Jeremiah 21
1 Yahweh gave me another message when King Zedekiah [of Judah] sent [a man who was also named] Pashhur, the son of Malkijah, and a priest named Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, [to talk to me. They pleaded with me], saying,
Yuda hina bagade, Sedegaia, da Ba: sie (Ma: legaia egefe) amola Sefanaia (Ma: iasia egefe) nama adole ba: musa: asunasi.
2 “[The army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is attacking Judah. Please speak to Yahweh for us. [Ask him if he will help us]. Perhaps he will force Nebuchadnezzar’s [army] to leave by performing a miracle for us, like the miracles he performed [previously].”
Ela da nama amane adole ba: i, “Ninia dima dafawane edegesa. Hina Gode da nini fidima: ne sia: ma. Bai Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola ea dadi gagui dunu da moilaiga doagala: lala. Amabela: ? Hina Gode da nini fidima: ne, degabo ba: su hou afae hamosea, Nebiuga: denese da hobeama: bela: ?”
3 I replied to them, “[Go back to King] Zedekiah. Tell him,
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama sia: i, amola na da nama asunasi dunu amoma alofele sia: i,
4 ‘This is what Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: “I will cause your weapons to be useless in fighting against the king of Babylon and his army that is outside the walls of Jerusalem, attacking. I will enable them to enter into the center of this city.
“Hina Gode, Isala: ili ilia Gode, da Sedegaiama amane sia: sa, ‘Sedegaia! Dia dadi gagui wa: i amo da Ba: bilone hina amola ea dadi gagui dunu ilima gegenana, amo Na da hasalimu. Na da dilia gegesu liligi huluane moilai bai bagade dogoa gilisili lelegela heda: mu.
5 I myself will fight against your [army] with my very great power, [MTY, DOU] because I am very angry with you.
Na da Na gasaga amola Na ougi bagadedafa amoga dima gegemu.
6 I will send a very (terrible plague/big sickness) on the people of this city, and on their domestic animals, and [many of] them will die.”
Dunu huluanedafa amo moilai ganodini esala, amo Na da medole legemu. Dunu amola ohe fi defele da oloi wadela: idafa amoga bogogia: mu.
7 And Yahweh says there are many people in this city who want to kill you. So, he will enable [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and other people in this city to capture [you], King Zedekiah, and your officials, and [all the other] people who do not die from the plague. His army will slaughter your soldiers; they will not act mercifully toward you(pl) or pity you at all. [DOU]’
Be di, amola dia eagene ouligisu dunu, amola nowa da gegesu amoga hame bogoi esalea, amo Na da logo doasimuba: le, hina bagade Nebiuga: denese amola dilia ha lai dunu (ilia dili medole legemu hanai) da dili gagulaligimu. Nebiuga: denese da dili medole legemu. E da dili dunu afae amoma hamedafa asigimu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.’”
8 And tell this to [all] the people: ‘Yahweh says that you must decide whether you want to die or to remain alive.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da na da dunu huluane ilima amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Nabima! Na, Hina Gode, da dili afae ilegema: ne, logo aduna dilima olelesa. Logo afae da esalusu amoga doaga: sa. Eno da bogosu amoga doaga: sa.
9 Everyone who remains in Jerusalem will die. They will be killed in battles or die from being hungry or from diseases. But those who surrender to the army of Babylon that is surrounding your city will remain alive. They will escape dying.
Nowa da Yelusaleme mae yolesili amo ganodini esalea, da ha: ga o olobeba: le bogomu. Be nowa da gadili Ba: bilone dunu (amo da moilaiga doagala: lala) amo gagulaligimusa: ahoasea, da bogosu hame ba: mu. E da esalumu fawane.
10 [That will happen] because I, Yahweh, have decided to cause this city to experience disasters, not to experience something good. The army of the king of Babylon will capture this city and will destroy it [completely] by fire.’”
Na da amo moilai bai bagade wadela: musa: ilegeidafa. Na da amo moilai bai bagade, Ba: bilone hina bagadema imunu. Amola e da amo laluga ulagili, osobo amola nasubu fawane dialebe ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
11 [Yahweh also told me to] say this to the family of the king of Judah: “Listen to this message from Yahweh!
Hina Gode da amo sia: Yuda hina bagade fi (Da: ibidi egaga fi) ilima sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Nabima! Na, Hina Gode da amane sia: sa! Moloidafa hou eso huluane hamoma: ne, ouligima! Ogogosu hamosu dunu ilia logo hedofama, amola dunu ilima ilia da ogogosa, amo gaga: ma! Amane hame hamoi ganiaba, Na ougi da lalu ha: ba: domu hamedei agoai nenana: loba.
12 This is what he says to you descendants of King David: ‘Every day, make fair decisions for the people whom you judge. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue/Save them from those [SYN] who (oppress them/treat them cruelly). If you do not do that, I will be angry and punish [MTY] you with a fire that will be impossible to extinguish, because of [all] the sins that you have committed.
13 I will fight against you people [of Jerusalem], you who live on top of a rocky hill above the valley. [I will fight against] you people who boast, saying, “No one can attack us and break through [our defenses].”
Dili! Yelusaleme fi! Dilia da igi bagade amo umi da: iya gado heda: le lelebe defele, hahawane fago da: iya gado esalebe ba: sa. Be Na da dilima gegemu. Dunu eno da dilima doagala: le, dilia gagoi amo fili, moilai bai bagade ganodini golili misunu da hamedei, dilisu hidale sia: sa.
14 I will punish you for your wicked deeds like you deserve to be punished; [It will be as though] I will light a fire in your forests that will burn up everything around you!’”
Be dilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Na da dilima se imunu. Na da dilia hina bagade diasu laluga ulagimu, amola amo lalu da liligi huluane amo sisiga: le dialebe, amo nene dagomu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
