< Jeremiah 51 >
1 This is what Yahweh says: “I will inspire/motivate [an army] to destroy Babylon [like a powerful] wind [MET], and [also] to destroy the people of Babylonia.
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Monhwɛ, mɛkanyane ɔsɛefoɔ bi honhom atia Babilonia ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Leb Kamai.
2 I will send a foreign army to come to get rid of Babylonia [like a strong wind] that blows away chaff. They will attack from every direction on that day of disaster.
Mɛsoma amanfrafoɔ akɔ Babilonia sɛ wɔnkɔhuhu ne so na wɔnsɛe nʼasase; wɔbɛtia no wɔ afanan nyinaa wɔ nʼamanehunu da no.
3 [I will tell them, ] ‘Do not allow the archers [of Babylon] to [have time to] put on their armor or draw their bows. Do not spare the young men of Babylon. Completely destroy their army.’
Mma agyantoni mpoma nʼagyan, mma ɔnhyɛ ne nkataboɔ. Mma ne mmeranteɛ mfa wɔn ho nni; sɛe nʼakodɔm no pasaa.
4 Their soldiers will fall dead in Babylonia; [they will die after being] wounded in the streets.
Wɔbɛhwehwe ase a wɔatotɔ wɔ Babilonia, a wɔapirapira yie wɔ ne mmɔntene so.
5 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the Israelis’ God, have not abandoned Israel and Judah. [Even though] their land was full of people who sinned against [me], the Holy God of Israel, I am still their God.
Na Asafo Onyankopɔn Awurade, nnyaa Israel ne Yuda hɔ. Ɛwom sɛ afɔdie ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma wɔ Israel Ɔkronkronni no anim, nanso ɔkɔ so ara yɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
6 [You people of Israel and Judah, ] flee from Babylon! Run away from there! Do not stay there and be killed when I punish [the people of Babylon]! It will be the time when I will get revenge; I will do to them what they deserve.
“Monnwane mfiri Babilonia! Montu mmirika mpere mo nkwa! Mommma wɔnsɛe mo ɛsiane wɔn bɔne enti. Awurade aweretɔberɛ aso; ɔde deɛ ɛfata no bɛtua wɔn ka.
7 Babylon has been [like] [MET] a gold cup in my hand, [a cup that is full of wine] that caused people all over the earth [who drank some of it to become] drunk. [It is as though] the [rulers of] the nations drank the wine from Babylon, and it caused them to become crazy.
Na Babilonia yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ kuruwa wɔ Awurade nsam; ɔmaa asase nyinaa boroo nsã. Aman no nom ne nsã; ɛno enti, afei, wɔabobɔ adam.
8 But suddenly Babylon will be conquered. [You foreigners who live in Babylon, ] weep for its people. Give them medicine for their wounds; perhaps they can be healed.”
Babilonia bɛhwe ase abubu mpofirim. Montwa ne ho agyaadwoɔ! Mompɛ ne yea no ano aduro; ebia ne ho bɛtɔ no.
9 We [foreigners] would have [tried to] heal them, but [now] they cannot be healed. [So we will not try to help them; ] we will abandon them, and return to our own lands, because [it is as though] the punishment they are receiving is so great that it reaches up to the clouds in sky, [so great that no one can measure it].
“‘Anka yɛbɛsa Babilonia yadeɛ, nanso wɔntumi nsa no yadeɛ; momma yɛnnya no hɔ na obiara nkɔ nʼankasa asase so, ɛfiri sɛ nʼatemmuo aduru ɔsorosoro. Ɛforo ɔsoro te sɛ omununkum.’
10 Yahweh has (vindicated us/shown that we were right); [so] let’s proclaim in Jerusalem everything that Yahweh our God has done [for us].
“‘Awurade abu yɛn bem. Mommra, momma yɛnka wɔ Sion, deɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn ayɛ.’
11 [You enemy soldiers, ] sharpen your arrows! Lift up your shields, [because] Yahweh has incited your kings of Media [and Persia to march with their armies] to Babylon and to destroy it. That is how Yahweh will get revenge on [those foreigners who entered] his temple [in Jerusalem] and defiled it.
“Monse agyan no ano! Momfa nkataboɔ no! Awurade ahwanyane Mede ahemfo no, ɛfiri sɛ ne botaeɛ ne sɛ ɔbɛsɛe Babilonia. Awurade bɛtɔ were aweretɔ ama nʼasɔrefie no.
12 Lift up a battle flag close to the walls of Babylon! (Reinforce the/Appoint more) guards, and tell the watchmen to stand [in their positions]! Prepare an ambush, because Yahweh is about to accomplish all that he has planned to do to the people of Babylon.
Mompagya frankaa bi ntia Babilonia afasuo! Mommia banbɔ mu, momma awɛmfoɔ no nnyinagyina. Monsiesie ahintaeɛ! Awurade bɛma nʼatirimpɔ aba mu, deɛ wahyɛ atia Babilonia no.
13 Babylon is [a city] near the great [Euphrates] River, a city in which there are many rich people, but it is time for Babylon to be finished; the time [for the city] to exist is ended.
Mo a motete nsuwansuwa bebree ho na akoradeɛ abu mo so, mo awieeɛ aba, ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa mo twene no.
14 The Commander of the armies of angels has solemnly promised, using his own name, “Your cities will be filled with your enemies; I will cause them to be like [SIM] a swarm of locusts; and they will shout triumphantly [when they conquer your city].”
Asafo Awurade aka ne ho ntam sɛ: mede nnipa bɛhyɛ wo ma sɛ mmɛbɛ, na wɔabɔ ose wɔ wo so.
15 Yahweh created the earth by his power; he established it by his wisdom, and he stretched out the sky by his understanding.
“Ɔde ne tumi bɔɔ asase; ɔtoo ewiase fapem wɔ ne nyansa mu na ɔde ne nhunumu trɛɛ ɔsorosoro mu.
16 When he speaks loudly, there is thunder in the sky; he causes clouds to form in every part of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and releases the winds from his storehouses.
Sɛ ɔbobɔm a, ɔsoro nsuo woro so; ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so firi nsase ano. Ɔsoma anyinam ka ɔsutɔ ho na ɔma mframa bɔ firi nʼakoradan mu.
17 People are senseless, and they know very little [HYP]; those who make idols are [always] disappointed, because their idols [do nothing for them]. The images/statues that they make are not real [gods]; they are lifeless.
“Onipa biara nnim nyansa, na ɔnni nimdeɛ; sikadwumfoɔ biara anim agu ase, ɛsiane nʼahoni enti. Ne nsɛsodeɛ yɛ atorɔ; wɔnni ahome biara wɔ wɔn mu.
18 Idols are worthless; they deserve to be ridiculed; there will be a time when they will [all] be destroyed.
Wɔn ho nni mfasoɔ, wɔyɛ aseredeɛ nneɛma; sɛ wɔn atemmuo duru so a, wɔbɛyera.
19 But the God whom [we] Israelis [worship] is not like those [idols]; he is the one who created everything [that exists]; [we], the people of Israel, belong to him; his name is ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’.
Deɛ ɔyɛ Yakob Kyɛfa no nte sɛ yeinom, ɛfiri sɛ ɔno ne adeɛ nyinaa Yɛfoɔ a nʼadedie abusuakuo ka ho bi. Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
20 Yahweh says [about the army of Babylonia] (OR, [about a nation that will attack Babylonia)], “You have been [like] [MET] my battle-axe and war-club; with your [power] I have shattered nations and destroyed [many] kingdoms.
“Woyɛ me ko asaeɛ, mʼakodeɛ a mede kɔ ɔsa; mede wo dwerɛ amanaman, mede wo sɛe ahennie bebree,
21 With your [power] I have shattered armies [of other nations]: I destroyed [their] horses and their riders, [their] chariots and [their] chariot-drivers.
mede wo bobɔ apɔnkɔ ne wɔn sotefoɔ, teaseɛnam ne wɔn kafoɔ,
22 With your [power] I shattered men and women, old people and children, young men and young women.
mede wo dwerɛ mmarima ne mmaa, mede wo dwerɛ nkɔkoraa ne mmabunu, mede wo dwerɛ mmeranteɛ ne mmabaawa,
23 With your [power] I shattered shepherds and their flocks [of sheep], farmers and their oxen, governors and [their] officials.”
mede wo dwerɛ nnwanhwɛfoɔ ne nnwankuo, mede wo dwerɛ akuafoɔ ne anantwie, mede wo dwerɛ amradofoɔ ne adwumayɛfoɔ.
24 But, Yahweh [also] says, “[Soon] I will repay/punish [you] people in Babylon and in the rest of Babylonia for all the evil things that you have done in Jerusalem.
“Mɛtua Babilonia ne wɔn a wɔtete Babilonia ka wɔ mfomsoɔ a wɔayɛ wɔ Sion nyinaa, wɔ wʼanim,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
25 [Babylonia is] [APO] like [MET] a great mountain [from which bandits descend] to (plunder/steal things from) people all over the earth. But I, Yahweh, am the enemy of you [people of Babylonia]. I will raise my fist to strike you. I will knock you down from the cliffs and cause you to be [only] a huge pile of burned rubble.
“Ao, bepɔ sɛefoɔ me ne wo anya, wo a wosɛe asase nyinaa no,” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Mɛtene me nsa wɔ wo so mɛpia wo afiri abotan no so, na mayɛ wo sɛ bepɔ a ɛnka hwee.
26 Your [city] will be abandoned forever; [even] the stones in your [city] will never [again] be used for buildings. [Your city will be completely destroyed].”
Wɔremfa ɔboɔ biara mfiri wo so nyɛ tweatiboɔ anaa sɛ fapem mpo, ɛfiri sɛ wobɛda mpan afebɔɔ,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
27 [Tell] the nations to lift up a battle flag! [Tell them to] shout the battle-cry! Gather all their armies to fight against Babylon! Prepare the nations to attack Babylon. Summon [the armies of] the kingdoms [north of Babylonia]—from Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander for them, and bring [a great number of] horses; [there must be a huge number of horses]; that [huge number] will resemble [SIM] a swarm of locusts.
“Mompagya frankaa wɔ asase no so! Monhyɛn totorobɛnto no wɔ amanaman no mu! Monsiesie amanaman no ma wɔnkɔko ntia no; Momfrɛfrɛ saa ahennie ahodoɔ yi ntia no: Ararat, Mini ne Askenas. Monnyi ɔsahene ntia no; momfa apɔnkɔdɔm te sɛ mmɛbɛ mmra.
28 Prepare the [armies of other nations], armies that will be led by the kings of Media [and Persia], their governors and [their] officials.
Monsiesie amanaman no ma wɔntu ne so sa, mo ne Mede ahemfo, wɔn amradofoɔ ne wɔn adwumayɛfoɔ nyinaa, ne aman a wɔdi wɔn so nyinaa.
29 [When they attack Babylon, it will be as though] the earth will shake and writhe [in pain], because [those armies] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned to do to Babylon; they will destroy it completely, [with the result that] no one will live there [again].
Asase no woso, na ɔnukanuka ne mu, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade atirimpɔ a ɛtia Babilonia sɛ ɔbɛsɛe Babilonia asase a obiara rentumi ntena so no nsesaeɛ.
30 [When their enemies attack], the strongest warriors in Babylon will not fight. They will remain in their barracks, without any strength. They will be as timid/weak as [SIM] women. [The enemy soldiers] will burn the buildings in the city and pull down the bars [of the city gates].
Babilonia nnɔmmarima agyae ko; wɔhyehyɛ wɔn aban mu. Wɔn ahoɔden asa; wɔayɛ sɛ mmaa. Wɔatoto nʼatenaeɛ ahodoɔ no mu ogya, na wɔabubu nʼapono akyi adaban.
31 Messengers will go quickly, one after another, to tell the king that his city has been captured.
Abɔfoɔ didi so asomafoɔ didi so a wɔrekɔbɔ Babiloniahene amaneɛ sɛ, wɔafa ne kuropɔn no,
32 The places at which people can cross the river [to escape from the city] will be blocked. The dry reeds in the marshes/swamps will be set on fire, and the soldiers of Babylon will be terrified.
wɔagye atwaeɛ a ɛdeda asubɔnten no so afa, na wɔde ogya ato ɔwora no mu, na asraafoɔ no abɔ huboa.”
33 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says; “Babylon is like [SIM] wheat on the ground where it is about to be threshed by [animals] tramping on it. Very soon [their enemies] will trample on [the city of] Babylon [MET].”
Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: “Ɔbabaa Babilonia ayɛ sɛ ayuporobea wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔretiatia hɔ. Aka kakraa bi, na ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no sɛ nnɔbaeɛ no aduru.”
34 [The army of] Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, has attacked and crushed us [Israeli people], and we have no strength [left]. [It is as though] they have swallowed us like a [great] monster that filled its belly with all our tasty parts, and then has spit out [what it did not like].
“Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar adwerɛ yɛn, ɔde yɛn ato ɔhaw mu, wayɛ yɛn sɛ ahina a hwee nni muo. Wamene yɛn sɛ ɔtweaseɛ no na ɔde yɛn nneɛma a ɛyɛ dɛ ahyɛ ne yafunu ma, na wape yɛn afiri nʼanom agu.
35 [So] the people of [PRS] Jerusalem say [to Yahweh], “Cause the people of Babylon to suffer like they caused us to suffer! Cause the people of Babylonia to be punished for killing [MTY] our people!”
Ma ayakayakadeɛ a wɔde dii yɛn honam no mmra Babilonia so,” nnipa a wɔtete Sion na wɔka. “Ma yɛn mogya ngu wɔn a wɔtete Babilonia so,” Yerusalem na ɔka.
36 And this is what Yahweh replies to the people of Jerusalem: “I will [be like your lawyer to] defend you, and I will avenge you. I will dry up the river in Babylon and [all] the springs of water.
Enti yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Hwɛ, mɛdi mo asɛm ama mo na matɔ were ama mo; Mɛma ɛpo a ɛwɔ no no awe na mama ne asutene awewe.
37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a place where jackals/wolves live. It will become a place that people are horrified about and will ridicule; it will be a place where no one lives.
Babilonia bɛyɛ mmubuiɛ sie, sakraman atu ahodwiredeɛ ne fɛdideɛ, baabi a obiara nteɛ.
38 The people of Babylon will [all] roar like young lions; they will growl like baby lions.
Ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa bobom sɛ agyata, wɔpɔ so te sɛ agyata mma.
39 But while they are extremely hungry, I will prepare a [different kind of] feast for them. [It is as though] I will cause them to drink wine until they are very drunk, [with the result that] they will fall asleep. But they will never wake up from that sleep!
Nanso ɛberɛ a wɔahwanyane wɔn ho no mɛto ɛpono ama wɔn na mama wɔaboboro nsã sɛdeɛ wɔde nteateam bɛdi ahurisie, na wɔadeda a wɔrennyane bio,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
40 I will bring them down to a place where they will be slaughtered, like [SIM] [someone who takes] lambs or rams or goats [to where they will be slaughtered for sacrifices].
“Mede wɔn bɛba te sɛ nnwammaa a wɔrekɔkum wɔn, te sɛ, nnwennini ne mpapo.
41 People all over the earth [now] (honor/praise) Babylon; they say that it is a great city. But I will cause it to become a [place about which people of all] nations are horrified.
“Wɔbɛfa Sesak, Sesak a agye asase nyinaa ayɛyie no! Babilonia bɛyɛ ahodwiredeɛ wɔ amanaman no mu!
42 The [enemies of Babylon] will cover the city [like] huge waves of the sea [DOU].
Ɛpo bɛbunkam afa Babilonia so; na nʼasorɔkye bɛkata ne so.
43 The towns in Babylonia will become ruins, Babylonia will become a dry desert area. It will be a land in which no one lives and which no one walks through.
Ne nkuro bɛda mpan. Ɛbɛyɛ anweatam a ɛso awo, asase a obiara nte soɔ, na obiara nntu ɛkwan mfa so.
44 And I will punish Bel, [the god that the people] of Babylon [worship], and I will cause the people to give back what they have stolen [MET]. [People of other] nations will no longer come to [worship] Bel. And the walls of Babylon will collapse.”
Mɛtwe Bel aso wɔ Babilonia na mama wape deɛ wamene agu. Amanaman no nnto santene nkɔ ne nkyɛn bio. Na Babilonia ɔfasuo bɛbubu.
45 [Yahweh also says, ] “My people, come out of Babylon! Run away from there! Run, because [I], Yahweh, am extremely angry [MTY] [with the people of Babylon, and I will get rid of them]!
“Me nkurɔfoɔ, Momfiri ne mu mfi! Montu mmirika mpere mo nkwa! Monnwane mfiri Awurade abufuhyeɛ ano.
46 Do not be discouraged/worried [IDM] or afraid when you hear reports [about what is happening in Babylon]. People will report rumors like that every year, rumors about violent things being done in the land, and rumors about leaders fighting against each other.
Mommma mo bo ntu na monnsuro sɛ mote atesɛm wɔ asase no so a; atesɛm bɛba afeɛ yi na foforɔ bɛba afedan, basabasayɛ ho atesɛm bɛba asase no so a ɛfa sodifoɔ a wɔsɔre tia afoforɔ ho.
47 But it will soon be the time for me to get rid of the idols in Babylon. [People all over] the land will be ashamed [because of being defeated]; and the corpses of their [soldiers] will lie in the streets.
Na ampa ara ɛberɛ no bɛba a mɛtwe Babilonia ahoni aso; nʼasase no nyinaa anim bɛgu ase na nʼatɔfoɔ nyinaa bɛhwehwe ase wɔ ne so.
48 Then all [the angels in] heaven and all the [people on] [PRS] the earth will rejoice, because from the north will come [armies] that will destroy Babylon.
Ɔsoro ne asase ne deɛ ɛwo mu nyinaa de ahosɛpɛ bɛteam agu Babilonia so, ɛfiri sɛ ɔsɛefoɔ bɛfiri atifi fam abɛto ahyɛ ne so,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
49 Like [the soldiers of Babylon] killed the people of Israel and [also] killed others all over the world [HYP], [the people of] Babylon must also be killed.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ Babilonia hwe ase, ɛsiane Israel atɔfoɔ enti, sɛdeɛ atɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ ewiase nyinaa ahwehwe ase ɛsiane Babilonia enti no.
50 You [Israeli people] who have not been killed [MTY], get out of Babylon! Do not wait! [Even though you are in a land] far away [from Israel], think about Yahweh, and think about Jerusalem!”
Mo a mo adwane afiri akofena ano, monkɔ na monntwentwɛn mo nan ase! Monkae Awurade wɔ akyirikyiri asase so, na monnwene Yerusalem ho.”
51 [The Israeli people say], “We are ashamed. We are completely disgraced [DOU], because foreigners have entered Yahweh’s temple [and (defiled it/caused it to become unfit for worship)].”
“Wɔagu yɛn anim ase, ɛfiri sɛ wasopa yɛn na fɛreɛ akata yɛn anim, ɛfiri sɛ amanfrafoɔ ahyɛne Awurade efie kronkronbea ahodoɔ hɔ.”
52 Yahweh replies, “[That is true], but there will soon be a time when I will destroy the idols in Babylon, and throughout Babylonia there will be wounded people who will groan.
“Nanso nna bi reba,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “a mɛtwe nʼahoni aso, na nʼasase so nyinaa apirafoɔ bɛsi apinie.
53 Even if [the walls around] Babylon could extend up to the sky, and if its walls/fortifications were extremely strong, I will send [armies] that will destroy the city. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Sɛ Babilonia kɔka ɔsoro mpo, na ɔmiamia nʼaban tenten banbɔ mu a, mɛsoma ɔsɛefoɔ abɛtia no,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
54 Listen to [the people of] Babylon crying [for help]! And listen to the sounds of things being destroyed all over Babylonia!
“Osu nnyegyeeɛ bi firi Babilonia, ɔsɛeɛ kɛseɛ bi nnyegyeeɛ firi Babiloniafoɔ asase so.
55 Yahweh will be destroying Babylon. He will cause the loud noises in the city to cease.
Awurade bɛsɛe Babilonia; ɔbɛma nʼasotuatua nnyegyeeɛ no agyae. Atamfoɔ a wɔte sɛ ahum bɛtu sɛ nsuo akɛseɛ aba ne so; wɔn mmobom bɛgyegye.
56 Enemy troops will surge against the city like [SIM] a great wave. They will capture the city’s mighty soldiers and break their weapons. [That will happen] because Yahweh is a God who punishes [his enemies] justly; he will punish them as they deserve.
Ɔsɛefoɔ bi bɛba abɛtia Babilonia; wɔbɛfa ne nnɔmmarima nnommum na wɔbɛbubu wɔn tadua mu. Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔhyɛ anan mu; ɔbɛtua so ka pɛpɛɛpɛ.
57 The king, the Commander of the armies of angels says, “I will cause the city officials and wise men, the army captains and soldiers [in Babylon] to become drunk. They will fall asleep, but they will never wake up [again]!”
Mɛma nʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne nʼanyansafoɔ aboro nsã, nʼamradofoɔ, ne mpanimfoɔ ne nnɔmmarima nso saa ara; wɔbɛdeda afebɔɔ a wɔrennyane,” sei na ɔhempɔn a ne din ne Asafo Awurade no seɛ.
58 Yahweh also says, “The thick walls around Babylon will be flattened to the ground. The city gates will be burned. People [from other countries] will work hard [to save the city], but it will be (in vain/useless), because everything [that they have built] will be destroyed by fire.”
Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ: “Wɔbɛdwiri Babilonia afasuo a ɛtrɛ no agu fam na wɔbɛto nʼapono a ɛwoware no mu ogya; nnipa no ha wɔn ho kwa, ɔman no adwumayɛ ma ogya no dɛre mmom.”
59 Seraiah was the man who made arrangements for the King of Babylon [whenever he traveled]. He was the son of Neraiah and grandson of Mahseiah. When he was about to go to Babylon with King Zedekiah, after Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, the prophet Jeremiah gave him a message.
Yei ne asɛm a Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Neria babarima Seraia a ɔyɛ adwumayɛfoɔ panin na ɔyɛ Maseia nana no, ɛberɛ a ɔne Yudahene Sedekia kɔɔ Babilonia wɔ nʼadedie afe a ɛtɔ so ɛnan no mu.
60 Jeremiah had written on a scroll a list of all the disasters that he had written about, disasters that would soon occur in Babylon.
Na Yeremia atwerɛ amanehunu a ɛbɛba Babilonia so no nyinaa agu nwoma mmobɔeɛ so, deɛ watwerɛ a ɛfa Babilonia ho nyinaa.
61 He said to Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, read [aloud] everything that I have written [on this scroll].
Ɔka kyerɛɛ Seraia sɛ, “Sɛ woduru Babilonia a, hwɛ sɛ wo bɛkenkan saa nsɛm yi nyinaa sɛdeɛ obiara bɛte.
62 Then pray, ‘Yahweh, you said that you will thoroughly destroy Babylon, with the result that people and animals will no [longer] live there. You said that it will be desolate forever.’
Afei, ka sɛ, ‘Ao Awurade, woaka sɛ wobɛsɛe beaeɛ yi sɛdeɛ onipa anaa aboa biara rentumi ntena so; na ɛbɛda mpan afebɔɔ.’
63 [Then], when you have finished reading [what I have written on] the scroll, tie it to a [heavy] stone and throw it into the Euphrates [River].
Sɛ wokenkane nwoma mmobɔeɛ yi wie a, kyekyere fam ɛboɔ ho, na to twene Asubɔnten Eufrate mu.
64 Then say, ‘In the same way, Babylon [and its people] will disappear and never exist again, because of the disasters that Yahweh will cause to occur there’” That is the end of Jeremiah’s messages.
Afei ka sɛ, ‘Sei na Babilonia ne ne nkurɔfoɔ bɛmem a wɔrensɔre bio, ɛsiane amanehunu a mede bɛba ne so no enti.’” Yeremia nsɛm no awieeɛ nie.
