< Jeremiah 9 >

1 I wish that my head was [like] [MET] a spring of water, and that my eyes were [like] a fountain of tears. Then I would cry night and day for all of my people who have been killed [by our enemies].
Na dialuma da si hano amoga nabai ganumu da defea. Amola na si da si hano amoga nabale bubuga: mu da defea. Amai galea, na da eso amola gasia mae fisili, na fi dunu medole legei amo dawa: ma: ne dinanumu defele ba: mu.
2 I wish that I could leave my people and forget them, and go and live in a shack/shelter in the desert, because they have not remained faithful [MET] [to Yahweh]; they are a mob of people who deceive others.
Na da hafoga: i sogega wamoaligisu sogebi lamu hanai gala. Amoga, na da na fi dunu yolesili masunu da defea. Bai na fi dunu huluane da molole fa: no bobogesu hou hame dawa: Ilia huluane da hohonosu dunu.
3 [Yahweh replied to me], “They use their tongues [to tell] [MET] lies like people shoot [arrows] with bows. It is because they tell lies that they have become more powerful in this land, and they do not know me.
Ilia da eso huluane ogogomusa: ouesala. Moloidafa hou hame be ogogosu hou fawane da amo soge ouligisa. Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu da wadela: i hou afae hamone, bu wadela: i hou eno hamonana. Ilia da Na da ilia Gode hame ilegesa.”
4 Do not trust your neighbors and [even] your brothers! They all are as deceitful [as Jacob was]. They slander [each other] and tell lies [about each other].
Hohonosu hou da bagade. Amaiba: le, dunu huluane afae afae da ea sama amola ea yolali ilia hou dafawaneyale hame dawa: sa. Yolali fi huluane da Ya: igobe defele, ogogosu dawa: Amola dunu huluane da ea na: iyado ea hou baligiduwane sia: sa.
5 They deceive their friends and never tell the truth. They lie continually and, because of that, they have become skilled liars; they do one oppressive thing after another, and are unable to stop doing it.
6 They habitually lie and deceive [each other], and no one will admit/say that I am God.
Ilia da ilia sama dunu huluane ilima ogogosa. Amola ilia moloidafa sia: mu hame dawa: Ilia da ogogole sia: ma: ne, ilia gona: su noga: le olelesa, amola ilia wadela: i hou hamonana amo yolesimu ilia hame dawa: Ilia da nimi bagade fasu hou hamonana, amola ogogosu hou hamonana. Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na fi dunu da Na higale yolesi dagoi.”
7 Therefore [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: Listen carefully to what I say: I will [cause my people to experience great afflictions, ] [like a metalworker puts metal in a hot fire] [MET] to completely burn out the impure bits. Because of all [the evil things] that my people have done, there is absolutely nothing else [RHQ] that I can do.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Na da Na fi dunu ouli adoba: su hou defele, ili adoba: mu. Bai Na fi dunu da wadela: i hou hamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Na da adoba: su hou fawane ilima hamomu.
8 What they say [MTY] [injures people like] [MET] poisoned arrows do. They say to their neighbors, ‘I hope things will go well for you,’ while they are planning to kill them.
Ilia gona: su da medole legesu dadi ganisi defele gala. Ilia da mae fisili, ogogolala. Dunu huluane da ea na: iyadoma asigi sia: sa. Be e da asigi hame - e da ea na: iyado hohonomusa: dawa:
9 Should I not punish them for doing that [RHQ]? Yes, I should certainly (get revenge on/give what they deserve to) [the people of] a nation that does things like that!”
Na da ilima se ima: bela: ? Na da ilia wadela: i hou hamoi, amoma dabe ima: bela: ? Dafawane! Na da se ilima imunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
10 So, I will weep and wail for [the people who live in] the mountains and in the (pastures/places where the livestock eat the grass), because those areas will be desolate, and no one will live there. There will be no cattle there to call to each other, and all the birds and wild animals will have fled [to other places].
Na (Yelemaia) da amane sia: i, “Na da dimu amola didigia: mu. Bai gisi da bioi dagoi amola goumi da wadela: lesi, amola amo sogega, dunu eno da hame ahoa. Wali ohe fi ilia sia: da hame naba amola sio fi amola sigua ohe huluane da hobea: i dagoi.”
11 [Yahweh also says], “I will cause Jerusalem to become a heap of ruins, and [only] jackals/wolves will live there. I will destroy the towns of Judah, with the result that they will be completely deserted; no one will live there.”
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Yelusaleme mugululi, e da isu ligisisu bi defele ba: mu. Amo ganodini, sigua wa: me fawane da esalumu. Yuda moilai bai bagade huluane da hafoga: i wadela: i soge ba: mu amola amo ganodini, dunu da hamedafa esalumu.”
12 [I said], “Only people who are very wise [RHQ] can understand these things. Only those who have been taught by Yahweh can [RHQ] explain these things to others. The wise people are [RHQ] the only ones who can explain why the land will be completely ruined with the result that everyone [RHQ] will be afraid to travel through it.”
Na da amane adole ba: i, “Hina Gode! Soge da abuliba: le hafoga: i amola wadela: lesi dagoiba: le, dunu huluane da amoga hame ahoa? Amo bai dawa: ma: ne, dunu huluane ilia asigi dawa: su da defele hame. Di da amo ea bai nowama olelebela: ? Dunu afae da eno dunuma alofele olelema: ne, Di da nowama adobela: ?”
13 Yahweh replied, “[These things will happen] because my people have rejected my laws which I gave to them; they have not obeyed me or my instructions.
Hina Gode da amane bu adole i, “Na fi dunu da Na olelesu amo fisi dagoiba: le, amo hou da ilima doaga: i. Ilia da Na sia: nabawane hame hamosu.
14 Instead, they have stubbornly done the things that they wanted to do. They have worshiped the idols that represent the god Baal, which is what their ancestors did.
Be ilia dogo da ga: nasi hamone, ilia da ilia eda ilia olelesu defele, Ba: iele ogogosu loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadolalusu.
15 So now listen to what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God of the Israelis, say: [What I will do will be like] [MET] giving these people bitter things to eat and poison to drink:
Amaiba: le nabima! Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, Na da agoane hamomu. Na da Na fi ilima gamogai ha: i manu imunu, amola wadela: i medosu hano ili moma: ne imunu.
16 I will scatter them to many nations which neither they nor their ancestors have known [anything about]; I will [enable their enemies to] strike them with swords until I have destroyed them.”
Ilia da fifi asi gala amo ilia amola ilia aowalalia da musa: hamedafa dawa: i, amo ganodini esaloma: ne, Na da ili afagogomu. Amola ili dafawanedafa wadela: lesima: ne, Na da dadi gagui wa: i gilisi ilima doagala: ma: ne asunasimu.”
17 This is also what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Think [about what is happening], [then] summon those women who mourn [when someone has died].
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: i, “Wali manebe hou dawa: ma! Didigia: su dawa: uda amo didigia: su gesami hea: lala, amo misa: ne sia: ma!
18 Tell them to come quickly and start to wail, with the result that tears will stream down from your(pl) eyes.
Yuda dunu ilia da amane sia: i, “Ilia hedolo misini, ninima idigisa gesami hea: ma: ne sia: ma! Amasea, ninia si da si hanoga nabai amola ninia si abo dibi amoga si abo nanegai ba: mu.”
19 Listen to [the people of] Jerusalem crying/lamenting, saying, ‘We have been ruined/destroyed! We have experienced a terrible disaster! Now we are very ashamed, because our houses have been destroyed [by our enemies], and we [are being forced to] leave our land.’”
Saione sogega, didigia: su bagade nabima! “Ninia da wadela: lesi dagoi! Ninia da dafawanedafa gogosiasu nabi dagoi. Ninia soge yolesimu. Bai ninia diasu huluane da mugululi, wadela: lesi dagoi.”
20 You women, listen to what Yahweh says [MTY]. Pay attention to his words [DOU]. Teach your daughters to wail. Teach each other how to sing funeral songs,
Na da amane sia: i, “Dilia uda! Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima amola noga: le dawa: digima! Dilia idiwi ilima da: i dioi didigia: su hou olelema! Amola dilia na: iyado ilima idigisa gesami hea: su olelema.
21 because people will be dying [PRS] in your houses and in palaces. There will be no more children playing in the streets, there will be no more young men [gathering] in the city squares/marketplaces.
Bogosu da ninia fo misa: ne agenesi amoga golili misi amola ninia hina bagade ilia diasuga golili misi. Ninia mano moilai logoga esalebe amola ayeligi bidi lasu sogebi amoga esala, amoga bogosu da doaga: i dagoi.
22 There will be corpses scattered across the fields like dung; their dead bodies will lie there like [SIM] grain that has been cut by reapers/farmers, and there will be no one [still alive] to bury them.
Bogoi da: i hodo da iga ligisisu defele soge huluane amoga afagogole dialebe. Bogoi da: i hodo da gagoma amo faisu dunu da udigili damuni, amo defele udigili dialebe ba: sa. Hina Gode da amo sia: dilima alofele sia: ma: ne nama sia: i dagoi.”
23 Yahweh says this: “Wise men should not boast about their being wise, strong men should not boast about their being strong; and rich people should not boast about their being rich.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Bagade dawa: su dunu da ilia asigi dawa: su dawa: beba: le, hidale sia: mu da defea hame. Amola gasa bagade dunu ilia gasa dawa: beba: le, hidale sia: mu da defea hame. Amola bagade gagui dunu ilia muni amola liligi dawa: beba: le, hidale sia: mu da defea hame.
24 Instead, those who want to boast should boast about their knowing me and about understanding that I am Yahweh, that I am kind and just and righteous, that I faithfully love [people], and that I am delighted with [people who act] that way.
Nowa da hidale sia: musa: dawa: sea, e da Na dawa: amola Na hou dawa: amo fawane hidale sia: mu da defea. Bai Na asigi hou da eso huluane diala. Amola Na da hou moloidafa fawane hamosa. Agoaiwane hou fawane, Na da hahawane ba: sa. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
25 There will be a time when I will punish all those people of Egypt and of the Moab people-group and of the Edom [people-group] and of the Ammon [people-group], all those people who live close to desert areas (OR, who cut their hair short [to please their gods]) far from Judah, all those people who have [changed their bodies by] circumcising them [MET] but who have not [changed] their inner beings. I will punish the people of Judah also, because they have not changed their inner beings, [either].”
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Eso da doaga: mu, amoga Na da dunu fi huluane Idibidi, Yuda, Idome, A:mone, Moua: be amola hafoga: i soge esalebe dunu (amo da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone dawa: ma: ne ilia dialuma hinabo dadamusa) amo dunu huluane ilima se imunu. Amo dunu huluane da ilia gadofo damui dagoi ba: sa. Gadofo damusu da Na Gousa: su amo ea dawa: digima: ne olelesu. Be ilia da Na Gousa: su hamedafa dawa: digisa. Amo dunu huluane amola Isala: ili dunu da Na Gousa: su hamedafa dawa: digisa.”
