Jeremiah 30

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

Asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ ni:

2 'Thus speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

“Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: ‘Kyerɛw nsɛm a maka akyerɛ wo nyinaa gu nhoma mu.

3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'

Nna bi reba,’ sɛnea Awurade se, ‘a mede me nkurɔfo Israelfo ne Yudafo befi nnommum mu asan aba na mede wɔn aba asase a mede maa wɔn agyanom sɛ wɔmfa ntena so no so,’ Awurade na ose.”

4 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

Eyi ne nsɛm a Awurade ka faa Israel ne Yuda ho:

5 For thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

“Nea Awurade se ni: “‘Akomatu nteɛteɛmu na mete, mete basabasayɛ, na ɛnyɛ asomdwoe.

6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child; wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Mummisa na munhu: Ɔbarima betumi awo mma ana? Afei, adɛn nti na mihu ɔbarima hoɔdenfo biara sɛ ne nsa gu ne yafunu so te sɛ ɔbea a ɔwɔ awoko mu, na anim biara ayɛ bosaa saa?

7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is a time of trouble unto Jacob, but out of it shall he be saved.

Sɛnea da no bɛyɛ hu afa! Da biara renyɛ sɛ ɛno. Ɛbɛyɛ amanehunu bere ama Yakob, nanso wobeyi no afi mu.

8 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman;

“‘Saa da no,’ Asafo Awurade na ose, ‘Mebubu konnua no afi wɔn kɔn mu, na matetew wɔn nkyehama no mu; ananafo remfa wɔn nyɛ nkoa bio.

9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

Na mmom wɔbɛsom Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn ne Dawid, wɔn hene, a mɛpagyaw no ama wɔn.

10 Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob My servant, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel; for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

“‘Enti nsuro, Yakob, me somfo; mma wʼaba mu mmu, Israel,’ nea Awurade se ni. ‘Nokware, megye wo afi akyirikyiri, ne wʼasefo afi wɔn nnommum asase so. Yakob bɛsan anya asomdwoe ne bammɔ na obiara renhunahuna no bio.

11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; for I will correct thee in measure, and will not utterly destroy thee.

Me ne wo wɔ hɔ na megye wo nkwa,’ Awurade na ose. ‘Ɛwɔ mu, mesɛe amanaman no nyinaa pasaa, emu na mebɔ mo ahwete kɔ, nanso merensɛe mo korakora. Mɛteɛteɛ mo, nanso mɛyɛ no wɔ trenee kwan so; meremma mo mfa mo ho nni koraa a merentwe mo aso.’

12 For thus saith the LORD: Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

“Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Wʼapirakuru ayɛ akisikuru, na wontumi nsa.

13 None deemeth of thy wound that it may be bound up; thou hast no healing medicines.

Obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛka bi ama wo, wo kuru no rennya aduru, na worennya ayaresa.

14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee, they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.

Wʼapamfo nyinaa werɛ afi wo; wo ho biribiara mfa wɔn ho. Mabɔ wo sɛnea wo tamfo bɛyɛ na matwe wʼaso sɛnea otirimɔdenfo bɛtwe, efisɛ wʼafɔdi so dodo na wʼamumɔyɛ nso dɔɔso.

15 Why criest thou for thy hurt, that thy pain is incurable? For the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

Adɛn nti na wusu dennen wɔ wʼapirakuru, wo yawdi a ano nni aduru no ho? Wʼafɔdi kɛse ne wʼamumɔyɛ bebrebe nti na mede saa nneɛma yi ayɛ wo.

16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

“‘Nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsɛe mo; mo atamfo nyinaa bɛkɔ nnommum mu. Wɔn a wɔfow mo no wɔbɛfow wɔn wɔn a wɔtow hyɛɛ mo so no, mɛtow ahyɛ wɔn so.

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast: 'She is Zion, there is none that careth for her.'

Nanso mɛma wo ahoɔden bio na masa wʼapirakuru,’ Awurade na ose, ‘efisɛ wɔfrɛ wo nea wɔapam no, Sion a wo ho nhia obiara.’”

18 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon her own mound, and the palace shall be inhabited upon its wonted place.

Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Mɛsan de Yakob ntamadan mu ahonyade aba na manya ayamhyehye ama nʼatenae ahorow no; wɔbɛkyekye kuropɔn no bio wɔ ne mmubui so, na ahemfi no besi nea ɛsɛ sɛ esi.

19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry; and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished, I will also increase them, and they shall not dwindle away.

Wɔn mu na aseda nnwom befi aba ne ahosɛpɛw nnyigyei. Mɛma wɔadɔɔso, na wɔn dodow no so rentew; mɛhyɛ wɔn anuonyam, na wɔremmu wɔn abomfiaa.

20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

Wɔn mma bedi yiye sɛ kan no, mɛma wɔn asafo atim wɔ mʼanim; wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa mɛtwe wɔn aso.

21 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto Me; for who is he that hath pledged his heart to approach unto Me? saith the LORD.

Wɔn kannifo bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa nipa; na wɔn sodifo befi wɔn mu. Mɛka no abata me ho na wabɛn me, na hena na ɔde ne ho bɛma sɛ ɔbɛbɛn me?’” Awurade na ose.

22 And ye shall be My people, and I will be your God.

“‘Enti mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfo, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn.’”

23 Behold, a storm of the LORD is gone forth in fury, a sweeping storm; it shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.

Hwɛ, Awurade ahum betu abufuwhyew mu, mfɛtɛ bedi kyinhyia wɔ amumɔyɛfo mpampam.

24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until He have executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart; in the end of days ye shall consider it.

Awurade abufuw rennwo kosi sɛ obewie ne koma mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa. Nna a ɛreba no mu no mobɛte eyi ase.
