Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Ieremiah, concerning all the people of Iudah in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah that was in the first yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel:
Le Yosia ƒe vi, Yehoyakim, Yuda fia ƒe ƒe enelia me si nye Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia ku ɖe Yuda dukɔ la ŋu.
2 The which Ieremiah the Prophet spake vnto all the people of Iudah, and to all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying,
Eya ta nyagblɔɖila Yeremia, gblɔ na Yudatɔwo katã kple ame siwo nɔ Yerusalem la be:
3 From the thirteenth yeere of Iosiah the sonne of Amon King of Iudah, euen vnto this day (that is the three and twentieth yeere) the word of the Lord hath come vnto mee, and I haue spoken vnto you rising earely and speaking, but ye woulde not heare.
Ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ sɔŋ nye esi mele nu ƒom na mi. Tso keke Amon ƒe vi Yosia, Yuda fia ƒe ƒe wuietɔ̃lia me va se ɖe fifia, Yehowa ƒe nya va nam, eye megblɔe na mi enuenu, gake mieɖo to o.
4 And the Lord hath sent vnto you all his seruantes the Prophets, rising early and sending them, but yee would not heare, nor encline your eares to obey.
Togbɔ be Yehowa dɔ eƒe dɔla nyagblɔɖilawo ɖo ɖe mi zi geɖe hã la, mieɖo to alo mietsɔ ɖeke le eme na wo o.
5 They sayde, Turne againe now euery one from his euill way, and from the wickednes of your inuentions, and ye shall dwell in the lande that the Lord hath giuen vnto you, and to your fathers for euer and euer.
Wogblɔ be, “Mitrɔ azɔ, mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, tso miaƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi kple miaƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ me, be miate ŋu anɔ anyigba si Yehowa tsɔ na mi la dzi, miawo ŋutɔ kple mia fofowo, tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
6 And go not after other gods to serue them and to worshippe them, and prouoke me not to anger with the workes of your hands, and I will not punish you.
Migadze mawu tutɔwo yome, ahayi wo subɔ ge o. Migade ta agu na wo o, migado dziku nam kple nu siwo miaƒe asiwo wɔ la o. Ekema nyemawɔ nuvevi mi o.”
7 Neuerthelesse ye would not heare me, saith the Lord, but haue prouoked mee to anger with the workes of your hands to your owne hurt.
Yehowa be, “Gake mieɖo tom o eye mietsɔ nu siwo miawo ŋutɔ ƒe asiwo wɔ la do dziku nam eye miehe vɔ̃ va mia ɖokuiwo dzii.”
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, Because ye haue not heard my wordes,
Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Esi mieɖo to nye nyawo o ta la,
9 Beholde, I will send and take to mee all the families of the North, saith the Lord, and Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and will bring them against this lande, and against the inhabitantes thereof, and against all these nations rounde about, and will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and an hissing, and a continuall desolation.
mayɔ anyiehemetɔwo katã, kple nye dɔla Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia aƒo ƒu, woatso ɖe anyigba sia, edzinɔlawo kple dukɔ siwo katã ƒo xlãe la ŋuti. Matsrɔ̃ wo gbidigbidi, awɔ wo woanye ŋɔdzinu kple fewuɖunu, eye woazu aƒedo tegbetegbe.
10 Moreouer I will take from them the voyce of mirth and the voyce of gladnesse, the voyce of the bridegrome and the voyce of the bride, the noise of the milstones, and the light of the candle.
Mana dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso nu natso eye womagase ŋugbetɔ kple ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ƒe gbe alo te ƒe gbe alo woakpɔ akaɖi wòaganɔ keklẽm o.
11 And this whole land shalbe desolate, and an astonishment, and these nations shall serue the King of Babel seuentie yeeres.
Anyigba sia katã azu aƒedo kple gbegbe eye dukɔ sia asubɔ Babilonia fia ƒe blaadre sɔŋ” Yehowae gblɔe.
12 And when the seuentie yeres are accomplished, I will visite the King of Babel and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquities, euen the land of the Caldeans, and will make it a perpetuall desolation,
Yehowa be, “Ke ne ƒe blaadre la de la, mahe to na Babilonia fia kple eƒe dukɔ, Babiloniatɔwo ɖe woƒe agɔdzedze ta eye mawɔ woƒe anyigba wòazu gbegbe tegbetegbe.
13 And I will bring vpon that lande all my wordes which I haue pronounced against it, euen all that is written in this booke, which Ieremiah hath prophecied against all nations.
Mana nu siwo katã megblɔ ɖi ɖe anyigba ma ŋuti, nu siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me kple esiwo Yeremia gblɔ ɖi ɖe dukɔwo ŋuti la nava wo dzi.
14 For many nations, and great Kings shall euen serue themselues of them: thus will I recompense them according to their deedes, and according to the workes of their owne handes.
Woawo ŋutɔ la, dukɔ geɖewo kple fia xɔŋkɔwo awɔ wo kluviwoe. Maɖo eteƒe na wo ɖe woƒe nuwɔnawo nu kple nu siwo woƒe asiwo wɔ la ta.”
15 For thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken vnto me, Take the cuppe of wine of this mine indignation at mine hand, and cause all the nations, to whome I sende thee, to drinke it.
Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ nam nye esi: “Xɔ kplu si nye dɔmedzoewain yɔ la le asinye eye nàkpee na dukɔ siwo katã gbɔ madɔ wò ɖo la.
16 And they shall drinke, and be moued and be mad, because of the sworde that I will sende among them.
Ne wonoe la, woazɔ sɔgɔsɔgɔ, eye woƒe tagbɔ atɔtɔ, le yi si maɖo ɖe wo dome la ta.”
17 Then tooke I the cup at the Lordes hand, and made all people to drinke, vnto whome the Lord had sent me:
Ale mexɔ kplu la le Yehowa si eye mena dukɔ siwo katã gbɔ wòdɔm ɖo la noe.
18 Euen Ierusalem, and the cities of Iudah, and the Kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them desolate, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse, as appeareth this day:
Ame siwo noe la woe nye Yerusalem nɔlawo, Yuda ƒe duwo, woƒe fiawo kple woƒe dumegãwo, be woagblẽ wo dome eye woazu ŋɔdzinu, fewuɖunu kple fiƒodenu abe ale si wole egbea ene.
19 Pharaoh also, King of Egypt, and his seruants, and his princes, and all his people:
Bubuwoe nye Egipte fia, Farao, eŋutinɔlawo, eƒe dumegãwo kple eƒe dukɔmetɔwo,
20 And all sortes of people, and all the Kings of the lande of Vz: and all the Kings of the lande of the Philistims, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod:

21 Edom, and Moab, and the Ammonites,
Edom, Moab kple Amon;
22 And all the Kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the Kings of the Yles, that are beyonde the Sea,

23 And Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that dwell in the vttermost corners,

24 And all the Kings of Arabia, and all the Kings of Arabia, that dwell in the desert,

25 And all the Kings of Zimri, and all the Kings of Elam, and all the Kings of the Medes,
Fia siwo katã le Zimri, Elam kple Media.
26 And all the Kings of the North, farre and neere one to another, and all the kingdomes of the worlde, which are vpon the earth, and the king of Sheshach shall drinke after them.
Anyiehemefiawo katã, esiwo tso kpuiƒe kple didiƒe siaa. Wo katã noe ɖe wo nɔewo yome, ale fiaɖuƒe siwo katã le anyigba dzi la noe. Ne wo katã noe vɔ la, ekema Sesak fia hã anoe.
27 Therefore say thou vnto them, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Drinke and bee drunken, and spewe and fall, and rise no more, because of the sworde, which I will sende among you.
“Ekema gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Mino aha ne miamu, ne miaɖe xe eye miamu adze anyi be miagafɔ gbeɖe o, le yi si maɖo ɖe mia dome la ta.”’
28 But if they refuse to take the cuppe at thine hande to drinke, then tell them, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Ye shall certainely drinke.
Ke ne wogbe be yewomaxɔ kplu la le asiwò ano o la, nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔe nye esi: “Ele na mi be mianoe!”
29 For loe, I beginne to plague the citie, where my Name is called vpon, and shoulde you goe free? Ye shall not goe quite: for I will call for a sword vpon al the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hostes.
Kpɔ ɖa, miedze egɔme le gbegblẽ hem va du si ŋu woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo la dzi eye wò ya nèsusu be magbe tohehe na yea? Nyemagbe tohehe na wò o, elabena medɔ yi ɖe anyigbadzitɔwo katã ŋu, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.’
30 Therefore prophecie thou against them al these words, and say vnto them, The Lord shall roare from aboue, and thrust out his voyce from his holy habitation: he shall roare vpon his habitation, and crie aloude, as they that presse the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“Azɔ gblɔ nya siawo katã ɖi ɖe wo ŋu, nàgblɔ na wo be, “Yehowa aɖe gbe tso dziƒo eye aɖe gbe tso eƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔe la. Ate gbe sesĩe ɖe eƒe anyigba ŋuti. Ado ɣli abe ame siwo le waintsetse fiam la ene eye ado ɣli ɖe anyigbadzinɔlawo katã ŋuti.
31 The sounde shall come to the endes of the earth: for the Lord hath a controuersie with the nations, and will enter into iudgement with all flesh, and he will giue them that are wicked, to the sworde, saith the Lord.
Hoowɔwɔ la aɖi le anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke, elabena Yehowa atsɔ nya ɖe dukɔwo ŋu, ahe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ va amewo katã dzi eye wòatsɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ade asi na yi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Behold, a plague shall goe foorth from nation to nation, and a great whirlewinde shalbe raised vp from the coastes of the earth,
Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, gbegblẽ le kakam tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me. Ahom sesẽ aɖe ho tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke.”
33 And the slaine of the Lord shall be at that day, from one ende of the earth, euen vnto the other ende of the earth: they shall not bee mourned, neither gathered nor buried, but shalbe as the dongue vpon the grounde.
Le ɣe ma ɣi la, ame siwo Yehowa wu la akaka ɖe afi sia afi, tso anyigba ƒe go sia dzi yi go kemɛ dzi. Womafa na wo alo aƒo wo ƒu alo aɖi wo o, ke boŋ woanɔ abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene anɔ anyigba.
34 Howle, ye shepherdes, and crie, and wallowe your selues in the ashes, ye principall of the flocke: for your dayes of slaughter are accomplished, and of your dispersion, and ye shall fall like precious vessels.
Mi alẽkplɔlawo, mifa avi, mido ɣli, mimli le ke me, mi alẽha ƒe kplɔlawo. Elabena miaƒe ɣeyiɣi de, be woawu mi, miadze anyi agbã gudugudu abe tɔmedeze ene.
35 And the flight shall faile from the shepherdes, and the escaping from the principall of the flocke.
Alẽkplɔlawo makpɔ teƒe aɖeke asi yi o, eye alẽhawo ƒe kplɔlawo manya afi si woabe ɖo o.
36 A voyce of the crye of the shepherdes, and an howling of the principall of the flocke shalbe heard: for the Lord hath destroyed their pasture.
Se alẽkplɔlawo ƒe aviɣli ɖa; ɖo to kplɔlawo ƒe ɣlidodo, elabena Yehowa le woƒe lãnyiƒe la tsrɔ̃m.
37 And the best pastures are destroyed because of the wrath and indignation of the Lord.
Gbe dama nyuiwo azu kuɖiɖinyigba le Yehowa ƒe dziku dziŋɔ la ta.
38 He hath forsaken his couert, as the lyon: for their land is waste, because of the wrath of the oppressor, and because of ye wrath of his indignatio.
Agblẽ eƒe ave ɖi abe dzata ene, eye woƒe anyigba azu gbegbe le ameteɖetola ƒe yi kple Yehowa ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ la ta.
