Zeremaia 4

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Israeli vahe'mota enaku'ma hanuta nagrite ete rukrahe huta eho. Hagi haviza huno agoterfa anumzaramina Nagri navureti'ma eri atresuta kana atreta hazagreta havifina ovugahaze.

Yahweh says, “You Israeli [people], come back to me! If you get rid of those detestable idols and do not turn away from me [again],

2 Hagi tamagrama fatgo huno refkohu avu'ava nehuta, fatgo avu'ava'ma nehuta kasefa hu'na mani'noa Anumzamo'na nagifima huvempama hanage'na, Nagra asomu huramantenuge'za ruga'a vahe'mo'zama nege'za, e'ima hanaza hunka asomu huranto hu'za eme nehu'za, Nagri nagi'a ahentesga hugahaze.

and if you declare, ‘Just as surely as Yahweh lives, what he says is true,’ and if you [start to] always say what is true and act justly/fairly and righteously, then the [people in the other] nations [of the world] will request that I bless them [as I have blessed you], and they will [all come and] honor/praise me.”

3 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vaheku'enena hu'ne. Avimzana ave've trazampina ohankreta, hankave mopamo'ma nehiaza huno tamagu'amo'ma hankavema ti'neazana, rekorita rupopo huteta avimzana aseho.

This is what Yahweh says to the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah: “[Prepare yourselves to receive my messages] like farmers plow up hard ground [in order that they can plant seed in it]. Just as farmers do not [waste good seed by] sowing seeds among thorny plants, [I do not want to waste my time telling you messages that you are not ready to receive].

4 Hagi Juda vahe'motane Jerusalemi vahe'motanena havi tamagutamagesa atreta tamagu'a rukrahe hiho. A'nama osnazana Nagri narimpa he'zamo'a tevemo hiaza huno rukru hina, mago vahe'mo'a rusura osugahie. Na'ankure tamagra kefo avu'ava'ma hu'naza zante anara hugahue.

Purify your inner beings and your minds for me. If you do not do that, my being angry with you [MTY] because of [all] the sins that you have committed will be like a fire that will be impossible to extinguish.”

5 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vaheku'enena amanage hunka zamasamio hu'ne. Amama mani'naza mopamofo agu'afina maka kaziga ufena nereta, ranke huta kezatita amanage hiho. Maka vahera eme eri tru hutenketa, koro freta hankave vihu keginama hu kagi'naza kumatamimpi ufresune huta hiho!

“Declare this [DOU] to [all the people in] Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea; blow the trumpets everywhere in the land [to warn the people]. Tell them that they should flee to the cities that have high walls around them.

6 Hagi mago avame zana flekia tro huteta anamifi erintesga huta nevuta, Jerusalemi kumapima mani'naza vahera amanage huta korokea huzamiho. Ame huta koro freta vuta fra'ma kisaza kumaku hakeho. Na'ankure Nagra noti kazigati ranknaza atre'nugeno eno eme tamazeri haviza hugahie.

Shout to the people of Jerusalem, ‘Run away [now]! Do not delay, because I am about to cause you to experience a terrible disaster [DOU] that will come from the north.

7 Hagi laionimo frakino mani'nefinti atiramiaza huno, ha' vahe'mo'za kumazamifintira e'za tamagri kumara eme eri haviza hugahaze. Ana vahera maka nonkumatami eri haviza nehaza vaheki'za maka zama mopatamifima me'neana eme eri haviza nehu'za, ranra kumatamina eme ahetapage hutresageno anampina magore huno vahera omanitfa hugahie.

[An army] that has destroyed [many] nations will attack you [like] [MET] a lion that comes out of its den [to attack other animals]. [The soldiers of that army] have taken down their tents and they are ready to march toward your land. They will destroy your cities and leave them without any people still living in them.’

8 E'ina hu'negu tamagra tamasunku kukena nentanita, tamasunku huta tusi zavi krafage hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa aheneranteankino, ana rimpa ahezamo'a mevava huno nevie.

So, put on sackcloth/rough clothes and weep and beat your chests [to show that you are very sorry for what you have done], because Yahweh is still very angry with us.

9 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, anazama fore'ma hania knafina kini vahe'ene kva vahe'mo'zanena, antri nehanageno muha zazamia omanegahie. Ana nehanage'za pristi vahe'mo'za tusi koro nehanage'za, kasnampa vahe'mo'za antahintahi hakare nehu'za mago nanekea osugahaze.

Yahweh said that at the time [he punishes you], the King of Judah and [all his] officials will be very afraid. The priests and the prophets will be terrified.

10 Hagi anante nagra amanage hu'na hu'noe. Ra Anumzamoka Jerusalemi kumapi vaheku'ma hunka, tamarimpa frune knare huta manigahaze hunka'ma hu'nana kegura, zamagra hu'za agra reravatga hu'neankino, ha' vahe'mo'za bainati kazinteti tananke eme rukafari'za nehaze hu'za nehaze.

Then I replied, “Yahweh [my] God, you completely deceived the people by telling them that there would be peace in Jerusalem, but now [our enemies] [PRS] are ready to slaughter us with their swords!”

11 Hagi mago kna ne-eankino Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi vahekura huno, hagage kokampima me'nea agonaramimpinti amuhonentake zaho'mo zahora erino nagri vahetera egahie. E'ina zahora zamana zamana hu'neno witi honama eri neharea zahora omane'neanki,

When that happens, [Yahweh] will say to the people of Jerusalem, [“A huge army will come to attack you]. They will not [be like a gentle breeze that] separates wheat from chaff. [They will be like] a very hot wind [that blows in] from the desert [MET].

12 e'i ana zahora Nagra hunta'nena egahiankino, hankavenentake zaho atufeno egahie. Ana nehu'na Nagra ana vahera keaga huzamantegahue.

[They will be like] [MET] a strong blast that I will send. Now I am declaring that I will punish/destroy you.”

13 Hagi anante nagra Jeremaia'na amanage hu'na vahera zamasami'noe. Keho, ha'ma hurantesia ne'mo'a ko'ma runaku'ma nehia hampomo rehanintiri hiankna huno tagrama mani'nontega ne-e. Ana ne'mofo karisiramimo'za kagigagi zahokna hu'za neazage'za, hosi afu'aramimo'za tumpamo'ma tusi avunema anteno hareno vanoma nehiama'a agatere'za zamagare'za neaze. Anazama nege'na hazenkefi manunankita haviza hu'none hu'na hu'noe.

[Our enemies] are about to rush down on us; their chariots are like [SIM] whirlwinds. Their horses are faster than eagles. It will be terrible for us!

14 Hagi tamagra Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota, kefo avu'ava zama nehaza zana atreta tamagu'a eri agru hiho. E'ina'ma hanuta tamagu vazi'zana erigahaze. Nama'a zupa tamagra kefo antahi'zana atre'nageno tamagu'afina meno vugahie.

[You people of] Jerusalem [APO], purify your hearts/inner beings, in order that Yahweh will rescue you. How long will you continue to think about [doing] evil things?

15 Hagi tamagrite'ma fore'ma hania knazamofo nanekema eri'za eme huama hunaku'ma neaza vahera, Dani kumateti'ene Efraemi agona kokampima me'nea kumatamimpi vahe'mo'za eri'za neaze.

From Dan [city in the far north] to the hills of Ephraim [a few miles/kilometers north of Jerusalem] messengers are proclaiming that disasters are coming.

16 Hagi ana vahera Anumzamo'a zamasamino, ana mopafima mani kagi'naza vahetamine, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahetaminena amanage huta zamasamiho, Afete moparegati ha' vahe'mo'za ibige nehu'za Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamina hahu zamantenaku neaze huta hiho.

Tell this to the [people in other] nations [but also] announce it in Jerusalem: [Yahweh says], “An army is coming to Jerusalem from far away; they will shout [a battle-cry] against the cities in Judah.

17 Ana ha' vahe'mo'za e'za Jerusalemi kumara, hozare kegava nehaza vahe kna hu'za kumatamia eme avazagi kagigahaze. Na'ankure Jerusalema nemaniza vahe'mo'zama Nagri nanekema ru hantagi'za ha'ma renante'naza zante anara huzmantegahaze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

They will set up tents around Jerusalem like people set up temporary shelters [SIM] around a field [at harvest time]. That will happen because the people of Judah have rebelled against me.

18 Hagi tamagrama manita azafima hu'naza hazenkere ama ana knazamo'a tamagritera egahie. Ana hugahiankino ana knazamo'a tusi'a akama hiankna huno tamata neramino tumo'tamia retanegahie.

You will be punished very severely; it will [be as though a sword] has stabbed your inner beings. But you are causing those things to happen to you because of the evil things that you have done.”

19 Hige'na nagra Jeremaia'na anankema nentahugeno'a, nagu'amo'a razampi nata negrigeno, tumonimo'a vagri vagri nehige'na mani so'ea osu'noe. Na'ankure ha' vahe'mo'za ha' eri'za ne-eza, ibige nehu'za ufema neraza agasasagema nentahugeno anara hu'ne.

I am extremely anguished/sad; the pain in my inner being is very severe. My heart beats wildly. But I cannot remain silent because I have heard [our enemies] blowing their trumpets to announce that the battle [against Judah will start immediately].

20 Hagi nagra negogeno knazamo'a kankamuna omino anamagenare anamagenarera huno ne-eno mika ama mopafi vahera zamazeri haviza nehige'na ke'noe. Ana nehuno nagri seli nontamina ame huno eri tapage hunetreno, asante'ma tafi tavaraveramina eri tagato higeno mopafi evurami'ne.

Disasters will occur one after another until the whole land is ruined. Suddenly [all] our tents will be destroyed; [even] the curtains [inside the tents] will be ripped apart.

21 Hagi ha' vahe'mo'za nazupa krauefa (fleki) zamia erikasi atre'za nevanage'na negesugeno ibigema nehu'za ufema neraza agasasankea ome vagaregahie?

How long will this battle continue? How long will I continue to see the enemy battle flags and hear the sound of their trumpets being blown?

22 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, hago Nagri vahe'mo'za negi nene'za Nagrira ke'za antahi'za osaze. Ana nehu'za ne'onse mofavre naga'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za ama' antahi'zana e'orize. Hagi zamagra havi avu'ava zama hu'zantera knare hu'nazanagi, fatgo avu'ava zama hu'zana ontahi'naze.

[Yahweh says], “My people are [very] foolish! They do not have a relationship with me. They are [like] [MET] stupid children who do not understand [anything]. They very cleverly do what is wrong, but they do not know how to do what is good.”

23 Hagi nagra ama mopafima ke'noana mago zana omanetfa higeno, menima me'neankna huno omane'neanki mopamo'a avugosa osu'ne. Ana hige'na monare'ma koana remsama nehia tavitamina omane'ne.

[God gave me a vision in which] I saw that the earth was barren and without form. I looked at the sky, and there was no light there.

24 Hagi ranra agonaramine ne'onse agonaramima zamagoana imi enerigeno, tore vare nehazage'na ke'noe.

I looked at the mountains and hills, and they shook and moved from side to side.

25 Hagi anama nehige'nama keganti kegamama hu'na koana, magore hu'na vahera ozamage'noe. Ana higeno maka namamo'za hare'za fre vagare'naze.

I looked and saw that there were no [more] people, and all the birds had flown away.

26 Hagi nagrama koana ko'ma afovage nehuno masavenke huno tretre'ma hu'nea mopamo'a menina hagege huno ka'ma kokankna higeno, miko rankuma tamimo'a haviza huvagare'ne. E'ina zantamima fore'ma hu'neana Ra Anumzamo tusi rimpa ahezamantegeno anara hu'ne.

I looked and saw that the fields that previously were fertile had become a desert. The cities were all ruined; they had all been destroyed by Yahweh because he was extremely angry.

27 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne. Nagra amama mani'naza mopa maka eri haviza hugahuanagi, ana makara eri haviza huvaga oregahue.

This is what Yahweh is saying: “The entire land [of Judah] will be ruined, but I will not destroy it completely.

28 E'ina agafare mopamo'a zavi krafa nehanigeno, monamo'a evuno hanintiri hugahie. Na'ankure nagra henkama fore'ma hania zana ko huama hu'noanki'na, antahizani'a ete eri rukrahera osugahue.

I will do to my people what I said that I would do, and I will not change my mind. So [when that happens, it will be as though] the earth will mourn and the sky will become very dark.”

29 Hagi hahunaku hosi agumpi mani'za neaza sondia vahe'ene, atifi keve erinte'za nehaza sondia vahe'mokizmi zamagasasankema nentahi'za, maka rankumatamimpima nemaniza vahe'mo'za kumara atre'za avonompine, have agonafine frazageno magore huno ana kumatamimpina vahera omanitfa hu'ne.

[When the people hear] the sound of the [enemy] army marching, [they will be terrified as] they flee from their cities. Some of them will find places to hide in the bushes, and others will run toward the mountains/hills [to escape being killed by their enemies]. All the cities [in Judah] will be abandoned; not one person will remain in them.

30 Hagi maka zanka'ama aguzama eme neruza maka zanka'ama eri hana'ma hu'za nevaza vahe'moka kagra na'a hugahane? Nahigenka kagra korankre hentofa kukena hu'nenka, golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza avasase zantamina eri nehankrenka kavurera penia fre'nane? E'ina avasase zantamima eri hankare'nana zantamimo'a kaza osugahie. Na'ankure kagrama kavesi nezmantana vahe'mo'za, kagrira kavesinogante'za kahe frisaza kanku nehakaze.

So you who will surely be destroyed, [why are you doing the things that you are doing now]? Why are you wearing beautiful clothes and jewelry? Why are you putting paint around your eyes? Doing those things will not help you, because the people [in other countries that you think] love you [actually] despise you, and they will try to kill you.

31 Hagi mago a'mo ese kna'a mofavrema anteku'ma nehigeno ata negrigeno krafama nehiankna krafage nentahue. Ana hu'neankino Saioni kumapi vahe'mo'za zamasimu ante'zanku nehu'za, kezati'za ha' vahe'mo'za nahe friku nehazanki eme naza huo, naza huo hu'za nehaze.

[It is as though] I already hear [the people in Jerusalem] crying very loudly, like [SIM] a woman cries when she is giving birth to her first child; she gasps for breath and pleads for someone to help her. [It is as though Jerusalem] is crying, “Something terrible is happening to me! They are about to murder me!”
