Yeremia 16
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
2 “Mègaɖe srɔ̃ be nàdzi ŋutsuviwo kple nyɔnuviwo ɖe teƒe sia o”
Ungazithatheli umfazi, njalo ungabi lamadodana kumbe amadodakazi kulindawo.
3 Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔ tso ŋutsuvi kple nyɔnuvi siwo wodzi ɖe anyigba sia dzi, wo dadawo kple wo fofowo ŋutie nye esi:
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana lamadodana lamayelana lamadodakazi azalelwe kulindawo, lamayelana labonina abawazalayo lamayelana laboyise abawazalele kulelilizwe:
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 izimfa zemikhuhlane; kabayikulilelwa, futhi kabayikungcwatshwa; bazakuba ngumquba phezu kobuso bomhlaba; njalo bazaqedwa yinkemba layindlala; lezidumbu zabo zizakuba yikudla kwezinyoni zamazulu lokwenyamazana zomhlaba.
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 itsho njalo iNkosi: Ungangeni endlini yesililo, ungayikulila, ungabakhaleli; ngoba ngikususile ukuthula kwami kulababantu, itsho iNkosi, uthandolomusa lezihawu.
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.
Njalo abakhulu labancinyane bazakufa kulelilizwe; kabayikungcwatshwa, kabayikubalilela, kabayikuzisika, kabayikuziphuca 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.
Futhi kabayikubahlephulela isinkwa esililweni, ukubaduduza ngenxa yofileyo; futhi kakho ozabanathisa inkezo yezinduduzo ngenxa kayise langenxa kanina.
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 yedili, ukuhlala labo, ukudla lokunatha.
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 itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangelani, ngizakwenza ukuthi kuphele kule indawo, emehlweni enu, lensukwini zenu, ilizwi lentokozo, lelizwi lenjabulo, ilizwi lomyeni, lelizwi likamakoti.
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,
Njalo kuzakuthi lapho utshela lababantu wonke lamazwi, babesebesithi kuwe: INkosi ikhulumelani konke lokhu okubi okukhulu imelene lathi, njalo buyini ububi bethu, njalo yisiphi isono sethu esisonileyo simelene leNkosi 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.
Khona uzakuthi kubo: Ngenxa yokuthi oyihlo bangidelile, itsho iNkosi, balandela abanye onkulunkulu, babasebenzela, babakhonza, bangidela mina, kabagcinanga umlayo wami;
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!
lina-ke lenze okubi kulaboyihlo; ngoba khangelani, lilandela, ngulowo lalowo ubulukhuni benhliziyo yakhe embi, ukuthi bangangilaleli.
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 ngizaliphosela ngaphandle kwalelilizwe, liye elizweni elingalaziyo, lina laboyihlo; lapho-ke lizasebenzela abanye onkulunkulu emini lebusuku, ngoba kangiyikulinika umusa.
14 “Yehowa be, gake ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi amewo magagblɔ be, ‘Meta Yehowa si kplɔ Israelviwo tso Egipte ƒe agbe’ o.
Ngakho, khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho kungasayikuthiwa: Kuphila kweNkosi, eyakhuphula abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe;
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: Kuphila kweNkosi, eyakhuphula abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni lenyakatho lakuwo wonke amazwe eyayibaxotshele kiwo; ngoba ngizababuyisa futhi elizweni lakibo engalinika oyise.
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.
Khangela, ngizathumela kubagoli benhlanzi abanengi, itsho iNkosi, babesebebagola; lemva kwalokho ngizathumela kubazingeli abanengi, babazingele bebasusa kuyo yonke intaba, lakulo lonke uqaqa, 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.
Ngoba amehlo ami aphezu kwazo zonke izindlela zabo; kazifihlakalanga ebusweni bami, lobubi babo kabucatshanga phambi kwamehlo 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.’”
Kuqala-ke ngizaphindisela isiphambeko sabo lesono sabo ngokuphindiweyo, ngoba bengcolise ilizwe lami, bagcwalisa ilifa lami ngezidumbu zamanyala abo lezinengiso zabo.
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.
Nkosi, wena mandla ami, lenqaba yami, lesiphephelo sami ngosuku lwembandezelo, abezizwe bazafika kuwe bevela emikhawulweni yomhlaba, bathi: Isibili obaba badlile ilifa lamanga, okuyize, lokungekho inzuzo kukho.
20 Ɖe amewo wɔa woawo ŋutɔ ƒe mawuwoa? Ɛ̃, gake menye mawuwoe wonye o!”
Umuntu angazenzela onkulunkulu yini, kanti kabayisibo 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, khangela, ngizabenza bazi okwalesisikhathi, ngizabenza bazi isandla sami lobuqhawe bami; bazakwazi-ke ukuthi ibizo lami linguJehova.
