu. Ilia da ili amola iligaga fi hahawane esaloma: ne, Nama fawane nodoma: ne hanai ba: mu.

I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.

40 Na da eso huluane dialoma: ne Gousa: su gaheabolo ilima hamomu. Na da eso huluane mae yolesili, hou ida: iwane fawane ilima hamomu. Amola Na da ilia dogo huluane amoga ilia da Nama beda: iwane nodoma: ne, amola bu eno hamedafa baligi fa: ma: ne agoane hamomu.

I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.

41 Na da ilima hahawane hamonanebeba: le, Na amola da hahawane bagade ba: mu. Amola ilia da Isala: ili soge amo ganodini eso huluane esaloma: ne, Na da logo doasimu.

I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’

42 Na da ilima amo wadela: su huluane i dagoi. Amo defele, Na da liligi ida: iwane ilima ima: ne ilegei, amo huluane ilima imunu.

And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.

43 Wali amo fi dunu da ilia soge da hafoga: i wadela: i soge agoane ba: mu, amola amo ganodini dunu amola ohe da hame esalumu. Amola Ba: bilone dunu ilia fawane da amo soge gagumu. Be amo soge ganodini, dunu da bugili nasu sogebi amo bu bidi lalebe ba: mu.

[By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”

44 Dunu da amo bidi lale, bidi lasu meloa da dunuga dio dedei, amola gobele legesu amoga ga: i amola ba: su dunu ilia ba: i dagoi ba: mu. Amo hou da Bediamini ea soge, moilai fonobahadi amo da Yelusaleme sisiga: sa, Yuda moilai, agolo soge moilai, agolo fonobahadi soge moilai amola Yuda gagoe (south) soge moilai, amo huluane amo ganodini ba: mu. Na da dunu fi ilia sogedafa amoga bu oule misunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”

[But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
