Yeremia 48
1 Tso Moab ŋuti: Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Baba na Nebo elabena azu aƒedo. Woado ŋukpe Kiriataim eye woaxɔe; woagbã mɔ sesẽ la eye wòazu ŋukpe.
Now it came to pass in the seventh month that Ismael the son of Nathanias the son of Eleasa of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, to Godolias to Massepha: and they ate bread there together.
2 Womagakafu Moab azɔ o, ŋutsu siwo le Hesbon la ɖo ta me vɔ̃ ɖe eŋu be, ‘Miva, mina míatsrɔ̃ dukɔ ma.’ O, Madmen, woatsrɔ̃ wò hã eye yi ati yowòme.
And Ismael rose up, and the ten men that were with him, and struck Godolias, whom the king of Babylon had appointed [governor] over the land,
3 Se ɣli si le ɖiɖim tso Horonaim ɖa, enye tsɔtsrɔ̃ gã kple gbegblẽ ƒe ɣli.
and all the Jews that were with him in Massepha, and all the Chaldeans that were found there.
4 Woamu Moab aƒu anyi eye via suewo afa avi.
And it came to pass on the second day after he had struck Godolias, and no man knew [of it],
5 Wodze Luhit mɔ dzi le avi fam hehehe. Wose konyifaɣli le Horonaim mɔ dzi le gbegblẽ la ta.
that there came men from Sychem, and from Salem, and from Samaria, [even] eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes tore, and beating their breasts, and [they had] manna and frankincense in their hands, to bring [them] into the house of the Lord.
6 Misi! Miɖe miaƒe agbe eye mianɔ abe gbe le gbegbe ene.
And Ismael went out to meet them; [and] they went on and wept: and he said to them, Come in to Godolias.
7 Esi nèɖo dzi ɖe wò dɔwɔwɔwo kple wò kesinɔnuwo ŋuti ta la, woaɖe aboyo wò hã eye woakplɔ Kemos ayi aboyo mee, kpe ɖe eƒe nunɔlawo kple dumegãwo ŋu.
And it came to pass, when they had entered into the midst of the city, [that] he killed them [and cast them] into a pit.
8 Nugblẽla ava du sia du me eye du aɖeke masi o. Woagblẽ balimewo eye woakaka towo elabena Yehowae gblɔe.
But ten men were found there, and they said to Ismael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, wheat and barley, honey and oil. So he passed by, and killed them not in the midst of their brethren.
9 Mide dze Moab elabena aƒaƒã eye eƒe duwo azu aƒedo, ame aɖeke maganɔ wo me o.
Now the pit into which Ismael cast all whom he struck, is the great pit, which king Asa had made for fear of Baasa king of Israel: [even] this Ismael filled with slain men.
10 “Aɖi ame si le asi blem le Yehowa ƒe dɔ ŋu! Aɖi ame si he eƒe yi ɖe megbe be magakɔ ʋu ɖi o la ŋu!
And Ismael brought back all the people that were left in Massepha, and the king's daughter, whom the captain of the guard had committed in charge to Godolias the son of Achicam: and he went away beyond the children of Ammon.
11 “Moab li bɔkɔɔ tso eƒe ɖevime ke abe wain si ɖo ƒã ɖi kpoo eye wometrɔe tso go ɖeka me kɔ ɖe go bubu me o ene; esia nye be meyi aboyo me kpɔ o. Eya ta eƒe vivi gale eŋu eye eƒe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ metrɔ o.
And Joanan the son of Caree, and all the leaders of the host that were with him, heard of all the evil deeds which Ismael had done.
12 Yehowa be, ‘Gake ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi maɖo ŋutsu siwo trɔa nu le gowo me la ɖa eye woatrɔe aƒu gbe, woana eƒe gowo naɖi gbɔlo eye woagbã eƒe kpluwo.
And they brought all their army, and went to fight against him, and found him near much water in Gabaon.
13 Ekema Kemos akpe ŋu na Moab, abe ale si ŋu kpe Israel ƒe aƒe la esi wòtsɔ eƒe susu da ɖe Betel dzi ene.’
And it came to pass, when all the people that was with Ismael saw Joanan, and the leaders of the host that was with him,
14 “Aleke miate ŋu agblɔ be, ‘Míenye kalẽtɔwo, kple ŋutsu siwo bi ɖe aʋawɔwɔ me?’
that they returned to Joanan.
15 Woagbã Moab kple eƒe duwo eye woakplɔ eƒe ɖekakpui vavãwo ayi ɖe amewuƒee.” Fia si ŋkɔe nye Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu lae gblɔe.
But Ismael escaped with eight men and went to the children of Ammon.
16 “Moab ƒe anyidzedze tu aƒe, eƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava kaba.
And Joanan, and all the leaders of the host that were with him, took all the remnant of the people, whom he [had] brought back from Ismael, mighty men in war, and the women, and the other [property], and the eunuchs, whom they [had] brought back from Gabaon:
17 Mi ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe, mifa nɛ eye ame siwo katã nya ale si wòxɔ ŋkɔe la negblɔ be, ‘Aleke fiatikplɔ sesẽ la kple atizɔti dzeani la ŋe ale!’
and they departed, and lived in Gaberoch-amaa, that is by Bethleem, to go into Egypt, for fear of the Chaldeans:
18 “Ɖi le wò ŋutikɔkɔe me eye nànɔ anyi ɖe anyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla la dzi, O mi ame siwo le Dibon vinyɔnu ƒe du me elabena ame si gbã Moab la aƒo ɖe dziwò eye wòagbã wò mɔ sesẽwo.
for they were afraid of them, because Ismael had struck Godolias, whom the king of Babylon made [governor] in the land.
19 Mi ame siwo le Aroer, mitsi tsitre ɖe mɔto ne miakpɔ nu. Bia ŋutsu si le du dzi kple nyɔnu si le sisim la be, ‘Nya kae dzɔ?’

25 Wolã Moab ƒe dzo ɖa, woŋe eƒe abɔ.” Yehowae gblɔe.
26 “Mina aha Moab wòano amu, aƒo dablibɛ le xe si wòɖe la me, eye wòazu alɔmeɖenu, elabena edo toku Yehowa ƒe gbe.
27 Ɖe menye Israel ye nye wò alɔmeɖenu oa? Ɖe wolée le fiafitɔwo dome kpɔ hafi ne èle nu ƒom tso eŋu la, nèʋuʋua ta fewuɖutɔea?

35 Maɖo asi ame siwo sa vɔ le nuxeƒewo eye wodoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na woƒe mawuwo la dzi le Moab.” Yehowae gblɔe.
36 Yehowa be, “Eya ta nye dzi le nu xam le Moab ŋu abe dzekuku ene, eye nye dzi xa nu abe kpẽ ene na Kir Hareset ŋutsuwo, elabena kesinɔnu siwo woli kɔe la dzo.
37 Wolũ ta ɖe sia ɖe eye woƒlɔ ge ɖe sia ɖe, wode abi asi ɖe sia ɖe ŋu eye akpanya le ali ɖe sia ɖe dzi.

39 “Wogbãe gudugudu loo! Wole ɣli dom ale gbegbe! Aleke Moab trɔ megbe kple ŋukpee nye esi! Moab zu alɔmeɖenu kple bibi na ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe.”
40 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, hɔ̃ aɖe dzo gbɔna, eɖo asagba, keke eƒe aʋalawo me ɖe Moab dzi.
41 Woaxɔ Keriyɔt kple eƒe mɔ sesẽwo. Gbe ma gbe la, Moab ƒe Kalẽtɔwo ƒe dzi anɔ abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la tɔ ene.

44 “Ame si si le ŋɔdzi nu la age adze ʋe globo la me, mɔka aɖe ame si te ŋu do le ʋe globoa me, elabena mahe toheɣi va Moab dzi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
