Yeremia 14
1 Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe nya na Yeremia tso kuɖiɖi ŋuti.
Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya mayelana lokoma elizweni lisithi:
2 “Yuda le nu xam, eƒe duwo le fukpekpe me, wole avi fam le anyigba la ta eye Yerusalem ƒe ɣli le dzi dem.
“UJuda uyalila, amadolobho akhe ayahlupheka; alilela ilizwe, njalo isililo siyaqonga sivela eJerusalema.
3 Bubumewo dɔa woƒe dɔlawo ɖe tsikuƒe; woyina ɖe vudowo to, gake womekpɔa tsi le wo me o. Wotrɔna gbɔna kple ze ƒuƒluwo, ŋu kpea wo, wobua mɔkpɔkpɔ eye wotsɔa nu tsyɔa ta.
Izikhulu zithuma izinceku zazo ukuyafuna amanzi; ziya emithonjeni kodwa zifice amanzi engekho. Ziyabuyela lemigqomo yazo ingelalutho; zithithibele njalo zidanile, zemboze amakhanda azo.
4 Anyigba la katã wo gblogblogblo, elabena tsi mele dzadzam ɖe edzi o; agbledelawo ƒe mo tsi dãa, eye wotsyɔ nu ta.
Umhlabathi uqhekezekile ngoba akulazulu elizweni; abalimi bathithibele njalo bemboze amakhanda abo.
5 Fɔmizi le gbe me gɔ̃ hã gblẽa via ɖi elabena gbe mumu meli o.
Lenyamazana ensikazi egangeni iyabalekela inkonyane layo elizelweyo ngoba akulatshani.
6 Gbetedziwo tsia tsitre ɖe to ƒuƒluwo dzi henɔa ya nom abe amegaxiwo ene. Woƒe ŋkuwo dzi tsyɔna elabena gbeɖuƒe aɖeke megali o.”
Obabhemi beganga bema emiqolweni elugwadule bakhefuzele njengamakhanka; amehlo abo asefiphele ngenxa yokuswela amadlelo.”
7 O Yehowa, togbɔ be míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo le ɖase ɖim tso mía ŋuti hã la, wɔ nane le wò ŋkɔ la ta, elabena míaƒe megbedede sɔ gbɔ, eye míewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutiwò.
Lanxa izono zethu zifakaza kubi ngathi, Oh Thixo, ake wenze okunye ngenxa yebizo lakho. Ngoba ukuhlehlela kwethu emuva kunengi; sonile kuwe.
8 O Israel ƒe Mɔkpɔkpɔ, eƒe Ɖela le xaxawo me; nu ka ta nèle abe amedzro ene le anyigba dzi, eye abe mɔzɔla si va anyi tsi ge ŋkeke ɖeka ko ene?
Oh Themba lika-Israyeli, uMhlengi wakhe ezikhathini zokuhlupheka, kungani usiba njengowezizweni elizweni, njengesihambi esihlala ubusuku obubodwa kuphela?
9 Aleke nèle abe ame si nane wɔ nuku na alo kalẽtɔ si ƒe ŋusẽ vɔ, eye mate ŋu axɔ na ame o la ene? O Yehowa, èle mía dome, eye wò ŋkɔ le mía ŋu eya ta mègagblẽ mi ɖi o!
Kungani usiba njengomuntu ojunyiweyo, lanjengebutho elingelamandla okusiza na? Ukhona phakathi kwethu, wena Thixo, njalo sibizwa ngebizo lakho; ungasilahli!
10 Ale Yehowa gblɔ tso dukɔ sia ŋutie nye esi: “Wolɔ̃a tsaglalãtsatsa vivivo; woƒe afɔwo menɔa teƒe ɖeka o, eya ta Yehowa mexɔ wo o. Azɔ la, àɖo ŋku woƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ dzi, eye woahe to na wo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.”
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ngalababantu: “Bayakuthanda kakhulu ukuntula; kabazibambi inyawo zabo. Ngakho uThixo kayikubamukela; khathesi uzakhumbula ububi babo abajezisele izono zabo.”
11 Tete Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mègado gbe ɖa be eme nanyo na dukɔ sia o.
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Ungakhulekeli inhlalakahle yabantu laba.
12 Nenye be wotsi nu dɔ hã la, nyemaɖo to woƒe ɣlidodo o. Nenye be wotsɔ numevɔsa kple nuɖuvɔsawo vɛ hã la, nyemaxɔ wo o, ke boŋ matsrɔ̃ wo kple yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃.”
Lanxa bezila ukudla, ukukhala kwabo angiyikukulalela; loba benikela iminikelo yokutshiswa kanye leminikelo yamabele, angiyikuyamukela. Esikhundleni salokho, ngizabaqeda du ngenkemba, ngendlala langezifo.”
13 Ke megblɔ be, “O Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Nyagblɔɖilawo le gbɔgblɔm na wo be, ‘Miakpɔ yi loo alo dɔwuame o. Le nyateƒe me, mana miakpɔ ŋutifafa mavɔ le teƒe sia.’”
Kodwa mina ngathi, “Awu Thixo Wobukhosi, abaphrofethi bahlezi bebatshela besithi, ‘Kaliyikubona inkemba loba libulawe yindlala. Impela, ngizalipha ukuthula okungapheliyo kule indawo.’”
14 Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Nyagblɔɖilawo le aʋatsonyawo gblɔm le nye ŋkɔ me. Nyemedɔ wo alo ɖo wo alo ƒo nu na wo o. Wole alakpaŋutega, afakaka, trɔ̃subɔsubɔ kple beble siwo woƒe susuwo gblɔ na wo la gblɔm.
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Abaphrofethi baphrofetha amanga ngebizo lami. Angibathumanga njalo angibakhethanga kumbe ngikhulume labo. Baphrofetha imibono yamanga kini, ukuhlahlula, ukukhonza izithombe lenkohliso yezingqondo zabo.
15 Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔ le nyagblɔɖila siwo le nya gblɔm ɖi le nye ŋkɔ me la ŋu. Nyemedɔ wo o, gake wole gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Yi alo dɔwuame atsrɔ̃ wo
Ngakho-ke, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ngabaphrofethi abaphrofetha ngebizo lami ukuthi: Kangizange ngibathume, kodwa bona bathi, ‘Akulankemba kumbe indlala ezathinta ilizwe leli.’ Bona labo abaphrofethi bazabhujiswa ngenkemba langendlala.
16 eye ame siwo wole nya gblɔm ɖi na la, woatsɔ wo akaka ɖe Yerusalem ƒe ablɔwo dzi le yi kple dɔwuame ta. Ame aɖeke manɔ anyi si aɖi woawo ŋutɔwo alo wo srɔ̃nyɔnuwo, wo viŋutsuwo kple wo vinyɔnuwo o. Matrɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e si dze na wo la, akɔ ɖe wo dzi.’
Abantu abaphrofetha kubo bazaphoselwa phandle emigwaqweni yaseJerusalema ngenxa yendlala lenkemba. Akulamuntu ozabangcwaba kumbe omkabo, amadodana abo loba amadodakazi abo. Ngizabehlisela ingozi ebafaneleyo.
17 “Gblɔ nya sia na wo be, “‘Na be aɖatsi nasi tso nye ŋkuwo me zã kple keli madzudzɔmadzudzɔe elabena vinyenyɔnu si menya ŋutsu o, ame si nye dukɔ la, xɔ abi vevie le esi wogbãe ta.
Khuluma ilizwi leli kubo uthi: ‘Amehlo ami kawehlise inyembezi ebusuku lemini zingomi; ngoba indodakazi yami egcweleyo, labantu bami balimele kakhulu, balinyazwe yikutshaywa okwesabekayo.
18 Ne meyi ɖe gbedzi la, mekpɔa ame siwo wowu kple yi la ƒe ŋutilã kukuawo. Ne mege ɖe dua me la, mekpɔa nu si gblẽm dɔwuame le. Nyagblɔɖilawo kple nunɔlawo siaa yi ɖe anyigba si womenya o la dzi.’
Nxa ngingena elizweni, ngibona labo ababulawa ngenkemba; nxa ngingena edolobheni ngibona umonakalo owenziwa yindlala. Bobabili umphrofethi lomphristi sebeye elizweni abangalaziyo.’”
19 “Ɖe nègbe Yuda gbidiia? Ɖe wò dzi megaku ɖe Zion ŋu oa? Nu ka ta nède abi mía ŋuti ale gbegbe be míate ŋu akpɔ dɔyɔyɔ o? Míekpɔ mɔ na ŋutifafa gake nu nyui aɖeke meva na mí o. Míekpɔ mɔ na dɔyɔyɔ, ke ŋɔdzi boŋue li.
UJuda usumlahle kokuphela na? IZiyoni uyaleyisa na? Usitshayeleni kangaka size singelapheki na? Sasilindele ukuthula kodwa akulabuhle obaba khona, isikhathi sokwelatshwa kodwa kulokwesaba kuphela.
20 O Yehowa, míedze si míaƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ kple mía fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo. Vavãe míewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutiwò.
Awu Thixo, siyakuvuma ukona kwethu kanye lokona kwabokhokho bethu; impela sonile kuwe.
21 Le wò ŋkɔ la ta, mègaɖe kɔ ɖa le mía ŋu o; mègaɖe bubu le wò ŋutikɔkɔefiazikpui la ŋuti o. Ɖo ŋku nu si nèbla kpli mí la dzi eye mègatui o.
Ngenxa yebizo lakho ungasenyanyi; ungasigconi isihlalo sakho sobukhosi esihle kakhulu. Khumbula isivumelwano sakho lathi ungasephuli.
22 Ɖe dukɔwo ƒe legba maɖinuwo dometɔ aɖe na tsi dza kpɔa? Lilikpowo ŋutɔe dzaa tsia? Ao, O Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, wòe wɔnɛ. Eya ta míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ le dziwò, elabena wòe wɔa esiawo katã.”
Zikhona yini izithombe eziyize zezizwe ezinganisa izulu na? Imikhathi yona ngokwayo iyalinisa izulu na? Hatshi, nguwe, Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu. Ngakho ithemba lethu likuwe, ngoba nguwe owenza konke lokhu.
