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]:

Hagi Isipi mopafima me'nea kumatamina, Migdolima, Tapanesima, Memfisine, Patrosi kazigama hu'za nemani'naza Juda vahe'ma zamasamisia nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne.

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.

Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Jerusalemi kumate'ene, Juda mopafima me'nea kuma taminte'ma knazama atrogeno'ma eme zamazeri havizama hu'neana, ko keta antahita hu'naze. Hagi antahiho, menima kesazana ana kuma tamimo'a havizantfa hazageno, anampina magore hu'za vahera omani'naze.

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].

Na'ankure zamagra kefo avu'ava'ma hazazamo Nagrira nazeri narimpa nehe'za, zamagrane, tamagrane, tamafahe'zanena keta antahita osu'naza anumzaraminte mnanentake zana ofa kremna vunte vavama huta vu'nazagu anara hu'noe.

4 Many times I sent my prophets who served me, to say to them, “Do not do those abominable things that I hate!”

Hagi Nagra knane knane eri'za vaheni'a kasampa vahera huzmantoge'za tamagritega e'za, amanage hu'naze. Nagri'ma nave'nosia hi'mnage avu'ava zana osiho hu'za eme tamasami'naze.

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.

Hianagi zamagra ana nanekerera zamagesa ante'za nontahi'za, kefo avu'ava zama nehu'za havi anumzantaminte'ma ofama nehaza zanena atre'za zamefira huomi'naze.

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.’

E'ina'ma hazageno'a Nagrira tusi narimpa ahege'na Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumataminte'ene Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpinena narimpa ahe'zana eri kaha hutre'na ana kumatamina eri haviza hutrogeno ka'ma koka meno eno ama knarera menina ehanati'ne.

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?

Hagi menina Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Nahigeta tamagra'a tamavatera hazenkea huta knazana avreta ne-eta venene naga'ene a'nanene naga'ene mofavre naga'ene, ne'onse mofavre naga'enena fanane hanageno Juda vahera omani'sazegura anara nehaze?

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.

Hagi nahigeta tamagra Isipi mopafima emanineta tamazanteti'ma avako'ma huta tro'ma haza zamo'ene, ru anumzantaminte'ma ofama hazazamo'a Nagrira nazeri narimpa ahe'naze? Ana hu'nagu tamagra'a tamazeri havizantfa hanage'za, ru moparega vahe'mo'za neramage'za kizazokago ke huneramante'za, ha' vahezamima sifnagema huzmante'nakura, Juda vahe'mo'zama havizama hu'nazaza huta haviza hiho hu'za huzamantegahaze.

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?

Hagi tamagehe'zane, Juda kini vahe'ene a'ne zamimo'zane, tamagrane a'ne tamimo'zanema, Juda mopafine Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpima hu'naza havi avu'ava zankura ko tamage kani'nefi?

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.’

Hagi meninena tamagra tamavufga anteramita Nagri agorga nomanita, tamagri'ene tamafahe'inema zami'noa kasegene tra keni'anena amagera onte'naze.

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.

E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra navugosa rukrahe hu'na hara huneramantena knazana tami'na Juda vahera maka tamazeri haviza huvagaregahue.

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.

Hagi Juda vahe'ma osi'ama mani'naza naga'ma, Isipi mopafi vanunema hu'za hanavemati'za e'naza vahera zamazeri tregahue. Ana hanuge'za mago'a bainati kazinteti zamahe nefrisage'za, mago'a ne'zanku hu'za frigahaze. Hagi zamagine vaheteti vuno zamagima omane vahete'ma vanige'za ana maka vahera bainati kazinteti zamahe nefrisage'za mago'a ne'zanku hu'za frigahaze. Ana hu'za ana maka Isipi mopafi fri hana hanage'za, vahe'mo'zama nezamage'za zamanogu nehu'za, kiza zokago ke hunezamante'za, vahe'ma sifnama huzmante'nakura Juda vahe'mo'zama hu'nazaza huta haviza hiho hu'za hugahaze.

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.

Hagi Isipi mopafima umani'naza vahera, Jerusalemi kumapima mani'naza vahe'ma hu'noaza hu'na bainati kazinteti'ene, zamagatonto zanteti'ene, krireti'ene hu'na zamazeri haviza hugahue.

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.’”

Ana hanuge'za osi'a Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima emani'naza vahepintira magomo'e huno ana knazana agatereno vuno, ete umanisunema hu'zama zamavesi zamavesi'ma nehaza Juda moparera uomanigahaze. Hianagi anampintira osi'a naga'mozage ete vugahaze.

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:

Hagi anante maka vene'nemo'zane, a'nezmimo'zama ru anumzante'ma mananentake zama kre mnama vu ofama nehage'zama antahi'naza vene'neramine, Isipi mopafima Patrosi kumate'ma nemaniza Juda vahe'mo'zanena eme atru hute'za Jeremaiana amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze.

16 “You are saying that [MTY] Yahweh gave messages to you, but we will not pay any attention to your messages!

Kagra Ra Anumzamofo agifi eme neramasamuema hunka nehana nanekea tagra ontahigahune.

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.

Hianagi tagra tamagerfa huta mikazama hugahunema huta huvempama hu'nona nanekere otineta, monafi kuini a'mofonte mananentake zantamima kre mnavu ofa nehuta, waini tinema tagitreta ofa hugahune. Tagehe'za e'inahu avu'ava hu'nazankita tagrane, kini vahetimo'zane, kva vahetimo'zanena Judama me'nea kumatamimpine, Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpinena ofa hu'none. Ana hu'nonanagi ana knafina ne'zankura atupara osuta knare huta nemanita, hazenkea e'ori'none.

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.”

Hianagi tagrama monafi kuini ate'ma mananentake zama kre manama ovuta, waini tima tagi tre ofama osu'nana, tagra maka zankura atupa nehunkeno, mago'a bainati kazinteti tahe nefrizageta, mago'a ne'zanku huta fri'none.

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!”

Hagi anankema haza agofetura a'nemo'za hu'za, tagrama monafi kuini a'te'ma mananentake zantamima kre manavu ofama nehuta, waini tima tagi tre ofama nehuta, agri avugosama me'nea kekiramima tro huta waini tinema tagita ofama hu'nonana, tagra'a antahi zantetira osu'nonanki nerave'za hu izo hazageta anara hu'none.

20 Then I said to all the men and women who had answered me,

Hagi anante Jeremaia'a ana maka veamokizmi nanekerera amanage huno ke nona huzmante'ne.

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!

Tamagrama antahi'zana tamagrane tamagehe'zane, kini vahetamimo'zane, kva vahe'tamimo'zane, maka vahe'motanema Juda mopafima me'nea kumatamimpine Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpinema, mana nentake zantamima kre mnavu ofama hu'naza avu'ava zankura, tamagrama antahi'zana Ra Anumzamofo antahi'zampina omanegeno hago agekanine huta nehazafi?

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.

Hagi tamagrama hu'naza havi avu'ava zane, kasrino hi'mnage'ma hu'nea avu'ava zanema hu'naza zankura Ra Anumzamo'a avua anteno kegara osuno tusi avesra huramante'ne. E'ina hu'negu mopatamimo'a sifnafi megeno, mago zana omaneno ka'ma koka fore higeno, anampina magore huno vahera omanitfa higeno, meno eno ama knarera ehanati'ne.

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.”

Na'ankure tamagra mananentake zantamima kre mnavu ofaramima nehuta, Ra Anumzamofo avufi kumi nehuta, Ra Anumzamofo nanekea amagera nonteta, agri kasegene tra kenena rutagre'naze. Ana nehuta Agri eri'zama keama'ma osaza zanku huno knazana atregeno eme tamazeri haviza higeno, eno ama knarera ehanati'ne.

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.

Hagi anante Jeremaia'a maka vahe'ene a'nene naga'enena amanage huno zamasami'ne. Maka Isipi mopafima mani'naza Juda vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'ma hia nanenkea antahiho.

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].’

Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagrane a'nene naga'tamimo'zanena huta, tagra'a tagipinti'ma huvempama hu'nona nanekere amage antegahune nehuta amanage hu'naze.

E'ina hu'nazagu tamagra menina vuta nazano huvempama hu'naza zana amage anteta anazana hiho.

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.”

Hianagi Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima nemaniza vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hianki antahiho, Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na hankavenentake nagifi huvempa huankino, Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima nemaniza vahe'mota Nagri nagifina magore huta huvempa huta, Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamofo agifi huvempa nehune huta osutfa hugahaze.

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.

Hagi antahiho! Nagra navua ante'na zamagegahuanagi, knare zama esanigu anara osugahuanki, knazama esanigu navua ante'na kegahue. Hagi Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima nemaniza vahera, bainati kazinteti zamahe nefrisage'za, mago'a ne'zanku hu'za frigahaze. Ana hume nevu'za ana maka ome fri vagare'za omanitfa hugahaze.

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.’

Hagi ana hina osi'a naga'ma bainati kazinteti'ma zamahe ofrisaza vahe'mo'za Isipi mopa atre'za ete vu'za, Juda mopafi umanigahaze.

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.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagrama ama ana mopafima mani'nesage'nama tamazeri havizama hanua zamofo avame'zana meni tamaveri hugahue. E'ina'ma hanugeta tamagrama keta antahitama hanazana, Nagrama tamazeri haviza hugahuema hu'na hu'noa nanekemo'a, tamagerfa huno efore hugahie.

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].

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Antahiho! Juda kini ne' Zedekaiama avre'na, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesama ha'ma hunenteno ahe frinaku'ma nehia ne'mofo azampima avrente'noaza hu'na, Isipi kini ne' Hofrana avre'na, agri ha' vahe'mo'zama ahenaku'ma nehaza vahe zamazampi avrentegahue.
