< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh (in the year *Q(K)*) tenth of Zedekiah [the] king of Judah that [was] the year eight-teen year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si va na Yeremia le Yuda fia Zedekia ƒe ƒe ewolia me eye wòganye Nebukadnezar ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me.
2 And then [the] army of [the] king of Babylon [were] laying siege on Jerusalem and Jeremiah the prophet he was shut up in [the] courtyard of the guard which [was] [the] house of [the] king of Judah.
Babilonia fia ƒe aʋakɔwo ɖe to ɖe Yerusalem eye wolé Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia de gae ɖe xɔxɔnu si dzɔlawo nɔna le Yuda fia ƒe fiasã me.
3 Where he had shut up him Zedekiah [the] king of Judah saying why? [are] you prophesying saying thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give the city this in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
Azɔ Yuda fia Zedekia de gae ɖe afi ma hegblɔ nɛ be, “Nu ka ta nèle nya gblɔm ɖi alea ɖo? Egblɔ be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Matsɔ du sia ade asi na Babilonia fia, eye wòaxɔe.
4 And Zedekiah [the] king of Judah not he will escape from [the] hand of the Chaldeans for certainly he will be given in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and it will speak mouth his with mouth his and eyes his (eyes his *Q(K)*) they will see.
Yuda fia Zedekia mado le Babiloniatɔwo ƒe asi me o, ke boŋ woalée ade asi na Babilonia fia, aƒo nu kplii ŋkume kple ŋkume, eye wòakpɔe kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkuwo.
5 And Babylon he will take Zedekiah and there he will be until give attention to I him [the] utterance of Yahweh if you will fight with the Chaldeans not you will succeed.
Akplɔ Zedekia ayi ɖe Babilonia, afi si wòanɔ va se ɖe esime matu nu kplii Yehowae gblɔe. Ne èwɔ aʋa kple Babiloniatɔwo la, màɖu wo dzi o.’”
6 And he said Jeremiah it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Yeremia ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe nya va gblɔe nam be,
7 Here! Hanamel [the] son of Shallum uncle your [is] about to come to you saying buy for yourself field my which [is] at Anathoth for [belongs] to you [the] right of redemption to buy [it].
‘Tɔwòɖia, Salum, ƒe vi Hanamel ava gbɔwò agblɔ na wò be, “Ƒle nye agble si le Anatɔt elabena, abe ƒonyemetɔ kpamkpam ene la, enye wò gome kple dɔdeasi be nàƒlee?”’
8 And he came to me Hanamel [the] son of uncle my according to [the] word of Yahweh to [the] courtyard of the guard and he said to me buy please field my which [is] at Anathoth which - [is] in [the] land of Benjamin for [belongs] to you [the] right of possession and [belongs] to you the redemption buy [it] for yourself and I knew that [was] [the] word of Yahweh it.
“Tete abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe ene la, tɔnyeɖia ƒe vi, Hanamel va gbɔnye le dzɔlawo ƒe xɔxɔnu, eye wògblɔ nam be, ‘Ƒle nye agble si le Anatɔt le Benyaminyigba dzi. Esi wònye wò domenyinu wònye be nàxɔe eye wòanye tɔwò ta la, ƒlee na ɖokuiwò.’ “Menyae be esia nye gbe tso Yehowa gbɔ,
9 And I bought the field from with Hanamel [the] son of uncle my which [was] at Anathoth and I weighed out! for him the silver [was] seven shekels and ten the silver.
eya ta meƒle agble si le Anatɔt la le tɔnyeɖia ƒe vi, Hanamel si heda klosaloga gram alafa eve tsɔ nɛ.
10 And I wrote on the document and I sealed [it] and I caused to witness [it] witnesses and I weighed out the silver on scales.
Mede asi anyigbaƒlegblalẽ la te hetre enu, hena ɖasefowo hã de asi ete eye meda klosaloga la le nudanu me.
11 And I took [the] document of the purchase the sealed [one] the order and the conditions and the uncovered [one].
Mexɔ anyigbaƒlegbalẽ la, esi nu wotre, eye ɖoɖo si dzi woƒle agblea ɖo la le eme, hekpe ɖe esi nu wometre o la ŋuti.
12 And I gave the document the purchase to Baruch [the] son of Neriah [the] son of Mahseiah to [the] eyes of Hanamel uncle my and to [the] eyes of the witnesses who wrote on [the] document of the purchase to [the] eyes of all the Jews who were sitting in [the] courtyard of the guard.

13 And I commanded Baruch to eyes their saying.
“Le woƒe ŋkume mede se siawo na Baruk.
14 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel take the documents these [the] document of the purchase this and the sealed [one] and [the] document uncovered this and you will put them in a vessel of earthenware so that they may remain days many.
‘Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Tsɔ agbalẽ siawo, anyigbaƒlegbalẽ si nu wotre kple esi le ʋuʋu la siaa de ze me ne woanɔ anyi eteƒe nadidi.
15 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel again they will be bought houses and fields and vineyards in the land this.
Elabena ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Woagaƒle aƒewo, agbledenyigbawo kple waingblewo le anyigba sia dzi.”’
16 And I prayed to Yahweh after gave I [the] document of the purchase to Baruch [the] son of Neriah saying.
“Esi metsɔ anyigbaƒlegbalẽ la na Neria ƒe vi, Baruk vɔ la, medo gbe ɖa na Yehowa gblɔ be:
17 Alas! O Lord Yahweh there! - you you made the heavens and the earth by strength your great and by arm your outstretched not it is [too] difficult for you any thing.
“O, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, wòe tsɔ wò ŋusẽ triakɔ kple wò abɔ si le dzi la wɔ dziƒo kple anyigbae. Naneke mesesẽ na wò akpa o.

20 Who you performed signs and wonders in [the] land of Egypt until the day this and in Israel and among humankind and you have made for yourself a name as the day this.
Èwɔ dzesi gãwo kple nukunu triakɔwo le Egiptenyigba dzi eye nègale wo wɔwɔ dzi va se ɖe egbe sia, le Israel kple amegbetɔwo katã dome eye nèxɔ ŋkɔ gã na ɖokuiwò esi nye tɔwò va se ɖe fifia.
21 And you brought out people your Israel from [the] land of Egypt by signs and by wonders and by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with terror great.
Èkplɔ wò dukɔ, Israel, do goe le Egipte kple dzesiwo, nukunuwo, alɔ sesẽ kple abɔ si le dzi kple ŋɔdzi gã.
22 And you gave to them the land this which you had sworn to ancestors their to give to them a land flowing of milk and honey.
Ètsɔ anyigba sia, si nèka atam be yeatsɔ ana wo fofowo la na wo, anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo fũu.
23 And they came and they took possession of it and not they listened to voice your (and in law your *Q(K)*) not they walked all that you had commanded to them to do not they did and you have caused to happen to them all the calamity this.
Woge ɖe anyigba la dzi hexɔe gake womeɖo to wò alo wɔ wò seawo dzi o. Womewɔ nu siwo ƒe se nède na wo be woawɔ la o, eya tae nèhe gbegblẽ sia katã va wo dzii ɖo.
24 There! the mounds they have come the city to capture it and the city it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting on it because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence and [that] which you spoke it has happened and there you [are] seeing [it].
“Kpɔ ale si woƒu kpo ɖe dua ŋutii be woaxɔe ɖa. Le yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ ta la, woatsɔ du la ade asi na Babiloniatɔ siwo ɖe to ɖee. Nu si nègblɔ la va eme abe ale si nèle ekpɔmii fifia ene.
25 And you you have said to me O Lord Yahweh buy for yourself the field with silver and cause to witness [it] witnesses and the city it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.
Togbɔ be woatsɔ du la ade asi na Babiloniatɔwo hã la, O, wò Aƒetɔ Yehowa, ègblɔ nam be, ‘Tsɔ klosaloga nàƒle agbledenyigbae eye nàna ɖasefowo nakpɔ eƒleƒe.’”
26 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah saying.
Tete Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,
27 Here! I [am] Yahweh [the] God of all flesh ¿ for me is it [too] difficult any thing.
“Nyee nye Yehowa, amegbetɔwo katã ƒe Mawu. Ɖe nane sesẽ nam akpa?
28 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give the city this in [the] hand of the Chaldeans and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Matsɔ du sia ade asi na Babiloniatɔwo kple Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar, be woaxɔe.
29 And they will come the Chaldeans who are fighting on the city this and they will set on fire the city this with fire and they will burn it and the houses which people made smoke on roofs their to Baal and they poured out drink offerings to gods other so as to provoke to anger me.
Babiloniatɔ siwo ɖe to ɖe du sia la age ɖe eme atɔ dzoe. Woana wòabi azu afi, hekpe ɖe aƒe siwo tame wodoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Baal le eye woƒoa aha ɖi na mawu tutɔwo le, ne woatsɔ ado dziku nam la ŋuti.
30 For they have been [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah only doing the evil in view my since youth their for [the] people of Israel only [are] provoking to anger me by [the] work of hands their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“Tso Israelviwo kple Yudatɔwo ƒe ɖekakpuime ke la, womewɔ naneke wu nu vɔ̃ɖi le ŋkunye me o. Le nyateƒe me la, Israelviwo mewɔ naneke wu be woado dziku nam kple nu si woƒe asi wɔ la, o.” Yehowae gblɔe.
31 That on anger my and on rage my it has been to me the city this from the day when they built it and until the day this to remove it from on face my.
Tso gbe si gbe ke wotso du sia va se ɖe fifia la, du sia do dziku kple dɔmedzoe nam ale gbegbe be ele nam be maɖee ɖa le nye ŋkuta.
32 On all [the] evil of [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah which they have done to provoke to anger me they kings their officials their priests their and prophets their and everyone of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Israelviwo kple Yudatɔwo tsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo katã wowɔ la do dziku nam, woawo ŋutɔwo ƒe fiawo, woƒe dumegãwo, woƒe nunɔlawo, woƒe nyagblɔɖilawo, Yuda ŋutsuwo kple Yerusalemtɔwo siaa.
33 And they turned to me a back and not a face and I taught them rising early and teaching and not they [were] listening to accept correction.
Wotrɔ woƒe ʋu me dem, menye woƒe ŋkume o. Togbɔ be mefia nu wo atraɖii hã la, womeɖo to alo trɔ ɖe amehehe ŋuti o.
34 And they put detestable things their in the house which it was called name my on it to make unclean it.
Wotsɔ woƒe legba nyɔŋuawo ɖo aƒe si ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo la me eye wodo gui.
35 And they built [the] high places of Baal which - [are] in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom to make pass through sons their and daughters their to Molech which not I had commanded them and not it had come up on heart my to do the abomination this so as (to cause to sin *Q(k)*) Judah.
Wotu nuxeƒewo na Baal le Ben Hinom ƒe Balime, ne woatsɔ wo viŋutsuviwo kple wo vinyɔnuviwo asa vɔe na Molek, evɔ nyemeɖo nu sia na wo gbeɖegbeɖe alo wòayi nye ta me va ge, be woawɔ ŋunyɔnu sia eye woakplɔ Yuda ade nu vɔ̃ me o.
36 And now therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel concerning the city this which - you [are] saying it has been given in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon by the sword and by famine and by pestilence.
Miele gbɔgblɔm le du sia ŋuti be, “To yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ me, woatsɔ du la ade asi na Babilonia fia,” gake ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi:
37 Here I [will be] gathering them from all the lands where I have banished them there in anger my and in rage my and in wrath great and I will bring back them to the place this and I will cause to dwell them to security.
“Le nyateƒe me la, maƒo wo nu ƒu tso anyigba siwo katã dzi menya wo ɖo ɖo le nye dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ la me. Matrɔ wo agbɔe va teƒe sia eye mana woanɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me.
38 And they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
Woanye nye dukɔ eye nye hã manye woƒe Mawu.
39 And I will give to them a heart one and a way one to fear me all the days for good for them and for children their after them.

40 And I will make to them a covenant of perpetuity which not I will turn back from after them to do good to I them and fear my I will put in heart their to not to turn aside from with me.
Mabla nu mavɔ kpli wo, nyemadzudzɔ nyuiwɔwɔ na wo o eye made dzi ƒo na wo be woavɔ̃m, ale be womagatrɔ le yonyeme akpɔ o.
41 And I will rejoice on them to do good to them and I will plant them in the land this in faithfulness with all heart my and with all being my.
Matsɔ dzidzɔ awɔ nyui na wo eye matsɔ nye dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo ali ke wo kple kakaɖedzi ɖe anyigba sia dzi.
42 For thus he says Yahweh just as I have brought to the people this all the calamity great this so I [will] bring on them all the good which I [am] speaking to them.
“Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Abe ale si mehe dzɔgbevɔ̃e gã sia va ame siawo dzii ene la, nenema kee matsɔ dzidzedzekpɔkpɔ si ŋugbe medo na wo la hã ana wo.
43 And it will be bought the field in the land this which - you [are] saying [is] a desolation it from not human being and an animal it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.

44 Fields for silver people will buy and they will write on the document - and they will seal [it] and cause to witness [it] witnesses in [the] land of Benjamin and in [the] surroundings of Jerusalem and in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] cities of the hill country and in [the] cities of the Shephelah and in [the] cities of the Negev for I will turn back captivity their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
