1 Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Yeremia esi aʋafia Nebuzaradan ɖe asi le eŋu le Rama. Eva ke ɖe Yeremia ŋu wode gae kpe ɖe aboyome siwo wokplɔ tso Yerusalem kple Yuda yina ɖe aboyo mee le Babilonia la ŋu.
Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini emva kokuthi uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi esemyekele wahamba esuka eRama, esemthethe ebotshiwe ngamaketane phakathi kwabo bonke ababethunjwe eJerusalema lakoJuda, abasiwa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni.
2 Esi aʋafia la ke ɖe Yeremia ŋu la, egblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa, wò Mawu lae gblɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia ɖe teƒe sia ŋu.
Induna yabalindi yasimthatha uJeremiya yathi kuye: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, yakhuluma lokhu okubi ngalindawo.
3 Ke azɔ la, Yehowa na wòva eme tututu abe ale si wògblɔe la ene. Esia katã va eme elabena mi ame siawo miewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu eye mieɖo toe o.
INkosi isikulethile yakwenza njengokutsho kwayo, ngoba lonile eNkosini, kalilalelanga ilizwi layo; ngakho loludaba lwenzakele kini.
4 Ke egbe la, meɖe ga le alɔnu na wò, ne elɔ̃ la, kplɔm ɖo míayi Babilonia, makpɔ dziwò nyuie, gake ne melɔ̃ o la, ate ŋu anɔ anyi faa. Kpɔ ɖa, anyigba blibo la le ŋkuwò me, yi afi sia afi si nèlɔ̃ la faa.”
Khathesi-ke, khangela, lamuhla ngiyakukhulula kulamaketane asezandleni zakho. Uba kukuhle emehlweni akho ukuya lami eBhabhiloni, woza, ngimise ilihlo lami phezu kwakho; kodwa uba kukubi emehlweni akho ukuya lami eBhabhiloni, yekela. Bona, ilizwe lonke liphambi kwakho; lapho kukuhle kuqondile emehlweni akho ukuhamba, hamba uye khona.
5 Gake hafi Yeremia natrɔ be yeadzo la, Nebuzaradan gblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu nɛ be, “Trɔ yi ɖe Gedalia, Ahikam ƒe vi, Safan ƒe vi ame si Babilonia fia tsɔ ɖo Yuda duwo nu la gbɔ eye nànɔ egbɔ le ameawo dome alo nàyi afi sia afi si nèlɔ.” Emegbe aʋafia la tsɔ nu hiahiã aɖewo kple nunana aɖe nɛ eye wòɖe asi le eŋu.
Kodwa engakabuyeli, wathi: Buyela kuGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, emmisileyo inkosi yeBhabhiloni abe phezu kwemizi yakoJuda, uhlale laye phakathi kwabantu; kumbe loba kungaphi lapho kuqondile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, hamba. Ngakho induna yabalindi yasimnika umphako lesipho, yamyekela ukuthi ahambe.
6 Ale Yeremia yi ɖe Ahikam ƒe vi, Gedalia gbɔ le Mizpa eye wònɔ egbɔ le ame siwo susɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi la dome.
Ngakho uJeremiya wafika kuGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu eMizipa, wahlala laye phakathi kwabantu ababesele elizweni.
7 Esi asrafowo ƒe amegã siwo le aʋagbedzi se be Babilonia fia tsɔ Ahikam ƒe vi, Gedalia ɖo mɔmefiae ɖe anyigba la dzi, hetsɔ ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo, ame siwo nye ame dahewo eye womekplɔ wo yi aboyo mee le Babilonia o la de eƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te la,
Kwathi zonke induna zamabutho ezazisegangeni, zona kanye lamadoda azo, besizwa ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni ibekile uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu abe phezu kwelizwe, lokuthi inikele kuye amadodana labesifazana labantwana, lakwabangabayanga belizwe, kulabo ababengathunjelwanga eBhabhiloni,
8 wova Gedalia gbɔ le Mizpa. Ameawoe nye Ismael, Netania ƒe vi; Yohanan kple Yonatan, Karea ƒe viŋutsuwo; Seraya, Tanhumet ƒe vi; Efai Netofatitɔ viŋutsuwo kple Yazania, Makatitɔ ƒe vi kple wo ŋutimewo.
khona beza kuGedaliya eMizipa, oIshmayeli, indodana kaNethaniya, loJohanani, loJonathani, amadodana kaKareya, loSeraya, indodana kaTanihumethi, lamadodana kaEfayi, umNetofa, loJezaniya, indodana yomMahakathi, bona lamadoda abo.
9 Gedalia, Ahikam ƒe vi, Safan ƒe vi, ka atam na wo kple wo ŋutimewo be wòaɖo kpe nu si wòagblɔ la dzi: Egblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ na Babiloniatɔwo subɔsubɔ o, mitsi anyigba la dzi eye miasubɔ Babilonia fia, ekema nu sia nu adze edzi na mi nyuie.
UGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, wasefunga kibo lamadoda abo, esithi: Lingesabi ukusebenzela amaKhaladiya; hlalani elizweni, liyisebenzele inkosi yeBhabhiloni; khona kuzalilungela.
10 Nye ŋutɔ manɔ Mizpa, be manɔ mia teƒe le Babiloniatɔ siwo va mia gbɔ la ŋkume. Ke miawo la, mixa wain tsetsewo, dzomeŋɔli ƒe kutsetsewo eye miɖa ami, miazi wo ɖe amigowo me eye minɔ du siwo míexɔ la me.”
Khangelani-ke, mina ngihlala eMizipa ukuma phambi kobuso bamaKhaladiya azafika kithi; kodwa lina buthani iwayini lezithelo zehlobo lamafutha, likufake ezitsheni zenu, lihlale emizini yenu eliyithetheyo.
11 Esi Yudatɔ siwo katã le Moab, Amon, Edom kple du bubuwo me se bena Babilonia fia gblẽ ame aɖewo ɖe Yuda eye wòtsɔ Ahikam ƒe vi, Safan ƒe vi, Gedalia ɖo mɔmefiae ɖe wo nu la,
Futhi, lapho wonke amaJuda ayekoMowabi laphakathi kwabantwana bakoAmoni leEdoma lawayekuwo wonke amazwe esezwile ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni itshiyile insali yakoJuda, lokuthi yabeka phezu kwabo uGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani;
12 wo katã wotrɔ gbɔ va Yudanyigba dzi, tso du siwo me wokaka ɖo la heva ƒo ta kpli ɖe Gedalia gbɔ le Mizpa. Woyi ɖaxa waintsetse gbogbo aɖewo kple dzomeŋɔli ƒe kutsetsewo.
wonke amaJuda asebuya esuka endaweni zonke ayexotshelwe khona, eza elizweni lakoJuda, kuGedaliya eMizipa; abutha iwayini lezithelo zehlobo, kwaba kunengi kakhulu.
13 Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple asrafomegã siwo gale gbea dzi la va Gedalia gbɔ le Mizpa
UJohanani indodana kaKareya lazo zonke induna zamabutho ayesegangeni basebesiza kuGedaliya eMizipa,
14 eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Mènya be Amonitɔwo ƒe fia Balis dɔ Netania ƒe vi, Ismael be wòava ɖe wò agbe ɖa oa?” Ke Ahikam ƒe vi, Gedalia mexɔ woƒe nya la dzi se o.
bathi kuye: Uyakwazi isibili yini ukuthi uBhahalisi inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni uthume uIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ukukutshaya empilweni? Kodwa uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu kabakholwanga.
15 Tete Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan ɖe kpɔ Gedalia le Mizpa hegblɔ nɛ be, “Na mayi aɖawu Netania ƒe vi, Ismael eye ame aɖeke manya o. Nu ka ta wòaɖe wò agbe ɖa, ahawɔe be Yudatɔ siwo katã ƒo ta kpli ɖe ŋuwò la nakaka eye Yuda ƒe ame mamlɛawo natsrɔ̃?”
UJohanani indodana kaKareya wasekhuluma loGedaliya ensitha eMizipa esithi: Ake ungiyekele ngihambe ngiyetshaya uIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, kungabi lamuntu okwaziyo. Uzakutshayelani empilweni, ukuze bahlakazeke bonke abakoJuda ababuthene kuwe, kubhubhe insali yakoJuda?
16 Ke Gedalia, Ahikam ƒe vi, ɖo eŋu na Yohanan, Karea ƒe vi la be, “Mègawɔ nenema o! Nya si gblɔm nèle la nye alakpa nèle dadam ɖe Ismael si.”
Kodwa uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu wathi kuJohanani indodana kaKareya: Ungayenzi le indaba, ngoba uqamba amanga ngoIshmayeli.
