< Jeremiah 40 >

1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, aftir that he was delyuered of Nabusardan, maister of chyualrie, fro Rama, whanne he took hym boundun with chaynes, in the myddis of alle men that passiden fro Jerusalem, and fro Juda, and weren led in to Babyloyne.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a otua ɔhene awɛmfo ano no gyaa Yeremia wɔ Rama akyi no, asɛm no fi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ. Ohuu sɛ wɔagu Yeremia nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn wɔ nnommum a wofi Yerusalem ne Yuda a na wɔde wɔn rekɔ Babilonia no mu.
2 Therfor the prince of chyualrie took Jeremye, and seide to hym, Thi Lord God spak this yuel on this place,
Bere a ɔsahene a otua awɛmfo no ano no huu Yeremia no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, na ɔhyɛɛ saa amanehunu yi maa beae yi.
3 and the Lord hath brouyt, and hath do, as he spak; for ye synneden to the Lord, and herden not the vois of hym, and this word is doon to you.
Na afei, Awurade ama aba mu, wayɛ sɛnea ɔkaa se ɔbɛyɛ no. Eyinom nyinaa baa mu, efisɛ mo saa nnipa yi yɛɛ bɔne tiaa Awurade na moanyɛ osetie amma no.
4 Now therfor lo! Y haue releessid thee to dai fro the chaynes that ben in thin hondis; if it plesith thee to come with me in to Babiloyne, come thou, and Y schal sette myn iyen on thee; sotheli if it displesith thee to come with me in to Babiloyne, sitte thou here; lo! al the lond is in thi siyt, that that thou chesist, and whidur it plesith thee to go, thidur go thou,
Nanso nnɛ mereyi wo afi nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a egu wo nsa no mu. Sɛ wopɛ a, ma yɛnkɔ Babilonia na mɛhwɛ wo so, nanso sɛ wompɛ de a, mma. Hwɛ ɔman no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim no, kɔ baabiara a wopɛ.”
5 and nyle thou come with me. But dwelle thou with Godolie, sone of Aicham, sone of Saphan, whom the kyng of Babiloyne made souereyn to the citees of Juda; therfor dwelle thou with hym in the myddis of the puple, ether go thou, whidir euer it plesith thee to go. And the maister of chyualrie yaf to hym metis, and yiftis, and lefte hym.
Na ansa na Yeremia bɛdan ne ho akɔ no, Nebusaradan ka kaa ho se, “San kɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia a, ɔyɛ Safan nena, a Babiloniahene apa no sɛ ɔnhwɛ Yuda nkurow so no nkyɛn na wo ne no nkɔtena wɔ nnipa no mu, anaasɛ kɔ baabi foforo biara a wopɛ.” Na ɔsahene no maa Yeremia aduan ne akyɛde, na ɔmaa no kɔe.
6 Forsothe Jeremye cam to Godolie, sone of Aicham, in to Masphat, and dwellide with hym, in the myddis of the puple that was left in the lond.
Enti Yeremia kɔɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa, na ɔne no tenaa nnipa a wɔkaa wɔ asase no so no mu.
7 And whanne alle princes of the oost hadden herd, that weren scatered bi cuntreis, thei and the felowis of hem, that the kyng of Babiloyne hadde maad Godolie souereyn of the lond, the sone of Aicham, and that he hadde bitake to Godolie men, and wymmen, and litle children, and of pore men of the lond, that weren not translatid in to Babiloyne,
Bere a asraafo mpanyimfo no nyinaa ne wɔn mmarima a wɔda so wɔ wuram no tee sɛ, Babiloniahene ayɛ Ahikam babarima Gedalia amrado wɔ asase no so, na ɔde mmarima, mmea ne mmofra a wɔyɛ ahiafo wɔ asase no so, na wɔamfa wɔn ankɔ nnommum mu wɔ Babilonia ahyɛ ne nsa no,
8 thei camen to Godolie in Masphat; and Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, and Johannan, the sone of Caree, and Jonathan, and Sareas, the sone of Tenoemeth, and the sones of Offi, that weren of Nethophati, and Jeconye, the sone of Machati; bothe thei and her men camen to Godolie.
wɔbaa Gedalia hɔ wɔ Mispa: Netania babarima Ismael, Karea mmabarima Yohanan ne Yonatan, Tanhumet babarima Seraia, Efai a ofi Netofa mmabarima, Yesania a ɔyɛ Maakatni babarima ne wɔn mmarima.
9 And Godolie, sone of Aicham, sone of Saphan, swoor to hem, and to the felowis of hem, and seide, Nyle ye drede to serue Caldeis; but dwelle ye in the lond, and serue ye the kyng of Babiloyne, and it schal be wel to you.
Na Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nena no kaa ntam de hyɛɛ wɔn ne wɔn mmarima den se, “Munnsuro sɛ mobɛsom Babiloniafo. Montena asase no so na monsom Babiloniahene, na ebesi mo yiye.
10 Lo! Y dwelle in Mesphath, for to answere to the comaundement of Caldeis, that ben sent to vs; forsothe gadere ye vyndage, and ripe corn, and oile, and kepe ye in youre vessels, and dwelle ye in youre citees whiche ye holden.

11 But also alle the Jewis, that weren in Moab, and in the oostis of Amon, and in Ydumee, and in alle the cuntreis, whanne it is herd, that the kyng of Babiloyne hadde youe residues, ether remenauntis, in Judee, and that he hadde maad souereyn on hem Godolie, the sone of Aicham, sone of Saphan,
Bere a Yudafo a wɔwɔ Moab, Amon, Edom ne aman ahorow a aka no, tee sɛ Babiloniahene agyaw nkae bi wɔ Yuda na wayi Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nena sɛ amrado wɔ wɔn so no,
12 sotheli alle Jewis turneden ayen fro alle places, to whiche thei hadden fled; and thei camen in to the lond of Juda, to Godolie in Masphat, and gaderiden wyn and ripe corn ful myche.
wɔn nyinaa san baa Yuda asase so fi aman a wɔbɔɔ wɔn petee no so, kɔɔ Gedalia hɔ wɔ Mispa. Na wɔboaboaa nsa ne ahohuru bere mu nnuaba bebree ano wɔ twabere mu.
13 Forsothe Johannan, the sone of Caree, and alle the princes of the oost, that weren scaterid in the cuntreis, camen to Godolie in Masphath,
Na Karea babarima Yohanan ne ntuano asraafo a wɔda so wɔ wuram no baa Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa
14 and seiden to hym, Wite thou, that Bahalis, kyng of the sones of Amon, hath sent Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, to smyte thi lijf. And Godolie, the sone of Aicham, bileuyde not to hem.
na wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wunnim sɛ, Amonhene Baalis asoma Netania babarima Ismael se, ommekum wo ana?” Nanso Ahikam babarima Gedalia annye wɔn anni.
15 Forsothe Johannan, the sone of Caree, seide to Godolie asidis half in Masphath, and spak, Y schal go, and sle Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, while no man knowith, lest he sle thi lijf, and alle the Jewis ben scatered, that ben gaderid to thee, and the remenauntis of Juda schulen perische.
Na Karea babarima Yohanan ka kyerɛɛ Gedalia wɔ kokoa mu wɔ Mispa se, “Ma minkokum Netania babarima Ismael, na obiara rente. Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ okum wo na ɔma Yudafo a wɔatwa wo ho ahyia no bɔ ahwete, na Yudafo nkae no yera?”
16 And Godolie, the sone of Aicham, seide to Johannan, the sone of Caree, Nyle thou do this word, for thou spekist fals of Ismael.
Nanso Ahikam babarima Gedalia ka kyerɛɛ Karea babarima Yohanan se, “Nyɛ saa ade yi! Nea woka fa Ismael ho no nyɛ nokware.”
