< Jeremiah 33 >

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Esi Yeremia gale ga me ko le dzɔlawo ƒe xɔxɔnu la, Yehowa ƒe nya va nɛ zi evelia be,
2 "Thus says the LORD who made the earth, and who formed it to establish it; the LORD is his name:
“Ale Yehowa, ame si wɔ anyigba, Yehowa si wɔe hetsɔe ɖo te, eye eŋkɔe nye Yehowa la gblɔe nye esi:
3 'Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and hidden things, which you do not know.'
‘Yɔm, eye matɔ na wò, magblɔ nu gã siwo mènya o, eye wo me dzodzro hã meli o la na wò!’
4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword;
Elabena ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ ɖe aƒe siwo le du sia me kple Yuda fiawo ƒe fiasã siwo wogbã ƒu anyi be woalɔ awɔ akpoxɔnu ɖe futɔwo ƒe aʋawɔnuwo kple yi ŋuti,
5 while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:
le aʋa si wowɔ kple Babiloniatɔwo la me. ‘Woayɔ fũu kple ŋutsu siwo mewu le nye dziku kple dɔmedzoe me la ƒe kukuawo. Maɣla nye mo ɖe du sia le eƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo katã ta.
6 'Look, I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
“‘Gake kpɔ ɖa mayɔ dɔ wo eye woahaya. Mayɔ dɔ nye dukɔ eye mana ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ fũu.
7 I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
Makplɔ Yuda kple Israel agbɔe tso aboyo me, eye magaɖo wo te abe ale si wonɔ tsã ene.
8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me.
Maklɔ nu vɔ̃ siwo katã wowɔ ɖe ŋutinye la ɖa le wo ŋu, eye matsɔ woƒe aglãdzedze ƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo katã wowɔ ɖe ŋunye la ake wo.
9 This city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to it.'
Ekema du sia atsɔ ŋkɔ gã, dzidzɔ, kafukafu kple bubu vɛ nam le anyigbadzidukɔ siwo katã se nu nyui siwo mewɔ na wo la dome; ŋɔdzi alé wo eye woadzo nyanyanya le nunyoname gbogbo kple ŋutifafa si mena wo la ta.’
10 "Thus says the LORD: 'Yet again there shall be heard in this place, about which you say, "It is waste, without man and without animal," even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ègblɔ tso teƒe sia ŋuti be, ezu aƒedo si me amewo alo lãwo mele o.’ Gake le Yuda duwo kple Yerusalem kpɔdome siwo ɖi gbɔlo, eye amegbetɔwo alo lãwo gɔ hã megale o la, woagase
11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, "Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever; who bring thanksgiving into the house of the LORD." For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first,' says the LORD.
dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso, ŋugbetɔ kple ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ƒe gbe kple ame siwo tsɔ akpedavɔsa va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ mee, woanɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Mida akpe na Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, elabena Yehowa ƒe dɔ me nyo eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li tegbee. Elabena magaɖo anyigba la ƒe nunyonamewo te abe tsã ene.” Yehowae gblɔe.
12 Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
“Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Teƒe sia kple eƒe du siwo katã zu aƒedo, eye amewo alo lãwo gɔ̃ hã menɔ wo me o la aganye lãnyiƒe damawo na alẽkplɔlawo be woakplɔ woƒe alẽhawo ayii.
13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him who numbers them,' says the LORD.
Le togbɛnyigba ƒe duwo me kple du siwo le ɣetoɖoƒe ƒe togbɛmɔwo to, kpe ɖe du siwo le gbegbe le Benyaminyigba dzi, heyi ɖe kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã Yerusalem kple Yuda ƒe duwo la, alẽhawo agato wo xlẽla ƒe asi te.’ Yehowae gblɔe.
14 'Look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
“Yehowa be, ‘Ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi mawɔ ɖe amenuveve ƒe ŋugbe si medo na Israel kple Yuda ƒe aƒewo dzi.’
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
“Le ŋkeke mawo kple ɣeyiɣi mawo me la, mana Atilɔ dzɔdzɔe aɖe nado tso David ƒe ƒome me, awɔ nu si le eteƒe, eye wòle dzɔdzɔe la le anyigba dzi.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name by which she shall be called: "The LORD our righteousness."
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, woaɖe Yuda, eye Yerusalem anɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me. Esiae nye ŋkɔ si woayɔ nɛ, ‘Yehowa Míaƒe Dzɔdzɔenyenye?’
17 For thus says the LORD: "David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel;
Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘David magbe amekpɔkpɔ ne wòanɔ anyi ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpui dzi loo,
18 neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."'"
alo nunɔla siwo nye Leviviwo la nagbe ame si anɔ nye ŋkume ɖaa anɔ numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa kple vɔsa bubuwo wɔm nam la kpɔkpɔ o.’”
19 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,
20 "Thus says the LORD: 'If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ne miate ŋu atu nye nu si mebla kple ŋkeke kple zã, ale be ŋkeke kple zã magava ɖe woƒe ɖoɖo nu o la,
21 then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
ekema woate ŋu atu nye nu si mebla kple nye dɔla David kple esi mebla kple Leviviwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo eye wowɔa subɔsubɔdɔ le ŋkunye me. David hã magakpɔ dzidzimevi si aɖu fia le eƒe fiazikpui dzi o.
22 As the host of heaven can't be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.'"
Mawɔ David ƒe dzidzimeviwo woanye nye dɔlawo eye mana Levi vi siwo wɔa subɔsubɔdɔ le ŋkunye me la nasɔ gbɔ abe ɣletiviwo le dziŋgɔli ŋu kple ke le ƒuta ene.’”
23 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,
24 "Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, 'The two families which the LORD chose, he has cast them off?' Thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
“Mède dzesii be ame siawo le gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Yehowa gbe fiaɖuƒe eve siwo wòtia’ la oa? Ale woɖe alɔme le dukɔ la ŋu eye womegabua wo abe dukɔ ene o.
25 Thus says the LORD: 'If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Nenye ɖe nyemebla nu kple ŋkeke kple zã o eye mede se na dziƒo kple anyigba o la,
26 then will I also cast away the descendants of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.'"
ekema magbe Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo kple nye dɔla, David eye nyematia via ŋutsuwo dometɔ aɖeke be wòaɖu fia ɖe Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo dzi o, elabena matrɔ woƒe dzɔgbenyui na wo, eye makpɔ nublanui na wo.”
