Jeremiah 4
1 Yahweh says, “You Israeli [people], come back to me! If you get rid of those detestable idols and do not turn away from me [again],
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi dunu! Dilia da sinidigimusa: dawa: sea, Nama sinidigima. Dilia da moloiwane Nama fa: no bobogesea amola loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ fadegasea,
2 and if you declare, ‘Just as surely as Yahweh lives, what he says is true,’ and if you [start to] always say what is true and act justly/fairly and righteously, then the [people in the other] nations [of the world] will request that I bless them [as I have blessed you], and they will [all come and] honor/praise me.”
dilia da Na Dioba: le dafawane ilegemu da defea ba: mu. Amasea, fifi asi gala huluane da Nama Na da ili hahawane dogolegele sia: ma: ne adole ba: mu. Amola ilia da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomu.”
3 This is what Yahweh says to the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah: “[Prepare yourselves to receive my messages] like farmers plow up hard ground [in order that they can plant seed in it]. Just as farmers do not [waste good seed by] sowing seeds among thorny plants, [I do not want to waste my time telling you messages that you are not ready to receive].
Hina Gode da Yuda soge amola Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade dunu ilima amane sia: sa, “Dilia soge hame gidinai amo gidinama. Dilia hawa: amo aya: gaga: nomei gisi ganodini mae bugima.
4 Purify your inner beings and your minds for me. If you do not do that, my being angry with you [MTY] because of [all] the sins that you have committed will be like a fire that will be impossible to extinguish.”
Dilia Gousa: su amo dilia da Na, Hina Gode, Nama hamoi, amo bu dawa: le, mae fima. Dilia Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi dunu! Nama sia: sima! Amane hame hamosea, Na ougi da lalu agoane nemu. Bai dilia wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Na ougi da dunu enoga ha: ba: domu hamedene nenanumu.”
5 “Declare this [DOU] to [all the people in] Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea; blow the trumpets everywhere in the land [to warn the people]. Tell them that they should flee to the cities that have high walls around them.
Soge huluane amo ganodini, dalabede fulaboma! Ha: giwane wele sia: ma! Yuda soge amola Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima ilia da gasa bagade gagole moilai bai bagadega hehenama: ne sia: ma!
6 Shout to the people of Jerusalem, ‘Run away [now]! Do not delay, because I am about to cause you to experience a terrible disaster [DOU] that will come from the north.
Saione amoma doaga: ma: ne, logo olelema! Dilia esalusu gaga: ma: ne hobeama! Mae aligima! Hina Gode da se nabasu amola soge wadela: su hou gagoe (north) amoga gaguli maha.
7 [An army] that has destroyed [many] nations will attack you [like] [MET] a lion that comes out of its den [to attack other animals]. [The soldiers of that army] have taken down their tents and they are ready to march toward your land. They will destroy your cities and leave them without any people still living in them.’
Laione wa: me da ea wamoaligisu amoga manebe, amo defele fifi asi gala wadela: su dunu da manebe goea. E da Yuda wadela: lesimusa: manebe. Yuda soge moilai huluane da mugului dagoi ba: mu. Amo ganodini, dunu afae esalebe da hame ba: mu.
8 So, put on sackcloth/rough clothes and weep and beat your chests [to show that you are very sorry for what you have done], because Yahweh is still very angry with us.
Amaiba: le, wadela: i eboboi abula salawane, dima amola didigia: ma. Bai Hina Gode da Yuda fi ilima ougi bagade amola Ea ougi da hame gumi.
9 Yahweh said that at the time [he punishes you], the King of Judah and [all his] officials will be very afraid. The priests and the prophets will be terrified.
Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Amo esoha, hina bagade amola eagene ouligisu dunu da bagade beda: mu. Gobele salasu dunu amola balofede dunu da beda: ne, fofogadigimu.”
10 Then I replied, “Yahweh [my] God, you completely deceived the people by telling them that there would be peace in Jerusalem, but now [our enemies] [PRS] are ready to slaughter us with their swords!”
Amalalu, na da amane sia: i, “Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima dafawane ogogoi dagoi. Di da olofosu manebe sia: i dagoi, be ilia asogoa hedofama: ne, gegesu gobihei bagade galebe ba: sa.”
11 When that happens, [Yahweh] will say to the people of Jerusalem, [“A huge army will come to attack you]. They will not [be like a gentle breeze that] separates wheat from chaff. [They will be like] a very hot wind [that blows in] from the desert [MET].
Eso da manebe, amoga Yelusaleme da sia: nabimu. Amo sia: da hafoga: i sogega gia: i bagade fo agoane ilima doaga: ma: ne manebe. Asaboi fo da gisi fawane gaguli ahoa. Be amo fo da agoaiwane hame.
12 [They will be like] [MET] a strong blast that I will send. Now I am declaring that I will punish/destroy you.”
Amo fo da Hina Gode da sia: beba: le misunu, amola fo eno ea gasa bagade baligimu. Bai amo fo da Hina Gode Hisu da Ea dunu fi ilima se ima: ne fofada: musa: manebe ba: mu.
13 [Our enemies] are about to rush down on us; their chariots are like [SIM] whirlwinds. Their horses are faster than eagles. It will be terrible for us!
Ba: ma: i! Ha lai dunu da mu mobi agoane manebe. Ea gegesu ‘sa: liode’ da fo ononoi defele ba: sa. Amola ea hosi ea hehenasu da buhiba ea hagili ahoasu baligisa. Ninia da fisi dagoi! Nini da wadela: lesi dagoi!
14 [You people of] Jerusalem [APO], purify your hearts/inner beings, in order that Yahweh will rescue you. How long will you continue to think about [doing] evil things?
Yelusaleme! Dia gaga: su ba: ma: ne, dia dogo nigima: amo dodofema! Di da habogala wadela: i asigi dawa: su yolesima: bela: ?
15 From Dan [city in the far north] to the hills of Ephraim [a few miles/kilometers north of Jerusalem] messengers are proclaiming that disasters are coming.
Sia: adola ahoasu dunu da Da: ne moilai amola Ifala: ime agolo amoga misini, wadela: su sia: olelesa.
16 Tell this to the [people in other] nations [but also] announce it in Jerusalem: [Yahweh says], “An army is coming to Jerusalem from far away; they will shout [a battle-cry] against the cities in Judah.
Ilia da fifi asi gala ilima sisa: ma: ne misi. Amola Yelusaleme fi ilima ha lai da soge sedaganini manebe amo ilima sisasu olelemusa: misi. Amo ha lai dunu da Yuda soge moilai amoma ha lamu.
17 They will set up tents around Jerusalem like people set up temporary shelters [SIM] around a field [at harvest time]. That will happen because the people of Judah have rebelled against me.
Ilia da dunu da soge sosodo aligisu defele, Yelusaleme sisiga: mu. Bai Yelusaleme fi da Hina Gode Ema odoga: su. Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
18 You will be punished very severely; it will [be as though a sword] has stabbed your inner beings. But you are causing those things to happen to you because of the evil things that you have done.”
Yuda! Disu dia hamobeba: le amola dia esalusu hou amoba: le, amo se iasu da dima doaga: i. Dia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, amo se nabasu da dima misi. Dia wadela: i hou da gobihei agoane dia dogo soi dagoi.
19 I am extremely anguished/sad; the pain in my inner being is very severe. My heart beats wildly. But I cannot remain silent because I have heard [our enemies] blowing their trumpets to announce that the battle [against Judah will start immediately].
Na da se nabi dagoi. Amo se nabasu nabimu da nama hamedei! Na dogo! Na dogo da ilibu agoane hedolole dusa! Na da ouiya: mu gogolesa. Na da dalabede fulabosu naba, amola gegesu halasu naba.
20 Disasters will occur one after another until the whole land is ruined. Suddenly [all] our tents will be destroyed; [even] the curtains [inside the tents] will be ripped apart.
Wadela: su afae ba: lalu, wadela: su eno da hedolowane doaga: sa. Soge huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi. Hedolowane, ninia abula diasu da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: sa. Ilia abula da gadelale, fofonoboi dagoi ba: sa.
21 How long will this battle continue? How long will I continue to see the enemy battle flags and hear the sound of their trumpets being blown?
Gegesu da bagadewane heda: sa. Na da habowali seda amo gegesu ba: ma: bela: ? Dalabede ea fulabosu, na da naba. Amo na da habowali seda nabima: bela: ?
22 [Yahweh says], “My people are [very] foolish! They do not have a relationship with me. They are [like] [MET] stupid children who do not understand [anything]. They very cleverly do what is wrong, but they do not know how to do what is good.”
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu da gagaoui dagoi. Ilia da Na hame dawa: Ilia da gagaoui mano defele, asigi dawa: su hame gala. Ilia da wadela: i hou hamomusa: bagade dawa: su dunu agoai ba: sa. Be hou ida: iwane didili hamomusa: hamedafa dawa:”
23 [God gave me a vision in which] I saw that the earth was barren and without form. I looked at the sky, and there was no light there.
Na da osobo bagade ba: i. E da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: i. Na da mu ba: i. Be amoga da hadigi hame galu.
24 I looked at the mountains and hills, and they shook and moved from side to side.
Na da goumi ba: i. Ilia da fogoi amola agolo da la: ididili, la: ididili fogolalebe ba: i.
25 I looked and saw that there were no [more] people, and all the birds had flown away.
Na ba: loba, dunu fi huluane da hamedafa gala. Sio fi huluane amola da hagili asi dagoi ba: i.
26 I looked and saw that the fields that previously were fertile had become a desert. The cities were all ruined; they had all been destroyed by Yahweh because he was extremely angry.
Nasegagi soge huluane da hafoga: i soge agoane hamoi dagoi ba: i. Soge ea moilai bai bagade huluane da mugululi, wadela: lesi dagoi ba: i. Bai Hina Gode Ea ougi bagade da amo sogega dialebe ba: i.
27 This is what Yahweh is saying: “The entire land [of Judah] will be ruined, but I will not destroy it completely.
(Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi, “Osobo bagade huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Be Na da dafawanedafa hame wadela: lesimu.”)
28 I will do to my people what I said that I would do, and I will not change my mind. So [when that happens, it will be as though] the earth will mourn and the sky will become very dark.”
Osobo bagade da da: i diomu. Mu da gasimu. Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi, amola E da Ea asigi dawa: su amo hame afadenemu. E da amo hou hamomusa: dawa: i dagoi, amola E da Ea asigi dawa: su hame bu sinidigimu.
29 [When the people hear] the sound of the [enemy] army marching, [they will be terrified as] they flee from their cities. Some of them will find places to hide in the bushes, and others will run toward the mountains/hills [to escape being killed by their enemies]. All the cities [in Judah] will be abandoned; not one person will remain in them.
Dunu huluane da hosi amoga fila heda: i dunu amola dadi gagui dunu ilia halasu nabasea, hobeamu. Mogili da iwilaga hobeamu amola mogili da igi sogega hobeamu. Moilai huluane da dunu hamedafa esalebe ba: mu. Amola amo moilai ganodini, dunu da bu hamedafa fi dialumu.
30 So you who will surely be destroyed, [why are you doing the things that you are doing now]? Why are you wearing beautiful clothes and jewelry? Why are you putting paint around your eyes? Doing those things will not help you, because the people [in other countries that you think] love you [actually] despise you, and they will try to kill you.
Yelusaleme! Di da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu! Di da abuliba: le yoi abula gasisalabala? Dia da abuliba: le nina: hamoma: ne, igi noga: iwane legesa amola dia si amoga soa: legesala: ? Di da udigili nina: hamosa. Bai dima gamu dunu ilia da wali di higasa amola di medole legemusa: dawa: lala.
31 [It is as though] I already hear [the people in Jerusalem] crying very loudly, like [SIM] a woman cries when she is giving birth to her first child; she gasps for breath and pleads for someone to help her. [It is as though Jerusalem] is crying, “Something terrible is happening to me! They are about to murder me!”
Na da se nabasu wele sia: su, amo uda da ea magobo mano lamu gadenesa wele sia: be agoane wesa, amo nabi dagoi. Amo da fedege agoane, Yelusaleme ea mifo lamu hamedeiba: le, habe ha: ha: iya wele sia: nebe agoai nabi. E da ea lobo ilua: le amane sia: su, “Na da wadela: lesi dagoi. Ilia da na medole legemusa: manebe!”
