6 No hewɔ lɛ, amɛmɔ Yeremia ni amɛshɛ lɛ amɛfɔ̃ Malkia, maŋtsɛ lɛ binuu lɛ bu ni akɛtoɔ nu ni yɔɔ Bulɔi Akpo+ lɛ nɔ lɛ mli. Amɛkɛ kpãi shiu Yeremia amɛwo mli. No mli lɛ, nu bɛ bu ni akɛtoɔ nu lɛ mli, ŋmɔtɔ sɔŋŋ yɔɔ mli, ni Yeremia bɔi fũu yɛ ŋmɔtɔ lɛ mli.

7 Ebed-melek,+ Etiopianyo lɛ, ni ji maŋtsɛ shĩa lɛ onukpai lɛ ateŋ mɔ kome lɛ, nu akɛ, akɛ Yeremia ewo bu ni akɛtoɔ nu lɛ mli. No mli lɛ, maŋtsɛ lɛ ta Benyamin Agbó+ lɛ mli, 8 no hewɔ lɛ, Ebed-melek je kpo kɛjɛ maŋtsɛ lɛ shĩa lɛ mli ni ekɛ maŋtsɛ lɛ yawie akɛ: 9 “Ao minuŋtsɔ maŋtsɛ, nɔ ni hii nɛɛ efee gbalɔ Yeremia lɛ, efɔŋ ni!

10 Kɛkɛ ni maŋtsɛ lɛ fã Ebed-melek, Etiopianyo lɛ akɛ: “Ŋɔɔ hii 30 kɛjɛ biɛ ofata ohe, ni oyajie gbalɔ Yeremia kɛje bu ni akɛtoɔ nu lɛ mli dani egbo.” 11 No hewɔ lɛ, Ebed-melek ŋɔ hii lɛ efata ehe ni etee maŋtsɛ lɛ shĩa yɛ tsũ ni yɔɔ jwetritoohe+ lɛ shishi lɛ mli, ni amɛyakɔlɔ mamashwɛi komɛi kɛ atadei komɛi ni etserɛ yɛ jɛmɛ, ni amɛkɛ kpãi shiu nibii nɛɛ amɛhã Yeremia yɛ bu ni akɛtoɔ nu lɛ mli. 12 Kɛkɛ ni Ebed-melek, Etiopianyo lɛ kɛɛ Yeremia akɛ: “Ofainɛ, okɛ mamashwɛi lɛ kɛ atadei ni etserɛ lɛ awo oŋaashi kɛ kpãi lɛ ateŋ.” Yeremia fee nakai, 13 ni amɛkɛ kpãi lɛ shá Yeremia ni amɛjie lɛ kɛje bu ni akɛtoɔ nu lɛ mli. Ni Yeremia tee nɔ ehi Bulɔi Akpo+ lɛ nɔ.

14 Maŋtsɛ Zedekia tsu ni ayatsɛ gbalɔ Yeremia kɛba eŋɔɔ yɛ he ni ji etɛ nɔ ni atsɔɔ kɛboteɔ Yehowa shĩa lɛ mli lɛ naa, ni maŋtsɛ lɛ kɛɛ Yeremia akɛ: “Miyɛ nɔ ko ni miitao mabi bo.

Ni kɛ́ miwo bo ŋaa hu lɛ, oboŋ mi toi.” 16 No hewɔ lɛ, Maŋtsɛ Zedekia kã Yeremia kitã yɛ teemɔŋ akɛ: “Gbii abɔ ni Yehowa, mɔ ni hã wɔ wala nɛɛ* hiɛ kã nɛɛ, migbeŋ bo, ni mikɛ bo woŋ hii nɛɛ ni miitao ashɔ̃ owala yɛ odɛŋ nɛɛ* adɛŋ.”

17 Kɛkɛ ni Yeremia kɛɛ Zedekia akɛ: “Nɔ ni Yehowa, Nyɔŋmɔ taiatsɛ lɛ, Israel Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ kɛɛ nɛ, ‘Kɛ́ okɛ ohe yahã Babilon maŋtsɛ lɛ lumɛi lɛ,* akpãtãŋ owala hiɛ,* ni akɛ la eshãŋ maŋ nɛɛ, ni akpãtãŋ bo kɛ oshĩabii lɛ ahiɛ.+ 18 Shi kɛ́ okɛ ohe eyahãaa Babilon maŋtsɛ lɛ lumɛi lɛ,* akɛ maŋ nɛɛ baawo Kaldeabii lɛ adɛŋ, ni amɛkɛ la baashã maŋ lɛ,+ ni ojeŋ amɛdɛŋ.’”+

Amɛhã onane efũ yɛ ŋmɔtɔ lɛ mli.

23 Amɛkɛ oŋamɛi lɛ kɛ obii lɛ fɛɛ miiba Kaldeabii lɛ aŋɔɔ, ni ojeŋ amɛdɛŋ, shi moŋ, Babilon maŋtsɛ lɛ baamɔ bo,+ ni akɛ la baashã maŋ nɛɛ yɛ ohewɔ.”+

24 Kɛkɛ ni Zedekia kɛɛ Yeremia akɛ: “Kaahã mɔ ko mɔ ko le nibii nɛɛ koni okagbo. 25 Ni kɛ́ lumɛi lɛ nu akɛ mikɛ bo ewie, ni amɛba oŋɔɔ ni amɛkɛɛ bo akɛ, ‘Ofainɛ, kɛɛmɔ wɔ nɔ ni okɛɛ maŋtsɛ lɛ. Okɛ nɔ kɔ nɔ ko akatee wɔ, ni wɔgbeŋ bo.+ Mɛni maŋtsɛ lɛ kɛɛ bo?’ 26 Kɛɛmɔ amɛ akɛ, ‘Mikpa maŋtsɛ lɛ fai akɛ ekɛ mi akahã kɛku sɛɛ kɛtee Yehonatan shĩa lɛ ni miyagbo yɛ jɛmɛ.’”+
