Jeremiah 44
1 [This is] the message that Yahweh gave me concerning the Jews who were living in [northern] Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpenes, and Memphis [cities], and in the Pathros [region in southern Egypt]:
Hina Gode da nama na da Isala: ili dunu Idibidi soge ganodini esala (Migidole amola Daha: banisi amola Memefisi moilai bai bagade amola Idibidi gagoe (south) soge) ilima sia: ma: ne sia: i.
2 “This is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], say: ‘You saw the disaster that I caused [the people in] Jerusalem and the other towns in Judah to experience. Those towns are now ruined and deserted.
Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilila: da gugunufinisi amo Na da Yelusaleme amola Yuda moilai huluane amoma iasu, dilia da ba: i dagoi. Ilia da wali mugului dagoi dialebe amola amo ganodini dunu esalebe hame ba: sa.
3 [That happened] because I was extremely angry with them on account of their being very wicked. They burned incense to other gods and worshiped them. They were gods that you [previously] did not know about, and your ancestors also [did not know about them].
Bai amo dunu fi da Na ougima: ne, wadela: le hamoi. Ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima gobele salasu amola eno ‘gode’ amo dilia amola dilia aowalalia da ilima hamedafa nodone sia: ne gadosu, amo ilia hawa: hamosu hamonanu.
4 Many times I sent my prophets who served me, to say to them, “Do not do those abominable things that I hate!”
Na da Na hawa: hamosu balofede dunu dilima asunasilalu. Amola ilia da dilima amo hou Na da higa: i, amo maedafa hamoma: ne sia: i.
5 But my people would not pay any attention [DOU] [to what I said to them]. They would not turn away from their wicked behavior, or stop burning incense to [worship/honor] other gods.
Be dilia da ilia sia: hame nabi, amola hame dawa: digisu. Dilia wadela: i eno ‘gode’ ilima gobele salasu hou amo yolesimu hame dawa: i.
6 So I poured out my anger [MTY] on them. I punished people on the streets of Jerusalem and on the [other] towns in Judah. It caused those towns to be ruined and deserted, and they are still like that.’
Amaiba: le, Na ougi bagade Na da Yelusaleme logo amola Yuda moilaiga sogadigi. Na da amo laluga ulagi. Ilia da mugului dagoi ba: i. Dunu da amo beda: iwane fofogadigili ba: i, amola ilia da wali amaiwane diala.
7 So now [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], ask you: ‘Why are you causing yourselves to experience these disasters? [Do you not realize that because of what you are doing], soon there will be no more men or women or children or infants left among you [who have come here to Egypt] from Judah?
Amaiba: le, Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da wali dilima adole ba: sa. Dilia da abuliba: le, dilila: wadela: lesima: ne, wadela: i hou hamosala: ? Dilia da dilia dunu amola uda amola mano da dilila: wadela: su lamu hanabela: ? Amasea, dilia dunu afae esalebe hame ba: mu.
8 Why are you [RHQ] provoking me and causing me to be very angry by burning incense to the idols that you have made here in Egypt? [If you continue doing this, ] you will destroy yourselves, and you will cause yourselves to be people whom all the nations on the earth will curse and despise.
Dilia da abuliba: le Na ougima: ne, loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadobela: ? Amola ogogosu ‘gode’ Idibidi soge amoga dilia da esaloma: ne misi amo ganodini gala, ilima gobele salasu hamosala: ? Dilia da dilila: wadela: ma: ne hamosala: ? Dilia da fifi asi gala huluanedafa da dili higamu amola dilia dio amoga gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemu, amo hanabela: ?
9 Have you forgotten [how I punished] your ancestors for the wicked things that they did, and [how I punished] the kings and queens of Judah for what they did, and you and your wives for the sins that you committed in the streets of Jerusalem and [the other towns] in Judah?
Dilia, dilia uda, Yuda hina bagade, ilia uda amola dilia aowalalia huluane da Yuda moilai amola Yelusaleme logo amo ganodini, wadela: i hou bagade hamonanu. Amo dilia da gogoleila: ?
10 Up until this day you have not humbled yourselves or revered me. You have not obeyed the laws and decrees [DOU] that I gave to you and your ancestors.’
Be dilia eso huluane amola wali dilia hou gogosiane hame fofonobosu. Dilia da Nama hame nodosu amola sema amo Na da dilima amola dilia aowalalima i, amoma hame fa: no bobogesu.
11 Therefore, this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], say: ‘I am determined to cause all of you to experience disasters and to get rid of every one of you.
Amaiba: le, Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da dilima ha lale, Yuda fi huluane wadela: lesimu.
12 [You] people from Judah who have survived were determined to come and live here in Egypt. So I will get rid of all of you here in Egypt. Every one of you will die, including those who are important and those who are not important. [Some of] you will be killed by [your enemies’] swords, [some will die] from famines. You will become [people whom others] curse, be horrified about, and make fun of.
Amola Yuda fi dunu hame bogoi esalebe, ilia da Idibidi sogega masunu hanai. Ilia huluane wadela: lesima: ne, Na da logo doasimu. Ilia huluane, fonobahadi amola bagade, da Idibidi soge ganodini gegesu o ha: i bagade amoga bogogia: mu. Dunu eno da amo hou beda: iwane fofogadigili ba: mu. Ilia da Yuda fi dunu higamu amola ilia dio amoga gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemu.
13 I will punish you here in Egypt like I punished [others in] Jerusalem, [some of whom were killed] by [their enemies’] swords and [some of whom] died from famines or diseases.
Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima gegesu amola ha: i bagade amola olosu amoga se iasu. Amo defele, Na da Yuda fi Idibidi sogega esala, ilima se imunu.
14 You people who did not die in Judah fled here to Egypt, hoping that [some day] you would return to Judah. But very few [HYP] of you will survive and escape. You are longing/wanting to remain alive and return to Judah, but only a very few of you will escape and be able to do that.’”
Yuda fi dunu esalebe amo da Idibidi sogega esaloma: ne misi, huluanedafa da bogogia: mu. Ilia da Yuda sogega buhagima: ne hanai. Be dunu afae da hame buhagimu. Be mugululi asi dunu bagahamedafa da buhagimu.”
15 Then a large group of the people who had started to live in northern Egypt and southern Egypt, including all the men who knew that their wives had been burning incense to other gods, and all the women who were standing there, said this to me:
Amalalu, dunu huluane (ilia uda da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima gobele salasu hamosu, amo ilia dawa: i) amola uda huluane amogawi lelu, amola Isala: ili fi dunu Idibidi gagoe (south) soge ganodini esalu, dunu gilisisu bagade, da nama amane sia: i,
16 “You are saying that [MTY] Yahweh gave messages to you, but we will not pay any attention to your messages!
“Ninia da dia sia: amo di da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le ninima sia: i, amo hame nabimu.
17 We will certainly do everything that we said that we would do. We will burn incense to [worship our goddess Astarte, ] the Queen of Heaven, and we will pour out offerings [of wine] to her, just like we and our ancestors and our kings and [their] officials have [always] done in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah. At that time, we had plenty of food, and we were prosperous and we did not have any troubles.
Ninia da ninia musa: sia: i defele hamomu. Ninia da ninia uda ‘gode’ (hebene hina bagade Uda) ema gobele salasu hamomu. Ninia aowalalia, ninia hina bagade amola ninia ouligisu dunu da Yuda moilai amola Yelusaleme logo amo ganodini, ema nodoma: ne, waini hano iasu sogadigisu. Amo defele ninia da hamomu. Amo esoga ninia da bagade gaguiwane, hame ha: i amola bidi hamosu hame ba: i.
18 But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and giving her offerings [of wine], we have had many troubles, and [some of our people] have been killed by [our enemies’] swords and [some have died] from hunger.”
Be ninia da Hebene hina bagade Uda ema gobele salasu amola waini hano sogadigisu hou amo yolesiba: le, ninia wali hame gaguiwane ba: sa, amola ninia fi dunu da gegesu amola ha: i bagade amoga bogogia: lala.”
19 And [the women said], “[Furthermore], we burned incense and poured out [wine] offerings to the Queen of Heaven, and we also made small cakes that resembled her idol, to offer to her. But our husbands certainly knew about [and approved of] [RHQ] what we were doing!”
Amola uda ilia amane sia: i, “Ninia da agi ga: gi (Hebene hina bagade Uda ea ba: su agoane) gobele, amola ema gobele salasu amola waini hano iasu sogadigisu amo hamobeba: le, ninia lagoalali da ninia hamobe hahawane ba: su.”
20 Then I said to all the men and women who had answered me,
Amalalu, na da dunu amola uda huluane amo da nama agoane bu adole i, ilima amane sia: i,
21 “Do not think [RHQ] that Yahweh did not know that you and your ancestors and your kings and their officials and all the other people in Judah were burning incense to [worship/honor] idols in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah!
“Dilia adi dawa: bela: ? Gobele salasu hou amo dilia amola dilia aowalalia, amola dilia hina bagade dunu amola dilia ouligisu dunu amola soge dunu huluane da Yuda moilai amola Yelusaleme logo amo ganodini iasu, amo Hina Gode da hame ba: bela: ? E da amo gogoleila: ? Hame mabu!
22 It was because Yahweh could no longer endure/tolerate your wicked actions and the detestable things that you were doing that he caused your land to be [a place whose name people say when they] curse someone, a land that is ruined and which has no one living in it. And your land is still like that.
Wali eso dilia soge da wadela: lesi dagoi diala. Dunu eno da amo beda: iwane fofogadigili ba: sa, amola soge ea dio amoga ilia da gagabusu aligima: ne ilegesa. Bai Hina Gode da dilia wadela: i hou hamobe amo bu ba: mu higasu.
23 It is because you burned incense to [worship/honor] idols and committed [other] sins against Yahweh that you experienced [all] those disasters. It is because you have not obeyed him or his laws and decrees and commandments.”
Dilia da ba: sa! Wali se nabasu amola gugunufinisisu da dilima doaga: i dagoi. Bai dilia da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima gobele salasu hou hamosu amola Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi. Dilia da Ea hamoma: ne sia: i huluane amoma hame fa: no bobogesu.”
24 [Then] I said to all of them, including the women, “All you [people of] Judah who are [here] in Egypt, listen to this message from Yahweh.
25 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says [to you Israeli men]: ‘You and your wives have said that you would continue to do what you promised, to burn incense and pour out wine to the [goddess whom you call] the Queen of Heaven. [And you have proved by your actions that you intend to continue to do that]. So go ahead and continue doing what you have promised to do [for her].’
Na da dunu huluane olelei (amola uda ilima baligili olelei), amo Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da Yuda fi Idibidi soge ganodini esala ilima amane sia: sa, “Dilia amola dilia uda da ‘hebene hina bagade Uda’ ema sia: dafawane ilegei. Dilia da ema gobele salimu amola waini hano iasu sogadigima: ne dafawane ilegesu, amola amo ilegesu dilia da dafawane hamoi. Defea! Dilia ilegesu mae yolesima! Hamoma!
26 But now, all you people from Judah who are [now] living [here] in Egypt, listen to this message from Yahweh. He says, ‘I have solemnly declared, using my great name, that [soon] none of [you] people from Judah who are here in Egypt will ever again use my name. [There will be none of you who, when you solemnly promise to do something, ] will ever again say, “[I will do it as surely] as Yahweh lives.”
Be wali, Na, Hina Gode, da Na Dio Bagadedafa amoga dilia Isala: ili dunu Idibidi soge ganodini esala dilima dafawane sia: ilegei dagoi. Amo nabima! Na da dilia logo ga: i dagoi. Dilia da bu ‘na da Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Esala amo Ea Dioba: le sia: ilegesa’ amo bu hamedafa sia: mu.
27 Because I will be watching over you, not to cause good things to happen to you but to cause things to happen that will harm you. [Almost] everyone [HYP] from Judah who is [now here] in Egypt will experience being [killed by their enemies’] swords, or dying from famine.
Dilia huluane hame gaguiwane, wadela: lesima: ne, Na da logo doasimu. Dilia huluane da gegesu o olosu amoga bogogia: mu. Dunu afae esalebe hame ba: mu.
28 [Only a very] few [of you] will not die, and will return to Judah. [When that happens], all those who came to Egypt will find out whose words (were true/were fulfilled), theirs or mine.’
Be afae afae da mae bogole, Idibidi fisili, Yuda sogega buhagimu. Amasea, dunu hame bogoi esalebe, ilia da Na sia: da dafawane amola ilia sia: da ogogosu, amo dawa: digimu.
29 And Yahweh [also] says, ‘I will do something that will prove to you that everything that I have said will happen, and that I will punish you [here] in this place.
Na, Hina Gode, da Na sia: i liligi (amo soge ganodini Na da dilima se imunu amola wadela: su iasimu) dilia dafawane dawa: ma: ne, Na da dawa: digima: ne olelesu dilima imunu.
30 I will cause Hophra, the king of Egypt, to be captured by his enemies who want to kill him, just like I caused King Zedekiah of Judah to be captured by [the soldiers of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.’” [And that is what happened several years later].
Amo da Na Yuda hina bagade Sedegaia amo ea ha lai, Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese (e da Sedegaia medole legemu hanai) ema i - amo defele Na da Idibidi hina bagade Hofala ea ha lai dunu (ilia e medole legemu hanai) ilima imunu.”
