< Jeremiah 15 >

1 Then sayde the Lord vnto me, Though Moses and Samuel stoode before mee, yet mine affection coulde not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them depart.
Tete Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Ne Mose kple Samuel tsi tsitre ɖe ŋkunye me gɔ̃ hã la, nye dzi matrɔ ɖe dukɔ sia ŋuti o. Eya ta, nya wo ɖa le ŋkunye me. Na woadzo!
2 And if they say vnto thee, Whither shall we depart? then tell them, Thus saith the Lord, Such as are appointed to death, vnto death: and such as are for the sworde, to the sworde: and such as are for the famine, to the famine: and such as are for the captiuitie, to the captiuitie.
Ke ne wobia wò be, ‘Afi ka miayi hã’ la, gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Ame siwo woɖo ɖi na ku la, ayi ku me. Ame siwo woɖo ɖi na yi la, atsi yi nu. Ame siwo woɖo ɖi na dɔwuame la atsi dɔwuame ƒe asi me. Eye ame siwo woɖo ɖi na aboyomeyiyi la, ayi aboyome.’”
3 And I wil appoint ouer them foure kindes, sayth the Lord, the sworde to slay, and the dogs to teare in pieces, and the soules of the heauen, and the beastes of the earth to deuoure, and to destroy.
Yehowa be, “Maɖo nugblẽla ƒomevi ene ɖe wo: yi be wòawu ame, avu be wòahe wo adzoe, dziƒoxeviwo kple anyigbadzilã wɔadãwo be, woavuvu wo eye woatsrɔ̃ wo.
4 I will scatter them also in all kingdomes of the earth, because of Manasseh the sonne of Hezekiah King of Iudah, for that which he did in Ierusalem.
Mawɔ wo woanye ŋunyɔnu na anyigbadzifiaɖuƒewo le nu si Hezekia ƒe vi, Manase, Yuda fia wɔ le Yerusalem ta.
5 Who shall then haue pitie vpon thee, O Ierusalem? or who shalbe sorie for thee? or who shall go to pray for thy peace?
Yehowa be, “O Yerusalem, ame kae akpɔ nublanui na wò? Ame kae afa na wò? Ame kae atɔ, abia wò agbe ta se?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, sayth the Lord, and gone backward: therefore wil I stretch out mine hand against thee, and destroy thee: for I am weary with repenting.
Ègbe nu le gbɔnye, ègale megbedede dzi eya ta malé wò, atsrɔ̃ wò. Nyemagate ŋu akpɔ nublanui na wò o.
7 And I wil scatter them with the fanne in the gates of the earth I haue wasted, and destroyed my people, yet they would not returne from their wayes.
Magbɔ wò kple nugbɔnu le anyigba sia ƒe agbowo nu. Mana kunyawo nadzɔ ɖe wo dzi eye matsrɔ̃ dukɔ sia elabena wometrɔ le woƒe mɔwo dzi o.
8 Their widdowes are increased by mee aboue the sande of the sea: I haue brought vpon them, and against the assembly of the yong men a destroyer at noone day: I haue caused him to fal vpon them, and the citie suddenly, and speedily.
Mana woƒe ahosiwo nasɔ gbɔ wu ƒutake. Le ŋdɔkutsu dzeati makplɔ nugblẽla vɛ, wòava ƒo ɖe ɖekakpuiwo dadawo dzi. Mahe vevesese kple ŋɔdzi va wo dzi kpoyi!
9 Shee that hath borne seuen, hath bene made weake: her heart hath failed: the sunne hath failed her, whiles it was day: she hath bene confounded, and ashamed, and the residue of them will I deliuer vnto the sworde before their enemies, sayth the Lord.
Nu ate vi adre dzila ŋu, eye wòaɖe asi le eƒe luʋɔ ŋu. Eƒe ɣe aɖo to le ŋdɔ. Woado vloe eye wòaɖu ŋukpe. Mana ame siwo susɔ la natsi yi nu le woƒe futɔwo ƒe ŋkume,” Yehowae gblɔe.
10 Wo is mee, my mother, that thou hast borne mee, a contentious man, and a man that striueth with the whole earth I haue neither lent on vsury, nor men haue lent vnto me on vsurie: yet euery one doeth curse me.
Danye, baba be nèdzim. Nye ame si anyigba blibo la le avu wɔm, le nya hem kplii! Nyemedo nugbana na ame aɖeke o, eye ame aɖeke hã medo nugbana nam o, gake ame sia ame le fi ƒom le deyem.
11 The Lord sayd, Surely thy remnant shall haue wealth: surely I will cause thine enemie to intreate thee in the time of trouble, and in the time of affliction.
Yehowa be, “Vavã maɖe wò kokoko le susu nyui aɖe ta. Le nyateƒe me, mana wò ketɔwo naɖe kuku na wò le gbegblẽ kple xaxa ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me.
12 Shall the yron breake the yron, and the brasse that commeth from the North?
“Ɖe ame ate ŋu aŋe gayibɔ alo akɔbli si tso anyiehea?
13 Thy substance and thy treasures wil I giue to be spoyled without gaine, and that for all thy sinnes euen in all thy borders.
“Wò nu xɔasiwo kple wò kesinɔnuwo la, matsɔ wo ana abe nuhaha ene femaxee le wò nu vɔ̃ siwo nèwɔ le wò dukɔ me godoo la ta.
14 And I wil make thee to go with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burne you.
Mana nànye kluvi na wò futɔwo le anyigba si mènya o la dzi elabena nye dziku azu dzo abi ɖe ŋutiwò.”
15 O Lord, thou knowest, remember me, and visite me, and reuenge me of my persecuters: take mee not away in the continuance of thine anger: know that for thy sake I haue suffered rebuke.
O Yehowa, èse egɔme eya ta ɖo ŋku dzinye eye nàkpɔ tanye. Bia hlɔ̃ yonyemetilawo; le wò dzigbɔgbɔ blewuu me la, mègakplɔm dzoe o. Bu ale si mexɔ vlododo le tawòe la ŋuti.
16 Thy wordes were founde by me, and I did eate them, and thy worde was vnto me the ioy and reioycing of mine heart: for thy Name is called vpon me, O Lord God of hostes.
Esi wò nyawo va la, meɖu wo, wovivi nunye eye wonye nye dzi ƒe dzidzɔ, elabena wò ŋkɔ le ŋunye, O Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu.
17 I sate not in the assembly of the mockers, neither did I reioyce, but sate alone because of thy plague: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
Nyemenɔ anyi ɖe aglotulawo ƒe hame kpɔ loo alo kpɔ dzidzɔ kpli wo kpɔ o. Nye ɖeka koe nɔ anyi elabena wò asi le dzinye eye nètsɔ dziku yɔ menye.
18 Why is mine heauines continuall? and my plague desperate and cannot be healed? why art thou vnto me as a lyar, and as waters that faile?
Nu ka ta nye vevesese nu mele tsotsom o eye nye abiwo lolo ɖe edzi hezu abi makumakuwo? Ɖe nànɔ nam abe bleziblezita alo vudo si megale tsi dzim o la enea?
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou returne, then wil I bring thee againe, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take away the precious from the vile, thou shalt be according to my worde: let them returne vnto thee, but returne not thou vnto them.
Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Ne mietrɔ dzi me la, magaɖo mi te be miasubɔm. Ne miagblɔ nya vavãwo, ke menye nya maɖinyawo o, magana mianye nye amewo. Na ame siawo natrɔ ɖe ŋuwò, ke wò màtrɔ ɖe wo ŋu o.
20 And I will make thee vnto this people a strong brasen wall, and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee: for I am with thee to saue thee and to deliuer thee, saith ye Lord.
Mawɔ wò nànye gli na ame siawo eye nànye akɔbligli sesẽ na wo. Woawɔ avu kpli wò, gake womaɖu dziwò o, elabena meli kpli wò be maxɔ na wò.
21 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeeme thee out of the hand of the tyrants.
Maxɔ wò le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me, eye maɖe wò le ŋutasẽlawo ƒe fego me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
