Zeremaia 17

1 Hagi Juda vahe'mokizmi kumira roro hu'nea aini zotareti havegna'ma huno hankaveti'nea zamagu'arera hanagati'za krenente'za, Kresramanama nevaza itaraminte'ma me'nea pazivetaminte'enena hanagati'za krente'naze.

[Yahweh said, “It is as though a list of] the sins [committed by the people of] Judah is engraved with an iron chisel, or engraved using the fine point of a very hard stone, on the altars [where they worship idols]. And [it is as though] this list is engraved on their inner beings!

2 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za havi anumzantaminte'ma Kresramanama nevaza itama tro nehu'za, Asera a' havi anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'za tro'ma hute'za, ranra zafa agafaramimpine agonaramimpinema ante'naza zantaminkura mofavre naga'zmimo'za zamagera okani'za vu'za monora ome hunezmantaze.

[Even] their children are happy to go to the altars [to worship their gods], and to the poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah [at which their parents worshiped], shrines that are underneath all the big trees and on [all] the high hills.

3 E'ina hu'negu Nagra tamagri ha' vahera zamatresuge'za Nagri agonaramimpina ne-eza havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumatamina eme eri haviza nehu'za, zagone marerisa feno zantaminena rohu eme tamare'za eri'za vugahaze. Na'ankure tamagrama mopatamifima kumi'ma huta eri hakarema hu'naza zante anara hugahaze.

So, I will allow your enemies to capture [Zion], your holy hill, and all your wealth and your (treasures/valuable things), and [even] the shrines on all those hills, because of the sins that you people have committed throughout your land.

4 Erisanti haregahazema hu'nama tami'noa mopa azeri so'e osu atregahaze. Nagra tamatresugeta keta antahitama osu'naza moparega ha' vahetamimofo eri'za vahe umanigahaze. Na'ankure tamagrama hazazamo narimpa ahe'zana eri akru hazageno, tusi narimpa ahe vava nehiankino, mago vahe'mo'a ana tevea rusura osugahie.

The [wonderful] land that I gave to you will no longer belong to you. I will tell your enemies to take you to a land that you do not know about, and you will become their slaves. [I will do that] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] a fire that will burn forever.”

5 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Vahete'ma amuha'ma nehuno vahe'mo naza hugahie nehuno, vahe'mofo hankavegu'ma nentahino, Nagri'ma amefi'ma hunenamia vahe'mo'a sifnafi manigahie.

This is [also] what Yahweh says: “[I] will curse/condemn those who trust in human beings [to help them], those who rely on their own strength and turn away from me.

6 E'inahu'ma hania vahe'mo'a hagege kokampi me'nea trazankna hu'neankino, henkama manino vanifina so'e nomani'zana omanigahie. Ana hu'neankino agra hagege kokampima hagemoke hu'negeno vahe'ma nomanifi manigahie.

They are like [dry] bushes in the desert, they are people who will not experience any good things. Those people will live in the barren desert in a salty area, where nothing grows.

7 Hianagi iza'o Ra Anumzamofonte amentinti nehuno, Agritema amuha'ma nehania vahe'mo'a asomu'ene manigahie.

But I am pleased with those who trust in [me], Yahweh, and who confidently expect [me to take care of them].

8 Hagi e'inahuma nehia vahe'mo'a, tinke'nare hankre'naza zafamo'ma rafu'na atregeno fenkame timpi urami'negeno, zagegnama egeno'a korera nosiankna nehie. E'ina hu'neankino zage knafinena ani'na eri nemareno raga rente vava huno vugahie.

Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank, trees that have roots that go down into the [wet ground beside] the water. They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot, trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.

9 Hagi vahe'mofo agu'afina vahe'ma revatagama hu'zamoke aviteno mago krigna hu'neankino kanamaregara osu'ne. Ana hu'negu iza ana zana keno antahino hugahie?

Human minds are extremely corrupt/deceitful, and you cannot change that. It is also completely impossible [RHQ] for anyone to understand that.

10 Hianagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na vahe'mofo antahi'zana ke'na antahi'na nehu'na, vahe'mofo agu'anena rezagane'na negoe. Ana nehu'na zamagrama nehaza zamavu zamavate ante'na mizana zamitere nehue.

But I, Yahweh, search what is in everyone’s inner being, and I examine what they are thinking. I will give all people rewards, what they deserve for what they have done.”

11 Hagi fatgo osu kanteti'ma zago fenoma eri atruma nehaza vahe'mo'za, namamo agra'a onte'nea amute anukino mase'negeno horaho hiankna nehaze. Ana hu'neanki'za kasefa vahe mani'neza ana feno zana atre vagarete'za, ozafama ome resazana zamunte omane negi nagi vahe manigahaze.

[I, Jeremiah, agree, because I know that] people who become rich by doing things that are unjust are like birds that hatch eggs that they (did not lay/stole from another nest). So, when those people have lived only half of the years [that they expect to live], their wealth will disappear. Then [other people will realize that] those rich people have been foolish.

12 Hagi nagra amanage hu'noe, Ra Anumzamofo hihamu hankave'ane kini tra'mo'a ese agafareti mesga huno meno e'neno, mono noma'afi me'negeta monora hunentone.

Yahweh, your temple is [like] a glorious throne that is still on a high hill.

13 Ra Anumzamoka Israeli vahe'mo'za Kagrite'ma amuha'ma nehaza Anumza mani'nane. Iza'o rukrahe'ma huno katreno vania vahe'mo'a agazegu nehuno kugusopafi avon krente'negeno fanene hiankna hugahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamoka kagra vahemo'ma neneno kasefa'ma huno manisia kampui tinkna hu'nananagi, kagri'ma katre'naza agafare anara hugahaze.

You are the one whom [we] Israeli people confidently expect [to bless us], and all those who turn away from you will be disgraced. Their names will be written [only] in the dust, [and will soon disappear], because they have abandoned you, [who are like] [MET] a fountain where people obtain fresh water.

14 Ra Anumzamoka krifintira nazeri kanamarege'na kanamare'na nemani'na, nagu'vazinka navarege'na knare hu'na manisue. Na'ankure kagri kagige'za husga hunegantoe.

Yahweh, [please] heal me, because [if you heal me], I will truly be healed. [If you] rescue me, I will truly be safe, because you are the [only] one whom I praise.

15 Hagi antahio, Israeli vahe'mo'za kiza zokago kea hunenante'za, Ra Anumzamofo naneke hunka huama'ma nehana nanekea, iga me'nefi atregeno ana nanekemo'a nena'a efore hinketa kamneno? hu'za nehaze.

People often ridicule me and say, “You tell us messages that you say came from Yahweh, but (why have the things that you predicted not happened?/those predictions have not come true!)” [RHQ]

16 Ra Anumzamoka nagri vahe'ma kegava huo hunka'ma nami'nana eri'zana atrena ofre'noe. Ana nehu'na mago zupa kagrikura hu'na, ama vahetera kari atregeno eme zamazeri haviza hino hu'na osu'noe. Maka nanekema hu'noana kagra ko kenka antahinka hu'nane.

Yahweh, you [appointed me to take care of your people like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; I have not abandoned that work, and you know that I have not [previously] wanted this time of disaster [to come to people who ridicule me]. And you know everything that I have said [MTY] [to your people].

17 Ra Anumzamoka kagra nazeri korora osuo. Na'ankure hazenke zama ne-esigenka kagrake'za fra'ma kisanua kumani'a manigahane.

Do not cause me to be terrified! When disasters come/occur, you are the one to whom I will go to be safe.

18 Hagi knama nami'za nazeri havizama nehaza vahera zamazeri zamagaze huo. Hianagi nagrira natrege'na nagazegura nehu'na, antahintahi hakarea osa'neno. Hagi ana vahera kna nezaminka mago'ane ante agofetu hunka zamazeri haviza huo.

[So now], cause those who (persecute me/cause me to suffer) to be ashamed and dismayed, but do not [do things to me that will] cause me to be ashamed and dismayed. Cause them to be terrified! Do to them many things that will completely destroy them!

19 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a nagrira nasamino, Kagra vunka Jerusalemi kuma kafaraminte ome otio. Ese'ma uotisanana veamokizmi kafanema hu'nea kafanteti'ma, Juda kini vahe'mo'zama ufre'za atirami'zama nehaza kafante uotio. Ana'ma hutenka vunka maka kafaraminte'enena ome otitere nehunka,

This is what Yahweh said to me: “Go to the city gates in Jerusalem. [First] go to the gate where the kings of Judah go in and out of the city, and [then] go to each of the [other] gates.

20 amanage hunka maka vahera zamasamio. Ama kuma kafaramimpinti'ma ufreta atiramitama nehaza vahe'motane, Juda kini vahe'motane Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'motane, maka Juda vahe'motanena Ra Anumzamo'ma hania nanekea kama antahiho.

Say to the people [at each gate], ‘You kings of Judah and everyone [else] who is living in Jerusalem and all [you other people of] Judah who enter these gates, listen to this message from Yahweh!

21 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagrama hanua koro kea antahiho. Tamagrama knare huta mani'sanunema hanuta, mani fruhu kna Sabatirera Jerusalemi kumamofo kafaramimpintira feno zana erita marerita atiramita osiho.

He says, “Listen to this warning carefully! [Stop doing work] on (Sabbath/our rest) days! Stop carrying loads through these gates [on those days]!

22 Sabati knarera nontamifintira knama huga zana eri fegira nonteta, eri'zanena e'oriho. Hianagi Nagra tamagehe'ima zamasami'na Sabati kna ruotge hu'ne hu'nama zamasami'noa kante amage anteta kegava hiho.

Do not carry loads out of your houses or do any [other] work on Sabbath days! Instead, cause Sabbath days to be (holy/set apart for me). I commanded your ancestors to do that,

23 Hianagi tamagri tamagehe'za ana nanekea antahi'za amagera nonte'za rukrahema hu'za ana nanekema antahi zankura zamavaresra hu'ne. Ana nehu'za zamavumro'ma ante kema huana zamagesa ante'za ontahi'naze.

but they did not listen to me or obey me. When I did things to correct them, they stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said or to accept it.

24 Hianagi Nagri nanekema antahita, kuma kafaramimpinti'ma feno zama erita atiramita mareritama nosuta, zagore'ma notreta, Sabati kna zupa eri'zama e'norita, Sabatima kegavama hanage'za,

But I say that if you obey me, and if you do not carry loads through these gates [on Sabbath days] or do any other work on Sabbath days, and if you dedicate the Sabbath days to me,

25 kini vahemo'zane eri'za vahe zamimo'zanena ama ana kuma kafaramimpinti mareri'za atirami'za huvava hugahaze. E'ina nehanigeno Deviti nagapinti kinia efore hunante anante hu'za Jerusalemi kumapina kini tratera manigahaze. Maka zupa kini vahemo'zane eri'za vahe'zamimo'zanena, karisizamifine hosi agumpine mani'neza, kuma kafaramimpintira mareri'za atirami'za nehu'za, Juda vahe amu'nompina vano hugahaze. Ana nehanage'za ama rankumapina vahera manivava hu'za vugahaze.

kings of Judah [MTY] and [their] officials will [continue to] go in and out of these gates. There will [always] be someone who is a descendant of [MTY] [King] David ruling [here] [MTY] in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates, riding in chariots and on horses, and there will be people living in this city forever.

26 Hagi Jerusalemi kuma'mofoma megagi'nea kumatamimpinti'ene Juda mopafima me'nea kumatamimpinti'ene, Jerusalemi kuma tavaonte'ma megagi'nea ne'onse kumatamimpinti'ene, Benzameni naga'mokizmi mopafinti'ene, zage fre kazigama me'nea ne'onse agonaramimofo agafinti'ene, agonaramimpima me'nea mopafinti'ene, Negevi kazigatiki hu'za vahera ne-e'za, tevefima kre fananehu ofane, mago'a ofaramine, witi ofaramine, mana nentake'za insensine, muse ofanena eri'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nontega egahaze.

And people will come [to Jerusalem] bringing offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings. They will bring to the temple grain offerings and incense and offerings to thank [me]. People will bring those offerings from the towns in Judah and the villages near Jerusalem and from the land [where the tribe] of Benjamin [lives] and from the western foothills and from the desert in the south.

27 Hianagi tamagra Nagri kema ontahita Sabatima kegavama nosuta, mago'a knare'ma nehazaza huta, Jerusalemi kumamofo kafaramimpinti'ma fenozama erita marerita atiramita nehuta Sabati zupama ke'onke zama zagore'ma atresage'na, Nagra Jerusalemi kuma kafaramintera teve tagintesanugeno nereno, Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ranra nontaminena teno vuno eno huno neresigeno, mago vahe'mo'a ana tevea rusura osugahie.

But if you do not pay attention to what I say, and if you refuse to dedicate the Sabbath days to me, and if you [continue to] carry loads through these gates into the city on Sabbath days, I will burn these gates completely. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out that fire.”’”
