< Jeremiah 30 >
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
Esia nye nya si va na Yeremia tso Yehowa gbɔ.
2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
“Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ŋlɔ nya siwo katã megblɔ na wò la ɖe agbalẽ me’
3 For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
Yehowa be, ‘Ŋkekewo li gbɔna, esi makplɔ nye dukɔwo Israel kple Yuda agbɔe tso aboyo me, eye magbugbɔ anyigba si metsɔ na wo fofowo be wòanye wo tɔ la na wo.’” Yehowa gblɔe.
4 These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
Nya siawoe Yehowa gblɔ tso Israel kple Yuda ŋuti.
5 Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Wose vɔvɔ̃ ƒe avifafa, ŋɔdzi koe li, menye ŋutifafa o.
6 Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?
Bia eye nàkpɔe ɖa be, Ɖe ŋutsu afɔ fu ahadzi via? Ekema, nu ka ta mekpɔ ŋutsu sesẽ ɖe sia ɖe le asi lilim eƒe ƒodo dzi abe nyɔnu si le ku lém ene, eye woƒe mowo fu tititi ale?
7 How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.
Alele, anye ŋkeke dziŋɔ eye ɖeke magasɔ kplii o! Anye xaxaɣi na Yakob, ke woaɖee le eme.”
8 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.
Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la be, “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, maŋe kɔkuti la le woƒe kɔwo eye maɖe ga wo, amedzrowo magado kluvi wo azɔ o.
9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
Ke boŋ woasubɔ Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la kple woƒe fia David, si maɖo na wo.
10 As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.
“Eya ta mègavɔ̃ o. O, nye dɔla Yakob. O Israel, wò mo megatsi dãa o.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Le nyateƒe me, makplɔ wò tso didiƒenyigba dzi, eye maɖe wò dzidzimeviwo hã tso aboyo me. Yakob aganɔ anyi le ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ me eye ame aɖeke magado vodzi nɛ o.
11 For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
Meli kpli wò be maɖe wò.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Togbɔ be matsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo katã me mekaka mi ɖo hã la, nyematsrɔ̃ miawo ya keŋkeŋ o. Nyemagblẽ mi ɖi tomahemahee ya o, mahe to na mi gake ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye dzi.
12 For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Wò abi la nye abi makumaku, eye nuvevi si wɔ wò la, womate ŋu adae o.
13 There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.
Ame aɖeke meli aʋli tawò o, atike aɖeke meli na wò abi la o, eya ta dɔyɔyɔ hã meli na wò o.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.
Wò lɔlɔ̃tɔwo katã ŋlɔ wò be, wometsɔ ɖeke le eme na wò o. Metu nu kpli wò abe ale si futɔ awɔ wòe ene, eye mehe to na wò abe ale si ŋutasẽla awɔe ene, elabena wò agɔdzedze lolo ŋutɔ, eye wò nu vɔ̃wo hã sɔ gbɔ.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.
Nu ka ŋutie nèle avi fam tso wò abi kple vevesese si dɔyɔyɔ meli na o la ŋuti? Le wò agɔdzedze gbogboawo kple wò nu vɔ̃ gbogboawo tae mewɔ nu siawo katã ɖe ŋutiwò ɖo.
16 Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them— will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.
“‘Gake ame siwo katã vuvu wò la woavuvu wo, eye wò futɔwo katã ayi aboyo me. Ame siwo ha wò la, woaha woawo hã. Ame siwo wɔ wò abe afunyinuwo ene la, mawɔ woawo hã abe afunyinuwo ene.
17 But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”
Ke mana nàhaya, eye mana wò abiawo naku, elabena woyɔ wò be saɖagatɔ, Zion si ame aɖeke mebiaa eta sena o.’” Yehowae gblɔe.
18 This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Kpɔ ɖa, magaɖo Yakob ƒe aƒe ƒe nu nyuiwo te eye makpɔ nublanui na eƒe nɔƒewo; woagbugbɔ du la atso ɖe gli gbagbãwo teƒe eye woatu fiasã la ɖe eƒe nɔƒe xoxoa.
19 Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.
Kafukafuha kple aseyetsogbe aɖi tso wo dome. Mana woadzi ɖe edzi eye wo dzi maɖe akpɔtɔ o. Made bubu wo ŋu eye womaɖi gbɔ̃ o.
20 Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.
Wo viwo anɔ abe le blema ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me ene eye woƒe amehawo ali ke le ŋkunye me. Mahe to na ame siwo katã te wo ɖe to.
21 Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?”
Woƒe kplɔla anye woawo ŋutɔ dometɔ ɖeka eye woƒe fia ado tso woawo ŋutɔ dome. Matee vɛ kpokploe eye wòate ɖe ŋunye nyuie. Elabena ame kae atsɔ eɖokui ana blibo be wòate ɖe ŋutinye kpokploe?
22 “And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
Ale be mianye nye dukɔ eye nye hã manye miaƒe Mawu.’” Yehowae gblɔe.
23 Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
Kpɔ ɖa, Yehowa ƒe ahom atu sesĩe le dziku helĩhelĩ me, eye yali abla ɖe ta ŋu na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kɔtɔɔ.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.
Yehowa ƒe dziku dziŋɔ la matrɔ adzo o, va se ɖe esime wòwɔ nu siwo katã le eƒe dzi dzi la de goe hafi. Le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me la, miase nu sia gɔme.
