Jeremiah 3
1 “[Moses wrote that] if a man divorces his wife and then she marries another man, her first husband certainly must not [RHQ] take her back again [to be his wife], because that would certainly [RHQ] cause the whole nation to become unacceptable to me. But you have more [idols than] prostitutes have men whom they have slept with! So, [why should I accept you if] you return to me?” [RHQ] says Yahweh.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dunu afae da ea uda fisiagasea, amola amo uda da e fisili eno dunuma fisia, amo dunu da ea musa: lai uda bu lamu da hamedei. Amai galea, Isala: ili soge da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Be di, Isala: ili, da dunu bagohame ilima wadela: le fi dagoi. Amola, di da wali Nama sinidigimusa: dawa: lala.
2 “Look up at the barren hilltops. On every hilltop there are [RHQ] [idols that you have worshiped]. [It is as though] they are all lovers with whom you have had sex. [It is as though] you have sat along the roadsides like an Arab, waiting [to attack and steal things from] those who pass by. Because of worshiping idols and all the other wicked things that you have done, you have caused the [entire] land to become unacceptable to me.
Agolo da: iya gadodafa ba: ma! Soge huluane amoga di da hina: da: i bidi lasu uda ea hou defele hamosu. A: la: be dunu da hafoga: i sogega eno dunu famusa: ouligisa. Amo defele, di da logo bega: , dunu eno dima udigili golamusa: hogoi helelalebe ba: i. Dina: da: i bidi lasu hou da soge huluane wadela: lesi dagoi.
3 That is why I have not sent you any rain at the times of the year when you needed it. But you are like prostitutes [MET] who are not at all ashamed [for what they have done].
Amaiba: le, Na da gibu logo ga: si dagoi. Amola woufo esoga Na da wou dabe logo ga: si dagoi. Di da dafawane hina: da: i bidi lasu uda defele ba: sa. Di da gogosiamu hame dawa:
4 Now each of you says to me, ‘You are my father! You have loved me ever since I was young!
Amola, wali di da Nama amane sia: sa, ‘Di da na ada. Di da na musa: manohadi eso amogainini wali nama asigi galu.
5 So surely you will not [RHQ] be angry with me forever!’ But you will not quit sinning!”
Di da nama ougi be eso huluane hame ougimu.’ Di amane sia: i, Isala: ili! Be dia hanaiga baligili wadela: i hou hamonanu.”
6 [One day] when Josiah was the king of Judah, Yahweh said to me, “Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have turned away from me, like a woman who has abandoned her husband and sleeps with other men. They have gone up on every hilltop and under every big tree and worshiped idols there [MET].
Yousaia da Yuda soge amoma hina bagade esaloba, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Isala: ili da hohonosu uda defele esala. Dia da ea hamoi ba: bela: ? E da Na fisili, agolo bagade huluane amo da: iya amola golofoyei ifa huluane amo hagudu, e da hina: da: i bidi lasu uda ea hou defele hamonanu.
7 I thought that they would return to me, so I said to them, ‘Come back to me!’ But they refused. So I sent them away [to other countries, like a man] writes a note saying that he is divorcing his wife and then sends his wife away because she has committed adultery [MET].
Amo hamonanu, e da Nama bu sinidigimu, Na da dawa: iou. Be e da Nama hame sinidigi amola ea hohonosu dalusi Yuda amo hou huluane ba: i dagoi.
8 The people of Judah saw what I did to them. But they are just like the people of Israel. They are not afraid [of what I will do to them]. They also [have turned away from me and are worshiping idols like] women who abandon their husbands and go to other men [MET].
Isala: ili da Nama baligi fa: le, hina: da: i bidi lasu uda ea hou defele hamobeba: le, Na da uda fisiagasu hou defele e fisiagale, ga masa: ne asunasi. Yuda da amo hou amola ba: i dagoi. Be Yuda, Isala: ili ea hohonosu dalusi, e amola da mae beda: ne, hina: da: i bidi lasu uda ea hou defele hamoi.
9 They thought that worshiping idols did not matter to me, so they have made the [entire] land unacceptable to me by worshiping idols of wood and stone.
E da mae gogosiane, wadela: i uda lasu hou defele, igi amola ifa amoma nodone sia: ne gadosu.
10 The people of Judah have pretended to return to me, but they have not really done that. [This is true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Amolalu, Yuda (Isala: ili ea hohonosu dalusi) da Nama sinidigimusa: sia: i. Be e da ogogoi. E da moloidafa hou hamedafa dawa: i galu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
11 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Israel have turned away from me, but what the people of Judah have done is worse.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Isala: ili da Na yolesi dagoi. Be Yuda ea wadela: i hohonosu hou da Isala: ili ea hou baligi dagoi.”
12 So go and tell this to the people of Israel: ‘Yahweh says this to you Israeli people who have turned away from him: I am merciful. I will not continue to be angry with you forever. So return to me.
Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi ilima asili, amane sia: ma, ‘Hohonosu Isala: ili fi! Nama bu sinidigima. Na da asigi amola gogolema: ne olofosu hou dawa: Na da hame ougimu. Na da eso huluane ougili esalusu hame dawa:
13 But you must admit/say that you are guilty, and that you have rebelled against me, Yahweh, your God, that you have worshiped idols under big trees everywhere, and you have not obeyed me. You have turned away from me.
Be dia wadela: i hou amola Nama odoga: su hou amo fawane fofada: ma. Di da golofoyei ifa huluane amo hagudu, ga fi ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima asigi hou olelei, amola Na sema hame nabasu. Amo fofada: nanu, Nama sinidigima. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
14 But you belong to me. So I will take you, one from [each] city and two from [each] clan, and bring you [back] to Jerusalem [from the countries to which you were exiled].
Hohonosu dunu fi! Sinidigima! Dilia da Na fi. Na da moilai huluane afae afae amoga dunu afae lale, amola fi huluane amoga dunu aduna lale, amola Saione Goumiga dili bu oule misunu.
15 [If you do that], I will appoint for you leaders with whom I am pleased, leaders who will guide you [well] because they will know and understand [what pleases me].
Ouligisu dunu amo da Na sia: naba dunu, amo Na da dilima imunu. Amola ilia da dawa: iwane amola asigiwane dili ouligimu.
16 And when you become very numerous [DOU] in your land, you will not need to talk about the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments. You will not think about it, and you will not want to make a new one.
Amasea, dilia idi da amo soge ganodini bagade heda: sea, dunu da Na Sema Gousa: su Gagili ea hou bu hame sia: mu. Ilia da amo bu hame dawa: mu, ilia da gogolemu. Bai ilia da hahawane esalebeba: le, Gousa: su Gagili ea fidisu hame hogomu. Amola ilia da eno Gousa: su Gagili hame hahamomu.
17 At that time people will say, “Jerusalem is [the place where] Yahweh’s throne is.” [People from] all nations will come there to worship me. And they will no longer stubbornly do the evil things that they desire.
Bai amo eso da doaga: sea, ilia da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoma dio ‘Hina Gode Ea Fisu’ asulimu. Amola fifi asi gala huluane da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: gilisimu. Ilia da ilia wadela: i dogo asigi dawa: su ea hanaiga bu hame hamomu.
18 At that time you people [MTY] of Israel and the people of Judah will return from [being (exiled/forced to live) in] lands to the northeast. You will return to the land that I gave to your ancestors to belong to them [forever].
Isala: ili fi da Yuda fi ilima gilisimu. Amola, elea fi dunu fifi asi gala gagoe (north) gala amoga mugululi asi da soge amo Na da dilia aowalalia ilima eso huluane gaguma: ne i, amoga bu sinidigimu.”
19 You people of Israel, I wanted to accept you to be my children. I wanted to give you [this] delightful land. It is a land more desirable/pleasant than the land of any other nation! I wanted you to call me ‘father’, and I wanted you to never turn away from me.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili! Na da di Nagofe esaloma: ne hanai galu. Na da dima soge ida: iwane gala, eno osobo bagade soge baligi soge, amo dima imunusa: dawa: i galu. Di da Nama Ada dio asulimu, amola eso huluane bu Na hame fisimu, Na da dawa: i galu.
20 But you have abandoned me like wives who have abandoned their husbands.’” [That is what] Yahweh said, and [I told it] to the people of Israel.
Be di da hohonosu uda defele, Nama hohonoi dagoi. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
21 People will hear a noise on the barren hilltops. It will be the noise made by people weeping and pleading [for God to be merciful to them]. They will be admitting/saying that they have forgotten Yahweh their God, and that they turned away from behaving as God wanted them to.
Agolo da: iya sia: bagade da naba. Amo da Isala: ili dunu, ilia da disa edegelala. Bai ilia da wadela: le hamosa esalu, amola ilia Hina Gode gogolei galu.
22 Yahweh will say to them, “You Israeli people, come back to me! [If you do that], I will cause you to never turn away from me again.” [The people will reply], “We are returning to you, because you are Yahweh, our God.
Dilia huluane da Hina Gode yolesi. Be bu sinidigima! E da dili uhinisimu amola dili bu didili hamoma: ne hamomu. Dilia da amane sia: sa, “Dafawane! Ninia da Hina Godema manebe goea. Bai E da ninia Gode.
23 We did not get any help from [the idols that we worshiped on] the hilltops; we did not get any help from making all that noise up there.
Ninia da agolo da: iya ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu, be fidisu hame ba: i. Hina Gode, ninia Gode, Hifawane da fidisu dawa:
24 From the time when we were young, the shameful [god Baal] has taken away [from us] everything that our ancestors worked hard to acquire. He has taken away their flocks [of sheep] and herds [of cattle], their sons and their daughters.
Be ninia da Ba: iele (gogosiasu ‘gode’) ema sia: ne gadobeba: le, ninia sibi, bulamagau gilisisu, ninia dunu mano amola uda mano da fisi dagoi. Liligi huluane amo ninia aowalalia da lama: ne bagadewane hawa: hamosu, amo huluane da fisi dagoi ba: sa.
25 So, now we should lie down feeling very ashamed [DOU], because we and our ancestors have sinned against Yahweh our God, and we have never obeyed him.”
Ninia da diasa: ili, ninia gogosiasu amoga dedeboi dagoi ba: mu da defea. Ninia amola ninia aowalalia da mae fisili, ninia Hina Godema wadela: lewane hamonanu. Ninia da Ea sia: hamedafa nabasu.”
