< Jeremiah 30 >
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
Esia nye nya si va na Yeremia tso Yehowa gbɔ.
2 'Thus speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
“Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ŋlɔ nya siwo katã megblɔ na wò la ɖe agbalẽ me’
3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'
Yehowa be, ‘Ŋkekewo li gbɔna, esi makplɔ nye dukɔwo Israel kple Yuda agbɔe tso aboyo me, eye magbugbɔ anyigba si metsɔ na wo fofowo be wòanye wo tɔ la na wo.’” Yehowa gblɔe.
4 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Nya siawoe Yehowa gblɔ tso Israel kple Yuda ŋuti.
5 For thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Wose vɔvɔ̃ ƒe avifafa, ŋɔdzi koe li, menye ŋutifafa o.
6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child; wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Bia eye nàkpɔe ɖa be, Ɖe ŋutsu afɔ fu ahadzi via? Ekema, nu ka ta mekpɔ ŋutsu sesẽ ɖe sia ɖe le asi lilim eƒe ƒodo dzi abe nyɔnu si le ku lém ene, eye woƒe mowo fu tititi ale?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is a time of trouble unto Jacob, but out of it shall he be saved.
Alele, anye ŋkeke dziŋɔ eye ɖeke magasɔ kplii o! Anye xaxaɣi na Yakob, ke woaɖee le eme.”
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman;
Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la be, “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, maŋe kɔkuti la le woƒe kɔwo eye maɖe ga wo, amedzrowo magado kluvi wo azɔ o.
9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
Ke boŋ woasubɔ Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la kple woƒe fia David, si maɖo na wo.
10 Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob My servant, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel; for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
“Eya ta mègavɔ̃ o. O, nye dɔla Yakob. O Israel, wò mo megatsi dãa o.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Le nyateƒe me, makplɔ wò tso didiƒenyigba dzi, eye maɖe wò dzidzimeviwo hã tso aboyo me. Yakob aganɔ anyi le ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ me eye ame aɖeke magado vodzi nɛ o.
11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; for I will correct thee in measure, and will not utterly destroy thee.
Meli kpli wò be maɖe wò.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Togbɔ be matsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo katã me mekaka mi ɖo hã la, nyematsrɔ̃ miawo ya keŋkeŋ o. Nyemagblẽ mi ɖi tomahemahee ya o, mahe to na mi gake ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye dzi.
12 For thus saith the LORD: Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Wò abi la nye abi makumaku, eye nuvevi si wɔ wò la, womate ŋu adae o.
13 None deemeth of thy wound that it may be bound up; thou hast no healing medicines.
Ame aɖeke meli aʋli tawò o, atike aɖeke meli na wò abi la o, eya ta dɔyɔyɔ hã meli na wò o.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee, they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.
Wò lɔlɔ̃tɔwo katã ŋlɔ wò be, wometsɔ ɖeke le eme na wò o. Metu nu kpli wò abe ale si futɔ awɔ wòe ene, eye mehe to na wò abe ale si ŋutasẽla awɔe ene, elabena wò agɔdzedze lolo ŋutɔ, eye wò nu vɔ̃wo hã sɔ gbɔ.
15 Why criest thou for thy hurt, that thy pain is incurable? For the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
Nu ka ŋutie nèle avi fam tso wò abi kple vevesese si dɔyɔyɔ meli na o la ŋuti? Le wò agɔdzedze gbogboawo kple wò nu vɔ̃ gbogboawo tae mewɔ nu siawo katã ɖe ŋutiwò ɖo.
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
“‘Gake ame siwo katã vuvu wò la woavuvu wo, eye wò futɔwo katã ayi aboyo me. Ame siwo ha wò la, woaha woawo hã. Ame siwo wɔ wò abe afunyinuwo ene la, mawɔ woawo hã abe afunyinuwo ene.
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast: 'She is Zion, there is none that careth for her.'
Ke mana nàhaya, eye mana wò abiawo naku, elabena woyɔ wò be saɖagatɔ, Zion si ame aɖeke mebiaa eta sena o.’” Yehowae gblɔe.
18 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon her own mound, and the palace shall be inhabited upon its wonted place.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Kpɔ ɖa, magaɖo Yakob ƒe aƒe ƒe nu nyuiwo te eye makpɔ nublanui na eƒe nɔƒewo; woagbugbɔ du la atso ɖe gli gbagbãwo teƒe eye woatu fiasã la ɖe eƒe nɔƒe xoxoa.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry; and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished, I will also increase them, and they shall not dwindle away.
Kafukafuha kple aseyetsogbe aɖi tso wo dome. Mana woadzi ɖe edzi eye wo dzi maɖe akpɔtɔ o. Made bubu wo ŋu eye womaɖi gbɔ̃ o.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
Wo viwo anɔ abe le blema ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me ene eye woƒe amehawo ali ke le ŋkunye me. Mahe to na ame siwo katã te wo ɖe to.
21 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto Me; for who is he that hath pledged his heart to approach unto Me? saith the LORD.
Woƒe kplɔla anye woawo ŋutɔ dometɔ ɖeka eye woƒe fia ado tso woawo ŋutɔ dome. Matee vɛ kpokploe eye wòate ɖe ŋunye nyuie. Elabena ame kae atsɔ eɖokui ana blibo be wòate ɖe ŋutinye kpokploe?
22 And ye shall be My people, and I will be your God.
Ale be mianye nye dukɔ eye nye hã manye miaƒe Mawu.’” Yehowae gblɔe.
23 Behold, a storm of the LORD is gone forth in fury, a sweeping storm; it shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.
Kpɔ ɖa, Yehowa ƒe ahom atu sesĩe le dziku helĩhelĩ me, eye yali abla ɖe ta ŋu na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kɔtɔɔ.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until He have executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart; in the end of days ye shall consider it.
Yehowa ƒe dziku dziŋɔ la matrɔ adzo o, va se ɖe esime wòwɔ nu siwo katã le eƒe dzi dzi la de goe hafi. Le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me la, miase nu sia gɔme.
