Jeremiah 17
1 [the] sin of Judah [is] inscribed with a stylus of iron with a point of flint [is] engraved on [the] tablet of heart their and to [the] horns of altars your.
“Wɔde dadeɛ twerɛdua akrukyire Yuda bɔne, dadeɛ twerɛdua a ano te sɛ twerɛboɔ, wɔ wɔn akoma apono so ne wɔn afɔrebukyia mmɛn so.
2 When remember children their altars their and Asherah poles their at tree[s] luxuriant on hills high.
Mpo, wɔn mma kae wɔn afɔrebukyia ne Asera afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ nnua a adendan no nkyɛn ne nkokoɔ atentene no so.
3 Mountain my in the field wealth your all treasures your to plunder I will give high places your for sin in all territories your.
Me mmepɔ a ɛwɔ asase no so ne mo ahonyadeɛ ne mo akoradeɛ nyinaa, mede bɛma sɛ afodeɛ, ɛne mo sorɔnsorɔmmea nso, ɛsiane mo ɔman no so bɔne enti.
4 And you will let fall and in you from inheritance your which I gave to you and I will make serve you enemies your in land which not you know for a fire you have kindled in anger my until perpetuity it will burn.
Mo ankasa mfomsoɔ enti, mobɛhwere agyapadeɛ a mede maa mo no. Mede mo bɛyɛ nkoa ama mo atamfoɔ wɔ asase a monnim soɔ so, ɛfiri sɛ moahwanyane mʼabufuo, na ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.”
5 Thus - he says Yahweh [is] cursed the man who he trusts in humankind and he makes flesh strength his and from Yahweh it turns aside heart his.
Sei na Awurade seɛ, “Nnome nka deɛ ɔde ne ho to onipa so, deɛ ɔde ne ho to ɔhonam so pɛ nʼahoɔden na nʼakoma dane firi Awurade ho.
6 And he will be like a bush in the desert plain and not he will see if it will come good and he will dwell parched places in the wilderness a land of saltiness and not anyone dwells.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ wira a ɛwɔ nsase tamaa so; sɛ yiedie ba a, ɔrenhunu, ɔbɛtena anweatam a awoɔ so, ne nkyene asase a obi nte soɔ so.
7 [is] blessed The man who he trusts in Yahweh and he is Yahweh trust his.
“Nhyira nka onipa a ɔde ne ho to Awurade so, na nʼanidasoɔ wɔ ne mu.
8 And he will be like a tree - planted at water and [which] at a stream it sends out roots its and not (he will see *Q(K)*) if it will come heat and it will be leafage its luxuriant and in a year of drought not it will be anxious and not it will cease from producing fruit.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ dua a wɔadua no nsuo ho na ne nhini tene kɔ nsuo no mu. Sɛ ahuhuro ba a, ɔnsuro; ne nhahan yɛ frɔmm mmerɛ nyinaa. Ɔnni ɔhaw biara wɔ afe a osuo ntɔ mu na ɛkɔ so so aba daa.”
9 [is] deceitful The heart more than everything and [is] incurable it who? will he know it.
Akoma yɛ nnaadaa sen adeɛ nyinaa na ano nni aduro. Hwan na ɔbɛte nʼase?
10 I Yahweh [am] searching [the] heart [am] testing [the] kidneys to give to everyone (according to ways his *Q(K)*) according to [the] fruit of deeds his.
“Me Awurade, mepɛɛpɛɛ akoma mu na mehwehwɛ adwene mu, gyina so de tua onipa ka sɛdeɛ nʼabrabɔ teɛ.”
11 A partridge [which] it gathers a brood and not it has laid [one who] makes wealth and not with justice in [the] middle of (days his *Q(K)*) it will leave him and at end his he will be a fool.
Sɛdeɛ akokɔhwedeɛ a ɔhwane nkosua a ɛnyɛ ɔno na ɔtoeɛ no, saa ara na onipa a ɔnya sika a ɔmfa ɛkwan pa so teɛ. Sɛ wɔbu ne nkwa nna mu mmienu a wɔbɛgya no mu, na awieeɛ no, ne kwasea bɛda adi.
12 [is] a throne of Glory a high place from first [time] [the] place of sanctuary our.
Animuonyam ahennwa a ɛsi kronkronbea hɔ no firi ahyɛaseɛ no, ɛhɔ na yɛsom.
13 O hope of Israel O Yahweh all [those who] forsake you they will be ashamed (and disloyal [ones] my *Q(K)*) in the land they will be written down for they have forsaken [the] spring of water living Yahweh.
Ao, Awurade, Israel anidasoɔ, wɔn a wɔpa wʼakyi nyinaa ani bɛwu. Wɔn a wɔtwe wɔn ho firi wo ho no, wɔbɛsie wɔn ɛfiri sɛ wɔagya Awurade a ɔyɛ nkwa asutire.
14 Heal me O Yahweh so I may be healed save me so let me be saved for [are] praise my you.
Sa me yadeɛ Ao, Awurade, na me ho bɛtɔ me; gye me na mɛnya nkwa, na wo ne ɔbaako a mekamfo wo.
15 Here! they [are] saying to me where? [is] [the] word of Yahweh let it come please.
Wɔbisa me daa sɛ, “Ɛhe na Awurade asɛm no wɔ? Ma ɛmmra mu seesei!”
16 And I not I have hastened - from a shepherd after you and a day incurable not I have desired you you know [the] utterance of lips my before face your it was.
Mennwane mfirii mʼadwuma sɛ wo dwanhwɛfoɔ; wonim sɛ mempɛɛ abasamutuo da. Deɛ ɛfiri mʼanom yɛ pefee wɔ wʼanim.
17 May not you become to me an object of terror [are] refuge my you in a day of calamity.
Nhunahuna me; wo ne me dwanekɔbea wɔ amanehunu da.
18 Let them be put to shame pursuers my and may not I be put to shame I let them be dismayed they and may not I be dismayed I bring on them a day of calamity and double destruction destroy them.
Ma wɔn a wɔtaa me anim nguase, na yi me firi ahohora mu. Ma wɔn mmɔ hu, nanso mma me bo ntu. Ma amanehunu da no mmra wɔn so; fa ɔhawprenu sɛe wɔn.
19 Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will stand in [the] gate of [the] sons of (the people *Q(K)*) which they go in it [the] kings of Judah and which they go out in it and in all [the] gates of Jerusalem.
Yei ne deɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me, “Kɔ na kɔgyina nnipa no ɛpono a Yuda ahemfo di hɔ ahyɛnfirie no; kɔgyina Yerusalem apono a aka no nso ano.
20 And you will say to them hear [the] word of Yahweh O kings of Judah and all Judah and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem who go in the gates these.
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Montie Awurade asɛm, Ao Yuda ahemfo ne Yudafoɔ nyinaa ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem a wɔfa saa apono yi mu.
21 Thus he says Yahweh take heed to lives your and may not you carry a burden on [the] day of the sabbath and you will bring [it] in [the] gates of Jerusalem.
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Monhwɛ yie na moansoa nnesoa Homeda anaa moamfa amfa Yerusalem apono mu.
22 And not you must bring out a burden from houses your on [the] day of the sabbath and any work not you must do and you will set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath just as I commanded ancestors your.
Monnsoa adesoa mfiri mo afie mu na monnyɛ adwuma biara Homeda, na mmom monyɛ Homeda no kronkron, sɛdeɛ mehyɛɛ mo agyanom no.
23 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they stiffened neck their to not (to listen *Q(K)*) and to not to accept correction.
Nanso wɔantie na wɔammu; wɔyɛɛ asoɔden, wɔantie na wɔampɛ ntenesoɔ.
24 And it will be certainly [if] you will listen! to me [the] utterance of Yahweh to not - to bring a burden in [the] gates of the city this on [the] day of the sabbath and to set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath to not to do (on it *Q(K)*) any work.
Nanso sɛ mohwɛ yie na moyɛ ɔsetie ma me a, na moamfa nnesoa amfa saa kuropɔn yi apono mu Homeda, na sɛ moyɛ Homeda no kronkron a monnyɛ adwuma biara a,
25 And they will come in [the] gates of the city this kings - and princes [who] sit on [the] throne of David [who] ride - in chariot[s] and on horses they and officials their everyone of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and it will remain the city this for ever.
ɛnneɛ ahemfo a wɔte Dawid ahennwa so ne wɔn adwumayɛfoɔ bɛfa saa apono yi mu. Wɔn nyinaa bɛba a wɔtete nteaseɛnam mu ne apɔnkɔ so, a Yuda mmarima ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem ka ho, na nnipa bɛtena kuropɔn yi mu daa nyinaa.
26 And they will come from [the] cities of Judah and from round about Jerusalem and from [the] land of Benjamin and from the Shephelah and from the hill country and from the Negev [those who] bring burnt offering and sacrifice and grain offering and frankincense and [those who] bring a thank-offering [the] house of Yahweh.
Nnipa bɛfiri Yuda nkuro ne nkuraase a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no aba. Wɔbɛfiri Benyamin asase ne atɔeɛ fam nkokoɔ so. Wɔbɛfiri mmepɔ mantam ne Negeb aba a wɔde ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔ, aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ, nnuhwam ne aseda afɔrebɔdeɛ reba Awurade efie.
27 And if not you will listen to me to set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath and to not - to carry a burden and to go in [the] gates of Jerusalem on [the] day of the sabbath and I will kindle a fire in gates its and it will consume [the] fortresses of Jerusalem and not it will be extinguished.
Nanso, sɛ moanyɛ ɔsetie amma me, anyɛ Homeda no kronkron, na sɛ mosoa adesoa biara fa Yerusalem apono mu Homeda a, ɛnneɛ mɛsɔ ogya a ɛrennum da wɔ Yerusalem apono mu na abɛhye nʼaban hodoɔ’, sei na Awurade seɛ.”
