Yelemaia 16
1 Hina Gode da eno nama amane sia: i,
A message from the Lord that came to me, saying,
2 “Di amo soge ganodini, uda mae lama amola mano mae lalelegema!
Don't marry or have children here.
3 Mano amo da guiguda: lalelegesea amo ilia hou, amola ilia ada amola ame ilia hou, Na da dima olelemu.
This is what the Lord says about children born here, and about their mothers and fathers—their parents here in this country:
4 Ilia da olo bagade madelale, bogogia: mu. Amola dunu eno da iliba: le hame didigia: mu amola ilia da: i hodo hame uli dogonesimu. Be ilia da: i hodo da iga gialegei bi heda: i defele osoboga dialebe agoai ba: mu. Ilia da gegesu ganodini o ha: i bagade ganodini bogogia: mu, amola ilia da: i hodo da sio fi amola sigua ohe amo ilia ha: i manu agoane ba: mu.
They will die from fatal diseases. No one will mourn for them. Their bodies won't be buried, but will lie on the ground like manure. They will be destroyed by war and famine, and their bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
5 Diasu amo ganodini dunu ilia didigia: su, amo ganodini mae golili sa: ima. Dunu da bogosea, dia mae dawa: ma amola mae dima. Bai Na da wali Na fi dunuma hahawane olofosu hou amola asigi hou bu hamedafa imunu.
This is what the Lord says: Don't enter a home where people are having a funeral meal. Don't visit them to mourn or to offer condolences, for I have taken away my peace, my trustworthy love, and my mercy from these people, declares the Lord.
6 Bagade gagui dunu amola hame gagui dunu, da amo soge ganodini gilisili bogogia: mu. Be eno dunu da ilima asigiba: le, hame didigia: mu amola ilia da: i hodo hame uli dogonesimu. Dunu eno da ilia da: i dioi olelema: ne, ilia da: i hame fafa: ginisimu amola ilia dialuma hinabo hame waga: mu.
Everyone, from the most important to the least, will die in this country. They will not be buried or mourned; there will be no rites for the dead such as cutting oneself or shaving of heads.
7 Dunu da ea dogolegei fi dunu da bogobeba: le, da: i diosea, dunu afae eno da ea dogo denesima: ne, ema ha: i amola waini hano naha, hamedafa gilisili fimu. Nowa dunu da ea ame o ada bogosea, dunu eno da ema asigi hou hamedafa olelemu.
No funeral receptions will be held to comfort those who mourn—not even a comforting drink is to be offered at the loss of a father or mother.
8 Dunu eno da diasu ganodini lolo nasea, di da amo ha: i moma: ne gilisimusa: amo diasuga maedafa golili sa: ima.
Don't go into a house where people are celebrating and sit down with them to eat and drink.
9 Na da Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode! Na sia: nabima! Hahawane sia: amola uda lasu lolo nabe hahawane sia: huluane amo ouiya: ma: ne Na da hamomu. Amo fi dunu guiguda: esalebe da amo hou doaga: i dagoi ba: mu.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to put a stop right here, while you watch, to any sounds of celebration and joy, the happy voices of the groom and bride.
10 Di da amo sia: Na fi dunuma olelesea, ilia da Hina Gode da abuliba: le se iasu bagadedafa ilima iaha, dima adole ba: mu. ‘Ninia da adi wadela: i hou hamobela: amola ninia Hina Godema adi wadela: i hou hamobela: ?’ ilia da amane adole ba: mu.
When you explain all this to them they'll ask you, “Why has the Lord ordered that such a terrible disaster should happen to us? What did we do wrong? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?”
11 Amasea, dia Hina Gode Ea sia: ilima amane alofele ima, ‘Dilia aowalalia da Na fisili, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadosu amola hawa: hamosu. Ilia da Na fisili, Na olelesu hamedafa nabawane hamosu.
Answer them: It's because your forefathers deserted me, declares the Lord. They went and followed other gods, serving them and worshiping them. They abandoned me and didn't keep my laws.
12 Be dilia da dilia aowalalia ilia wadela: i hou baligili hamoi. Dilia huluane da dogo ga: nasi hamoi, amola wadela: idafa hou hamosu, amola Na sia: nabimu hame dawa:
You however have done even more evil than your forefathers. Look at how all of you followed your own stubborn evil thinking instead of obeying me.
13 Amaiba: le Na da dili amo sogega fisili masa: ne, sefasisia, dilia da eno soge, dilia amola dilia aowalalia hame dawa: soge amoga mugululi masunu. Amola amogawi, dilia esoga amola gasia, eno ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia hawa: hamonanu. Amola Na da dilima asigi hou hame olelemu.’”
So I'm going to throw you out of this country and exile you in a country unfamiliar to you and your forefathers. There you'll serve other gods day and night, because I won't help you at all.
14 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Gode esala. Amola Na da Isala: ili fi dunu Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, ga oule asi. Be eso da misunu amoga, Na fi dunu da amo hou Na hamobeba: le, amoga ilia sia: bu hame ilegemu.
But listen! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't any longer make vows, saying. “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”
15 Be Na da Na fi dunu gagoe (north) soge amola eno fifi asi gala ilia sogega afagogoi. Amola Na da ili amo soge Na da ilia aowalalia amoga i, ilima bu oule misunuba: le, ilia da Na da Gode esala ili buhagima: ne logo doasi dagoi, amo hou dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, ilia da amo sia: ga dafawane hamoma: ne ilegemu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.”
Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” I'm going to bring them back to the country I gave their forefathers.
16 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da menabo gasa: su dunu bagohame amo Na fi dunu gasa: ma: ne, ilima misa: ne sia: mu. Amasea, Na da benea ahoasu dunu bagohame, goumi amola agolo amola magufu gelabo huluane amoga Na fi dunu lama: ne, ilima misa: ne sia: mu.
But for the moment I'm going to send for many fishermen and they'll catch them, declares the Lord. Then I'm going to send for many hunters, and they'll hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from their hiding places in the rocks.
17 Na da ilia wadela: i hamobe huluanedafa ba: lala. Na mae ba: ma: ne wamolegemu da hamedei.
I see everything they're doing. They can't hide from me, and their sins aren't hidden from me either.
18 Ilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Na da ilima baligili se imunu. Bai ilia da Na soge amo ganodini hame esala (bogoi ea da: i hodo defele) loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ amoga nabaiba: le, Na soge da ledodafa hamoi dagoi ba: sa.”
First I'm going to pay them back double for their wickedness and sin, because they have made my land unclean with the lifeless bodies of their disgusting idols, filling my special country with their offensive pagan images.
19 Hina Gode! Di fawane da na gaga: sa amola nama gasa iaha. Dia da bidi hamosu eso amoga na fidilala. Fifi asi gala fi dunu da osobo bagade bega: bega: nini Dima misini, amane sia: mu, ‘Ninia aowalalia da ogogosu ‘gode’ amola hamedei loboga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila fawane gagui.’
Lord, you are my strength and my fortress, my safe place in the time of trouble. Nations will come to you from all over the earth, and they will say, “The religion of our forefathers was a total lie! The idols they worshiped were useless—no good at all.
20 Dunu ilisu da ilila: ‘gode’ hamomu defele ganabela: ? Hame mabu! Amai ganiaba, amo liligi da ‘godedafa’ hame ba: la: loba.”
How can people make gods for themselves? These aren't gods!”
21 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amaiba: le, Na da wali fifi asi gala huluane ilima Na gasa bagade hou olelemu. Amasea, Na da Hina Godedafa, amo ilia da dawa: mu.”
Now they'll see! I'll show them, and then they'll recognize my power and strength. Then they'll know that I am the Lord!
