Yelemaia 6
1 Bediamini fi dunu! Gaga: su ba: ma: ne hobeama! Yelusaleme yolesili, hobeama! Degoua moilai amo ganodini ‘dalabede’ fulaboma! Bede Ha: gileme amoga dawa: ma: ne hahamosu lalu didima! Wadela: su amola mugulusu da gagoe (north) manebe.
“O sons of Benjamin, be strengthened in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Tekoa, and lift up a banner over the house of Haccherem. For an evil has been seen from the north, with great destruction.
2 Saione moilai bai bagade da noga: idafa ba: sa, be amo da mugululi, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
I have compared the daughter of Zion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
3 Amogai, hina bagade ilia amola ilia dadi gagui dunu da ilia gegesu fisisu amo ganodini esalebe ba: mu. Ilia da ilia hanaiga, abula diasu amo moilaiga sisiga: le gagagumu.
The pastors will come to her with their flocks. They have pitched their tents against her all around. Each one will feed those who are under his hand.
4 Ilia da amane sia: mu, “Yelusaleme amoma doagala: musa: , momagema! Ninia da esomogoa doagala: mu! Be amasea, ilia da amane sia: mu, “Hamedei! Gasimu galebe! Baba da sedagawane ba: sa.
‘Sanctify a war against her! Rise up together, and let us ascend at midday.’ ‘Woe to us! For the day has declined; for the shadows of the evening have grown longer.’
5 Ninia da gasia doagala: mu. Ninia da Yelusaleme ea gagili sali diasu huluane wadela: lesimu.”
‘Rise up, and let us ascend in the night, and let us destroy her houses.’”
6 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amo hina bagade ilima amane sia: beba: le, ilia da ifa abalu mogomogosa heda: sa amola hamonana. Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Yelusaleme fi da baligili wadela: i banenesisu hou hamobeba: le, Na da ilima se imunu.
For thus says the Lord of hosts: “Cut down her trees, and build a rampart around Jerusalem. This is the city of visitation! Every kind of false claim is in her midst.
7 Si hano da eso huluane eno hano labeba: le, ea hano da gaheabolo agoane ba: sa, amo defele Yelusaleme fi da ilia wadela: i hou mae dagoma: ne, gaheabolo wadela: i hou hamonana. Na da bidi doaga: su amola wadela: su hou amo moilai ganodini naba. Oloi amola fafa: ginisi fawane Na da ba: sa.
Just as a cistern makes its water cold, so has she made her wickedness cold. Iniquity and devastation will be heard in her; sickness and wounds will be ever before me.
8 Yelusaleme fi dunu! Dilia amo gegesu amola bidi doaga: su da dilima sisasu gala amo ba: mu da defea. Dilia da hame sinidigisia, Na da dili yolesimu. Na hamobeba: le, dilia moilai da hafoga: i dunu hame esalebe soge agoane ba: mu.”
O Jerusalem, accept instruction, lest perhaps my soul may withdraw from you; lest perhaps I may set you in a desert, in an uninhabitable land.”
9 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da nama amane sia: i, “Dunu da waini efe bugi amoga fage huluane faisa, amo defele, Isala: ili ea fage huluane faili fasi dagoi ba: mu. Amaiba: le, dia gasa defele, dunu afae afae gaga: ma!”
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “They will gather the remnant of Israel, even as a single cluster of grapes is gathered from a vine. Direct your hand, as a grape-gatherer directs his hand to the basket.
10 Na da Ema bu adole i, “Be na da ilima sisane sia: sea, nowa da nabima: bela: ? Ilia hou da hihini ga: nasidafa. Ilia da Dia sia: nabimu higasa. Na da Dia sia: ilima alofele oleleloba, ilia da oufesega: su fawane.
To whom should I speak, and to whom should I testify, so as to be heard? Behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and so they are unable to hear. Behold, for them, the word of the Lord has become a disgrace. And so they will not accept it.
11 Hina Gode! Dia ilima ougi da lalu agoane nenana amola amo ougi da na dogo ganodini nenana. Na da amo ougi bu ha: ba: domu hamedei agoane ba: sa.” Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Mano fonobahadi logoga esalebe amola ayeligi ilia gilisisu, amoga Na ougi sogadigima. Ilia da egoa amola idua gagulaligili, huluane da mugului dagoi ba: mu. Amola da: i hamoi huluane da mugului dagoi ba: mu.
For this reason, I have been filled with the fury of the Lord. I labor to bear it. Let it be poured out upon the child outside, or upon a group of young men meeting together. For a man will be taken captive with a woman, an elder will be taken captive with one who is full of days.
12 Ilia diasu amola ilia soge amola ilia uda da eno dunu iligili i dagoi ba: mu. Na da Na soge fi dunu ilima se imunu.
And their houses will be given over to others, with both their lands and their wives. For I will extend my hand over the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord.
13 Dunu huluane, bagade amola fonobahadi, da ogogole muni lamusa: dawa: lala. Balofede dunu amola gobele salasu dunu da Na fi dunuma ogogosa.
Certainly, from the least of them even to the greatest, all of them practice greed. And from the prophet even to the priest, all of them act with deceit.
14 Na fi dunu ilia fa: ginisi bagade da hamedei liligi, ilia da dawa: sa. Ilia da amane sia: sa, hou huluane da defea. Be hou huluane da defea hame.
And they healed the destruction of the daughter of my people with disgrace, by saying: ‘Peace, peace.’ And there was no peace.
15 Ilia da amo baligili wadela: idafa hou hamobeba: le, gogosiabela: ? Hame mabu! Ilia da hame gogosia: i. Ilia da dialuma fili dasu hame dawa: Amaiba: le, eno dunu ilia dafai defele, ilia da dafamu. Na da ilima se iasea, ilia da wadela: lesili hamedafa ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
They were confounded, because they committed an abomination. Or rather, they were not confounded with shame, because they did not know how to blush. For this reason, they will fall among those who are being destroyed. In the time of their visitation, they will fall, says the Lord.”
16 Hina Gode da Ea fi dunuma amane sia: i, “Logo aduna da bulufalegesea, amoga leloma! Siba hemone logo hogoi helema. Noga: idafa logo da habila: , amo adole ba: ma! Amoga ahoasea, dilia da olofole esalumu.” Be ilia da amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Ninia da goga hame masunu.”
Thus says the Lord: “Stand above the ways, and see and ask, about the ancient paths, as to which is the good way, and then walk in it. And you will find refreshment for your souls. But they said: ‘We will not walk.’
17 Amalalu, Hina Gode da dalabede fulabosu nabima: ne, sosodo ouligisu dunu ilegei. Be ilia da amane sia: i, “Ninia da hame nabimu.”
And I appointed watchers over you, saying: ‘Listen for the sound of the trumpet.’ And they said: ‘We will not listen.’
18 Amaiba: le Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Dilia fifi asi gala! Nabima! Hou da Na fi ilima doaga: mu amo noga: le dawa: ma!
For this reason, hear, O Gentiles, and know, O congregation, how much I will do to them.
19 Osobo bagade, nabima! Ilia da Na olelesu higale yolesiagaiba: le, amola Na sia: hame nababeba: le, Na da ilima se ima: ne, amo fi wadela: lesimu.
Hear, O earth! Behold, I will lead evils over this people, as the fruits of their own thoughts. For they have not listened to my words, and they have cast aside my law.
20 Ilia da Siba sogega gabusiga: manoma Nama imunusa: gaguli maha, amola hedama: ne fodole nasu amo soge sedagaga gaguli maha. Be amo Na da hame dawa: digisa. Na da ilia iasu hame lamu, amola ilia gobele salasu liligi hahawane hame ba: mu.
For what reason are you bringing me frankincense from Sheba, and sweet smelling reeds from a far away land? Your holocausts are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
21 Amaiba: le amo dunu ilia emo udagaguli dafama: ne, Na da ilia logo hedofamu. Ada amola ilia egefe da gilisili bogomu. Amola sama amola na: iyado da gilisili bogomu.
Therefore, thus says the Lord: “Behold I will bring this people to utter ruin, and they will fall, with their fathers and sons; neighbor and relative will perish together.”
22 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa,” Ha lai dunu da gagoe (north) soge amoga manebe goea. Gasa bagade fi sedagaga esalebe da gegemusa: momagesa.
Thus says the Lord: “Behold, a people is coming from the land of the north, and a great nation will rise up from the ends of the earth.
23 Ilia da dadi amola gegesu gobihei sedade gagui dagoi. Ilia da asigi hou hame dawa: , nimi bagade gala. Ilia da hosi fila heda: sea, hano wayabo bagade gafului ea fugala: be agoane naba. Ilia da Yelusaleme amoma doagala: musa: momagei dagoi.”
They will take hold of arrow and shield. They are cruel, and they will not take pity. Their voice will roar like the ocean. And they will climb upon horses, for they have been prepared like men for battle, against you, O daughter of Zion.
24 Yelusaleme fi dunu da amane sia: sa, “Ninia da amo sia: nabi dagoi. Amola, ninia lobo da udigili sasane fi. Uda da mano lamu gadenesea se naba, amo defele ninia da da: i dioiba: le, se naba.
‘We have heard of their fame. Our hands have become weakened. Tribulation has overtaken us, like the pains of a woman giving birth.’
25 Ninia ha lai da dadi gaguiba: le amola nini da beda: iba: le, ninia da ga masunu o logoga masunu hame dawa:
Do not choose to go out into the fields, and you should not walk along the roadway. For the sword and the terror of the enemy is on every side.
26 Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu ilima amane sia: sa, “Wadela: i eboboi abula salima amola nasubu amo ganodini bebesoma. Dilia egefe afae da bogosea didigia: be defele didigia: ma. Bai dilia ha lai dunu da dili wadela: musa: hedolowane doagala: musa: doaga: mu galebe.
Wrap yourself in haircloth, O daughter of my people. And sprinkle yourself with ashes. Make a mourning for yourself, as for an only son, a bitter lamentation: ‘for the destroyer will overwhelm us suddenly.’
27 Yelemaia! Na fi dunu adoba: ma! Ilia hou dawa: ma: ne, dia da ouli amola balase adoba: su defele, ilia hou adoba: ma.
I have presented you as a strong tester among my people. And you will test and know their way.
28 Ilia huluane da ga: nasi odoga: su dunu. Ilia da ouli amola balase defele ga: nasidafa. Ilia hou da wadela: idafa. Ilia da udigili baligidu sia: dada ahoa.
All these leaders who are turning away and walking deceitfully, they are brass and iron; they have all been corrupted.
29 Lalu da ha: giwane nenana, be ouli amola balase amoga isu da hame daeana ahoa. Na da Na fi dunu amo bu adoba: mu da hamedei. Bai ilia da wadela: i hamosu dunu hame fadegasa.
The bellows has failed; the lead has been consumed by fire; the molten metal was melted to no purpose. For their wickedness has not been consumed.
30 Fifi asi gala eno dunu da amo dunu da hamedei isu ilia da sia: mu. Bai Na, Hina Gode, da ili higale yolesi dagoi.”
Call them: ‘Rejected silver.’ For the Lord has cast them aside.”
