< Jeremiah 11 >
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Esiae nye gbe si tso Yehowa gbɔ va na Yeremia.
2 Hear [the] words of the covenant this and you will speak them to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
“Ɖo to nubabla sia me nyawo ne nàgblɔ wo na Yudatɔwo kple ame siwo le Yerusalem.
3 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel [is] cursed the person who not he will hear [the] words of the covenant this.
Gblɔ na wo be ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Fiƒode le ame si mewɔ ɖe nubabla sia me nyawo dzi o la dzi.
4 Which I commanded ancestors your on [the] day brought out I them from [the] land of Egypt from [the] furnace of iron saying listen to voice my and you will do them according to all that I will command you and you will become for me a people and I I will become for you God.
Nya siwo ƒe se mede na mia fofowo esi mekplɔ wo do goe tso Egipte, tso galolõkpodzo me.’ Megblɔ be, ‘Miɖo tom, miwɔ nu siwo katã meɖo na mi, ekema mianye nye dukɔ eye nye hã manye miaƒe Mawu.
5 So as to carry out the oath which I swore to ancestors your to give to them a land flowing of milk and honey like the day this and I answered and I said amen - O Yahweh.
Ekema mawɔ ɖe atam si meka na mia fofowo be matsɔ anyigba si le dzidzim kple notsi kple anyitsi na wo la dzi.’ Esiae nye anyigba si dzi miele egbea.” Meɖo eŋu be, “Amen, Yehowa.”
6 And he said Yahweh to me proclaim all the words these in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem saying hear [the] words of the covenant this and you will do them.
Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Ɖe gbeƒã nya siawo katã le Yuda duwo kple Yerusalem ƒe ablɔwo dzi be ‘Miɖo to nubabla sia me nyawo ne mialé wo me ɖe asi.
7 For certainly I warned ancestors your on [the] day brought up I them from [the] land of Egypt and until the day this rising early and warning saying listen to voice my.
Tso gbe si gbe mekplɔ mia fofowo do goe tso Egipte va se ɖe egbe sia la, mexlɔ̃ nu wo zi geɖe be, “Miɖo tom.”
8 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they walked everyone in [the] stubbornness of own heart their evil and I brought on them all [the] words of the covenant this which I commanded to do and not they did.
Ke womeɖo to alo see nam o, ke boŋ wodze woƒe dzi vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe tosesẽ yome. Ale mehe fiƒode siwo katã megblɔ da ɖi ɖe nubabla la dzi dalawo ŋu la va wo dzi.’”
9 And he said Yahweh to me it has been found a conspiracy among everyone of Judah and among [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Tete Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Nugbeɖoɖo aɖe le Yudatɔwo kple Yerusalem nɔlawo dome.
10 They have returned to [the] iniquities of ancestors their former who they refused to hear words my and they they have walked after gods other to serve them they have broken [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah covenant my which I made with ancestors their.
Wotrɔ yi wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo gbɔ, ame siwo gbe nye gbe sese. Wokplɔ mawu bubuwo ɖo be yewoasubɔ wo. Israel ƒe aƒe la kple Yuda ƒe aƒe la siaa tu nubabla si mewɔ kple wo fofowo.
11 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to bring to them a calamity which not they will be able to go out from it and they will cry out to me and not I will listen to them.
Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Mahe gbegblẽ si nu womate ŋu asi le o la ava wo dzi togbɔ be woado ɣli ayɔm hã la, nyematɔ na wo o.
12 And they will go [the] cities of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and they will cry out to the gods which they [are] making smoke to them and certainly not they will deliver them at [the] time of calamity their.
Yuda ƒe duwo kple Yerusalem nɔlawo afa avi na woƒe mawu siwo wodoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na gake womate ŋu akpe ɖe wo ŋuti ne gbegblẽ siawo katã va ƒo ɖi o.
13 For [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah and [the] number of [the] streets of Jerusalem you have made altars to the shameful thing altars to make smoke to Baal.
O Yuda, wò mawuwo sɔ gbɔ abe wò duwo ene, eye nuxeƒe siwo nèɖo be yeanɔ dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ dom na ŋukpenamawu, Baal la sɔ gbɔ abe Yerusalem ƒe ablɔwo ene.’
14 And you may not you pray for the people this and may not you lift up for them a cry of entreaty and a prayer for not I [will be] listening at [the] time call out they to me for calamity their.
“Mègado gbe ɖa ɖe ame siawo ta o, mègaɖe kuku ɖe wo nu o, eye mègabia naneke na wo o, elabena ne woyɔm le xaxaɣi la, nyemaɖo to wo o.
15 What? to beloved [one] my in house my doing it plan the many [people] and flesh of holiness they will pass away from on you for wickedness your then you will rejoice.
“Nu ka wɔm nye lɔlɔ̃tɔ le le nye gbedoxɔ la me, le esime wowɔ nu tovowo kple ame geɖewo? Ɖe wò vɔsalã kɔkɔewo ate ŋu aɖe wò le tohehe mea? Elabena ne èle nu tovowo wɔm la, dzi nɔa dzɔwòm.”
16 An olive tree luxuriant beautiful of fruit of form he called Yahweh name your to [the] sound of - a rainstorm great he has kindled a fire on it and they are bad branches its.
Yehowa na ŋkɔ wò be amiti dama si dzi kutsetse nyuiwo le. Gake le gbeɖeɖe aɖe abe ahom sesẽ ene me la, ana dzo afiae eye eƒe alɔdzewo hã afia keŋkeŋ.
17 And Yahweh of hosts who planted you he has spoken on you evil on account of [the] evil of [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah which they have done for themselves to provoke to anger me by making smoke to Baal.
Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ame si li ke wò la ɖo gbegblẽ ɖe ŋuwò elabena Israel ƒe aƒe kple Yuda ƒe aƒe wɔ vɔ̃ eye wodo dziku nɛ le ale si wodo dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Baal la ta.
18 And Yahweh he made known to me and I knew! then you showed me deeds their.
Esime Yehowa ɖe woƒe nugbeɖoɖowo fiam la, menyae, elabena le ɣe ma yi la, efia nu siwo wɔm wonɔ lam.
19 And I [had been] like a lamb a tame one [which] it is led to slaughter and not I knew that on me - they had planned plans let us destroy [the] tree with bread its and let us cut off him from [the] land of [the] living and name his not may it be remembered again.
Menɔ abe alẽvi si wokplɔ yina wuwu ge la ene; nyemekpɔe dze sii be woɖo nugbe ɖe ŋutinye le gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míagblẽ ati la kple eƒe kutsetse, mina míaɖee ɖa le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi, ale be womagaɖo ŋku eƒe ŋkɔ dzi gbeɖegbeɖe o.”
20 And O Yahweh of hosts [who] judges righteousness [who] tests kidneys and heart let me see vengeance your from them for to you I have made known case my.
Ke, O Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, wò ame si drɔ̃a ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe, doa dzi kple tamesusu kpɔ la, na makpɔ wò hlɔ̃biabia si le wo dzi va ge elabena asiwò me metsɔ nye nya dee.
21 Therefore thus he says Yahweh on [the] people of Anathoth who are seeking life your saying not you must prophesy in [the] name of Yahweh and not you will die by hand our.
“Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔ tso Anatɔt ŋutsuwo, ame siwo le wò agbe yome tim eye wole gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Mègagblɔ nya ɖi le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me o, ne menye nenema o la, míawu wò.’
22 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to visit [judgment] on them the young men they will die by the sword sons their and daughters their they will die by famine.
Le esia ta, ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Mahe to na wo. Woƒe ɖekakpuiwo atsi yi nu, dɔwuame atsrɔ̃ wo viŋutsuwo kple vinyɔnuwo.
23 And a remnant not it will belong to them for I will bring calamity to [the] people of Anathoth [the] year of punishment their.
Ame aɖeke masusɔ o, elabena mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e gã aɖe ada ɖe Anatɔt ŋutsuwo dzi le ƒe si meɖo be mahe to na wo la me.’”
