1 Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si va na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia tso dukɔwo ŋuti.
Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya umphrofethi mayelana lezizwe:
2 Tso Egipte ŋu: Esia nye gbedeasi na Egipte fia Farao Neko ƒe aʋakɔwo, ame siwo dzi Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ɖu le Frat tɔsisi la nu le Karkemis le Yuda fia, Yehoyakim, Yosia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enelia me:
Mayelana leGibhithe: Leli yilizwi elimayelana lebutho likaFaro Nekho inkosi yaseGibhithe, elanqotshwayo eKharikhemishi emfuleni iYufrathe nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda:
3 “Midzra miaƒe akpoxɔnu gãtɔwo kple suetɔwo ɖo eye miado ayi ɖe aʋa!
“Lungisani amahawu enu, amakhulu lamancane, liphume liye empini.
4 Mitsi sɔwo ɖe tasiaɖamwo ŋu eye miade sɔwo dzi! Miɖɔ gakukuwo, mido mia tɔ ɖe mia nɔƒewo! Minyre miaƒe akplɔwo eye miado miaƒe gawuwo!
Bophani amabhiza, liwagade! Manini ezindaweni zenu lilezingowane zenu! Lolani imikhonto yenu, ligqoke impahla zempi!
5 Nu ka kpɔm mele? Dzidzi ƒo wo, wogbugbɔ ɖe megbe, woɖu woƒe kalẽtɔwo dzi. Wosi kple du kple du megbemakpɔmakpɔtɔe eye ŋɔdzi ƒo xlã wo godoo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Kuyini engikubonayo? Bayesaba, bahlehlela emuva, amabutho abo ehlulwe. Abaleka ngesiqubu anganyemukuli, njalo kulokwesaba izindawo zonke,” kutsho uThixo.
6 “Afɔ ɖeablɛtɔ mate ŋu asi alo ŋusẽtɔ naɖe eɖokui o. Le anyiehe, le Frat tɔsisi la to, afi mae wokli nu hedze anyi ɖo.
“Olejubane kasoze abaleke kumbe olamandla aphephe. Ngasenyakatho, emfuleni iYufrathe bayakhubeka bawe.
7 “Ame kae nye esi gbɔna le eɖokui kɔm ɖe dzi abe Nil kple tɔsisi siwo me tsi le sisim sesĩe ene?
Ngubani lo ophakama njengeNayili, njengemifula elamanzi agubhazelayo na?
8 Egipte le kɔkɔm ɖe dzi abe Nil kple tɔsisi siwo me tsi le sisim kplakplakpla ene, egblɔ be, ‘Maɖo axɔ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi; matsrɔ̃ amewo kple woƒe duwo.’
IGibhithe liphakama njengeNayili, njengemifula elamanzi agubhazelayo. Lithi: ‘Ngizaphakama ngembese umhlaba; ngizachitha amadolobho labantu bawo.’
9 O, sɔwo, milũ ɖe wo dzi! O, tasiaɖamkulawo, miku wo kple ŋkubiã! O, kalẽtɔwo, mizɔ yi ŋgɔ tẽe, eye mi Kus kple Put ŋutsu siwo tsɔa akpoxɔnuwo kple Lidia ŋutsu siwo daa aŋutrɔ nyuie!
Hlaselani, lina mabhiza! Qhubekani ngentukuthelo, lina zinqola zempi! Yanini phambili, lina mabutho, madoda aseKhushi lawePhuthi, aphatha amahawu, madoda aseLudi agoba idandili.
10 Gake gbe ma gbe nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la tɔ, hlɔ̃biaŋkeke wòanye, ne wòabia hlɔ̃ eƒe futɔwo. Yi aɖu nu va se ɖe esime wòaɖi ƒo eye ano ʋu va se ɖe esi me wòaɖi kɔ elabena Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, asa vɔ le anyiehenyigba dzi, le Frat tɔsisi la to.
Kodwa usuku lolo ngolweNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, usuku lokuphindisela, olokuphindisela ezitheni zakhe. Inkemba izakudla ize isuthe, ize icitshe ukoma kwayo ngegazi. Ngoba iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla uzanikela umhlatshelo elizweni lasenyakatho ngasemfuleni iYufrathe.
11 “O, ɖetugbi dzadzɛ, Egipte vinyɔnu, yi ɖe Gilead nàƒle dɔyɔmi. Dzodzroe nèli kɔ atikewo gleglegle, elabena màhaya akpɔ o.
Yana eGiliyadi uyethatha umuthi wokwelapha, wena Ndodakazi egcweleyo yaseGibhithe. Kodwa imithi uyandisela ize; akukho kusila kuwe.
12 Dukɔwo ase wò ŋukpeŋkɔ eye wò ɣlidodo axɔ anyigba la dzi. Kalẽtɔ akli nɔvia kalẽtɔ eye wo kple eve la siaa woadze anyi.”
Izizwe zizakuzwa ngehlazo lakho; ukukhala kwakho kuzagcwala umhlaba. Elinye ibutho lizakhubeka kwelinye; womabili azawela phansi ndawonye.”
13 Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si wòtsɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia tso ale si Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ava dze Egipte dzi la ŋuti.
Leli yilizwi uThixo alikhuluma kuJeremiya umphrofethi ngokuza kukaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ukuba ahlasele iGibhithe:
14 “Miɖe gbeƒã le Egipte, mido kpoe le Migdol eye mido kpoe le Memfis kple Tapanhes hã. ‘Mitso miadzra ɖo, ne mianɔ mia nɔƒewo elabena yi wu ame siwo ƒo xlã mi godoo.’
“Memezelani lokhu eGibhithe, likubike laseMigidoli; kumemezeleni njalo laseMemfisi laseThahiphanesi lithi: ‘Manini ezindaweni zenu lilunge, ngoba inkemba idla abakhelene lani.’
15 Nu ka ŋuti woana wò kalẽtɔwo naɖo baba ɖe anyigba? Womate ŋu anɔ te o, elabena Yehowa atutu wo aƒu anyi.
Amabutho enu azabulawelwani na? Angeke ame, ngoba uThixo uzawalahlela phansi.
16 Woakli nu enuenu eye woadze anyi ɖe wo nɔewo dzi. Woagblɔ be, ‘Mitso, mina míatrɔ ayi míaƒe amewo gbɔ, le mía denyigba dzi eye míasi le ameteɖeanyila ƒe yi nu.’
Azakhubeka kokuphela; azakuwa elekane. Azakuthi, ‘Vukani, kasibuyeleni emuva ebantwini bakithi lasemazweni akithi, kude kwenkemba yomncindezeli.’
17 Afi ma woado ɣli le be, ‘Egipte fia Farao nye ɣli ƒuƒlu dola; eƒe mɔnukpɔkpɔ to eta va yi.’”
Khonale bazamemeza bathi, ‘UFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe ingumsindo omkhulu nje kuphela; uselahlekelwe lithuba lakhe.’
18 Ale fia si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔe nye esi: “Meta nye agbe be ame aɖe ava abe Tabɔr le towo dome kple Karmel le atsiaƒu to ene.
Ngeqiniso elinjengokuthi ngikhona,” kutsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguThixo uSomandla, “kuzafika omunye onjengoThabhori phakathi kwezintaba, njengoKhameli ngasolwandle.
19 Miƒo ƒu miaƒe nuwo na aboyomeyiyi, mi ame siwo le Egipte, elabena Memfis azu aƒedo eye woagbãe gudugudu be ame manɔ eme o.
Lungisani impahla zekuthunjweni, lina abahlala eGibhithe, ngoba iMemfisi izadilizwa ibe lunxiwa olungahlali muntu.
20 “Egipte le abe nyinɔ sue dzeani ene gake togbato tso anyiehe gbɔna ɖe edzi dze ge.
IGibhithe ilithokazi elihle, kodwa isibawu siyeza silisongela sivela enyakatho.
21 Asrafo siwo wotsɔ aʋae la le abe nyivi damiwo ene. Woawo hã atrɔ megbe asi adzo, womate ŋu anɔ te o, elabena woƒe gbegblẽ gbɔna eye woƒe tohegbe va ɖo.
Amabutho okuqatshwa aphakathi kwalo anjengamathole anonisiweyo. Lawo azaphenduka abaleke endawonye, kawayikuma, ngoba usuku lomonakalo luyeza phezu kwabo, isikhathi sabo sokujeziswa.
22 Ne futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ho gbɔna la, Egipte axlɔ̃ abe da si le sisim ene, woatso ɖe eŋu kple fia abe ŋutsu siwo lãa ati ene.
IGibhithe izakhwaza njengenyoka ebalekayo lapho isitha sisondela ngobunengi baso; sizayihlasela ngamahloka okwabantu abagamula izihlahla.
23 Togbɔ be eƒe avewo do ale gbegbe hã la, woalã wo akɔ ɖi. Ameawo sɔ gbɔ wu ʋetsuviwo eye womate ŋu axlẽ wo o. Yehowae gblɔe.
Sizagamula amahlathi ayo,” kutsho uThixo, “lanxa eminyene kanjani. Banengi kulentethe, ngeke babalwe.
24 Woado ŋukpe Egipte vinyɔnu eye woatsɔe ade asi na ame siwo le anyiehe.”
Indodakazi yaseGibhithe izayangiswa, inikelwe ebantwini basenyakatho.”
25 Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la be, “Mahe gbegblẽ va Tebestɔwo ƒe mawu Amon, Farao, Egipte, eƒe fiawo kple eƒe mawuwo kple ame siwo katã ziɔ ɖe Farao ŋuti la dzi.
UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: “Sekuseduze ukuba ngijezise u-Amoni unkulunkulu waseThebesi, loFaro, leGibhithe kanye labonkulunkulu balo lamakhosi alo, lalabo abathembe uFaro.
26 Makplɔ wo ade asi na Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar kple eŋutime siwo le woƒe agbe yome tim. Gake emegbe la, amewo aganɔ Egiptenyigba dzi abe tsã ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me ene.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngizabanikela kulabo abafuna ukubabulala, kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lezikhulu zakhe. Kodwa muva, iGibhithe lizahlalwa ngabantu futhi njengasezinsukwini zakudala,” kutsho uThixo.
27 “O Yakob, nye dɔla, mègavɔ̃ o; O Israel, wò mo megatsi dãa o. Maɖe wò godoo tso didiƒenyigba aɖe dzi kple wò dzidzimeviwo tso anyigba si dzi woɖe aboyo wo ɖo ɖo la. Yakob aganɔ anyi le ŋutifafa kple dedinɔnɔ me eye ame aɖeke mado ŋɔdzi nɛ o.
“Ungesabi, wena Jakhobe nceku yami; ungathuthumeli, wena Israyeli. Impela ngizakukhulula endaweni ekude, lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo. UJakhobe uzakuba lokuthula futhi kanye lokuvikeleka, njalo kakho ozamthuthumelisa.
28 Mègavɔ̃ o, O nye dɔla Yakob, elabena meli kpli wò. Togbɔ be metsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo katã me mekaka mi ɖo ɖo keŋkeŋ hã la, nyematsrɔ̃ wò ya keŋkeŋkeŋ o. Mahe to na wò gake ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye dzi; Ɖekoe nyemana nàyi tomahemahee kura o.”
Ungesabi wena Jakhobe nceku yami ngoba ngilawe,” kutsho uThixo. “Lanxa ngizachitha ngokupheleleyo izizwe zonke engakuhlakazela kuzo, wena angiyikukuchitha ngokupheleleyo. Ngizakujezisa kodwa ngokufaneleyo kuphela; angiyikukuyekela nje ungajeziswanga.”
