Jeremiah 50
1 Yahweh gave to [me, ] Jeremiah the prophet, a message about Babylon [city] and the country of Babylonia.
Hina Gode da Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade fi ilima Ea sia: ne iasu ilegei amo nama amane olelei,
2 [This is what Yahweh says]: “Proclaim [DOU] [a message] among the nations; do not withhold any of it; raise up a signal flag to announce that Babylon will be captured. [Its chief god] Marduk, [whose other name is] Bel, will be completely disgraced, and all the [other] statues and idols will be shattered.
“Fifi asi gala ilima olelema! Ha: giwane sisia: ma! Dawa: digima: ne hahamosu olelelalu, sisia: ma! Amo sia: mae wamolegema! Ba: bilone da dafai dagoi! Ea ogogosu ‘gode’ Madage da goudane sali! Ba: bilone loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ da gogosiasu lai dagoi! Ea wadela: idafa loboga hamoi ‘gode’ huluane da goudai dagoi!
3 [The army of] a nation will come from the north to attack Babylon and destroy the city very thoroughly, [with the result that] no one will live there [again]. Both people and animals will run away.”
Gagoe (north) esalebe fi da Ba: bilone fi ilima doagala: musa: amola hafoga: i soge defele hamoma: ne wadela: musa: , misi dagoi. Dunu amola ohe da hobeamu, amola dunu da amogawi bu hame esalebe ba: mu.”
4 “But [I, ] Yahweh, say that in the future, when that is about to happen, the people of Israel and the people of Judah will join together. They will be weeping and wanting [to worship] me, their God.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo eso doaga: sea, Isala: ili fi dunu amola Yuda fi dunu da gilisili, diginiwane, Na, ilia Gode, amo bu hogomusa: misunu.
5 They will inquire about the road to Jerusalem, [and then] they will start traveling [IDM] toward it. They will say [to each other], ‘We must return to Yahweh [again]!’ They will make an everlasting agreement with me that they will never forget.
Ilia da Saione Goumi amoga ahoasu logo Nama adole ba: mu. Amola ilia da amo logoga masunu. Ilia da eso huluane dialoma: ne Gousa: su Nama hamomu, amola ilia da amo hamedafa fimu.
6 My people have been [like] [MET] lost sheep. Their [leaders/rulers] have caused them [to abandon me] like [MET] shepherds who have allowed their sheep to wander in the hills and mountains. [My people are like] [MET] sheep that do not know the path to return to the sheepfold.
Na fi dunu da sibi amo ilia ouligisu dunu da noga: le hame ouligibiba: le, goumia fisi dagoi agoane ba: sa. Ilia da sibi agoane, goumi afae yolesili, eno goumia ahoasu, agoane asili, ilia da ilia sogebidafa amo gogolei dagoi.
7 All their enemies who found them attacked them. They said, ‘We did not sin [by attacking them], because they sinned against Yahweh; he is the one who provides what they need; he is the one to whom they should have remained faithful; he is the one whom their ancestors confidently expected [to help them].’
Nowa da ili ba: sea da ilima doagala: sa. Ilia ha lai da amane sia: sa, ‘Ilia da ilia Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, ninia da ilima doagala: mu da defea, wadela: i hame. Ilia aowa fi da Hina Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: i. Ilia amola da mae yolesili, Ema fa: no bobogemu da defea galu.’
8 [But now, I say to the leaders of my people], ‘Flee from Babylon! Leave the land of Babylonia! Be like [SIM] male goats [that go] in front of [the rest of] the flock; [lead my people back to their own land].
Isala: ili fi dunu! Ba: bilone soge yolesili, hobeama! Dilia degabo amo soge yolesima!
9 [Do that] because I am going to gather an army of great nations to the north [of Babylon]. They will join together to attack Babylon and will capture it. Their arrows will be like [SIM] skilled warriors that always hit what they aim at.
Na da gagoe (north) esalebe fi gilisisu ilima sia: beba: le, ilia da Ba: bilone amoga doagala: musa: misunu. Ilia da gegemusa: dadalele, Ba: bilone fi ilima doagala: le, hasalimu. Ilia da benea ahoasu dunu noga: idafa. Ilia dadiga gala: sea, giadofamu hame dawa:
10 Babylonia will be conquered, and those who conquer it will take away everything they want. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.’”
Ilia da Ba: bilone fi ilia liligi huluane gesowale lamu. Ilia hanai liligi ilia da udigili lamu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
11 “You people [of Babylon] who (plundered/stole everything valuable from) my chosen people, now you are very happy [DOU]. You run around joyfully like [SIM] a calf in a meadow, and are happy like [SIM] male horses are happy when they are neighing.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone fi dunu! Dilia da Na fi dunu ilima doagala: le, ilia liligi huluane gesowale lai dagoi. Dilia da hahawane ahoa. Fedege agoane, dilia da bulamagau amo gagoma ha: i manu lamusa: ososa: gisa o hosi amo da gogona: ahoabe, agoane ba: sa.
12 But [soon] your people will be very disgraced [DOU] [as a result of being conquered]. Your country will be the most insignificant nation; it will be a desert, a dry and deserted land.
Be dilia moilai bai bagade (Ba: bilone) da dafane gogosia: i dagoi ba: mu. Amola Ba: bilone fi da fifi asi gala amo ganodini gududafa dialebe ba: mu. Ba: bilone soge da wadela: i hafoga: i soge hamoi dagoi ba: mu.
13 Because [I, ] Yahweh, am angry [with you people of Babylon], I will cause your city to become completely deserted. All who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) because of the destruction there.
Bai Na da ougi bagadeba: le, dunu afae Ba: bilone soge ganodini esalebe da hame ba: mu. Ba: bilone da mugului dagoi dialebe ba: mu, amola nowa dunu da amo soge baligimusa: ahoasea, da bagadewane fofogadigimu.
14 [All you nations that surround Babylon, ] prepare to attack it! Tell your archers to shoot at their enemies; shoot all of your arrows at them [LIT], because [the people/leaders of Babylon have sinned against me, ] Yahweh.
Dilia dadi gagui dunu! Ba: bilone amoma doagala: musa: dadalema! E eale sisiga: ma! Dilia dadi huluane amoga, e gala: ma! Bai Ba: bilone fi da Na, Hina Gode, Nama wadela: le hamoi.
15 Shout [war-cries] against Babylon from all sides [of the city]. [The soldiers of] Babylon will surrender; the towers and walls will be torn down. It is [I, ] Yahweh, who will be getting revenge [on the people of Babylon], [so help me to] get revenge. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others!
Moilai bai bagade amo eale sisiga: le, gegemusa: halama! Wali Ba: bilone da fama: ne olei dagoi! Ea gagoi dobea da fili, mugului dagoi ba: sa. Na da Ba: bilone fi ilima dabe iaha. Amaiba: le, ha lai dunu! Ilima dabe ima! Ilia da eno dunuma hamoi, amo defele, ilima dabe bu ima.
16 Take away from Babylon those who plant [crops] and those who reap the harvests! Because of the swords carried by those who will attack [Babylon], [those people in Babylon who have come from other countries] should all run away, back to their own countries [DOU]!”
Amo soge ganodini, ha: i manu bugima: ne amola faima: ne logo mae doasima! Ga fi dunu Ba: bilone soge ganodini esala, ilia da dadi gagui wa: i Ba: bilone fi ilima doagala: musa: manebe, ilima beda: iba: le, hi sogega bu masunu.”
17 “The Israeli [people] are [like] [MET] sheep that have been scattered by lions. First [the army of] the King of Assyria defeated them. Then [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon smashed them.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi dunu da sibi amo laione wa: mega sefasi amola afagogoi dagoi, amo agoane ba: sa. Degabo, Asilia hina bagade da ilima doagala: i. Amasea, fedege agoane, Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese, da ilia gasa gagisu.
18 So this is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], say: ‘Now I will punish the King of Babylon and the people of his land, like I punished the King of Assyria.
Amaiba: le, Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da Asilia hina bagade ema se iasu defele, hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola ea fi ilima se imunu.
19 And I will bring the people of Israel back to their own land where they will eat [the food that grows] in the fields of the Carmel and Bashan [regions], and [the people in] the hilly areas of Ephraim and Gilead will have all they want to eat.
Na da Isala: ili fi ilia sogega buhagima: ne, logo doasimu. Ilia da ha: i manu amo da Gamele Goumia amola Ba: isia: ne sogega heda: lebe amo manu, amola ha: i manu bugi Ifala: ime soge amola Gilia: de sogega gala, amoga ilia hanaiga defele manu.
20 At that time, there will not be people in Israel and in Judah who [are still guilty for having] sinned [DOU], because I will forgive the small group of people whom I enable to still be alive.’”
Amo eso da doaga: sea, Isala: ili fi amola Yuda fi amo ganodini da wadela: i hou dialebe hame ba: mu. Bai dunu amo ilia esalusu Na da gaga: i, ilia wadela: i hou amola Na da gogolema: ne olofomu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
21 “[So, I, Yahweh, say to the enemies of Babylonia, ]‘Attack [the people who live in] the Merathaim [region] and the people in the Pekod [region of Babylonia]. Pursue them, kill them, and completely get rid of them, as I have commanded you to do.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Melada: ime fi amola Bigode fi (ela da Ba: bilone fi) ilima doagala: ma! Ilia huluane medole legele wadela: lesima! Na sia: i liligi huluane hamoma! Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
22 Shout your battle cries throughout the land; shout [when you are causing] great destruction.
Ba: bilone soge ganodini gegemusa: ha lasu da naba. Amola wadela: su bagade ba: sa.
23 [The army of Babylon is like] [MET] the most powerful hammer on the earth, but it will be completely shattered. Babylon will be deserted among the [other] nations.’
Ba: bilone da ‘ha: ma’ (hammer) agoane, fifi asi gala huluane fifima: ne fananu. Be wali amo ‘ha: ma’ da fifilasi dagoi. Ema doaga: i hou ba: beba: le, fifi asi gala huluane da bagadewane fofogadigisa.
24 You [people of] Babylon, [listen, ] [because] I have set a trap for you; you will be caught [in that trap], because you fought against me.
Ba: bilone fi! Dilia da nama gegenanu. Be wali dilia da sani amo Na da dili sa: ima: ne gei, amoga sa: i dagoi. Dilia da mae dawa: iwane amoga sa: i dagoi.
25 [It is as though] I have opened the place where I store my weapons, and I have brought out [all] the weapons [to use against the people with whom] I am angry. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have [a lot of] work to do [to punish] the people of Babylonia.
Na da Na gegesu liligi lidiligalei diasu amo doasili amola Na da ougiba: le, amo liligi gagui dagoi. Bai Na, Ouligisu Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da Ba: bilone sogega hawa: hamomu galaiou.
26 [So, you enemies of Babylonia, ] come from distant lands and attack it. Break open the places where they store the grain. Crush the walls of the city and the houses and pile up [the rubble like] [SIM] heaps of grain. Destroy everything; do not leave anything that is not destroyed.
La: ididili huluane amoga Ba: bilonema doagala: ma! Ea widi amola gagoma legesu diasu fima! Lai liligi amo widi lelegela heda: i agoane lelegela heda: ma! Soge wadela: ma! Liligi huluanedafa wadela: lesima!
27 Destroy all the [young men who are as strong as] [MET] bulls; take them to where you will slaughter them. It will be terrible for them, because it will be time for them to be punished.
Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu huluane medole legema! Medole legema! Ba: bilone dunu da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu! Ilima se iasu eso da doaga: i dagoi.
28 Listen to the people who have fled and escaped from Babylon while they tell in Jerusalem how [I, ] Yahweh, have gotten revenge against those who destroyed my temple [in Jerusalem].
(Mugululi asi dunu da Ba: bilone soge yolesili, hobeale, Yelusaleme diasuga doaga: sa. Ilia da sia: ne iasu amo ninia Hina Gode da Ba: bilone dunu ilima dabe i dagoi - bai ilia da Ea Debolo diasu wadela: lesi - amo ilia da olelesa.)
29 Summon archers [DOU] to come to attack Babylon; surround the city in order that no one will escape. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others [DOU], because they have defied [me, ] the Holy One of the Israeli [people].
Dadi gagui dunu ilima ilia Ba: bilone fi doagala: ma: ne sia: ma! Dunu huluane amo da dadiga gala: su dawa: , amo gadili asunasima! Moilai sisiga: le, dunu afae mae hobeama: ne, logo huluane ga: ma! Ba: bilone fi ilima dabe ima. Ilia hou eno fi ilima hamoi, amo defele ilima hamoma! Bai ilia da Na, Isala: ili ilia Hadigi Gode, Nama gasa fili hamoi.
30 The young men of Babylon will fall in the streets; all their soldiers will be killed in one day.
Amaiba: le, ilia ayeligi dunu da moilai logoga medole legei dagoi ba: mu. Amola amo esoga, ilia dadi gagui dunu da medole legei dagoi ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
31 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘You arrogant/proud people, it is now the time; it is the time [DOU] when I will punish you.
Ba: bilone! Di da gasa fi hou amoga nabai gala. Amaiba: le, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da dima ha lai hamoi dagoi. Na da dima se imunu eso ilegei, amo da doaga: i dagoi.
32 [Your land is full of] proud people, but you will stumble and fall, and no one will lift you up [again]. I will light a fire in the cities in Babylonia that will burn up everything that is nearby.’
Dia hidale hamosu gasa fi da sadenane dafamu. Amola, dunu eno di wa: legadolesimu hamedafa ba: mu. Na da dia moilai bai bagade huluane laluga ulagimu. Amola liligi huluane sisiga: le dialebe da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.”
33 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, also say this: ‘The people of Israel and Judah were (oppressed/treated cruelly); those who captured them guarded them carefully and would not allow them to leave [Babylon].
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili fi amola Yuda fi da banenesiwane esalebe ba: sa. Dunu amo da ili gagulaligi, da ili ha: giwane sosodo aligisa. Amola ilia da ili se iasu udigili hawa: hamosu logo doasimusa: hame dawa:
34 But I am strong, and I will free them. I am the Commander of the armies of angels; I will defend my people and enable them [to return to] their land where they will have peace, but the people of Babylonia will not have peace.
Be ilia gaga: su dunu da gasa bagadewane esala. Ea dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa. Hisu da ilimagale gegemu. E da osobo bagade fifi asi gala ilima olofosu iasimu. Be E da Ba: bilone fi ilima bidi hamosu iasimu.”
35 [I will send enemy soldiers carrying] swords [PRS] to strike the people of Babylonia; they will strike the officials and wise men and all the [other] people who live in Babylon.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone soge da bogosu ba: ma! Ea fi dunu amola ouligisu dunu amola bagade dawa: su dunu da bogosu ba: mu.
36 They will strike their false prophets with swords and they will become foolish. They will strike the [strongest] warriors of Babylonia, and they will all be terrified.
Ea ogogosu balofede dunu da bogosu ba: mu. Ilia da gagaoui dunu. Ea dadi gagui dunu da bogosu ba: mu. Ilia da bagadewane beda: i.
37 They will strike their horses and chariots and the foreigners who are in the army of Babylonia, and they will [all] become [as weak] as [MET] women. They will seize [MTY] all the valuable things there in Babylon and take them away.
Ea hosi amola sa: liode huluane wadela: lesima! Ea ga fi muni lama: ne hawa: hamosu dadi gagui dunu da bogosu ba: mu. Ilia da gasa hamedafa ba: sa. Ba: bilone liligi ida: iwane gala huluane wadela: lesima! Huluane gesowale lale dagoma!
38 [I] cause the streams to become dry. [I will do all those things] because the [entire] land [of Babylonia] is filled with idols, and those [horrible] idols have caused the people [who worship them] to become crazy.
Ea sogega esoi bagade iasima. Ea hano huluane hafoga: ma! Ba: bilone soge ganodini da loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ bagohame. Ea fi dunu da ilima beda: iba: le, gagaoui agoane ba: sa.
39 [Soon only] hyenas and [other] wild creatures will live there; and it will be a place where owls live. People will never live there again; it will be uninhabited forever [DOU].
Amaiba: le, Ba: bilone soge ganodini, Fio liligi amola wadela: i a: silibu amola ledo hamoi sio bagohame ba: mu. Dunu fi da amo soge ganodini hamedafa esalumu.
40 [I will destroy Babylon] like I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns; no one will [ever] live there [again] [DOU].
Musa: hemonega, Na da Sodame amola Goumola amola amo sisiga: le dialebe moilai fonobahadi huluane amo wadela: lesi dagoi. Amo hou defele da Ba: bilone fi ilima doaga: mu. Dunu afae da amo ganodini wali amola eso huluane hame esalebe ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
41 Look! A [great] army will come from the north. A great nation far away with many kings is preparing [to attack you people of Babylon].
Gagoe (north) soge amoga fi bagadedafa da gegemusa: manebe. Hina bagade bagohame da gegemusa: momagesa.
42 Their [army] has bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. [As] they ride along on [their] horses, the sound of the horses’ hooves is like [SIM] the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you, you people of Babylon.
Ilia da ilia dadi amola gegesu gobihei gagui dagoi. Ilia da nimi bagade hame asigi dunu. Ilia da hosi da: iya fila heda: le ahoasea, ilia ha lasu da hano wayabo bagade ea gafululi fugala: sa agoane naba. Ilia da Ba: bilone fi ilima doagala: musa: momagei dagoi.
43 The King of Babylon says, “[I] have heard reports about the enemy [approaching]; [so I am very frightened, with the result that] I am weak. I am [very fearful, and] anguished/worried, like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.”
Ba: bilone hina bagade da ilia manebe sia: nabasea, ea lobo da bodola: le gudusa. E da uda da mano lalelegemu gadenesea se naba, amo defele e da se naba.
44 I, [Yahweh], will come to Babylon [suddenly] like a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are eating] the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Babylonia from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them [a leader] whom I will choose; [I will do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can say that what I have done is not right. No ruler can [RHQ] oppose me.
Laione wa: me da Yodane Hano bega: iwila amo yolesili, bulamagau ha: i manu mola: ya: i gisi soge amoga manebe, amo defele Na, Hina Gode da Ba: bilone dunu ilima doagala: musa: misunu.

45 Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Babylon [city] and the rest of Babylonia: [even] the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely destroy the people [MET] who live there.
Amaiba: le, Na da Ba: bilone soge amola ea fi dunu ilima hamoma: ne ilegesu amo nabima! Ilia huluane amola ilia mano da ga hiouginana asi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, dunu huluane da bagadewane beda: mu.
46 When Babylon is destroyed, the noise will be extremely loud, with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard by the [people of other] nations.’”
