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?”
Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he not an heir? Why then doth Milcom inherit Gad, And his people dwell 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, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will cause a cry of war to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, And she shall become a ruinous heap, And her daughters shall be burned with fire; And Israel shall take possession of their land, who took possession of his.
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.
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament, And run ye to and fro within the fences! For Milcom goeth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
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 dost thou glory in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow [[with blood]], O perverse daughter, That gloriest in thy treasures, [[Saying, ]] “Who shall come against 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.
Behold, I will bring a terror upon thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, From all those that are around thee, And ye shall be driven out, every one right forth, And there shall be none to gather up the fugitives.
6 “Gake emegbe la, magaɖo Amonitɔwo ƒe nunyonamewo te.” Yehowae gblɔe.
But after this will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, saith Jehovah.
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?
Concerning the Edomites. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel passed away from the prudent? Is their wisdom 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, turn ye back, Dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Dedan! For the destruction of Esau do I bring, The time of his punishment upon him.
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 grape-gatherers had come upon thee, Would they not have left some gleanings? If thieves by night, They would have destroyed only till they had enough.
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.
But I will make Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding-places, So that he shall not be able to hide himself. His offspring shall be destroyed, and his brethren, and his neighbors, And he shall be no more.
11 Migblẽ miaƒe tsyɔ̃eviwo ɖi, maʋli woƒe agbe ta. Miaƒe ahosiwo hã neda woƒe susu ɖe dzinye.”
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive, And thy widows, let them 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 saith Jehovah: Behold, they who ought not to have drunk the cup have deeply drunken, And shalt thou go altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished; Thou shalt surely drink.
13 Yehowa be, “Meta ɖokuinye ƒe agbe be, Bozra azu aƒedo, ŋɔdzinu, ŋunyɔnu kple ɖiŋudonu eye eƒe duwo katã azu aƒedo tegbetegbee.”
For by myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, That Bozrah shall become an astonishment, A reproach, a desolation, and a curse; And all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.
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 have heard a proclamation from Jehovah, And an ambassador hath been sent among the nations, [[Saying, ]] “Assemble yourselves, and come against her, And arise to battle!”
15 “Azɔ mawɔ wò nàzu sue le dukɔwo dome eye maɖi gbɔ̃ wò vevie.
For, behold, I will make thee small among the nations, 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 terribleness hath deceived thee, The pride of thy heart, Because thou dwellest in the recesses of the rock, And holdest the height of the hill. Though thou set thy nest on high, like the eagle, From thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.
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 Edom shall be an astonishment: Every one that passeth by her shall be astonished, And shall hiss on account of all her plagues.
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 overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And their neighboring cities, saith Jehovah, There shall not a man abide there, Nor a son of man dwell within her.
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?”
Behold, he [[the enemy]] cometh up like a lion from the pride of Jordan against the habitation of the rock; Suddenly will I drive him [[Edom]] thence, And him who is chosen by me will I set over her. For who is like me, Or who will summon me to trial? Or who is the shepherd that will stand up against 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, hear ye the purpose of Jehovah, Which he hath formed against Edom, And the designs which he meditateth against the inhabitants of Teman! Surely he [[the enemy]] shall drag them forth like feeble sheep; Surely he shall come upon them, And make their pastures desolate.
21 Woƒe anyidzedze ƒe gbeɖiɖi ana anyigba naʋuʋu; eye woase woƒe aviɣli le Ƒu Dzĩ nu ke.
At the noise of their fall the earth trembleth, Even to the Red Sea is their cry heard.
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, like an eagle, he [[the enemy]] cometh up, And spreadeth his wings over Bozrah; And the hearts of the heroes of Edom, in that day, Shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
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.
Concerning Damascus. Hamath and Arpad are confounded; They faint, because they have heard evil tidings. There is anxiety at the sea; It cannot be at 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 faint-hearted; She turneth herself to flee; Trembling hath seized on her; Anguish and pangs have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 Nu ka ta womegblẽ du xɔŋkɔ si ŋu mekpɔa dzidzɔ le la ɖi o?
“Why is not the praised city left, The city of my joy?”
26 Via ŋutsuwo aku, atsi mɔtatawo dzi le nyateƒe me, eye ɖoɖoe azi le eƒe asrafowo katã nu gbe ma gbe.
Yea, her young men shall fall in her streets, And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
27 Matɔ dzo Damasko ƒe gliwo eye wòafia Ben Hadad ƒe mɔ sesẽwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Yea, I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, Which shall consume 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.
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise ye, go up against Kedar, And spoil the sons 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; They shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their furniture, and their camels, And men shall cry to them, “Terror is on every 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 far off, dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, meditates a design against you, And has formed 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 ye, go up against a nation at ease, That dwelleth securely, saith Jehovah; Which hath neither gates nor bars; Which dwelleth 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 booty, And the multitude of their cattle a spoil; And I will scatter to all the winds them that shave the cheeks, And from every side will I bring their calamity, saith Jehovah.
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 jackals, A desolation forever. There shall not a man abide there, Nor any son of man dwell therein.
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 word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying: —
35 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, maŋe Elam ƒe da, si nye eƒe ŋusẽkpɔtsoƒe.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I break the bow of Elam, The chief part 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 I will bring against Elam The four winds from the four extremities of the heavens, And I will scatter them to all these winds, And there shall be no nation To which the outcasts 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 dismayed before their enemies, And before them that seek their life. And I will bring evil upon them, The fierceness of my anger, saith Jehovah. And I will send after them the sword, Until I have consumed them.
38 Maɖo nye zikpui anyi ɖe Elam eye matsrɔ̃ eƒe fia kple dumegãwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And I will set up my throne in Elam, And I will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.
39 “Ke hã la, magaɖo Elam ƒe nunyonamewo te le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
But it shall come to pass in future times, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.
