Jeremiah 13
1 [One day] Yahweh said to me, “Go and buy a linen waistcloth. Put it on, but do not wash it.”
Hina Gode da nama abula selefa dunumuni gala, amo bidi lale, gasisalima: ne sia: i. Be E da amo selefa hanoa mae gema: ne sia: i.
2 So I bought a [very nice] waistcloth, which is what Yahweh told me to do, and I put it on.
Amaiba: le, na da amo selefa bidi lale, gasisali.
3 Then [later] Yahweh gave me another message.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama bu amane sia: i,
4 He said, “Go to the small Perath Stream [near Jerusalem] and hide your waistcloth in a crevice/hole in the rocks.”
“Iufala: idisi Hano amoga masa! Dia selefa amo gele gelabo ganodini wamolegema.”
5 So I went to the stream and did what Yahweh told me to do.
Amaiba: le na da asili, Iufala: idisi Hano gadenene na selefa wamolegei.
6 A long time later, Yahweh said to me, “Go [back] to that stream and get the waistcloth that I told you to hide there.”
Fa: no, eso enoga, Hina Gode da na Iufala: idisi Hano amoga bu asili, selefa bu lama: ne sia: i.
7 So I went to the Perath Stream and dug out the waistcloth from the crevice/hole in which I had hidden it. But it was ruined, and useless.
Amaiba: le, na da bu asi. Be na da sogebi amoga na da selefa wamolegei ba: loba, selefa da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: i.
8 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama bu amane sia: i,
9 “[What happened to your waistcloth] shows that I will destroy the things that [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah are very proud of.
“Dia selefa wadela: lesi defele, Na da Yuda ilia gasa fi amola Yelusaleme ilia gasa fi wadela: lesimu.
10 Those wicked people refuse to pay attention to what I say. They stubbornly do just what they desire to do; they worship other gods. Therefore, they will become completely useless, like your waistcloth.
Amo wadela: i fi dunu da Nama nabasu hou hame hamosa. Ilia da dogo ga: nasi amola wadela: i hou hamonana, amola ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadolala amola hawa: hamonana. Amaiba: le, ilia da dia selefa defele, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
11 Just like a waistcloth clings closely/tightly to a man’s waist, I wanted the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah to cling closely to me. I wanted them to be my people, people who would praise me and honor me. But they would not pay attention [to me]. “
Selefa da dunu ea ifo ga: sua noga: le defele gagusa. Amo defele, Na da Isala: ili amola Yuda dunu ilia Na hou gasawane gagumu hanai galu. Ilia da Na fi dunu esaloma: ne amola Na Dio amoma nodoma: ne amola gaguia gadoma: ne, Na da agoane dawa: i galu. Be ilia da Na sia: nabimu hame dawa: i galu.”
12 “[So], tell this to them: ‘Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli [people worship], says that every leather wineskin should be filled with wine.’ And [when you tell that to them], they will reply, ‘(Of course/Certainly) we know [RHQ] that all wineskins should be filled with wine!’
Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Yelemaia! Isala: ili dunu ilima amane sia: ma! Waini ganagu huluane da waini hanoga nabaidafa ba: mu da defea. Ilia da dima bu amane adole imunu, ‘Ninia dawa: ! Waini ganagu huluane da waini hanoga nabamu da defea.’
13 And then you must tell them, ‘No, that is not what Yahweh means. What he said means that he will cause this land to be filled with people who are drunk. [That will include all of you]—the king who sits on the throne that King David previously sat on, the priests and the prophets, and even the common people of Jerusalem.’
Amasea, ilima agoane olelema, ‘Na, Hina Gode, da dunu huluane amo soge ganodini esala, ilia feloama: ne, waini hano amoga nabamu. Amo hina bagade (ilia da Da: ibidi egaga fi) amola ‘gobele salasu’ amola balofede dunu amola Yelusaleme dunu huluane da waini hano amoga nabaidafa ba: mu.’
14 [He is saying], ‘I will cause you to bash each other. [Even] parents will bash their children. I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you at all; pitying you will not prevent me from getting rid of you.’”
Amasea, osoboga hahamoi ganagu da ganagu eno amoga fabeba: le goudasa, amo defele Na da dunu da: i amola ayeligi huluanedafa defele goudamu. Na da hamedafa asigili, ili huluane medole legemu.
15 [You people of Judah], pay very careful attention [DOU]. Do not be proud, because Yahweh has spoken to you.
Isala: ili fi dunu! Nabima! Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi! Dilia hou fonobone, Ea sia: nabima!
16 [It is as though] he is ready to bring darkness on you and to cause you to stumble and fall [as you walk] on the hills when it is becoming dark. [So] praise/honor Yahweh your God before that happens. If you do not do that, you will look for light, but all you will see is darkness and gloom.
Dilia Hina Godema nodone dawa: ma! Dilia da hadigi ba: mu hanai galu. Be Hina Gode da hadigi afadenene, dilima gasi iasa: besa: le amola dilia sadenane dafasa: besa: le, Hina Godema nodone dawa: ma amola Ea sia: nabima!
17 And if you [still] refuse to heed what he says, [what will happen to you because of] your being proud will cause me to cry when I am alone. My eyes will be filled with tears because [you], Yahweh’s people, [whom he takes care of like a shepherd takes care of] [MET] his flock, will [all] be [captured by your enemies and] taken to other countries.
Be dilia da hame nabasea, na da dilia gasa fi hou dawa: beba: le, wamowane dimu. Na da ha: giwane dimu amola na si hano da hano agoane sa: imu. Bai Hina Gode Ea fi dunu da mugululi udigili se iasu hawa: hamoma: ne asi dagoi.
18 [You people of Judah], say to the king and to his mother, “Come down from sitting on your thrones and [humbly] sit in the dust, because [your enemies] will soon snatch from your heads your glorious crowns.”
Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Hina bagade amola ea ame elama ela da fisu fisili gudu sa: ima: ne sia: ma! Bai elea habuga ida: iwane da elea dialumaga fadegale sa: i dagoi.
19 The towns in the southern part of Judah will be surrounded by your enemies, and no one will be able to get through their lines [to rescue the people in those towns]. [You people of] Judah will be captured and taken away; you will all be (exiled/taken [to foreign countries)].
Ha lai dunu da Yuda gagoe (south) amoga moilai doagala: lala. Amoga masunu da hamedei. Ha lai dunu da Yuda fi dunu huluane mugululi hiouginanu asi dagoi.”
20 [You leaders of Jerusalem], open your eyes and look: [The enemy armies are ready to] march down from the north. [When that happens], what will happen to [RHQ] the [people of Judah who are like] a beautiful flock of sheep, people that he gave to you to take care of?
Yelusaleme fi dunu! Ba: ma! Dilia ha lai dunu da gagoe (north), amoga doagala: musa: maha. Dunu amo Gode da dili ouligimusa: sia: i, amola dilia da asigiwane ba: i, amo da habila: ?
21 What will you say [RHQ] when Yahweh appoints people from other countries to rule over you, people who you [mistakenly] thought were your friends? You will [RHQ] suffer very much pain, like a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.
Dunu amo da dilia asigi na: iyado dunu dilia dawa: i galu, amo da dilima doagala: sea, hasalasili, dili ouligisia, dilia da adi sia: ma: bela: ? Dilia da uda da mano lalelegelala se naba, amo defele se nabimu.
22 You will ask yourselves, “Why is this happening to us?” [I will reply that] it is because of your many sins. That is why [soldiers of the invading armies] will lift up the skirts [of your women] and rape them.
Dilia abula huluane da gasawane fadegale amola dunu da uda wadela: lesisa, amo defele dilia da wadela: lesi dagoi. Dilia da abuliba: le amo hou da dilima doaga: bela: adole ba: sa! Bai dilia hou da wadela: idafa.
23 A man from Ethiopia certainly cannot [RHQ] change the color of his [black] skin, and a leopard certainly cannot [RHQ] change its spots. Similarly, you cannot start doing what is good, because you have always done what is evil.
Bunumai dunu da ea gadofo afadenemu dawa: bela: ? ‘Lebade’ da ea daginisisi fadegamu dawa: bela: ? Hame mabu! Be amo dawa: mu ganiaba, dilia wadela: i hamosu fawane dawa: su dunu da moloidafa hou hamomu dawa: la: loba.
24 [Yahweh says], “I will scatter you like chaff that is blown away by the wind from the desert.
Hafoga: i soge fo da bioi gisi amo afagogosa. Amo defele, Hina Gode da dili afagogomu.
25 That is what is certainly going to happen to you; the things that I have determined will happen to you, because you have forgotten me, and you are trusting in false [gods].
Dilia da agoai ba: mu, E da ilegei dagoi. Bai dilia da E gogole, ogogosu ‘gode’ amo dafawaneyale dawa: su.
26 [It is as though] I myself will pull your skirts up over your faces and cause you to be very ashamed because everyone will be able to see your sex organs.
Hina Gode Hisu da dili gogosiama: ne, dilia abula gisa: mu.
27 I have seen that you [act like men who are eager to commit adultery]; you are like male horses that whinny when they desire [to have sex with] a female horse. I have seen that you worship disgusting idols in the fields and on the hills. [You people of] Jerusalem, terrible things will happen to you! How long will it be [RHQ] until you are acceptable to me [again]?”
Dilia hou amo E da bagade higasa, amo hamosu amola amo E da ba: i dagoi. Dilia da dunu ea na: iyado ea uda hanaiba: le hamosa, amola gawali hosi da aseme hosi hamomusa: dawa: sa, amo defele dilia hanaiwane agologa amola umi sogega, ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima fa: no bobogesa. Yelusaleme fi dunu! Dilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia da moloidafa ledo hamedei ba: mu da hamedei.
