Yeremia 12
1 Oo, Yehowa, ne metsɔ nya ɖe ŋutiwò la, wò nya dzɔna ɣe sia ɣi. Gake mahe nya kpli wò tso wò ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ŋuti. Nu ka ta ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔ dzea edzi na wo ɖo? Nu ka ta dzimaxɔsetɔwo nɔa agbe le dziɖeɖi me?
Forsothe, Lord, thou art iust; if Y dispute with thee, netheles Y schal speke iust thingis to thee. Whi hath the weie of wickid men prosperite? It is wel to alle men that breken the lawe, and doen wickidli?
2 Èdo wo, woto ke eye wotsi hetse ku. Wò ŋkɔ le nu na wo gake woƒe dziwo le adzɔge tso gbɔwò.
Thou hast plauntid hem, and thei senten roote; thei encreessen, and maken fruyt; thou art niy to the mouth of hem, and fer fro the reynes of hem.
3 Oo, Yehowa, ke wò la ènyam, èkpɔm eye nèdo nye susuwo kpɔ tso ŋutiwò. Eya ta he wo abe alẽwo ene nàkplɔ yi wuwuƒee! Ɖe wo ɖe aga hena wuwuŋkeke la!
And thou, Lord, hast knowe me, thou hast seyn me, and hast preued myn herte with thee. Gadere thou hem togidere as a flok to slayn sacrifice, and halewe thou hem in the dai of sleyng.
4 Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie ku naɖi le anyigba dzi eye gbewo naƒu ase ɖo? Esi edzinɔlawo nye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ta la, xewo kple lãwo siaa tsrɔ̃. Gawu la, amewo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Makpɔ nu si dzɔ ɖe mía dzi o.”
Hou long schal the erthe mourne, and ech eerbe of the feeld schal be dried, for the malice of hem that dwellen ther ynne? A beeste is wastid, and a brid, for thei seiden, The Lord schal not se oure laste thingis.
5 “Ne èke duɖime kple amegbetɔwo kple afɔ eye nu te ŋuwò la, aleke nàte ŋu ake duɖime kple sɔwo? Ne èle nu klim le anyigba si dzi kɔ nyuie dzi la, aleke nàhawɔ le Yɔdan ƒe avekawo me?
If thou trauelist rennynge with foot men, hou schalt thou mow stryue with horsis? but whanne thou art sikur in the lond of pees, what schalt thou do in the pride of Jordan?
6 Nɔviwò kple wò ŋutɔ wò ƒometɔwo gɔ̃ hã de wò asi eye wodo ɣli sesĩe ɖe tawò. Togbɔ be woƒo nu nyuie le ŋutiwò hã la, mègaɖo dzi ɖe wo ŋu o.
For whi bothe thi britheren and the hous of thi fadir, yhe, thei fouyten ayens thee, and crieden with ful vois aftir thee; bileue thou not to hem, whanne thei speken goodis to thee.
7 “Magbe nu le nye aƒe gbɔ eye magble nye domenyinu ɖi. Matsɔ ame si melɔ̃ la ade asi na eƒe futɔwo.
I haue left myn hous, Y haue forsake myn eritage; Y yaf my loued soule in to the hondis of enemyes therof.
8 Nye domenyinu va le nam abe dzata si le ave me ene. Ele gbe tem ɖe ŋutinye, eya ta melé fui ɖo.
Myn eritage is maad as a lioun in the wode to me; it yaf vois ayens me, therfor Y hate it.
9 Ɖe nye domenyinu mezu xeƒonu ŋɔŋɔe si xeƒonu bubuwo ƒo xlãe eye wodze edzi oa? Yi nàƒo lã wɔadãwo katã nu ƒu vɛ ne woava vuvu nu.
Whether myn eritage is a brid of dyuerse colours to me? whether it is a brid died thorou out? Alle beestis of the feeld, come ye, be ye gaderid togidere; haste ye for to deuoure.
10 Alẽkplɔla geɖewo agblẽ nye waingble eye woanye avuzi le nye agble dzi. Wole nye agble veviwo wɔ ge woazu gbegbe ɖeɖe sɔŋ.
Many scheepherdis distrieden my vyner, defouliden my part, yauen my desirable porcioun in to desert of wildirnesse;
11 Wole ewɔ ge wòazu gbegbe kple kuɖiɖinyigba si manyo na naneke le ŋkunye me o. Anyigba la katã azu aƒedo elabena ame aɖeke manɔ anyi si atsɔ ɖe le eme o.
thei settiden it in to scateryng, and it mourenyde on me; al the lond is desolat bi desolacioun, for noon is that ayenthenkith in herte.
12 Nugblẽlawo ava ƒo ɖe to ƒuƒluwo dzi le gbedzi elabena Yehowa ƒe yi agblẽ nu tso anyigba ƒe go sia dzi ayi ekemɛ dzi eye ame aɖeke mato le eme o.
Alle distrieris of the lond camen on alle the weies of desert, for the swerd of the Lord schal deuoure fro the laste part of the lond `til to the laste part therof; no pees is to al fleisch.
13 Woaƒã ƒo gake woaxa ŋu, woaku kutri gake womakpɔ naneke tso eme o. Eya ta, nuku siwo miexa la nakpe ŋu na mi le Yehowa ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ la ta.”
Thei sowiden wheete, and repiden thornes; thei token erytage, and it schal not profite to hem. Ye schulen be schent of youre fruytis, for the wraththe of the stronge veniaunce of the Lord.
14 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye si, “Ke hena nye aƒelika vɔ̃ɖi siwo xɔ domenyinu si metsɔ na nye dukɔ Israel sesẽtɔe la, maho wo le woƒe anyigbawo dzi eye maho Yuda ƒe aƒe la le wo dome.
The Lord seith these thingis ayens alle my worst neiyboris, that touchen the eritage which Y departide to my puple Israel, Lo! Y schal drawe hem out of her lond, and Y schal drawe the hous of Juda out of the myddis of hem.
15 Ne meho wo vɔ la, magakpɔ nublanui na wo, eye makplɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe va eƒe domenyinu gbɔ kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
And whanne Y schal drawe out thilke Jewis, Y schal conuerte, and haue merci on hem; and Y schal lede hem ayen, a man to his eritage, and a man in to his lond.
16 Ne wosrɔ̃ nye dukɔ ƒe mɔwo nyuie abe ale si woawo hã fia nye dukɔe be woayɔ Baal ata nui, eye wota nye ŋkɔ hegblɔ be, ‘Zi ale si Yehowa le agbe’ ene la, ekema maɖo wo te le nye dukɔ la dome.
And it schal be, if thei `that ben tauyt lernen the weies of my puple, that thei swere in my name, The Lord lyueth, as thei tauyten my puple to swere in Baal, thei schulen be bildid in the myddis of my puple.
17 Ke ne dukɔ aɖe meɖo to o la, mahoe keŋkeŋ, eye matsrɔ̃e gbidii.” Yehowae gblɔe.
That if thei heren not, Y schal drawe out that folk by drawyng out and perdicioun, seith the Lord.
