< 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?”
Mayelana lama-Amoni: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “U-Israyeli kalamadodana na? Kalandlalifa na? Pho kungani uMoleki esethumbe iGadi na? Kungani abantu bakhe behlala emadolobheni alo na?
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.
Kodwa insuku ziyeza, lapho engizahlaba khona umkhosi wempi wokumelana leRabha yama-Amoni, izakuba yindunduma yonxiwa; lemizi eseduze layo izathungelwa ngomlilo. Ngakho u-Israyeli uzabaxotsha labo ababemxotshele phandle,” kutsho uThixo.
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.
“Lila weHeshibhoni, ngoba i-Ayi ichithekile! Khalani lina elihlala eRabha! Gqokani amasaka lilile; gijimelani lapha lalaphaya phakathi kwemiduli, ngoba uMoleki uzathunjwa, ndawonye labaphristi bakhe kanye lezikhulu zakhe.
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?’
Lizincomelani ngezigodi zenu, lizincomelani ngezigodi ezithela kangaka? Wena ndodakazi engathembekanga, uthemba inotho yakho uthi, ‘Ngubani ozangihlasela na?’
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.
Ngizalilethela ukwesaba okuvela kubo bonke abaseduze lani,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla. “Lonke lizaxotshelwa khatshana, njalo kakho ozaqoqa ababalekayo.
6 “Gake emegbe la, magaɖo Amonitɔwo ƒe nunyonamewo te.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Kodwa emva kwalokho ngizabuyisela inhlanhla yama-Amoni,” kutsho uThixo.
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?
Mayelana le-Edomi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: “Kakuselakuhlakanipha eThemani na? Izeluleko sezaphela na kwabahlakaniphileyo? Ukuhlakanipha kwabo sekwabola na?
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.
Phendukani libaleke, licatshe ezimbalwini ezitshonayo, lina elihlala eDedani, ngoba ngizaletha umonakalo phezu kuka-Esawu ngesikhathi engizamjezisa ngaso.
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?
Nxa abavuni bamavini befike kuwe, kabangeke batshiye amalutshwana na? Nxa amasela efika ebusuku kabayikuntshontsha lokho okwanele abakufunayo kuphela na?
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.
Kodwa u-Esawu ngizamhlubula asale eze; ngizakwembula izindawo zakhe zokucatsha, ukuze angacatshi. Amabutho akhe ahlomileyo azabhubha kanye labomakhelwane bakhe labahlanganyela laye, angabikhona khona ozakuthi,
11 Migblẽ miaƒe tsyɔ̃eviwo ɖi, maʋli woƒe agbe ta. Miaƒe ahosiwo hã neda woƒe susu ɖe dzinye.”
‘Tshiya izintandane zakho; ngizavikela impilo yazo labafelokazi bakho bangathemba kimi.’”
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.”
UThixo uthi: “Nxa labo abangafanelanga ukunatha inkezo kumele bayinathe, kungani wena ungeze wajeziswa na? Kawuyikuphutha ukujeziswa, kumele uyinathe.
13 Yehowa be, “Meta ɖokuinye ƒe agbe be, Bozra azu aƒedo, ŋɔdzinu, ŋunyɔnu kple ɖiŋudonu eye eƒe duwo katã azu aƒedo tegbetegbee.”
Ngifunga ngami, ukuthi iBhozira izakuba lunxiwa lento yokwesatshwa, eyokuthukwa lokuqalekiswa, njalo wonke amadolobho ayo azakuba ngamanxiwa nini lanini,” kutsho uThixo.
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!”
Sengizwe ilizwi elivela kuThixo: Kuthunywe isithunywa ezizweni ukuba sithi, “Buthanani ukuba liyihlasele! Vukani lilwe impi!”
15 “Azɔ mawɔ wò nàzu sue le dukɔwo dome eye maɖi gbɔ̃ wò vevie.
“Khathesi ngizakwenza ube mncane phakathi kwezizwe, udeleleke ebantwini.
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.
Ukuthuthumela okungabangwa nguwe, lokuzigqaja kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala eminkenkeni yamadwala, wena ohlala ezingqongeni zoqaqa. Lanxa usakhela isidleke sakho phezulu njengengqungqulu, ukhonapho ngizakwehlisela phansi,” kutsho uThixo.
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.
“I-Edomi izakuba yinto yokwesatshwa, bonke abadlula khona bazathuthumela baklolode ngenxa yamanxeba ayo wonke.
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.
Njengokuchitheka kweSodoma leGomora, kanye lamadolobho awo ayeseduze, ngakho kakho ozahlala kuyo, kakho ozabuye ahlale khona” kutsho uThixo.
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?”
“Njengesilwane siphuma emahlathini aseJodani sisiya emadlelweni amahle, i-Edomi ngizayixotsha elizweni layo ngesikhatshana. Ngubani okhethiweyo engizamkhethela lokhu na? Ngubani onjengami, ngubani ongamelana lami na? Njalo nguphi umelusi ongajamelana lami na?”
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.
Ngakho, zwanini lokho uThixo asecebe ukukwenza nge-Edomi, asemise ukukwenza kulabo abahlala eThemani: Amazinyane omhlambi azadonselwa le; amadlelo awo uzawatshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yabo.
21 Woƒe anyidzedze ƒe gbeɖiɖi ana anyigba naʋuʋu; eye woase woƒe aviɣli le Ƒu Dzĩ nu ke.
Ekuzwakaleni komsindo wokuwa kwabo umhlaba uzagedezela, ukukhala kwabo kuzazwakala eLwandle oluBomvu.
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.
Khangelani! Ingqungqulu izaqonga iphinde yehlele phansi, yelulele impiko zayo phezu kweBhozira. Ngalolosuku inhliziyo zamabutho ase-Edomi zizakuba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane ohelelwayo.
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.
Mayelana leDamaseko: “IHamathi le-Ariphadi athithibele, ngoba azwe izindaba ezimbi. Adanile, akhathazeke njengolwandle olungela kuphumula.
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.
IDamaseko isibe buthakathaka, isiphendukile ukuba ibaleke, isiphethwe layikuphaphazela; ibanjwe lusizi lobuhlungu, ubuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ohelelwayo.
25 Nu ka ta womegblẽ du xɔŋkɔ si ŋu mekpɔa dzidzɔ le la ɖi o?
Kungani idolobho lodumo lingadelwanga, idolobho engithokoza ngalo na?
26 Via ŋutsuwo aku, atsi mɔtatawo dzi le nyateƒe me, eye ɖoɖoe azi le eƒe asrafowo katã nu gbe ma gbe.
Ngeqiniso izinsizwa zayo zizakuwa emgwaqweni; amabutho ayo wonke azathuliswa ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
27 Matɔ dzo Damasko ƒe gliwo eye wòafia Ben Hadad ƒe mɔ sesẽwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
“Imiduli yaseDamaseko ngizayithungela ngomlilo; uzaqothula izinqaba zaseBheni-Hadadi.”
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.
Mayelana leKhedari lemibuso yaseHazori, eyahlaselwa nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni: UThixo uthi: “Vuka uhlasele iKhedari ubhubhise labantu baseMpumalanga.
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!’
Amathente abo lemihlambi yabo kuzathunjwa; amakhetheni abo azathathwa layo yonke impahla yabo kanye lamakamela abo. Abantu bazaklabalala besithi kubo, ‘Ukwesaba enhlangothini zonke!’
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.
Balekani ngokuphangisa! Hlalani ezimbalwini ezitshonayo, lina elihlala eHazori,” kutsho uThixo. “UNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni usecebe icebo ngani, usebumbe icebo ngani.
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.
Vukani lihlasele isizwe esizinzileyo, esihlezi ngethemba,” kutsho uThixo, “isizwe esingelawo amasango kumbe imigoqo; abantu baso bahlala bodwa.
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.
Amakamela aso azakuba yimpango, lemihlambi yabo emikhulu izakuba yimpango. Ngizabahlakazela emoyeni labo abasezindaweni ezikude njalo ngizaletha umonakalo kubo uvelela enhlangothini zonke,” kutsho uThixo.
33 “Hazor azu nɔƒe na amegaxiwo eye wòazu aƒedo tegbetegbe. Ame aɖeke manɔ afi ma o; aƒe aɖeke manɔ eme o.”
“IHazori izakuba yisikhundla samakhanka, indawo echithekileyo nini lanini. Kakho ozahlala khona, akulamuntu ozahlala kuyo.”
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:
Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya umphrofethi mayelana le-Elamu, ekuqaleni kombuso kaZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, elathi:
35 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, maŋe Elam ƒe da, si nye eƒe ŋusẽkpɔtsoƒe.
UThixo uSomandla uthi: “Khangela, idandili le-Elamu ngizalephula, insika yamandla abo.
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.
Ngizalethela i-Elamu imimoya emine ezavela emagumbini amane amazulu, ngizabahlakazela emimoyeni emine, njalo akuyikuba lesizwe abathunjwe e-Elamu abangayikuya kuso.
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.
I-Elamu ngizayibhidliza phambi kwezitha zayo, phambi kwalabo abafuna ukubabulala. Ngizakwehlisela umonakalo phezu kwabo kanye lolaka lwami oluvuthayo,” kutsho uThixo. “Ngizabaxhuma ngenkemba ngize ngibaqede bonke.
38 Maɖo nye zikpui anyi ɖe Elam eye matsrɔ̃ eƒe fia kple dumegãwo.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngizabeka isihlalo sami sobukhosi e-Elamu ngichithe inkosi yayo lezikhulu zayo,” kutsho uThixo.
39 “Ke hã la, magaɖo Elam ƒe nunyonamewo te le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
“Kodwa inhlanhla ye-Elamu ngizayibuyisa ensukwini ezizayo,” kutsho uThixo.
