1 Gbedeasi sia va na Yeremia tso Yehowa gbɔ esi Fia Zedekia dɔ Pasur, Malkiya ƒe vi kple nunɔla Zefania, Maaseya ƒe vi ɖe egbɔ. Wogblɔ na Yeremia be,
Ilizwi lafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lapho uZedekhiya inkosi wayethume kuye uPhashuri indodana kaMalikhija lomphristi uZefaniya indodana kaMaseya. Bathi:
2 “Bia gbe Yehowa na mí elabena Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar ho aʋa ɖe mía ŋu. Ɖewohĩ Yehowa awɔ nukunu na mí abe ale si wòwɔe le blemaɣeyiɣiwo me ene, ale be wòatrɔ adzo le mía gbɔ.”
“Ake usibuzele kuThixo khathesi nje, ngoba uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni uyasihlasela. Mhlawumbe uThixo angasenzela izimanga njengasezikhathini ezedlulayo ukuze asuke kithi.”
3 Tete Yeremia ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migblɔ na Zedekia be,
Kodwa uJeremiya wathi kubo, “Tshelani uZedekhiya lithi:
4 ‘Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Kpɔ ɖa, matrɔ aʋawɔnu siwo le asiwò la ɖe ŋutiwò, aʋawɔnu siwo nètsɔ le aʋa wɔm kple Babilonia fia kple Babiloniatɔ siwo ɖe to ɖe dua le aʋa wɔm kpli wò. Makplɔ wo aƒo ƒu ɖe du sia titina.
‘UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Sekuseduze ukuthi ngiziphendulele kuwe izikhali zempi ezisezandleni zakho, ozisebenzisayo ekulweni lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni lamaKhaladiya angaphandle komduli ekuvimbezele. Njalo ngizawaqoqa phakathi kwalelidolobho.
5 Nye ŋutɔ matsɔ alɔ si le dzi kple alɔ sesẽ awɔ aʋa kpli mi le dziku, dɔmedzoe kple vevesese helĩhelĩ me.
Mina uqobo ngizakulwa lawe ngesandla eseluliweyo langengalo elamandla ngentukuthelo langokufuthelana kanye lolaka olukhulu.
6 Maƒo du sia me nɔlawo aƒu anyi, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa eye dɔvɔ̃ awu wo.
Ngizabatshaya abahlala kulelidolobho, abantu lezifuyo njalo bazabulawa yisifo esesabekayo.
7 Yehowa be le esia megbe la, matsɔ Yuda fia Zedekia, eƒe dumegãwo kple du sia me nɔla siwo dɔvɔ̃, yi kple dɔwuame mewu o la ade asi na Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia kple woƒe ketɔ siwo le woƒe agbe yome tim. Awu wo kple yi, mave wo nu, akpɔ nublanui na wo loo alo anyo dɔ me na wo o.’
Emva kwalokho, kutsho uThixo, uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, lezikhulu zakhe kanye labantu bakulelidolobho abaphepha emkhuhlaneni, enkembeni lasendlaleni, ngizabanikela kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lasezitheni zabo ezifuna ukubabulala. Uzababulala ngenkemba; kayikuba lomusa kumbe uzwelo loba isihawu.’
8 “Gawu la, gblɔ na dukɔ la be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ agbemɔ kple kumɔ le mia ŋkume ɖom.
Phezu kwalokho, abantu batshele uthi, ‘UThixo uthi: Khangelani, ngiyalimisela phambi kwenu indlela yokuphila lendlela yokufa.
9 Ame si atsi du sia me la, yi, dɔwuame alo dɔvɔ̃ awui, ke ame si tsɔ eɖokui na Babiloniatɔ siwo ɖe to ɖe dua la maku o, ke boŋ aɖe eƒe agbe.
Loba ngubani osala kulelidolobho uzabulawa ngenkemba, yindlala loba ngumkhuhlane. Kodwa loba ngubani ophumayo kulo ayezinikela kumaKhaladiya alivimbezeleyo uzasila, aphunyuke lokuphila kwakhe.
10 Meɖo vɔ̃ ɖe du sia ŋuti kplikpaa, ke menye nyui o. Woatsɔe ade asi na Babilonia fia, eye wòagbãe, atɔ dzoe.’ Yehowae gblɔe.
Sengiqonde ukwenza okubi kulelidolobho hatshi okuhle, kutsho uThixo. Lizanikelwa ezandleni zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, ezalitshabalalisa ngomlilo.’
11 “Gawu la, gblɔ na Yuda ƒe fiaƒemetɔwo be, ‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya:
Phezu kwalokho, wothi endlini yenkosi yakoJuda, ‘Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo;
12 O David ƒe aƒe, ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Midrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe, ŋdi sia ŋdi, mixɔ na ame si woda adzoe la le ŋutasẽla si, ne menye nenema o la, nye dziku agbã go, abi abe dzo ene, eye ame aɖeke mate ŋu atsii o, ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi si miewɔ la ta.
lina abendlu kaDavida, uThixo uthi: Yenzani ukulunga insuku zonke ekuseni; mhlengeni esandleni somncindezeli wakhe lowo ophangiweyo, hlezi ulaka lwami luqubuke, lutshise njengomlilo ngenxa yobubi elibenzileyo, lutshise engekho ongalucitsha.
13 Metso ɖe ŋutiwò, Yerusalem, wò si le bali sia ƒe dzigbe le agakpeto tame, mi ame siwo gblɔ be, “Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe mía nu? Ame ka ate ŋu age ɖe míaƒe bebeƒe la me?” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngimelane lawe, Jerusalema, wena ohlala ngaphezu kwalesisigodi, emagcekeni alamadwala, kutsho uThixo, lina elithi, “Ngubani ongazasihlasela na? Ngubani ongangena esiphephelweni sethu na?”
14 Yehowa be, “Mahe to na mi le miaƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ ta, maɖe dzo ade miaƒe avewo me, eye wòafia nu sia nu si ƒo xlã mi.”’” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngizalijezisa njengokufanele izono zenu, kutsho uThixo. Ngizaphemba umlilo emahlathini enu ozalobisa konke okuseduze lani.’”
