1 Esia nye nya si va na Yeremia tso Yehowa gbɔ esi Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi le fia ɖum le Yuda.
Leli yilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo ekubuseni kukaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, elathi,
2 “Yi ɖe Rekabi ƒomea gbɔ, eye nàkpe wo ayi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔŋuxɔewo dometɔ ɖeka me eye nàku wain na wo woano.”
“Yana endlini yamaRekhabi uwabize ukuba eze kwelinye lamakamelo endlu kaThixo uwanike iwayini anathe.”
3 Ale meyi be mayɔ Yazania, Yeremia ƒe vi, Habazinia ƒe vi, nɔvia ŋutsuwo kple via ŋutsuwo kple Rekabi ƒomea katã.
Ngakho ngayathatha uJazaniya indodana kaJeremiya, indodana kaHabhaziniya, labafowabo kanye lamadodana akhe wonke lomuzi wonke wamaRekhabi.
4 Mekplɔ wo va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ mee eye míege ɖe Mawu ƒe ame, Igdalia ƒe vi, Hanan ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe xɔ me enye xɔ si te ɖe dɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe xɔ ŋu eye wòle agbonudzɔla, Salum ƒe vi Maaseya ƒe xɔ tame.
Ngabasa endlini kaThixo, ekamelweni lamadodana kaHanani indoda ka-Igidaliya umuntu kaNkulunkulu. Laliseduze lekamelo lezikhulu elalingaphezu kwelikaMaseya indodana kaShalumi umlindi wesango.
5 Tete metsɔ goe siwo wain yɔ banaa la kple kpluwo ɖo Rekabi ƒomea ƒe ŋutsuwo kɔme hegblɔ na wo be, “Mino wain.”
Emva kwalokho ngabeka imiganu eyayigcwele iwayini lezinkezo phambi kwabantu bomndeni wamaRekhabi, ngathi kubo, “Nathani iwayini.”
6 Gake woɖo eŋu nam be, “Míenoa wain o, elabena mía tɔgbuigã, Yonadab, Rekab ƒe vi de se sia na mí be, ‘Miawo ŋutɔwo loo, alo miaƒe dzidzimeviwo mekpɔ mɔ ano wain gbeɖe o.
Kodwa bona baphendula bathi, “Iwayini kasilinathi ngoba ukhokho wethu uJehonadabi indodana kaRekhabi wasinika umlayo lo othi: ‘Lina loba inzalo yenu akumelanga linathe iwayini.
7 Gawu la, miatu xɔwo, aƒã nuku alo ade waingble gbeɖe o; nu siawo ƒe ɖeke mekpɔ mɔ anɔ mia si o, ke boŋ mianɔ avɔgbadɔwo me ɣe sia ɣi. Ekema mianɔ agbe didi le anyigba la dzi, afi si mienye tsatsalawo le.’
Njalo lingakhi zindlu, lingahlanyeli kumbe lilime izivini; lingabi lokunye kwalezizinto, kodwa kumele lihlale emathenteni kokuphela. Ngalokho lizaphila isikhathi eside elizweni elizinzulane kulo.’
8 Míewɔ ɖe nu sia nu si ƒe se mía tɔgbuigã, Yehonadab, Rekab ƒe vi la de na mí la dzi. Míawo ŋutɔ loo alo mía srɔ̃nyɔnuwo, alo mia viŋutsuwo kple vinyɔnuwo meɖɔ wain kpɔ,
Sakulalela konke ukhokho wethu uJehonadabi indodana kaRekhabi asilaya khona. Thina labomkethu lamadodana ethu kanye lamadodakazi ethu asikaze silinathe iwayini,
9 alo tu xɔwo be mianɔ wo me, alo de waingble, agblewo, alo xa nukuwo kpɔ o.
kumbe sakhe izindlu zokuhlala kuzo loba sibe lezivini, amasimu kumbe amabele.
10 Agbadɔxɔwo me koe míenɔna eye míewɔ ɖe se siwo katã mía tɔgbuigã, Yonadab de na mí la dzi.
Sihlala emathenteni njalo siyakulalela konke ukhokho wethu uJehonadabi asilaya khona.
11 Gake esi Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar va dze anyigba sia dzi la, míegblɔ be, ‘Miva míayi ɖe Yerusalem, ne míasi le Babilonia kple Aramea ƒe aʋakɔwo nu.’ Ale míetsi Yerusalem.”
Kodwa ekuhlaseleni kukaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ilizwe leli, sathi, ‘Wozani siye eJerusalema sibalekele amabutho amaKhaladiya kanye lawama-Aramu.’ Sahlala kanjalo eJerusalema.”
12 Tete Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kuJeremiya lisithi:
13 “Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Yi nàgblɔ na Yuda ŋutsuwo kple Yerusalem nɔlawo be, ‘Miele nu srɔ̃ ge awɔ ɖe nye nyawo dzi oa?’ Yehowae gblɔe.
“UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Hamba uyetshela abantu bakoJuda labahlala eJerusalema ukuthi, ‘Kalifundi sifundo lilalele amazwi ami na?’ kutsho uThixo.
14 ‘Yehonadab, Rekab ƒe vi de se na via ŋutsuwo be womegano wain o, eye wolé eƒe sea me ɖe asi. Va se ɖe egbeŋkekea dzi womenoa wain o, elabena wolé wo tɔgbui ƒe sea me ɖe asi. Gake nye ya meƒo nu na mi edziedzi, ke miegbe toɖoɖom.
‘UJehonadabi indodana kaRekhabi walaya amadodana akhe ukuba anganathi iwayini, njalo umlayo lo wagcinwa. Kuze kube lamhla iwayini kabalinathi ngoba balalela umlayo kakhokho wabo. Kodwa mina sengakhuluma lani njalonjalo, kodwa kalingilalelanga.
15 Meɖo nye dɔla nyagblɔɖilawo ɖe mi enuenu, wogblɔ na mi be. “Mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe netrɔ tso eƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi ne wòaɖɔ eƒe agbenɔnɔ ɖo eye migadze mawu tutɔwo yome be miasubɔ wo o. Ekema mianɔ anyigba si metsɔ na mi kple mia fofowo la dzi.” Gake mietsɔ ɖeke le eme alo ɖo tom o.
Ngathuma izinceku zami abaphrofethi kini kanenginengi. Bathi, “Ngamunye wenu kumele liphenduke ezindleleni zenu ezimbi lilungise lezenzo zenu; lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukuba libakhonze. Ngalokho lizahlala elizweni engalipha lona lina labokhokho benu.” Kodwa kalinakanga, njalo kalingilalelanga.
16 Rekab ƒe vi, Yehonadab, ƒe dzidzimeviwo wɔ ɖe se si wo tɔgbui de na wo la dzi, ke dukɔ sia ya meɖo tom o.’
Inzalo kaJehonadabi indodana kaRekhabi iwulandele umlayo eyawuphiwa ngukhokho wayo, kodwa abantu laba mina kabangilalelanga.’
17 “Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miɖo to! Mahe gbegblẽ si meɖe gbeƒãe la ava Yuda kple ame sia ame si le Yerusalem la dzi. Meƒo nu na wo, gake womeɖo tom o meyɔ wo gake wometɔ o.’”
Ngakho uThixo, uNkulunkulu uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi; ‘Lalelani, ngizakwehlisela phezu kukaJuda laphezu komuntu wonke ohlala eJerusalema wonke umonakalo engabathembisa wona. Ngabatshela, kodwa kabalalelanga; ngababiza, kodwa kabasabelanga.’”
18 Ale Yeremia gblɔ na Rekabi ƒomea be, “Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye si, ‘Miewɔ ɖe mia tɔgbui Yehonadab ƒe sedede dzi eye miewɔ ɖe eƒe ɖoɖowo kple nu siwo katã wòɖo anyi na mi la dzi.’
UJeremiya wasesithi kwabomndeni wamaRekhabi, “UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Liwulalele umlayo kakhokho wenu uJehonadabi layilandela yonke imfundiso yakhe njalo lenza konke alilaya khona.’
19 Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Yonadab, Rekab ƒe vi magbe ame si asubɔe la kpɔkpɔ gbeɖe o.’”
Ngakho uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UJehonadabi indodana kaRekhabi kayikuswela umuntu wokungikhonza.’”
