Yeremia 16
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
2 “Mègaɖe srɔ̃ be nàdzi ŋutsuviwo kple nyɔnuviwo ɖe teƒe sia o”
“Ungathathi mfazi ube lamadodana loba amadodakazi kule indawo.”
3 Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔ tso ŋutsuvi kple nyɔnuvi siwo wodzi ɖe anyigba sia dzi, wo dadawo kple wo fofowo ŋutie nye esi:
Ngoba mayelana lamadodana lamadodakazi azalelwe kulelilizwe kanye labesifazane abangonina lamadoda angoyise uThixo uthi:
4 “Dɔ vɔ̃wo ava wu wo, womafa na wo alo aɖi wo o, ke boŋ woanɔ abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene le anyigba. Woatsrɔ̃ le yi kple dɔwuame ta, eye woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo anye nuɖuɖu na dziƒoxeviwo kple lã wɔadã siwo le anyigba dzi.”
“Bazakufa bebulawa yimikhuhlane eyesabekayo. Kabayikukhalelwa loba bangcwatshwe, kodwa bazakuba njengezibi emhlabathini. Bazabhubha ngenkemba langendlala, njalo izidumbu zabo zizakuba yikudla kwezinyoni zasemoyeni lezinyamazana zeganga.”
5 Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Mègayi kuteƒe nàɖu nu o, mègayi afa kple kutɔwo alo aɖe wò konyifafa afia o, elabena meɖe nye yayra, nye lɔlɔ̃ kple nye nublanuikpɔkpɔ ɖa le dukɔ sia dzi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngoba nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “Ungangeni endlini elokudla kwesililo; ungayilila kumbe utshengisele uzwelo, ngoba isibusiso sami, lothando lwami kanye lesihawu sami, sengikususile kulababantu,” kutsho uThixo.
6 “Amegãwo kple ame gblɔewo siaa aku le anyigba sia dzi. Womaɖi wo alo afa na wo o, eye ame aɖeke maxa ɖe wo ta asi eɖokui alo alũ eƒe taɖa o.
“Bonke abaphakemeyo labantukazana bazakufa kulelilizwe. Kabayikungcwatshwa kumbe bakhalelwe, njalo kakho ozazisika kumbe aphuce ikhanda lakhe ngenxa yabo.
7 Ame aɖeke maɖa nu aka na konyifalawo, atsɔ afa akɔe na wo o. Nenye wo fofo alo wo dada gɔ̃ hãe la, ame aɖeke mana aha wo teti atsɔ afa akɔe na wo o.
Kakho ozabanika ukudla ukuba abaduduze labo abalilela ofileyo, loba kunguyise kumbe unina, kakho lozabanika amanzi ukuba abaduduze.
8 “Ne wole nu ɖum le dzidzɔ kpɔm le aƒe aɖe me la, mègage ɖe aƒe ma me nanɔ anyi be yeaɖu nu, ano nu o.
Njalo ungangeni endlini eledili ukuba uhlale phansi udle unathe.
9 Elabena ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Le wò ŋkume kple wò ŋkekewo me, matɔ te dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aglotutu ƒe ɣliwo eye womagase ŋugbetɔ kple ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ƒe gbewo le teƒe sia o.’
Ngoba uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Phambi kobuso bakho njalo ensukwini zakho ngizawuqeda umsindo wentokozo lokuthaba kanye lamazwi abalobokazi labayeni kule indawo.
10 “Ne ègblɔ nya siawo katã na dukɔ sia eye wobia wò be, ‘Nu ka ta Yehowa ɖo gbegblẽ gã sia ɖi ɖe mia ŋuti? Vodada kae miewɔ eye nu vɔ̃ kae miewɔ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋuti hã?’ la,
Lapho abantu laba ubatshela konke lokhu besebekubuza besithi, ‘Kungani uThixo esemise ukusehlisela inkemenkeme engaka na? Senze bubi bani na? Sono bani esisenze kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu?’
11 ekema nàgblɔ na wo be elabena mia fofowo gblẽm ɖi hedze mawu bubuwo yome; wosubɔ wo eye wode ta agu na wo. Wogbem eye womelé nye seawo me ɖe asi o.
wena wothi kubo, ‘Kungenxa yokuthi okhokho benu bangifulathela,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘njalo balandela abanye onkulunkulu babasebenzela, babakhonza. Bangifulathela njalo kabayigcinanga imithetho yami.
12 Ke miawo la, miewɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wu mia fofowo. Kpɔ ale si mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dze eƒe dzi vɔ̃ɖi ƒe aglãdzedze yomee hegbe toɖoɖom ɖa!
Kodwa lina selenze okubi kakhulu kulabokhokho benu. Khangelani ukuthi lowo lalowo wenu uyilandela njani inkani yenhliziyo yakhe embi esikhundleni sokuthi angilalele.
13 Eya ta matsɔ mi aƒu gbe tso anyigba sia dzi aɖo ɖe anyigba si miawo alo mia fofowo menya o la dzi. Le afi ma miasubɔ Mawu bubuwo zã kple keli elabena nyemave mia nu o” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngakho ngizalilahlela ngaphandle kwalelilizwe elizweni lina loba oyihlo abangazange balazi, lapho elizakhonza khona abanye onkulunkulu emini lebusuku, ngoba angiyikuba lomusa kini.’”
14 “Yehowa be, gake ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi amewo magagblɔ be, ‘Meta Yehowa si kplɔ Israelviwo tso Egipte ƒe agbe’ o.
UThixo uthi, “Kodwa insuku ziyeza lapho abantu bengayikuthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengokuthi uThixo ukhona, yena owakhupha abako-Israyeli eGibhithe,’
15 Ke boŋ woagblɔ be, ‘Meta Yehowa si kplɔ Israelviwo tso anyiehenyigba dzi kple dukɔ siwo katã me wonya wo ɖo ɖa la ƒe agbe.’ Elabena magbugbɔ wo aɖo te le anyigba si metsɔ na wo fofowo la dzi.
kodwa bazakuthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengokuthi uThixo ukhona, yena owakhupha abako-Israyeli elizweni lasenyakatho lakuwo wonke amazwe ayebaxotshele kuwo.’ Ngoba ngizababuyisela elizweni engalinika okhokho babo.”
16 “Yehowa be, ‘Ke azɔ la, madɔ ame ɖe ɖɔkplɔla geɖewo eye woaɖe wo. Le esia megbe la, madɔ ame ɖe adela geɖewo eye woayɔ wo ɖe nu tso towo, togbɛwo dzi kple agadowo me.
UThixo uthi, “Kodwa khathesi ngizathumela abagoli benhlanzi abanengi, bazababamba. Emva kwalokho ngizathumela abazingeli abanengi, bazabazingela ezintabeni zonke lasemaqaqeni wonke njalo lasezingoxweni zamadwala.
17 Elabena nye ŋku le woƒe mɔwo katã ŋu, womele ɣaɣla ɖem o eye woƒe nu vɔ̃wo hã meɣla ɖe nye ŋkuwo o.
Amehlo ami akuzo zonke izindlela zabo; kabafihlakalanga kimi, lesono sabo kasiwacatshelanga amehlo ami.
18 Maɖo eteƒe na wo zi eve le woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, elabena wodo gu nye anyigba kple woƒe aklamakpakpɛwo, eye woli legba nyɔŋuwo ɖe nye domenyinu la dzi fũu.’”
Ngizaphindisela ngokuphindiweyo ububi babo lesono sabo, ngoba bangcolise ilizwe lami ngezinto ezingaphiliyo zezifanekiso zabo ezingamanyala, bagcwalisa lelifa lami ngezithombe zabo ezinengekayo.”
19 O Yehowa, nye ŋusẽ kple nye mɔ sesẽ, nye sitsoƒe le hiahiãgbe, gbɔwòe dukɔwo ava tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke, agblɔ be, “Alakpamawuwo koe mia fofowo tsɔ nyi domee; toflokolegbawo wonye, eye womehe nu nyui aɖeke vɛ na wo o.
Awu Thixo, mandla ami lenqaba yami, siphephelo sami ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka, izizwe zizakuza kuwe zivela emikhawulweni yomhlaba zithi, “Okhokho babengelalutho kodwa onkulunkulu bamanga, izithombe eziyize ezingabasizanga ngalutho.
20 Ɖe amewo wɔa woawo ŋutɔ ƒe mawuwoa? Ɛ̃, gake menye mawuwoe wonye o!”
Kambe abantu bayazenzela onkulunkulu babo na? Ye, kodwa kayisibo onkulunkulu!”
21 “Eya ta mafia wo, ke azɔ la, mafia nye ŋusẽ kple nye sesẽ wo. Ekema woadze sii be nye ŋkɔe nye Yehowa.
“Ngakho ngizabafundisa, khathesi ngizabafundisa amandla ami lobukhulu bami. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi ibizo lami nguThixo.”
