Jeremiah 29
1 This is the text of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets, and all the others Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
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.
2 (This was after King Jeconiah, the queen mother, the court officials, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalsmiths had been exiled from Jerusalem.)
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.
3 The letter was entrusted to Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It stated:
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.
4 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles who were carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
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,
5 “Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.
‘Dilia diasu gaguli, hahawane fima. Ifabi bugili, ha: i manu faili manu.
6 Take wives and have sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Multiply there; do not decrease.
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.
7 Seek the prosperity of the city to which I have sent you as exiles. Pray to the LORD on its behalf, for if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
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.
8 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Do not be deceived by the prophets and diviners among you, and do not listen to the dreams you elicit from them.
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.
9 For they are falsely prophesying to you in My name; I have not sent them, declares the LORD.”
Ilia da Na Dioba: le, dilima ogogosa. Na da amo dunu hamedafa asunasi. Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da sia: i dagoi.’
10 For this is what the LORD says: “When Babylon’s seventy years are complete, I will attend to you and confirm My promise to restore you to this place.
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.
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
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.
12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Amasea, dilia da Nama wele sia: mu. Dilia da Nama sia: ne gadomu, amola Na da dilima bu adole imunu.
13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Dilia da Na hogoi helemu amola dilia da Na ba: mu. Bai dilia da dilia dogoga asigi dawa: su huluanedafa amoga Na hogoi helemu.
14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and places to which I have banished you, declares the LORD. I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile.”
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.’
15 Because you may say, “The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,”
Dilia da sia: sa, Hina Gode da Ba: bilone soge ganodini balofede dunu dilima iaha.
16 this is what the LORD says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile—
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,
17 this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten.
amo dunuma Na da gegesu amola ha: amola olo ilima iasimu. Na da ili figi fage dasaiba: le, manu da hamedei, amo defele hamomu.
18 I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a curse, a desolation, and an object of scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I banish them.
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.
19 I will do this because they have not listened to My words, declares the LORD, which I sent to them again and again through My servants the prophets. And neither have you exiles listened, declares the LORD.”
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.
20 So hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Dilia dunu huluane Na da Ba: bilone sogega mugululi masa: ne asunasi! Na, Hina Gode, Na sia: nabima!’
21 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you lies in My name: “I will deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.
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.
22 Because of them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
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.’
23 For they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with the wives of their neighbors and speaking lies in My name, which I did not command them to do. I am He who knows, and I am a witness, declares the LORD.”
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.”
24 You are to tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite that
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,
25 this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “In your own name you have sent out letters to all the people of Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests. You said to Zephaniah:
26 ‘The LORD has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada, to be the chief officer in the house of the LORD, responsible for any madman who acts like a prophet—you must put him in stocks and neck irons.
“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.
27 So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?
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.
28 For he has sent to us in Babylon, claiming: Since the exile will be lengthy, build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat their produce.’”
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.”
29 (Zephaniah the priest, however, had read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.)
Sefanaia da nama amo meloa idili i.
30 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
31 “Send a message telling all the exiles what the LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you—though I did not send him—and has made you trust in a lie,
32 this is what the LORD says: ‘I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good that I will bring to My people, declares the LORD, for he has preached rebellion against the LORD.’”
“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.’”
