Yelemaia 7
1 Hina Gode da na Debolo logo ga: su (amoga Yuda dunu da Ema sia: ne gadomusa: golili ahoa) amoga asunasi. E da nama amogai lela, Hina Gode Bagadedafa amo Ea sia: alofele ilima sia: ma: ne sia: i, amane, “Dilia esalebe hou amola dilia hawa: hamobe afadenema. Amasea, dilia da guiguda: esaloma: ne, Na da logo doasimu.
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
“Go to the entrance of my temple, and give this message to the people: You people of Judah who worship here, listen to this message from Yahweh!
The Commander of the armies of angels says to you, ['If you] stop doing evil things and start doing what is right, I will allow you to remain living in your land.'
4 Sia: amo, ‘Ninia da gaga: i dagoi. Amo da Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu! Amo da Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu!’ Amo sia: da ogogosa, amola amo dafawaneyale mae dawa: ma.
[But some people] are repeatedly saying to you, ‘The temple of Yahweh is here, [so we will be safe]; [he will not allow us and the temple to be destroyed].’ But do not pay attention to what they say, because they are deceiving you.
5 Dilia esalebe hou amola dilia hawa: hamobe afadenema! Enoma enoma moloidafa hou hamoma.
[I will act mercifully to you only] if you change your behavior and stop doing evil things, and if you [start to] act fairly/justly toward others,
6 Guga: loi hou fisili, ga fi dunu amola guluba: mano amola didalo ilima moloidafa amola asigi hou fawane hamoma. Dilia soge ganodini dilia da hou moloidafa hamosu dunu udigili medole legesa. Amo hou yolesima! Ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima dilia nodone sia: ne gadolala. Amo hou da dili wadela: lesimu. Yolesima!
and if you stop oppressing foreigners [who live in your country], and orphans and widows, and if you stop murdering people, and if you stop worshiping (foreign gods/idols). However, if you continue to do those things, you will be destroyed.
7 Na da dilia soge amo dilia aowalalia eso huluane gaguma: ne ilima i. Amola, dilia da dilia hou afadenesea, dilia amo ganodini bu esaloma: ne, Na da logo doasimu.
If you do what I have told you, I will allow you to stay in this land that I promised to your ancestors that it would belong to them [and their descendants] forever.
8 Ba: ma: i! Dilia da ogogosu sia: amo dafawaneyale dawa: sa.
[People are repeatedly] telling you, [‘The temple is here, so we are safe]’, and you are trusting/believing [that what they are saying is true], but it is a lie. [Those people are deceiving you, and what they say is] worthless.
9 Dilia da wamolala amola medole legelala, inia uda amola dunu adole lala, dafawane hamona: nibuya ilegesea ogogolala, Ba: ielema gobele salasu iaha, amola ogogosu ‘gode’ amo dilia da musa: hame dawa: i, ilima nodone sia: ne gadolala.
You think that [RHQ] you can steal things, murder people, commit adultery, tell lies in court, and worship Baal and all those other gods that you did not know about previously,
10 Hou amo Na da higasa. Be dilia da hahawane hamonana. Amalalu, dilia da Na Debolo diasu golili misini, Na midadi lelawane, Nama amane sia: sa, ‘Ninia da gaga: i dagoi!’
and then come here and stand in front of this temple, which is my temple, and say ‘Nothing bad will happen to us!’, while you continue to do all those abominable things.
11 Dilia adi dawa: bela: ? Na Debolo diasu da wamolasu dunu ilia wamoaligisula: ? Hame mabu! Dilia hamonanebe amo Na da ba: i dagoi.
Do you realize that you are causing this temple, which is my temple, to become like [MET] a den where bandits hide [RHQ]? Do you not know that I see [all the evil things that you people do there]?
12 Dilia Siailou moilaiga ba: la masa. Siailou amoga Isala: ili dunu da Nama nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne, Na da degabo ilegei dagoi. Be Na fi Isala: ili dunu da wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Na da Siailou wadela: lesi dagoi.
[Long ago] I put my Sacred Tent at Shiloh [city], to be a place where people would worship me [MTY]. Think about how I [destroyed it] because my people, the Israeli people, did [many] wicked things there.
13 Dilia amola da amo wadela: i hou huluane hamonanu. Na da dilima sia: ne ba: loba, sia: ne ba: loba, be dilia da Na sia: hame nabi. Na da dilima wele sia: beba: le, dilia da bu hame adole i.
And while you were continually doing those wicked things, I told you about it many times, but you refused to listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer [me].
14 Amaiba: le, Na da Siailou amoma hamoi defele, Na da Na Debolo (amo da dili gaga: mu dilia dawa: ) amoma hamomu. Amo soge guiguda: Na da dilia aowalalia ilima amola dilima i dagoi. Be guiguda: , Na da Siailou amoma hamoi defele hamomu.
Therefore, just like I destroyed Shiloh, I will [now] destroy this temple that was built for people to worship me [MTY], this temple that you trust in, that is in this place that I gave to you and your ancestors.
15 Na da dilia na: iyado fi dunu, Isala: ili dunu, Na mae ba: ma: ne gadili sefasi dagoi. Amo defele, Na da dili sefasimu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
And I will expel you from this land and send you [to other countries] far away from me, just like I did to your relatives, the people of Israel.”
16 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Yelemaia! Amo dunu fidima: ne, mae sia: ne gadoma. Ili fidima: ne, mae dima amola mae sia: ne gadoma. Amola Nama mae edegema - Na da dia sia: hame nabimu.
[Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], do not pray for these people [any longer]. Do not cry for them or plead for [me to help] them, because I will not pay any attention to you.
17 Ilia hou Yuda moilai bai bagade huluane amola Yelusaleme logo amo ganodini hamonana, di da ba: sala: ?
Do you see [the wicked things] that they are doing in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah?
18 Mano da lalu habesa, dunu da lalu didisa, uda da falaua agi ga: gi hamoma: ne bibiagosa amo huluane ogogosu uda ‘gode’ (ema ilia da Hebene Uda hina bagade dio asuli) amoma ima: ne hamosa. Amola ilia da Nama se ima: ne, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima ima: ne, waini hano sogadigisa.
The children gather firewood and their fathers use it to make fires [on the altars to burn sacrifices]. The women knead/make dough to make cakes to offer to [their goddess Astarte who is called] the Queen of Heaven. And [on their altars] they pour out offerings of wine to [their] other idols. All of those things cause me to become extremely angry!
19 Be ilia da Nama dafawane se iahabela: ? Hame mabu! Ilia da ilila: se iaha amola ilila: gogosiasu iaha.
But I am not [RHQ] the one whom they are hurting; they are really [RHQ] hurting themselves [by doing these things for which they should be] very ashamed!”
20 Amaiba: le, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da Na ougi gia: i bagade amo Na Debolo amoma sogadigimu. Amo ougi, Na da dunu amola ohe fi ilima defele sogadigimu. Amola ifa amola ha: i manu bugi amoma sogadigimu. Na ougi da lalu enoga ha: ba: domu hamedene nenanusu ba: mu.
So Yahweh the Lord says this: “Because I am extremely angry with [what happens at] this place, I will punish these people severely [MTY]; my being very angry will be [like] [MET] a fire that will not be extinguished, and I will destroy the people, [their] animals, [their] fruit trees, and [their] crops.”
21 Na fi dunu! Gobele salasu liligi mogili dilia oloda da: iya dafawane gobesisa, mogili dilia da naha (sema agoane gala). Be Na, Hina Gode, da dilia gobele salasu liligi huluane Nama mae iawane dilisu manu da defea, sia: sa. Bai dilia mae dawa: le udigili gobele sala.
Therefore, this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Take away [IRO] your offerings that you bring to burn completely on your altars and your [other] sacrifices; [don’t give them to me]; eat them [yourselves]!
22 Na da dilia aowalalia amo Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, gadili oule misini, Na da ilima gobele salasu amola eno gobele salimusa: hamoma: ne hame sia: i.
When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not offerings to be completely burned on the altar or [other] sacrifices that I wanted from them.
23 Be Na da ilia Gode esaloma: ne amola ilia da Na fi dunu esaloma: ne, Na da ilima Na hamoma: ne sia: nabawane hamoma: ne sia: i. Amola ilia da hahawane esaloma: ne, Na da ilima ilia da Na sia: defele esaloma: ne sia: i.
What I told them was, ‘Obey me; [if you do that], I will be your God and you will be my people. If you do the things that I want you to do, everything will go well for you.’
24 Be ilia da Na sia: hame nabi amola hame dawa: digi. Be amo mae dawa: le, ilia da ilia ga: nasi amola wadela: i dogoga asigi dawa: su amoga ilia hanaiga hamosu. Amola ilia hou da bu mae hahamone, gudu sa: i dagoi.
But your ancestors would not pay any attention [DOU] to me. They continued to do [the evil things] that they wanted to do, everything that in their stubborn inner beings they desired to do. Instead of coming closer to me, they went further away from me.
25 Eso amoga dilia aowalali da Idibidi soge yolesili, amogainini wali eso doaga: le, Na da mae yolesili, Na hawa: hamosu dunu, balofede dunu, dilima asula ahoasu.
From the day that your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my prophets to you.
26 Be dunu afae da hame nabi amola hamedafa dawa: i galu. Be dilia wadela: i hou da heda: le, dilia ga: nasi amola odoga: su hou da dilia aowalali ilia hou baligi dagoi.
But you, [my people], have not listened to me or paid attention to what I said; you have been stubborn, and you have done more sinful things than your ancestors did.”
27 Amaiba: le Yelemaia! Di da amo sia: huluane Na fi dunuma sia: ma. Be ilia da dia sia: hame nabimu. Di da ilima wele sia: mu, be ilia da dima bu hame adole imunu.
[Then Yahweh said to me], “When you tell all this to my people, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
28 Di da ilima ilia fi da Na, ilia Hina Gode, Ea sia: hame naba, amo sia: ma. Amola ilia da Na se iasu lai dagoiba: le, bu dawa: su hame laha, amo sia: ma. Moloidafa mae yolesili fa: no bobogesu hou da bogoi dagoi. Dunu ilia da amo hou noga: iwane bu hame sia: sa.
Say to them, ‘You people [of Judah] have not obeyed Yahweh, your God; you have not accepted it when he tried to correct you. No one among you is truthful; you do not say anything that is true; [you speak only lies].’
29 Yelusaleme fi dunu! Da: i dioiba: le, didigia: ma! Dilia dialuma hinabo damuni, ha: digima! Agolo da: iya, idigisa gesami hea: ma! Bai Na, Hina Gode, da ougi gala. Na da Na fi dunu higale yolesiagai.
[So, tell them to] cut off their hair [to show that they are mourning]; tell them to go up into the hills and sing a sad funeral song, because I have completely rejected [DOU] this generation [of people] who have made me angry.”
30 Yuda fi dunu da wadela: le bagade hamoi dagoi. Ilia da ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila (amo Na higasa) amo Na Debolo diasu ganodini sali dagoi. Ilia da Na Debolo nigima: ne wadela: lesi.
Yahweh says this: “The people of Judah have done many things that I say are evil. They have set up their disgusting idols in my temple, causing it to become an unacceptable [place to worship me].
31 Ilia da Hinome Fago amo ganodini, oloda gaguli amola amoma Doubede dio asuli. Amo da: iya ilia da ilia dunu mano amola uda mano gobele sala. Na da amo hamoma: ne hame sia: i. Na da amo hou hamedafa dawa: i galu.
They have built altars at Topheth in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and they sacrifice their sons and daughters on those altars. I never commanded them to do that; I never even thought that anyone would do that.
32 Amaiba: le, eso da misunu, amoga ilia da amo sogebi ea dio da Doubede o Hinome Fago ilia da hame sia: mu. Be ilia da amoga Medole Legesu Fago dio asulimu. Bogoi dunu ilia da: i hodo da eno sogega uli dogomu hamedeiba: le, ilia da amo fagoga uli dogomu.
So they should beware! There will be a time when that place will no longer be called Topheth or the Hinnom Valley; instead, it will be called the Valley of Slaughter. There will be a huge number of people who will be buried there, with the result that there will be no space to bury more bodies.
33 Sio fi amola sigua ohe da amo bogoi da: i hodo manu, amola dunu da ili sefasimu hamedei ba: mu.
The corpses of my people that are [not buried and are] left on the ground will be eaten by vultures and wild animals, and there will be no one to shoo/chase them away.
34 Yuda soge da hafoga: i amola dunu hame esalebe soge agoai ba: mu. Yuda moilai bai bagade amola Yelusaleme logo amo ganodini hahawane sia: amola uda lasu lolo nabe hahawane sia: , amola gesami huluane Na da dagolesimu.”
There will be no one singing and laughing any more in the streets of Jerusalem; there will be no more joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides in Judah, because the land will be completely destroyed.”
