< Jeremiah 25 >

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah on all [the] people of Judah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah it [was] the year first of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.
Le Yosia ƒe vi, Yehoyakim, Yuda fia ƒe ƒe enelia me si nye Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia ku ɖe Yuda dukɔ la ŋu.
2 Which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to all [the] people of Judah and to all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying.
Eya ta nyagblɔɖila Yeremia, gblɔ na Yudatɔwo katã kple ame siwo nɔ Yerusalem la be:
3 Since thir-teen year of Josiah [the] son of Amon [the] king of Judah and until - the day this this three and twenty year[s] it has come [the] word of Yahweh to me and I have spoken to you rising early and speaking and not you have listened.
Ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ sɔŋ nye esi mele nu ƒom na mi. Tso keke Amon ƒe vi Yosia, Yuda fia ƒe ƒe wuietɔ̃lia me va se ɖe fifia, Yehowa ƒe nya va nam, eye megblɔe na mi enuenu, gake mieɖo to o.
4 And he sent Yahweh to you all servants his the prophets rising early and sending and not you listened and not you inclined ear your to listen.
Togbɔ be Yehowa dɔ eƒe dɔla nyagblɔɖilawo ɖo ɖe mi zi geɖe hã la, mieɖo to alo mietsɔ ɖeke le eme na wo o.
5 Saying turn back please everyone from way his evil and from [the] wickedness of deeds your and dwell on the land which he gave Yahweh to you and to ancestors your from antiquity and until perpetuity.
Wogblɔ be, “Mitrɔ azɔ, mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, tso miaƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi kple miaƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ me, be miate ŋu anɔ anyigba si Yehowa tsɔ na mi la dzi, miawo ŋutɔ kple mia fofowo, tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
6 And may not you walk after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them and not you must provoke to anger me by [the] work of hands your and not I will do harm to you.
Migadze mawu tutɔwo yome, ahayi wo subɔ ge o. Migade ta agu na wo o, migado dziku nam kple nu siwo miaƒe asiwo wɔ la o. Ekema nyemawɔ nuvevi mi o.”
7 And not you have listened to me [the] utterance of Yahweh so as (to provoke to anger me *Q(K)*) by [the] work of hands your for harm of you.
Yehowa be, “Gake mieɖo tom o eye mietsɔ nu siwo miawo ŋutɔ ƒe asiwo wɔ la do dziku nam eye miehe vɔ̃ va mia ɖokuiwo dzii.”
8 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts because that not you have listened to words my.
Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Esi mieɖo to nye nyawo o ta la,
9 Here I [am] about to send and I will fetch all [the] clans of [the] north [the] utterance of Yahweh and to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon servant my and I will bring them on the land this and on inhabitants its and on all the nations these round about and I will totally destroy them and I will make them into a waste and into a hissing and into ruins of perpetuity.
mayɔ anyiehemetɔwo katã, kple nye dɔla Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia aƒo ƒu, woatso ɖe anyigba sia, edzinɔlawo kple dukɔ siwo katã ƒo xlãe la ŋuti. Matsrɔ̃ wo gbidigbidi, awɔ wo woanye ŋɔdzinu kple fewuɖunu, eye woazu aƒedo tegbetegbe.
10 And I will destroy from them [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride [the] sound of a hand-mill and [the] light of a lamp.
Mana dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso nu natso eye womagase ŋugbetɔ kple ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ƒe gbe alo te ƒe gbe alo woakpɔ akaɖi wòaganɔ keklẽm o.
11 And it will become all the land this a desolation a waste and they will serve the nations these [the] king of Babylon seventy year[s].
Anyigba sia katã azu aƒedo kple gbegbe eye dukɔ sia asubɔ Babilonia fia ƒe blaadre sɔŋ” Yehowae gblɔe.
12 And it will be when are completed seventy year[s] I will visit [judgment] on [the] king of Babylon and on the nation that [the] utterance of Yahweh iniquity their and on [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and I will make it into desolations of perpetuity.
Yehowa be, “Ke ne ƒe blaadre la de la, mahe to na Babilonia fia kple eƒe dukɔ, Babiloniatɔwo ɖe woƒe agɔdzedze ta eye mawɔ woƒe anyigba wòazu gbegbe tegbetegbe.
13 (And I will bring *Q(k)*) on the land that all words my which I spoke on it every [thing] written in the book this which he prophesied Jeremiah on all the nations.
Mana nu siwo katã megblɔ ɖi ɖe anyigba ma ŋuti, nu siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me kple esiwo Yeremia gblɔ ɖi ɖe dukɔwo ŋuti la nava wo dzi.
14 For they will work by them also they nations many and kings great and I will repay to them according to deed[s] their and according to [the] work of hands their.
Woawo ŋutɔ la, dukɔ geɖewo kple fia xɔŋkɔwo awɔ wo kluviwoe. Maɖo eteƒe na wo ɖe woƒe nuwɔnawo nu kple nu siwo woƒe asiwo wɔ la ta.”
15 For thus he said Yahweh [the] God of Israel to me take [the] cup of wine the rage this from hand my and you will make drink it all the nations which I [am] sending you to them.
Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ nam nye esi: “Xɔ kplu si nye dɔmedzoewain yɔ la le asinye eye nàkpee na dukɔ siwo katã gbɔ madɔ wò ɖo la.
16 And they will drink and they will stagger to and fro and they will act like mad people because of the sword which I [am] about to send between them.
Ne wonoe la, woazɔ sɔgɔsɔgɔ, eye woƒe tagbɔ atɔtɔ, le yi si maɖo ɖe wo dome la ta.”
17 And I took the cup from [the] hand of Yahweh and I made drink all the nations which he sent me Yahweh to them.
Ale mexɔ kplu la le Yehowa si eye mena dukɔ siwo katã gbɔ wòdɔm ɖo la noe.
18 Jerusalem and [the] cities of Judah and kings its officials its to make them into a ruin into a waste into a hissing and into a curse as the day this.
Ame siwo noe la woe nye Yerusalem nɔlawo, Yuda ƒe duwo, woƒe fiawo kple woƒe dumegãwo, be woagblẽ wo dome eye woazu ŋɔdzinu, fewuɖunu kple fiƒodenu abe ale si wole egbea ene.

26 And - all [the] kings of the north near and far each to brother his and all the kingdoms of the earth which [are] on [the] surface of the ground and [the] king of Sheshach he will drink after them.
Anyiehemefiawo katã, esiwo tso kpuiƒe kple didiƒe siaa. Wo katã noe ɖe wo nɔewo yome, ale fiaɖuƒe siwo katã le anyigba dzi la noe. Ne wo katã noe vɔ la, ekema Sesak fia hã anoe.
27 And you will say to them. Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel drink and become drunk and vomit and fall down and not you will rise because of the sword which I [am] about to send between you.
“Ekema gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Mino aha ne miamu, ne miaɖe xe eye miamu adze anyi be miagafɔ gbeɖe o, le yi si maɖo ɖe mia dome la ta.”’
28 And it will be that they will refuse to take the cup from hand your to drink and you will say to them thus he says Yahweh of hosts certainly you will drink.
Ke ne wogbe be yewomaxɔ kplu la le asiwò ano o la, nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔe nye esi: “Ele na mi be mianoe!”
29 For here! on the city which it is called name my on it I [am] beginning to do harm and you certainly will you be exempt from punishment? not you will be exempt from punishment for a sword I [am] calling on all [the] inhabitants of the earth [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
Kpɔ ɖa, miedze egɔme le gbegblẽ hem va du si ŋu woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo la dzi eye wò ya nèsusu be magbe tohehe na yea? Nyemagbe tohehe na wò o, elabena medɔ yi ɖe anyigbadzitɔwo katã ŋu, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.’
30 And you you will prophesy to them all the words these and you will say to them Yahweh from a high place he will roar and from [the] dwelling of holiness his he will give forth voice his certainly he will roar on habitation his a shout like [those who] tread he will sing to all [the] inhabitants of the earth.
“Azɔ gblɔ nya siawo katã ɖi ɖe wo ŋu, nàgblɔ na wo be, “Yehowa aɖe gbe tso dziƒo eye aɖe gbe tso eƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔe la. Ate gbe sesĩe ɖe eƒe anyigba ŋuti. Ado ɣli abe ame siwo le waintsetse fiam la ene eye ado ɣli ɖe anyigbadzinɔlawo katã ŋuti.
31 It has come an uproar to [the] end of the earth for a controversy [belongs] to Yahweh on the nations [is] about to enter into judgment he to all flesh the wicked [people] he has delivered up them to the sword [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Hoowɔwɔ la aɖi le anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke, elabena Yehowa atsɔ nya ɖe dukɔwo ŋu, ahe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ va amewo katã dzi eye wòatsɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ade asi na yi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
32 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts there! calamity [is] about to go forth from nation to nation and a storm great it will be roused from [the] remotest parts of [the] earth.
Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, gbegblẽ le kakam tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me. Ahom sesẽ aɖe ho tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke.”
33 And they will be [those] slain of Yahweh on the day that from [the] end of the earth and to [the] end of the earth not they will be mourned and not they will be gathered and not they will be buried dung on [the] surface of the ground they will become.
Le ɣe ma ɣi la, ame siwo Yehowa wu la akaka ɖe afi sia afi, tso anyigba ƒe go sia dzi yi go kemɛ dzi. Womafa na wo alo aƒo wo ƒu alo aɖi wo o, ke boŋ woanɔ abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene anɔ anyigba.
34 Wail O shepherds and cry out and roll in ashes O noble [ones] of the flock for they have been completed days your to slaughter and dispersions your and you will fall like a vessel of desire.
Mi alẽkplɔlawo, mifa avi, mido ɣli, mimli le ke me, mi alẽha ƒe kplɔlawo. Elabena miaƒe ɣeyiɣi de, be woawu mi, miadze anyi agbã gudugudu abe tɔmedeze ene.
35 And it will be lost a place of escape from the shepherds and escape from [the] noble [ones] of the flock.
Alẽkplɔlawo makpɔ teƒe aɖeke asi yi o, eye alẽhawo ƒe kplɔlawo manya afi si woabe ɖo o.
36 [the] sound of [the] cry of distress of The shepherds and [the] wailing of [the] noble [ones] of the flock for [is] destroying Yahweh pasture their.
Se alẽkplɔlawo ƒe aviɣli ɖa; ɖo to kplɔlawo ƒe ɣlidodo, elabena Yehowa le woƒe lãnyiƒe la tsrɔ̃m.
37 And they will be devastated [the] pastures of peace because of [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
Gbe dama nyuiwo azu kuɖiɖinyigba le Yehowa ƒe dziku dziŋɔ la ta.
38 He has left like young lion lair his for it has become land their a waste because of [the] anger of the oppressor and because of [the] burning of anger his.
Agblẽ eƒe ave ɖi abe dzata ene, eye woƒe anyigba azu gbegbe le ameteɖetola ƒe yi kple Yehowa ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ la ta.
