Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reigne of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, came this worde from the Lord, saying,
Le Yuda fia, Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe gɔmedzedzea me la, nya sia va nam tso Yehowa gbɔ.
2 Thus saith the Lord, Sande in the court of the Lordes House, and speake vnto all the cities of Iudah, which come to worshippe in the Lords House, all the wordes that I commaund thee to speake vnto them: keepe not a worde backe,
“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 If so be they will hearken, and turne euery man from his euill way, that I may repent me of the plague, which I haue determined to bring vpon them, because of the wickednesse of their workes.
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 And thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord, If ye will not heare me to walke in my Lawes, which I haue set before 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 to heare ye wordes of my seruants the Prophets, whome I sent vnto you, both rising vp earely, and sending them, and will not obey them,
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 will I make this House like Shiloh, and will make this citie a curse to all the nations of the earth.
ekema mawɔ gbedoxɔ sia abe Silo ene eye du sia azu fiƒodenu le anyigbadzidukɔwo katã dome.’”
7 So the Priestes, and the Prophets, and all the people heard Ieremiah speaking these wordes in the House of the Lord.
Nunɔlawo, nyagblɔɖilawo kple ame siwo katã le afi ma se Yeremia wònɔ nya siawo gblɔm le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
8 Nowe when Ieremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speake vnto all the people, then the Priestes, and the prophets, and all the people tooke him, and saide, Thou shalt die the death.
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 Why hast thou prophecied in the Name of the Lord, saying, This House shall be like Shiloh, and this citie shalbe desolate without an inhabitant? and all the people were gathered against Ieremiah in the House of the Lord.
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 And when the princes of Iudah heard of these things, they came vp from the Kings house into the House of the Lord, and sate downe in the entrie of the new gate of the Lords House.
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 Then spake the Priestes, and the prophets vnto the princes, and to all the people, saying, This man is worthie to die: for he hath prophecied against this citie, as ye haue heard with your eares.
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 Then spake Ieremiah vnto all the princes, and to al the people, saying, The Lord hath sent me to prophecie against this house and against this citie all the things that ye haue 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 Therefore nowe amende your wayes and your workes, and heare the voyce of the Lord your God, that the Lord may repent him of the plague, that he hath pronounced against 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 for me, beholde, I am in your hands: do with me as ye thinke 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 knowe ye for certaine, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood vpon your selues, and vpon this citie, and vpon the inhabitants thereof: for of a trueth the Lord hath sent me vnto you, to speake all these words in your eares.
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 saide the princes and all the people vnto the Priestes, and to the prophets, This man is not worthie to die: for he hath spoken vnto vs in the Name 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 Then rose vp certaine of the Elders of the lande, and spake to all the assemblie of the people, saying,
Dumegãwo dometɔ aɖewo do ɖe ŋgɔgbe hegblɔ na ameha la be,
18 Michah the Morashite prophecied in the dayes of Hezekiah king of Iudah, and spake to al the people of Iudah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Zion shall be plowed like a fielde, and Ierusalem shalbe an heape, and the mountaine of the House shalbe as the hie places of the forest.
“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 Iudah, and all Iudah put him to death? did he not feare ye Lord, and prayed before the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the plague, that he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great euill against our soules.
“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 And there was also a man that prophecied in the Name of the Lord, one Vriiah the sonne of Shemaiah, of Kiriath-iarem, who prophecied against this citie, and against this lande, according to all the wordes of Ieremiah.
(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 Nowe when Iehoiakim the King with all his men of power, and all the princes heard his wordes, the King sought to slay him. But when Vriiah heard it, he was afraide and fled, and went into 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 Then Iehoiakim the King sent men into Egypt, euen Elnathan the sonne of Achbor, and certaine with him into Egypt.
Ke Fia Yehoyakim dɔ Elnatan, Akbor ƒe vi kple ŋutsu bubu geɖewo ɖe eyome.
23 And they fet Vriiah out of Egypt, and brought him vnto Iehoiakim the King, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead bodie into the graues of the children of the people.
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 But the hande of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan was with Ieremiah that they shoulde not giue him into the hande of the people to put him to death.
Gawu la, Safan ƒe vi, Ahikam de megbe na Yeremia ale wometsɔe de asi na ameawo be woawu o.
