Jeremiah 23
1 What trouble is coming to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! declares the Lord.
Hina Gode da ouligisu dunu amo da Ea fi dunu wadela: lesisa amola afagogobe, ilima ougi bagadedafa fofada: mu.
2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the shepherds who were meant to look after my people: You have scattered my flock. You have chased them away You didn't take care of them, so now I will take care of you for all the evil you've done, declares the Lord.
Amo ouligisu dunu da Gode Ea fi dunu noga: le ouligimu da defea galu. Be Hina Gode, Isala: ili ilia Gode, da ilima amane sia: sa, “Dilia da Na fi dunu noga: le hame ouligi. Dilia da amo dunu afagogole, sefasi dagoi. Amaiba: le, dilia da amo wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Na da dilima se imunu.
3 I myself will gather what's left of my flock from all the countries where I exiled them, and I will bring them back to their pasture, where they will increase in number.
Na da Na fi dunu eno fifi asi gala ganodini esaloma: ne afagogoi. Be Na da amo fi dunu hame bogoi esalebe, amo bu gilisili, ilia sogedafa amoga bu oule misunu. Ilia mano bagohame da lalelegemu, amola ilia idi da bagade heda: mu.
4 I will put shepherds in charge of them who will take care of them, and they won't be afraid or discouraged anymore, and none of them will be missing, declares the Lord.
Na da ouligisu dunu ili noga: le ouligima: ne, amo ilegemu. Na fi dunu da beda: su bu hame ba: mu, amola Na da ilima se iasu eno hamedafa imunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
5 Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will choose a descendant of David who does what is right. As king he will rule with wisdom and do what is just and right throughout the country.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da misunu amoga Na da Hina Bagade hamoma: ne, Da: ibidi ea moloidafa egaga fi ifa Amoda agoane, Dunu afae amo ilegemu. Amo Hina Bagade da dawa: digili, soge huluane ganodini moloidafawane ouligimu.
6 When he is king, Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety. This is the name he will be called: The Lord Who Makes Us Right.
E da Hina Bagade hamoi dagoiba: le, Yuda dunu da olofoiwane gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da Ema dio asulimu, amo ‘Hina Gode, ninia Moloidafa Gaga: su.’”
7 Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't say anymore, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da misunu amoga ilia da Na, Fifi Ahoanusu Gode amo da ili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne gadili oule misi, amoga Na Dioba: le ilia sia: dafawane hame ilegemu.
8 Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” Then they'll live in their own country.
Be amo bu mae dawa: le, ilia da Na da Fifi Ahoanusu Gode amo da gagoe (north) soge amola soge eno amoga Na da musa: ili afagogoi, amoga Na da ilia sogedafa amoga bu oule misi, amo dawa: le ilia da Na Dioba: le sia: dafawane ilegemu. Amasea, ilia da ilia sogedafa amo ganodini esalumu.”
9 When it comes to the prophets: I'm really disturbed—I'm shaking inside! I stagger like a drunk, like someone who's had too much wine, because of what the Lord is like, because of his holy words.
Na dogo da goudai dagoi, amola na da bagadewane yagugusa. Bai Hina Gode da Ea hadigi sia: sia: i dagoi. Na da dunu amo da waini hano bagade maiba: le feloasu, agoaiwane ba: sa.
10 For the country is full of people committing adultery so it's under a curse. The land mourns and the desert pastures have dried up. The people live evil lives, using their energy to do wrong.
Dunu huluane amo soge ganodini esala da Hina Gode yolesi dagoi. Ilia da wadela: i hou hamonana, amola gasa fili wadela: le hamosa. Hina Gode da soge amoga gagabui aligima: ne ilegeiba: le, soge da dinana agoane gala, amola bulamagau amola sibi ilia soge da hafoga: i dagoi.
11 Both prophets and priests show no respect for me. I see wickedness even in my Temple, declares the Lord.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Balofede dunu amola gobele salasu dunu da Gode Ea hou hame dawa: Na ba: loba ilia da Debolo diasu ganodini wadela: le hamonanu.
12 That's why their path will become slippery; they will be chased away in the dark and fall down. I'm going to bring disaster on them at the time when they're punished, declares the Lord.
Ilia logo da enemei amola gasi ganodini agoane ba: mu. Na da hamobeba: le, ilia da sadenane dafamu. Na da ilima wadela: su iasimu. Ilima se imunu eso da doaga: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
13 I saw the prophets of Samaria doing something really offensive: They prophesied in the name of Baal and led my people Israel to sin.
Na da Samelia balofede dunu ilia wadela: i hou amo ba: i dagoi. Ilia da Ba: iele ea dioba: le sia: i dagoi. Amola ilia da Na fi ilima bobogema: ne, wadela: i logo olelei dagoi.
14 But now I see the prophets of Jerusalem doing something even more disgusting: They commit adultery and their lives are a lie. They support the wicked, so no one stops sinning. To me they're all like Sodom; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.
Be Yelusaleme bagade balofede dunu da amo baligimusa: wadela: i hou hamoi, amo Na da ba: i. Ilia da inia uda adole lasu amola ogogosu hamoi dagoi. Ilia da dunu eno wadela: le hamoma: ne bagade fidibiba: le, dunu huluane da wadela: le hamosu fisimusa: hame dawa: i. Na ba: loba, ilia huluane da Sodame amola Goumola dunu defele wadela: le hamonana.
15 So this is what the Lord Almighty says about the prophets: I will give them wormwood to eat and poisoned water to drink, because evil has spread across the country from the prophets of Jerusalem.
Amaiba: le, Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Yelusaleme balofede dunu ilima amane hamomu. Na da gamogai bugi liligi ili moma: ne ilima imunu. Amola Na da ilima medole legesu hano ilia moma: ne imunu. Bai ilia Godema hame fa: no bobogesu hou, amo Na soge huluane ganodini olelei dagoi.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Don't pay attention to what these prophets say when they prophesy to you. They're fooling you with visions they make up in their own minds. They're not from me.
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Balofede dunu ilia sia: mae nabima. Ilia da dilima hahawane hou da doaga: mu, ogogole olelesa. Ilia da ilisu asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: su liligi amo fawane olelesa, amola Na sia: i liligi hamedafa olelesa.
17 They keep on telling people who don't respect me, “The Lord says that you'll live in peace,” and to everyone following their own stubborn attitude, “Nothing bad is going to happen to you.”
Ilia da dunu (amo da Na sia: i liligi nabimu higa: i dunu) ilima ilia da hahawane fawane ba: mu, amo sia: daha. Amola ga: nasi hamoi gasa fi dunu, ilima ilia da wadela: su hame ba: mu olelelala.”
18 But who of them has attended the Lord's council to hear and understand what he's saying? Who has paid attention to his instructions and followed them?
Na (Yelemaia) da amane sia: i, “Amo balofede dunu afae da Hina Gode Ea wamolegei asigi dawa: su amo hamedafa dawa: i galu. Afae da Ea sia: amola Ea sia: i adole iasi amo hame nabi amola hame dawa: digi.
19 Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.
Hina Gode Ea ougi da gibula bobodole isu mabe agoane misini, amola gasa bagade isu amo da wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia dialuma da: iya masunu.
20 The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
Amo isu da mae dagole, maneawane, Hina Gode Ea hanai huluane hamoi dagoiba: le fawane yolesimu. Hobeadafa, Hina Gode Ea fi dunu da amo hou dawa: digimu.”
21 I didn't send these prophets, but they run to deliver their messages. I didn't tell them to say anything, but they still go on prophesying.
Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da amo balofede dunu hame asunasi. Be ilia da udigili asi. Na da ilima sia: adosima: ne hame sia: i, be ilia da Na Dioba: le udigili sia: i.
22 Now if they had attended my council, they would have delivered my instructions to my people and brought them back from their evil way of life, from their evil actions.
Ilia da Na wamolegei asigi dawa: su dawa: i ganiaba, ilia da Na sia: Na fi dunuma alofele imunu dawa: la: loba, amola Na fi dunu ilia wadela: i esalusu amola hawa: hamosu fisima: ne hamona: noba.
23 Am I only a local God and not a God who operates widely? asks the Lord.
Na da Gode amo da sogebi huluanedafa amo ganodini esalebe dawa: Na da sogebi afadafa fawane amo ganodini hame esala.
24 Can people hide in secret places where I can't see them? asks the Lord. Don't I operate everywhere in heaven and on earth? asks the Lord.
Dunu huluane da Na mae ba: ma: ne, wamoaligimu hamedei ba: sa. Na da mu amola osobo bagadega sogebi huluanedafa amo ganodini esala.
25 I've listened to the prophets who prophesy lies in my name. They say, “I've had a dream! I've had a dream!”
Amo balofede ilia sia: Na dawa: Ilia da Na Dioba: le, ogogole sia: sa, amola Na da ilia simasia ba: su amo ganodini ilima sia: sa, amo ogogole olelesa. Bai Na da ilima hamedafa sia: sa.
26 How long will this continue? How long will these prophets go on prophesying these lies which are just the product of their own deluded minds?
Amo balofede dunu da Na fi dunuma ogogosu sia: ilisu hamosu olelesa, amo da habodane yolesima: bela: ?
27 They think the dreams that they repeat to one another will lead my people to forget me, just like their forefathers forgot me by worshiping Baal.
Ilia da agoane dawa: Ilia da ilia simasia ba: i liligi amo Na fi dunu ilima olelesea, Na fi dunu da ilia edalia hou defele, Na gogolele, Ba: ielema fa: no bobogemu, agoane dawa:
28 A prophet who has a dream should say it's just a dream, but anyone I've spoken to should deliver my message faithfully. What is straw in comparison to grain? asks the Lord.
Balofede da simasia ba: sea, amo da simasia ba: su fawane e da sia: mu da defea. Be balofede dunu da Na sia: dafa nabasea, e da mae ogogole, moloiwane amo sia: alofele imunu da defea. Na sia: da widi ha: i manu noga: iwane gala. Be bioi gisi da noga: i hame.
29 Doesn't my word burn like fire? asks the Lord. Isn't it like a hammer smashing a rock?
Na sia: da lalu agoane. Amola Na sia: da ‘ha: ma’ (hammer), amo da igi fofonobomusa: goudasa, agoai gala.
30 Pay attention to this, declares the Lord. I'm opposed to those prophets who steal words from one another and then say it's a message from me.
Balofede mogili ilia da balofede eno ea udigili sia: dalebe amo lale, eno dunuma olelesea, amo udigili sia: da Na sia: dafa ilia ogogole olelesa. Na da amo ogogosu balofede dunu higasa.
31 Pay attention to this declares the Lord. I'm opposed to those prophets who make up their own stories and then announce, “This is what the Lord says.”
Amola balofede eno da hi sia: olelesea, amo da Na sia: dafa ogogole sia: sa. Na da amo balofede amola higasa.
32 Pay attention to this declares the Lord, I'm opposed to those who prophesy fictional dreams. They tell them in order to lead my people into sin with their wild lies. I didn't send them or give them any instructions, and they don't do anybody any good, declares the Lord.
Nabima! Na, Hina Gode, da amane sia: sa! Na da balofede dunu amo da ilia ogogosu simasia ba: i liligi olelesa, amo higasa. Ilia da amo simasia ba: i olelebeba: le, amola ogogole amola hidale sia: beba: le, Na fi dunu da logo giadofale, dafasa. Na da ili hame asunasi amola olelela masa: ne hame sia: i. Amola ilia da Na fi dunu hamedafa fidisa. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
33 So when a prophet or priest or anyone else comes and asks you, “What is ‘the burden of the Lord?’” tell them, I'm not giving you a burden. I'm giving up on you, declares the Lord.
Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Yelemaia! Na fi dunu afae o balofede dunu o gobele salasu dunu, amo da dima amane adole ba: sea, ‘Hina Gode Ea sia: i da adi sia: bela: ?’ di ema bu amane adole ima, ‘Di da Hina Godema da: i dioi liligi bagade. E da di fadegamu!’
34 If a prophet or priest or anyone else claims, “This is the burden of the Lord,” I will punish that person and their family.
Be Na fi dunu afae, o balofede o gobele salasu da sia: agoane, ‘Hina Gode Ea sia: da agoane’ amo fawane sia: sea, Na da e amola ea sosogo fi ilima se imunu.
35 This is what everybody should say to their friends and relatives: “What answer has the Lord given?” or, “What has the Lord said?”
Be amo mae dawa: le, dunu huluane afae afae da ea dogolegei amola na: iyado ilima amane adole ba: mu da defea, ‘Hina Gode da adi adole ibala: ? E da adi sia: bela: ?’ Bai ilia da Na sia: hame dawa:
36 Don't talk about “the burden of the Lord” anymore, because everybody has different ideas about this “burden,” perverting the words of the living God, the Lord Almighty, our God.
Be dilia bu ‘Amo da Hina Gode Ea sia:’ bu sia: mu da sema bagade. Bai dilisu sia: da Gode Esala, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, amo Ea sia: dilia da giadofale sia: sea, dilia da Na sia: dafa bagadewane wadela: sa.
37 This is what you are to say ask any prophet: “What message has the Lord given you?” and “What has the Lord told you?”
Yelemaia! Di balofede dunu ilima amane adole ba: ma, ‘Hina Gode da dima adi sia: bela: ? Dima adi adole ibala: ?’
38 If they say, “This is the burden of the Lord,” then this is the Lord's response: Because you said, “This is the burden of the Lord,” and I warned you not to,
Amasea, amo balofede dunu ilia da Na sia: mae nabawane, ‘Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.’ amane sia: sea, ilima amane olelema,
39 now I'm going to pick you up like a burden and throw you away, you and the city that I gave to you and your forefathers.
‘Na, Hina Gode, da dili gaguia gadole, dili amola dilia moilai bai bagade (amo Na da dili amola dilia aowalalia ilima i) amo fadegale fasimu.
40 I will disgrace you forever, you shame will never be forgotten.
Na da eso huluane dialoma: ne, gogosiasu dilima imunu. Dunu huluane da amo gogosiasu hamedafa gogolemu.’”
