Jeremiah 23
1 Yahweh declares, “Terrible things will happen to [the leaders] [MET] [of my people—those who are like] shepherds of [the people who are like] my sheep—because they have scattered my people and sent them away, and have not taken care of them.
Hina Gode da ouligisu dunu amo da Ea fi dunu wadela: lesisa amola afagogobe, ilima ougi bagadedafa fofada: mu.
2 So, this is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say to those leaders: ‘Instead of taking care of my people and [leading them to places where they are safe, like a shepherd does for] his sheep, you have scattered them. So I will punish you for the evil things that you have done.
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 But later I will gather those who are still alive, from the countries where I have forced them to go. I will bring them back to their own country, where they will have many children, and their number/population will increase.
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 [Then] I will appoint [other] leaders for my people, leaders who will take care of them. And my people will never be afraid [DOU] of anything again, and none of them will be [like a] lost [sheep].’”
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 Yahweh [also] says, “Some day I will appoint for you a righteous man who will be a descendant of King David. He will be a king who rules wisely. He will do what is just and right throughout the land.
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 At that time, all the Israeli people [DOU] will be saved [from their enemies], and they will be safe. And his name will be ‘Yahweh, the one who vindicates/defends us.’”
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 Yahweh [also] says that at that time, people [who are solemnly promising to do something] will no longer say, “[I will do it as surely] as Yahweh lives, who rescued the Israeli people from 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 will say, “[I will do it] as surely as Yahweh lives, who brought [us] Israeli people back to our own land, from the land to the northeast and from all the [other] countries to which he had exiled us.” And they will live in their own land [again].
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 I am very shocked because of the sacred message that Yahweh has spoken about [what will happen to] the [false] prophets; [it is as though] all my bones shake. I stagger like a man who is drunk after drinking a lot of wine.
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 The land is full of [people who commit] adultery; and [Yahweh] has cursed the land. Even the pastures in the desert are all dried up, because the people do what is evil, and [the false prophets] use their power to do things that are not just/fair.
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 Yahweh says, “[Yes, even] the priests and the prophets are ungodly; they do wicked things even in my temple.
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 Therefore, [it will be as though] the paths that they walk on are slippery. [It will be as though] they are being chased in the darkness, and there they will fall down, because I will cause them to experience disasters at the time that I will punish them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
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 [Previously] I saw that the prophets in Samaria were doing something that was wrong; they were prophesying, saying that Baal [gave them the messages that they were proclaiming], and they were deceiving my people.
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 And [now] I have seen the prophets in Jerusalem doing terrible things. They commit adultery and habitually tell lies. They encourage evil people to continue to do evil things, with the result that the people do not stop sinning. Those prophets are as wicked as the people in Sodom and Gomorrah were.
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 Commander of the armies of angels says about those [false] prophets: “I will give those prophets bitter things to eat and poison to drink, because it is because of them that this land is filled with [people who do] wicked things.”
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 Commander of the armies of angels says: “Do not pay any attention to what those [false] prophets say to you, because they are just deceiving you. They tell you about visions that they have thought/created [only] in their own minds, not about visions that I have given them.
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 habitually say to those who hate me, ‘[Yahweh says that] you will have peace.’ And they say to those who stubbornly do what they want to do, ‘Nothing bad will happen to you [because of your doing those things].’
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 none of them has ever been in a council [meeting] in heaven in order to listen to a message from me. None of them has paid attention to anything that [I], Yahweh, have said.
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 So, listen to this: I will punish them; it will be [like] a great storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of those wicked people.
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 I will not stop being angry until I completely accomplish all that I have planned. In the future, you will understand [all of] this clearly.”
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 [Yahweh also says, ] “I have not appointed those prophets, but they run [around telling people their messages]. I did not speak to them, but they [continue to] prophesy.
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 If they had been in my council [meetings], they would have been able to speak messages from me, and they would have caused people to turn away from committing evil things.”
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 Yahweh [also] says, “Am I a God who is only nearby? No, I am a God who is far away, also.
Na da Gode amo da sogebi huluanedafa amo ganodini esalebe dawa: Na da sogebi afadafa fawane amo ganodini hame esala.
24 So, no one can hide in some secret place with the result that I cannot see him. I am everywhere, in heaven and on the earth! [That is what I], Yahweh, say!
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 have heard those prophets prophesy lies, saying that they are telling people messages from me. They say, ‘[Listen to me tell you] the dream that God gave me last night! I [really] had this 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 they continue to do this? How long will those lying prophets continue to prophesy things that come only from their own minds?
Amo balofede dunu da Na fi dunuma ogogosu sia: ilisu hamosu olelesa, amo da habodane yolesima: bela: ?
27 They think that because of the dreams that they tell to each other, people will forget me, like their ancestors forgot about me when they started to worship 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 Allow those [false] prophets to tell people their dreams, but those who have messages that [really] come from me should proclaim those messages faithfully. I, Yahweh, say [that like] straw and grain are certainly very different, [my messages and the messages from those false prophets are certainly very different].
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 [It is as though] my messages [burn] like a fire; they [strike people’s inner beings like] someone strikes a rock with a hammer and smashes it into pieces.
Na sia: da lalu agoane. Amola Na sia: da ‘ha: ma’ (hammer), amo da igi fofonobomusa: goudasa, agoai gala.
30 Therefore, [I, ] Yahweh say, 'I oppose all those prophets who steal messages from each other and claim that those messages came 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 I oppose those prophets who speak their own messages but claim that those messages came from me.
Amola balofede eno da hi sia: olelesea, amo da Na sia: dafa ogogole sia: sa. Na da amo balofede amola higasa.
32 I oppose those prophets who falsely say that I told them something in a vision, but they are [only] telling lies that cause my people to sin. I did not send those prophets. I did not even appoint them [to be prophets]. And they have no messages that will benefit my people at all.' [That is what I, ] Yahweh, declare.”
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 [Yahweh said to me], “If one of those prophets or priests or one of the [other] people asks you, ‘What problem has Yahweh told you about [now]?’, you must reply, ‘You are the problem! And Yahweh says that he will abandon you!’
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 And if any prophet or priest or anyone [else falsely] says, ‘[I have] a prophecy from Yahweh,’ I will punish that person and his 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 What you should continually ask each other is, ‘[When you spoke to Yahweh, ] what did he reply? What is he saying [to us]?’
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 But stop saying ‘[I have] a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ because those who say that are doing it only because they want people to accept their ideas, and by doing that they distort/change the messages that are from our God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
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 should ask each prophet: ‘What did Yahweh reply [when you talked to him]? What is he saying [to us]?’
Yelemaia! Di balofede dunu ilima amane adole ba: ma, ‘Hina Gode da dima adi sia: bela: ? Dima adi adole ibala: ?’
38 If he replies, ‘[What I told you] is a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ you should say to him, ‘You have continued to say, “[I received] a prophecy/message from Yahweh” even though I told you to not claim that you have received prophecies/messages from Yahweh.’
Amasea, amo balofede dunu ilia da Na sia: mae nabawane, ‘Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.’ amane sia: sea, ilima amane olelema,
39 So I [, Yahweh, ] will get rid of you [false prophets]. I will expel you from my presence. And I will get rid of this city that I gave to you and to your ancestors.
‘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 cause people to make fun of you forever. People will never forget that you were disgraced.”
Na da eso huluane dialoma: ne, gogosiasu dilima imunu. Dunu huluane da amo gogosiasu hamedafa gogolemu.’”
