Yeremia 49
1 Nya sia ku ɖe Amonitɔwo ŋuti: Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Viŋutsuwo mele Israel si oa? Domenyilawo mele esi oa? Ekema nu ka ta Molek xɔ Gad wòzu etɔ? Nu ka ŋuti eƒe amewo le duwo me?”
Unto the children of Ammon thus saith the Lord, Hath Israel no sonnes? or hath he none heire? Why then hath their king possessed God? and his people dwelt in his cities?
2 Ke Yehowa be, “Ŋkekewo li gbɔna, esi mado aʋaɣli ɖe, Amonitɔwo ƒe du, Raba, ŋu. Woagbãe wòazu anyiglago eye kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe la, woatɔ dzo wo. Ekema Israel anya ame siwo nyae de gbe la de gbe,” Yehowae gblɔe.
Therefore beholde the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that I will cause a noyse of warre to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites, and it shall be a desolate heape, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire: then shall Israel possesse those that possessed him, sayeth the Lord.
3 “O Hesbon, fa avi kple ɣli, elabena wogbã Ai! Mido ɣli, O mi Raba me nɔlawo! Mita akpanya ne miafa konyi; miƒu du tso afii yi afi mɛ le glikpɔtɔtɔ la me, elabena Molek ayi aboyo me, kpe ɖe nunɔlawo kple dumegãwo ŋuti.
Howle, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted: crie ye daughters of Rabbah: girde you with sackecloth: mourne and runne to and from by the hedges: for their King shall goe into captiuitie; and his Priestes, and his princes likewise.
4 Nu ka ŋuti mietsɔ miaƒe balimewo le adegbe ƒom, adegbe ƒom be kutsetse geɖe do go tso wo me? O vinyɔnu ahasitɔ, èda wò susu ɖe wò kesinɔnuwo dzi eye nègblɔ be, ‘Ame kae adze dzinye?’
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleis? thy valley floweth away, O rebellious daughter: she trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come vnto me?
5 Mahe ŋɔdzi va dziwò tso ame siwo ƒo xlã wò la gbɔ.” Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Woanya mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ɖa eye ame aɖeke maƒo aʋasilawo nu ƒu o.
Beholde, I will bring a feare vpon thee, sayth the Lord God of hostes, of all those that be about thee, and ye shalbe scattered euery man right foorth, and none shall gather him that fleeth.
6 “Gake emegbe la, magaɖo Amonitɔwo ƒe nunyonamewo te.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And afterward I will bring againe the captiuitie of the children of Ammon.
7 Ku ɖe Edom ŋuti: Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Nunya megale Teman oa? Ɖe aɖaŋudede vɔ le ame ŋkuta sia? Ɖe woƒe nunya lé ɣebia?
To Edom thus sayeth the Lord of hostes: Is wisdome no more in Teman? is counsel perished from their children? is their wisdome vanished?
8 Mi ame siwo le Dedan, mitrɔ, misi, miyi ɖaɣla ɖe agado goglowo me, elabena mahe gbegblẽ va Esau dzi, ne ɣeyiɣi de be mahe to nɛ.
Flee, ye inhabitants of Dedan (they are turned backe, and haue consulted to dwell) for I haue brought the destruction of Esau vpon him, and the time of his visitation.
9 Ne waintsetsegbelawo va gbe waintsetsewo na wò la, ɖe womagblẽ ʋe aɖewo ɖi oa? Ne fiafitɔwo va le zã me be woafi wò nuwo la, ɖe menye esi sinu woate ŋui la ko woatsɔ adzoe oa?
If the grape gatherers come to thee, would they not leaue some grapes? if theeues come by night, they will destroy till they haue ynough.
10 Gake nye la, maɖe amama Esau, mana eƒe ŋukpeƒe nadze ale be mate ŋu aɣla eɖokui o. Viawo, eƒe ƒometɔwo kple eƒe aƒelikawo atsrɔ̃ eye womaganɔ anyi o.
For I haue discouered Esau: I haue vncouered his secrets, and he shall not be able to hide himselfe: his seede is wasted, and his brethren and his neighbours, and there shall be none to say,
11 Migblẽ miaƒe tsyɔ̃eviwo ɖi, maʋli woƒe agbe ta. Miaƒe ahosiwo hã neda woƒe susu ɖe dzinye.”
Leaue thy fathers children, and I will preserue them aliue, and let thy widowes trust in me.
12 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Nenye be ame siwo medze be woano kplu la o la noe la, ekema nu ka wɔ woaɖe asi le miawo ya ŋu tomahemahee? Eya ta miayi tomahemahee o, ke boŋ miano kplu la godoo.”
For thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, they whose iudgement was not to drinke of the cuppe, haue assuredly drunken, and art thou he that shall escape free? thou shalt not goe free, but thou shalt surely drinke of it.
13 Yehowa be, “Meta ɖokuinye ƒe agbe be, Bozra azu aƒedo, ŋɔdzinu, ŋunyɔnu kple ɖiŋudonu eye eƒe duwo katã azu aƒedo tegbetegbee.”
For I haue sworne by my selfe, sayeth the Lord, that Bozrah shall be waste, and for a reproche, and a desolation, and a curse, and all the cities thereof shall be perpetuall desolations.
14 Mexɔ gbedeasi sia tso Yehowa gbɔ: Wodɔ dɔla aɖe ɖe dukɔwo gbɔ be wòagblɔ be, “Miƒo mia ɖokuiwo nu ƒu ne miadze edzi! Mitso, midze aʋa!”
I haue heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent vnto the heathen, saying, Gather you together, and come against her, and rise vp to the battell.
15 “Azɔ mawɔ wò nàzu sue le dukɔwo dome eye maɖi gbɔ̃ wò vevie.
For loe, I will make thee but small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Ŋɔdzi si le ŋuwò kple dada si le wò dzi me la ble wò, wò si le agakpewo tome, eye nèle togbɛwo tame ke. Togbɔ be nèwɔ wò atɔ ɖe kɔkɔƒe ke abe hɔ̃ ene hã la, mahe wò tso afi ma ke aƒu anyi,” Yehowae gblɔe.
Thy feare, and ye pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee, thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rocke, and keepest the height of ye hil: though thou shouldest make thy nest as hie as the eagle, I wil bring thee downe from thece, sayth the Lord.
17 “Edom azu ŋɔdzinu, ame siwo katã ato eŋu ava yi la ƒe mo awɔ yaa eye woaɖu fewu le eŋu le abi siwo wòxɔ la ta.
Also Edom shall be desolate: euery one that goeth by it, shall be astonished, and shall hisse at all the plagues thereof,
18 Anɔ abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Sodom kple Gomora kple du siwo ƒo xlã wo la ene ale be ame aɖeke manɔ afi ma o, ŋutsu aɖeke manɔ eme o.” Yehowae gblɔe.
As in the ouerthrowe of Sodom, and of Gomorah, and the places thereof neere about, saieth the Lord: no man shall dwell there, neither shall the sonnes of men remaine in it.
19 “Maɖe Edom ɖe nu tso eƒe anyigba dzi zi ɖeka, abe ale si dzata doa go tso Yɔdan ƒe ave dodowo me gena ɖe gbe damawo dzi ene. Ame ka wotia da ɖi ne matɔ asi edzi wòawɔ esia? Ame ka le abe nye ene eye ame kae aʋli ho kplim? Alẽkplɔla kae ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe nunye?”
Beholde, hee shall come vp like a lyon from the swelling of Iorden vnto the strong dwelling place: for I will make Israel to rest, euen I will make him to haste away from her, and who is a chosen man that I may appoynt against her? for who is like mee? and who will appoint me the time? and who is the shepheard that will stande before me?
20 Eya ta ɖo to nàse nu si Yehowa ɖo ɖe Edom ŋuti, kple nu si wòɖo kplikpaa ɖe Temantɔwo ŋu: Woahe alẽviwo adzoe le alẽha me, agblẽ woƒe gbeɖuƒe keŋkeŋkeŋ le woƒe nuwɔwɔwo ta.
Therefore heare the counsell of the Lord that hee hath deuised against Edom, and his purpose that hee hath conceiued against the inhabitants of Teman: surely the least of the flocke shall drawe them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 Woƒe anyidzedze ƒe gbeɖiɖi ana anyigba naʋuʋu; eye woase woƒe aviɣli le Ƒu Dzĩ nu ke.
The earth is mooued at the noyse of their fall: the crie of their voice is heard in the red Sea.
22 Kpɔ ɖa! Hɔ̃ aɖe ayi yame ʋĩi, eye wòade agba anyi ɖe Bozra dzi. Gbe ma gbe la, Edom ƒe kalẽtɔwo ƒe dzi anɔ abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la tɔ ene.
Behold, he shall come vp, and flie as the Egle, and spreade his wings ouer Bozrah, and at that day shall the heart of the strong men of Edome be as the heart of a woman in trauaile.
23 Tso Damasko ŋuti: “Hamat kple Arpad ƒe mo tsi dãa, elabena wose nya vɔ̃. Dzi ɖe le wo ƒo, wotɔtɔ eye wotsi dzimaɖi abe atsiaƒu ene.
Vnto Damascus he sayeth, Hamath is confounded and Arpad, for they haue heard euill tidings, and they are faint hearted as one on the fearefull sea that can not rest.
24 Damasko zu nu beli, vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe eye wòtrɔ helé du tsɔ, elabena vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe eye ŋeŋe kple vevesese xɔe abe nyɔnu kuléla ƒe vevesese ene.
Damascus is discouraged, and turneth her selfe to flight and feare hath seased her: anguish and sorowes haue taken her as a woman in trauaile.
25 Nu ka ta womegblẽ du xɔŋkɔ si ŋu mekpɔa dzidzɔ le la ɖi o?
How is the glorious citie not reserued, the citie of my ioy?
26 Via ŋutsuwo aku, atsi mɔtatawo dzi le nyateƒe me, eye ɖoɖoe azi le eƒe asrafowo katã nu gbe ma gbe.
Therefore her yong men shall fall in her streetes, and all her men of warre shall be cut off in that day, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
27 Matɔ dzo Damasko ƒe gliwo eye wòafia Ben Hadad ƒe mɔ sesẽwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, which shall cosume the palaces of Benhadad.
28 Nya sia ku ɖe Kedar kple Hazor fiaɖuƒe siwo dzi Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar va dze la ŋu: Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Tso, nàdze Kedar dzi eye nàtsrɔ̃ ɣedzeƒetɔwo.
Vnto Kedar, and to the kingdomes of Hazor, which Nebuchad-nezzar, king of Babel shall smite, thus sayeth the Lord, Arise, and goe vp vnto Kedar, and destroy the men of the East.
29 Woaxɔ woƒe avɔgbadɔwo kple woƒe lãhawo eye woaxɔ woƒe gbɔɖemeƒewo kple woƒe nunɔamesiwo kple woƒe kposɔwo. Amewo ado ɣli ɖe wo ŋu be, ‘Ŋɔdzi ƒo xlã mi!’
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: yea, they shall take to themselues their curtaines and all their vessels, and their camels, and they shall crie vnto them, Feare is on euery side.
30 “Misi dzo kaba! Mi ame siwo le Hazor, mibe ɖe agado goglowo me.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ɖo nugbe ɖe ŋuwò, ewɔ ɖoɖo be wòagblẽ wò.
Flee, get you farre off (they haue consulted to dwell) O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord: for Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel hath taken counsell against you, and hath deuised a purpose against you.
31 “Tso nàdze dukɔ si li bɔkɔɔ kple dukɔ si si dzideƒo le la dzi. Dukɔ si nu agbo alo akɔbli ƒe mɔnuxenu mele o eye eƒe amewo le dziɖeɖi me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Arise, and get you vp vnto the welthy nation that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which haue neither gates nor barres, but dwel alone.
32 “Woƒe kposɔwo azu nuhaha eye woƒe lãha gbogboawo azu afunyinu. Makaka ame siwo le didiƒewo, be ya nalɔ wo ɖe nu eye mahe gbegblẽ va wo dzi le go sia go me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And their camels shall be a bootie, and the multitude of their cattel a spoile, and I will scatter them into all windes, and to the vtmost corners, and I will bring their destruction from al the sides thereof, sayeth the Lord.
33 “Hazor azu nɔƒe na amegaxiwo eye wòazu aƒedo tegbetegbe. Ame aɖeke manɔ afi ma o; aƒe aɖeke manɔ eme o.”
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and desolation for euer: there shall no man dwell there, nor the sonnes of men remaine in it.
34 Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si va na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia ku ɖe Elam ŋuti, nya sia va nɛ le Yuda fia Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe gɔmedze ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me:
The woordes of the Lord that came to Ieremiah the Prophet, concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reigne of Zedekiah King of Iudah, saying,
35 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, maŋe Elam ƒe da, si nye eƒe ŋusẽkpɔtsoƒe.
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will breake the bowe of Elam, euen the chiefe of their strength.
36 Makplɔ ya eneawo tso dziƒo ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi aƒu Elam. Makaka wo ɖe ya eneawo dzi eye dukɔ aɖeke manɔ anyi si ke me womakpɔ Elam ƒe aboyomewo le o.
And vpon Elam I will bring the foure windes from the foure quarters of heauen, and will scatter them towardes all these windes, and there shall bee no nation, whither the fugitiues of Elam shall not come.
37 Magbã Elam le eƒe futɔ siwo le eƒe agbe yome tim la ƒe ŋkume, eye mahe gbegblẽ kple nye dziku helĩhelĩ gɔ̃ hã va wo dzi,” Yehowae gblɔe. “Mati wo yome kple yi va se ɖe esime matsrɔ̃ wo katã.
For I will cause Elam to be afraied before their enemies, and before them that seeke their liues, and will bring vpon them a plague, euen the indignation of my wrath, saieth the Lord, and I wil sende the sworde after them till I haue consumed them.
38 Maɖo nye zikpui anyi ɖe Elam eye matsrɔ̃ eƒe fia kple dumegãwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And I wil set my throne in Elam, and I wil destroy both the King and the princes from thence, saith the Lord:
39 “Ke hã la, magaɖo Elam ƒe nunyonamewo te le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
but in the latter daies I wil bring againe the captiuitie of Elam, sayeth the Lord.
