Papa Send Im Word Come Judah
Jeremiah talk for di temple court say dis house fit end like Shiloh, and priests and prophets grab am, dem dey shout for death. E no soften am — turn, and your Papa go change im mind. Officials and elders spare am, even though dem kill Uriah for di same words.
26 1For di time wey Jehoiakim, di pikin of Josiah, start to rule Judah, dis word come from our Papa:
2Na dis our Papa talk: Stand for di court of my house, and tell all di towns of Judah wey dey come worship dere every word wey I command you make you talk; no hold anytin back. 3E fit be sey dem go listen, and every person go turn from im bad way; den I go change my mind about di wahala wey I plan for dem because of dia bad-bad deeds. 4Tell dem: Na dis our Papa talk: If una no go listen to me, make una waka for my law wey I put front of una, 5and make una listen to my servants di prophets, wey I dey send una again and again—but una never listen, 6den I go make dis house be like Shiloh, and dis city go be curse for all di nations of di earth. a a v6 Shiloh na di place wey our Papa im holy place bin stand before, until dem destroy am and comot from dere — na warning sey di temple for Jerusalem fit end di same way.
7Di priests, di prophets, and all di people hear as Jeremiah talk dis words for inside di house of our Papa. 8As Jeremiah finish to talk everytin wey our Papa command am make e tell all di people, di priests, di prophets, and all di people grab am, dey shout, "You go surely die! 9Wetin make you dey prophesy for our Papa name, dey talk, ‘Dis house go be like Shiloh, and dis city go turn empty place wey nobody dey live’?" And all di people gada round Jeremiah for inside di house of our Papa.
10As di officials of Judah hear dis tin, dem comot from di king house go up to di house of our Papa, and dem sidon for di entrance of di New Gate of di house of our Papa. 11Den di priests and di prophets tell di officials and all di people, "Dis man deserve to die; e prophesy against dis city, as una hear am with una own ear."
12Jeremiah tell all di officials and di people, "Our Papa send me make I prophesy against dis house and dis city everytin wey una hear. 13So make una correct una ways and una deeds, obey di voice of una Papa, and una Papa go change im mind about di wahala wey e don talk against una. 14But see me here, for una hand. Do wetin una see as good and correct to una. 15But make una sabi dis tin well-well: if una kill me, una dey bring innocent blood come on una own head, on dis city, and on di people wey dey live for inside am—because na true-true our Papa send me come una make I talk all dis words for una ear."
16Den di officials and all di people tell di priests and di prophets, "Dis man no deserve death sentence, because e talk to us for our Papa name."
17Some elders of di land stand up and talk to di whole gadering of di people,
18"Micah of Moresheth prophesy for di time wey Hezekiah dey rule Judah, e tell all di people of Judah, ‘Na dis di Papa of heaven army talk: Dem go plow Zion like farm, Jerusalem go turn heap of rubbish, and di mountain of di temple go be high place wey bush cover.’"
19Hezekiah di king of Judah and all Judah, dem kill am? Abi e no fear our Papa and beg for im favour, so our Papa change im mind about di wahala wey e don threaten against dem? We dey about to bring big-big wahala come on our own head.
20Now anoda man dey wey prophesy for our Papa name, Uriah di pikin of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. E prophesy against dis city and dis land with words wey resemble di one wey Jeremiah talk. 21As King Jehoiakim, all im soldiers, and all im officials hear im words, di king try make dem kill am. Uriah hear am, e fear, e run, and e escape go Egypt. 22Den King Jehoiakim send men go Egypt—Elnathan di pikin of Achbor, and odas with am. 23Dem bring Uriah comot from Egypt come to King Jehoiakim, wey kill am with sword and throw im body inside di grave of di common people.
24But Ahikam di pikin of Shaphan support Jeremiah, so dem no hand am give di people make dem kill am.
