1In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from Yahweh, saying,
1 Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacim Yosiya izo mayra sintinyaŋo waate, sanni woone kaa ka fun Rabbi do ka ne:
2Thus says Yahweh: Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; don’t diminish a word.
2 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Ma koy ka kay Rabbi windo batama ra, ka salaŋ Yahuda galley kulu borey kaŋ yaŋ ga kaa ka sududu Rabbi windo ra se. Ma ci i se sanney kulu kaŋ yaŋ ay ga ni lordi nd'a. Ni ma ci i se, ma si baa sanni ize folloŋ zabu.
3It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
3 Hambara i ga maa, i afo kulu mo ma bare ka fay da nga fondo laalo. Zama ay mo ma bare ka fay da masiiba kaŋ ay miila ay ma te i se din i goyey laalayaŋo sabbay se.
4You shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
4 Ni ga ne i se: Yaa no Rabbi ci: D'araŋ wangu ka hangan ay se k'ay asariya kaŋ ay daŋ araŋ jine din gana,
5to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;
5 d'araŋ wangu ka hangan ay tam annabey sanney se, ngey kaŋ ay donton araŋ gaa, ay ga soobay k'i donton, amma araŋ mana hangan --
6then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
6 To, yaadin gaa kal ay mo, ay ma windo wo ciya sanda Silo cine, ay ma gallo wo mo ciya laaliyaŋ sabaabu ndunnya dumey kulu se.
7The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yahweh.
7 Alfagey da annabey da jama kulu binde maa Irimiya goono ga sanney din salaŋ Rabbi windo ra.
8It happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, You shall surely die.
8 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Irimiya na sanney kulu kaŋ Rabbi n'a lordi nd'a nga ma ci jama se ci ka ban, kala alfagey da annabey da jama kulu n'a di. I ne: «Daahir, ni ga bu no!»
9Why have you prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? All the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh.
9 I ne mo koyne: «Ifo se no ni na annabitaray te Rabbi maa ra, hala ni ne: ‹Windo wo ga ciya sanda Silo cine, gallo wo mo ga ciya kurmu, kaŋ sinda goroko?› » Jama kulu binde margu Irimiya boŋ Rabbi windo ra.
10When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the house of Yahweh; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house.
10 Waato kaŋ Yahuda mayraykoyey maa woodin baaru, i tun ka fun bonkoono windo ra ka kaa noodin Rabbi windo ra. I goro Rabbi windo Me Tajo gaa.
11Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
11 Waato din gaa no alfagey da annabey salaŋ mayraykoyey da jama kulu se ka ne: «Boro woone wo, i ma buuyaŋ ciiti dumbu a boŋ, zama a na annabitaray te ka gaaba nda gallo wo, mate kaŋ araŋ maa d'araŋ hangey.»
12Then spoke Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying, Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
12 Gaa no Irimiya mo salaŋ mayraykoyey da jama kulu se ka ne: «Rabbi n'ay donton no ay ma annabitaray te da sanney wo kulu kaŋ yaŋ araŋ maa, kaseetiyaŋ kaŋ ga gaaba nda windo wo da gallo wo.
13Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Yahweh your God; and Yahweh will repent him of the evil that he has pronounced against you.
13 Sohõ binde, kal araŋ m'araŋ fondey d'araŋ goyey barmay ka Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo sanno gana. Rabbi mo ga ye ka bare, a ma masiiba kaŋ a ci araŋ boŋ din naŋ.
14But as for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as is good and right in your eyes.
14 Ay wo kay, ay neeya araŋ kambe ra. Kal araŋ ma te ay se haŋ kaŋ ga boori da haŋ kaŋ ga saba araŋ diyaŋ gaa.
15Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for of a truth Yahweh has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
15 Kala day araŋ ma bay kaŋ woone wo cimi no: d'araŋ n'ay wi, araŋ ga boro kaŋ sinda taali kuri alhakku candi ka kande araŋ bumbey, da gallo wo, d'a ra gorokoy kulu boŋ. Zama daahir Rabbi n'ay donton araŋ do no, ay ma sanney wo kulu ci araŋ hangey ra.»
16Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Yahweh our God.
16 Waato din gaa no mayraykoyey da jama kulu salaŋ alfagey da annabey se ka ne: «Boro wo, i mana hima ka buuyaŋ ciiti dumbu a boŋ, zama Rabbi iri Irikoyo maa ra no a salaŋ iri se.»
17Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
17 Gaa no laabo arkusey ra afooyaŋ tun ka kay ka salaŋ jama marga kulu se ka ne:
18Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
18 «Mika, Morsati bora na annabitaray te Yahuda bonkoono Hezeciya zamana ra. A salaŋ Yahuda jama kulu se ka ne: Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: I ga Sihiyona far sanda fari cine, Urusalima ga ciya kurmu guyaŋ, Windo tudo mo ga hima tuuri zugu ra tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangu cine.
19Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.
19 Yahuda bonkoono Hezeciya da Yahuda kulu na bora din wi no, wala? Manti Rabbi humburkuma na bonkoono di no, hal a na gomni ŋwaaray Rabbi gaa? Manti Rabbi bare mo ka fay da masiiba kaŋ a jin ka ci i boŋ din? Amma iri goono ga laala bambata te iri bumbey fundey se.
20There was also a man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
20 Woodin banda mo koyne, boro fo go no kaŋ na annabitaray te Rabbi maa ra. Bora din Uriya no, Semaya izo, Ciriyat-Yeyarim boro no. A na annabitaray te mo ka gaaba nda gallo wo da laabo wo, kaŋ nga nda Irimiya sanney wo kulu ga saba no, cap!
21and when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt:
21 Waato kaŋ bonkoono Yehoyacim da nga wongaarey kulu, d'a mayraykoyey kulu maa a sanno, kala bonkoono ceeci nga m'a wi. Amma saaya kaŋ Uriya maa baaro, a humburu ka zuru ka koy Misira.
22and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;
22 Bonkoono Yehoyacim mo na boroyaŋ donton i ma koy Misira. Ngey neeya: El-Natan Akbor izo, da boro fooyaŋ kaŋ go a banda koy Misira.
23and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
23 I fatta nda Uriya Misira ra ka kand'a Bonkoono Yehoyacim do. Nga mo n'a wi da takuba k'a buukwa furu talkey saarayey boŋ.»
24But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
24 Amma Ahikam Safan izo kambe go Irimiya banda, i ma s'a daŋ jama kambe ra hal i m'a wi.
