Jeremiah 11
1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye,
Asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade hɔ baa Yeremia nkyɛn nie:
2 and seide, Here ye the wordis of this couenaunt, and speke ye to the men of Juda, and to the dwelleris of Jerusalem; and thou schalt seie to hem,
“Tie apam yi mu nhyehyɛeɛ na ka kyerɛ Yudafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem.
3 The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Cursid be the man that herith not the wordis of this couenaunt,
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, yei ne deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ: ‘Nnome nka onipa a ɔnni apam yi mu nhyehyɛeɛ so,
4 which Y comaundide to youre fadris, in the dai in which Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, fro the irone furneis; and Y seide, Here ye my vois, and do ye alle thingis whiche Y comaundide to you, and ye schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to you;
deɛ mehyɛ maa mo agyanom ɛberɛ a meyii wɔn firii Misraim, fononoo a wɔnane dadeɛ wo mu no.’ Mekaa sɛ, ‘Monyɛ ɔsetie mma me na monyɛ biribiara mehyɛ mo, na mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mayɛ mo Onyankopɔn.
5 that Y reise the ooth which Y swoor to youre fadris, that Y schulde yyue to hem a lond flowynge with mylk and hony, as this dai is. And Y answeride, and seide, Amen, Lord.
Na afei mɛma ntam a mekaa mo agyanom sɛ, mema wɔn asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so no aba mu,’ asase mote so ɛnnɛ yi.” Mebuaa sɛ, “Amen, Awurade.”
6 And the Lord seide to me, Crye thou alle these wordis in the citees of Juda, and with out Jerusalem, and seie thou, Here ye the wordis of this couenaunt, and do ye tho;
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Bɔ saa asɛm yi ho dawuro wɔ Yuda nkuro ne Yerusalem mmɔntene so sɛ: ‘Montie apam yi ho nhyehyɛeɛ na monni so.
7 for Y witnessynge haue witnessid to youre fadris, in the dai in which Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, `til to this dai; Y roos eerli, and witnesside, and seide, Here ye my vois.
Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a, meyii mo agyanom firii Misraim bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi, mebɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ ɛberɛ biara sɛ, “Monyɛ ɔsetie mma me.”
8 And thei herden not, nether bowiden doun her eere, but thei yeden forth ech man in the schrewidnesse of his yuel herte; and Y brouyte in on hem alle the wordis of this couenaunt, which Y comaundide that thei schulden do, and thei diden not.
Nanso, wɔantie na wɔamfa no asɛm; na mmom, wɔdii asoɔden a ɛfiri wɔn akoma bɔne mu akyi. Ɛno enti memaa nnomea a ɛfiri apam a mahyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnni so na wɔanni so no mu baa wɔn so.’”
9 And the Lord seide to me, Sweryng togidere is foundun in the men of Juda, and in the dwelleris of Jerusalem;
Na afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Atuateɛ apam bi wɔ Yudafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem ntam.
10 thei turneden ayen to the formere wickidnessis of her fadris, that nolden here my wordis; and therfor these men yeden aftir alien goddis, for to serue hem; the hous of Israel and the hous of Juda maden voide my couenaunt, which Y made with the fadris of hem.
Wɔasane kɔ wɔn agyanom a wɔampɛsɛ wɔtie mʼasɛm no, bɔne ho. Wɔadi anyame foforɔ akyi akɔsom wɔn. Yerusalem fiefoɔ ne Yuda fiefoɔ abu apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛeɛ no so.
11 Wherfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bringe in on hem yuels, of whiche thei schulen not mow go out; and thei schulen crie to me, and Y schal not here hem.
Ɛno enti deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Mede amanehunu a wɔrentumi nnwane mfiri mu bɛba wɔn so. Ɛwom sɛ, wɔsufrɛ me deɛ, nanso merennye wɔn so.
12 And the citees of Juda and the dwellers of Jerusalem schulen go, and schulen crye to hem, to whiche thei offren sacrifices; and thei schulen not saue hem in the tyme of her turment.
Yuda nkuro ne Yerusalemfoɔ bɛkɔ akɔsu afrɛ anyame a wɔhye nnuhwam ma wɔn no, nanso sɛ amanehunu ba a wɔrentumi mmoa wɔn koraa.
13 For thou, Juda, thi goddis weren bi the noumbre of thi citees, and thou settidist auters of schenschipe, bi the noumbre of the weies of Jerusalem, auters to offre sacrifices to Baalym.
Ao Yuda, wowɔ anyame a wɔn dodoɔ bɛyɛ sɛ wo nkuro; na afɔrebukyia a moasisi sɛ mobɛhye nnuhwam wɔ so ama animguaseɛ nyame Baal no dɔɔso sɛ Yerusalem mmɔntene.’
14 Therfor nyle thou preie for this puple, and take thou not heriyng and preier for hem; for Y schal not here in the tyme of the cry of hem to me, in the tyme of the turment of hem.
“Mmɔ mpaeɛ mma saa nnipa yi, nni mma wɔn na nsrɛ mma wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔsu frɛ me wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu a, merennye wɔn so.
15 What is it, that my derlyng doith many greet trespassis in myn hous? whether hooli fleischis schulen do awei fro thee thi malice, in which thou hast glorie?
“Ɛdeɛn na medɔfo reyɛ wɔ mʼasɔredan mu ɛberɛ a wayɛ nsɛmmɔne bebree no? Mpaeɛbɔ ne afɔdeɛ bɛtumi abɔ wʼasotwe no agu anaa? Sɛ woyɛ wʼamumuyɛsɛm a na wʼani agye.”
16 The Lord clepide thi name an olyue tre, fair, ful of fruyt, schapli; at the vois of a greet speche fier brent an hiy ther ynne, and the buyschis therof ben brent.
Awurade, frɛɛ wo ngo dua a anyini frɔmm a ɛso aba a ɛyɛ fɛ. Nanso ɔde ahum kɛseɛ bi huiɛ bɛto mu ogya, na ne mman bɛbubu.
17 And the Lord of oostis that plauntide thee, spak yuel on thee, for the yuels of the hous of Israel, and of the hous of Juda, whiche thei diden to hem silf, and offriden to Baalym, to terre me to wraththe.
Asafo Awurade a ɔduaa wo no ahyɛ amanehunu ho nkɔm wɔ wo ho, ɛfiri sɛ, Israel fiefoɔ ne Yuda fiefoɔ ayɛ bɔne ahyɛ me abufuo sɛ wɔhye nnuhwam ma Baal.
18 Forsothe, Lord, thou schewidist to me, and Y knew; thou schewidist to me the studies of hem.
Esiane sɛ Awurade yii ɛpɔ a wɔabɔ kyerɛɛ me no enti, mehunuuɛ, ɛfiri sɛ saa ɛberɛ no ɔde deɛ wɔreyɛ no kyerɛɛ me.
19 And Y am as a mylde lomb, which is borun to slayn sacrifice; and Y knew not, that thei thouyten counsels on me, and seiden, Sende we a tre in to the brede of hym, and rase we hym awei fro the lond of lyueris, and his name be no more hadde in mynde.
Meyɛɛ sɛ odwammaa a ɔdwoɔ a wɔde no rekɔ akɔkum no; amma mʼadwene mu sɛ wɔabɔ wɔn tirim po atia me sɛ, “Momma yɛnsɛe dua no ne nʼaba no; momma yɛntwa no mfiri ateasefoɔ asase so, sɛdeɛ wɔnnkae ne din bio.”
20 But thou, Lord of oostis, that demest iustli, and preuest reynes and hertis, se Y thi veniaunce of hem; for to thee Y schewide my cause.
Nanso Ao, Asafo Awurade, wo a wobu atɛntenenee na wosɔ akoma ne adwene hwɛ, ma menhunu wʼaweretɔ wɔ wɔn so, na wo nsam na mede me nsɛm nyinaa hyɛ.
21 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis to the men of Anathot, that seken thi lijf, and seien, Thou schalt not prophesie in the name of the Lord, and thou schalt not die in oure hondis.
Ɛno enti deɛ Awurade ka fa Anatot mmarimma a wɔrepɛ wo akum wo na wɔka sɛ, “Nhyɛ nkɔm wɔ Awurade din mu anyɛ saa a, wobɛwu wɔ yɛn nsa ano,”
22 Therfor the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal visite on hem; the yonge men of hem schulen die bi swerd, the sones of hem and the douytris of hem schulen die for hungur;
Ɛno enti, deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie: “Mɛtwe wɔn aso. Wɔn mmeranteɛ bɛwuwu akofena ano, na ɛkɔm bɛkunkum wɔn mmammarima ne mmammaa.
23 and no relifs, ether children abidynge, schulen be of hem; for Y schal bringe ynne yuel on the men of Anathot, the yeer of the visitacioun of hem.
Wɔrennya wɔn nkaeɛfoɔ biara mpo, ɛfiri sɛ mede amanehunu bɛba Anatotfoɔ so wɔ wɔn asotwe afe mu.”
