17 Gake maɖe wò gbe ma gbe eye womatsɔ wò ade asi na ame siwo vɔ̃m nèle la o. Yehowae gblɔe.
But I wil deliuer thee in that day, saith the Lord, and thou shalt not be giuen into the hand of the men whome thou fearest.
18 Maɖe wò agbe elabena ètsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dzinye. Yehowae gblɔe.’”
For I will surely deliuer thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sworde, but thy life shall be for a praye vnto thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, sayth the Lord.
