Yeremia 37
1 Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar tsɔ Yosia ƒe vi, Zedekia ɖo fiae ɖe Yuda, ɖe Yehoyakim ƒe vi, Yehoyatsin teƒe.
And kyng Sedechie, the sone of Josie, regnede for Jeconye, the sone of Joachym, whom Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, made kyng in the lond of Juda.
2 Ke eya loo, alo eƒe dɔlawo alo ame siwo le anyigba dzi la meɖo to nya siwo Yehowa gblɔ to Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia dzi o.
And he, and hise seruauntis, and his puple obeieden not to the wordis of the Lord, whiche he spak in the hond of Jeremye, the profete.
3 Ke hã la, Fia Zedekia dɔ Yehukal, Selemia ƒe vi kple nunɔla Zefania, Maaseya vi ɖo ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia gbɔ be woagblɔ nɛ be: “Míeɖe kuku, do gbe ɖa na Yehowa míaƒe Mawu la ɖe mía ta.”
And kyng Sedechie sente Jothal, the sone of Selemye, and Sofonye, the preest, the sone of Maasie, to Jeremye, the profete, and seide, Preie thou for vs oure Lord God.
4 Ke azɔ la, ablɔɖe le Yeremia si be wòado ɖe dukɔ la dome agagbɔ, elabena womedee gaxɔ me haɖeke o.
Forsothe Jeremye yede freli in the myddis of the puple; for thei hadden not sente hym in to the kepyng of the prisoun.
5 Farao ƒe aʋakɔwo ho tso Egipte eye esi Babiloniatɔ siwo ɖe to ɖe Yerusalem se esia la, woho dzo le Yerusalem.
Therfor the oost of Farao yede out of Egipt, and Caldeis, that bisegiden Jerusalem, herden sich a message, and yeden awei fro Jerusalem.
6 Yehowa ƒe nya va na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia be,
And the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye, the profete,
7 “Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Gblɔ na Yuda fia, ame si dɔ wò be nàbia gbem la be, ‘Farao ƒe aʋakɔ siwo ho be woava akpe ɖe ŋutiwò la agbugbɔ ayi ɖe Egipte, woƒe anyigba dzi.
and seide, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Thus ye schulen seie to the kyng of Juda, that sente you to axe me, Lo! the oost of Farao, which yede out to you in to help, schal turne ayen in to his lond, in to Egipt.
8 Ekema Babiloniatɔwo atrɔ gbɔ, ava dze du sia dzi, axɔe ahatɔ dzoe wòabi azu dzowɔ.’
And Caldeis schulen come ayen, and schulen fiyte ayens this citee, and schulen take it, and schulen brenne it bi fier.
9 “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Migable mia ɖokuiwo, asusu be, ‘Babiloniatɔwo aɖe asi le yewo ŋuti o.’ Womaɖe asi o!
The Lord seith these thingis, Nyle ye disseyue youre soulis, seiynge, Caldeis goynge schulen go a wey, and schulen departe fro vs; for thei schulen not go a wei.
10 Kura gɔ̃ hã, ne miaɖu Babiloniatɔ siwo ho aʋa ɖe mia ŋu la ƒe aʋakɔwo katã dzi eye abixɔlawo koe asusɔ ɖe woƒe asaɖa me hã la, woado ava xɔ du sia atɔ dzoe.”
But thouy ye sleen al the oost of Caldeis, that fiyten ayens you, and summe woundid men of hem be left, ech man schal rise fro his tente, and thei schulen brenne this citee bi fier.
11 Esi Babiloniatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo ho dzo le Yerusalem, le Farao ƒe aʋakɔwo ta la,
Therfor whanne the oost of Caldeis hadde goon awei fro Jerusalem, for the oost of Farao, Jeremye yede out of Jerusalem,
12 Yeremia do le dua me be yeayi ɖe Benyaminyigba dzi be yeaxɔ yeƒe gome ɖe ame siwo le afi ma la dome.
to go in to the lond of Beniamyn, and to departe there the possessioun in the siyt of citeseyns.
13 Gake esi wòɖo Benyamin ƒe Agbo nu la, agbonudzɔlawo ƒe amegã si ŋkɔe nye; Iriya, Selemia ƒe vi, Hananiya ƒe vi, lée hegblɔ be, “Èsi, be yeayi ɖe Babiloniatɔwo dzi!”
And whanne he was comun to the yate of Beniamyn, ther was a kepere of the yate bi whiles, Jerie bi name, the sone of Selemye, sone of Ananye; and he took Jeremye, the prophete, and seide, Thou fleest to Caldeis.
14 Yeremia ɖo eŋu be, “Alakpae, nyemele sisim be mayi ɖe Babiloniatɔwo dzi o.” Ke Iriya gbe meɖo toe o, ke boŋ elé Yeremia eye wòkplɔe yi ɖe dumegãwo gbɔe.
And Jeremye answeride, It is fals; Y fle not to Caldeis. And he herde not Jeremye, but Jerie took Jeremye, and brouyte hym to the princes.
15 Wodo dziku ɖe Yeremia ŋu vevie, wona woƒoe hetsɔe de ga me ɖe agbalẽŋlɔla Yonatan ƒe aƒe si wotsɔ wɔ gaxɔe la me.
Wherfor the princes weren wrooth ayens Jeremye, and beeten hym, and senten hym in to the prisoun, that was in the hous of Jonathas, the scryuen; for he was souereyn on the prisoun.
16 Ale wotsɔ Yeremia de gaxɔ dometɔ si sesẽ hedo viviti la me, afi si wònɔ ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe.
Therfor Jeremye entride in to the hous of the lake, and in to the prisoun of trauel; and Jeremye sat there manye daies.
17 Tete Fia Zedekia dɔ ame ɖa be woaɖakplɔe vɛ eye wokplɔe va fiasã la mee, afi si wòbiae le, le bebeme be, “Gbe aɖe va tso Yehowa gbɔa?” Yeremia ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, woakplɔ wò ade asi na Babilonia fia.”
Therfor kyng Sedechie sente, and took hym a wei, and axide hym priuyli in his hous, and seide, Gessist thou, whether a word is of the Lord? And Jeremye seide, Ther is. And Jeremye seide, Thou schalt be bitakun in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne.
18 Tete Yeremia gblɔ na Fia Zedekia be, “Agɔ kae medze le dziwò, wò dumegãwo alo ame siawo dzi, be nètsɔm de gaxɔ me?
And Jeremye seide to Sedechie, the kyng, What haue Y synned to thee, and to thi seruauntis, and to thi puple, for thou hast sent me in to the hous of prisoun?
19 Afi ka wò nyagblɔɖila siwo gblɔ nya ɖi na wò be, ‘Babilonia fia mava dze dziwò alo anyigba sia dzi o la le?’
Where ben youre profetis, that profesieden to you, and seiden, The king of Babiloyne schal not come on you, and on this lond?
20 Ke azɔ la, nye aƒetɔ fia, meɖe kuku, ɖo to nàsee. Na matsɔ nye biabia aɖo ŋkuwòme: Mègatrɔm ɖo ɖe agbalẽŋlɔla Yonatan ƒe aƒe me o, ne menye nenema o la, maku ɖe afi ma.”
Now therfor, my lord the kyng, Y biseche, here thou, my preier be worth in thi siyt, and sende thou not me ayen in to the hous of Jonathas, the scryuen, lest Y die there.
21 Tete fia Zedekia ɖe gbe be, woatsɔ Yeremia ada ɖe dzɔlawo ƒe xɔxɔnu eye woatsɔ abolo ɖeka nɛ gbe sia gbe tso aboloƒolawo ƒe ablɔ me, va se ɖe esime abolo vɔ le dua me. Ale Yeremia tsi dzɔlawo ƒe xɔxɔnu.
Therfor Sedechie comaundide, that Jeremye schulde be bitakun in to the porche of the prisoun, and that a cake of breed schulde be youun to hym ech dai, outakun seew, til alle looues of the citee weren wastid; and Jeremye dwellide in the porche of the prisoun.
