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?”
Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,
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.
to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before your face, and pray you to the Lord your God for this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as your eyes see.
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.
And let the Lord your God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.
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?’
And Jeremias said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatever word the Lord God shall answer, I will declare [it] to you; I will not hide anything from you.
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.
And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness, if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.
6 “Gake emegbe la, magaɖo Amonitɔwo ƒe nunyonamewo te.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, because we shall listen to the voice of the Lord our God.
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?
And it came to pass after ten days, [that] the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
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.
And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
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?
and he said to them, Thus says the Lord;
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.
If you will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull [you] down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.
11 Migblẽ miaƒe tsyɔ̃eviwo ɖi, maʋli woƒe agbe ta. Miaƒe ahosiwo hã neda woƒe susu ɖe dzinye.”
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.
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.”
And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.
13 Yehowa be, “Meta ɖokuinye ƒe agbe be, Bozra azu aƒedo, ŋɔdzinu, ŋunyɔnu kple ɖiŋudonu eye eƒe duwo katã azu aƒedo tegbetegbee.”
But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not listen to the voice of the Lord;
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!”
for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:
15 “Azɔ mawɔ wò nàzu sue le dukɔwo dome eye maɖi gbɔ̃ wò vevie.
then hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord;
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.
If you set your face toward Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, [that] the sword which you fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which you have regard, shall overtake you, [coming] after you in Egypt; and there you shall die.
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.
And all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.
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.
For thus says the Lord; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when you have entered into Egypt: and you shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curse and a reproach: and you shall no more see this place.
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?”
[These are the words] which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter you not into Egypt: and now know you for a certainty,
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.
that you have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when you sent me, saying, Pray you for us to the Lord; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to you we will do.
21 Woƒe anyidzedze ƒe gbeɖiɖi ana anyigba naʋuʋu; eye woase woƒe aviɣli le Ƒu Dzĩ nu ke.
And you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, with which he sent me to you.
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.
Now therefore you shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which you desire to go into to dwell there.
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.
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.
25 Nu ka ta womegblẽ du xɔŋkɔ si ŋu mekpɔa dzidzɔ le la ɖi o?
26 Via ŋutsuwo aku, atsi mɔtatawo dzi le nyateƒe me, eye ɖoɖoe azi le eƒe asrafowo katã nu gbe ma gbe.
27 Matɔ dzo Damasko ƒe gliwo eye wòafia Ben Hadad ƒe mɔ sesẽwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
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.
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!’
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.
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.
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.
33 “Hazor azu nɔƒe na amegaxiwo eye wòazu aƒedo tegbetegbe. Ame aɖeke manɔ afi ma o; aƒe aɖeke manɔ eme o.”
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:
35 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, maŋe Elam ƒe da, si nye eƒe ŋusẽkpɔtsoƒe.
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.
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.
38 Maɖo nye zikpui anyi ɖe Elam eye matsrɔ̃ eƒe fia kple dumegãwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
39 “Ke hã la, magaɖo Elam ƒe nunyonamewo te le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
