Zonke izikhulu zebutho, kanye loJohanani indodana kaKhareya loJezaniya indodana kaHoshayiya, labantu bonke kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu baya
2 gblɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia be, “Míeɖe kuku na wò, se míaƒe kokoƒoƒo eye nàdo gbe ɖa na Yehowa, wò Mawu la ɖe ameha mamlɛawo ta elabena abe ale si nèle ekpɔmii fifia ene la, togbɔ be miesɔ gbɔ tsã hã la, azɔ la, ame ʋɛ aɖewo koe susɔ.
kuJeremiya umphrofethi bathi kuye, “Ake uzwe isicelo sethu ubakhulekele bonke laba abaseleyo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho. Ngoba njengoba lawe uzibonela khathesi, lanxa sake saba banengi khathesi kusele abalutshwana kuphela.
3 Ɖe kuku na Yehowa, wò Mawu la be wòafia afi si míayi kple nu si míawɔ la mí.”
Khuleka ukuba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho asitshele lapho okumele siye khona lalokho okumele sikwenze.”
4 Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mese nya si miegblɔ; kpɔ ɖa, maɖe kuku na Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la abe ale si miebia ene, magblɔ nya sia nya si wògblɔ nam la na mi eye nyemaɣla ɖeke ɖe mi o.”
UJeremiya umphrofethi waphendula wathi, “Ngizwile. Ngizakhuleka impela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njengoba licelile; ngizalitshela konke uThixo akutshoyo ngingalifihleli lutho.”
5 Wogblɔ na Yeremia be, “Ɖekoe Yehowa nanye ɖasefo anukwaretɔ kple nuteƒewɔla ɖe mía ŋu ne míewɔ ɖe nu sia nu si Yehowa, wò Mawu la dɔ wò be nàgblɔ na mí la dzi o.
Basebesithi kuJeremiya, “UThixo kabe ngufakazi wethu oqotho lothembekileyo nxa singenzi okuvumelana lakho konke uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akuthuma ukuba usitshele khona.
6 Eɖanye nya nyui alo nya vɔ̃ o, míaɖo to Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ame si gbɔ míele dɔwòm ɖo, be eme nanyo na mí, elabena míaɖo to Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la.”
Lanxa kukuhle kumbe kukubi sizamlalela uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu esikuthuma kuye, ukuze kusilungele, ngoba sizamlalela uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.”
7 Le ŋkeke ewo megbe la, Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia.
Emva kwensuku ezilitshumi ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJeremiya.
8 Ale wòyɔ Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple asrafomegã siwo katã le eŋu kple ameha la katã tso ɖeviwo dzi yi ɖe tsitsiawo dzi.
Ngakho wabiza uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lezikhulu zonke zebutho ezazilaye kanye labantu bonke kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu.
9 Egblɔ na wo be, “Ale Yehowa Israel ƒe Mawu la, ame si gbɔ miedom ɖo be matsɔ miaƒe kokoƒoƒo nɛ la gblɔe nye esi:
Wathi kubo, “UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, elingithume ukuba ngiyekwethula isicelo senu kuye, uthi:
10 ‘Ne mienɔ anyigba sia dzi la, matu mi eye nyemagbã mi o, mado mi eye nyemaho mi o, elabena gbegblẽ si mehe va mia dzii la vem ŋutɔ.
‘Lingahlala kulelilizwe ngizalakha, ngingalibhidlizi, ngizalihlanyela ngingalisiphuni, ngoba ngilusizi ngomonakalo engawenza kini.
11 Migavɔ̃ na Babilonia fia si vɔ̃m miele fifia o. Yehowa be migavɔ̃ nɛ o, elabena meli kpli mi be maxɔ na mi eye maɖe mi tso eƒe asi me.
Lingayesabi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, eliyesabayo khathesi. Lingayesabi, kutsho uThixo, ngoba ngilani njalo ngizalihlenga ngilikhulule ezandleni zayo.
12 Makpɔ nublanui na mi, be eya hã nakpɔ nublanui na mi eye wòaɖo mi te le miaƒe anyigba dzi.’
Ngizakuba lesihawu kini ukuze layo ibe lesihawu kini ilibuyisele elizweni lakini.’
13 “Ke ne miegblɔ be, ‘míanɔ anyigba sia dzi o,’ miegbe toɖoɖo Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la
Kodwa lina lingathi, ‘Kasiyikuhlala kulelizwe,’ ngalokho lingalaleli uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu,
14 eye ne miegblɔ be, ‘Gbeɖe, míayi aɖanɔ Egipte, afi si míakpɔ aʋa teƒe le, ase kpẽ ƒe ɖiɖi loo, alo abolo mahiã mí le o la,’
njalo nxa lisithi, ‘Hatshi, thina sizakuyahlala eGibhithe lapho esingayikubona khona impi loba sizwe icilongo kumbe silambele ukudla,
15 ekema mise Yehowa ƒe nya, ‘O mi ame siwo susɔ ɖe Yuda, ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Ne mieɖoe kplikpaa be yewoayi Egipte, eye mieyi ɖanɔ afi ma la,
zwanini-ke ilizwi likaThixo, lina abasele koJuda.’ UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Nxa liphitshekela ukuya eGibhithe njalo lihambe ukuyahlala khona,
16 ekema yi si miele vɔvɔ̃m na la ava tu mi le afi ma eye dɔwuame si le ŋɔ dzim na mi la hã akplɔ mi ɖo ayi Egipte, afi mae miaku ɖo.
lapho-ke inkemba eliyesabayo izalifica khona, lendlala eliyesabayo izalilandela eGibhithe, njalo lizafela khonale.
17 Le nyateƒe me, ame siwo katã ɖoe kplikpaa be yewoaɖanɔ Egipte la aku ɖe yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ ƒe asi me, wo dometɔ aɖeke matsi agbe alo asi le gbegblẽ si mahe va wo dzii la nu o.”’
Ngempela bonke abaphitshekela ukuya eGibhithe ukuba bahlale khona bazakufa ngenkemba, indlala lesifo; kakho lamunye wabo ozasinda loba aphephe kumonakalo engizabehlisela wona.’
18 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Abe ale si wotrɔ nye dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ kɔ ɖe ame siwo nɔ Yerusalem dzii ene la, nenema kee woatrɔ nye dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ la akɔ ɖe mia dzii ne mieyi ɖe Egipte. Miazu ɖiŋudonu, ŋɔdzinu, atamkanu kple alɔmeɖenu eye miagakpɔ teƒe sia akpɔ gbeɖe o.’
UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi, ‘Njengalokhu ukuthukuthela kwami lolaka lwami kwehliselwa phezu kwabantu abahlala eJerusalema, ngokunjalo ulaka lwami luzakwehliselwa phezu kwenu lapho lisiya eGibhithe. Lizakuba yinto yokuthukwa lokwesatshwa, ukulahlwa lokuhlekwa; indawo le kaliyikuyibona futhi.’
19 “O Yuda ƒe ame mamlɛawo, Yehowa gblɔ na mi be, ‘Migayi Egipte o.’ Nenɔ nyanya me na mi, be egbe mexlɔ̃ nu mi, be
Lina abasele koJuda, uThixo ulitshelile wathi, ‘Lingayi eGibhithe.’ Wobani leqiniso lalokhu ukuthi: Ngiyalixwayisa lamuhla
20 miewɔ vodada gã aɖe, esi miedɔm ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la gbɔ hegblɔ be, ‘Ɖe kuku na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la na mí; gblɔ nu sia nu si wòagblɔ na wò la na mí eye míawɔ ɖe edzi.’
ukuthi lenza iphutha elikhulu kakhulu ngokungithuma kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lisithi, ‘Sikhulekele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu; usitshele konke akutshoyo sizakwenza.’
21 Megblɔe na mi egbe gake miewɔ ɖe nu siwo katã Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la gblɔ nam be magblɔ na mi la dzi haɖe o.
Sengilitshelile lamuhla, kodwa lilokhu lingalaleli lokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu angithume ukuthi ngilitshele khona.
22 Eya ta azɔ maka ɖe edzi na mi be miaku ɖe yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ ƒe asi me, le teƒe si mieɖo be yewoayi aɖanɔ.”
Ngakho khathesi wobani leqiniso ukuthi lizakufa ngenkemba, indlala lesifo endaweni elifuna ukuyahlala kuyo.”
