Yeremia 8
1 “Yehowa be, ‘Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Yuda fiawo kple woƒe dumegãwo ƒe ƒuwo, nunɔlawo kple nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe ƒuwo kple Yerusalem nɔlawo ƒe ƒuwo la, woaɖe wo le woƒe yɔdowo me.
“‘Ngalesosikhathi, kutsho uThixo, amathambo amakhosi akoJuda lawezikhulu zakhona, amathambo abaphristi lawabaphrofethi, kanye lamathambo abantu baseJerusalema azakhutshwa emangcwabeni awo.
2 Woasia wo, eye ɣe aɖu wo, ɣleti kple dziƒoŋunuwo aklẽ ɖe wo dzi, nu siwo wotsɔ lɔlɔ̃ na hesubɔ nu siwo yome wodze hebia nu le wo gbɔ eye wode ta agu na wo. Womafɔ wo alo aɖi wo o, ke boŋ woanɔ abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene anɔ anyigba.
Azachaywa elangeni lasenyangeni lakuzo zonke izinkanyezi zasemazulwini, abakuthandayo bakukhonza njalo abakulandelayo bakubuza bakudumisa. Kawayikubuthwa loba angcwatshwe, kodwa azakuba njengezibi phezu komhlabathi.
3 Afi sia afi si manya wo aɖo ɖo la, dukɔ vɔ̃ɖi sia ƒe ame mamlɛawo adi ku wu agbe.’” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
Loba kungaphi engibaxotshela khona, bonke abasilayo balesisizwe esibi bazakhetha ukufa kulokuphila, kutsho uThixo uSomandla.’”
4 Gblɔ na wo be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Ne amewo dze anyi la, ɖe womegafɔna oa? Ne wotra mɔ la, ɖe womegatrɔna gbɔna oa?
“Wothi kubo, ‘UThixo uthi: Abantu bangawa, kabavuki na? Omunye angaphambuka, kaphenduki na?
5 Ekema nu ka ta ame siawo trɔ dzo ɖo? Nu ka ta Yerusalem le megbe dem ɣe sia ɣi? Woku ɖe beble ŋuti eye wogbe be yewomatrɔ o.
Pho kungani abantu laba bedukile? Kungani iJerusalema lihlala liseduka? Bayanamathela enkohlisweni, bayala ukuphenduka.
6 Meɖo to nyuie, gake womele nu si le eteƒe la gblɔm o. Ame ɖeka pɛ hã meli si eƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi venɛ, eye wògblɔna be, “Nu kae nye esi mehewɔ o?” Ame sia ame lé eƒe mɔ tsɔ abe sɔe lũ ɖe aʋa me ene.
Ngilalele ngesineke, kodwa kabatsho okulungileyo. Kakho ophenduka ebubini bakhe, esithi, “Kuyini engikwenzileyo na?” Yilowo lalowo ulandela indlela yakhe njengebhiza lizithela empini.
7 Akpaviã le yame ke hã nya eƒe azãgbewo, akpakpa, sagbadre kple tsalĩ, nya ɣeyiɣi si wòle be woaʋu adzo. Gake nye dukɔ ya menya Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo o.
Lengabuzane emoyeni liyazazi izikhathi zalo zomnyaka, lejuba, lenkonjane lohemu kuyasigcina isikhathi sakho sokuthutha. Kodwa abantu bami kabakwazi okufunwa nguThixo.
8 “‘Aleke wɔ miate ŋu agblɔ be, “Míenye nunyalawo, elabena Yehowa ƒe se la le mía si,” evɔ le nyateƒe me, agbalẽfialawo ƒe nuŋlɔti trɔe wòzu aʋatso’ o?
Lingatsho kanjani ukuthi, “Sihlakaniphile, ngoba silomthetho kaThixo,” lona iqiniso kuyikuthi amanga alotshwe ngosiba lwababhali asenze umthetho wangabi liqiniso?
9 Ŋu akpe nunyalawo, woƒe mo atsi dãa, eye mɔ aɖe wo. Esi wogbe Yehowa ƒe nya la, nunya ka ƒomevie le wo si?
Abahlakaniphileyo bazayangiswa, bazakwesaba bathiyeke. Njengoba belalile ilizwi likaThixo, balenhlakanipho bani na?
10 Eya ta maxɔ wo srɔ̃wo atsɔ na ŋutsu bubuwo eye maxɔ woƒe agblewo atsɔ na amedzrowo. Tso ɖeviawo dzi va se ɖe tsitsiawo dzi, wo katã le ŋu biãm ɖe viɖe ŋu. Nyagblɔɖilawo kple Nunɔlawo siaa nye ameblelawo.
Ngakho abafazi babo ngizabapha amanye amadoda lamasimu abo abe ngawabanye abatsha. Kusukela kwabancane kusiya kwabakhulu, bonke bayizihwaba ezifuna inzuzo, banjalo abaphrofethi kanye labaphristi, bonke benza inkohliso.
11 Wobla abi na nye dukɔ abe ɖe menye abi gã aɖeke wònye o ene. Wole gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Ŋutifafa, ŋutifafa’, evɔ wòhenye ŋutifafa aɖeke meli o hafi.
Babopha inxeba labantu bami kungathi kalilibi kakhulu. Bathi, “Ukuthula, ukuthula,” khona ukuthula kungekho.
12 Ɖe woƒe ŋunyɔnu siwo wɔm wole la le ŋu kpem na woa? Ao, ŋukpe ɖeka pɛ hã mele mo na wo o eye womenya ale si woƒe mo natsi dãae gɔ̃ hã o. Eya ta woatsi aʋatsilawo dome. Ne mele to hem na wo la, woaƒo wo aƒu anyi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Kambe bayayangeka na ngokuziphatha kwabo okunengisayo? Hatshi, bavele kabalazo inhloni, lokuyangeka kabakwazi. Ngakho bazawela phakathi kwabawileyo, bazakwehliselwa phansi lapho sebejeziswa, kutsho uThixo.
13 Yehowa be, “Maxɔ nuku siwo woxa la le wo si. Wainkawo agbe tsetse, gbo matse ɖe gbotiwo dzi o eye woƒe aŋgbawo ayrɔ. Nu si matsɔ na wo la woaxɔ wo le wo si.”
Ngizabemuka isivuno sabo, kutsho uThixo. Akuyikuba lezithelo ezivinini zabo. Akuyikuba lezithelo zomkhiwa esihlahleni, lamahlamvu aso azabuna. Engibanike khona kuzathathwa kubo.’”
14 “Nu ka ta mienɔ anyi ɖe afi sia ɖo? Miƒo ƒu! Mina míasi ayi ɖe du sesẽwo me ne míatsrɔ̃ ɖe afi ma! Elabena Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ɖoe ɖi be miatsrɔ̃ eye wotsɔ aɖitsi na mí be miano elabena míewɔ nu vɔ̃.
Pho sihlaleleni lapha? Buthanini! Kasibalekeleni emadolobheni avikelweyo siyebhubhela khona! Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu usesilahlele ekubhubheni wasinika amanzi aletshefu ukuba sinathe, ngoba sonile kuye.
15 Míekpɔ mɔ na ŋutifafa gake nu nyui aɖeke meva o. Míekpɔ mɔ na dɔyɔyɔ gake ŋɔdzi koe li.
Sathemba ukuba lokuthula kodwa akubanga lobuhle obukhona, ekubeni kube yisikhathi sokwelatshwa kwaba lokwesaba.
16 Wose futɔ la ƒe sɔwo ƒe afɔzi le keke Dan. Ne woƒe sɔwo xlɔ̃ ko la, anyigba katã nyea zi. Wova be woaʋuʋu anyigba kple nu siwo katã le edzi, du la kple emenɔlawo katã.”
Ukuthimula kwamabhiza esitha kuyezwakala kuvelela koDani, ekukhaleni kwamabhiza amaduna ilizwe lonke liyaqhaqhazela. Zilande ukuzatshwabadela ilizwe lakho konke okukulo, idolobho labo bonke abahlala kulo.
17 “Kpɔ ɖa, madɔ da vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖe mia dome. Da siwo miate ŋu asa gbe ade o eye woaɖu mi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
“Khangelani, ngizathumela phakathi kwenu izinyoka ezilobuhlungu, izinhlangwana ezingeke zithakathwe, njalo zizaliluma,” kutsho uThixo.
18 Oo, nye Akɔfala le xaxa me. Nu te nye dzi ŋu le menye.
Awu Mduduzi wami osizini, inhliziyo yami isiqaleka phakathi kwami.
19 Ɖo to nye dukɔ ƒe avifafa tso anyigba didi aɖe dzi, “Ɖe Yehowa mele Zion oa? Ɖe Fia la megale afi ma oa?” “Nu ka ta wotsɔ woƒe aklamakpakpɛwo kple dutalegba maɖinuwo do dziku nam ɖo?”
Lalela ukukhala kwabantu bami okuvela elizweni elikhatshana besithi: “UThixo kakho eZiyoni na? INkosi yalo kayisekho lapho na?” “Kungani bevuse ulaka lwami ngezifanekiso zabo, langezithombe zezizweni eziyize na?”
20 “Nuŋeɣi va yi, eye dzomeŋɔli hã va yi, gake womeɖe mi o.”
“Ukuvuna sekwedlule, ihlobo seliphelile, kodwa kasihlengwanga.”
21 Esi wogbã nye dukɔ ta la, nye hã megbã, mexa nu eye dzidzi ƒom.
Njengoba abantu bami benqotshiwe lami nginqotshiwe, ngiyalila njalo ukwesaba kungiphethe.
22 Ɖe dɔyɔmi mele Gilead oa? Gbedala aɖeke mele afi ma oa? Ke nu ka ta nye dukɔ ƒe abi mele kukum o?
Akulamuthi yini eGiliyadi? Kakho yini lomelaphi khona? Pho kungani kungekho kwelatshwa kwenxeba labantu bami na?
