< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Yei ne asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade hɔ baa Yeremia nkyɛn:
2 Stand in [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh and you will proclaim there the word this and you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah who come in the gates these to bow down to Yahweh.
“Gyina Awurade asɔredan no ɛpono ano, na ka saa asɛm yi: “‘Montie Awurade asɛm, mo nnipa a mo wɔ Yuda nyinaa a mofa apono yi ano kɔsom Awurade.
3 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel make good ways your and deeds your so let me cause to dwell you in the place this.
Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no seɛ: Monsesa mo akwan ne mo nneyɛɛ, na mɛma mo atena ha.
4 May not you trust for yourselves to words of deception saying [the] temple of Yahweh [the] temple of Yahweh [are] [the] temple of Yahweh they.
Mommfa mo ho nto nnaadaasɛm so na monnka sɛ, “Yei ne Awurade asɔredan, Awurade asɔredan, Awurade asɔredan!”
5 That except certainly you will make good ways your and deeds your certainly [if] you will do justice between everyone and between neighbor his.
Sɛ mosesa mo akwan ne mo nneyɛɛ nokorɛm, na mone mo ho mo ho di no tenenee mu,
6 [the] sojourner [the] fatherless And [the] widow not you must oppress and blood innocent may not you shed in the place this and after gods other not you must walk for harm of you.
sɛ moanhyɛ ɔhɔhoɔ, awisiaa anaa okunafoɔ so, na moanhwie mogya a ɛdi bem angu wɔ ha, na moanni anyame foforɔ akyi ankɔ mo ara ɔsɛeɛ mu a,
7 And I will cause to dwell you in the place this in the land which I gave to ancestors your from antiquity and until perpetuity.
ɛnneɛ mɛma mo atena ha, asase a mede maa mo agyanom afebɔɔ no.
8 Here! you [are] relying for yourselves on words of deception to not to profit.
Nanso monhwɛ, mode mo ho ato nnaadaa nsɛm a ɛho nni mfasoɔ so.
9 ¿ Will you steal - will you murder? and will you commit adultery? and will you swear? to falsehood and will you make smoke? to Baal and will you walk? after gods other which not you have known.
“‘Mobɛbɔ korɔno na moadi awu, mobɛbɔ adwaman na moadi adansekurumu, mobɛhye nnuhwam ama Baal na moadi anyame foforɔ a monnim wɔn akyi,
10 And you will come and you will stand before me in the house this which it is called name my on it and you will say we are delivered so as to do all the abominations these.
na afei, moaba abɛgyina mʼanim wɔ efie a medin da so na moaka sɛ, “Yɛnni ɔhaw,” sɛ moyɛ akyiwadeɛ yi nyinaa a na monni ɔhaw anaa?
11 ¿ A den of robbers has it become the house this which it is called name my on it in view your also I here! I have seen [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Na efie a medin da soɔ yi, abɛyɛ adwotwafoɔ tu ama mo anaa? Nanso megu so rehyɛ! Awurade na ɔseɛ.
12 That go please to place my which [was] in Shiloh where I caused to dwell name my there at the former [time] and see [that] which I did to it because of [the] wickedness of people my Israel.
“‘Na afei monkɔ Silo, beaeɛ bi a, medii ɛkan bɔɔ atenaeɛ de me Din too so, na monhwɛ deɛ meyɛɛ no ɛsiane me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ amumuyɛ enti.
13 And therefore because did you all the deeds these [the] utterance of Yahweh and I spoke to you rising early and speaking and not you listened and I called you and not you answered.
Ɛberɛ a moreyɛ yeinom nyinaa, Awurade na ɔseɛ, mekasa kyerɛɛ mo mpɛn bebree, nanso moantie; mefrɛɛ mo, nanso moannye so.
14 And I will do to the house - which it is called name my on it which you [are] trusting in it and to the place which I gave to you and to ancestors your just as I did to Shiloh.
Ɛno enti, sɛdeɛ meyɛɛ Silo no, mede bɛyɛ efie a me Din da so no, asɔredan a mode mo ho to so, beaeɛ a mede maa mo ne mo agyanom.
15 And I will cast out you from on face my just as I cast out all relatives your all [the] offspring of Ephraim.
Mɛpam mo afiri mʼanim sɛdeɛ meyɛɛ mo nuanom Efraimfoɔ no.’
16 And you may not you pray - for the people this and may not you lift up for them a cry of entreaty and a prayer and may not you entreat me for not I [will be] hearing you.
“Enti mommmɔ mpaeɛ mma saa nnipa yi, monnsrɛ na monni mma wɔn nso; monnsrɛ me ɛfiri sɛ merentie mo.
17 ¿ [are] not You seeing what? [are] they doing in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.
Monhunu deɛ wɔreyɛ wɔ Yuda nkuro no mu ne Yerusalem mmɔntene so anaa?
18 The children [are] gathering wood and the fathers [are] kindling the fire and the women [are] kneading dough to make cakes for [the] queen of the heavens and they are pouring out drink offerings to gods other so as to provoke to anger me.
Mmɔfra boaboa anyina ano, na agyanom sɔ ogya no ano, mmaa fɔtɔ asikyiresiam de to burodo ma Ɔsoro Hemmaa. Na wɔgu nsã ma anyame foforɔ de hyɛ me abufuo.
19 ¿ Me [are] they provoking [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not themselves for [the] sake of [the] shame of faces their.
Na ɛyɛ me na wɔrehyɛ me abufuo anaa? Awurade na ɔseɛ. Na ɛnyɛ wɔn mmom na wɔreha wɔn ho, hyɛ wɔn ho aniwuo anaa?
20 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! anger my and rage my [are] about to be poured out against the place this on humankind and on the animal[s] and on [the] tree[s] of the field and on [the] fruit of the ground and it will burn and not it will be quenched.
“Ɛno enti, deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie: Wɔbɛhwie mʼabufuo ne mʼabufuhyeɛ agu beaeɛ yi so, agu nnipa ne mmoa, mfuo so nnua ne asase no so aba so, na ɛbɛdɛre a ɛrennum.
21 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel burnt offerings your add to sacrifices your and eat meat.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: Monkɔ so, momfa mo ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ nka mo afɔrebɔ a aka no ho, na mo ankasa monwe ɛnam no!
22 For not I spoke with ancestors your and not I commanded them on [the] day (brought out I *Q(K)*) them from [the] land of Egypt on matters of burnt offering and sacrifice.
Na ɛberɛ a meyii mo agyanom firii Misraim na mekasa kyerɛɛ wɔn no, manhyɛ wɔn mmara a ɛfa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ ne afɔrebɔ ho nko ara,
23 That except the matter this I commanded them saying listen to voice my and I will become for you God and you you will become for me a people and you will walk in every way which I will command you so that it may go well for you.
mmom mede saa mmara yi kaa ho: Monyɛ ɔsetie mma me, na mɛyɛ mo Onyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ. Monnante akwan nyinaa a mɛhyɛ mo no so, na asi mo yie.
24 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they walked in counsels in [the] stubbornness of heart their evil and they were backwards and not forwards.
Nanso, wɔantie na wɔannyɛ aso; mmom, wɔfiri wɔn akoma bɔne mu yɛɛ asobrakyeɛ. Wɔsane wɔn akyi na wɔankɔ wɔn anim.
25 From the day when they came out ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt until the day this and I sent to you all servants my the prophets day rising early and sending.
Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mo agyanom firii Misraim de bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi, da biara da ne ɛberɛ biara mesomaa me nkoa adiyifoɔ baa mo nkyɛn.
26 And not they listened to me and not they inclined ear their and they stiffened neck their they did evil more than ancestors their.
Nanso wɔantie me na wɔanyɛ aso. Wɔde asoɔden yɛɛ bɔne boroo wɔn agyanom deɛ so.’
27 And you will say to them all the words these and not they will listen to you and you will call to them and not they will answer you.
“Sɛ moka yeinom nyinaa kyerɛ wɔn a, wɔrentie mo; sɛ mofrɛ wɔn a wɔrennye so.
28 And you will say to them this [is] the nation which not they listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God its and not they accepted correction it has perished faithfulness and it has been cut off from mouth their.
Ɛno enti monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei ne ɔman a ɔnyɛɛ ɔsetie mmaa Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn, na ɔmfaa ntenesoɔ. Nokorɛ asa, na afiri wɔn ano.
29 Cut off hair your and throw [it] away and take up on bare heights a lamentation for he has rejected Yahweh and he has abandoned [the] generation of fury his.
Monyi mo tirinwi na monto ngu, montwa agyaadwoɔ wɔ nkokoɔ no so, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade apo, na wagyae saa awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ yi a wɔwɔ na abufuhyeɛ no ase akyi di.
30 For they have done [the] people of Judah the evil in view my [the] utterance of Yahweh they have put detestable things their in the house which it is called name my on it to make unclean it.
“‘Yudafoɔ ayɛ bɔne mʼani so, sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie. Wɔde ahoni a, ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ asisi efie a me Din da so de agu ho fi.
31 And they have built [the] high places of Topheth which [is] in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom to burn sons their and daughters their in the fire which not I commanded and not it came up on heart my.
Wɔasisi Tofet sorɔnsorɔmmea wɔ Ben Hinom bɔnhwa mu ɛhɔ na wɔhye wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa. Adeɛ a manhyɛ wɔn na amma mʼadwene mu nso.
32 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be said again Topheth and [the] valley of Ben Hinnom that except [the] valley of slaughter and people will bury in Topheth from not room.
Ɛno enti, monhwɛ yie na nna no reba, Awurade na ɔseɛ, a wɔremfrɛ hɔ Tofet anaa Hinom Bɔnhwa bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ no Okum Bɔnhwa, ɛfiri sɛ wɔbɛsie awufoɔ wɔ Tofet kɔsi sɛ ɛhɔ bɛyɛ ma.
33 And it will become [the] corpse[s] of the people this food for [the] bird[s] of the heavens and for [the] animal[s] of the earth and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
Na afei saa nnipa yi afunu bɛyɛ aduane ama ewiem nnomaa ne asase so mmoa, na ɛrenka obiara wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpam wɔn.
34 And I will cause to cease - from [the] cities of Judah and from [the] streets of Jerusalem [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride for a desolation it will become the land.
Mede ahosɛpɛ ne anigyeɛ nnyegyeɛ, ayeforɔ ne ayeforɔkunu nne a ɛwɔ Yuda nkuro ne Yerusalem mmɔntene so, bɛba awieeɛ ɛfiri sɛ asase no bɛda mpan.’”
