< Jeremiah 2 >

1 The Lord's message came to me, saying,
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ane amanage huno nasami'ne,
2 Go and announce to the people of Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says: I remember when you were young how devoted to me you were. I remember how you loved me when you were my bride. I remember how you followed me in the desert, in a land where nothing is grown.
Kagra Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahetega vunka, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ome huama hunka zamasamio. Zahufa vere vu'nea a'mo nevema avesi avesi'ma hunteaza huta, maka tamagu'areti huta tamavesi nante'naza zankura nagesa antahi atrogeno nevie. Ana nehuta hozama onte hagage ka'ma kopima tamavrenama neogeta namagera navararita e'naze.
3 Israel was holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of his harvest. Anyone who ate this harvest was guilty of sin, and they experienced the disastrous results, declares the Lord.
Hagi e'i ana knafina Israeli vahe'mota Nagri vahe fatgo mani'nazankita, hozafinti ne'zamo ese afu re'negeno hamreankna huta ruotge hu'nazane. Hagi ana ne'zama eri havizama haza vahera kumi hu'nazankino, knazamo zamazeri haviza hu'ne. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ama ana nanekea nehue.
4 Listen to the Lord's message, descendants of Jacob, all you Israelites.
Hagi tamagra Jekopumpinti fore'ma hu'naza nagamotane maka Israeli mopafima mani'naza naga nofimota Ra Anumzamo'ma nehia nanekea antahiho.
5 This is what the Lord says: What did your forefathers think was wrong with me that they went so far away from me? They went off to worship useless idols, and as a result became useless themselves!
Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie, Tamagehemo'za Nagra nahaviza huzmantenoge'za nagrira natre'za afetera mani'naze? Zamagra kaza osu havi anumzana amanezante mono ome hunente'za, zamagra'a zamazeri amne'za se'naze.
6 They didn't ask themselves, “Where is the Lord who led us from Egypt, who led us through the wasteland, through a land of deserts and ravines, a land of drought and darkness, a land that no one travels through and where no one lives?”
Hagi Isipitima zamavare atiramina hagage ka'ma kopima mago'zama omanegeno vahe'ma vanoma nosazageno vahe'ma azeri haviza huzamo'ma avite'nea kokampima vugote'zamante'na vu'noa zankura zamagra Ra Anumzamo'na zamagekaninantaze.
7 I led you into a productive land to eat all the good things that grow there. But you came and made my land unclean, making it offensive to me.
Hagi Nagra tamagrira tamavre'na masaven tretre mopafina ogeta knare'nare ne'zana neneta zafa raganena ne'naze. Hianagi tamagra Nagri mopafima enemanita hinimnage avu'avaza huta mopa eri pehena hu'naze. Ana hazageno erisantima haregahazema hu'na tami'noa mopamo'a Nagri navurera hinimna vu'ne.
8 Your priests did not ask, “Where is the Lord?” Your teachers of the law no longer believed in me, and your leaders rebelled against me. Your prophets prophesied by calling on Baal and followed worthless idols.
Hagi pristi vahe'mo'za Nagrikura, iga mani'ne? hu'za nohakaze. Ana nehazage'za kasegema kegavama hu'naza vahe'mo'za, Nagrira ke'za antahi'za nosaze. Hagi kva vahe'mo'zanena Nagrira keha renante'naze. Ana nehazage'za kasnampa vahe'mo'za Bali havi anumzamofo agifi kasnampa ke nehu'za, amunte omaneno kaza osu havi anumzante monora hunentaze.
9 So I'm going to confront you again, declares the Lord, and I will bring charges against your children's children.
E'ina hu'negu Nagra mago'ane keaga huramante'naku nehue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Ana hu'neanki'na Nagrama keagama huramantesanuana, tamagrira keaga huramantene'na, tamagrama kase zamantesaza mofavre naga'enena keaga hunezmantena, tamagri mofavre nagamokizmi mofavreraminena keaga huzmantegahue hu'na Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na nehue.
10 Travel over to the islands of Cyprus and take a look; go to the land of Kedar and examine carefully to see if anything like this has ever happened before.
Hagi tamagra zage fre kaziga hagerina takaheta vuta ogantu Saiprusi mopafima nemaniza vahera ome nezamageta, zage hanati kaziga vuta Kedari mopafima nemaniza vahera ome zamageho. Kora amanahu zana fore higeta ke'nazaza fore nehifi?
11 Has a nation ever changed its gods? —even though they're not gods at all! Yet my people have traded their glorious God for worthless idols.
Hagi mago'a mopafi vahe'mo'za tamage anumzana omani'neanagi havi anumza zamia atre'za ru anumzana amagera nentazafi? i'o anara nosaze. Hianagi tamagra Nagri vahe'mota hihamu masa'ane Anumzamo'na nontera, amunte omaneno kaza osu havi anumza avrente'naze.
12 You heavens, you should be appalled, shocked and horrified! declares the Lord.
E'i ana'ma nehaza tamavu tamava zantera monamo'a antri huno koro nehuno, antahintahi hakare nehuno kea nosie huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
13 For my people have done two evil things. They have abandoned me, the source of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that can't hold water.
Na'ankure Nagri vahe'mo'za tare hazenkema hu'nazana, Nagra enevia tinkna hu'na mani'noanagi nenatre'za, zamagra'a tinkeria kafi'nazanagi ana kerifina mopamo'a kekokako higeno timo'a mare novazie.
14 Are Israelites slaves? Were they born into slavery? So why have they become victims?
Hagi Israeli vahera kazokazo eri'za vahe omanige, kinafina manine'za kase zamantegera osu'neanki nagafare ha' vahe zamimo'za e'za maka zana eme agu'zaneru'za zamavare'za nevaze?
15 The young lions roared at you; they growled loudly. They have devastated your country; your towns lie in ruins. No one lives there.
Ha' vahe zamimo'za laionimo krafagema nehiaza hu'za ranke huza kezati nezamante'za, mopazamia eri haviza hazageno anampina mago'zana omnetfa hu'ne. Ana nehu'za ne'onse kuma zaminena tapage hutrazageno anampina mago vahera omanitfa hu'ne.
16 The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved your heads.
Hagi Isipi mopafina Memfisi kuma'ene Tapanesi kumapinti e'za Israeli vahera eme tamazeriza tamaseni zokara vazagate atre'naze.
17 Didn't you bring this on yourself by abandoning the Lord your God when he was leading you in the right way?
Hagi tamagri hazenkemofo mizama'a ama ana kna zamo'a tamagritera e'ne. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma tamavreno kante'ma neviana atreta tamefi'ma humiza zante anara hu'naze.
18 Now what will you benefit as you travel back to Egypt to drink the waters of Shihor River? What will you gain on your way to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
Hagi Isipi vahe mopafima vu'nazana na'a mago knare'za erinaku vu'naze. Tamagra Naeli timpinti ti nenaku vu'nazafi? Na'a mago knare'zana erinaku Asiria mopafinena vu'naze. Tamagra Yufretisi timpinti ti nenaku vu'nazafi?
19 Your own wickedness will discipline you; your own disobedience will teach you a lesson. Think about it and you'll recognize what a bitter evil it is for you to abandon the Lord your God and not to respect me, declares the Lord God Almighty.
Tamagrama hu'naza kefozamo kna zana tamino tamazeri fatgo hugahie. Ana nehina Nagri'ma natretama vu'naza zamo keaga huramanteno tamazeri fatgo hugahie. Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzama atreta tamefi'ma hunemita agri agoragama omani nonana, haviza huno osugaza hu'none huta antahigahaze. Nagra Anumzana Monafima sondia vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamo'na ama ana nanekea nehue.
20 You broke off your yoke and ripped off your chains long ago. “I won't worship you!” you declared. On the contrary, you lay down like a prostitute on every high hill and under every green tree.
Hagi korapara tamagrira karenamare zafareti tamanankempina rusi hute'za knama neramiza zafa ru tamana hunetre'na, seni nofiteti'ma kinama huramantenageta kazokazo eri'zama e'neriza nofira rukano hutre'noe. Hianagi tamagra huta Agri eri'zana e'origahune huta nehaze. Anage nehuta agonaramimpine anina kuronkuroma hu'nea zafa agafafina monko a'nemo'za nehazaza huta havi anumzantera monora hunentaze.
21 I was the one who planted you like the finest vine, grown from the very best seed. How could you degenerate into a useless wild vine?
Hianagi knare zantfama hu'nea wainimofo nofiteti kitagi'za mopafi hankraza kna hu'na tamagrira hankre'noe. Hianagi menina na'a higeta hageteta havizama hu'nea afi wainia fore nehaze?
22 Even bleach and plenty of soap can't get rid of your guilty stains. I still see them, declares the Lord God.
Hagi tamagra laema nehaza hankave marasini reti'ene rama'a soporeti tamavufga sese hugahazanagi, ana havi zama hu'naza zamofo avame'zana Nagri navurera amne me'nege'na negoe, huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
23 How dare you say, “I'm not unclean! I haven't gone to worship the Baals!” Look at what you've been doing down in the valley. Admit what you've done! You're a young female camel, racing around everywhere.
Hagi ana kegura tamagra huta, tagra Bali havi anumzamofo amema'arera monora huonte'nonanki, inankna huta tagra'a tazeri pehena hu'none huta nehaze. Hianagi tamagrama kasrino havizama hu'nea avu'ava zama agupofima hu'naza zana keho. Hagi tamagra a' kemoli afu'mofo agifi he'negeno, krahakraha huno ve kemoligu hakeno vano hiankna huta havi anumzankura haketa vano nehaze.
24 You're a female donkey living in the desert, sniffing the wind for a mate because she's in heat. No one can control her at mating time. All those who're looking for her won't have trouble finding her when she's in heat.
Hagi tamagra, afi' a' donki afu'mo agafi ahe'negeno zahopi agona antesga huteno mana'mana huno vano hiankna nehaze. Ana knafina agriku'ma haza ve tonki afu'moza agrikura hakeza vano nosazanki agra'a hakeno ve tonkigura vano nehie.
25 You don't have to run around barefoot or have your throat go dry. But you reply, “No, it's impossible! I'm in love with foreign gods—I must go to them.”
Hagi tamagra Israeli vahe'mota, tamagareta havi anumzante'ma vano nehazageno tamanankemo'ma hagagema nehia zana nazupa atregahaze? Hianagi tamagra huta, havi anumzama avesima nenteta amage'ma nentona zana otregahunanki, kagra kea osunka manio huta Nagrikura nehaze.
26 In the same way that a thief feels guilty when they're caught, so the people of Israel have been shamed. All of them—their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets.
Hagi tamagra Israeli vahe'motane, Israeli kini vahe'motane, kva vahe'motane, pristi vahe'motane, kasnampa vahe'motanena, tamagra kumzafa vahe'mo kumzafa nesageno keno eri fore higeno agazegu hiankna huta tamagazegu hugahaze.
27 They say to an idol made of wood, “You are my father,” and one made of stone, “You gave birth to me.” They turn their backs on me, and hide their faces from me. But when they're in trouble they come begging to me, saying, “Please come and save us!”
Hagi tamagra zafareti antre'za tro'ma huntenaza havi anumzankura huta nerafa'e nehuta, havere'ma eri pehe hu'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzankura agra kaserantene huta nehuta tamefi hunami'naze. Hianagi tamagra'ma hazenkefima unefreta Nagrikura eme tagu'vazio huta krafagea nehaze.
28 So where are these “gods” of yours that you made for yourselves? Let them come and help you when you're in trouble! Let them save you if they can, because you Israelites have as many gods as you have towns.
Hianagi tamagra'a tamazanteti'ma tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantamina iga mani'naze? Zamagrama muha'ma hu'nesanu'za eme tamaza hugahazanki, knazampima ufresuta ana havi anumzantami kehinke'za e'za eme tamagu vaziho. Na'ankure ana havi anumzantamima tro'ma huntenazana, Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimofo amente amente tro huntetere hu'naze.
29 Why are you complaining to me? It's all of you who have all rebelled against me! declares the Lord.
Tamagra nahigeta Nagrama osu'noa zankura huta hazenke hurante'ne huta nehuta Nagrira kehara renenantaze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
30 It was pointless of me to punish your children because they refused to accept any discipline. You used your own swords to kill your prophets, destroying them like a ferocious lion.
Tamagri mofavre nagara zamazeri fatgo hunaku knazana zamuanagi, zamagra ana zankura ontahi'naze. Ana nehazageta tamagra laionimo zagagafa aheno neankna huta kasnampa vahera zamahe fri'naze.
31 You people of today, think about what the Lord is saying: Israel, have I treated you like an empty desert, or a land of thick darkness? Why are my people saying, “We can go where we like! We don't have to come and worship you any more”?
Hagi ama knafima fore huta mani'naza vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'ma nehia nanekea antahiho. Nagra Israeli vahetera hagege kokankna nehu'na, hanizamo kintrako hu'nea kokankna zamagritera hu'nofi? Hagi nahigeta Nagri vahe'mota huta, hago menina Anumzamo'ma kegavama hurante'nea zana atreta fru huta manunankita Agri kvafina omanigahune huta nehaze.
32 Does a girl forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding dress? Yet my people have forgotten me for too many years to count.
Hagi tamagrama antahi'zana mago mofamo'a avasasema nehia zankura agera nekanigeno, zahufa a'mo'a ese'ma neve'enema aravema ha'a zupama antani'nea kukenagu'enena aganera nekanifi? I'o anara nosaze. Hianagi Nagrira za'za knafi zamagera kaninenamize.
33 How cleverly you look for your lovers! Even prostitutes could learn something from you!
Tamagra Israeli vahe'mota, karuna kereti'ma masave huno monko avu'ava zama hu' zantera antahini hu'naze. Ana hu'nage'za monko zante'ma vugotama hu'naza a'nemo'za tamagripinti rempi hu'za nentahize.
34 On top of that, your clothes are stained with the blood of the poor and the innocent. It's not like you killed them breaking into your homes. Despite all this,
Hagi zamunte omaneno ke'zami omane vahe'mokizmi koramo'a tamagri kukenarega tusiza hu'ne. Tamagra tamavufintira negazage'za tamagri nona eme tapage hu'za musufa ose'nazanagi, tamagra zamahe fri'naze.
35 you go on saying, “I'm innocent! Surely he can't still be upset with me!” Watch out! I'm going to punish you because you go on saying, “I haven't sinned.”
Hagi kagra amanage hunka nehane, nagra mago hazenkea osu'noankino Ra Anumzamo'a arimpa ahe onantegahie hunka nehane. Hianagi antahio, kumira osu'noe nehanankinka keagafi manigahane.
36 You're just so fickle—you keep on changing your mind! You will end up just as disappointed by your alliance with Egypt as you were with Assyria.
Nahigenka kama nevana kana atrenka kavua keganti kegama hunka kazama huzankura nehakane? Korapa'ma Asiria vahe'mo'zama kazama osazagenkama kagazegu'ma hu'nanaza hunka, Isipi vahe'mo'za kazama osanagenka kagazegu hugahane.
37 In fact you will go into exile with your hands on your head as prisoners, because the Lord will have nothing to do with those you trust; they will be no help to you.
Hagi kagrama muha'ma nehana vahera Ra Anumzamo'a amefi huzamisigenka kagazegu nehunka kazana kasenire ante'nenka ana kumara atrenka egahane. Ana vahe'mo'za kagrira tamage hu'za kaza osanagenka knarera hunka omanigahane.
