Jeremiah 43
1 Nowe when Ieremiah had made an ende of speaking vnto ye whole people all the wordes of the Lord their God, for the which the Lord their God had sent him to them, euen all these wordes,
Esi Yeremia wu Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la ƒe nyawo gbɔgblɔ na dukɔ la nu eye esi wòwu nya siwo katã Yehowa ɖo ɖee be wòagblɔ na wo nu vɔ la,
2 Then spake Azariah the sonne of Hoshaiah, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the proude men, saying vnto Ieremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Goe not into Egypt to dwell there,
Hosaya ƒe vi, Azaria, Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple ŋutsu tosesẽtɔwo katã gblɔ na Yeremia be, “Aʋatso kam nèle! Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la medɔ wò be nàgblɔ be, ‘Migayi Egipte, ne mianɔ afi ma o.’
3 But Baruch ye sonne of Neriah prouoketh thee against vs, for to deliuer vs into the hand of the Caldeans, that they might slay vs, and cary vs away captiues into Babel.
Ke boŋ Neria ƒe vi, Baruk, eyae le adã dem ta me na wò ɖe mía ŋu be, nàtsɔ mí ade asi na Babiloniatɔwo be woawu mí loo, alo aɖe aboyo mí ayi ɖe Babiloniae.”
4 So Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, and all the people obeied not the voyce of the Lord, to dwell in the lande of Iudah.
Ale Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple asrafomegã siwo katã le eŋu kple ameha la katã gbe be yewomawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe se si wòde na wo be woanɔ Yudanyigba dzi la dzi o.
5 But Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste tooke all the remnant of Iudah, that were returned from al nations, whither they had bene driuen, to dwel in ye land of Iudah:
Le esia teƒe la, Yohanan, Karea ƒe vi kple asrafomegãwo katã kplɔ ame siwo susɔ ɖe Yuda, ame siwo trɔ gbɔ be woava nɔ Yudanyigba dzi tso dukɔ siwo katã me wokaka ɖo la dzoe.
6 Euen men and women, and children, and the Kinges daughters, and euery person, that Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward had left with Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, ye sonne of Shaphan, and Ieremiah the Prophet, and Baruch the sonne of Neriah.
Wokplɔ ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo, ɖeviwo kple fiavinyɔnu siwo aʋafia, Nebuzaradan gblẽ ɖe Ahikam ƒe vi, Safan ƒe vi, Gedalia gbɔ hekpe ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia, Neria ƒe vi, Baruk gbɔ la hã dzoe.
7 So they came into the lande of Egypt: for they obeied not the voice of the Lord: thus came they to Tahpanhes.
Ale woyi ɖe Egipte, hetsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋu eye woɖo keke Tapanhes ke gɔ hã.
8 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Ieremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia le Tapanhes be,
9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the claie in the bricke kill, which is at the entrie of Pharaohs house in Tanpanhes in ye sight of the men of Iudah,
“Tsɔ kpe gã aɖewo ɖe asi ne Yudatɔwo ƒe ŋku le dziwò eye nàɖi wo ɖe Farao ƒe Fiasã ƒe mɔnu, ɖe anyikpe siwo woɖo ɖe mɔa nu la te
10 And say vnto them, Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I will sende and bring Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and will set his throne vpon these stones that I haue hid, and he shall spread his pauilion ouer them.
Ekema gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Mele ame dɔ ge aɖo ɖe nye dɔla Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia eye matsɔ eƒe fiazikpui aɖo kpe siwo meɖi ɖe teƒe sia la dzi eye wòakeke eƒe dzoya ɖe wo dzi.
11 And when he shall come, he shall smite the land of Egypt: such as are appoynted for death, to death, and such as are for captiuitie, to captiuitie, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Ava dze Egipte dzi eye wòahe ku vɛ na ame siwo woɖo ɖi na ku, aboyomeyiyi na ame siwo woɖo ɖi na aboyomenɔnɔ eye yi na ame siwo woɖo ɖi na yi.
12 And I wil kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burne them and carie them away captiues, and he shall aray himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepheard putteth on his garment, and shall depart from thence in peace.
Atɔ dzo Egipte mawuwo ƒe gbedoxɔwo, atɔ dzo woƒe gbedoxɔwo eye wòaɖe aboyo woƒe mawuawo. Abe ale si alẽkplɔla tsɔa avɔ xatsana ɖe eɖokui ŋu ene la, nenema wòatsɔ Egipte abla ɖe eɖokui ŋu eye wòadzo kɔ̃ɔ le dedinɔnɔ me.
13 He shall breake also ye images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the lande of Egypt, and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burne with fire.
Amu legba siwo le Ɣemawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me le Egipte la aƒu anyi eye wòatɔ dzo Egipte mawuwo ƒe trɔ̃xɔwo katã.’”
