Yeremia 47

1 Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si va na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia tso Filistitɔwo ŋu hafi Farao va dze Gaza dzi:

Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya umphrofethi mayelana lamaFilistiya ngesikhathi uFaro engakahlaseli iGaza:

2 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ale si tɔwo le ɖɔɖɔm le anyiehe ɖa, woaɖɔ agbagba, anɔ sisim kple ŋusẽ. Woaɖɔ axɔ anyigba kple nu sia nu si le edzi, duwo kple wo me nɔlawo katã dzi. Ameawo alé avi me sesĩe eye ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi la, afa avi kple ɣli,

UThixo uthi: “Khangela ukuphakama kwamanzi enyakatho; azakuba ngumfula okhukhulayo. Azakhukhula ilizwe lakho konke okukulo, amadolobho lalabo abahlala kuwo. Abantu bazakhala, bonke abahlala elizweni bazalila

3 nenye be wose sɔ siwo le du dzi la ƒe afɔzi kple futɔwo ƒe tasiaɖamwo ƒe hoowɔwɔ kple woƒe afɔtiwo ƒe totro. Fofowo matrɔ ɖe wo viwo ŋu be woakpe ɖe wo ŋu o elabena woƒe asi adɔ agblɔ ɖe wo ŋu,

ekuzweni umsindo wamasondo amabhiza agijimayo, lekuzweni umsindo wezinqola zesitha lomdumo wamasondo azo. Oyise kabayikuphenduka ukuba basize abantwababo; izandla zabo zizalenga zingelamandla.

4 elabena ŋkeke la ɖo be woatsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo katã, eye woaɖe ame siwo tsi agbe la ɖa, ame siwo ate ŋu akpe ɖe Tiro kple Sidon ŋu. Esusɔ vie Yehowa natsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo, ame siwo nye Kaftor ƒuta ƒe ame mamlɛawo.

Ngoba usuku selufikile ukuba abhujiswe wonke amaFilistiya, lokuqeda bonke abasilayo abangasiza iThire leSidoni. Sekuseduze ukuba uThixo abhubhise amaFilistiya, insalela emakhunjini eKhafithori.

5 Gaza ako ta kolikoli abe funyila ene, eye wòaɖo asi Askelon dzi be wòazi ɖoɖoe. O, mi ame siwo susɔ ɖe tagba, ɣe ka ɣie miasi mia ɖokuiwo ase ɖo?

IGaza izaphuca ikhanda layo ilila; i-Ashikheloni izathuliswa. Lina nsalela esemagcekeni, lizazisika kuze kube nini na?

6 “Èdo ɣli be, ‘Ao, Yehowa ƒe yi, ɣe ka ɣi hafi nàgbɔ ɖe eme? Tɔ, trɔ yi ɖe wò aku me eye nànɔ anyi kpoo.’

Likhala lisithi, ‘Maye, nkemba kaThixo, koba nini ukuze uphumule? Buyela emgodleni wakho; khawuka ungathi nyiki.’

7 Aleke wòadzudzɔe esi wònye Yehowae ɖoe nɛ, esi wòɖe gbe nɛ be wòadze Askelon kple ƒutaduwo dzi?”

Kodwa ingaphumula njani yona ilaywe nguThixo, ithunywe nguye ukuba ihlasele i-Ashikheloni lamakhumbi olwandle na?”
