Yeremiya 38

1 Sefatiya mwana wa Matani, Gedaliya mwana wa Pasi-Huri, Yukali mwana wa Selemiya, ndi Pasi-Huri mwana wa Malikiya anamva zimene Yeremiya ankawuza anthu onse kuti,

Matan babarima Sefatia, Pashur babarima Gedalia, Selemia babarima Yukal ne Malkia babarima Pashur tee nsɛm a na Yeremia reka kyerɛ nnipa no nyinaa sɛ,

2 “Yehova akuti, ‘Aliyense amene akhale mu mzinda muno adzafa ndi nkhondo njala kapena mliri. Koma aliyense amene atatuluke kukadzipereka kwa Ababuloni adzapulumutsa moyo wake; iyeyo adzakhala ndi moyo.

“Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Obiara a ɔbɛtena kuropɔn yi mu bɛwu wɔ akofena, ɛkɔm anaa ɔyaredɔm ano, nanso obiara a ɔbɛkɔ Babiloniafoɔ afa no bɛtena nkwa mu. Ɔbɛnya ne tiri adidi mu, ɔbɛtena nkwa mu.

3 Mzinda uno udzaperekedwa ndithu kwa gulu lankhondo la mfumu ya ku Babuloni, amene adzawulande.’”

Na yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ, ‘Ampa ara, wɔde saa kuropɔn yi bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene akodɔm nsa, na wɔn na wɔbɛdi so.’”

4 Tsono akuluakuluwo anawuza mfumu kuti, “Munthu uyu ayenera kuphedwa. Iye akutayitsa mtima asilikali pamodzi ndi anthu onse amene atsala mu mzinda muno, chifukwa cha zimene akuwawuza. Munthu ameneyu sakufunira zabwino anthuwa koma chiwonongeko chawo.”

Ɛno enti adwumayɛfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum saa ɔbarima yi. Ɔde nsɛm a ɔreka no bu asraafoɔ a wɔaka wɔ kuropɔn yi mu ne nnipa no nyinaa aba mu. Saa ɔbarima yi nhwehwɛ saa nnipa yi yiedie na mmom wɔn sɛeɛ.”

5 Mfumu Zedekiya anayankha kuti, “Munthuyu ali mʼmanja mwanu. Ine sindingakuletseni chimene mukufuna kumuchitira.”

Ɔhene Sedekia buaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ mo nsam, ɔhene rentumi nyɛ biribiara ntia mo.”

6 Choncho iwo anatenga Yeremiya nakamuponya mʼchitsime cha Malikiya, mwana wa mfumu, chimene chinali mʼbwalo la alonda. Iwo anamutsitsira mʼdzenjemo ndi chingwe. Munalibe madzi koma matope okhaokha, ndipo Yeremiya anamira mʼmatopewo.

Enti wɔfaa Yeremia de no kɔhyɛɛ ɔhene babarima Malkia abura a ɛwɔ awɛmfoɔ adihɔ no mu. Wɔde ntampehoma gyaagyaa no too abura no mu; na nsuo nni mu, mmom atɛkyɛ na na ɛwom, enti Yeremia kɔhyɛɛ atɛkyɛ no mu.

7 Koma Ebedi-Meleki, Mkusi, mmodzi mwa anthu ofulidwa ogwira ntchito mʼnyumba ya mfumu, anamva kuti Yeremiya anamuponya mʼchitsime. Nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti mfumu ili ku chipata cha Benjamini.

Na Ebed-Melek Kusni odwumayɛni a ɔwɔ ahemfie hɔ tee sɛ wɔde Yeremia akɔto abura no mu. Ɛberɛ a ɔhene no te Benyamin Ɛpono hɔ no,

8 Ebedi-Meleki anatuluka ku nyumba ya mfumu kukayiwuza kuti,

Ebed-Melek firii ahemfie hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,

9 “Mbuye wanga mfumu, zimene anthu awa amuchitira mneneri Yeremiya ndi zoyipa kwambiri. Iwo amuponya mʼchitsime, ndipo adzafa ndi njala chifukwa buledi watha mu mzinda muno.”

“Ɔdɛɛfoɔ, deɛ saa nnipa yi ayɛ nyinaa yɛ amumuyɛsɛm a ɛtia odiyifoɔ Yeremia. Wɔato no atwene abura mu, baabi a ɛkɔm bɛkum no wɔ ɛberɛ a burodo asa wɔ kuropɔn yi mu.”

10 Tsono mfumu inalamula Ebedi-Meleki, Mkusi, kuti, “Tenga anthu makumi atatu, ndipo mukamutulutse mʼchitsimemo mneneri Yeremiya asanafe.”

Ɛna ɔhene hyɛɛ Kusni, Ebed-Melek sɛ, “Fa mmarima aduasa firi ha ka wo ho, na monkɔyi odiyifoɔ Yeremia mfiri abura no mu, ansa na wawu.”

11 Pamenepo Ebedi-Meleki anatenga anthuwo, napita nawo ku nyumba ya mfumu ya pansi pa chipinda chosungiramo chuma. Kumeneko anakatengako sanza ndipo anatsitsira sanzazo ndi chingwe mʼchitsime mʼmene munali Yeremiya.

Ɛno enti, Ebed-Melek faa mmarima no kaa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɛdan bi a ɛwɔ adekorabea ase, wɔ ahemfie hɔ. Ɔkɔsesaa ntomago ne ntadeɛ dada de kyekyeree ntampehoma ho, gyaa mu maa Yeremia wɔ abura no mu.

12 Ebedi-Meleki, Mkusi, anawuza Yeremiya kuti, “Ika sanzazo mkwapa mwako kuti zingwe zingakupweteke.” Yeremiya anachitadi zimenezi,

Na Kusni, Ebed-Melek ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia sɛ, “Fa ntomago ne ntadeɛ dada no hyehyɛ wo mmɔtoam, na ntampehoma no ammia wo.” Na Yeremia yɛɛ saa,

13 ndipo anamukoka ndi zingwe ndi kumutulutsa mʼchitsimecho. Ndipo Yeremiya anakhalabe ku bwalo la alonda.

Wɔde ntampehoma no twetwee no de yii no firii abura no mu. Na Yeremia tenaa awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ.

14 Tsiku lina Mfumu Zedekiya anayitana mneneri Yeremiya ndipo anabwera naye ku chipata chachitatu cha Nyumba ya Yehova. Mfumu inawuza Yeremiya kuti, “Ndikufuna kukufunsa kanthu kena, ndipo usandibisire chilichonse.”

Na Ɔhene Sedekia soma ma wɔkɔfaa odiyifoɔ Yeremia baa Awurade asɔredan ano ɛkwan a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa hɔ. Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia sɛ, “Merebɛbisa wo asɛm bi, mfa biribiara nsie me.”

15 Yeremiya anati kwa Zedekiya, “Ndikakuyankhani, kodi simundipha? Ngakhaletu ine nditakulangizani, inu simudzandimvera.”

Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Sedekia sɛ, “Sɛ mema wo mmuaeɛ a, worenkum me anaa? Mpo sɛ metu wo fo a, worentie me.”

16 Koma Mfumu Zedekiya mwachinsinsi inalumbira kwa Yeremiya kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, amene amatipatsa moyo, sindidzakupha ngakhalenso kukupereka kwa amene akufuna kukuphawa.”

Nanso ɔhene Sedekia kaa saa ntam yi kɔkoam kyerɛɛ Yeremia sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade a ɔma yɛn nkwa no te ase yi, merenkum wo, na meremfa wonhyɛ wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔkum wo no nsa.”

17 Pamenepo Yeremiya anati kwa Zedekiya, “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Ngati mutuluka kukadzipereka kwa ankhondo a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, mudzakhala ndi moyo ndipo mzinda uno sadzawutentha, inu pamodzi ndi banja lanu mudzakhala ndi moyo.

Afei Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Sedekia sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn, no seɛ: ‘Sɛ wode wo ho ma Babiloniahene adwumayɛfoɔ a, wɔrenkum wo na wɔrenhye kuropɔn yi, wo ne wʼabusuafoɔ bɛtena nkwa mu.

18 Koma ngati simutuluka kukadzipereka kwa ankhondo a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, mzinda uno udzaperekedwa kwa Ababuloni ndipo adzawutentha; inuyo simudzapulumuka mʼdzanja mwawo.’”

Na sɛ woremfa wo ho mma Babiloniahene adwumayɛfoɔ a, wɔde saa kuropɔn yi bɛma Babiloniafoɔ, na wɔbɛhye no dwerɛbee; na wʼankasa rentumi nnwane mfiri wɔn nsam.’”

19 Mfumu Zedekiya inati kwa Yeremiya, “Ine ndikuopa Ayuda amene anathawira kale kwa Ababuloni, pakuti mwina Ababuloniwo adzandipereka kwa Ayudawo ndipo iwowo adzandizunza.”

Ɔhene Sedekia ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia sɛ, “Mesuro Yudafoɔ a wɔkɔ Babiloniafoɔ afa no, ɛfiri sɛ, ebia Babiloniafoɔ no de me bɛma wɔn na wɔayɛ me ayakayakadeɛ.”

20 Yeremiya anayankha kuti, “Ngati mumvera Yehova ndi kuchita zimene ndakuwuzani, ndiye kuti zinthu zidzakuyenderani bwino. Inu simudzaphedwa.

Yeremia buaa sɛ, “Wɔremfa wo mma wɔn. Tie Awurade asɛm na yɛ deɛ meka kyerɛ woɔ. Ɛno na ɛbɛma asi wo yie na woanya nkwa.

21 Koma mukakana kudzipereka, chimene Yehova wandiwululira ndi ichi:

Nanso sɛ woamfa wo ho amma Babiloniafoɔ no de a, deɛ Awurade ayi akyerɛ me nie:

22 Akazi onse amene atsala mʼnyumba ya mfumu ya Yuda adzaperekedwa kwa akuluakulu a mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Akazi amenewo adzakuwuzani kuti, “‘Abwenzi ako okhulupirika aja anakusokeretsa, ndipo anakugonjetsa. Poti tsopano miyendo yako yazama mʼmatope; abwenzi ako aja akusiya.’

Mmaa a wɔaka wɔ Yudahene ahemfie hɔ nyinaa no, wɔde wɔn bɛfiri adi abrɛ Babiloniahene adwumayɛfoɔ no. Saa mmaa no bɛka akyerɛ wo sɛ, “‘Wɔdaadaa wo na wɔdii wo so wo nnamfonom a wogye wɔn die no. Wo nan amem wɔ atɛkyɛ mu; wo nnamfonom agya wo hɔ kɔ.’

23 “Akazi pamodzi ndi ana anu adzaperekedwa kwa Ababuloni. Inuyo simudzapulumuka mʼmanja mwawo koma mfumu ya ku Babuloni idzakugwirani; mzinda uno adzawutentha.”

“Wɔde wo yerenom nyinaa ne wo mma bɛbrɛ Babiloniafoɔ no. Wo deɛ worentumi nnwane mfiri wɔn nsam, na mmom Babiloniahene bɛkye wo, na wɔbɛhye saa kuropɔn yi.”

24 Pamenepo Zedekiya anati kwa Yeremiya, “Usawuze munthu wina aliyense zimene takambiranazi, ukatero udzaphedwa.

Na Sedekia ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia sɛ, “Mma obiara nte saa nkɔmmɔdie yi, anyɛ saa a, wobɛwu.

25 Akuluakulu akamva kuti ndinayankhula nawe ndipo akabwera kwa iwe nʼkudzakufunsa kuti, ‘Tiwuze zimene unanena kwa mfumu ndi zimene mfumu inanena kwa iwe; usatibisire, ukatero tidzakupha,’

Sɛ adwumayɛfoɔ no te sɛ me ne wo kasaeɛ, na wɔbɛbisa wo sɛ, ‘Ma yɛnte deɛ woka kyerɛɛ ɔhene ne deɛ ɔhene nso ka kyerɛɛ woɔ; mfa nsie yɛn anyɛ saa a yɛbɛkum wo a,’

26 udzawawuze kuti, ‘Ine ndimapempha mfumu kuti isandibwezerenso ku nyumba ya Yonatani kuti ndikafere kumeneko.’”

ɛnneɛ ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Na meresrɛ ɔhene sɛ ɔmmfa me nsane nkɔ Yonatan efie mma me nkɔwu wɔ hɔ.’”

27 Akuluakulu onse anabweradi kwa Yeremiya kudzamufunsa. Iye anawayankha monga momwe mfumu inamulamula. Choncho palibe amene ananenanso kanthu, pakuti palibe amene anamva zomwe anakambirana ndi mfumu.

Adwumayɛfoɔ no nyinaa baa Yeremia hɔ bɛbisaa no, na ɔkaa deɛ ɔhene hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka no nyinaa. Enti, wɔanka hwee ankyɛre no bio, ɛfiri sɛ obiara ante ɔne ɔhene nkɔmmɔdie no.

28 Ndipo Yeremiya anakhalabe mʼbwalo la alonda mpaka tsiku limene mzinda wa Yerusalemu unalandidwa.

Na Yeremia tenaa ɔwɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ kɔsii da a wɔfaa Yerusalem. Sɛdeɛ wɔfaa Yerusalem nie:
