Jeremiah 7
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Esiae nye gbedeasi tso Yehowa gbɔ na Yeremia:
2 Stand in [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh and you will proclaim there the word this and you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah who come in the gates these to bow down to Yahweh.
“Tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe agbonu, eye tso afi ma nàɖe gbeƒã nya sia: “‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya, mi Yudatɔ siwo katã to agbo sia me yina be miasubɔ Yehowa.
3 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel make good ways your and deeds your so let me cause to dwell you in the place this.
Ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Miɖɔ miaƒe mɔwo kple miaƒe nuwɔnawo ɖo eye mana mianɔ teƒe sia.
4 May not you trust for yourselves to words of deception saying [the] temple of Yahweh [the] temple of Yahweh [are] [the] temple of Yahweh they.
Migaxɔ beblenyawo dzi se ahanɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ o!”
5 That except certainly you will make good ways your and deeds your certainly [if] you will do justice between everyone and between neighbor his.
Ne mieɖɔ miaƒe mɔwo kple miaƒe nuwɔnawo ɖo vavã eye ne mieto nyateƒe le miaƒe nuwɔnawo me kple mia nɔewo,
6 [the] sojourner [the] fatherless And [the] widow not you must oppress and blood innocent may not you shed in the place this and after gods other not you must walk for harm of you.
ne miete amedzrowo, tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo ɖe to o eye miekɔ ʋu maɖifɔ ɖi le teƒe sia o; ne miedze mawu bubuwo yome hena miawo ŋutɔ ƒe gbegblẽ o la,
7 And I will cause to dwell you in the place this in the land which I gave to ancestors your from antiquity and until perpetuity.
ekema mana mianɔ teƒe sia le anyigba si metsɔ na mia fofowo be wòanye wo tɔ tegbee la dzi.
8 Here! you [are] relying for yourselves on words of deception to not to profit.
Gake mikpɔ ɖa miele dzi ɖom ɖe beblenya siwo nye toflokowo la ŋuti.
9 ¿ Will you steal - will you murder? and will you commit adultery? and will you swear? to falsehood and will you make smoke? to Baal and will you walk? after gods other which not you have known.
“‘Ɖe miagafi fi, awu ame, awɔ ahasi, aka atam dzodzro, ado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Baal eye miadze mawu bubu siwo mienya o la yome vɔ,
10 And you will come and you will stand before me in the house this which it is called name my on it and you will say we are delivered so as to do all the abominations these.
emegbe miagava atsi tsitre ɖe ŋkunye me le aƒe sia si ŋuti woyɔ nye Ŋkɔ ɖo la me ahagblɔ be, “Míele dedie. Míele dedie,” ne miawɔ ŋunyɔnu siawo katã?
11 ¿ A den of robbers has it become the house this which it is called name my on it in view your also I here! I have seen [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Ɖe aƒe sia si ŋuti woyɔ nye Ŋkɔ ɖo la zu adzodalawo ƒe do na mia? Ke nye la, mele ekpɔm!’” Yehowae gblɔe.
12 That go please to place my which [was] in Shiloh where I caused to dwell name my there at the former [time] and see [that] which I did to it because of [the] wickedness of people my Israel.
“Mitso azɔ ne miayi ɖe Silo afi si mewɔ nɔƒe ɖo zi gbãtɔ na nye Ŋkɔ, ne miakpɔ ale si mewɔe le nye dukɔ, Israel ƒe nu tovo wɔwɔ ta.
13 And therefore because did you all the deeds these [the] utterance of Yahweh and I spoke to you rising early and speaking and not you listened and I called you and not you answered.
Yehowa be, ‘Esi mienɔ nu siawo katã wɔm la, meƒo nu na mi zi geɖe gake miesee o, meyɔ mi gake mietɔ o.
14 And I will do to the house - which it is called name my on it which you [are] trusting in it and to the place which I gave to you and to ancestors your just as I did to Shiloh.
Eya ta nu si mewɔ na Silo la, eya kee mawɔ azɔ na aƒe si ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo, gbedoxɔ si ŋuti mieɖo ŋu ɖo kple teƒe si metsɔ na mi kple mia fofowo.
15 And I will cast out you from on face my just as I cast out all relatives your all [the] offspring of Ephraim.
Manya mi ɖa tso nye ŋkume abe ale si mewɔ mia nɔvi Efraimviwo ene.’
16 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 and may not you entreat me for not I [will be] hearing you.
“Eya ta, mègado gbe ɖa ɖe dukɔ sia ta o. Mègaɖe kuku ɖe wo nu alo aƒo koko ɖe wo ta o, eye mègaƒoe ɖe nunye o, elabena nyemaɖo to wò o.
17 ¿ [are] not You seeing what? [are] they doing in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.
Mèle nu si wɔm wole le Yuda duwo me kple Yerusalem ƒe ablɔwo dzi la kpɔm oa?
18 The children [are] gathering wood and the fathers [are] kindling the fire and the women [are] kneading dough to make cakes for [the] queen of the heavens and they are pouring out drink offerings to gods other so as to provoke to anger me.
Ɖeviwo le nake fɔm, wo fofowo le dzo dom, wo dadawo le amɔ blum ne woame akpɔnɔ na Dziƒofianyɔnu. Woƒo aha ɖi na mawu bubuwo ne woatsɔ ado dziku nam.
19 ¿ Me [are] they provoking [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not themselves for [the] sake of [the] shame of faces their.
Yehowa be, ‘Nyee wole dziku dom na? Ɖe menye woawo ŋutɔ boŋue le nuvevi wɔm wo ɖokui hena woƒe ŋukpe oa?’
20 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! anger my and rage my [are] about to be poured out against the place this on humankind and on the animal[s] and on [the] tree[s] of the field and on [the] fruit of the ground and it will burn and not it will be quenched.
“Eya ta, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Woatrɔ nye dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ akɔ ɖe teƒe sia dzi, ɖe amewo kple lãwo siaa dzi, ɖe atiwo kple gbewo kple atikutsetse siwo le anyigba dzi la dzi woabi dzo eye womatsi o.’
21 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel burnt offerings your add to sacrifices your and eat meat.
“Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miyi edzi, mitsɔ miaƒe numevɔsawo kpe ɖe akpedavɔsawo ŋu eye miawo ŋutɔ miaɖu lã la.
22 For not I spoke with ancestors your and not I commanded them on [the] day (brought out I *Q(K)*) them from [the] land of Egypt on matters of burnt offering and sacrifice.
Elabena esi mekplɔ mia fofowo tso Egipte heƒo nu na wo la, nyemede se na wo tso numevɔsa kple akpedavɔsawo ko ŋu o.
23 That except the matter this I commanded them saying listen to voice my and I will become for you God and you you will become for me a people and you will walk in every way which I will command you so that it may go well for you.
Ke boŋ mede se sia na wo. Miwɔ ɖe nye gbe dzi ekema manye miaƒe Mawu eye mianye nye dukɔ. Mizɔ le mɔ siwo ƒe se mede na mi la dzi, be wòanyo na mi.
24 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they walked in counsels in [the] stubbornness of heart their evil and they were backwards and not forwards.
Gake womeɖo to alo see nam gɔ̃ hã o, ke boŋ wowɔ nu dzeaglã siwo woƒe dzi vɔ̃ɖiwo gblɔ na wo. Wote gbugbɔɖemegbezɔzɔ, eye womezɔ yi ŋgɔ o.
25 From the day when they came out ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt until the day this and I sent to you all servants my the prophets day rising early and sending.
Tso gbe si gbe mia fofowo ʋu tso Egipte va se ɖe fifia la, meɖo nye nyagblɔɖilawo ɖe mi gbe sia gbe kple ga sia ga me.
26 And not they listened to me and not they inclined ear their and they stiffened neck their they did evil more than ancestors their.
Gake womeɖo to alo see nam o. Wonye kɔlialiatɔwo, eye wowɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wu wo fofowo.’
27 And you will say to them all the words these and not they will listen to you and you will call to them and not they will answer you.
“Ne ègblɔ nu siawo katã na wo la, womaɖo to wò o. Ne èyɔ wo la, womatɔ na wò o.
28 And you will say to them this [is] the nation which not they listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God its and not they accepted correction it has perished faithfulness and it has been cut off from mouth their.
Eya ta gblɔ na wo be, ‘Esiae nye dukɔ si meɖo to Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la alo ɖoa to ɖɔɖɔɖo o. Nyateƒe tsrɔ̃, eye wòbu le woƒe nuyiwo dzi.
29 Cut off hair your and throw [it] away and take up on bare heights a lamentation for he has rejected Yahweh and he has abandoned [the] generation of fury his.
“‘Lũ ta, eye nàtsɔ ɖa la aƒu gbe. Lia to kɔkɔ ƒeƒlewo, nɔ anyi nàdzi konyifaha elabena Yehowa gbe nu le dzidzime si le eƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ te la gbɔ eye wògblee ɖi.’”
30 For they have done [the] people of Judah the evil in view my [the] utterance of Yahweh they have put detestable things their in the house which it is called name my on it to make unclean it.
“Yehowa be, ‘Yuda dukɔ wɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le ŋkunye me. Woli woƒe legba nyɔŋuwo ɖe aƒe si ŋu woyɔ nye Ŋkɔ ɖo la me hedo gui.
31 And they have built [the] high places of Topheth which [is] in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom to burn sons their and daughters their in the fire which not I commanded and not it came up on heart my.
Wotu nuxeƒewo na Tofet ɖe Ben Hinom ƒe Balime, be woatɔ dzo wo viŋutsuwo kple vinyɔnuwo le afi ma, nu si meva tame nam kaka mayi mɔ ɖe ge le eŋu na wo o.’
32 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be said again Topheth and [the] valley of Ben Hinnom that except [the] valley of slaughter and people will bury in Topheth from not room.
Eya ta Yehowa be, ‘Mikpɔ nyuie elabena ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi amewo magayɔe be Tofet alo Ben Hinom ƒe Balime o, ke boŋ woayɔe be, ku ƒe balime, elabena woaɖi ame kukuwo ɖe Tofet va se ɖe esime teƒe maganɔ anyi o.’
33 And it will become [the] corpse[s] of the people this food for [the] bird[s] of the heavens and for [the] animal[s] of the earth and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
Ekema ame kukuawo ƒe ŋutilã azu nuɖuɖu na dziƒoxewo kple lã wɔadãwo, eye ame aɖeke manɔ anyi si anya wo o.
34 And I will cause to cease - from [the] cities of Judah and from [the] streets of Jerusalem [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride for a desolation it will become the land.
Mana aseyetsotso, dzidzɔhawo, ɣlidodo ɖe ŋugbetɔ kple ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ŋu natɔ te le Yuda duwo me kple Yerusalem ƒe ablɔwo dzi, elabena anyigba la azu gbegbe.
