< Jeremiah 31 >

1 In that tyme, seith the Lord, Y schal be God to alle the kynredis of Israel; and thei schulen be in to a puple to me.
“Saa bere no,” Awurade na ose, “Mɛyɛ Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa Nyankopɔn, na wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo.”
2 The Lord seith these thingis, The puple that was left of swerd, foond grace in desert; Israel schal go to his reste.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Nnipa a wotumi gyinaa wɔ afoa ano no benya adom wɔ nweatam so; mede ahomegye bɛbrɛ Israel.”
3 Fer the Lord apperide to me, and in euerlastynge charite Y louede thee; therfor Y doynge merci drow thee.
Awurade daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ yɛn kan no na ɔkae se, “Mede ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adɔ mo mede adɔe atwe mo.
4 And eft Y schal bilde thee, and thou, virgyn Israel, schalt be bildid; yit thou schalt be ourned with thi tympans, and schalt go out in the cumpenye of pleieris.
Mede mo besi hɔ bio na wɔbɛsan de wo, Ɔbabun Israel, asi hɔ. Wobɛfa wʼakasae bio na woafi adi ne anigyefo akɔsaw.
5 Yit thou schalt plaunte vynes in the hillis of Samarie; men plauntynge schulen plaunte, and til the tyme come, thei schulen not gadere grapis.
Bio, mobɛyɛ bobe nturo wɔ Samaria nkoko so; akuafo no bedua na wɔadi so aba.
6 For whi a dai schal be, wherynne keperis schulen crye in the hil of Samarie, and in the hil of Effraym, Rise ye, and stie we in to Sion, to oure Lord God.
Da bi bɛba a, awɛmfo bɛteɛ mu wɔ Efraim nkoko so se, ‘Mommra, momma yɛnforo nkɔ Sion, nkɔ Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn nkyɛn.’”
7 For the Lord seith these thingis, Jacob, make ye ful out ioye in gladnesse, and neye ye ayens the heed of hethene men; sowne ye, synge ye, and seie ye, Lord, saue thi puple, the residues of Israel.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Momfa ahosɛpɛw nto nnwom mma Yakob; Monteɛ mu mma amanaman mu kannifo. Momma wɔnte mo ayeyi na monka se, ‘Awurade, gye wo nkurɔfo, Israel nkae no.’
8 Lo! Y schal brynge hem fro the loond of the north, and Y schal gadere hem fro the fertheste partis of erthe; among whiche schulen be a blynd man, and crokid, and a womman with childe, and trauelynge of child togidere, a greet cumpeny of hem that schulen turne ayen hidur.
Hwɛ, mede wɔn befi atifi fam asase so aba na maboa wɔn ano afi nsase ano. Wɔn mu bi bɛyɛ anifuraefo, mpakye, apemfo ne mmea a wɔwɔ awoko mu; dɔm kɛse bɛsan aba.
9 Thei schulen come in wepyng, and Y schal brynge hem ayen in merci; and Y schal brynge hem bi the strondis of watris in a riytful weie, thei schulen not spurne therynne; for Y am maad a fadir to Israel, and Effraym is my gendrid sone.
Wɔde osu na ɛbɛba; wɔbɛbɔ mpae bere a mede wɔn resan aba no. Mede wɔn bɛfa nsuwa ho; ɔkwan tamaa a wɔrenhintiw wɔ so, efisɛ mɛyɛ Israel agya, na Efraim yɛ me babarima piesie.
10 Ye hethene men, here ye the word of the Lord, and telle ye in ylis that ben fer, and seie, He that scateride Israel, schal gadere it, and schal kepe it, as a scheepherde kepith his floc.
“Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo amanaman; mommɔ no dawuru wɔ mpoano nsase a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri so se, ‘Nea ɔbɔɔ Israel petee no bɛboaboa wɔn ano na wahwɛ ne nguankuw so sɛ oguanhwɛfo.’
11 For the Lord ayenbouyte Jacob, and delyuerede hym fro the hond of the myytiere.
Na Awurade begyina mu ama Yakob na wagye wɔn afi wɔn a wɔwɔ ahoɔden sen wɔn no nsam.
12 And thei schulen come, and herye in the hil of Sion; and thei schulen flowe togidere to the goodis of the Lord, on wheete, wyn, and oile, and on the fruyt of scheep, and of neet; and the soule of hem schal be as a watri gardyn, and thei schulen no more hungre.
Wɔbɛba na wɔde ahurusi ateɛ mu wɔ Sion sorɔnsorɔmmea; wɔbɛsɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ akyɛde bebrebe a efi Awurade hɔ mu, atoko, nsa foforo ne ngo, nguantenmma ne anantwi. Wɔbɛyɛ sɛ turo a wɔagugu so nsu yiye, na wɔrenni awerɛhow bio.
13 Thanne a virgyn schal be glad in a cumpenye, yonge men and elde togidere; and Y schal turne the morenyng of hem in to ioie, and Y schal coumforte hem, and Y schal make hem glad of her sorewe.
Afei mmabaa bɛsaw na wɔn ani agye, mmerante ne nkwakoraa nso ka ho. Mɛma wɔn awerɛhow adan anigye; mɛma wɔn ahotɔ ne ahosɛpɛw de asi awerɛhow anan mu.
14 And Y schal greetli fille the soule of prestis with fatnesse, and my puple schal be fillid with my goodis, seith the Lord.
Mɛma asɔfo no nea ehia wɔn ama abu so, na mama mʼakyɛde bebrebe amee me nkurɔfo,” Awurade, na ose.
15 The Lord seith these thingis, A vois of weilyng, and of wepyng, and of mourenyng, was herd an hiy; the vois of Rachel biwepynge hir sones, and not willynge to be coumfortid on hem, for thei ben not.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Wɔte nne bi wɔ Rama, awerɛhow ne agyaadwotwa bebree, Rahel resu ne mma na ɔmpɛ sɛ wɔkyekye ne werɛ, efisɛ ne mma nni hɔ bio.”
16 The Lord seith these thingis, Thi vois reste of wepyng, and thin iyen reste of teeres; for whi mede is to thi werk, seith the Lord; and thei schulen turne ayen fro the lond of the enemy.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Hyɛ wo ho so na woansu, mia wʼani na woante nusu, efisɛ wobetua wʼadwumayɛ so ka,” Awurade na ose. “Wɔbɛsan afi atamfo no asase so aba.
17 And hope is to thi laste thingis, seith the Lord, and thi sones schulen turne ayen to her endis.
Enti anidaso wɔ hɔ ma wo daakye.” Awurade na ose. Wo mma bɛsan aba wɔn ankasa asase so.
18 I heringe herde Effraym passinge ouer; thou chastisidist me, and Y am lerned as a yong oon vntemyd; turne thou me, and Y schal be conuertid, for thou art my Lord God.
“Ampa ara mate sɛ Efraim resu se, ‘Woteɛteɛɛ me so sɛ nantwi ba a nʼani yɛ den, na manya ahohyɛso. Gye me bio, na mɛsan aba, efisɛ wo ne Awurade, me Nyankopɔn.
19 For aftir that thou conuertidist me, Y dide penaunce; and aftir that thou schewidist to me, Y smoot myn hipe; Y am schent, and Y schamede, for Y suffride the schenschipe of my yongthe.
Meman akyi no, minyaa adwensakra; na akyiri a minyaa ntease no, mebɔɔ me koko so. Mʼanim guu ase na mefɛree, efisɛ me mmabun mu animguase da so so me.’
20 For Effraym is a worschipful sone to me, for he is a delicat child; for sithen Y spak of hym, yit Y schal haue mynde on hym; therfor myn entrails ben disturblid on him, Y doynge merci schal haue merci on hym, seith the Lord.
Efraim nyɛ me babarima dɔfo, ɔba a ɔsɔ mʼani ana? Ɛwɔ mu, metaa kasa tia no de, nanso meda so kae no. Enti me koma pere hwehwɛ no; mewɔ ayamhyehye ma no,” sɛɛ na Awurade se.
21 Ordeyne to thee an hiy totyng place, sette to thee bitternesses; dresse thin herte in to a streiyt weie, in which thou yedist; turne ayen, thou virgyn of Israel, turne ayen to these thi citees.
“Momfa agyiraehyɛde nsisi akwan ho; munsisi akwankyerɛ afadum. Monhyɛ ɔtempɔn no nsow, ɔkwan a monam so ba. San wʼakyi, Ɔbabun Israel, san bra wo nkurow so.
22 Hou longe, douyter of vnstidfast dwellyng, art thou maad dissolut in delices? for the Lord hath maad a newe thing on erthe, a womman schal cumpasse a man.
Wubekyinkyin akosi da bɛn, Ɔbabea Israel sesafo? Awurade bɛyɛ ade foforo wɔ asase so, ɔbea bɛbɔ ɔbarima ho ban.”
23 The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Yit thei schulen seie this word in the lond of Juda, and in the citees therof, whane Y schal turne the caytifte of hem, The Lord blesse thee, thou fairnesse of riytfulnesse, thou hooli hil.
Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se: “Sɛ mesan de wɔn fi nnommum mu ba a, nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda asase ne nkurow so bɛsan aka saa nsɛm yi se, ‘Awurade nhyira wo, wo yiyeyɛ kuropɔn ne bepɔw kronkron.’
24 And Juda, and alle citees therof schulen dwelle in it togidere, erthetilieris, and thei that dryuen flockis.
Nnipa bɛbɔ mu atena ase wɔ Yuda ne ne nkurow nyinaa so, akuafo ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nguankuw nenam.
25 For Y fillide greetli a feynt soule, and Y haue fillid ech hungri soule.
Mɛma nea wabrɛ no anya ahoɔden foforo, na nea watɔ piti no nso mɛma no amee.”
26 Therfor Y am as reisid fro sleep, and Y siy; and my sleep was swete to me.
Minyanee, na mehwɛɛ me ho hyiae. Medaa hatee.
27 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sowe the hous of Israel and the hous of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of werk beestis.
“Nna bi reba,” Awurade na ose, “A mede nnipa mma ne mmoa mma bedua Israel ne Yuda fi.
28 And as Y wakide on hem, to drawe vp bi the roote, and to distrie, and to scatere, and to leese, and to turmente; so Y schal wake on hem, to bilde, and to plaunte, seith the Lord.
Sɛnea mehwɛ ma wotutui, wodwiriwii, wobubui, wɔsɛee na wɔde amanehunu bae no, saa ara na mɛhwɛ ama wɔasi na wɔadua,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
29 In tho daies thei schulen no more seie, The fadres eeten a sour grape, and the teeth of sones weren astonyed; but ech man schal die in his wickidnesse,
Saa nna no mu, nnipa renka bio se, “‘Agyanom adi bobe nwennaa, na mma se afem.’
30 ech man that etith a sour grape, hise teeth schulen be astonyed.
Mmom, obiara bewu wɔ ɔno ara bɔne ho; nea obedi bobe nwennaa no ɔno na ne se bɛfem.
31 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal smyte a newe boond of pees to the hous of Israel, and to the hous of Juda;
“Bere no reba,” Awurade na ose, “a me ne Israelfi ne Yudafi bɛyɛ apam foforo.
32 not bi the couenaunte which Y made with youre fadris, in the dai in which Y took the hond of hem, to lede hem out of the lond of Egipt, the couenaunte which thei made voide; and Y was Lord of hem, seith the Lord.
Ɛrenyɛ sɛ apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛe no bere a misoo wɔn nsa, dii wɔn anim fii Misraim, esiane sɛ wobuu mʼapam so, wɔ bere a na meyɛ okunu ma wɔn no,” Awurade na ose.
33 But this schal be the couenaunte, which Y schal smyte with the hous of Israel aftir tho daies, seith the Lord; Y schal yyue my lawe in the entrails of hem, and Y schal write it in the herte of hem, and Y schal be in to God to hem, and thei schulen be in to a puple to me.
“Eyi ne apam a me ne Israelfi bɛyɛ saa bere no akyi,” Awurade na ose. “Mede me mmara bɛhyɛ wɔn adwene mu, na makyerɛw wɔ wɔn koma so. Mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn, na wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo.
34 And a man schal no more teche his neiybore, and a man his brother, and seie, Knowe thou the Lord; for alle schulen knowe me, fro the leeste of hem `til to the mooste, seith the Lord; for Y schal be merciful to the wickidnessis of hem, and Y schal no more be myndeful on the synne of hem.
Na obiara renkyerɛkyerɛ ne yɔnko bio, anaa ne nua se, ‘Hu Awurade,’ Efisɛ, wɔn nyinaa behu me, efi wɔn mu akumaa so, kosi ɔkɛse so,” Sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Na mede wɔn amumɔyɛ bɛkyɛ wɔn, na merenkae wɔn bɔne bio.”
35 The Lord seith these thingis, that yyueth the sunne in the liyt of dai, the ordre of the moone and of sterris in the liyt of the niyt, whiche disturblith the see, and the wawis therof sownen, the Lord of oostis is name to hym.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se, nea ɔma owia hyerɛn adekyee, na ɔhyɛ ɔsram ne nsoromma sɛ wɔnhyerɛn anadwo; nea ɔkanyan ɛpo ma nʼasorɔkye bobɔ mu, Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
36 If these lawis failen bifore me, seith the Lord, thanne and the seed of Israel schal faile, that it be not a folk bifore me in alle daies.
“Saa ahyɛde yi twa mu mʼani so a,” Awurade na ose, “ɛno ansa na Israel begyae ɔmanyɛ wɔ mʼanim.”
37 The Lord seith these thingis, If heuenes aboue moun be mesurid, and the foundementis of erthe bynethe be souyt out, and Y schal caste awei al the seed of Israel, for alle thingis whiche thei diden, seith the Lord.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Sɛ wobetumi asusuw wim ntrɛwmu na wɔatumi ahwehwɛ asase ase fapem mu a ɛno de, mɛpo Israel asefo nyinaa, esiane nea wɔayɛ nyinaa nti,” Awurade na ose.
38 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and a citee schal be bildid to the Lord, fro the tour of Ananeel `til to the yate of the corner.
“Nna no reba,” Awurade na ose, “a wɔbɛkyekye kuropɔn yi bio ama me, fi Hananel abantenten kosi Twɔtwɔw so Pon.
39 And it schal go out ouer the reule of mesure, in the siyt therof, on the hil Gareb, and it schal cumpasse Goatha,
Wɔbɛtwe susuhama no mu, afi hɔ de akosi Gareb koko so, na akɔntɔn akɔ Goa.
40 and al the valei of careyns, and it schal cumpasse aischis, and al the cuntrei of deth, `til to the stronde of Cedron, and til to the corner of the eest yate of horsis; the hooli thing of the Lord schal not be drawun out, and it schal no more be destried with outen ende.
Obon a wɔtow afunu ne nsõ gu mu no nyinaa ne asase a ɛkɔ Kidron bon mu wɔ apuei fam, kosi apɔnkɔ pon no twɔtwɔw so bɛyɛ kronkron ama Awurade. Wɔrentutu na wɔrensɛe kuropɔn no da.”
