Yeremia 33
1 Esi Yeremia gale ga me ko le dzɔlawo ƒe xɔxɔnu la, Yehowa ƒe nya va nɛ zi evelia be,
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined to the atrium of the prison, saying:
2 “Ale Yehowa, ame si wɔ anyigba, Yehowa si wɔe hetsɔe ɖo te, eye eŋkɔe nye Yehowa la gblɔe nye esi:
“Thus says the Lord, who will prepare, and form, and accomplish it; the Lord is his name.
3 ‘Yɔm, eye matɔ na wò, magblɔ nu gã siwo mènya o, eye wo me dzodzro hã meli o la na wò!’
Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
4 Elabena ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ ɖe aƒe siwo le du sia me kple Yuda fiawo ƒe fiasã siwo wogbã ƒu anyi be woalɔ awɔ akpoxɔnu ɖe futɔwo ƒe aʋawɔnuwo kple yi ŋuti,
For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
5 le aʋa si wowɔ kple Babiloniatɔwo la me. ‘Woayɔ fũu kple ŋutsu siwo mewu le nye dziku kple dɔmedzoe me la ƒe kukuawo. Maɣla nye mo ɖe du sia le eƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo katã ta.
of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
6 “‘Gake kpɔ ɖa mayɔ dɔ wo eye woahaya. Mayɔ dɔ nye dukɔ eye mana ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ fũu.
Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
7 Makplɔ Yuda kple Israel agbɔe tso aboyo me, eye magaɖo wo te abe ale si wonɔ tsã ene.
And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
8 Maklɔ nu vɔ̃ siwo katã wowɔ ɖe ŋutinye la ɖa le wo ŋu, eye matsɔ woƒe aglãdzedze ƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo katã wowɔ ɖe ŋunye la ake wo.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised me.
9 Ekema du sia atsɔ ŋkɔ gã, dzidzɔ, kafukafu kple bubu vɛ nam le anyigbadzidukɔ siwo katã se nu nyui siwo mewɔ na wo la dome; ŋɔdzi alé wo eye woadzo nyanyanya le nunyoname gbogbo kple ŋutifafa si mena wo la ta.’
And this will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
10 “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ègblɔ tso teƒe sia ŋuti be, ezu aƒedo si me amewo alo lãwo mele o.’ Gake le Yuda duwo kple Yerusalem kpɔdome siwo ɖi gbɔlo, eye amegbetɔwo alo lãwo gɔ hã megale o la, woagase
Thus says the Lord: Still shall there be heard in this place, (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast, ) and in the cities of Judah and outside of Jerusalem, (which are desolate, without man, and without an inhabitant and without cattle, )
11 dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso, ŋugbetɔ kple ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ƒe gbe kple ame siwo tsɔ akpedavɔsa va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ mee, woanɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Mida akpe na Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, elabena Yehowa ƒe dɔ me nyo eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li tegbee. Elabena magaɖo anyigba la ƒe nunyonamewo te abe tsã ene.” Yehowae gblɔe.
the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Confess to the Lord of hosts! For the Lord is good! For his mercy is eternal!’ and the voice of those fulfilling their vows in the house of the Lord. For I will lead back the turning away of the land, just as from the beginning, says the Lord.”
12 “Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Teƒe sia kple eƒe du siwo katã zu aƒedo, eye amewo alo lãwo gɔ̃ hã menɔ wo me o la aganye lãnyiƒe damawo na alẽkplɔlawo be woakplɔ woƒe alẽhawo ayii.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Still shall there be in this place, (which is desolate without man and without beast, ) and in all of its cities: a habitation for the shepherds giving rest to their flocks.
13 Le togbɛnyigba ƒe duwo me kple du siwo le ɣetoɖoƒe ƒe togbɛmɔwo to, kpe ɖe du siwo le gbegbe le Benyaminyigba dzi, heyi ɖe kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã Yerusalem kple Yuda ƒe duwo la, alẽhawo agato wo xlẽla ƒe asi te.’ Yehowae gblɔe.
For even in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, still shall the flocks travel by the hand of him who numbers them, says the Lord.
14 “Yehowa be, ‘Ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi mawɔ ɖe amenuveve ƒe ŋugbe si medo na Israel kple Yuda ƒe aƒewo dzi.’
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 “Le ŋkeke mawo kple ɣeyiɣi mawo me la, mana Atilɔ dzɔdzɔe aɖe nado tso David ƒe ƒome me, awɔ nu si le eteƒe, eye wòle dzɔdzɔe la le anyigba dzi.
In those days and at that time, I will cause the seedling of justice to spring up from David, and he will accomplish judgment and justice upon the earth.
16 Le ŋkeke mawo me la, woaɖe Yuda, eye Yerusalem anɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me. Esiae nye ŋkɔ si woayɔ nɛ, ‘Yehowa Míaƒe Dzɔdzɔenyenye?’
In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’
17 Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘David magbe amekpɔkpɔ ne wòanɔ anyi ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpui dzi loo,
For thus says the Lord: There shall not cease to be a man from David sitting upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18 alo nunɔla siwo nye Leviviwo la nagbe ame si anɔ nye ŋkume ɖaa anɔ numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa kple vɔsa bubuwo wɔm nam la kpɔkpɔ o.’”
And there shall not cease to be a man from the priests and from the Levites before my face, who offers holocausts, and burns sacrifices, and kills victims, for days without end.”
19 Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
20 “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ne miate ŋu atu nye nu si mebla kple ŋkeke kple zã, ale be ŋkeke kple zã magava ɖe woƒe ɖoɖo nu o la,
“Thus says the Lord: If my covenant with the day is able to be nullified, or my covenant with the night, such that there would be no day and no night in their time,
21 ekema woate ŋu atu nye nu si mebla kple nye dɔla David kple esi mebla kple Leviviwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo eye wowɔa subɔsubɔdɔ le ŋkunye me. David hã magakpɔ dzidzimevi si aɖu fia le eƒe fiazikpui dzi o.
then, too, my covenant with David, my servant, may be nullified, such that he would not have a son who reigns upon his throne, with both the Levites and the priests as my ministers.
22 Mawɔ David ƒe dzidzimeviwo woanye nye dɔlawo eye mana Levi vi siwo wɔa subɔsubɔdɔ le ŋkunye me la nasɔ gbɔ abe ɣletiviwo le dziŋgɔli ŋu kple ke le ƒuta ene.’”
Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”
23 Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
24 “Mède dzesii be ame siawo le gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Yehowa gbe fiaɖuƒe eve siwo wòtia’ la oa? Ale woɖe alɔme le dukɔ la ŋu eye womegabua wo abe dukɔ ene o.
“Have you not seen what this people has spoken? They say: ‘The two families which the Lord had chosen have been rejected.’ And so they have despised my people, as if they were no longer a nation in their sight.
25 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Nenye ɖe nyemebla nu kple ŋkeke kple zã o eye mede se na dziƒo kple anyigba o la,
Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with the day and the night, and my laws over heaven and earth,
26 ekema magbe Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo kple nye dɔla, David eye nyematia via ŋutsuwo dometɔ aɖeke be wòaɖu fia ɖe Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo dzi o, elabena matrɔ woƒe dzɔgbenyui na wo, eye makpɔ nublanui na wo.”
then truly I will also cast aside the offspring of Jacob, and of David, my servant, so that I do not take up any of his offspring to be leaders over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will lead back their turning away, and I will take pity on them.”
