< Jeremiah 32 >
1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, in the tenthe yeer of Sedechie, kyng of Juda; thilke is the eiytenthe yeer of Nabugodonosor.
Eyi ne asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ wɔ Yudahene Sedekia adedi afe a ɛto so du a na ɛyɛ Nebukadnessar adedi afe a ɛto so dunwɔtwe no mu.
2 Thanne the oost of the kyng of Babiloyne bisegide Jerusalem; and Jeremye, the profete, was closid in the porche of the prisoun, that was in the hous of the kyng of Juda.
Na Babiloniahene nsraadɔm aka Yerusalem ahyɛ a na odiyifo Yeremia nso da dua mu wɔ awɛmfo adiwo a ɛwɔ Yuda ahemfi.
3 For whi Sedechie, the kyng of Juda, hadde closid hym, and seide, Whi profesiest thou, seiynge, The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue this citee in the hond of the kyng of Babyloyne, and he schal take it; and Sedechie,
Na Yudahene Sedekia de no ato afiase wɔ hɔ reka se, “Adɛn nti na wohyɛ nkɔm a ɛte sɛɛ? Woka se, ‘Nea Awurade se ni: Mede saa kuropɔn yi rebɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa, na wafa no nnommum.
4 the kyng of Juda, schal not ascape fro the hond of Caldeis, but he schal be bitake in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne; and his mouth schal speke with the mouth of hym, and hise iyen schulen se the iyen of hym;
Yudahene Sedekia rennya kwan nguan mfi Babiloniafo nsam, na ampa ara hyɛ na wɔde no bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa, na ɔne no akasa anim ne anim na ɔde nʼani ahu no.
5 and he schal lede Sedechie in to Babiloyne, and he schal be there, til Y visyte hym, seith the Lord; forsothe if ye fiyten ayens Caldeis, ye schulen haue no thing in prosperite?
Ɔde Sedekia bɛkɔ Babilonia, na hɔ na ɔbɛtena akosi sɛ me ne no bedi, Awurade na ose. Sɛ woko tia Babiloniafo no a worenni nkonim.’”
6 And Jeremye seide, The word of the Lord was maad to me, and seide, Lo!
Yeremia kae se, “Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
7 Ananeel, the sone of Sellum, the sone of thi fadris brothir, schal come to thee, and seie, Bi thou to thee my feeld, which is in Anathot; for it bifallith to thee by niy kynrede, that thou bie it.
Wo wɔfa Salum babarima Hanamel rebɛba wo nkyɛn, abɛka se, ‘Tɔ mʼasase a ɛwɔ Anatot no, efisɛ woyɛ me busuani titiriw na wowɔ ho kwan, na ɛyɛ wʼasɛde nso sɛ wotɔ.’
8 And Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir, cam to me, bi the word of the Lord, to the porche of the prisoun, and seide to me, Welde thou my feeld, which is in Anathot, in the lond of Beniamyn; for whi the erytage bifallith to thee, and thou art the next of blood, that thou welde it. Forsothe Y vndirstood, that it was the word of the Lord.
“Na sɛnea Awurade aka no, me wɔfa ba Hanamel baa me nkyɛn wɔ awɛmfo adiwo hɔ bɛkae se, ‘Tɔ mʼasase a ɛwɔ Anatot wɔ Benyamin mantam mu no. Esiane sɛ wowɔ ho kwan sɛ wugye na wofa no nti, tɔ na fa.’ “Mihuu sɛ eyi yɛ Awurade asɛm.”
9 And Y bouyte the feeld, which is in Anathot, of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir. And Y paiede to hym siluer, seuene stateris, and ten platis of siluer;
Enti metɔɔ asase a na ɛwɔ Anatot no fii me wɔfa ba Hanamel nkyɛn na mituaa dwetɛ gram ɔha ne aduɔkron anan maa no.
10 and Y wroot in a book, and Y seelide, and Y yaf witnessis. And Y weiede siluer in a balaunce;
Mede me nsa hyɛɛ adetɔ nhoma no ase, sɔw ano wɔ nnansefo anim, na mede nsania karii dwetɛ mpɔw no.
11 and Y took the book aseelid of possessioun, and axingis and answerys of the seller and bier, and couenauntis, and seelis withoutforth.
Na mefaa adetɔ nhoma no, nea wɔasɔw ano a ɛho nhyehyɛe wɔ mu no, ne nea wɔnsɔw ano no nso,
12 And Y yaf the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Neri, sone of Maasie, bifore the iyen of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brother, and bifore the iyen of witnessis that weren writun in the book of biyng, bifore the iyen of alle Jewis, that saten in the porche of the prisoun.
na mede saa adetɔ nhoma no maa Neria babarima Baruk a, ɔyɛ Maaseia nena no wɔ me wɔfa ba Hanamel, nnansefo a wɔde wɔn nsa hyɛɛ adetɔ nhoma no ase ne Yudafo a na wɔwɔ awɛmfo adiwo hɔ no nyinaa anim.
13 And Y comaundide to Baruc bifore hem,
“Meka kyerɛɛ Baruk wɔ wɔn nyinaa anim se,
14 and Y seide, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Take thou these bookis, this seelid book of biyng, and this book which is opyn, and putte thou tho in an erthen vessel, that tho moun dwelle bi many daies.
‘Nea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: Fa saa adetɔ so nhoma yi, nea wɔasɔw ano ne nea wɔnsɔw ano, na fa gu dɔte asuhina mu, sɛnea ɛbɛkyɛ yiye.
15 For whi the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Yit housis, and feeldis, and vynes schulen be weldid in this lond.
Nea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: Wɔbɛtotɔ afi, mfuw ne bobe nturo wɔ asase yi so bio.’
16 And Y preiede to the Lord, aftir that Y bitook the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Nery; and Y seide, Alas!
“Mede adetɔ nhoma no maa Neria babarima Baruk akyiri no, mebɔɔ Awurade mpae se,
17 alas! alas! Lord God, Lord, thou madist heuene and erthe in thi greet strengthe, and in thin arm stretchid forth; ech word schal not be hard to thee;
“Ao, Otumfo Awurade, wo na wonam wo tumi ne wo basa a woateɛ mu so abɔ ɔsoro ne asase. Biribiara nyɛ den mma wo.
18 which doist merci in thousyndis, and yeldist the wickidnesse of fadris in to the bosum of her sones aftir hem. Thou strongeste, greet, myyti, Lord of oostis is name to thee;
Wuyi ɔdɔ adi kyerɛ mpempem, nanso wutua agyanom amumɔyɛ so ka gu wɔn mma a wodi wɔn akyi srɛ so. Onyankopɔn Tweduampɔn a woso na wowɔ tumi, wo din ne Asafo Awurade,
19 greet in councel, and vncomprehensible in thouyt, whose iyen ben open on alle the weies of the sones of Adam, that thou yelde to ech aftir hise weies, and aftir the fruyt of hise fyndyngis;
wo botae so, na wo nneyɛe yɛ kɛse. Wʼaniwa hu nnipa akwan nyinaa; na wutua obiara ka sɛnea nʼabrabɔ ne ne nneyɛe te.
20 which settidist signes and greet woundris in the lond of Egipt, `til to this dai, bothe in Israel and in men; and madist to thee a name, as this dai is.
Woyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade wɔ Misraim na atoa so de abesi nnɛ wɔ Israel ne adesamma nyinaa mu, na wode agye din a ɛwɔ wo de besi nnɛ.
21 And thou leddist thi puple Israel out of the lond of Egipt, in signes and in greet woundris, and in a strong hond, and in an arm holdun forth, and in greet dreed; and thou yauest to hem this lond,
Wode nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade, nsa a ɛyɛ den ne abasa a wɔateɛ mu ne nneɛma ɛyɛ hu yii wo man Israel fii Misraim.
22 which thou sworist to the fadris of hem, that thou woldist yyue to hem, a lond flowynge with milk and hony.
Wode asase a wokaa ho ntam sɛ wode bɛma wɔn agyanom no maa wɔn, asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so.
23 And thei entriden, and hadden it in possessioun; and thei obeieden not to thi vois, and thei yeden not in thi lawe; alle thingis whiche thou comaundidist to hem to do, thei diden not; and alle these yuels bifellen to hem.
Wɔba bedii, na wɔtenaa so, nanso wɔantie wo, na wɔanni wo mmara so; wɔanyɛ nea wohyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no. Enti wode saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.
24 Lo! strengthis ben bildid ayens the citee, that it be takun, and the citee is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, that fiyten ayens it, of the face of swerd, and of hungur, and of pestilence; and what euer thingis thou spakest, bifellen, as thou thi silf seest.
“Hwɛ sɛnea wɔasisi ntuano mpampim de rebegye kuropɔn no. Esiane afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm nti, wɔde kuropɔn no bɛhyɛ Babiloniafo a wɔretow ahyɛ ne so no nsa. Nea wokae no aba mu sɛnea wuhu no mprempren no.
25 And Lord God, thou seist to me, Bie thou a feeld for siluer, and yyue thou witnessis, whanne the citee is youun in the hondis of Caldeis.
Na ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔde kuropɔn no bɛhyɛ Babiloniafo nsa de, nanso wo, Otumfo Awurade, ka kyerɛ me se, ‘Fa dwetɛ tɔ asase na ma nnansefo mmra ho nhyehyɛe no mu.’”
26 And the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye, and seide, Lo!
Na Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,
27 Y am the Lord God of `al fleisch. Whether ony word schal be hard to me?
“Mene Awurade adesamma nyinaa Nyankopɔn. Na biribi yɛ den dodo ma me ana?
28 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bitake this citee in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal take it.
Enti nea Awurade se ni: Mede kuropɔn yi rebɛhyɛ Babiloniafo ne Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar nsa, na wɔafa.
29 And Caldeis schulen come, and fiyte ayens this citee, and thei schulen brenne it with fier, and thei schulen brenne it, and housis, in whose rooues thei sacrifieden to Baal, and offriden moist sacrifices to alien goddis, to terre me to wraththe.
Babiloniafo a wɔretow ahyɛ saa kuropɔn yi so no bɛba, na wɔato mu gya; wɔbɛhyew no dwerɛbee, ɛno ne afi a nnipa hyew nnuhuam wɔ atifi maa Baal na wohwiee afɔrebɔ nsa maa anyame foforo de hyɛɛ me abufuw no.
30 For whi the sones of Israel and the sones of Juda diden yuel contynueli, fro her yonge waxynge age, bifore myn iyen, the sones of Israel, whiche `til to now wraththen me bi the werk of her hondis, seith the Lord.
“Israelfo ne Yudafo nyɛɛ biribiara sɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so, efi wɔn mmabun bere mu; ampa ara Israelfo nyɛɛ biribiara sɛ wɔde nneɛma a wɔde wɔn nsa ayɛ bɛhyɛ me abufuw, Awurade na ose.
31 For whi this citee is maad to me in my strong veniaunce and indignacioun, fro the day in which thei bildiden it, `til to this dai, in which it schal be takun awei fro my siyt;
Efi da a wɔkyekyeree saa kuropɔn yi de besi nnɛ, wahyɛ me abufuw ne abufuwtraso a ɛsɛ sɛ miyi no fi mʼani so.
32 for the malice of the sones of Israel, and of the sones of Juda, which thei diden, terrynge me to wrathfulnesse, thei, and the kyngis of hem, the princes of hem, and the prestis, and profetis of hem, the men of Juda, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem.
Israelfo ne Yudafo de bɔne a wɔayɛ nyinaa ahyɛ me abufuw, wɔn, wɔn ahemfo ne adwumayɛfo, wɔn asɔfo ne adiyifo, mmarima a wɔwɔ Yuda ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem.
33 And thei turneden to me the backis, and not the faces, whanne Y tauyte, and enformede hem erli; and thei nolden here, that thei schulden take techyng.
Wɔdan wɔn akyi kyerɛɛ me; ɛwɔ mu, mekyerɛkyerɛ wɔn bere biara de, nanso wɔantie na wɔamfa nteɛso.
34 And thei settiden her idols in the hous, in which my name is clepid to help, that thei schulden defoule it.
Wɔasisi ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwade wɔ ofi a me Din da so no mu, de guu ho fi.
35 And thei bildiden hiy thingis to Baal, that ben in the valei of the sones of Ennon, that thei schulden halewe her sones and her douytris to Moloc, which thing Y comaundide not to hem, nether it stiede in to myn herte, that thei schulden do this abhomynacioun, and brynge Juda in to synne.
Wosisii sorɔnsorɔmmea maa Baal wɔ Ben Hinom bon mu, de wɔn mmabarima ne mmabea bɔɔ afɔre maa Molek, wɔ bere a menhyɛɛ wɔn na ɛmmaa mʼadwene mu da sɛ wɔnyɛ saa akyiwade yi mma Yuda nyɛ bɔne.
36 And now for these thingis, the Lord God of Israel seith these thingis to this citee, of whiche ye seien, that it schal be bitakun in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, in swerd, and in hungur, and in pestilence, Lo!
“Woreka wɔ kuropɔn yi ho se, ‘Wɔnam afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm so de bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa’; nanso sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se:
37 Y schal gadere hem fro alle londis, to whiche Y castide hem out in my strong veniaunce, and in my wraththe, and in greet indignacioun; and Y schal brynge hem ayen to this place, and Y schal make hem to dwelle tristili.
Ampa ara mɛboaboa wɔn ano afi nsase a mifi mʼabufuwhyew mu pam wɔn koguu hɔ; mɛsan de wɔn aba ha na mama wɔatena ase ahotɔ mu.
38 And thei schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to hem.
Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo, na mayɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn.
39 And Y schal yyue to hem oon herte and o soule, that thei drede me in alle daies, and that it be wel to hem, and to her sones aftir hem.
Na mɛma wɔn koma koro na wɔayɛ wɔn ade abɔ mu, sɛnea bere biara wobesuro me, wɔn ankasa ne wɔn nkyirimma yiyedi nti.
40 And Y schal smyte to hem a couenaunt euerlastynge, and Y schal not ceese to do wel to hem, and Y schal yyue my drede in the herte of hem, that thei go not awey fro me.
Na me ne wɔn bɛyɛ daapem apam: Merennyae wɔn yiyeyɛ da, na mede ɔpɛ bɛhyɛ wɔn koma mu, ama wɔasuro me, sɛnea wɔrentwe wɔn ho mfi me ho da.
41 And Y schal be glad on hem, whanne Y schal do wel to hem; and Y schal plaunte hem in this lond in treuthe, in al myn herte, and in al my soule.
Mʼani begye sɛ mɛyɛ wɔn yiye, na ampa ara mede me koma ne me kra nyinaa bedua wɔn wɔ asase yi so.
42 For the Lord seith these thingis, As Y brouyte on this puple al this greet yuel, so Y schal brynge on hem al the good, which Y schal speke to hem.
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Sɛnea mede amanehunu kɛse yi nyinaa aba nkurɔfo yi so no, saa ara na mede yiyedi a mahyɛ wɔn ho bɔ no bɛma wɔn.
43 And feeldis schulen be weldid in this lond, of which ye seien, that it is desert, for no man and beeste is left; and it is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis.
Wɔbɛtotɔ nsase bio wɔ ha, nea moka wɔ ho se, ‘Wɔde ahyɛ Babiloniafo nsa, ɛno nti ada mpan, na nnipa anaa mmoa nni so no.’
44 Feeldis schulen be bouyt for money, and schulen be writun in a book, and a seel schal be preentid; and witnessis schulen be youun, in the lond of Beniamyn, and in the cumpas of Jerusalem, and in the citees of Juda, and in the citees in hilli places, and in the citees in feeldi places, and in the citees that ben at the south; for Y schal turne the caitiftee of hem, seith the Lord.
Wɔde dwetɛ bɛtotɔ nsase, na wɔbɛyɛ adetɔ nhoma wɔ so. Wɔbɛsɔw ano wɔ nnansefo anim wɔ Benyamin mantam, nkuraa a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia, nkurow a ɛwɔ Yuda, bepɔw so man, atɔe fam mmepɔw ase ne Negeb, efisɛ mɛsan de wɔn ahonyade ama wɔn, Awurade na ose.”
