Jeremiah 26
1 This message came from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah king of Judah,
Le Yuda fia, Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe gɔmedzedzea me la, nya sia va nam tso Yehowa gbɔ.
2 This is what the Lord says: Go and stand in the Temple courtyard and deliver the whole message I have ordered you to give to everyone who comes from all the towns of Judah to worship there. Don't leave out a single word.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu eye nàƒo nu na Yudatɔ siwo katã tso du vovovowo me va subɔsubɔ wɔ ge le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me. Gblɔ nu siwo katã mede se na wò be nàgblɔ na wo, nya ɖeka pɛ hã megato le eme o.
3 Maybe they'll they will listen, and each of them will give up their evil ways so that I won't have to carry out the disaster I'm planning to bring down on them because of the evil things they do.
Ɖewohĩ woaɖo to eye wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atrɔ tso eƒe mɔ vɔ̃ dzi. Ekema maɖe asi, eye nyemagahe gbegblẽ si meɖo ɖe wo ŋu le woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo wowɔ ta la ava wo dzi o.’
4 Tell them that this is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have given you,
Gblɔ na wo be: ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ne mieɖo tom hewɔ ɖe nye se siwo mede na mi la dzi o,
5 and if you don't listen to the messages of my servants the prophets—I've sent them to you time and again, but you refused to listen—
eye ne mieɖo to nye dɔla nyagblɔɖila siwo meɖo ɖe mi enuenu (ame siwo miedo tokui va yi la ƒe nyawo o la),
6 then I will destroy this Temple like I did Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse word used by everyone on earth.
ekema mawɔ gbedoxɔ sia abe Silo ene eye du sia azu fiƒodenu le anyigbadzidukɔwo katã dome.’”
7 The priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah deliver this message in the Lord's Temple.
Nunɔlawo, nyagblɔɖilawo kple ame siwo katã le afi ma se Yeremia wònɔ nya siawo gblɔm le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
8 As soon as he had finished telling everyone all that the Lord had ordered him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people grabbed him, shouting, “You'll die for this!
Kaka Yeremia nawu nya siwo katã Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be wòagblɔ nu la, nunɔlawo, nyagblɔɖilawo kple ame siwo le afi ma la dze Yeremia dzi kpli, helée eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Èdze na ku!
9 How dare you claim to speak in the Lord's name here in the Temple and declare that it will be destroyed like Shiloh, and that this city will be left empty and abandoned?” Everyone crowded around Jeremiah threatening him in the Lord's Temple.
Nu ka ta nègblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me be gbedoxɔ sia azu abe Silo ene eye du sia azu aƒedo si me ame aɖeke maganɔ o?” Ale zi ƒo ɖe Yeremia ŋuti le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me.
10 When the leaders of Judah heard what happened they came from the king's palace to the Lord's Temple and sat at the entrance of the New Gate of the Temple to judge the case.
Esi Yuda ƒe dumegãwo se nu siawo la, wotso le fiasã la me heyi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la gbɔ eye woyi ɖatɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe Agbo Yeye la nu.
11 The priests and prophets complained to the leaders and all the people, “This man is deserves the death penalty because he has committed treason by prophesying against this city. You heard it yourselves!”
Tete nunɔlawo kple nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ na dumegãwo kple ameha la be, “Ele be woatso kufia na ŋutsu sia, elabena egblɔ nya ɖi ɖe du sia ŋuti. Miawo ŋutɔ miesee kple miaƒe towo!”
12 Jeremiah addressed all the leaders and all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to deliver every word of this prophecy against this Temple as you've heard.
Tete Yeremia gblɔ na dumegãwo kple ameha la be, “Yehowae dɔm be magblɔ nya siwo miese la ɖi ɖe gbedoxɔ sia kple du sia ŋuti.
13 So change your ways and do what's right, and do what Lord your God tells you, so that he won't have to carry out the disaster he has announced he will bring down on you.
Ke azɔ la, miɖɔ miaƒe mɔwo kple miaƒe nuwɔnawo ɖo eye miaɖo to Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. Ekema Yehowa atrɔ eƒe susu eye mahe vɔ̃ si wògblɔ ɖi ɖe mia ŋuti la va mia dzii o.
14 As far as I'm concerned, I'm in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right.
Ke nye ya la, mele miaƒe asi me xoxo. Miwɔ nu si miesusu be enyo eye wòle eteƒe la kplim faa.
15 But be careful, because you need to be aware that if you kill me, you will make yourselves, this city, and everyone who lives here guilty of murder, because it's true that the Lord sent me to tell you everything he said.”
Gake meka ɖe edzi na mi be ne miewum la, miahe ʋu maɖifɔ va miawo ŋutɔ, du sia kple emenɔlawo dzi; elabena le nyateƒe me la, Yehowae dɔm be magblɔ nya siawo katã ɖe miaƒe towo me.”
16 Then the leaders and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man doesn't deserve the death penalty because he was speaking on behalf of the Lord our God.”
Tete dumegãwo kple ameha la gblɔ na nunɔlawo kple nyagblɔɖilawo be, “Mele be woatso kufia na ŋutsu sia o, elabena egblɔ nya na mi le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ me.”
17 Some of the country's elders stood up and addressed everyone gathered there.
Dumegãwo dometɔ aɖewo do ɖe ŋgɔgbe hegblɔ na ameha la be,
18 “Micah of Moresheth prophesied during the reign of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah that this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Zion will become like a plowed field; Jerusalem will end up a pile of rubble; and the Temple mount will be overgrown with trees.’
“Mika, Moresitɔ la gblɔ nya ɖi le Yuda fia Hezekia ƒe ŋkekewo me. Egblɔ na Yudatɔwo katã be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “‘Woaŋlɔ Zion abe agble ene, Yerusalem azu glikpo gbagbã eye gbedoxɔ ƒe togbɛ azu togbɛ si zu ave.’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in the country have him killed? Didn't Hezekiah respect the Lord and plead with him? Didn't the Lord change his mind about the disaster he had announced against them? But we are about to bring a great disaster on ourselves!”
“Ɖe Hezekia, Yuda fia, alo ame aɖe le Yuda wuia? Ɖe Hezekia mevɔ̃ Yehowa hetrɔ ɖe eŋu eye wòdi amenuveve le egbɔ oa? Eye ɖe Yehowa metrɔ eƒe susu ale be megaxa he gbegblẽ si wòɖe gbeƒãe la va wo dzii oa? Míawo ya la míele gbegblẽ dziŋɔ aɖe he ge va mía ɖokuiwo dzii!”
20 At around that time there was another man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Uriah, son of Shemaiah, from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against Jerusalem and against the country just as Jeremiah did.
(Azɔ ame bubu si gagblɔ nya ɖi le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ mee nye Uria, Semaya ƒe vi si tso Kiriat Yearim. Eya hã gblɔ nya siwo ke Yeremia gblɔ ɖe du sia kple anyigba sia ŋuti.
21 King Jehoiakim and all his military officers and officials heard what he was saying, and the king wanted to have him executed. But when Uriah found out about it, he was frightened and ran away to Egypt.
Esi Fia Yehoyakim kple eŋumewo kple eƒe dumegãwo se eƒe nyawo la, fia la di vevie be yeawui, Ke Uria see eye wòsi kple vɔvɔ̃ yi Egipte.
22 But King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan, son of Achbor, along with some others.
Ke Fia Yehoyakim dɔ Elnatan, Akbor ƒe vi kple ŋutsu bubu geɖewo ɖe eyome.
23 They brought Uriah back from Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim. The king killed him with a sword and had his body thrown into the public graveyard.
Woyi ɖakplɔ Uria tso Egipte vɛ na Fia Yehoyakim, ame si na wowui kple yi hetsɔ eƒe kukua ƒu gbe ɖe ame gbɔlowo ɖiƒe.)
24 However, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, took Jeremiah's side so he was not handed over to the people to be killed.
Gawu la, Safan ƒe vi, Ahikam de megbe na Yeremia ale wometsɔe de asi na ameawo be woawu o.
