3 Maet olketa bae lisin, and each wan bae tane bak from wicked wei blo hem, and mi bae changem tingting blo mi abaotem* trabol wea mi bae mekem for kasem olketa bikos lo olketa wicked samting wea olketa duim.
4 Talem lo olketa: “Diswan nao wanem Jehovah talem, ‘Sapos iufala no lisin lo mi and les for followim law* blo mi wea mi givim lo iufala,
5 and sapos iufala no lisin lo olketa toktok blo olketa servant blo mi, wea olketa profet, wea mi sendem lo iufala staka taem,*
6 then mi bae mekem disfala haos olsem Shiloh, and mi bae mekem disfala taon for kamap wanfala samting wea evri nation lo earth tok spoelem.’”’”
7 And olketa priest and olketa profet and evri pipol herem Jeremiah talem olketa toktok hia lo haos blo Jehovah.
8 So taem Jeremiah storyim finis evri samting wea Jehovah komandim hem for storyim lo evri pipol, then olketa priest and olketa profet and evri pipol kasholem hem and sei: “Iu bae dae.
9 Why nao iu talem profesi lo nem blo Jehovah and sei, ‘Disfala haos bae kamap olsem Shiloh, and disfala taon bae distroe and no eniwan bae stap insaed’?” And evri pipol hipap raonem Jeremiah insaed lo haos blo Jehovah.
10 Taem olketa leader lo Judah herem olketa toktok hia, olketa lusim haos* blo king and go ap lo haos blo Jehovah and sidaon lo entrance blo niu gate blo Jehovah.
11 Olketa priest and olketa profet sei lo olketa leader and lo evri pipol: “Disfala man mas kasem panis for dae, bikos hem talem profesi againstim disfala taon, olsem iufala seleva herem lo ear blo iufala.”
12 Then Jeremiah sei lo evri leader and evri pipol hia: “Jehovah nao sendem mi kam for talem evri toktok blo disfala profesi wea iufala herem mi talem againstim disfala haos and againstim disfala taon.
13 So distaem, changem olketa wei blo iufala and olketa samting wea iufala duim and obeyim toktok blo Jehovah, God blo iufala, and Jehovah bae changem tingting blo hem abaotem trabol wea hem talem againstim iufala.
14 Bat mi stap lo hand blo iufala. Iufala duim lo mi eniting wea iufala laekem and wea stret lo eye blo iufala.

16 Then olketa leader and evri pipol sei lo olketa priest and olketa profet: “Disfala man no fit for kasem panis for dae bikos hem story lo iumi lo nem blo Jehovah, God blo iumi.”
17 And tu, samfala lo olketa elder lo disfala land getap and sei lo evri pipol wea hipap lo there:

“Bae olketa houm Zion olsem olketa houm wanfala garden,Jerusalem bae kamap olketa hip rabis,And maunten blo datfala Haos* bae kamap olsem olketa hae ples lo forest.”’*
19 “Hao, King Hezekiah blo Judah and evriwan lo Judah killim hem dae bikos lo datwan?
