< Jeremiah 51 >
1 This is what Yahweh says: “I will inspire/motivate [an army] to destroy Babylon [like a powerful] wind [MET], and [also] to destroy the people of Babylonia.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Ba: bilone soge amola ea fi dunu ilima wadela: su fo iasimu.
2 I will send a foreign army to come to get rid of Babylonia [like a strong wind] that blows away chaff. They will attack from every direction on that day of disaster.
Na da ga fi amo Ba: bilonema doagala: musa: asunasimu. Ilia da fo da bioi gisi amo fulabole gaguli ahoabe defele, Ba: bilone wadela: lesimu. Amo wadela: su eso da doaga: sea, ilia da la: ididili, la: ididili doagala: sea, soge da liligi hamedafa ba: mu.
3 [I will tell them, ] ‘Do not allow the archers [of Babylon] to [have time to] put on their armor or draw their bows. Do not spare the young men of Babylon. Completely destroy their army.’
Hedolo doagala: ma! Ba: bilone dunu da ilia ga: su gasisa: lasa: besa: le amola dadiga gala: sa: besa: le, hedolo doagala: ma! Ayeligi dunuma mae asigima! Dadi gagui wa: i huluane gugunufinisima!
4 Their soldiers will fall dead in Babylonia; [they will die after being] wounded in the streets.
Ilia da gala: le gagai, moilai bai bagade ilia logo ganodini bogogia: mu.
5 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the Israelis’ God, have not abandoned Israel and Judah. [Even though] their land was full of people who sinned against [me], the Holy God of Israel, I am still their God.
Isala: ili fi dunu amola Yuda fi dunu da Na, Isala: ili Hadigi Godedafa, amoma wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Be Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da ela hame yolesi.
6 [You people of Israel and Judah, ] flee from Babylon! Run away from there! Do not stay there and be killed when I punish [the people of Babylon]! It will be the time when I will get revenge; I will do to them what they deserve.
Isala: ili dunu amola Yuda dunu! Ba: bilone soge yolesili, dilia esalusu gaga: ma: ne, hobeama! Ba: bilone da wadela: le hamobeba: le, dilia bogosu ba: mu da defea hame galebe. Na da wali Ba: bilone fi ilima dabe iaha amola ea wadela: i houba: le, se iasu iaha.
7 Babylon has been [like] [MET] a gold cup in my hand, [a cup that is full of wine] that caused people all over the earth [who drank some of it to become] drunk. [It is as though] the [rulers of] the nations drank the wine from Babylon, and it caused them to become crazy.
Ba: bilone da Na lobo ganodini gouliga hamoi faigelei agoane ba: i. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala da amoga nabeba: le, feloale agoane hamoi. Ilia da amo ea waini hano nabeba: le, dadousu hamoi dagoi.
8 But suddenly Babylon will be conquered. [You foreigners who live in Babylon, ] weep for its people. Give them medicine for their wounds; perhaps they can be healed.”
Be wali Ba: bilone da hedolowane dafai dagoi amola wadela: lesi dagoi ba: sa. Ea dafabeba: le, didigia: ma! Ea fa: ginisi uhima: ne, manoma lamu.
9 We [foreigners] would have [tried to] heal them, but [now] they cannot be healed. [So we will not try to help them; ] we will abandon them, and return to our own lands, because [it is as though] the punishment they are receiving is so great that it reaches up to the clouds in sky, [so great that no one can measure it].
Ga fi dunu amogawi esalu da amane sia: i, ‘Ninia da Ba: bilone fidimusa: dawa: i galu. Be fidimu eso da baligi dagoiba: le hamedei. Ninia wali e yolesili, ninia sogega buhagimu. Gode da Ea gasa defele, amoga Ba: bilonema se i dagoi. E da amo gugunifinisidafa.’”
10 Yahweh has (vindicated us/shown that we were right); [so] let’s proclaim in Jerusalem everything that Yahweh our God has done [for us].
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu da ha: giwane amane wele sia: sa, ‘Hina Gode da ninia hou da moloi, amo olelei dagoi. Hadiga! Ninia asili, Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima ninia Hina Gode Ea hamobe, amo ilima olelela: di.’”
11 [You enemy soldiers, ] sharpen your arrows! Lift up your shields, [because] Yahweh has incited your kings of Media [and Persia to march with their armies] to Babylon and to destroy it. That is how Yahweh will get revenge on [those foreigners who entered] his temple [in Jerusalem] and defiled it.
Hina Gode da Ba: bilone amo wadela: musa: ilegei dagoiba: le, E da Midia dunu ilima sia: i. Ba: bilone fi da Ea Debolo wadela: lesi dagoi. Amaiba: le, E da Midia fi amo Ba: bilone fi dunuma dabe imunusa: asunasimu. Doagala: su ouligisu dunu da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia dadi debema! Dilia ga: su liligi momagema!
12 Lift up a battle flag close to the walls of Babylon! (Reinforce the/Appoint more) guards, and tell the watchmen to stand [in their positions]! Prepare an ambush, because Yahweh is about to accomplish all that he has planned to do to the people of Babylon.
Ba: bilone gagoi dobea amo doagala: su, dawa: ma: ne hahamosu hou olelema! Sosodo aligisu dunu ilima gasa ima! Sosodo ouligisu dunu ilia hawa: hamosu sogebi amoga masa: ne sia: ma! Dunu eno da wamoaligili desegaligimusa: asunasima!” Hina Gode da Ea sia: i defele, Ba: bilone dunu ilima hamoi dagoi.
13 Babylon is [a city] near the great [Euphrates] River, a city in which there are many rich people, but it is time for Babylon to be finished; the time [for the city] to exist is ended.
Ba: bilone soge da hano bagohame gala, amola liligi noga: i bagade gagui gala. Be ea wadela: mu eso da doaga: i dagoi, amola ea esalusu da fedege agoane efe amo da damunisi dagoi ba: sa.
14 The Commander of the armies of angels has solemnly promised, using his own name, “Your cities will be filled with your enemies; I will cause them to be like [SIM] a swarm of locusts; and they will shout triumphantly [when they conquer your city].”
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Hi Esalusuba: le ilegei dagoi. E da dunu bagohame, danuba: wa: i defele, Ba: bilone amoga doagala: musa: oule misunu. Amola ilia da hasalabeba: le, ha: giwane wele sia: mu.
15 Yahweh created the earth by his power; he established it by his wisdom, and he stretched out the sky by his understanding.
Hina Gode da Ea gasaga osobo bagade hamoi; Ea asigi dawa: su noga: i amoga E da osobo bagade hahamoi amola mu amola ilua: i.
16 When he speaks loudly, there is thunder in the sky; he causes clouds to form in every part of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and releases the winds from his storehouses.
Ea sia: beba: le, hano muagado dialebe da gobe nabi. E da mu mobi amo osobo bagade bega: diala amo gaguli maha. E da ha: ha: na nene gala: musa: hamosa. Amola Ea fo diasu sesei amoga fo asunasisa.
17 People are senseless, and they know very little [HYP]; those who make idols are [always] disappointed, because their idols [do nothing for them]. The images/statues that they make are not real [gods]; they are lifeless.
Amo hou ba: beba: le, dunu da gasa hame amola gagaoui agoane ba: sa. Dunu amo da ilia loboga ogogosu ‘gode’ hamosu, da amo ‘gode’ ilima dafawaneyale dawa: su hou yolesisa. Bai ‘gode’ ilia loboga hamoi liligi da hame esala, hamedei liligi fawane.
18 Idols are worthless; they deserve to be ridiculed; there will be a time when they will [all] be destroyed.
Ilia da hamedei liligi, amola dunu da ili higamu da defea. Hina Gode da ilima dabe ima: ne masea, ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
19 But the God whom [we] Israelis [worship] is not like those [idols]; he is the one who created everything [that exists]; [we], the people of Israel, belong to him; his name is ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’.
Be Ya: igobe ea Gode da ili defele hame. Amo Gode Hi da liligi huluanedafa hahamoi. E da Isala: ili fi, Ea Fidafa hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi. Ea Dio da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.
20 Yahweh says [about the army of Babylonia] (OR, [about a nation that will attack Babylonia)], “You have been [like] [MET] my battle-axe and war-club; with your [power] I have shattered nations and destroyed [many] kingdoms.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone! Di da Na ‘ha: ma’ (hammer) gala. Di da Na gegesu liligi. Na da di amoga fifi asi gala amola hina bagade fi amo goudanesi.
21 With your [power] I have shattered armies [of other nations]: I destroyed [their] horses and their riders, [their] chariots and [their] chariot-drivers.
Na da dia lobo amoga hosi, amoga fila heda: i dunu, sa: liode amola ilia genonesisu dunu goudai dagoi.
22 With your [power] I shattered men and women, old people and children, young men and young women.
23 With your [power] I shattered shepherds and their flocks [of sheep], farmers and their oxen, governors and [their] officials.”
Na da dia loboga dunu, uda da: i hamoi, ayeligi, dunu mano, uda mano, laigebo ouligisu dunu, ilia laigebo wa: i, osobo gidinasu dunu amola ilia hosi, hina bagade dunu amola ilia eagene ouligisu dunu, amo medole lelegei dagoi.
24 But, Yahweh [also] says, “[Soon] I will repay/punish [you] people in Babylon and in the rest of Babylonia for all the evil things that you have done in Jerusalem.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Ba: bilone amola ea fi dunu ilima dabe imunu. Bai ilia da Yelusaleme fi ilima wadela: le bagade hamoi.
25 [Babylonia is] [APO] like [MET] a great mountain [from which bandits descend] to (plunder/steal things from) people all over the earth. But I, Yahweh, am the enemy of you [people of Babylonia]. I will raise my fist to strike you. I will knock you down from the cliffs and cause you to be [only] a huge pile of burned rubble.
Ba: bilone! Di da osobo bagade wadela: su goumi agoane ba: sa. Be Na, Hina Gode, da dia ha lai esala. Na da di gagulaligili, mugululi, di osoboga umi agoane hamone, laluga ulagili, di da nasubu fawane dialebe ba: mu.
26 Your [city] will be abandoned forever; [even] the stones in your [city] will never [again] be used for buildings. [Your city will be completely destroyed].”
Igi huluane dia mugului ganodini dialebe ba: sea, amo dunu da diasu eno gagumusa: hamedafa lamu. Di da eso huluanedafa wadela: i hafoga: i soge agoane dialebe ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.
27 [Tell] the nations to lift up a battle flag! [Tell them to] shout the battle-cry! Gather all their armies to fight against Babylon! Prepare the nations to attack Babylon. Summon [the armies of] the kingdoms [north of Babylonia]—from Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander for them, and bring [a great number of] horses; [there must be a huge number of horses]; that [huge number] will resemble [SIM] a swarm of locusts.
Ba: bilone amoma doagala: musa: dawa: digisu hahamoma! Fifi asi gala huluane nabima: ne, dalabede fulabole duma. Fifi asi gala da Ba: bilonema doagala: musa: , momagema!

Hosi wa: i amo danuba: wa: i bagade agoane, oule heda: ma!
28 Prepare the [armies of other nations], armies that will be led by the kings of Media [and Persia], their governors and [their] officials.
Fifi asi gala da Ba: bilonema doagala: musa: momagema! Midia hina bagade huluane amola ilia ouligisu dunu amola eagene ouligisu dunu amola soge ilia ouligisa amo ilia dadi gagui wa: i huluane, amo misa: ne sia: ma!
29 [When they attack Babylon, it will be as though] the earth will shake and writhe [in pain], because [those armies] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned to do to Babylon; they will destroy it completely, [with the result that] no one will live there [again].
Osobo bagade da fofogolala! Bai Hina Gode da Ba: bilone soge wadela: lesili, bu hafoga: i dunu hame esalebe soge hamomusa: ilegei dagoi, amola E da amo ilegesu hamonana.
30 [When their enemies attack], the strongest warriors in Babylon will not fight. They will remain in their barracks, without any strength. They will be as timid/weak as [SIM] women. [The enemy soldiers] will burn the buildings in the city and pull down the bars [of the city gates].
Ba: bilone dadi gagui ilia da bu gegenanu yolesili, ilia gagili sali diasu ganodini beda: iwane esala. Ilia da ilia nimi bagade hou fisili, bu gasa hame uda agoane ba: sa. Moilai holei ga: su da mugului dagoi, amola diasu da laluga nenana.
31 Messengers will go quickly, one after another, to tell the king that his city has been captured.
Sia: adole iasu dunu, eno amola eno bagohame, da Ba: bilone hina bagade ema, ha lai dunu da la: ididili amola la: ididili ea moilai bai bagade amoma doagala: lala, amo adole imunusa: ema doaga: lala.
32 The places at which people can cross the river [to escape from the city] will be blocked. The dry reeds in the marshes/swamps will be set on fire, and the soldiers of Babylon will be terrified.
Ha lai dunu da hano degesu lai dagoi, amola gagili sali diasu huluane laluga ulagisa. Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu da beda: i bagadeba: le, hobeamusa: dawa: lala.
33 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says; “Babylon is like [SIM] wheat on the ground where it is about to be threshed by [animals] tramping on it. Very soon [their enemies] will trample on [the city of] Babylon [MET].”
Ilia ha lai dunu da ili hedofale, ilia da gagoma ha: i manu lamu diasuga osa: gisa amo defele ili ososa: gimu. Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
34 [The army of] Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, has attacked and crushed us [Israeli people], and we have no strength [left]. [It is as though] they have swallowed us like a [great] monster that filled its belly with all our tasty parts, and then has spit out [what it did not like].
Ba: bilone hina bagade da Yelusaleme dadega: le, mai dagoi. E da amo moilai bai bagade faigelei defele, hagia: i dagoi. E da hanome defele, Yelusaleme da: gi dagoi. E da ea hanaiga ea liligi gesowale lale, eno hame lai udigili ha: digi.
35 [So] the people of [PRS] Jerusalem say [to Yahweh], “Cause the people of Babylon to suffer like they caused us to suffer! Cause the people of Babylonia to be punished for killing [MTY] our people!”
Saione fi dunu da amane sia: mu da defea, “Ba: bilone fi da ninima se bagade iabeba: le, Hina Gode da ilima fofada: nanu, ilima se imunu da defea.” Amola Yelusaleme fi dunu da amane sia: mu da defea, “Ba: bilone fi da nini se nabima: ne hamoiba: le, ilisu da dabe lamu da defea.”
36 And this is what Yahweh replies to the people of Jerusalem: “I will [be like your lawyer to] defend you, and I will avenge you. I will dry up the river in Babylon and [all] the springs of water.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Na da dilimagale fofada: mu. Na da dilia ha lai ilima dabe imunu. Bai ilia da dilima wadela: le hamoi. Na da ilia hano huluane hafoga: ma: ne hamomu.
37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a place where jackals/wolves live. It will become a place that people are horrified about and will ridicule; it will be a place where no one lives.
Ba: bilone soge da mugului liligi lelegela heda: i agoane ba: mu. Amo ganodini, sigua ohe fawane esalebe ba: mu. Amo soge da wadela: idafa agoane ba: mu. Dunu da amo ganodini hame esalumu amola nowa da amo soge ba: sea da bagadewane beda: mu.
38 The people of Babylon will [all] roar like young lions; they will growl like baby lions.
Ba: bilone dunu da laione wa: me agoane husa amola laione wa: me mano agoane halahalasa.
39 But while they are extremely hungry, I will prepare a [different kind of] feast for them. [It is as though] I will cause them to drink wine until they are very drunk, [with the result that] they will fall asleep. But they will never wake up from that sleep!
Ilia da uasu dunu! Na da ili feloama: ne amola hahawane ba: ma: ne, ilima lolo nabe hahamomu. Ilia da golale, hamedafa nedigimu.
40 I will bring them down to a place where they will be slaughtered, like [SIM] [someone who takes] lambs or rams or goats [to where they will be slaughtered for sacrifices].
Dunu da sibi mano amola goudi amola sibi gawali amo medole legemusa: oule ahoa, amo defele Na da Ba: bilone dunu medole legemusa: oule masunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
41 People all over the earth [now] (honor/praise) Babylon; they say that it is a great city. But I will cause it to become a [place about which people of all] nations are horrified.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone (moilai bai bagade Ba: bilone soge ganodini) amoma osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da nodosu. Be wali amo da ea ha lai amoga gagulaligi dagoi. Wali fifi asi gala da Ba: bilone wadela: idafa hamoi ba: sa.
42 The [enemies of Babylon] will cover the city [like] huge waves of the sea [DOU].
Fedege agoane, hano wayabo bagade da Ba: bilone dedeboi dagoi. Ea gafului da fugala: le, ema dedeboma: ne asi dagoi.
43 The towns in Babylonia will become ruins, Babylonia will become a dry desert area. It will be a land in which no one lives and which no one walks through.
Moilai huluane da beda: ma: ne wadela: idafa ba: sa. Ilia da hano hamedene hafoga: i soge agoane ba: sa. Amo ganodini, dunu da hame esala amola amogawi hame ahoa.
44 And I will punish Bel, [the god that the people] of Babylon [worship], and I will cause the people to give back what they have stolen [MET]. [People of other] nations will no longer come to [worship] Bel. And the walls of Babylon will collapse.”
Na da Ba: bilone ogogosu ‘gode’ Bele, ema se imunu. Amola ea wamolai liligi bu samogemu. Fifi asi gala da ema bu hame nodone sia: ne gadomu. Ba: bilone gagoi ea dobea da mugului dagoi.
45 [Yahweh also says, ] “My people, come out of Babylon! Run away from there! Run, because [I], Yahweh, am extremely angry [MTY] [with the people of Babylon, and I will get rid of them]!
Isala: ili dunu! Amo soge fisili, hobeama! Na ougi bagadedafa mae ba: ma: ne, dilia esalusu gaga: ma: ne, hobeama!
46 Do not be discouraged/worried [IDM] or afraid when you hear reports [about what is happening in Babylon]. People will report rumors like that every year, rumors about violent things being done in the land, and rumors about leaders fighting against each other.
Dilia da udigili sia: dabe nababeba: le, mae beda: ma! Ode huluane amoga dilia da udigili sia: daha naba. Amo da udigili gegesu sia: dalebe, amola hina bagade eno da eno hina bagade amoma gegemusa: sia: dala.
47 But it will soon be the time for me to get rid of the idols in Babylon. [People all over] the land will be ashamed [because of being defeated]; and the corpses of their [soldiers] will lie in the streets.
Amaiba: le, eso da misunu, amoga Na da Ba: bilone ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima se imunu. Soge fi huluane da gogosiasu ba: mu amola dunu huluane da medole legei dagoi ba: mu.
48 Then all [the angels in] heaven and all the [people on] [PRS] the earth will rejoice, because from the north will come [armies] that will destroy Babylon.
Gagoe (north) fi amo da Ba: bilone wadela: musa: misini, amola Ba: bilone gugunufinisi dagoi ba: sea, liligi huluane osobo bagadega amola muagado amoga diabe, da hahawaneba: le, wele sia: mu.
49 Like [the soldiers of Babylon] killed the people of Israel and [also] killed others all over the world [HYP], [the people of] Babylon must also be killed.
Ba: bilone fi da hamobeba: le, fifi asi gala huluane ilia fi dunu bagohame da bogogia: i dagoi. Amola wali, Ba: bilone fi dunu da Isala: ili dunu bagohame medole legeiba: le, Ba: bilone da dafamu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
50 You [Israeli people] who have not been killed [MTY], get out of Babylon! Do not wait! [Even though you are in a land] far away [from Israel], think about Yahweh, and think about Jerusalem!”
Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu Ba: bilone soge ganodini esala, ilima amane sia: sa, “Dilia da bogosu giadofai - hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, wali masa! Mae ouligima! Dilia da dilia soge amoga ga sedagawane esala. Be Na, dilia Hina Gode, amo dilia bu dawa: ma! Amola Yelusaleme mae gogolema!
51 [The Israeli people say], “We are ashamed. We are completely disgraced [DOU], because foreigners have entered Yahweh’s temple [and (defiled it/caused it to become unfit for worship)].”
Dilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Ninia da gogosiasu lai dagoi. Ninia da gasa hame amola hamedei ba: sa. Bai ga fi da hadigi sogebi Debolo ganodini diala, amo huluane lale ouligi dagoi.
52 Yahweh replies, “[That is true], but there will soon be a time when I will destroy the idols in Babylon, and throughout Babylonia there will be wounded people who will groan.
Amaiba: le, Na da amane sia: sa. Eso da misunu, amoga Na da Ba: bilone loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima se imunu. Amola soge huluane amo ganodini fa: ginisi dunu da se nababeba: le, gogonomamu.
53 Even if [the walls around] Babylon could extend up to the sky, and if its walls/fortifications were extremely strong, I will send [armies] that will destroy the city. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Ba: bilone da muagado amoga heda: le, gasa bagade gagili sali diasu gagumu, amo defele esalaloba, Na da dunu ili amo wadela: lesima: ne asunasila: loba. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
54 Listen to [the people of] Babylon crying [for help]! And listen to the sounds of things being destroyed all over Babylonia!
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Ba: bilone soge amoga digini wele sia: su, amola soge wadela: lesi dagoiba: le, da: i dione didigia: su amo nabima!
55 Yahweh will be destroying Babylon. He will cause the loud noises in the city to cease.
Na da Ba: bilone wadela: lesilala. Amo soge da ouiya: le dialumu. Dadi gagui dunu wa: i ilia da hano gafului agoane, ganodini hehenasa. Ilia da ha: giwane halale, Ba: bilonema doagala: sa.
56 Enemy troops will surge against the city like [SIM] a great wave. They will capture the city’s mighty soldiers and break their weapons. [That will happen] because Yahweh is a God who punishes [his enemies] justly; he will punish them as they deserve.
Ilia da Ba: bilone gugunufinisimusa: misi dagoi. Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu da ilia ha lai amoga gagulaligi dagoi ba: sa. Ilia dadi da fi dagoi. Na, Gode, da wadela: i hou amoma se iaha. Na da Ba: bilone amoma ilia hamoi defele dabe imunu.
57 The king, the Commander of the armies of angels says, “I will cause the city officials and wise men, the army captains and soldiers [in Babylon] to become drunk. They will fall asleep, but they will never wake up [again]!”
Na da Ba: bilone ouligisu dunu (ilia bagade dawa: su dunu, ouligisu dunu amola dadi gagui dunu) amo feloama: ne hamomu. Ilia da golale, hamedafa nedigimu. Na, Hina Bagadedafa, da sia: i dagoi. Na da Hina Gode Bagadedafa.
58 Yahweh also says, “The thick walls around Babylon will be flattened to the ground. The city gates will be burned. People [from other countries] will work hard [to save the city], but it will be (in vain/useless), because everything [that they have built] will be destroyed by fire.”
Ba: bilone ea gagoi dobea da osoboga gisalugala: i dagoi ba: mu. Ea gadodili heda: i logo holei ga: su da laluga nei dagoi ba: mu. Fifi asi gala huluane da amo moilai bai bagade gagui be ilia udigili hawa: hamoi. Ilia hamoi liligi da lalu sawa: amoga nei dagoi ba: sa. Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da sia: i dagoi.”
59 Seraiah was the man who made arrangements for the King of Babylon [whenever he traveled]. He was the son of Neraiah and grandson of Mahseiah. When he was about to go to Babylon with King Zedekiah, after Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, the prophet Jeremiah gave him a message.
Hina bagade Sedegaia ea hawa: hamosu dunu da Sila: ia (Nilaia egefe amola Masaia ea aowa). Yuda hina bagade Sedegaia ea ode biyadu ouligibiga, Sila: ia da e amola gilisili Ba: bilone sogega masusa: dawa: i. Na da ema meloa dedene i.
60 Jeremiah had written on a scroll a list of all the disasters that he had written about, disasters that would soon occur in Babylon.
Na da Ba: bilone fi ilima gugunufinisila misunu hou, amola Ba: bilone liligi huluane amo meloa ganodini dedei.
61 He said to Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, read [aloud] everything that I have written [on this scroll].
Na da Sila: iama amane sia: i, “Di da Ba: bilone sogega doaga: sea, sia: huluane amo meloa ganodini dedei, amo dunu huluane nabima: ne idima.
62 Then pray, ‘Yahweh, you said that you will thoroughly destroy Babylon, with the result that people and animals will no [longer] live there. You said that it will be desolate forever.’
Amasea, di amane sia: ne gadoma, ‘Hina Gode! Di da amo soge wadela: ma: ne sia: i. Amola amo ganodini esalebe liligi, dunu o ohe esalebe hame ba: mu amola amo soge eso huluanedafa hafoga: i soge agoane dialoma: ne, Di da sia: i dagoi.’
63 [Then], when you have finished reading [what I have written on] the scroll, tie it to a [heavy] stone and throw it into the Euphrates [River].
Sila: ia! Di da amo buga dunu nabima: ne idi dagosea, amoga igi la: gili, Iufala: idisi Hano amoga gelasa: ima: ne ha: digima.
64 Then say, ‘In the same way, Babylon [and its people] will disappear and never exist again, because of the disasters that Yahweh will cause to occur there’” That is the end of Jeremiah’s messages.
Amola amane sia: ma ‘Amo hou defele da Ba: bilone amoma doaga: mu. Ba: bilone da magufale, bu hamedafa heda: mu. Bai Hina Gode da gugunufinisisudafa amoga iasimu.’” Yelemaia ea sia: da amogawi dagosa.
