Yelemaia 27
1 Sedegaia (Yousaia egefe) da Yuda fi hina bagade ouligibi hou lai. Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama,
THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH HE SPOKE AGAINST BABYLON.
2 na da bulamagau gadofo amola ifa bulufalegele, liligi lale, “youge” hamone, na galogoa amoga gasisalima: ne sia: i.
Proclaim you amongst the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress [them] not: say you, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up.
3 Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama na da sia: amo Idome, Moua: be, A:mone, Daia amola Saidone amo ilia hina bagade ilima sia: adosima: ne sia: i. Amo fi dunu ilia sia: alofele iasu dunu ilia da hina bagade Sedegaia amo gousa: musa: , Yelusalemega misi esalu.
For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast.
4 Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da nama na da ilia hina bagade sia: agoane olelema: ne sia: i,
In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
5 “Dilia hina bagade huluane ilima amane olelema! Na gasa bagade amoga Na da osobo bagade amola dunu fi amola ohe fi huluane osobo bagadega esala, amo huluane hamoi. Amola Na da Na gasa amo Na hanaiga fawane, eno dunuma iaha.
They shall ask the way till [they come to] Sion, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten.
6 Na da dilia soge huluane amo Na ilegei hawa: hamosu dunu Nebiuga: denesema imunu. Amola dunu huluane amola sigua ohe fi da ea hawa: hamosu hamomu.
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.
7 Fifi asi gala huluane da ea udigili hawa: hamosu hamomu. Egefe amola e amola da amo fifi asi gala ouligilalu, amasea eso Na ilegei da doaga: sea, ea fi amola da dafamu. Amasea, eno gasa bagade fi amola gasa bagade hina bagade, ilia da ea fi ouligimu.
All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers [had] a pasture of righteousness.
8 Be nowa fifi asi gala o hina bagade ea fi da ea ouligibi higale, hame nabasea, Na da amo fi gegesu amola ha: amola olo amoga se imunu. Amasea, Na da logo doasimuba: le, Nebiuga: denese da amo fi wadela: lesimu fawane.
Flee you out of the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans, and go forth, and be as serpents before sleep.
9 Dilia balofede dunu o nowa da fa: no misunu hou dawa: , hi fawane sia: sa, (e da simasia ba: sa o bogoi a: silibu amoma sia: sa o wamuni dawa: su hou amo ganodini ba: sa amola ogogole sia: sa) amo huluane mae nabima. Ilia huluane da dilia Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: mae nabima: ne sia: sa.
For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty.
10 Ilia da dilima ogogosa. Ilia hamobeba: le, dilia da dilia soge yolesili, soge sedagaga mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu. Na da dili ga sefasimu, amola dilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied.
11 Be nowa fi da Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: nabasea amola ea hawa: hamosea, Na da amo fi ilia sogedafaga esaloma: ne amola ha: i manu bugima: ne, logo doasimu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
Because you rejoiced, and boasted, [while] plundering mine heritage; because you exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.
12 Na da Yuda hina bagade Sedegaia ema defele sia: i, amane, “Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: nabawane hamoma! Dilia da ea amola ea fi dunu ilia hawa: hamosu hamosea, dilia da esalumu.
Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: [she is] the last of the nations, desolate,
13 Abuliba: le di amola dia fi dunu da gegesuga o ha: ga o oloiga bogoma: bela: ? Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi. Nowa fi da Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: hame nabasea da agoaiwane bogogia: mu.
by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague.
14 Balofede dunu da dima Ba: bilone hina bagade da mae hasalasima: ne gegema: ne sia: sa, amo mae nabima! Ilia da dilima ogogosa.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows,
15 Hina Gode Hisu da amo dunu ilia da Ea Dioba: le ogogosa, amo hamedafa asunasi sia: i. Amaiba: le, E da dili gadili sefasili, dili amola ogogosu balofede dunu da gilisili, medole legei dagoi ba: mu.”
and prevail against her: her hands are weakened, her bulwarks are fallen, and her wall is broken down: for it is vengeance from God: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do to her.
16 Amalalu, na da gobele salasu amola balofede dunu ilima Hina Gode Ea sia: i liligi olelei, amane, “Ogogosu balofede dunu da Debolo liligi ida: iwane da hedolo Ba: bilone sogeganini bu Yelusaleme amoga gaguli misi dagoi ba: mu. Be ilia sia: mae nabima!
Utterly destroy seed out of Babylon, [and] him that holds a sickle in time of harvest: for fear of the Grecian sword, they shall return every one to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
17 Ba: bilone hina bagade ea sia: nabawane hamoma. Amasea, dilia da esalumu. Yelusaleme da abuliba: le wadela: lesi isu gegedole liligisu agoane ba: ma: bela: ?
Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have driven him out: the king of Assyria first devoured him, and afterward this king of Babylon [has gnawed] his bones.
18 Ilia da dafawane Na balofede dunu esala ganiaba, amola ilia da Na sia: lai dagoi ganiaba, ilia da Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, amoma Na da liligi ida: iwane gala Debolo diasu amola hina bagade diasu ganodini hame wamolai gala: loba, amo Ba: bilone dunu Ba: bilone sogega mae gaguli misa: ne logo hedofama: ne, Nama agoane adole ba: mu da defea.”
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria.
And I will restore Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and on mount Ephraim and in Galaad, and his soul shall be satisfied.
20 (Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Yuda hina bagade Yehoiagini (Yihoiagimi egefe) amola Yuda amola Yelusaleme ouligisu dunu amo Ba: bilone sogega afugili oule asiba: le, e da liligi bagohame gaguli asi. Be e da balase duni bugi amola balase ofodo bagade amola balase hosiga hiougi ‘gaguli fula ahoasu’ amola eno Debolo liligi ida: iwane gala, hame gaguli asi).
In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Juda, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful to them that are left
21 “Na da Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode! Na sia: nabima! Liligi ida: iwane gala Debolo diasu amola Yelusaleme hina bagade ea diasu ganodini diala,
on the land, says the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, says the Lord, and do according to all that I command you.
22 amo huluane Ba: bilone hina bagade da Ba: bilone sogega gaguli masunu. Amogawi, ilia da dialumu. Amalalu, Na da amo bu dawa: sea, Na da amo liligi bu Yelusalemega dialoma: ne bu gaguli misunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans!
How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation amongst the nations!
They shall come upon you, and you shall not know it, Babylon, that you will even be taken captive: you are found and taken, because you did resist the Lord.
The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God [has] a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
For her times are come: open you her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her.
Dry you up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution.
A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Sion the vengeance [that comes] from the Lord our God.
Summon many against Babylon, [even] every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her [people] escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her warriors shall be cast down, says the Lord.
Behold, I am against you the haughty one, says the Lord: for your day is come, and the time of your retribution.
And your pride shall fail, and fall, and there shall be no one to set it up again: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
Thus says the Lord; The children of Israel and the children of Juda have been oppressed: all they that have taken them captive have oppressed them together; for they would not let them go.
But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name: he will enter into judgement with his adversaries, that he may destroy the earth;
and he will sharpen a sword against the Chaldeans, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her nobles and upon her wise men;
a sword upon her warriors, and they shall be weakened: a sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots:
a sword upon their warriors and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women: a sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water,
and they shall be ashamed: for it is a land of graven [images]; and in the islands, where they boasted.
Therefore shall idols dwell in the islands, and the young of monsters shall dwell in it: it shall not be inhabited any more for ever.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities bordering upon them, says the Lord: no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn there.
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the end of the earth; holding bow and dagger:
[the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy: their voices shall sound as the sea, they shall ride upon horses, prepared for war, like fire, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
The king of Babylon heard the sound of them, and his hands were enfeebled: anguish overcame him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
Behold, he shall come up as a lion from Jordan to Gaethan; for I will speedily drive them from her, and I will set all the youths against her: for who is like me? and who will resist me? and who is this shepherd who will stand before me?
Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has taken against Babylon; and his devices, which he has devised upon the Chaldeans inhabiting [it]: surely lambs of their flock shall be destroyed: surely pasture shall be cut off from them.
For at the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth shall quake, and a cry shall be heard amongst the nations.
