Zeremaia 10

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

You people of Israel, listen to what Yahweh says:

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.

“Do not act like the people of [other] nations act, and do not be terrified by strange/unusual things that you see in the sky, even though they cause the [people of other] nations to be terrified.

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 customs of the people [of other nations] are worthless. [For example], they cut down a tree in the forest. Then a [skilled] worker/craftsman [cuts a section of it and] uses his chisel to carve an idol from that section.

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.

[Then] people decorate the idol with silver and gold. [Then] they fasten it securely with nails in order that it will not topple/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.

[Then] the idol [stands there] like [SIM] a scarecrow in a field of cucumbers/melons! It cannot speak, and people must carry it, because it cannot walk. Do not be afraid of idols, because they cannot harm [anyone], and they cannot do [anything] good [to help anyone].”

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

Yahweh, there is no one like you. You [MTY] are great, and you are very 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.

You are the king of all the nations! Everyone should [RHQ] revere you, because that is what you deserve. Among all the wise people on the earth and in all the kingdoms where they live, (there is no one like you./who can compare with you?)

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.

Those people who [think that they are] very wise [IRO] are stupid and foolish [DOU]. The idols that they worship are only made of wood! Those idols certainly cannot teach them anything.

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.

People hammer into thin sheets silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz, and then they give those sheets of silver and gold to skilled workers/craftsmen to cover the idols. Then they put on those idols expensive purple robes that are made by skilled workers.

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 Yahweh is the [only] true God; he is the all-powerful God, the king [who rules] forever. When he is angry, [all] the earth shakes/quakes; and [the people of] the nations cannot endure [what he does] when he is angry [with them].

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.

[You Israeli people], tell this to those people: “Those idols did not make the sky and the earth, and they will disappear from the earth.”

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.

But [Yahweh] made the earth by his power; he established it [firmly] by his wisdom and stretched out the sky by his understanding.

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.

When he speaks [loudly], there is thunder in the sky; he causes clouds to form over every part of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and releases the winds 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.

People are senseless and 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.

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.

Idols are worthless; they deserve to be ridiculed; there will be a time when they [all] will be destroyed.

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.

But the God whom we Israelis worship is not like those idols; he is the one who created everything [that exists]; we, the tribe/people of Israel, belong to him; he is the Commander of the armies of angels.

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.

[Yahweh says this to the people of Jerusalem]: “The army of your enemies surrounds your city, so gather up your possessions [and prepare] to leave the city.

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.

I will soon throw you out of this land and cause you to experience great troubles, with the result that you will have severe pain (OR, none of you will be left here).”

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 replied, “It is as though] we have been [badly] wounded, and we are very grieved; [It is as though] we have a very serious illness, and we must endure the pain.

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.

[It is as though] our [great] tent is destroyed; the ropes [that held it up] have been cut; our children have gone away from us and will not return; there are no people left to rebuild our great tent.

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.

Our leaders [MET] no [longer] have any sense; they no [longer] ask Yahweh [to (guide them/tell them what to do)], so they will no [longer] prosper, and all those over whom they rule [MET] will be 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! [Our enemies’ armies] in the north are making a [very] big noise/commotion [as they march toward us]. The towns in Judah will be destroyed, [and they will become] a place where jackals/wolves 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.

Yahweh, I know that no person controls what will happen to him; no one is able to direct the events that he will experience.

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.

[So] correct/discipline us, but do it gently. Do not correct/punish us when you are angry, because we would die if you did that.

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.

Punish [MTY] [all] the nations whose people do not acknowledge/say that you are God; punish all the nations whose people do not worship you, because they are completely destroying [DOU] [us people of] Israel and they are causing our land to soon be only a desert.
