Yeremia 21
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 elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini lapho inkosi uZedekhiya ethuma kuye uPashuri indodana kaMalikiya, loZefaniya indodana kaMahaseya, umpristi, isithi:
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 eNkosini, ngoba uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni ulwa emelene lathi; mhlawumbe iNkosi ingasenzela njengokwezimangaliso zayo zonke, ukuze enyuke asuke kithi.
3 Tete Yeremia ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migblɔ na Zedekia be,
UJeremiya wasesithi kubo: Lizakutsho njalo kuZedekhiya:
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.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangelani, ngizaphendulela emuva izikhali zempi ezisezandleni zenu, elilwa ngazo lenkosi yeBhabhiloni lamaKhaladiya, abalivimbezeleyo ngaphandle komduli, ngibaqoqe ngaphakathi kwalumuzi.
5 Nye ŋutɔ matsɔ alɔ si le dzi kple alɔ sesẽ awɔ aʋa kpli mi le dziku, dɔmedzoe kple vevesese helĩhelĩ me.
Njalo mina ngizakulwa lani ngesandla eseluliweyo, langengalo elamandla, langentukuthelo, langokufutheka, langolaka olukhulu.
6 Maƒo du sia me nɔlawo aƒu anyi, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa eye dɔvɔ̃ awu wo.
Njalo ngizatshaya abakhileyo balumuzi, umuntu kanye lesifuyo; bazakufa ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo omkhulu.
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.’
Kuthi emva kwalokhu, itsho iNkosi, uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, lenceku zakhe, labantu, labaseleyo phakathi kwalumuzi kumatshayabhuqe wesifo, enkembeni, lendlaleni, ngizabanikela esandleni sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, lesandleni sezitha zabo, lesandleni salabo abadinga impilo yabo. Njalo uzabatshaya ngobukhali benkemba; kayikubayekela, kayikuhawukela, kayikuba lomusa.
8 “Gawu la, gblɔ na dukɔ la be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ agbemɔ kple kumɔ le mia ŋkume ɖom.
Njalo kulababantu uzakuthi: Itsho njalo INkosi: Khangelani, ngibeka 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.
Osala kulumuzi uzakufa ngenkemba langendlala langomatshayabhuqe wesifo; kodwa ophumayo, awele kumaKhaladiya alivimbezelayo, uzaphila, lempilo yakhe izakuba yimpango kuye.
10 Meɖo vɔ̃ ɖe du sia ŋuti kplikpaa, ke menye nyui o. Woatsɔe ade asi na Babilonia fia, eye wòagbãe, atɔ dzoe.’ Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngoba ngimisile ubuso bami bumelene lalumuzi ngokubi, hatshi ngokuhle, itsho iNkosi; uzanikelwa esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni, iwutshise ngomlilo.
11 “Gawu la, gblɔ na Yuda ƒe fiaƒemetɔwo be, ‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya:
Lamayelana lendlu yenkosi yakoJuda, zwanini ilizwi leNkosi:
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.
Wena ndlu kaDavida, itsho njalo INkosi: Yehlulelani isahlulelo ekuseni, lophule ophangiweyo esandleni somcindezeli, hlezi ulaka lwami luphume njengomlilo, lutshise, ukuthi kungabi khona ocitshayo, ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zenu.
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.
Khangela, ngimelene lawe, wena mhlali wesigodi, dwala legceke, itsho iNkosi; lina elithi: Ngubani ozakwehla amelane lathi? Kumbe ngubani ozangena endaweni zethu zokuhlala?
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.
Kodwa ngizalijezisa njengokwesithelo sezenzo zenu, itsho iNkosi, ngiphembe umlilo ehlathini lakho, ozaqeda konke inhlangothi zonke zakho.
