Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah the second time (while he was yet shut vp in the court of prison) saying,
Bere a Yeremia da so da dua mu wɔ awɛmfo adiwo hɔ no, Awurade asɛm baa ne nkyɛn ne mprenu so se:
2 Thus sayth the Lord, the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, and established it, the Lord is his Name.
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se, nea ɔbɔɔ asase, Awurade a ɔyɛe na ɔma egyinae, Awurade ne ne din:
3 Call vnto me, and I will answere thee, and shewe thee great and mightie things, which thou knowest not.
‘Frɛ me na megye wo so, na maka wo nsɛm akɛse ne nneɛma a ahintaw a wunnim.’
4 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, concerning the houses of this citie, and concerning the houses of the Kings of Iudah, which are destroyed by the mounts, and by the sword,
Na nea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka de fa afi a ɛwɔ saa kuropɔn yi mu ne Yuda ahemfi ahorow a wɔabubu no ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wubenya nea wɔde besiw ntuano afasu ne afoa no ano,
5 They come to fight with the Caldeans, but it is to fill themselues with the dead bodies of men, whome I haue slaine in mine anger and in my wrath: for I haue hid my face from this citie, because of all their wickednes.
wɔ wɔne Babiloniafo ɔko no mu. ‘Nnipa a mede mʼabufuw ne mʼabufuwhyew bekunkum wɔn no afunu bɛyɛ hɔ ma. Meyi mʼani afi saa kuropɔn yi so esiane nʼamumɔyɛ nyinaa nti.
6 Behold, I will giue it health and amendment: for I wil cure them, and will reueile vnto them the abundance of peace, and trueth.
“‘Nanso mede ahoɔden ne ayaresa bɛbrɛ no; mɛsa me nkurɔfo yare na mama wɔanya asomdwoe ne bammɔ a ɛdɔɔso.
7 And I wil cause the captiuitie of Iudah and the captiuitie of Israel to returne, and will build them as at the first.
Mɛsan de Yuda ne Israel afi nnommum mu aba na masan agye wɔn asi hɔ sɛ nea na wɔte dedaw no.
8 And I wil clense them from all their iniquitie, whereby they haue sinned against me: yea, I wil pardon all their iniquities, whereby they haue sinned against me, and whereby they haue rebelled against me.
Mɛhohoro wɔn bɔne a wɔayɛ atia me no nyinaa, na mede wɔn atuatew ho bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
9 And it shalbe to me a name, a ioy, a praise, and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall heare all ye good that I doe vnto them: and they shall feare and tremble for all the goodnes, and for all the wealth, that I shew vnto this citie.
Na saa kuropɔn yi bɛma me din ahyeta, ɛbɛma me anigye, ayeyi ne anuonyam wɔ asase so aman a wɔte nnepa a meyɛ ma no nyinaa mu; wobesuro na wɔn ho apopo wɔ yiyedi ne asomdwoe bebrebe a mede ma no nti.’
10 Thus sayth the Lord, Againe there shalbe heard in this place (which ye say shalbe desolate, without man, and without beast, euen in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, that are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast)
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Woka fa saa beae yi ho se, “Ada mpan a nnipa anaasɛ mmoa nni so.” Nanso Yuda nkurow ne Yerusalem mmɔnten a ada mpan na nnipa anaa mmoa nni no, hɔ na wɔbɛsan ate bio,
11 The voyce of ioy and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome, and the voyce of the bride, the voyce of them that shall say, Prayse the Lord of hostes, because the Lord is good: for his mercy endureth for euer, and of them that offer the sacrifice of prayse in the House of the Lord, for I will cause to returne the captiuitie of the land, as at the first, sayth the Lord.
ahurusi ne anigye nnyigyei, ayeforo ne ayeforokunu nne ne wɔn a wɔde aseda afɔrebɔ reba Awurade fi nne se, “‘“Momfa aseda mma Asafo Awurade, efisɛ Awurade ye, na ne dɔ wɔ hɔ daa.” Na mɛsan de asase no so nnepa a wɔwɔ hɔ dedaw no aba bio,’ Awurade, na ose.
12 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Againe in this place, which is desolate, without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof there shall be dwelling for shepheards to rest their flockes.
“Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: ‘Ɛha yi a ada mpan a nnipa ne mmoa nni no; ne nkurow nyinaa so no, wobenya nguanhwɛfo adidibea ne nea wɔn nguankuw bɛhome.
13 In the cities of the mountaines, in the cities in the plaine, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Beniamin, and about Ierusalem, and in the cities of Iudah shall the sheepe passe againe, vnder the hand of him that telleth them, sayth the Lord.
Nkurow a ɛwɔ ɔman a ɛda bepɔw so no atɔe fam mmepɔw ase mu, Negeb, Benyamin mantam mu, nkuraa a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia ne Yuda nkurow mu, nguankuw betwa mu bio wɔ nea ɔkan wɔn no nsa ase.’ Awurade, na waka.
14 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil performe that good thing, which I haue promised vnto the house of Israel, and to the house of Iudah.
“‘Nna no reba,’ Awurade na ose, a mɛma adom bɔ a mehyɛɛ Israel ne Yudafi no aba mu.
15 In those dayes and at that time, wil I cause the branch of righteousnesse to growe vp vnto Dauid, and he shall execute iudgement, and righteousnes in the land.
“‘Nna no mu ne saa bere no mɛma trenee Dubaa afefɛw afi Dawid ase; ɔbɛyɛ nea ɛteɛ ne nea eye wɔ asase no so.
16 In those dayes shall Iudah be saued, and Ierusalem shall dwell safely, and hee that shall call her, is the Lord our righteousnesse.
Saa nna no mu, wobegye Yuda nkwa na Yerusalem bɛtena asomdwoe mu. Eyi ne din a wɔde bɛfrɛ no Awurade, Yɛn Trenee.’
17 For thus sayth the Lord, Dauid shall neuer want a man to sit vpon the throne of the house of Israel.
Na sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Ɔbarima a ɔbɛtena Israel ahengua so no remmɔ Dawid da,
18 Neither shall the Priests and Leuites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to offer meat offerings, and to doe sacrifice continually.
saa ara nso na asɔfo a wɔyɛ Lewifo no, ɔbarima a obegyina mʼanim daa abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne aduan afɔre na ɔde afɔre ahorow abrɛ me, remmɔ wɔn da.’”
19 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se:
20 Thus sayth the Lord, If you can breake my couenant of the day, and my couenant of the night, that there should not be day, and night in their season,
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Sɛ wubetumi abu me ne adekyee ne adesae apam so, na adekyee ne adesae amma wɔn bere a wɔahyehyɛ no a,
21 Then may my couenant be broken with Dauid my seruant, that he should not haue a sonne to reigne vpon his throne, and with the Leuites, and Priests my ministers.
ɛno de, na me ne mʼakoa Dawid apam ne Lewifo a wɔyɛ asɔfo a wɔsom wɔ mʼanim no apam no nso, wubetumi abu so, na Dawid rennya nʼaseni a ɔbɛtena ahengua so adi hene bio.
22 As the army of heauen can not be nombred, neither the sand of the sea measured: so wil I multiplie the seede of Dauid my seruant, and the Leuites, that minister vnto me.
Mɛma mʼakoa Dawid asefo ne Lewifo a wɔsom wɔ mʼanim no ase adɔ te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma a wontumi nkan ne mpoano nwea a wontumi nsusuw.’”
23 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came to Ieremiah, saying,
Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,
24 Considerest thou not what this people haue spoken, saying, The two families, which the Lord hath chosen, hee hath euen cast them off? thus they haue despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
“Wontee sɛ nnipa yi reka se, ‘Awurade apo ahenni abien a oyii no’ ana? Enti wobu me man animtiaa na wɔmmfa wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ ɔman bio.
25 Thus sayth the Lord, If my couenant be not with day and night, and if I haue not appointed the order of heauen and earth,
Nea Awurade se ni: ‘Sɛ mantintim me ne adekyee ne adesae apam ne ɔsoro ne asase mmara no a,
26 Then will I cast away the seede of Iaakob and Dauid my seruant, and not take of his seede to be rulers ouer the seede of Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: for I wil cause their captiuitie to returne, and haue compassion on them.
ɛno de anka mɛpo Yakob ne mʼakoa Dawid asefo, na merenyi ne mmabarima mu baako sɛ onni Abraham, Isak ne Yakob asefo so. Na mede wɔn ahonyade bɛsan ama wɔn, na manya ayamhyehye ama wɔn.’”
