< Yeremia 17 >
1 “Wotsɔ ganuŋlɔnu kple nuŋlɔti si kpe xɔasi aɖe le nugbɔ na la ŋlɔ Yuda ƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖe woƒe dziwo ƒe nuŋlɔkpewo dzi, kple woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo ƒe dzowo ŋuti.
Isono sakoJuda sibhaliwe ngepheni yensimbi, ngomcijo wendayimana; sibhalwe ngokugujwa esibhebheni senhliziyo yabo, lezimpondweni zamalathi enu;
2 Wo viwo gɔ̃ hã ɖo ŋku woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple aƒeli siwo le wo ŋuti le ati damawo te kple togbɛ kɔkɔwo dzi la dzi.
abantwana babo besakhumbula amalathi abo lezixuku zabo ngasezihlahleni eziluhlaza phezu kwamaqaqa aphakemeyo.
3 Matsɔ nye to si le anyigba dzi, miaƒe nu xɔasiwo kple miaƒe kesinɔnuwo katã ana woaha hekpe ɖe miaƒe nuxeƒewo ŋuti le nu vɔ̃ si miewɔ le miaƒe anyigba blibo la dzi la ta.
Wena ntaba yami esegangeni, ngizanikela imfuyo yakho lakho konke okuligugu kwakho empangweni, lezindawo zakho eziphakemeyo, ngenxa yesono kuyo yonke imingcele yakho.
4 To miawo ŋutɔ ƒe vodada me la, miabu domenyinu siwo katã metsɔ na mi. Mana miazu kluviwo na miaƒe futɔwo le anyigba si mienya o la dzi elabena miede dzo nye dɔmedzoe me eya ta abi ɖe mia ŋuti ɖaa.”
Lawe, ngitsho ngokwakho, uzayekela ilifa lakho engakunika lona; njalo ngizakwenza usebenzele izitha zakho elizweni ongalaziyo; ngoba usuphembe umlilo ekuthukutheleni kwami; uzavutha kuze kube nininini.
5 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Aɖi ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe amegbetɔ dzi, hetsɔ ŋutilã wɔ eƒe ŋusẽkpɔtsoƒee eye eƒe dzi te ɖa xaa tso Yehowa gbɔ la ŋuti kpekpekpe!
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Uqalekisiwe umuntu othembela emuntwini, esenza inyama ibe yingalo yakhe, lonhliziyo yakhe iphambuka eNkosini.
6 Anɔ abe gbe le dzogbenyigba dzi ene eye ne dzɔgbenyui va la, makpɔe o. Anɔ gbegbe ƒe kuɖiɖinyigbawo dzi kple dzeƒutagba afi si ame aɖeke menɔna o.”
Ngoba uzakuba njengesihlahlanyana enkangala, esingayikubona nxa okuhle kusiza; kodwa uzahlala ezindaweni ezomileyo enkangala, elizweni letshwayi, elingahlalwayo.
7 “Ke woayra ŋutsu si ɖoa dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu eye wòtsɔa eƒe dzideƒo dea Yehowa me.
Ubusisiwe umuntu othembela eNkosini, lothemba lakhe liyiNkosi.
8 Eya amea anɔ abe ati si wodo ɖe tɔ to, eye wòƒo ke ɖe tɔʋu la te ene. Ne ŋdɔ le ʋuʋum sesĩe hã la, mevɔ̃na o eye eƒe aŋgbawo hã daa ama ɣe sia ɣi. Eƒe dzi metsona le kuɖiɣi o eye wòtsea ku ɖaa.”
Ngoba uzakuba njengesihlahla esihlanyelwe ngasemanzini, esinabisela impande zaso ngasemfuleni, esingesabi lapho kufika ukutshisa, kodwa ihlamvu laso lizakuba luhlaza; kasikhathazeki emnyakeni wokubalela, kasiyekeli ukuthela isithelo.
9 Ame ƒe dzi nye nu si daa alakpa wu nuwo katã eye womate ŋu ayɔ dɔe o. Ame ka ate ŋu ase egɔme?
Inhliziyo ilenkohliso okwedlula konke, futhi imbi kakhulu; ngubani ongayazi?
10 “Nye Yehowae dzroa dziwo me, eye medoa susuwo kpɔ be maɖo eteƒe na ame sia ame ɖe eƒe zɔzɔme kple nu si eƒe nuwɔwɔwo dze na la nu.”
Mina Nkosi ngihlola inhliziyo, ngilinge izinso, ngitsho ukupha wonke umuntu njengokwezindlela zakhe, njengokwesithelo sezenzo zakhe.
11 Abe ale si koklo ƒoa azi si menye etɔ o ene la, nenemae wòanɔ na ame si ƒo kesinɔnuwo nu ƒu to mɔ fitifitiwo dzi. Kesinɔnuawo avɔ le esi le eƒe agbe me, eye le nuwuwu la, aɖee afia be yenye bometsila.
Njengethendele elifukamela amaqanda lingawachamuseli, unjalo lowo owenza inotho kodwa hatshi ngokulunga; uzakutshiya phakathi kwensuku zakhe, lekucineni kwakhe abe yisithutha.
12 Ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe fiazikpui si wodo ɖe dzi le gɔmedzedzea me ke lae nye teƒe si miaƒe kɔkɔeƒe la le.
Isihlalo sobukhosi esilenkazimulo, esiphakanyisiweyo kwasekuqaleni, siyindawo yendlu yethu engcwele.
13 O Yehowa, Israel ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ, ame siwo katã gbe wò la, ŋu akpe wo. Ame siwo trɔ le yowòme la, woaŋlɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe kewɔ me elabena wogbe nu le Yehowa, agbetsivudo la gbɔ.
Nkosi, themba likaIsrayeli, bonke abakudelayo bazayangeka; labasuka kimi bazabhalwa emhlabathini, ngoba bayidelile iNkosi, umthombo wamanzi aphilayo.
14 Yɔ dɔm, O Yehowa eye makpɔ dɔyɔyɔ. Ɖem ekema makpɔ ɖeɖe elabena wòe mekafuna.
Ngisilisa, Nkosi, njalo ngizasila; ngisindisa, njalo ngizasindiswa; ngoba uyindumiso yami.
15 Wole biayem ɖaa be, “Afi ka Yehowa ƒe nya la le? Neva eme azɔ!”
Khangela, bathi kimi: Lingaphi ilizwi leNkosi? Kalize khathesi!
16 Nyemesi dzo be nyemaganye wò alẽkplɔla o; ènya be ŋkeke vɔ̃ la hã medzrom o. Nu siwo katã megblɔ kple nye nu la, le ƒeƒle le ŋkuwòme.
Kodwa mina kangiphangisanga ukuthi ngingabi ngumelusi emva kwakho; futhi kangilufisanga usuku olwesabekayo; wena uyakwazi; okwaphuma emlonyeni wami kwakuphambi kobuso bakho.
17 Mèganye ŋɔdzinu nam o elabena wòe nye nye sitsoƒe le gbegblẽ ƒe ŋkeke la dzi.
Ungabi luvalo kimi; wena uyisiphephelo sami osukwini lobubi.
18 Na ŋu nakpe yonyemetilawo, ke nye ya, ɖem tso ŋukpe me. Dzidzi neƒo wo, gake nye ya ŋɔ megadzim o. Na gbegblẽ ƒe ŋkeke la nava wo dzi eye nàgbã wo, agagbã wo ɖe edzi.
Kabayangeke labo abangizingelayo, kodwa mina kangingayangeki, kabesabe bona, kodwa mina kangingesabi; behlisele usuku lobubi, ubephule ngokwephula okuphindiweyo.
19 Ale si Yehowa gblɔ nam lae nye esi: “Yi, nàtsi tsitre ɖe agbo si me dua me tɔwo kple Yuda fiawo tona dona, gagbɔna la nu. Nenema ke, nàtsi tsitre ɖe agbo bubu siwo woɖo ɖe Yerusalem dua ŋu la nu.
Itsho njalo iNkosi kimi: Hamba uyekuma esangweni labantwana babantu, angena ngalo amakhosi akoJuda, aphuma ngalo, lakuwo wonke amasango eJerusalema,
20 Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya, O Yuda fiawo kple mi Yudatɔwo katã kple mi ame siwo katã le Yerusalem, ame siwo toa agbo siawo me.’
ubususithi kubo: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, lina makhosi akoJuda, loJuda wonke, labo bonke abahlali beJerusalema, abangena ngala amasango!
21 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Mikpɔ nyuie be miagatsɔ agba aɖeke le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi alo atsɔe ato Yerusalem ƒe agbowo mee o.
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ziqapheleni, lingathwali mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha, kumbe liwungenise ngamasango eJerusalema.
22 Migatsɔ agba aɖeke do goe tso miaƒe aƒewo me loo alo awɔ dɔ aɖeke le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi o, ke boŋ miwɔ Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la kɔkɔe abe ale si mede see na mia fofowo la ene.
Futhi lingakhuphi umthwalo ezindlini zenu ngosuku lwesabatha, lingenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi; kodwa lungcweliseni usuku lwesabatha, njengalokhu ngalaya oyihlo.
23 Gake womeɖo to alo ƒu to anyi o. Wonye kɔlialiatɔwo eye womeɖo to alo bɔbɔ ɖe hehe te o.
Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa benza intamo yabo yaba lukhuni ukuze bangezwa, lokuze bangemukeli ukulaywa.
24 Ke Yehowa be ne miedze kɔ anyi heɖo tom, eye mietsɔ agba aɖeke to du sia ƒe agbowo me le Dzudzɔgbe dzi o, ke boŋ miewɔ Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la kɔkɔe, eye miewɔ dɔ aɖeke le edzi o la,
Kuzakuthi-ke uba lina lingilalela lokungilalela, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi lingangenisi mthwalo ngamasango alumuzi ngosuku lwesabatha, kodwa lilungcwelise usuku lwesabatha, ukuthi lingenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo;
25 ekema fia siwo anɔ David ƒe fiazikpui dzi la, ava to du sia ƒe agbowo me kple woƒe dumegãwo. Wo kple woƒe dumegãwo anɔ tasiaɖamwo me kple sɔwo dzi ava, Yudatɔwo kple ame siwo le Yerusalem la akplɔ wo ɖo eye du sia anye amenɔƒe tegbee.
khona kuzangena ngamasango alumuzi amakhosi leziphathamandla abahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, begade izinqola lamabhiza, wona leziphathamandla zawo, abantu bakoJuda, labahlali beJerusalema; lalumuzi uzahlalwa kuze kube nininini.
26 Amewo ava tso Yuda duwo kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã Yerusalem la me, woava tso Benyaminyigba dzi kple ɣetoɖoƒebaliwo me, tso keke togbɛnyigbawo dzi kple gbegbenutowo me. Woatsɔ numevɔsawo, akpedavɔsawo, nuɖuvɔsawo, atike ʋeʋĩwo kple kafukafuvɔsawo ava Yehowa ƒe aƒe mee.
Bazakuza-ke bevela emizini yakoJuda, lezindaweni ezizingelezele iJerusalema, lelizweni lakoBhenjamini, legcekeni, lezintabeni, lasezansi, beletha umnikelo wokutshiswa, lomhlatshelo, lomnikelo wokudla, lenhlaka, beletha umhlatshelo wokubonga, endlini yeNkosi.
27 Gake ne miegbe toɖoɖom, miewɔ Dzudzɔgbe la kɔkɔe o, mietsɔ agba to Yerusalem ƒe agbowo me le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la dzi la, ekema mado dzo matsimatsi ɖe Yerusalem ƒe agbowo nu eye wòafia eƒe mɔ sesẽwo.’”
Kodwa uba lingangilaleli, ukwenza usuku lwesabatha lube ngcwele, ukuthi lingathwali mthwalo nxa lingena ngamasango eJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha, khona ngizaphemba umlilo emasangweni ayo, ozaqothula izigodlo zeJerusalema, ongayikucitshwa.
