Jeremias 25
1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS concerning all the people of Juda in the fourth year of Joakim, son of Josias, king of Juda;
Asɛm a ɛfa Yudafo nyinaa ho baa Yeremia nkyɛn wɔ Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim adedi afe a ɛto so anan a ɛyɛ Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar adedi afe a edi kan no mu.
2 which he spoke to all the people of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Enti odiyifo Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Yudafo ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem nyinaa se,
3 In the thirteenth year of Josias, son of Amos, king of Juda, even until this day for three and twenty years, I have both spoken to you, rising early and speaking,
Mfe aduonu abiɛsa ni, efi Yudahene Amon babarima Yosia adedi afe a ɛto so dumiɛnsa besi nnɛ, Awurade asɛm aba me so na makasa akyerɛ mo mpɛn bebree, nanso muntiei ɛ.
4 and I sent to you my servants the prophets, sending them early; (but ye hearkened not, and listened not with your ears; ) saying,
Mpo Awurade asoma nʼasomfo a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifo aba mo nkyɛn mpɛn bebree, na muntiee wɔn, na monyɛɛ aso mmaa wɔn ɛ.
5 Turn ye every one from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers, of old and for ever.
Wɔkae se, “Mo mu biara mfi nʼakwan bɔne ne ne nneyɛe bɔne ho, na mubetumi atena asase a Awurade de maa mo ne mo agyanom no so afebɔɔ.
6 Go ye not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that ye provoke me not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt.
Munni anyame foforo akyi nkɔsom wɔn, nsɔre wɔn; mommfa nea mode mo nsa ayɛ no nhyɛ me abufuw. Afei merenhaw mo.”
7 But ye hearkened not to me.
“Nanso moantie me,” Awurade na ose, “na mode nea mode mo nsa ayɛ ahyɛ me abufuw, na mode ɔhaw aba mo so.”
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since ye believed not my words,
Afei nea Asafo Awurade se ni: “Esiane sɛ moantie me nsɛm no nti,
9 behold I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.
mɛfrɛ atifi fam nnipa nyinaa ne mʼakoa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar,” Awurade na ose, “na mede wɔn abɛko atia saa asase yi ne sofo, ne amanaman a wɔatwa ho ahyia nyinaa. Mɛsɛe wɔn pasaa na mayɛ wɔn ahodwiriwde ne fɛwdi, ne amamfo afebɔɔ.
10 And I will destroy from [among] them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle.
Meyi ahosan ne anigye nnyigyei, ayeforokunu ne ayeforo nne, awiyammo nnyigyei ne kanea hann afi wɔn mu.
11 And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.
Ɔman mu no nyinaa bɛdan asase wosee, na saa amanaman yi bɛsom Babiloniahene mfirihyia aduɔson.
12 And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation.
“Na mfirihyia aduɔson awiei no, mɛtwe Babiloniahene ne ne man, Babiloniafo asase aso wɔ wɔn amumɔyɛ ho, mɛdan no amamfo afebɔɔ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, [even] all things that are written in this book.
“Mɛma asotwe a mahyɛ atia asase no nyinaa aba wɔn so, nea wɔakyerɛw wɔ nhoma yi mu na Yeremia ahyɛ ho nkɔm atia aman no nyinaa no.
Wɔn ankasa de, amanaman bebree ne ahempɔn de wɔn bɛyɛ nkoa; na metua wɔn nneyɛe ne wɔn nsa ano adwuma so ka.”
Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ me: “Gye saa kuruwa yi a mʼabufuwhyew nsa ahyɛ no ma yi, na ma amanaman a mɛsoma wo wɔn nkyɛn no nyinaa nnom.
Sɛ wɔnom a, wɔbɛtɔ ntintan na wɔabobɔ dam esiane afoa a mɛsoma akɔ wɔn so no nti.”
Ɛno nti, migyee kuruwa no fii Awurade nsam, na memaa amanaman a ɔsomaa me wɔn nkyɛn no nomee:
Yerusalem ne Yuda nkurow, nʼahemfo ne ne nnwumayɛfo sɛ wɔnyɛ ɔsɛe, aninyanne, animɔharefo ne nnome, sɛnea wɔte nnɛ da yi.
Misraimhene Farao, nʼasomfo, nʼadwumayɛfo ne ne manfo nyinaa,
ananafo a wɔwɔ hɔ nyinaa; Us ahemfo; Filistifo ahemfo (a ɛyɛ Askelon, Gasa, Ekron ne nnipa a wɔagyaw wɔn wɔ Asdod);
Edom, Moab ne Amon;

“Afei ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Monnom, mommobow na momfefe, na mohwehwe ase a monnsɔre bio, esiane afoa a mɛsoma aba mo so no nti.’
Na sɛ wɔampɛ sɛ wogye wo nsam kuruwa no nom a, ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: Ɛsɛ sɛ monom!
Monhwɛ, merebefi ase de amanehunu aba kuropɔn a me Din da so no so, na mobɛfa mo ho adi a wɔrentwe mo aso ana? Wɔbɛtwe mo aso, efisɛ merefrɛ afoa aba wɔn a wɔtete asase no so nyinaa so, Asafo Awurade na ose.’
“Afei hyɛ nsɛm yi nyinaa ho nkɔm tia wɔn, na ka kyerɛ wɔn se, “‘Awurade befi ɔsoro abobɔ mu; ɔbɛma ne nne so afi ne tenabea kronkron hɔ, na wabobɔ mu dennen atia nʼasase. Ɔbɛteɛ mu te sɛ wɔn a wotiatia bobe aba so, ɔbɛteɛ mu agu wɔn a wɔtete asase no so no so.
Huuyɛ begyigye akɔ nsase ano, na Awurade bɛbɔ kwaadu, atia amanaman; obebu adesamma nyinaa atɛn na ɔde amumɔyɛfo ama afoa,’” Awurade na ose.
Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: “Monhwɛ! Amanehunu retrɛtrɛw fi ɔman so kɔ ɔman foforo so; ahum kɛse bi rema ne ho so afi nsase ano.”
Saa bere no, wɔn a Awurade akunkum wɔn no bɛdeda baabiara, fi asase ano kosi ano nohɔ. Wɔrensu wɔn na wɔremmoaboa wɔn ano na wɔrensie wɔn, na wɔbɛyɛ sɛ sumina a egugu fam.
34 THE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAS AGAINST THE NATIONS OF AeLAM.
Munsu na muntwa adwo, mo nguanhwɛfo; mommunummunum wɔ mfutuma mu, mo nguankuw ntuanofo. Mo kum bere no adu; mobɛhwehwe ase sɛ adwennini a wɔadodɔ.
35 Thus saith the Lord, The bow of Aelam is broken, [even] the chief of their power.
Nguanhwɛfo no rennya baabiara nguan nkɔ, na nguankuw no ntuanofo no rennya kwan nguan.
36 And I will bring upon Aelam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation [to] which they shall not come—[even] the outcasts of Aelam.
Muntie nguanhwɛfo no su, ne nguankuw no ntuanofo agyaadwotwa, efisɛ Awurade resɛe wɔn mmoa adidibea.
37 And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them.
Sare nsase a asomdwoe wɔ so no bɛda mpan esiane Awurade abufuwhyew no nti.
38 And I will set my throne in Aelam, and will send forth thence king and rulers.
Obefi ne tu mu sɛ gyata, na wɔn asase bɛda mpan esiane nnomumfafo no afoa ne Awurade abufuwhyew no nti.
39 But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Aelam, saith the Lord.
