Yeremia 27

1 Le Yuda fia Zedekia, Yosia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe gɔmedzedzea me la, Yehowa ƒe nya sia va na Yeremia be:

In the beginning of the reigne of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah came this worde vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,

2 Ale Yehowa gblɔ nam nye esi: “Gbi ka, nàtsɔ ati sesẽ eve awɔ kɔkuti eye nàtsɔ kɔkuti la ku wò kɔ.

Thus saith the Lord to me, Make thee bonds, and yokes, and put them vpon thy necke,

3 Ekema nàɖo du ɖe Edom, Moab, Amon, Tiro kple Sidon fiawo to woƒe ame dɔdɔ siwo va Yuda fia, Zedekia, gbɔ le Yerusalem la dzi.

And send them to the King of Edom, and to the King of Moab, and to the King of the Ammonites, and to the King of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hande of the messengers which come to Ierusale vnto Zedekiah ye king of Iudah,

4 Ɖo gbedeasi ɖe woƒe amegãwo, eye nàgblɔ be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Migblɔ na miaƒe amegãwo be,

And commande them to saye vnto their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say vnto your masters,

5 Nye ŋusẽ triakɔ kple nye abɔ si le dzi lae metsɔ wɔ anyigba, edzinɔlawo kple lã vovovo siwo le edzi eye metsɔnɛ naa ame sia ame si melɔ̃.

I haue made the earth, the man, and the beast that are vpon the groud, by my great power, and by my outstreched arme, and haue giuen it vnto whom it pleased me.

6 Azɔ la, matsɔ miaƒe dukɔwo katã ade asi na nye dɔla, Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar. Mawɔe be lã wɔadãwo gɔ̃ hã anɔ eƒe kpɔkplɔ te.

But nowe I haue giuen all these landes into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and the beastes of the fielde haue I also giuen him to serue him.

7 Dukɔwo katã asubɔe, asubɔ via kple eƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi gɔ̃ hã va se ɖe esime eƒe anyigba ƒe ɣeyiɣi nade. Ekema dukɔ geɖewo kple fia xɔŋkɔwo aɖu edzi.

And all nations shall serue him, and his sonne, and his sonnes sonne vntill the very time of his lande come also: then many nations and great Kinges shall serue themselues of him.

8 “‘“Ke ne dukɔ alo fiaɖuƒe aɖe gbe be yemasubɔ Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar, alo abɔbɔ ɖe eƒe kɔkuti te o la, mahe to na dukɔ ma kple yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ va se ɖe esime matsrɔ̃e kple Nebukadnezar ƒe asi.”’ Yehowae gblɔe.

And the nation and kingdome which will not serue the same Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and that will not put their necke vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, the same nation will I visite, saith the Lord, with the sworde, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, vntill I haue wholy giuen them into his hands.

9 Eya ta migaɖo to miaƒe nyagblɔɖilawo, bokɔnɔwo, drɔ̃egɔmeɖelawo, ŋɔliyɔlawo kple nukala siwo gblɔna na mi be, ‘Migasubɔ Babilonia fia o’ la o.

Therefore heare not your prophets nor your southsayers, nor your dreamers, nor your inchanters, nor your sorcerers, which say vnto you thus, Ye shall not serue the King of Babel.

10 Wogblɔa aʋatsonyagblɔɖiwo na mi, siwo ana be woaɖe mi ɖa le miaƒe anyigbawo dzi aɖo ɖe didiƒewo. Manya mi eye miatsrɔ̃.

For they prophecie a lie vnto you to cause you to goe farre from your lande, and that I should cast you out, and you should perish.

11 Gake ne dukɔ aɖe bɔbɔ ɖe Babilonia fia ƒe kɔkuti te hesubɔe la, mana be dukɔ ma nanɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi eye wòanɔ edzi. Yehowae gblɔe.”

But the nation that put their neckes vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, and serue him, those wil I let remaine stil in their owne land, saith the Lord, and they shall occupie it, and dwel therein.

12 Metsɔ gbedeasi sia ke na Yuda fia Zedekia. Megblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ wò kɔ de Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar, ƒe kɔkuti te; subɔ eya kple eƒe dukɔmetɔwo eye nànɔ agbe.

I spake also to Zedekiah king of Iudah according to all these wordes, saying, Put your neckes vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, and serue him and his people, that ye may liue.

13 Nu ka ŋuti wò kple wò amewo miaku ɖe yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ si ƒe ŋugbe Yehowa do na dukɔ si masubɔ Babilonia fia o la ƒe asi me?

Why will ye dye, thou, and thy people by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation, that will not serue the King of Babel?

14 Mègaɖo to nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nya si gblɔm wole na wò be, ‘Mígasubɔ Babilonia fia o’ la o; elabena aʋatsonyawo gblɔm wole na wò.

Therefore heare not the words of the prophets, that speake vnto you, saying, Ye shall not serue the King of Babel: for they prophecie a lie vnto you.

15 Yehowa be, ‘Nyemedɔ wo o. Aʋatsonya gblɔm wole ɖi le nye ŋkɔ me. Eya ta manya wò ɖa le teƒe sia eye wò kple Nyagblɔɖila siwo gblɔ nya ɖi na wò la siaa miatsrɔ̃.’”

For I haue not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophecie a lie in my name, that I might cast you out, and that ye might perish, both you, and the prophets that prophecie vnto you.

16 Tete megblɔ na nunɔlawo kple ame siawo katã be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Migaɖo to nyagblɔɖila siwo gblɔna na mi be, ‘Esusɔ vie woatrɔ nu siwo wolɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me yi Babilonia la gbɔe’ o. Aʋatsonya gblɔm wole ɖi na mi.

Also I spake to the Priests, and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Heare not the wordes of your prophets that prophecie vnto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall nowe shortly be brought againe from Babel, for they prophecie a lie vnto you.

17 Migaɖo to wo o. Misubɔ Babilonia fia, ekema mianɔ agbe. Nu ka ŋuti du sia azu aƒedo?

Heare them not, but serue the King of Babel, that ye may liue: wherefore shoulde this citie be desolate?

18 Nenye nyagblɔɖilawoe wonye vavã eye Yehowa ƒe nya le wo me la, ekema woneɖe kuku na Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, be nu siwo susɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me kple Yuda fia ƒe aƒe me le Yerusalem la, womagalɔ wo ayi Babilonia o.

But if they be Prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them intreate the Lord of hostes, that the vessels, which are left in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the King of Iudah, and at Ierusalem, go not to Babel.

19 Elabena, ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ tso sɔtiawo, akɔblizɔ kple nu siwo dzi woda wo ɖo kple nu bubu siwo susɔ ɖe du sia me la ŋuti.

For thus saith the Lord of hostes, concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remaine in this citie,

20 Nu siwo Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar metsɔ dzoe o esi wòva lé Yuda fia Yehoyatsin, Yehoyakim ƒe vi, yi ɖe aboyome le Babilonia kpe ɖe Yuda kple Yerusalem ƒe ame ŋkutawo ŋuti.

Which Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel tooke not, when he caryed away captiue Ieconiah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah from Ierusalem to Babel, with all the nobles of Iudah and Ierusalem.

21 Ɛ̃, ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ tso nu siwo susɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ kple Yuda fia ƒe fiasã me le Yerusalem la ŋutie nye esi:

For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remaine in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the King of Iudah, and at Ierusalem,

22 ‘Woalɔ wo ayi ɖe Babilonia, afi ma woanɔ va se ɖe gbe si gbe mava alɔ wo ekema matrɔ wo agbɔe va teƒe sia.’” Yehowae gblɔe.

They shall be brought to Babel, and there they shalbe vntil the day that I visite them, saith the Lord: then will I bring them vp, and restore them vnto this place.
