Zeremaia 10

1 Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'motagu'ma nehia nanekea antahiho.

Listen to the message the Lord is sending to you, people of Israel.

2 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne. Monare'ma fore'ma nehia zana negeta korera osiho. Na'ankure kokankokama nemaniza vahe'mo'za ana zantaminkura tusi koro nehazanki, anama hanaza zana negeta zamagera onteho.

This is what the Lord says: Don't adopt the practices of other nations. Don't be terrified as they are by signs in the heavens that they interpret as predicting disaster.

3 Ana vahe'mo'za amunte omanea avu'avaza nehaze. Zamagra zafa antagi atrazage'za, zafareti keonke zama tro'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za ana zafa antre'za kaza osu havi anumzana tro nehaze.

The religious beliefs of the peoples are pointless. They chop down a tree in the forest and a craftsman carves the wood with a tool to make an idol.

4 Ana amema'ama tro'ma nehaza zantera, silvareti'ene golireti'ene avasasea hunte'naze. Ana hute'za hama eriza nilia ahentrako hazageno evu noramie.

They decorate it with silver and gold, and nail it down with a hammer so it won't fall over.

5 Hagi e'i ana kaza osu havi anumzantamina kono hozafi namamo'za e'zanku vahe amema'a tro hu'za antazankna anumzanki'za, zamagra keaga osugahaze. Ana hu'nazanki'za kana vano nosage'za vahe'mo'za erisga hu'za vano nehaze. E'inahu anumzantaminkura korora osiho. Na'ankure tamagrira tamazeri havizana nosu'za, mago knare'zana huoramantegahaze.

Just like a scarecrow in a field of cucumbers, their idols can't speak. They have to be carried around because they can't walk. You don't have to be afraid of them because they can't hurt you—and they can't do you any good either.

6 Ra Anumzamoka mago vahe'mo'a Kagri knara osu'ne. Kagra ran krerfa hu'nanankino kagri kagimo'a ra huno hankavenentake hu'ne.

There's no one like you, Lord! You are so great! You are incredibly powerful!

7 Hagi Kagra maka ama mopafi vahe kinia mani'nananki'za, kagrikuke korora hugantegahaze. E'ina hu'neanki'za vahe'mo'za kagri agoragage manigahaze. Na'ankure ama mopafima maka ama' antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'naza vahepinti'ene maka kini vahe'pinti'enena mago'mo'e huno Kagri kna vahera omani'ne.

Everyone should respect you, King of the nations. This is how you should be treated. There's no one like you among all the wise men of every nation and kingdom.

8 Hagi kaza osu havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'mo'za knare antahi'zana omanege'za zamagra neginagi vahe mani'naze. Zamagrama mono'ma hunentaza zantamina zafareti antre'za tro hunte'naza zantami me'ne.

Yet these “wise men” are completely foolish and stupid, because they think they can be taught by useless idols made of wood!

9 Hagi zamagra Tasisiti eri'za e'naza silvane, Ufaziti eri'za e'naza golinena eri'za golireti'ma keonke zama tro'ma nehaza vahe zamizage'za, ana havi anumzantamina eri anovazi zamante'naze. Ana hute'za kunavenke tavaravene koranke tavaravenena eri'za ana eri'zama antahini'ma hu'naza vahe zamizage'za zaza kukena hatitage'za ana havi anumzantamina antani nezamantaze.

Sheets of hammered silver are shipped in from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, to be used by craftsmen and metalworkers. These idols are dressed in clothes of blue and purple made by experts.

10 Hianagi tamage Anumzana, Ra Anumzamo agrake mani'ne. Agra kasefa huno nemania Anumzankino, manivava kini mani'ne. Agrama arimpa he'zama erinte ama'ma nehigeno'a, ama mopamo'a torevare nehige'za ama mopafi vahe'mo'za mani so'ea osugahaze.

But the Lord is the only true God. He is the living God and eternal King. The earth shakes when he is angry; the nations can't withstand his fury.

11 Hagi ru anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahera amanage huta zamasamiho. Tamagri anumzamo'za monane mopanena trora osu'nazanki'za, ama mopafinti'ene monamofo fenka kazigatira fanane hu'za omanigahaze.

This is what you are to tell the nations: “These gods, who didn't make either the heavens or the earth, will be wiped out from this earth and from under these heavens.”

12 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a agra'a hankavereti ama mopa tro huteno agra'a knare antahizanteti mopamofo tra'a tro huno eri hankavenetino, Agra'a antahi'zanteti monaramimpima me'nea zantamina tro huteno rufanara huntegeno me'ne.

It was God who made the earth by his power. He created the world by his wisdom and by his understanding he put the heavens in place.

13 Hagi agrama keagama nehigeno'a monage nehigeno, monafintira ko'mofo agasasanke nehie. Ana nehigeno mopama ome atretegatira hampo'mofona huntegeno marerino mopa rufi'nete. Agra kopasi'na huntegeno magoka ko'ene ne-egeno, agra fenoma nentea nompinti eri anagino zahora huntegeno ne-e.

The waters of the heavens rain down with a roar at his command. He makes the clouds to rise all over the earth. He makes lightning to accompany rain, and sends the wind from his storehouses.

14 Hagi miko vahera neginagi hu'za antahintahi omane vahe mani'naze. Golireti'ma havi anumzantamima tro'ma hu'naza vahe'mo'za, anazama tro'ma hu'naza zankura tusi zamagazegu hugahaze. Na'ankure ana amema'ama tro'ma hu'naza zantamina havigeza tro hu'naze. Ana havi anumzantamimo'za zamasimura ante'za kasefara hu'za nomanize.

Everyone is stupid; they don't know anything. Every metalworker is embarrassed by the idols they make. For their images made of molten metal are fraudulent—they're not alive!

15 Hagi zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hu'naza havi anumzantamina amneza me'naze. Ana hu'neanki'za vahe'mo'za kiza zokago ke huzamantegahaze. Hagi zamagri'ma keaga huzmanteno zamazeri havizahu knama esanige'za, haviza hu'za fanane hugahaze.

They are useless, an object to be laughed at. They will be destroyed at the time of their punishment.

16 Hianagi Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro hu'nazankna anumzana omani'ne. Agra maka'zama tro hunte'nea Anumza mani'ne. Hagi Israeli vahekura Nagri vahe mani'naze huno Agra'a huhampari zamante'ne. Ana hu'neankino Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzane huno agi'a me'ne.

The God of Jacob is not like these idols, for he is the Creator of everything, and Israel is the tribe that belongs to him. The Lord Almighty is his name.

17 Hagi ha' vahe'mo'za e'za kuma'ma eme vazagi kagisageta Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota ama mopa atreta vugahazanki, kutuntamia retrotra hiho.

You people living in Jerusalem under siege, get all your things together ready to leave,

18 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie. Nagra Juda mopamofo agu'afima nemaniza vahera knaza zami'na zamazeri panini hanuge'za ufre efre hugahaze. Ana nehu'na rama'a hazenke'za atre'nugeno eno eme zamazeri haviza hanige'za, Nagri narimpa ahe'zana kegahaze.

because this is what the Lord says: Look! Right now I'm about to throw out the people living in this country, bringing them trouble they will really feel.

19 Hagi tamagra Jerusalemi vahe'mota amanage hugahaze. Tagri namumo'a teonkanigeta tusi'a tasu'zampi manune. Ana hianagi ana knazana amne erita vugahune huta nehaze.

The people of Jerusalem responded, “We're suffering terribly because we've been badly hurt—our injuries are really serious. We thought it wouldn't be that bad and that we could bear it.

20 Hagi nemanuna seli nontimo'a haviza huno evuramigeno, noma avazuhumpima nehia nofimo'a akanokanu hu'ne. Ana higeno mago vahe'mo'a taza huno ete eri otigara osu'ne. Ne' mofavre nagatia hago zamavare'za vu'nazankita henka'a mago'enena ozamagegahune.

Our tents have been destroyed; all our ropes have been broken. Our children have been taken from us and are no more. We don't have anyone left to put up our tents or hang our curtains.”

21 Hagi kva vahetimo'za hago neginagi hu'nazankiza Ra Anumzamofona antahige'za knare antahi'zana e'norize. E'ina hu'negu maka'zama nehaza zamo'a knarera nosigeno, sipisipi kevu naga'mo'za panani hu'za ufre efre nehaze.

The “shepherds” have become stupid—they don't ask the Lord for advice. That's why they have failed, and all their flock has been scattered.

22 Hagi tamagesa ante'neta antahiho. Noti kazigati rama'a sondia vahe'mo'za ha' eme huramante'naku tusi zamagasasa ru'za erava'o nehaze. Ana hu'neanki'za Juda mopafima me'nea kumatamina eme eri haviza hanageno mago'zana omnena afi kramo'zage anampina manigahaze.

Listen to the news that an noisy army is invading from a country to the north. The towns of Judah will be knocked down, they will be places where only jackals live.

23 Ra Anumzamoka nagrama kena antahinama huana, mago vahe'mo'a agra'a avesitera kana ontege, agra'a antahintahia retro huteno kana vano osugahie.

I realize, Lord, that people don't control their own lives—no one really knows how to choose their way.

24 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamoka nazeri fatgo huo. Hianagi karimpa ahenantenka anara osunka, fatgo kavukva hunantenka nazeri fatgo huo. Na'ankure kagrama karimpama ahenantesanke'na nagra fri'na amane zankna hugahue.

Please discipline me fairly, Lord—not while you're angry, otherwise you'll kill me!

25 Hagi kagri'ma kage'za antahizama nosu'za, kagri kagire'ma zamentintima nosaza vahete karimpa ahe'zana eri rukaha hutro. Na'ankure ana vahe'mo'za tagri naga Israeli vahera zamahe'za eri hana hu'naze. Ana vahe'mo'za vahe'ma zamahe'za eri hana'ma hazageno'a mopatifina vahera omanigeno ka'ma koka efore hu'ne.

Pour out your fury on the nations that don't recognize you as God, and on their families that don't worship you. For they have completely destroyed the Israelites, wiping us out. They have devastated our country.
