Zeremaia 23

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri vahetema kegavama nehaza kva vahe'mota, Nagri vahera zamazeri haviza nehazankita, hago hazenkefi mani'naze. Sipisipima kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'za sipisipi naga'ma repanani hazage'za hazagre'za frazankna tamagra nehaze.

Yahweh declares, “Terrible things will happen to [the leaders] [MET] [of my people—those who are like] shepherds of [the people who are like] my sheep—because they have scattered my people and sent them away, and have not taken care of them.

2 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzana Israeli vahemota Anumzamo'a ana sipisipi kva vahe'motagura amanage huno nehie. Tamagra Nagri sipisipi nagara repanani nehuta, kantera zamavare fatgo huta ovu'naze. Ana nehuta kegava hu so'e huozamante'naze. Tamagrama e'inahu havi avu'ava zama hu'naza agafare Nagra nona hu'na tamazeri haviza hugahue huno hu'ne.

So, this is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say to those leaders: ‘Instead of taking care of my people and [leading them to places where they are safe, like a shepherd does for] his sheep, you have scattered them. So I will punish you for the evil things that you have done.

3 Hagi ana'ma hute'na Nagra vaheni'ama zamazeri panani huge'zama ru moparegama umani emanima hu'nazaregatira, osi'a naga'ma ofri'ma mani'nazama'a ete zamavare tru hugahue. Ana hanuge'za ete mopa zamire e'za emanine'za mofavrea kasezmante'za hakare hu'za ome ra hugahaze.

But later I will gather those who are still alive, from the countries where I have forced them to go. I will bring them back to their own country, where they will have many children, and their number/population will increase.

4 Hagi Nagra kasefa kva vahe zamazeri otisuga'za kegava huzmantegahaze. Ana hanuge'za mago'enena korora huge zmagogogura osugahaze. Anampintira magomo'e huno fananea osugahie huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

[Then] I will appoint [other] leaders for my people, leaders who will take care of them. And my people will never be afraid [DOU] of anything again, and none of them will be [like a] lost [sheep].’”

5 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, magokna ne-eanki'na Nagra Deviti nagapintira mago fatgo avu'ava ene kini ne' azeri otigahue. Ana hanugeno agra kinia mani'neno, knare antahi zanteti'ene fatgo avu'ava zanteti'ene fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'avazante'ene huno agrama kegavama hania mopafi vahera kegava huzmantegahie.

Yahweh [also] says, “Some day I will appoint for you a righteous man who will be a descendant of King David. He will be a king who rules wisely. He will do what is just and right throughout the land.

6 Hagi agrama kinima manino kegavama hania knafina, Juda vahe'ene Israeli vahe'mo'zanena mago zankura zamagesa ontahi knare hu'za zamagu'vazi'za manigahaze. Ana hanage'za vahe'mo'za ana ne'mofo agima ahesazana, Ra Anumzamo'a tagri fatgo avu'ava zamofo agafa'a mani'ne hu'za agia ahegahaze.

At that time, all the Israeli people [DOU] will be saved [from their enemies], and they will be safe. And his name will be ‘Yahweh, the one who vindicates/defends us.’”

7 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a huno, mago kna ne-eankita tamagra amanage huta osugahaze. Tamagerfa huno Ra Anumzana ofri mani'nea Anumzankino, Israeli vahera tavre atiramigeta Isipi mopafintira e'none huta osugahaze.

Yahweh [also] says that at that time, people [who are solemnly promising to do something] will no longer say, “[I will do it as surely] as Yahweh lives, who rescued the Israeli people from Egypt.”

8 Hianagi zamagra amanage hu'za hugahaze. Ofri kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamo'a noti kaziga mopafintira Israeli vahera zamavare atiramino ne-eno, ru moparegama zamavare trege'zama kinama ome huterema hu'naregatira ete zamavare atru hugahie. Ana hanige'za ete mopazamifi emanigahaze hu'za hugahaze.

Instead, they will say, “[I will do it] as surely as Yahweh lives, who brought [us] Israeli people back to our own land, from the land to the northeast and from all the [other] countries to which he had exiled us.” And they will live in their own land [again].

9 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ruotage'ma hu'nea naneke'ama kasnampa vahe'ma ome zamasamio huno'ma nenasamigeno'a, tumo'nimo'a nata negrigeno zaferinani'a omne amne hu'ne. Ana nehigeno aka ti ne'neno rama'a waini ti ne'nea vahe'mo, negi nagi nehuno traka huno umasete emasete hiaza hu'noe.

I am very shocked because of the sacred message that Yahweh has spoken about [what will happen to] the [false] prophets; [it is as though] all my bones shake. I stagger like a man who is drunk after drinking a lot of wine.

10 Hagi rumofo a'ene rumofo venema monko'zama hu avu'ava'zamo'a mopafina avitegeno, amama mani'naza mopamo'a sifnafi mani'neno kragi'nerie. Ana higeno mopamo'a hagege nehigeno, ka'ma kokampima me'nea trazamo'enena hagege hu'ne. Na'ankure kasnampa vahe'mo'za maka'zama nehaza zamo'a kumi zanke nehu'za, zamagrama eriga eri'zana hankaveti'za e'ori'naze.

The land is full of [people who commit] adultery; and [Yahweh] has cursed the land. Even the pastures in the desert are all dried up, because the people do what is evil, and [the false prophets] use their power to do things that are not just/fair.

11 Hagi mago'ene Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Kasnampa vahemo'zane pristi vahemo'zanena Nagri navu'nava zana amagera nontaze. Ana nehu'za Nagri mono nompinena havi avu'ava zana nehazage'na nezamagoe.

Yahweh says, “[Yes, even] the priests and the prophets are ungodly; they do wicked things even in my temple.

12 E'ina hu'negu kama vanaza kamo'a kriri hatu hu'nea kampi vazankna nehanage'na, zamaretufe atresuge'za ome traka hu'za masegahaze. Na'ankure zamagrama hu'naza avu'ava zante'ma nonama hu'na zamazeri haviza hanua kafumo'a ne-eanki'na, knaza zamigahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

Therefore, [it will be as though] the paths that they walk on are slippery. [It will be as though] they are being chased in the darkness, and there they will fall down, because I will cause them to experience disasters at the time that I will punish them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”

13 Hagi ana nehazage'za Samelia kumate'ma nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'zama mago kasrino havizama hu'nea avu'ava zama hu'naza zama ke'noana, zamagra Bali havi anumzamofo agifi kasnampa kea nehu'za, Israeli vaheni'a zamavare'za havi kante vu'naze.

[Previously] I saw that the prophets in Samaria were doing something that was wrong; they were prophesying, saying that Baal [gave them the messages that they were proclaiming], and they were deceiving my people.

14 Hianagi Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za zamagranena, havizama hu'nea zamavu'zmava zama nehazage'na Nagrama zamage'noana, ru vahe a'nene monko avu'avaza nehu'za, maka zupa havige kege hu'naze. Ana nehu'za havi avu'ava zama nehaza vahera hu izo huzmantage'za mago'ene havi avu'ava zana huvava nehu'za atre'za rukrahera hu'za ome'naze. Nagrama maka vahe'ma zamagoana Sodomu kumate vahe kna hu'za haviza nehazage'za, Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za Gomora kumate vahe kna hu'za haviza hu'naze.

And [now] I have seen the prophets in Jerusalem doing terrible things. They commit adultery and habitually tell lies. They encourage evil people to continue to do evil things, with the result that the people do not stop sinning. Those prophets are as wicked as the people in Sodom and Gomorrah were.

15 E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa vahekura amanage hu'ne, Nagra aka traza nezamina avuataga zama me'nea tinena zamisuge'za negahaze. Na'ankure Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahepinti havi avu'ava zamo'a agafa huteno ama mopafina vuno eno hu'ne.

So, this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says about those [false] prophets: “I will give those prophets bitter things to eat and poison to drink, because it is because of them that this land is filled with [people who do] wicked things.”

16 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Kasnampa vahe'mo'zama kasnampa kema nehaza nanekea ontahiho. Na'ankure tamagrikura knare huta manigahaze hu'za havi kasnampa nanekea nehaze. Ana nanekema nehazana Ra Anumzamo'na Nagra osu'noa naneke nehazanki, zamagra'a antahintahifinti havige huza ava'nagna zana ke'none huza nehaze.

This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Do not pay any attention to what those [false] prophets say to you, because they are just deceiving you. They tell you about visions that they have thought/created [only] in their own minds, not about visions that I have given them.

17 Hagi ama ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za Nagri nanekema amage'ma nontaza vahekura hu'za, Anumzamofo rimpa fru zamo'a tamagrane mesie nehu'za, kema nontahi'za zamagra'a zamavesite'ma vanoma nehaza vahekura hu'za, hazenke zamo'a tamagritera omegahie hu'za nehaze.

They habitually say to those who hate me, ‘[Yahweh says that] you will have peace.’ And they say to those who stubbornly do what they want to do, ‘Nothing bad will happen to you [because of your doing those things].’

18 Hianagi nagra Jeremaia'na hu'na, ana kasnampa vahepintira iza Ra Anumzamofo atrufina Agri avuga mani'neno, agra avufintira Anumzamofona negeno nanekema hiana antahi'ne? Ana hu'neankino Agrama hia nenekea mago'mo'e huno agesafintira ontahi'ne.

But none of them has ever been in a council [meeting] in heaven in order to listen to a message from me. None of them has paid attention to anything that [I], Yahweh, have said.

19 Hagi keho! Ra Anumzamofo arimpahe zamo'a, ununkomo'ma nehiaza huno ne-e. Ana nehiankino Agri rimpa ahe'zamo'a kagikagi zahomo nehiaza huno ruherafi ramino eno, havi avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamasenia eme rentrako hugahie.

So, listen to this: I will punish them; it will be [like] a great storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of those wicked people.

20 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo arimpa ahe'zamo'a vagaore mevava huno nevanigeno, nazano hugahuema huno antahi'nesia zana ana maka huvagaregahie. Henka'a ana maka zama ome vagaresania zupa, tamagra ama ana zankura antahi ama' hugahaze.

I will not stop being angry until I completely accomplish all that I have planned. In the future, you will understand [all of] this clearly.”

21 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra ana kasnampa vahera huozamante'noe. Hianagi zamagra'a zamagesafinti kasnampa kea hu'za nevu'za, Nagra nanekea ozamasami noanagi, zamagra zamagesafinti havi kasnampa kea ome huama nehaze.

[Yahweh also says, ] “I have not appointed those prophets, but they run [around telling people their messages]. I did not speak to them, but they [continue to] prophesy.

22 Hianagi Nagri atrufima zamagra mani'ne'za nagri nanekema antahi'naresina, Nagri nanekea huama hu'za vaheni'a zamasamizage'za nentahi'za, kefo avu'azama nehaza kante'ma nevaza zana atre'za rukrahe hu'za ne-eza, havi avu'ava zampintira atre'za azasine.

If they had been in my council [meetings], they would have been able to speak messages from me, and they would have caused people to turn away from committing evil things.”

23 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagrama antahi'zana, amama mani'nona mopa'afinke Anumzana Agra mani'neno, afete ru moparega Anumzana omani'ne huta nehazafi?

Yahweh [also] says, “Am I a God who is only nearby? No, I am a God who is far away, also.

24 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, tamagrama antahi'zana mago vahemo'ma fra'ma ki'nesaniana Nagrikura onkegahie huta nehazo? Ra Anumzamo'a huno, monafine mopafinema Nagrama mani avi'mate'noana tamagra ontahi'nazafi?

So, no one can hide in some secret place with the result that I cannot see him. I am everywhere, in heaven and on the earth! [That is what I], Yahweh, say!

25 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, ama ana kasnampa vahe'mo'zama Nagri nagifima havige kasnampa nanekema hu'nazana, nagra ko antahi'noe. Ana kasnampa nanekea amanage hu'naze. Nagra mago ava'na ke'noe, nagra mago ava'na ke'noe hu'za hu'naze.

I have heard those prophets prophesy lies, saying that they are telling people messages from me. They say, ‘[Listen to me tell you] the dream that God gave me last night! I [really] had this dream!’

26 Hagi ama ana kasnampa vahe'mo'zama zamagra'a zamagu'afinti'ma eri fore hu'zama havi kasnampa nanekema huama'ma hu'za nevaza zana, nazupa ome atregahaze. Zamagrira zamagu'amo rezmavatga hige'za havi kasnampa naneke eri fore hu'za huama nehaze.

How long will they continue to do this? How long will those lying prophets continue to prophesy things that come only from their own minds?

27 Hagi zamagra havige ava'nama ke'naza ava'na kea huge antahige nehu'za, zamagrama antahi'zana ana nehanunke'za Anumzamofona antahi omisaze hu'za hu'naze. Zamagehe'za e'inahu avu'avaza hu'za Nagrira antahi onami'za Bali havi anumzante monora hu'naze.

They think that because of the dreams that they tell to each other, people will forget me, like their ancestors forgot about me when they started to worship Baal.

28 Hagi mago kasnampa ne'mo'ma ava'nama ke'nesaniana atrenkeno agra ana ava'na huama hino. Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma Nagritegati'ma nanekema eri'nesania vahe'mo'a Nagrama asami'nesanua nanekea hu fatgo huno vahera zamasamino. Nagri nanekemo'a witimofo raga'agna hu'ne. Hianagi ana kasnampa vahe'mokizimi nanekemo'a witimofo akrua gna hu'ne.

Allow those [false] prophets to tell people their dreams, but those who have messages that [really] come from me should proclaim those messages faithfully. I, Yahweh, say [that like] straw and grain are certainly very different, [my messages and the messages from those false prophets are certainly very different].

29 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri nanekemo'a tevegna hune'no, hamankna hu'neankino havea rufrageno rako huno rufuzafu petregahie.

[It is as though] my messages [burn] like a fire; they [strike people’s inner beings like] someone strikes a rock with a hammer and smashes it into pieces.

30 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Antahiho! Nagrama mago vahe'ma asami'nenua nanekema musufama erino, Anumzamo nesami'nea naneke huno'ma huama'ma hania kasnampa vahera ha'rentegahue.

Therefore, [I, ] Yahweh say, 'I oppose all those prophets who steal messages from each other and claim that those messages came from me.

31 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, zamagra'a zamagiteti havi kasnampa nanekema nehu'za, Anumzamo tamia naneke nehunema hu'za nehaza kasnampa vahera tamagerfa hu'na ha' rezamantegahue.

I oppose those prophets who speak their own messages but claim that those messages came from me.

32 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ava'nama ke'naza zanku'ma havi kasnampa kema nehaza vahera ha' rezamantegahue. Zamagra havige hu'za vaheni'a rezamatga hu'za zamavare'za havi kante nevaze. Nagra ana vahera huhamparite'na huzamantoge'za ome'naze. Ana hu'neankino zamagrama haza zamo'a ama vahera zamaza osutfa nehie, huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I oppose those prophets who falsely say that I told them something in a vision, but they are [only] telling lies that cause my people to sin. I did not send those prophets. I did not even appoint them [to be prophets]. And they have no messages that will benefit my people at all.' [That is what I, ] Yahweh, declare.”

33 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Jeremaianagura huno, Mago vahemo'o, mago kasnampa nemo'o, mago pristi vahemo'o kagrite'ma eno, henkama fore'ma hania zankura Ra Anumzamo'a mago'a kasnampa kea kasaminefi tasamioma hanagenka, mago kasnampa kea omneneanki, Ra Anumzamo'a tamatregahie hunka zamasamio.

[Yahweh said to me], “If one of those prophets or priests or one of the [other] people asks you, ‘What problem has Yahweh told you about [now]?’, you must reply, ‘You are the problem! And Yahweh says that he will abandon you!’

34 Hagi mago vahe'mo'o, mago kasnampa vahe'mo'o mago pristi vahemo'ma havigema huno ama kasnampa kea Ra Anumzamo nasamige'na huama nehuema huno hania vahera, Nagra ana vahe'ene noma'afima nemaniza naga'enena ana maka ranknaza zamigahue.

And if any prophet or priest or anyone [else falsely] says, ‘[I have] a prophecy from Yahweh,’ I will punish that person and his family.

35 Hagi nagra Jeremaia'nama tamasami'nuana, tamafuhe'zane tamagri tavaonte'ma nemaniza vahe'enena amanage huta ontahige antahige hiho. Na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona nehie nehuta, na'ane huno nanekea nehie? huta hiho.

What you should continually ask each other is, ‘[When you spoke to Yahweh, ] what did he reply? What is he saying [to us]?’

36 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa kemo'a amanahu hune huta mago'enena huamara osiho. Na'ankure tamagra'a naneke huama nehuta, tagri Anumzama Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzama kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo nanekea eri akrahe krahu nehaze.

But stop saying ‘[I have] a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ because those who say that are doing it only because they want people to accept their ideas, and by doing that they distort/change the messages that are from our God, the Commander of the armies of angels.

37 Hagi mago vahemo'ma ana kema hania kasnampa vahe'ma antahigenakura amanage huno antahigeno. Na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona huneganteno, na'ane huno nanekea kasami'ne?

This is what you should ask each prophet: ‘What did Yahweh reply [when you talked to him]? What is he saying [to us]?’

38 Hianagi tamagra huta ama'i Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa naneke huta nehazanagi, Nagra e'inahu nanekea osiho hu'na i'o huramante'noe. Hianagi Nagri kea eri netreta, ete ama'i Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa naneke huta nehaze.

If he replies, ‘[What I told you] is a prophecy/message from Yahweh,’ you should say to him, ‘You have continued to say, “[I received] a prophecy/message from Yahweh” even though I told you to not claim that you have received prophecies/messages from Yahweh.’

39 E'ina hu'negu Nagra naganekani nezami'na, Nagri tava'ontetira tamaretufe atresugeta, tamafahe'ine tamagri'enema tami'noa rankumara atreta vugahaze.

So I [, Yahweh, ] will get rid of you [false prophets]. I will expel you from my presence. And I will get rid of this city that I gave to you and to your ancestors.

40 Hagi Nagra tamatrenugeta tamagaze zampi mani vava huta nevuta, havi tamagia erita vuvava nehuta anazankura tamagera okanigahaze.

I will cause people to make fun of you forever. People will never forget that you were disgraced.”
