Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been from YHWH, saying,
Le Yuda fia, Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe gɔmedzedzea me la, nya sia va nam tso Yehowa gbɔ.
2 “Thus said YHWH: Stand in the court of the house of YHWH, and you have spoken to all [those of] the cities of Judah, who are coming to bow themselves in the house of YHWH, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them—you do not diminish a word.
“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 Perhaps they listen, and each turns back from his evil way; then I have relented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
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 you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: If you do not listen to Me, to walk in My law that I 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 to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending to you, indeed, rising early and sending, and you have not listened,
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 I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.”
ekema mawɔ gbedoxɔ sia abe Silo ene eye du sia azu fiƒodenu le anyigbadzidukɔwo katã dome.’”
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of YHWH,
Nunɔlawo, nyagblɔɖilawo kple ame siwo katã le afi ma se Yeremia wònɔ nya siawo gblɔm le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
8 and it comes to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah’s speaking all that YHWH has commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, “You surely die!
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 have you prophesied in the Name of YHWH, saying, This house will be as Shiloh, and this city is desolated, without inhabitant?” And all the people are assembled to Jeremiah in the house of YHWH.
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 the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of YHWH, and sit in the opening of the New Gate of YHWH.
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 And the priests and the prophets speak to the heads, and to all the people, saying, “Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
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 And Jeremiah speaks to all the heads, and to all the people, saying, “YHWH sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that you have 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 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and listen to the voice of your God YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the evil that He has spoken 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 And I, behold, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
Ke nye ya la, mele miaƒe asi me xoxo. Miwɔ nu si miesusu be enyo eye wòle eteƒe la kplim faa.
15 only, certainly know that if you are putting me to death, you are surely putting innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for YHWH has truly sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
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 And the heads and all the people say to the priests and to the prophets, “There is not a judgment of death for this man, for he has spoken to us in the Name of our God YHWH.”
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 And men from [the] elderly of the land rise up and speak to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Dumegãwo dometɔ aɖewo do ɖe ŋgɔgbe hegblɔ na ameha la be,
18 “Micah the Morashtite has been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he says to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a 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 Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear YHWH? Indeed, he appeases the face of YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the calamity that He spoke against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.”
“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 has also been a man prophesying in the Name of YHWH, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesies against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
(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 and King Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeks to put him to death, and Urijah hears, and fears, and flees, and goes to 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 And King Jehoiakim sends men to Egypt—Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him to Egypt—
Ke Fia Yehoyakim dɔ Elnatan, Akbor ƒe vi kple ŋutsu bubu geɖewo ɖe eyome.
23 and they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him to King Jehoiakim, and he strikes him with a sword, and casts his corpse to the graves of the sons 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 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan has been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand 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.
