Yeremia 50
1 Esia nye nya si Yehowa gblɔ to Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia dzi ku ɖe Babilonia kple Babiloniatɔwo ƒe anyigba ŋuti:
Leli yilizwi uThixo alikhuluma ngoJeremiya umphrofethi mayelana leBhabhiloni lelizwe lamaKhaladiya:
2 “Miɖe gbeƒãe eye mido kpoe le dukɔwo dome, mikɔ aflaga dzi, ne miado bobloe; migagbe nya la katã gbɔgblɔ o, ke boŋ migblɔ be, ‘Woaxɔ Babilonia, ŋukpe alé Bel eye ŋɔdzi alé Marduk vevie. Woado ŋukpe eƒe legbawo eye ŋɔdzi alé eƒe aklamakpakpɛwo.’
“Memezelani libike phakathi kwezizwe, phakamisani uphawu lilubike; lingafihli lutho, kodwa lithi, ‘IBhabhiloni izathunjwa, iBheli izayangiswa, iMariduki ibe lokwesaba. Izifanekiso zayo zizayangiswa, izithombe zayo zibe lokwesaba.’
3 Dukɔ si tso anyiehe la ava dze edzi eye wòagblẽ eƒe anyigba keŋkeŋ. Ame aɖeke manɔ edzi o, amewo kple lãwo siaa asi adzo.”
Isizwe esivela enyakatho sizayihlasela sitshabalalise ilizwe layo. Kakho ozahlala kuyo; abantu lezinyamazana kuzasuka kubaleke.
4 Yehowa be, “Le ŋkeke mawo me, le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Israelviwo kple Yudatɔwo siaa awɔ ɖeka ava Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la gbɔ kple avi.
Ngalezonsuku, ngalesosikhathi, abantu bako-Israyeli ndawonye labantu bakoJuda bazahamba bekhala bedinga uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo.
5 Woabia Zion ƒe mɔ ta ase eye woatrɔ woƒe mo ɖo ɖe egbɔ. Woava eye woabla nubabla mavɔ kple Yehowa, nubabla si womaŋlɔ be akpɔ o.
Bazabuza indlela eya eZiyoni bakhangelise ubuso babo kuyo. Bazakuza bazibophele kuThixo ngesivumelwano esingapheliyo esingayikukhohlakala.
6 “Nye dukɔ le abe alẽ tatrawo ene, woƒe kplɔlawoe kplɔ wo trae eye wona wole tsatsam le towo dzi. Wole tsaglãla tsam le towo kple togbɛwo dzi eye woŋlɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nɔƒe be.
Abantu bami bebeyizimvu ezilahlekileyo, abelusi babo babebadukisile babenza bazulazula phezu kwezintaba. Bantula phezu kwezintaba laphezu kwamaqaqa bakhohlwa indawo yabo yokuphumula.
7 Ame sia ame si ke ɖe wo ŋu la vuvua wo; woƒe futɔwo gblɔ be, ‘Míedze agɔ o, elabena wowɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa, woƒe lãnyiƒe vavã, kple Yehowa wo fofowo ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ ŋuti?’
Loba ngubani owabatholayo wabadla; izitha zabo zathi, ‘Kasilacala, ngoba benza okubi kuThixo, idlelo labo eliqotho, uThixo, ithemba laboyise.’
8 “Misi do go le Babilonia, midzo le Babiloniatɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi eye minɔ abe agbowo le alẽhawo ŋgɔ ene,
Balekelani ngaphandle kweBhabhiloni; sukani elizweni lamaKhaladiya, libe njengembuzi ezikhokhela umhlambi.
9 elabena made adã ta me na dukɔ siwo le anyiehenyigba dzi ɖe Babilonia ŋu eye woawɔ ɖeka aho ɖe eŋu. Woava aƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe eŋu eye woava lée tso anyiehe gome. Woƒe aŋutrɔwo magbɔ ƒuƒlu o, elabena woanɔ abe ame siwo bi ɖe aʋawɔwɔ me la tɔwo ene.
Ngoba iBhabhiloni ngizayivusela umanyano lwezizwe ezinkulu ezivela elizweni lasenyakatho. Bazaviva ezindaweni zabo bamelane layo. Njalo izathunjwa kuvelelwa enyakatho. Imitshoko yabo izakuba njengamabutho alolwazi angaphenduki engelalutho.
10 Ale Babilonia azu nuhaha eye ame siwo hae la akpɔ afunyinuwo fũu.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngakho iBhabhiloni izaphangwa, bonke abayiphangayo bazasuthiseka,” kutsho uThixo.
11 “Esi mi ame siwo nye avuzi le nye domenyinu dzi, kpɔ dzidzɔ, hetso aseye eye esi mieti kpo abe nyinɔvi si le bli nyɔm ene, hexlɔ̃ abe sɔtsuwo ene ta la,
“Njengoba lithokoza njalo lithabile, lizaphanga ilifa lami ngoba liyaqolotsha njengethokazi etshanini, njalo likhale njengamabhiza amaduna,
12 Ŋukpe gã aɖe ava mia dada dzi eye ame si dzi mi, woado vloe. Anye suetɔ le dukɔwo dome, azu gbegbe, kuɖiɖinyigba kple dzogbe.
unyoko uzayangeka kakhulu, yena owalizalayo uzakuba lenhloni. Uzakuba ngowokucina phakathi kwezizwe, inkangala, ilizwe elomileyo, ugwadule.
13 Le Yehowa ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ ta la, ame maganɔ eme o, ke boŋ azu aƒedo. Ame sia ame si to Babilonia ŋu yi la ƒe nu aku eye woaɖu fewu le woƒe abixɔxɔwo katã ta.
Ngenxa yolaka lukaThixo kayiyikuhlalwa muntu kodwa izachithwa ngokupheleleyo. Bonke abadlula eBhabhiloni bazakwesaba baklolode ngenxa yamanxeba ayo wonke.
14 “Mi ame siwo daa aŋutrɔ, midze aʋa ɖe Babilonia ŋu. Mida aŋutrɔe! Midae, ɖeke megasusɔ o, elabena ewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
Vivani inhlangothi zonke zeBhabhiloni lonke lina eliphethe amadandili. Itshokeni! Lingatshiyi mitshoko ngoba yonile kuThixo.
15 Miɖe to ɖee miado ɣli ɖe eta! Ena ta, eƒe gbetakpɔxɔwo mu dze anyi eye wogbã eƒe gliwo ƒu anyi. Esi wònye Yehowa ƒe hlɔ̃biabiae ta la, mibia hlɔ̃e; miwɔe nɛ abe ale si wòwɔe na ame bubuwo ene.
Klabalalani kuyo ezinhlangothini zonke! Iyazinikela, imiphotshongo yayo iyawa, imiduli yayo idilikela phansi. Njengoba lokhu kuyikuphindisela kukaThixo, phindiselani kuyo iBhabhiloni; yenzani kuyo njengalokhu eyakwenza kwabanye.
16 Mitsrɔ̃ nukuƒãla kple nuŋela kple eƒe nuŋehɛ siaa le Babilonia le nuŋeɣi. Le nugblẽla ƒe yi ta la, ame sia ame netrɔ yi eya ŋutɔ ƒe amewo gbɔ, eye ame sia ame nesi yi eya ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
Msuseni eBhabhiloni umhlanyeli, lomvuni lesikela yakhe ekuvuneni. Ngenxa yenkemba yomncindezeli, umuntu wonke kabuyele ebantwini bakibo; umuntu wonke kabalekele elizweni lakibo.
17 “Israel nye alẽha si dzatawo ɖe ɖe nu, eye wokaka gbẽe. Ame gbãtɔ si vuvui lae nye Asiria fia ame mamlɛtɔ si gbã eƒe ƒuwo lae nye Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar.”
U-Israyeli ungumhlambi ohlakazekileyo oxotshwe yizilwane. Owaqalayo ukumudla yinkosi yase-Asiriya; owacinayo ukuqhoba amathambo akhe nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”
18 Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Mahe to na Babilonia fia kple eƒe anyigba abe ale si mehe to na Asiria ene.
Ngakho uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: “Ngizayijezisa inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lelizwe layo njengoba ngajezisa inkosi yase-Asiriya.
19 Ke matrɔ Israel agbɔe va eya ŋutɔ ƒe gbe dama dzi, aɖu gbe le Karmel kple Basan eye akpɔ ƒoɖiɖi le Efraim kple Gilead togbɛwo dzi.”
Kodwa u-Israyeli ngizambuyisela edlelweni lakhe, uzakudla eKhameli kanye laseBhashani; inkanuko yakhe izasuthiswa emaqaqeni ako-Efrayimi kanye leGiliyadi.
20 Yehowa be, “Le ŋkeke mawo me, le ɣe ma ɣi me, woatsa, adi Israel ƒe agɔdzedze gake womakpɔ ɖeke o eye woadi Yuda ƒe nu vɔ̃wo gake womakpɔ ɖeke o, elabena matsɔe ake ame susɔe siwo megblẽ ɖi.”
Ngalezonsuku, ngalesosikhathi,” kutsho uThixo, “ukona kuka-Israyeli kuzadingwa, kodwa akuyikuba khona; kudingwe lezono zikaJuda kodwa kasikho esizafunyanwa, ngoba insalela engiyitshiyayo ngizayithethelela.
21 Yehowa be, “Wɔ avu kple Merataim kple ame siwo le Pekod. Ti wo yome, wu wo eye nàtsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ. Wɔ nu siwo katã ƒe se mede na wò.
Hlaselani ilizwe laseMerathayimi lalabo abahlala ePhekhodi. Xotshanani labo libabulale libaqede du,” kutsho uThixo. “Yenzani konke engililaye khona.
22 Aʋaɣli le anyigba dzi, eye gbegblẽ gã si le edzi yim la ƒe hoowɔwɔ le ɖiɖim.
Umsindo wempi uselizweni, umsindo wencithakalo enkulu!
23 Aleke woŋe, eye wohekaka anyigba blibo la ƒe zu ale! Aleke Babilonia zu gbegbe le dukɔwo dome ale!
Yeka ukwephuka lokucezuka kwesando somhlaba wonke! Yeka ukuchitheka kweBhabhiloni phakathi kwezizwe!
24 O Babilonia, metre mɔ na wò eye mɔ ɖe wò hafi nèva nya gɔ̃ hã. Woke ɖe ŋuwò eye wolé wò elabena ètsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
Ngakuthiya ngomjibila, wena Bhabhiloni, wabanjwa ungakakwazi lokho; waficwa wathunjwa, ngoba wamelana loThixo.
25 Yehowa ʋu eƒe aʋawɔnuwo ƒe ʋɔ eye wòɖe eƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ ƒe aʋawɔnu do goe, elabena dɔ le Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ŋu wòawɔ le Babiloniatɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
UThixo usevule indlu yakhe yezikhali wakhupha izikhali zolaka lwakhe, ngoba uThixo Wobukhosi, uSomandla ulomsebenzi okumele awenze elizweni lamaKhaladiya.
26 Mitso adzɔge miava ƒo ɖe edzi. Migbã eƒe nuɖuɖudzraɖoƒewo, milɔe ƒo ƒu abe ale si wolia kɔ agblemenukuwo ene. Mitsrɔ̃e keŋkeŋ eye migasusɔ ame ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ hã ɖi o.
Wozani kuyo limelane layo livela kude. Fohlelani eziphaleni zayo; liyibuthelele njengezinqumbi zamabele. Ichitheni okupheleleyo lingayitshiyeli nsalela.
27 Miwu eƒe nyitsu viwo katã; mikplɔ wo yi lãwuƒee! Baba na wo! Elabena woƒe ŋkeke la ɖo, ɣeyiɣi la de na wo be woaxɔ tohehe.
Bulalani zonke inkunzi zayo ezisesengamaguqa; ziwiseleni phansi ekuhlatshweni! Maye kubo! Ngoba usuku lwabo selufikile, isikhathi sabo sokujeziswa.
28 Miɖo to miase Babilonia ƒe aʋaléleawo kple aʋasilawo ƒe nya si gblɔm wole le Zion tso ale si Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la bia hlɔ̃ woe, ebia hlɔ̃ na eƒe gbedoxɔ.
Lalelani ababalekayo labaphephileyo abavela eBhabhiloni bememezela eZiyoni ngokuphindisela uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu asekwenzile, ukuphindisela ngenxa yethempeli lakhe.
29 “Miyɔ aŋutrɔdalawo vɛ, ne woaɖe to ɖe Babilonia, ame siwo katã hea da me la neva. Miva ɖe to ɖee godoo va kpe, migana ame aɖeke nasi o. Mixe nu siwo katã wòwɔ la ƒe fe nɛ, miwɔe nɛ abe ale si eya hã wɔe na ame bubuwo ene. Elabena edze aglã ɖe Yehowa, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la ŋu.
Bizani abemitshoko bahlasele iBhabhiloni, bonke labo abaphatha amadandili. Ihanqeni inxa zonke; kungabikhona ophunyukayo. Iphindiseleni izenzo zayo; yenzani kuyo njengekwenzileyo. Ngoba idelele uThixo, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
30 Eya ta eƒe ɖekakpuiwo aku akaka ɖe mɔtatawo dzi eye ɖoɖoe azi le eƒe asrafowo nu gbe ma gbe.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngakho izinsizwa zayo zizakuwa emigwaqweni; ngalolosuku wonke amabutho ayo azabulawa,” kutsho uThixo.
31 Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, metso ɖe ŋutiwò, O dadala, elabena wò ŋkeke la va ɖo, wò toheɣi ɖo.
“Khangela, ngimelane lawe, wena oyisiqholo,” kutsho uThixo, uThixo uSomandla, “ngoba usuku lwakho selufikile, isikhathi sokujeziswa kwakho.
32 Dadala la akli nu adze anyi eye ame aɖeke mafɔe ɖe tsitrenu o. Matɔ dzo eƒe duwo eye dzo la afia ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe la hã.”
Oyisiqholo uzakhubeka awe, njalo kakho ozamsiza amvuse. Ngizabasa umlilo emadolobheni akhe ozaqothula bonke abakhelene laye.”
33 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔe nye esi: “Wote Israelviwo kple Yudatɔwo siaa ɖe anyi. Ame siwo katã ɖe aboyo wo la lé wo goŋgoŋ, eye wogbe asiɖeɖe le wo ŋu.
UThixo uSomandla uthi: “Abantu bako-Israyeli bancindezelwe, kanye labantu bakoJuda futhi. Bonke abathumbi babo babagagadlele, besala ukubadedela bahambe.
34 Evɔ la, woƒe Xɔnametɔ nye ŋusẽtɔ hafi, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔe nye eŋkɔ. Aʋli wo ta vevie, ale be wòana gbɔdzɔe woƒe anyigba, gake ana ame siwo katã le Babilonia la natsi dzimaɖi.”
Kodwa uMhlengi wabo ulamandla; uThixo uSomandla yilo ibizo lakhe. Uzavikela imfanelo zabo ngamandla ukuze alethe ukuthula elizweni labo, kodwa ukuxokozela kulabo abahlala eBhabhiloni.
35 Yehowa be, “Yi le Babiloniatɔwo yome! Etso ɖe ame siwo le Babilonia, woƒe dumegãwo kple woƒe nunyalawo ŋuti!
Inkemba imelana lamaKhaladiya,” kutsho uThixo, “imelane lalabo abahlala eBhabhiloni kanye lezikhulu zayo lezihlakaniphi zayo!
36 Yi atso ɖe eƒe aʋatsonyagblɔɖilawo ŋu eye woazu bometsilawo. Yi ati woƒe kalẽtɔwo yome eye ŋɔdzi alé wo!
Inkemba izamelana labaphrofethi balo bamanga! Bazakuba yizithutha. Inkemba izamelana lamabutho ayo! Azakuba lokwesaba okukhulu.
37 Yi atso ɖe eƒe sɔwo, tasiaɖamwo kple amedzro siwo katã wotsɔ aʋae la ŋuti eye woanɔ abe nyɔnuwo ene! Yi atso ɖe eƒe kesinɔnuwo ŋu eye woaha wo!
Inkemba izamelana lamabhiza ayo lezinqola zempi labo bonke abezizweni abakuyo! Bazakuba ngabafazi. Inkemba izamelana lenotho yayo! Izaphangwa.
38 Kuɖiɖi neto eƒe tɔsisiwo me, ne woamie ƒiaƒiaƒia, elabena enye anyigba si yɔ fũu kple legbawo, legba siwo adze aɖaʋa le ŋɔdzi ta.”
Kuzakuba lokoma kwamanzi ayo! Azacitsha. Ngoba yilizwe lezithombe, izithombe ezizahlanya ngenxa yokwesaba.
39 Yehowa be, “Ava eme be lã wɔadãwo kple amegaxiwo anɔ afi ma, eye golowo hã atso aƒe ɖe afi ma. Maganye amenɔƒe alo amewo magatso aƒe ɖi akpɔ o, tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
Ngakho izidalwa zasenkangala lezimpisi zizahlala khona, lesikhova sizahlala khona. Akusayikwakhiwa kuyo lanini kumbe kuhlalwe kuyo kusukela kusizukulwane kusiya kusizukulwane.
40 Anɔ ko abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Sodom kple Gomora kple du siwo ƒo xlã wo lae ene, ale be ame aɖeke magatso aƒe ɖi o eye ame aɖeke manɔ afi ma hã o.”
Njengalokhu uNkulunkulu wachitha iSodoma leGomora ndawonye lamadolobho ayeseduzane lawo,” kutsho uThixo, “ngokunjalo kakho ozahlala khona; akulamuntu ozahlala phakathi kwayo.
41 “Kpɔ ɖa! Aʋakɔ aɖe ho tso anyiehe gbɔna, wode adã ta me na dukɔ gã aɖe kple fia gbogbo aɖewo tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke gbɔna.
Khangelani! Ibutho liyeza livela enyakatho; isizwe esikhulu lamakhosi amanengi bayadungwa kusukela emikhawulweni yomhlaba.
42 Wogbɔna kple aŋutrɔ kple akplɔ. Woƒe ta me sẽ, eye womekpɔa nublanui o. Esi wole woƒe sɔwo dzi gbɔna la, woƒe hoowɔwɔ le abe atsiaƒue dze agbo ene. Wobla akpa abe ame siwo dze aʋa ɖi ene be woava akpe aʋa kpli wò, Oo, Babilonia vinyɔnu.
Bahlome ngamadandili langemikhonto; balesihluku, kabalasihawu. Bezwakala njengolwandle oluhlokomayo lapho begade amabhiza abo; beza njengabantu abalungele impi ukuba bakuhlasele, wena Ndodakazi yaseBhabhiloni.
43 Babilonia fia se nya tso wo ŋu xoxo eye eƒe lãme fa. Vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe eye wòse veve abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la ene.
INkosi yaseBhabhiloni isiyizwile imibiko ngabo, njalo izandla zayo zilenga zingelamandla. Usizi seluyibambile, ubuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ohelelwayo.
44 Abe dzata si do go tso Yɔdan ƒe ave dodo me, hege ɖe gbe dama nyui dzi ene la, nenema maɖe Babilonia ɖe nu tso eƒe anyigba dzi zi ɖeka kpoyi! Ame kae nye ame tiatia si madɔ wòawɔ esia? Ame kae le abe nye ene eye ame kae ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe nunye? Alẽkplɔla ka ate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe ŋunye?”
Njengesilwane siphuma emahlathini aseJodani sisiya emadlelweni amahle, iBhabhiloni ngizayixotsha elizweni layo ngesikhatshana. Ngubani okhethiweyo engizamkhethela lokhu na? Ngubani onjengami, ngubani ongamelana lami? Njalo nguphi umelusi ongajamelana lami na?”
45 Eya ta se nu si Yehowa ɖo ɖe Babilonia ŋu kple nu si ƒe susu wòwɔ ɖi ɖe Babiloniatɔwo ƒe anyigba ŋu: Woakplɔ lãha ƒe suetɔwo adzoe, agblẽ woƒe gbeɖuƒe keŋkeŋkeŋ le woƒe nuwɔwɔwo ta.
Ngakho, zwanini lokho uThixo asecebe ukukwenza ngeBhabhiloni, asemise ukukwenza ngelizwe lamaKhaladiya: Amazinyane omhlambi azadonselwa le, amadlelo awo uzawatshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yabo.
46 Babilonia xɔxɔ ƒe ɣli ana anyigba naʋuʋu, eye eƒe aviɣli aɖi le dukɔwo dome.
Ekuzwakaleni komsindo wokuthunjwa kweBhabhiloni umhlaba uzagedezela; ukukhala kwayo kuzazwakala phakathi kwezizwe.
