< Jeremiah 36 >
1 It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Le Yuda fia, Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enelia me la, Yehowa ƒe nya sia va na Yeremia be,
2 "Take a scroll, and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
“Tsɔ lãgbalẽ nàŋlɔ nu siwo katã megblɔ na wò tso Israel, Yuda kple dukɔ bubuwo ŋuti la ɖe edzi. Ŋlɔe tso gbe si gbe medze nuƒoƒo kpli wò le Yosia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me dzi va se ɖe fifia.
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin."
Ɖewohĩ ne Yudatɔwo ase gbegblẽ siwo katã meɖo be mahe va wo dzii la, wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atrɔ tso eƒe mɔ vɔ̃ dzi; ekema matsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo kple nu vɔ̃ ake wo.”
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll.
Tete Yeremia yɔ Neria ƒe vi, Baruk eye esi Yeremia le nya siwo katã Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la gblɔm la Baruk ŋlɔ wo katã ɖe lãgbalẽ la dzi.
5 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, "I am shut up; I can't go into the house of the LORD:
Yeremia gblɔ na Baruk be, “Mele ga me eya ta nyemate ŋu ayi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.
6 therefore you go, and read from the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD's house on the fast day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
Eya ta wò, yi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le nutsitsidɔ ŋkeke aɖe dzi eye nàxlẽ Yehowa ƒe nya siwo megblɔ na wò nèŋlɔ la na wo. Xlẽe na Yudatɔ siwo katã tso woƒe du vovovowo me va.
7 It may be they will present their petition before the LORD, and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that the LORD has pronounced against this people."
Ɖewohĩ woabɔbɔ wo ɖokui kple kokoƒoƒo le Yehowa ŋkume eye woatrɔ tso woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi elabena dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ si Yehowa gblɔ ɖi tso ame siawo ŋuti la lolo ŋutɔ.”
8 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the scroll the words of the LORD in the LORD's house.
Neria ƒe vi, Baruk wɔ nu siwo katã Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia gblɔ nɛ be wòawɔ. Le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la, exlẽ Yehowa ƒe nya na wo tso lãgbalẽ la me.
9 Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD.
Le Yuda fia, Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi, ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe atɔ̃lia ƒe ɣleti asiekɛlia me la, woɖe gbeƒã nutsitsidɔ le Yehowa ŋkume na Yerusalemtɔwo kple ame siwo katã tso Yuda ƒe duwo me va.
10 Then Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the New Gate of the LORD's house, in the ears of all the people.
Tso Safan ƒe vi, Gemaria, agbalẽŋlɔla ƒe xɔ si le xɔxɔnu dzigbetɔ si le gbedoxɔ ƒe Agboyeyea nu me la, Baruk xlẽ Yeremia ƒe nya siwo le lãgbalẽ la dzi la na ame siwo katã le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard from the scroll all the words of the LORD,
Esi Mikaya, Gemaria ƒe vi, Safan ƒe vi la se Yehowa ƒe nya siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe lãgbalẽ la dzi la,
12 he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's room: and look, all the officials were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the officials.
eɖiɖi yi ɖe agbalẽŋlɔla ƒe xɔ si le fiasã me la me, afi si dumegãwo ƒo ta kpli ɖe aɖaŋu me le. Woawoe nye: nuŋlɔla, Elisama, Delaya; Semaya ƒe vi, Elnatan, Akbor ƒe vi; Gemaria, Safan ƒe vi; Zedekia, Hananiya ƒe vi kple dumegã bubuwo katã.
13 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.
Esi Mikaya gblɔ nu siwo katã Baruk xlẽ na ameawo tso lãgbalẽ la me la,
14 Therefore all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, "Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come." So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
dumegãwo katã dɔ Yehudi, Netania ƒe vi, Selemia ƒe vi, Kusi ƒe vi ɖo ɖe Baruk be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ lãgbalẽ si me nèxlẽ nu le na dukɔ la, ne nàva.” Tete Neria ƒe vi, Baruk, yi wo gbɔ kple lãgbalẽ la.
15 They said to him, "Sit down now, and read it in our ears." So Baruch read it in their ears.
Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míeɖe kuku nɔ anyi, ne nàxlẽe na mí.” Tete Baruk xlẽe na wo.
16 Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, "We will surely tell the king of all these words."
Esi wose nya siawo katã la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo eye wode asi wo nɔewo ƒe ŋkume kpɔkpɔ me kple vɔvɔ̃ eye wogblɔ na Baruk be, “Ele be nàka nya siawo ta na fia la.”
17 They asked Baruch, saying, "Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth?"
Tete wobia Baruk be, “Gblɔe na mi, aleke nèwɔ ŋlɔ nu siawo? Yeremiae gblɔ wo na wòa?”
18 Then Baruch answered them, "He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink on the scroll."
Baruk ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, eyae gblɔ nya siawo katã nam eye metsɔ nuŋlɔtsi ŋlɔe ɖe lãgbalẽ la dzi.”
19 Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go, hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are."
Dumegãwo gblɔ na Baruk be, “Wò kple Yeremia, miyi miaɣla mia ɖokui. Migana ame aɖeke nanya afi si miele o.”
20 They went in to the king into the court; but they had put the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
Esi wotsɔ lãgbalẽ la da ɖe agbalẽŋlɔla Elisama ƒe xɔ me vɔ la, woyi ɖe fia la gbɔ le xɔxɔnu eye wogblɔ nya ɖe sia ɖe nɛ.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll; and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the officials who stood beside the king.
Fia la dɔ Yehudi be wòaɖatsɔ lãgbalẽ la vɛ. Yehudi yi ɖatsɔe le agbalẽŋlɔla Elisama ƒe xɔ me eye wòxlẽe na fia la kple eƒe dumegã siwo katã le tsitre ɖe exa.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
Enye ɣleti asiekɛlia eye fia la nɔ anyi ɖe eƒe vuvɔŋɔlixɔ me eye wodo dzo ɖe ze me da ɖe eƒe akɔme.
23 It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with a knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
Ne Yehudi xlẽ lãgbalẽ la fli etɔ̃ alo ene ko la, fia la tsɔa agbalẽŋlɔlawo ƒe hɛ lãnɛ ɖa hetsɔna ƒua gbe ɖe dzo si le ekɔme la me. Ewɔe alea va se ɖe esime wòtsɔ lãgbalẽ la katã de dzo me.
24 They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words.
Fia la kple eŋutime siwo katã se agbalẽ la me nyawo la meɖe vɔvɔ̃ aɖeke fia alo dze awu le wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti o.
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not hear them.
Togbɔ be Elnatan, Delaya kple Gemaria ƒoe ɖe fia la nu be megade lãgbalẽ la dzo me o hã la, edo toku wo.
26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.
Le esia teƒe boŋ la, fia la ɖe gbe be Yerameel, via ŋutsuwo dometɔ ɖeka, Seraya, Azriel ƒe vi kple Selemia, Abdeel ƒe vi, woayi aɖalé Baruk, agbalẽŋlɔla kple Yeremia, nyagblɔɖila la vɛ, ke Yehowa tsɔ wo ɣla.
27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Esi fia la tɔ dzo lãgbalẽ si dzi Baruk ŋlɔ nya siwo katã Yeremia gblɔ nɛ ɖo la, Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be:
28 "Take again another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
“Tsɔ lãgbalẽ bubu, eye nàŋlɔ nya siwo katã nɔ gbãtɔ dzi la ɖe edzi, nya siwo ke Yuda fia Yehoyakim tɔ dzoe.
29 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, 'Thus says the LORD: "You have burned this scroll, saying, 'Why have you written in it, saying, "The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal?"'"
Gawu la, gblɔ na Yuda fia Yehoyakim be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ètɔ dzo lãgbalẽ ma, hegblɔ be, “Nu ka ta nèŋlɔ ɖe edzi be Babilonia fia ava kokoko agblẽ anyigba sia eye wòatsrɔ̃ amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ɖa le edzi?”
30 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: "He shall have none to sit on the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔ ɖe Yuda fia Yehoyakim ŋutie nye si: Ame aɖeke masusɔ nɛ, si anɔ David ƒe fiazikpui dzi o, woatsɔ eƒe ŋutilã kukua aƒu gbe ɖe gota, eye ŋdɔkutsu aɖui le ŋkeke me eye ahũ aƒoe le zã me.
31 I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they did not listen."'"
Mahe to na eya kple viawo kple eƒe dɔlawo katã le woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi ta. Mahe gbegblẽ ɖe sia ɖe si megblɔ ɖi la va wo, ame siwo le Yerusalem kple Yudatɔwo dzii, elabena womeɖo to o.’”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it at the instruction of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides to them many like words.
Ale Yeremia tsɔ lãgbalẽ bubu na Neria ƒe vi, Baruk, agbalẽŋlɔla la, eye esi Yeremia le nyawo gblɔm la, Baruk ŋlɔ nya siwo katã Yuda fia, Yehoyakim tɔ dzoe le gbãtɔ dzi la ɖe edzi. Wotsɔ nya siwo le abe gbãtɔ ene la kpe ɖe nyawo ŋuti.
