4 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
5 “Ngingakakubumbi esiswini ngakwazi, ungakazalwa ngakukhetha ngakubeka ukuba ngumphrofethi ezizweni.”
“Hafi mava me wò ɖe dawò ƒe dɔ me la, menya wò; hafi woava dzi wò la, mekɔ ŋutiwò da ɖi eye meɖo wò Nyagblɔɖilae na dukɔwo.”
6 Mina ngathi, “Awu Thixo Somandla; ukukhuluma angikwazi, ngoba ngingumntwana nje.”
Ke megblɔ be, “O, Aƒetɔ Mawu, nyemenya nuƒoƒo o eye ɖevi ko meganye.”
7 Kodwa uThixo wathi kimi, “Ungaze wathi, ‘Ngingumntwana nje.’ Kumele uye kubo bonke engikuthuma kubo njalo utsho loba kuyini engikulaya khona.
Ke Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mègagblɔ be, ‘Ɖevi ko menye’ o. Ele na wò be nàyi ame sia ame si gbɔ medɔ wò ɖo eye nàwɔ nu sia nu si ƒe se mede na wò.
8 Ungabesabi, ngoba mina ngilawe njalo ngizakuhlenga,” kutsho uThixo.
Mègavɔ̃ na wo o, elabena meli kpli wò be maɖe wò.” Yehowae gblɔe.
9 UThixo waseselula isandla sakhe wathinta umlomo wami wathi kimi, “Khathesi, sengifake amazwi ami emlonyeni wakho.
Emegbe Yehowa do eƒe asi ɖa tsɔ tɔ nu nam eye wògblɔ nam be, “Azɔ metsɔ nye nyawo de wò nu me.
10 Khangela, lamhla ngikubeka phezu kwezizwe lemibuso ukuba usiphune udilize, ubhubhise njalo uchithe; ukuba wakhe njalo uhlanyele.”
Kpɔ ɖa, egbe meɖo wò nyagblɔɖilae na dukɔwo kple fiaɖuƒewo be nàho nu, avuvu nu, agblẽ nu, amu nuwo aƒu anyi, nàtso aƒe, eye nàdo nu.”
11 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lathi, “Kuyini okubonayo, Jeremiya?” Ngaphendula ngathi, “Ngibona ugatsha lwesihlahla se-alimondi.”
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam bena, “Nu ka kpɔm nèle, Yeremia?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Mele yevuziti ƒe alɔdze kpɔm.”
12 UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Ubone kuhle, ngoba ngilindele ukubona ukuthi ilizwi lami ligcwalisekile.”
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be, “Èkpɔe tututu, elabena manɔ ŋute akpɔ egbɔ be nye nya va eme.”
13 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi futhi: “Kuyini okubonayo?” Mina ngaphendula ngathi, “Ngibona imbiza ebilayo, ithambeke ifulathele inyakatho.”
Yehowa ƒe nya gava nam be, “Nu ka kpɔm nèle?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Mekpɔ ze si me tsi le fiefiem le, eye wòviã ɖe anyiehe gome.”
14 UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Incithakalo evela enyakatho izakwehliselwa phezu kwabo bonke abahlala elizweni.
Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Gbegblẽ atso anyiehe ava ƒo ɖe anyigbadzinɔlawo katã dzi.
15 Sekuseduze ukuba ngibize bonke abantu bemibuso yasenyakatho,” kutsho uThixo. “Amakhosi abo azakuza amise izihlalo zawo zobukhosi emasangweni aseJerusalema; bazakumelana lemiduli yalo yonke eligombolozeleyo kanye lamadolobho wonke akoJuda.
Esusɔ vie maƒo dzigbemefiaɖuƒe la me nɔlawo katã nu ƒu.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Woƒe fiawo ava li woƒe fiazikpuiwo anyi ɖe Yerusalem ƒe agbowo nu, woava ɖe to ɖe eƒe gliwo katã kple Yuda duwo katã ŋu.
16 Ngizamemezela ukwahlulela kwami ebantwini bami ngenxa yobubi babo bokungidela, betshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha, langokukhonza lokho okwenziwa ngezandla zabo.
Mabu fɔ nye amewo ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi si wowɔ hegblẽm ɖi, eye wodo dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na mawu bubuwo hesubɔ nu siwo woawo ŋutɔ wɔ kple asi la ta.
17 Wena zilungiselele! Sukuma ubatshele lokho engizakulaya khona. Ungathuthumeliswa yibo hlezi ngikwenze uthuthumele phambi kwabo.
“Dzra ɖokuiwò ɖo! Tso kpla ne nàgblɔ nu siwo katã megblɔ na wò la na wo. Womegadzi ŋɔ na wò o, ne menye nenema o la, mado ŋɔdzi na wò le wo ŋkume.
18 Lamhla sengikwenze waba lidolobho elivikelweyo, insika yensimbi lomduli wethusi ukuba umelane lelizwe lonke, umelane lamakhosi akoJuda, izikhulu zakhona, abaphristi bakhona kanye labantu bakhona.

19 Bazakulwa lawe, kodwa kabayikukwehlula, ngoba ngilawe njalo ngizakuhlenga,” kutsho uThixo.
Woawɔ avu kpli wò, gake womaɖu dziwò o, elabena meli kpli wò be maɖe wò.” Yehowae gblɔe.
