Jeremias 34
1 Thus said the Lord; Make to yourself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about your neck,
Esime Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar kple eƒe aʋakɔwo kple fiaɖuƒe siwo katã le ete la le aʋa wɔm kple Yerusalem kple du siwo katã ƒo xlãe la, nya sia tso Yehowa gbɔ va na Yeremia be,
“Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Yi ɖe Yuda fia Zedekia gbɔ nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Esusɔ vie matsɔ du sia ade asi na Babilonia fia, wòatɔ dzoe.
3 and you shall send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda.
Màdo le eƒe asi me o, ke boŋ woalé wò kokoko ade asi nɛ. Àkpɔ Babilonia fia la kple wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkuwo eye aƒo nu kpli wò ŋkume kple ŋkume. Ale woakplɔ wò ayi Babiloniae.
4 And you shall commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your lords;
“‘Ke hã la, se Yehowa ƒe ŋugbedodo, O Yuda fia Zedekia. Ale Yehowa gblɔ tso ŋutiwòe nye esi: Màtsi yi nu o,
5 I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whoever it shall seem [good] in mine eyes.
ke boŋ àku le ŋutifafa me. Abe ale si amewo do kuteƒedzo na fia siwo do ŋgɔ na wò, ame siwo nye fofowòwo, hetsɔ de bubu wo ŋutii ene la, nenema kee woado dzo atsɔ de bubu ŋutiwòe ahado konyifaɣli be, “Alele, O nye Aƒetɔ!” Nye ŋutɔe do ŋugbe sia, Yehowae gblɔe.’”
6 I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labor for him.
Ale Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia yi ɖato nya siawo katã na Yuda fia Zedekia le Yerusalem,
esime Babilonia fia le aʋa wɔm kple Yerusalem kple Yuda du siwo gale te nu, abe Lakis kple Azeka ene. Du siawo koe ganye du siwo ŋu gli sesẽwo nɔ le Yuda.
8 And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, says the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand.
Gbe tso Yehowa gbɔ va na Yeremia esi fia Zedekia wɔ nubabla kple ame siwo katã nɔ Yerusalem, be woaɖe gbeƒã ablɔɖe na kluviwo vɔ megbe.
9 And listen you not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretell events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, You shall by no means work for the king of Babylon:
Nya lae nye be ame sia ame nena ablɔɖe eƒe Hebri kluvi siwo nɔ esi, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa. Ame aɖeke megawɔ ehavi Hebritɔ aɖeke kluvie o.
10 for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land.
Eya ta dumegãwo katã kple ame siwo ɖo nubabla sia me la lɔ̃ be woaɖe asi le kluviawo ŋu, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa, be womaganɔ kluvinyenye me o. Esi wolɔ̃ ta la, wona ablɔɖe kluviawo.
11 But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it.
Gake wotrɔ susu emegbe eye wogana ame siwo ŋu woɖe asi le la gazu kluviwo.
12 I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke], and serve the king of Babylon.
Tete Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,
“Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Mebla nu kple mia fofowo esi mekplɔ wo do goe tso Egipte, tso kluvinyenye me. Megblɔ be,
14 For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,
‘Le ƒe adrelia me la, mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe naɖe asi le nɔvia Hebritɔ si tsɔ eɖokui de awɔba me nɛ la ŋu. Esi wòsubɔ wò ƒe ade vɔ megbe la, ele be nàɖe asi le eŋu wòadzo.’ Gake mia fofowo gbe, womeɖo tom alo de nu eme nam o.
15 for I sent them not, says the Lord; and they prophesy [in] my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and you should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you.
Nyitsɔ laa mietrɔ dzi me hewɔ nu si nyo la le nye ŋkume. Mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ɖe gbeƒã ablɔɖe na ehavi. Kura gɔ̃ hã la, miebla nu le ŋkunye me le Aƒe si ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo la me.
16 I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Listen not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous [words].
Ke azɔ la miegatrɔ glalã, heƒo ɖi nye ŋkɔ eye mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe gaxɔ ŋutsu kple nyɔnu kluvi siwo miena ablɔɖee be woayi afi si wolɔ̃. Miezi wo dzi be woaganye miaƒe kluviwo.
17 I sent them not.
“Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Mieɖo tom o, miena ablɔɖe hã mia haviwo o. Eya ta azɔ la, meɖe gbeƒã ‘ablɔɖe’ na mi, ‘ablɔɖe’ be miatsi yi, dɔvɔ̃ kple dɔwuame ƒe asi me, eye matsɔ mi awɔ ŋɔdzidonu na anyigbadzifiaɖuƒewo katã.
18 If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said.
Ŋutsu siwo tu nye nubabla, eye womewɔ ɖe nu si wobla le ŋkunye me la dzi o la, mawɔ wo abe nyivi si wofe ɖe eve hezɔ to eƒe titina la ene.
19 And as for the remaining vessels,
Yuda kple Yerusalem dumegãwo, nunɔlawo kple ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi, ame siwo zɔ to nyivi fefe la titina la,
20 which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem,
makplɔ de asi na woƒe futɔ siwo le woƒe agbe yome tim. Woƒe ŋutilã kukua azu nuɖuɖu na dziƒoxeviwo kple gbemelãwo.
“Matsɔ Yuda fia Zedekia kple eƒe dumegãwo ade asi na woƒe futɔ siwo le woƒe agbe yome tim, na Babilonia fia ƒe aʋakɔ siwo ʋu dzo le mia gbɔ la.
22 they shall go into Babylon, says the Lord.
Yehowa be yele gbe ɖe ge, eye yeakplɔ wo agbɔe va du sia me. Woawɔ aʋa kplii, axɔe eye woatɔ dzoe wòabi. Mana be Yuda duwo nazu aƒedo, ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ wo me o.”
