Jeremiah 21

1 The word which was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, whanne king Sedechie sente to hym Phassur, the sone of Helchie, and Sofonye, the preest, the sone of Maasie, and seide,

Asɛm firi Awurade hɔ baa Yeremia nkyɛn ɛberɛ a, ɔhene Sedekia somaa Malkia babarima Pashur ne Maaseia babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Sefania kɔɔ ne nkyɛn. Wɔkaa sɛ,

2 Axe thou the Lord for vs, for Nabugodonosor, the kyng of Babiloyne, fiytith ayens vs; if in hap the Lord do with vs bi alle hise merueilis, and he go awei fro vs.

“Bisa Awurade, ma yɛn ɛfiri sɛ Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne yɛn rebɛdi ako. Ebia Awurade bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ ama yɛn, sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ mmerɛ bi a atwam no na wafiri yɛn so akɔ.”

3 And Jeremye seide to hem, Thus ye schulen seie to Sedechie,

Na Yeremia buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monka nkyerɛ Sedekia sɛ,

4 The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal turne the instrumentis of batel that ben in youre hondis, and with which ye fiyten ayens the king of Babiloyne, and ayens Caldeis, that bisegen you in the cumpas of wallis; and Y schal gadere tho togidere in the myddis of this citee.

‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie: Merebɛdane mo nsam akodeɛ atia mo, deɛ mode reko atia Babiloniahene ne Babiloniafoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔfasuo no akyi na wɔatua mo kuropɔn no. Mɛboa wɔn ano wɔ kuropɔn yi mu.

5 And Y schal ouercome you in hond stretchid forth, and in strong arm, and in stronge veniaunce, and indignacioun, and in greet wraththe;

Me ara mede nsa a matene ne abasa a ɛyɛ den bɛko atia mo wɔ abufuo, anibereɛ ne abufuhyeɛ mu.

6 and Y schal smyte the dwelleris of this citee, men and beestis schulen die bi greet pestilence.

Mɛbobɔ wɔn a wɔtete kuropɔn yi mu ahwehwe fam; nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa, na ɔyaredɔm a ɛyɛ hu bɛkunkum wɔn.

7 And after these thingis, seith the Lord, Y schal yyue Sedechie, kyng of Juda, and hise seruauntis, and his puple, and that ben left in this citee fro pestilence, and swerd, and hungur, in the hond of Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, and in the hond of her enemyes, and in the hond of men sekynge the lijf of hem; and he schal smyte hem bi the scharpnesse of swerd; and he schal not be bowid, nether schal spare, nether schal haue mercy.

Ɛno akyi, Awurade asɛm nie, mede Yudahene Sedekia, nʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne nnipa a wɔwɔ kuropɔn yi mu a ɔyaredɔm, akofena ne ɛkɔm ankunkum wɔn no bɛma Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne wɔn atamfoɔ wɔrepɛ wɔn nkwa no. Ɔde akofena bɛkunkum wɔn; ɔrenhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ na ɔrennya ayamhyehyeɛ mma wɔn.’

8 And thou schalt seie to this puple, The Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y yyue bifore you the weie of lijf, and the weie of deth.

“Ɛbio, ka kyerɛ nnipa no sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Hwɛ mede nkwa ɛkwan ne owuo ɛkwan resi mo anim.

9 He that dwellith in this citee, schal die bi swerd, and hungur, and pestilence; but he that goith out, and fleeth ouer to Caldeis that bisegen you, schal lyue, and his lijf schal be as a prey to hym.

Obiara a ɔte saa kuropɔn yi mu bɛwu wɔ akofena anaa ɛkɔm anaa ɔyaredɔm ano. Nanso obiara ɔbɛpue na ɔde ne ho akɔma Babiloniafoɔ a wɔabɛtua mo kuropɔn yi no, bɛfa ne ho adi.

10 For Y haue set my face on this citee in to yuel, and not in to good, seith the Lord; it schal be youun in the hond of the king of Babiloyne, and he schal brenne it with fier.

Mawe ahinam sɛ, mɛyɛ kuropɔn yi bɔne na ɛnyɛ papa, Awurade na ɔseɛ. Wɔde bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa, na ɔde ogya bɛhye no.’

11 And thou schalt seie to the hous of the king of Juda, the hous of Dauid, Here ye the word of the Lord.

“Deɛ ɛka ho ne sɛ, ka kyerɛ Yuda adehyefie sɛ, ‘Montie Awurade asɛm;

12 The Lord seith these thingis, Deme ye eerli doom, and delyuere ye hym that is oppressid bi violence fro the hond of the fals chalenger; lest perauenture myn indignacioun go out as fier, and be kyndlid, and noon be that quenche, for the malice of youre studies.

Ao Dawid efie, sei na Awurade seɛ: “‘Mommu atɛntenenee anɔpa biara; monnye deɛ wɔabɔ no korɔno no mfiri ne nhyɛsofoɔ nsam, anyɛ saa a mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛsɔre na ahye sɛ ogya ɛsiane bɔne a moayɛ enti, ɛbɛhye a obiara rennum no.

13 Lo! Y to thee, dwelleresse of the sad valei and pleyn, seith the Lord, which seien, Who schal smyte vs, and who schal entre in to oure housis?

Me ne mo anya, Yerusalem Mo a mote bɔnhwa yi atifi abotan asaseta soɔ, Awurade na ɔseɛ, mo a moka sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛtumi ako atia yɛn? Hwan na ɔbɛtumi ahyɛne yɛn hintabea?”

14 And Y schal visite on you bi the fruyt of youre studies, seith the Lord; and Y schal kyndle fier in the forest therof, and it schal deuoure alle thingis in the cumpas therof.

Mɛtwe mo aso sɛdeɛ ɛfata mo nneyɛɛ, Awurade na ɔseɛ. Mɛto mo kwaeɛ mu ogya, a ɛbɛhye biribiara a atwa mo ho ahyia.’”
