Jeremiah 17
1 [the] sin of Judah [is] inscribed with a stylus of iron with a point of flint [is] engraved on [the] tablet of heart their and to [the] horns of altars your.
“Wotsɔ ganuŋlɔnu kple nuŋlɔti si kpe xɔasi aɖe le nugbɔ na la ŋlɔ Yuda ƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖe woƒe dziwo ƒe nuŋlɔkpewo dzi, kple woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo ƒe dzowo ŋuti.
2 When remember children their altars their and Asherah poles their at tree[s] luxuriant on hills high.
Wo viwo gɔ̃ hã ɖo ŋku woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple aƒeli siwo le wo ŋuti le ati damawo te kple togbɛ kɔkɔwo dzi la dzi.
3 Mountain my in the field wealth your all treasures your to plunder I will give high places your for sin in all territories your.
Matsɔ nye to si le anyigba dzi, miaƒe nu xɔasiwo kple miaƒe kesinɔnuwo katã ana woaha hekpe ɖe miaƒe nuxeƒewo ŋuti le nu vɔ̃ si miewɔ le miaƒe anyigba blibo la dzi la ta.
4 And you will let fall and in you from inheritance your which I gave to you and I will make serve you enemies your in land which not you know for a fire you have kindled in anger my until perpetuity it will burn.
To miawo ŋutɔ ƒe vodada me la, miabu domenyinu siwo katã metsɔ na mi. Mana miazu kluviwo na miaƒe futɔwo le anyigba si mienya o la dzi elabena miede dzo nye dɔmedzoe me eya ta abi ɖe mia ŋuti ɖaa.”
5 Thus - he says Yahweh [is] cursed the man who he trusts in humankind and he makes flesh strength his and from Yahweh it turns aside heart his.
Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Aɖi ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe amegbetɔ dzi, hetsɔ ŋutilã wɔ eƒe ŋusẽkpɔtsoƒee eye eƒe dzi te ɖa xaa tso Yehowa gbɔ la ŋuti kpekpekpe!
6 And he will be like a bush in the desert plain and not he will see if it will come good and he will dwell parched places in the wilderness a land of saltiness and not anyone dwells.
Anɔ abe gbe le dzogbenyigba dzi ene eye ne dzɔgbenyui va la, makpɔe o. Anɔ gbegbe ƒe kuɖiɖinyigbawo dzi kple dzeƒutagba afi si ame aɖeke menɔna o.”
7 [is] blessed The man who he trusts in Yahweh and he is Yahweh trust his.
“Ke woayra ŋutsu si ɖoa dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu eye wòtsɔa eƒe dzideƒo dea Yehowa me.
8 And he will be like a tree - planted at water and [which] at a stream it sends out roots its and not (he will see *Q(K)*) if it will come heat and it will be leafage its luxuriant and in a year of drought not it will be anxious and not it will cease from producing fruit.
Eya amea anɔ abe ati si wodo ɖe tɔ to, eye wòƒo ke ɖe tɔʋu la te ene. Ne ŋdɔ le ʋuʋum sesĩe hã la, mevɔ̃na o eye eƒe aŋgbawo hã daa ama ɣe sia ɣi. Eƒe dzi metsona le kuɖiɣi o eye wòtsea ku ɖaa.”
9 [is] deceitful The heart more than everything and [is] incurable it who? will he know it.
Ame ƒe dzi nye nu si daa alakpa wu nuwo katã eye womate ŋu ayɔ dɔe o. Ame ka ate ŋu ase egɔme?
10 I Yahweh [am] searching [the] heart [am] testing [the] kidneys to give to everyone (according to ways his *Q(K)*) according to [the] fruit of deeds his.
“Nye Yehowae dzroa dziwo me, eye medoa susuwo kpɔ be maɖo eteƒe na ame sia ame ɖe eƒe zɔzɔme kple nu si eƒe nuwɔwɔwo dze na la nu.”
11 A partridge [which] it gathers a brood and not it has laid [one who] makes wealth and not with justice in [the] middle of (days his *Q(K)*) it will leave him and at end his he will be a fool.
Abe ale si koklo ƒoa azi si menye etɔ o ene la, nenemae wòanɔ na ame si ƒo kesinɔnuwo nu ƒu to mɔ fitifitiwo dzi. Kesinɔnuawo avɔ le esi le eƒe agbe me, eye le nuwuwu la, aɖee afia be yenye bometsila.
12 [is] a throne of Glory a high place from first [time] [the] place of sanctuary our.
Ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe fiazikpui si wodo ɖe dzi le gɔmedzedzea me ke lae nye teƒe si miaƒe kɔkɔeƒe la le.
13 O hope of Israel O Yahweh all [those who] forsake you they will be ashamed (and disloyal [ones] my *Q(K)*) in the land they will be written down for they have forsaken [the] spring of water living Yahweh.
O Yehowa, Israel ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ, ame siwo katã gbe wò la, ŋu akpe wo. Ame siwo trɔ le yowòme la, woaŋlɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe kewɔ me elabena wogbe nu le Yehowa, agbetsivudo la gbɔ.
14 Heal me O Yahweh so I may be healed save me so let me be saved for [are] praise my you.
Yɔ dɔm, O Yehowa eye makpɔ dɔyɔyɔ. Ɖem ekema makpɔ ɖeɖe elabena wòe mekafuna.
15 Here! they [are] saying to me where? [is] [the] word of Yahweh let it come please.
Wole biayem ɖaa be, “Afi ka Yehowa ƒe nya la le? Neva eme azɔ!”
16 And I not I have hastened - from a shepherd after you and a day incurable not I have desired you you know [the] utterance of lips my before face your it was.
Nyemesi dzo be nyemaganye wò alẽkplɔla o; ènya be ŋkeke vɔ̃ la hã medzrom o. Nu siwo katã megblɔ kple nye nu la, le ƒeƒle le ŋkuwòme.
17 May not you become to me an object of terror [are] refuge my you in a day of calamity.
Mèganye ŋɔdzinu nam o elabena wòe nye nye sitsoƒe le gbegblẽ ƒe ŋkeke la dzi.
18 Let them be put to shame pursuers my and may not I be put to shame I let them be dismayed they and may not I be dismayed I bring on them a day of calamity and double destruction destroy them.
Na ŋu nakpe yonyemetilawo, ke nye ya, ɖem tso ŋukpe me. Dzidzi neƒo wo, gake nye ya ŋɔ megadzim o. Na gbegblẽ ƒe ŋkeke la nava wo dzi eye nàgbã wo, agagbã wo ɖe edzi.
19 Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will stand in [the] gate of [the] sons of (the people *Q(K)*) which they go in it [the] kings of Judah and which they go out in it and in all [the] gates of Jerusalem.
Ale si Yehowa gblɔ nam lae nye esi: “Yi, nàtsi tsitre ɖe agbo si me dua me tɔwo kple Yuda fiawo tona dona, gagbɔna la nu. Nenema ke, nàtsi tsitre ɖe agbo bubu siwo woɖo ɖe Yerusalem dua ŋu la nu.
20 And you will say to them hear [the] word of Yahweh O kings of Judah and all Judah and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem who go in the gates these.
Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya, O Yuda fiawo kple mi Yudatɔwo katã kple mi ame siwo katã le Yerusalem, ame siwo toa agbo siawo me.’
21 Thus he says Yahweh take heed to lives your and may not you carry a burden on [the] day of the sabbath and you will bring [it] in [the] gates of Jerusalem.
Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Mikpɔ nyuie be miagatsɔ agba aɖeke le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi alo atsɔe ato Yerusalem ƒe agbowo mee o.
22 And not you must bring out a burden from houses your on [the] day of the sabbath and any work not you must do and you will set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath just as I commanded ancestors your.
Migatsɔ agba aɖeke do goe tso miaƒe aƒewo me loo alo awɔ dɔ aɖeke le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi o, ke boŋ miwɔ Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la kɔkɔe abe ale si mede see na mia fofowo la ene.
23 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they stiffened neck their to not (to listen *Q(K)*) and to not to accept correction.
Gake womeɖo to alo ƒu to anyi o. Wonye kɔlialiatɔwo eye womeɖo to alo bɔbɔ ɖe hehe te o.
24 And it will be certainly [if] you will listen! to me [the] utterance of Yahweh to not - to bring a burden in [the] gates of the city this on [the] day of the sabbath and to set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath to not to do (on it *Q(K)*) any work.
Ke Yehowa be ne miedze kɔ anyi heɖo tom, eye mietsɔ agba aɖeke to du sia ƒe agbowo me le Dzudzɔgbe dzi o, ke boŋ miewɔ Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la kɔkɔe, eye miewɔ dɔ aɖeke le edzi o la,
25 And they will come in [the] gates of the city this kings - and princes [who] sit on [the] throne of David [who] ride - in chariot[s] and on horses they and officials their everyone of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and it will remain the city this for ever.
ekema fia siwo anɔ David ƒe fiazikpui dzi la, ava to du sia ƒe agbowo me kple woƒe dumegãwo. Wo kple woƒe dumegãwo anɔ tasiaɖamwo me kple sɔwo dzi ava, Yudatɔwo kple ame siwo le Yerusalem la akplɔ wo ɖo eye du sia anye amenɔƒe tegbee.
26 And they will come from [the] cities of Judah and from round about Jerusalem and from [the] land of Benjamin and from the Shephelah and from the hill country and from the Negev [those who] bring burnt offering and sacrifice and grain offering and frankincense and [those who] bring a thank-offering [the] house of Yahweh.
Amewo ava tso Yuda duwo kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã Yerusalem la me, woava tso Benyaminyigba dzi kple ɣetoɖoƒebaliwo me, tso keke togbɛnyigbawo dzi kple gbegbenutowo me. Woatsɔ numevɔsawo, akpedavɔsawo, nuɖuvɔsawo, atike ʋeʋĩwo kple kafukafuvɔsawo ava Yehowa ƒe aƒe mee.
27 And if not you will listen to me to set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath and to not - to carry a burden and to go in [the] gates of Jerusalem on [the] day of the sabbath and I will kindle a fire in gates its and it will consume [the] fortresses of Jerusalem and not it will be extinguished.
Gake ne miegbe toɖoɖom, miewɔ Dzudzɔgbe la kɔkɔe o, mietsɔ agba to Yerusalem ƒe agbowo me le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi la, ekema mado dzo matsimatsi ɖe Yerusalem ƒe agbowo nu eye wòafia eƒe mɔ sesẽwo.’”
