UJeremiya 7
1 Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini lisithi:
Esiae nye gbedeasi tso Yehowa gbɔ na Yeremia:
2 Mana esangweni lendlu yeNkosi umemezele khona lelilizwi uthi: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, lina bonke bakoJuda, abangena kulamasango ukuzakhonza iNkosi.
“Tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe agbonu, eye tso afi ma nàɖe gbeƒã nya sia: “‘Mise Yehowa ƒe nya, mi Yudatɔ siwo katã to agbo sia me yina be miasubɔ Yehowa.
3 Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli: Lungisani indlela zenu lezenzo zenu, khona ngizalenza ukuthi lihlale kulindawo.
Ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: Miɖɔ miaƒe mɔwo kple miaƒe nuwɔnawo ɖo eye mana mianɔ teƒe sia.
4 Lingathembi lina emazwini amanga okuthi: La alithempeli leNkosi, ithempeli leNkosi, ithempeli leNkosi.
Migaxɔ beblenyawo dzi se ahanɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ o!”
5 Ngoba uba lilungisisa lokulungisa izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu; uba lisenza lokwenza isahlulelo phakathi komuntu lomakhelwane wakhe;
Ne mieɖɔ miaƒe mɔwo kple miaƒe nuwɔnawo ɖo vavã eye ne mieto nyateƒe le miaƒe nuwɔnawo me kple mia nɔewo,
6 lingacindezeli owezizweni, intandane, lomfelokazi, lingachithi igazi elingelacala kulindawo; futhi lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukuze kube kubi kini;
ne miete amedzrowo, tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo ɖe to o eye miekɔ ʋu maɖifɔ ɖi le teƒe sia o; ne miedze mawu bubuwo yome hena miawo ŋutɔ ƒe gbegblẽ o la,
7 khona ngizalenza ukuthi lihlale kulindawo, elizweni engalinika oyihlo, kusukela endulo kuze kube nininini.
ekema mana mianɔ teƒe sia le anyigba si metsɔ na mia fofowo be wòanye wo tɔ tegbee la dzi.
8 Khangelani, lina lithembela emazwini amanga angasizi lutho.
Gake mikpɔ ɖa miele dzi ɖom ɖe beblenya siwo nye toflokowo la ŋuti.
9 Lizakweba, libulale, lifebe, lifunge amanga, litshisele uBhali impepha, lilandele abanye onkulunkulu elingabaziyo yini?
“‘Ɖe miagafi fi, awu ame, awɔ ahasi, aka atam dzodzro, ado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Baal eye miadze mawu bubu siwo mienya o la yome vɔ,
10 Beselisiza lime phambi kwami kulindlu, ebizwa ngebizo lami, lithi: Sikhululwe ukuze senze zonke lezizinengiso.
emegbe miagava atsi tsitre ɖe ŋkunye me le aƒe sia si ŋuti woyɔ nye Ŋkɔ ɖo la me ahagblɔ be, “Míele dedie. Míele dedie,” ne miawɔ ŋunyɔnu siawo katã?
11 Indlu le, ebizwa ngebizo lami, isibe lubhalu lwabaphangi emehlweni enu yini? Khangelani, mina sengibonile, itsho iNkosi.
Ɖe aƒe sia si ŋuti woyɔ nye Ŋkɔ ɖo la zu adzodalawo ƒe do na mia? Ke nye la, mele ekpɔm!’” Yehowae gblɔe.
12 Ngoba yanini khathesi endaweni yami eseShilo, lapho engamisa khona ibizo lami kuqala, libone engikwenzileyo kiyo ngenxa yobubi babantu bami uIsrayeli.
“Mitso azɔ ne miayi ɖe Silo afi si mewɔ nɔƒe ɖo zi gbãtɔ na nye Ŋkɔ, ne miakpɔ ale si mewɔe le nye dukɔ, Israel ƒe nu tovo wɔwɔ ta.
13 Khathesi-ke, ngoba lenzile yonke le imisebenzi, itsho iNkosi, njalo ngikhulumile lani, ngivuka ngovivi ngikhuluma, kodwa kalizwanga, ngalibiza, kodwa kaliphendulanga;
Yehowa be, ‘Esi mienɔ nu siawo katã wɔm la, meƒo nu na mi zi geɖe gake miesee o, meyɔ mi gake mietɔ o.
14 ngakho ngizakwenza kulindlu, ebizwa ngebizo lami, elithemba kiyo, lakundawo engayinika lina laboyihlo, njengalokho engakwenza eShilo.
Eya ta nu si mewɔ na Silo la, eya kee mawɔ azɔ na aƒe si ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo, gbedoxɔ si ŋuti mieɖo ŋu ɖo kple teƒe si metsɔ na mi kple mia fofowo.
15 Njalo ngizalixotsha lisuke ebusweni bami, njengalokho ngaxotsha bonke abafowenu, inzalo yonke kaEfrayimi.
Manya mi ɖa tso nye ŋkume abe ale si mewɔ mia nɔvi Efraimviwo ene.’
16 Ngakho wena ungabakhulekeli lababantu, ungabaphakamiseli ukukhala loba umkhuleko, ungalabheli kimi, ngoba kangiyikukuzwa.
“Eya ta, mègado gbe ɖa ɖe dukɔ sia ta o. Mègaɖe kuku ɖe wo nu alo aƒo koko ɖe wo ta o, eye mègaƒoe ɖe nunye o, elabena nyemaɖo to wò o.
17 Kawukuboni yini abakwenza emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema?
Mèle nu si wɔm wole le Yuda duwo me kple Yerusalem ƒe ablɔwo dzi la kpɔm oa?
18 Abantwana batheza inkuni, laboyise baphembe umlilo, labesifazana baxove inhlama, ukuze benzele indlovukazi yamazulu amaqebelengwana, bathululele abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokunathwayo, ukuze bangithukuthelise.
Ɖeviwo le nake fɔm, wo fofowo le dzo dom, wo dadawo le amɔ blum ne woame akpɔnɔ na Dziƒofianyɔnu. Woƒo aha ɖi na mawu bubuwo ne woatsɔ ado dziku nam.
19 Bathukuthelisa mina yini? itsho iNkosi. Kabazenzeni yini kuze kusanganiseke ubuso babo?
Yehowa be, ‘Nyee wole dziku dom na? Ɖe menye woawo ŋutɔ boŋue le nuvevi wɔm wo ɖokui hena woƒe ŋukpe oa?’
20 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, intukuthelo yami lolaka lwami kuzathululelwa kulindawo, phezu komuntu, laphezu kwenyamazana, laphezu kwezihlahla zasendle, laphezu kwesithelo somhlabathi; njalo kuzakutsha, kungacitshwa.
“Eya ta, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Woatrɔ nye dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ akɔ ɖe teƒe sia dzi, ɖe amewo kple lãwo siaa dzi, ɖe atiwo kple gbewo kple atikutsetse siwo le anyigba dzi la dzi woabi dzo eye womatsi o.’
21 Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Fakani iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa kanye lemihlatshelo yenu, lidle inyama.
“Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miyi edzi, mitsɔ miaƒe numevɔsawo kpe ɖe akpedavɔsawo ŋu eye miawo ŋutɔ miaɖu lã la.
22 Ngoba kangikhulumanga kuboyihlo, njalo kangibalayanga ngosuku engabakhupha ngalo elizweni leGibhithe, mayelana lendaba zeminikelo yokutshiswa kumbe imihlatshelo.
Elabena esi mekplɔ mia fofowo tso Egipte heƒo nu na wo la, nyemede se na wo tso numevɔsa kple akpedavɔsawo ko ŋu o.
23 Kodwa ngabalaya le into ngisithi: Lalelani ilizwi lami, njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wenu, lina-ke libe ngabantu bami; njalo hambani ngayo yonke indlela engililaya yona, ukuze kulilungele.
Ke boŋ mede se sia na wo. Miwɔ ɖe nye gbe dzi ekema manye miaƒe Mawu eye mianye nye dukɔ. Mizɔ le mɔ siwo ƒe se mede na mi la dzi, be wòanyo na mi.
24 Kodwa kabalalelanga, kabathobanga indlebe yabo; kodwa bahamba ngamacebo, ngenkani yenhliziyo yabo embi, bahlehlela nyovane, hatshi-ke phambili.
Gake womeɖo to alo see nam gɔ̃ hã o, ke boŋ wowɔ nu dzeaglã siwo woƒe dzi vɔ̃ɖiwo gblɔ na wo. Wote gbugbɔɖemegbezɔzɔ, eye womezɔ yi ŋgɔ o.
25 Kusukela osukwini oyihlo abaphuma ngalo elizweni leGibhithe kuze kube yilolusuku, ngithume kini zonke inceku zami, abaprofethi, insuku ngensuku ngivuka ngovivi, ngithuma.
Tso gbe si gbe mia fofowo ʋu tso Egipte va se ɖe fifia la, meɖo nye nyagblɔɖilawo ɖe mi gbe sia gbe kple ga sia ga me.
26 Kanti kabangilalelanga, njalo kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa benza intamo yabo yaba lukhuni; benza kubi kulaboyise.
Gake womeɖo to alo see nam o. Wonye kɔlialiatɔwo, eye wowɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi wu wo fofowo.’
27 Ngakho uzakhuluma wonke lamazwi kibo, kodwa kabayikukulalela; futhi uzababiza, kodwa kabayikukuphendula.
“Ne ègblɔ nu siawo katã na wo la, womaɖo to wò o. Ne èyɔ wo la, womatɔ na wò o.
28 Ngakho uzakuthi kibo: Lesi yisizwe esingalaleli ilizwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu waso, lesingemukeli ukulaywa; iqiniso liphelile, liqunyiwe emlonyeni waso.
Eya ta gblɔ na wo be, ‘Esiae nye dukɔ si meɖo to Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la alo ɖoa to ɖɔɖɔɖo o. Nyateƒe tsrɔ̃, eye wòbu le woƒe nuyiwo dzi.
29 Gela inwele zakho, wena Jerusalema, uzilahle, uphakamise isililo emadundulwini; ngoba iNkosi isalile yasidela isizukulwana solaka lwayo.
“‘Lũ ta, eye nàtsɔ ɖa la aƒu gbe. Lia to kɔkɔ ƒeƒlewo, nɔ anyi nàdzi konyifaha elabena Yehowa gbe nu le dzidzime si le eƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ te la gbɔ eye wògblee ɖi.’”
30 Ngoba abantwana bakoJuda benzile ububi emehlweni ami, itsho iNkosi; babekile izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngebizo lami, ukuze bayingcolise.
“Yehowa be, ‘Yuda dukɔ wɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le ŋkunye me. Woli woƒe legba nyɔŋuwo ɖe aƒe si ŋu woyɔ nye Ŋkɔ ɖo la me hedo gui.
31 Bakhile-ke indawo eziphakemeyo zeTofethi, ezisesihotsheni sendodana kaHinomu, ukuze batshise amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo ngomlilo; engingabalayanga khona, lokungavelanga enhliziyweni yami.
Wotu nuxeƒewo na Tofet ɖe Ben Hinom ƒe Balime, be woatɔ dzo wo viŋutsuwo kple vinyɔnuwo le afi ma, nu si meva tame nam kaka mayi mɔ ɖe ge le eŋu na wo o.’
32 Ngakho khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho engasayikubizwa ngokuthi yiTofethi, loba isihotsha sendodana kaHinomu, kodwa isihotsha sokubulala; ngoba bazangcwaba eTofethi, kuze kungabi landawo.
Eya ta Yehowa be, ‘Mikpɔ nyuie elabena ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi amewo magayɔe be Tofet alo Ben Hinom ƒe Balime o, ke boŋ woayɔe be, ku ƒe balime, elabena woaɖi ame kukuwo ɖe Tofet va se ɖe esime teƒe maganɔ anyi o.’
33 Lezidumbu zalababantu zizakuba yikudla kwenyoni zamazulu, lezezinyamazana zomhlaba, kungekho ozazethusa.
Ekema ame kukuawo ƒe ŋutilã azu nuɖuɖu na dziƒoxewo kple lã wɔadãwo, eye ame aɖeke manɔ anyi si anya wo o.
34 Khona ngizakwenza kuphele emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema ilizwi lenjabulo, lelizwi lentokozo, ilizwi lomyeni, lelizwi likamakoti, ngoba ilizwe lizakuba lunxiwa.
Mana aseyetsotso, dzidzɔhawo, ɣlidodo ɖe ŋugbetɔ kple ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ŋu natɔ te le Yuda duwo me kple Yerusalem ƒe ablɔwo dzi, elabena anyigba la azu gbegbe.
