Zeremaia 6

1 Tamagra Benzameni nagamota Jerusalemi kumapintira atiramita atreta freho. Hagi Tekoa kumatetira ufena nerenke'za, Bet-hakeremi kumatetira mago avame zana inuna kreta resu nehinke'za nege'za vahe'mo'za korora fre'za ome zamagura vaziho. Na'ankure noti kazigati hankave sondia vahe neazanki'za knazana eme tamiza tamazeri havizantfa hugahaze.

“You people in Jerusalem who are from [the tribe of] Benjamin, flee from this city! Blow the trumpets in Tekoa [city south of Jerusalem]! Send up a [smoke] signal in Beth-Haccherem [town] [to warn the people of the coming danger]! A powerful [army] will come from the north, and they will cause great destruction.

2 Jerusalemi kumamoka hentofaza hunka frufru kavufgane mofani'agna hu'nananagi Nagra kazeri haviza hugahue.

Jerusalem is [like] a beautiful pasture [full of sheep], but it will soon be destroyed.

3 Kini vahe'mo'za ha' huramante'naku sondia vahezamia zamavaretere hu'za e'za Jerusalemi rankumamofo megi'a mopa eme refko huza eri zmante hute'za seli nozmia kiza manine'za avazigi kagigahaze.

[Enemy kings, not] shepherds [MET], will come [with their armies] and set up their tents around the city, and each [king will choose a part of the city for his soldiers to destroy like] [MET] shepherds divide their pastures for their flocks of sheep.

4 Ana vahe'mo'za kezati'za, otita retrotra hinketa kinaga vuta hara ome huzmantamneno hu'za huga hazanagi, ete henka amanage hugahaze, ko zage ufre'za higeno zage tamema'amo'a ko ome zaza hie hu'za hugahaze.

[The kings will tell their troops], “Get ready for the battle. We should attack them before noontime. But [if we arrive there late in the afternoon] when the shadows are becoming long,

5 E'ina hu'neanagi ame huta otinketa hanimpi hara ome huzmanteta, hankave vihu keginazamia vuta ome tapage hutresanune hugahaze.

we will attack them at night and tear down their fortresses.”

6 Hu'neanagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Jerusalemi kumamofo megi'ama megagi'nea zafaramina antagitreta ana zafareti tukera aheta kuma keginamofo tavaonte ante hihi hinkeno marerina, anante manineta hara huzmantegahaze. Na'ankure Jerusalemi kumapina vahe'ma azeri haviza hu'zamo avite'ne.

Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, says this: “[I will command those soldiers to] cut down the trees [outside Jerusalem] and to build dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [in order that they can enter the city]. This city must be punished because everyone there continually oppresses others.

7 Hagi Jerusalemi kumapintira, kefo avu'ava zamo'a tinkerifinti timo aviteteno herafiramino eviankna huno enevie. Ana kumapina vahe'ma hazenkema nezamiza zamo'ene, maka zama eri havizama nehaza zamofo agasasamo avite'ne. Ana hige'na Nagrama koana kri vahe'ene zamahe kuzafa'ma ante'naza vaheke'za zamage'noe.

[It is as though] the wicked things that the people do pour out of the city like [SIM] water flows out of a spring. [The noise from people doing] violent and destructive actions is heard everywhere. I continually see [people who are] suffering and wounded.

8 Hagi Jerusalemi vahe'mota ama koro kema hanuana antahiho. Tamagra ama nanekema ontahisage'na, Nagra namefi hunerami'na mopatamia eri haviza hanugeno, ama ana mopafina vahera omanitfa hugahie.

Listen to what I am warning you, [you people of] [APO] Jerusalem, because if you do not listen, I will reject you and cause your land to become desolate, a land where no one lives.”

9 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne. Mago vahe'mo waini hozafi vuno grepi ragama neragino atre'neama'a hakeno tagi vagareankna hu'za, Israeli vahe'ma osi'ama mani'naza vahera ha' vahe'mo'za eme zamahe vagaregahaze.

Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, also says this: “[I will tell your enemies] to cause your country to become as desolate [SIM] as a vineyard from which all the grapes have been completely stripped from the vines. [Their soldiers will seize the possessions of] those who remain in Israel [after the others have been exiled] like [SIM] farmers go to the vines again to pick any grapes [that were (left/not picked)].”

10 Hagi ana koro kea ina vahete vu'na ome huama hugahue. Iza nagri kea antahigahie? Zamagesamo'a ko ankani re'neanki'za kea ontahigahaze. Ra Anumzamofo nanekemo'a kiza zokago zankna hige'za zamavesra nehaze.

[Then I said, “If I speak to the Israeli people] to warn them, (who will listen to me?/No one will listen to me.) [RHQ] [It is as though] their ears are closed, [and as a result] they cannot hear [what I say]. They scorn Yahweh’s messages; they do not want to listen to them at all.

11 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamofo rimpa ahezamo nagripina avitege'na azeri'nama vuazamo'a tusiza huno navesra hu'ne. Anagema hugeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a huno, ana narimpa ahe'zana eri kaha hutregeno kumamofo karampima zokago'ma neraza mofavre nagate'ene, atruma hu'za nemaniza nahezave nagate'ene, veneneraminte'ene a'ne zamire'ene, tavava ozafaraminte esanige'za narimpa ahe'zana erigahaze.

So [now] I am extremely angry, like Yahweh is angry, and I cannot restrain it any longer.” [So] Yahweh said [to me], “Tell everyone that you are very angry with them. Tell the children in the streets and the young men who gather together. Tell the men and their wives; tell the very old people [DOU], also.

12 Hagi Nagra zamazeri haviza hanuge'za ru vahe'mo'za nozamine mopazamine a'nezaminena erigahaze. Na'ankure Nagra hankavenentake nazana erisga hu'na ama'na mopafima nemaniza vahera zamazeri haviza hugahue. Ra Anumzamo'na ama ana nanekea huama nehue.

[Tell the men that] I will give their houses to [their enemies], and I will give their property/fields and their wives to them, also, when I punish [IDM] the people who live in this land.

13 Hagi maka zamagima omane vaheteti'ma vuno zamagima me'nea vahete'ma vigeno'a, antahintahi zamifina agraguke'ma nentahino havige'ma huno zagoma erino fenoma erivite zankuke zamave'nesie. Kasnampa vahe'mo'zane pristi vahe'mo'zanena anazanke hu'za vahera rezmataga hu'za zagoa e'nerize.

Everyone is trying to get money by tricking others, from the most [important people] to the least [important people]; even the prophets and the priests are trying to deceive [people to get money].

14 Hagi Nagri vahera zamavufagafina ra namu me'neanagi pristi vahe'ene kasnampa vahe'mo'za antahi amneza hu'za ana namuna anaki so'e hunozamante'za anage nehaze, hazenkezana omne'neanki fru huta manigahaze hu'za vahera nezamasamize. Hianagi fruma huno manizana nomane.

[They act as though the sins of my people are like] [MET] small wounds that they do not need to put bandages on. They continually [greet people by] saying ‘I hope things are going well with you,’ when things are not going well.

15 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za agoterfa avu'ava zama hu'naza zankura zamagazea nosifi? I'o ana zankura havi zamavugosa nehu'za magore hu'za zamagazegura nosaze. E'ina hu'neanki'na Nagrama zamazeri haviza hanua zupa mago'a vahe'ma zamahema frisufi zamagranena frigahaze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

They should be [RHQ] ashamed about the disgusting things that they do, but they are not ashamed at all. They do not [even] know how to (blush/show on their faces that they are ashamed). So, they also will be among those who will be killed. They will be destroyed when I punish them.”

16 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne. Kama hatna'ma hu'nere oti'neta korapa'ma knare kama me'nege'za tagehe'zama vanoma hu'naza kana ina me'ne huta hiho. Hagi knare kama keta eri fore'ma hanuta ana kante nevuta tamarimpa frua erigahaze. Hianagi tamagra amanage huta nehaze, I'o e'i ana kantera ovugahune huta nehaze.

This is [also] what Yahweh said [to the Israeli people]: “Stand at the crossroads and look [at the people who pass by]. Ask them what was the good behavior [that their ancestors had] long ago. [And when they tell you], behave that way. If you do that, you will find rest for your souls.” But you replied, ‘We do not want to do that!’

17 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra hanine zagenena tamagrite'ma kvama hanaza vahera huhampari zamantoge'za mani'neza, ufe krafama antahisagu tamagesa anteta antahiho hu'za neramasami zanagi tamagra ontahigahune huta nehaze.

I sent [my prophets who were like] [MET] watchmen. They said, ‘Listen carefully when we blow the trumpets [to warn you that your enemies are approaching],’ but you said, ‘[No], we do not want to listen.’

18 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a huno, kokankokama ama mopafima nemaniza vahe'mota antahiho. Vaheniare'ma eri fore'ma hanua zana akoheta mani'neta keho.

Therefore, you people in the other nations, listen to this: Pay attention to what is going to happen to the [Israeli people].

19 Hagi kokankokama ama mopafima nemaniza vahe'mota antahiho. Nagra Israeli vahete'ma hazenke zama atresanugeno esaniana, zamagrama havi antahintahima retro'ma hu'naza zante nona hu'na knazana zamigahue. Na'ankure Nagrama hua nanekea amagera nonte'za, kasegeni'a zamefi humi'naze.

Listen, all of you! I am going to cause the [Israeli] people to experience disasters. That is what will happen to them because they have refused to listen to what I told them. They have refused to obey my laws.

20 Hagi Tamagra Seba kumateti'ma erita e'naza mananentake zama frenkinsensi reti'ma ofama nehaza ofagu'ene, Kalamusiema nehaza mananentake hake zotama, afete moparegati'ma eri'za e'naza zanteti'ma ofama hunantaza zankura Nagra musena nosue. Ana nehu'na tevefima kre fananehu ofama nehaza ofane ruga'a ofaramima nehaza ofama negogeno'a, Nagri navurera knarera nosie.

[You Israeli people], when you burn frankincense that came from [far away in] Sheba, and [when you offer to me] sweet-smelling anointing oil that came from far away, I will not [RHQ] be pleased with your sacrifices. I will not accept the sacrifices that are completely burned on the altar; I am not pleased with [any of] your sacrifices.

21 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne. Nagri vahe'mo'zama kama vanoma nehazafina tanafa'ma hanazaza ante'nesanuge'za anampinti tanafa nehanage'za, venenemoza'ne ne' mofavrezamine, tvaonte'ma nemaniza vahe'ene rone zamimo'zanena maka tanafa hu'za mase'za frivaga regahaze.

Therefore, I will put obstacles on the roads on which my people will travel. Men and their sons and people’s neighbors and friends will stumble over those obstacles and fall down; everyone will die.”

22 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne. Noti kazigama me'nea moparegati ha' vahera neazanki keho. Ana vahera mopa ome atretegati vaheki'za, zamagra hankavenentake hu'nazanki'za menina oti'za ha'zana retrotra nehaze.

Yahweh [also] says this: “You will see a [huge] army marching [towards you] from the north. [An army of] a great nation very far away is preparing [to attack you].

23 Hagi ana sondia vahe'mo'za atine kevenena zamazampi eri'neza neaze. Hagi zamagra vahekura zamasunku osu'za vahe'ma hazenkezmi vahekiza zamagra hosi afu'mofo agumpi mani'neza hahunaku erimpi hu'za neazankino, zamagasasamo'a hagerimo rupokraneseno neriankna zamagasasane neaze. Anama neazana so'e zantfama hu'nea Jerusalemi kuma eri haviza hunaku retro hu'za neaze.

They have bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. As they ride along on their horses, the horses’ feet sound like the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you people of Jerusalem.”

24 Hagi Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za hu'za, tagra ana ha' vahe'mokizmi zamagenkea ko antahi nonankita, menina tahirahiku nehunkeno zaferinati omne amne nehie. Ana nehigeta menina tasu zampi mani'neta antahintahi hakare nehuta, mofavre antenaku nehia a'mo ata hoza e'neriankna huta tusi tatazampi nemanune.

[The people of Jerusalem say], “We have heard reports about the enemy; [so] we are very frightened, with the result that we feel weak. We are very afraid, and worried, like [SIM] women who are about to give birth to babies.

25 Hagi ha' vahetimo'za mika kaziga manivaga razanki kampina vano nosuta, hozareganena vuta eta osiho. Na'ankure ha' vahe'mo'za bainati kazi eri'neza mika kaziga mani vagare'naze.

[So one person says to another], ‘Do not go out into the fields! Do not go on the roads, because the enemy [soldiers] have swords [and they are everywhere]; they are coming from all directions, and we are extremely afraid.’”

26 Anage higeno Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri vahemota tamasunku kukena erinentanita, ta'nefa erita nefreta magoke ne'mofavrema ante'nea vahemo'ma ana mofavrema frigeno asunku huno zavi'ma ateaza huta tusi zavi krafa hiho. Na'ankure maka zama eri havizama nehaza sondia vahe'mo'za ame hu'za e'za eme tamazeri haviza hugahaze.

[So I say], “My dear people, put on (sackcloth/rough clothes) and sit in ashes [to show that you are sorry for your sins]. Mourn and cry very much, like [SIM] [a woman would cry] if her only son had died, because your enemies are very near, and they are going to destroy [everything].”

27 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a nagrikura huno, ainima tevefi kreteno e'i ainifi huno rezaganeno keso'ema nehia vahekna hu'na, Jeremaiaga huhampri kantoe. Ana huankinka Nagri vahe'mokizmi zamavu'zmava zana rezaganenka keso'e hugahane.

[Then Yahweh said to me], “[Jeremiah], I have caused you to become [like] [MET] someone who heats metal very hot [to completely burn the impurities]. You will examine my people’s behavior.

28 Hagi zamagra zamagu'amo'a hankavetige'za keontahi vahe mani'naze. Ana vahera ke huhaviza hu'za vahera ke nezamasaza vahe mani'naze. Ana hu'nazanki'za zamagra vahe'ma zamazeri haviza huke hu'za vano nehazanki'za bronsimo'ene ainimoke'ma hankavema tiankna huno antahintahizmimo'a hankaveti'nea vahe mani'naze. Ana hu'nazanki'za maka kefo avu'avazanke nehaza vahe mani'naze.

You will find out that they are very stubborn rebels, they are always slandering others. [Their inner beings] are as hard as bronze or iron; they all [continually] deceive others.

29 Tevema hugre akru'ma nehia tefereti tevea hugre anefa higeno silva te maramra huno aenia eri otege nehie. Hianagi ana silvafintira retiema nehia ainia kreno eri zo-onkigeno ana eri'zamo'a vuno amne zankna nehie. E'ina avamente vahe'mo'za havi avu'ava zana otre'za huvava hu'za nevaze.

[A metalworker causes] the bellows to blow very hard to [make the fire very hot to] completely burn up the impurities [MET]. [But just as] a fire does not cause all the waste material to run off, it is impossible to separate [the righteous people from the wicked people, and punish only] the wicked people.

30 Hagi zamagra haviza hu'nea silvama eri trazankna vahe mani'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ko amefi huzami'ne.

[I], Yahweh, have rejected them; I say that they are [like] [MET] worthless silver.”
