1 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Yeremiya mu bufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda, mutabani wa Yosiya nga kigamba nti,

Eyi ne asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ wɔ bere a na Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim di ade no:

2 “Genda eri ekika eky’Abalekabu obayite bajje mu kimu ku bisenge mu nnyumba ya Mukama obawe envinnyo banywe.”

“Kɔ Rekabfo abusua no nkyɛn, na to nsa frɛ wɔn na wɔmmra Awurade fi no pia baako mu, na ma wɔn nsa nnom.”

3 Awo ne ntwala Yaazaniya mutabani wa Yeremiya, mutabani wa Kabazziniya ne baganda be ne batabani be bonna, ekika kyonna eky’Abalekabu.

Enti mekɔpɛɛ Habasinia babarima Yeremia babarima Yaasania ne ne nuabarimanom ne ne mmabarima nyinaa, Rekabfo abusuadɔm no.

4 Ne mbayingiza mu nnyumba ya Mukama, mu kisenge kya batabani ba Kanani mutabani wa Igudaliya omusajja wa Katonda. Kyali kiriraanye ekisenge kya bakungu, ekyali waggulu w’ekisenge kya Maaseya mutabani wa Sallumu omukuumi w’oluggi.

Mede wɔn baa Awurade fi, na mede wɔn kɔɔ Onyame nipa Yigdalia babarima Hanan mmabarima dan mu. Ɛno na edi adwumayɛfo dan a esi ɔpon ano hwɛfo Salum babarima Maaseia dan atifi no so.

5 Ne nteeka ebibya ebijjudde envinnyo n’ebikopo ebimu mu maaso g’abasajja ab’ennyumba y’Abalekabu ne mbagamba nti, “Munywe ku nvinnyo.”

Afei mede nkuruwa ne nkora a nsa wɔ mu besisii Rekabfo abusuamma no anim na meka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monnom nsa kakra.”

6 Naye ne baddamu nti, “Tetujja kunywa nvinnyo kubanga jjajjaffe Yonadabu mutabani wa Lekabu yatulagira nti, ‘Tewabanga n’omu ku mmwe wadde abaana bammwe anywanga envinnyo.

Nanso wobuae se, “Yɛnnnom nsa, efisɛ yɛn nena Rekab babarima Yehonadab maa yɛn ɔhyɛ nsɛm yi se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ mo anaa mo asefo nom nsa.

7 Era temuzimbanga ennyumba, wadde okusiganga ensigo wadde okusimba emizabbibu; temubanga na bintu bino byonna, naye mubeeranga mu weema zokka. Olwo munaawangaliranga mu nsi gye munaaberangamu.’

Na afei ɛnsɛ sɛ musisi afi, mudua anaa moyɛ bobe nturo, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ eyinom mu biara, na mmom montena ntamadan mu bere biara. Ɛno na mo nkwanna bɛware, wɔ asase a moyɛ atutenafo wɔ so no so.’

8 Twagondera ekiragiro kya jjajjaffe Yonadabu mutabani wa Lekabu kye yatulagira. Ffe wadde bakazi baffe wadde batabani baffe wadde bawala baffe tetunywangako ku nvinnyo,

Yɛatie biribiara a yɛn nena Rekab babarima Yonadad hyɛɛ yɛn no. Na yɛn, yɛn yerenom, mmabarima ne mmabea nnom nsa da

9 oba okuzimba ennyumba okusulamu oba okuba n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu, oba ebibanja oba ebirime.

na yensisii afi ntenaa mu anaa yennyaa bobe nturo anaa mfuw anaa nnɔbae.

10 Tusula mu weema era tugondedde bulambalamba byonna jjajjaffe Yonadabu bye yatulagira.

Yɛatenatena ntamadan mu, na yɛadi biribiara a yɛn nena Yehonadab hyɛɛ yɛn no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

11 Naye Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni bwe yazinda ensi eno ne tugamba nti, ‘Tugende e Yerusaalemi tuwone eggye ery’Abakaludaaya n’ery’Abasuuli,’ kyetuvudde tubeera mu Yerusaalemi.”

Nanso bere a Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar tuu asase yi so sa no, yɛkae se, ‘Mommra, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ Yerusalem na yeguan fi Babiloniafo ne Aramfo asraafo anim.’ Ɛno nti yɛaka Yerusalem.”

12 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,

Afei Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,

13 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Genda ogambe abantu ba Yuda n’ab’omu Yerusaalemi nti, ‘Temuyinza kubaako kye muyiga, ne mugondera ebigambo byange?

“Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem se, ‘Morensua biribi na morentie mʼasɛm ana?’ Awurade na ose.

14 Yonadabu mutabani wa Lekabu yalagira batabani be obutanywa nvinnyo n’ekiragiro kino kyakumibwa. Okutuusa ne leero tebanywa nvinnyo, kubanga baagondera etteeka lya jjajjaabwe. Naye njogedde nammwe emirundi mingi, naye temuŋŋondedde.

‘Rekab ba Yehonadab hyɛɛ ne mmabarima sɛ wɔnnom nsa, na wɔadi saa ɔhyɛ yi so. De besi nnɛ wɔnnom nsa, efisɛ wodi wɔn agyanom ahyɛde so. Na makasa akyerɛ mo mpɛn bebree, nanso muntiee me.

15 Emirundi mingi, natuma abaddu bange bonna bannabbi gye muli. Babagamba nti, “Buli omu ku mmwe ateekwa okuva mu makubo ge amabi akyuse ebikolwa bye, muleme kugoberera bakatonda balala okubaweereza, mulyoke mubeere mu nsi gye nabawa ne bajjajjammwe.” Naye temwanfaako wadde okumpuliriza.

Mesomaa mʼasomfo adiyifo nyinaa baa mo nkyɛn mpɛn bebree. Wɔkae se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mo mu biara sakra fi nʼamumɔyɛ akwan so, na moma mo akwan teɛ; munnni anyame foforo akyi na monnsom wɔn. Ɛno na mobɛtena asase a mede ama mo ne mo agyanom yi so.” Nanso mummmuaa me na munntiee me ɛ.

16 Ab’enda ya Yonadabu mutabani wa Lekabu baakuuma ekiragiro jjajjaabwe kye yabalagira, naye abantu bano tebaŋŋondedde.’

Rekab babarima Yehonadab asefo adi ahyɛde a wɔn agyanom de maa wɔn no so, nanso saa nnipa yi ntie mʼasɛm.’

17 “Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Muwulirize, ŋŋenda kuleeta ku Yuda ne ku buli muntu yenna atuula mu Yerusaalemi buli kibonoobono kye naboogerako. Nayogera nabo, naye tebampuliriza; nabayita, naye tebanziramu.’”

“Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn no se: ‘Muntie! Mede amanehunu biara a mahyɛ ama Yuda ne obiara a ɔte Yerusalem no bɛba wɔn so. Mekasa kyerɛɛ wɔn, nanso wɔantie, mefrɛɛ wɔn nanso wɔannye so.’”

18 Awo Yeremiya n’agamba ennyumba y’Abalekabu nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Mugondedde ekiragiro kya jjajjaammwe Yonadabu ne mukwata byonna bye yabalagira ne mutuukiriza byonna bye yabagamba.’

Afei Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Rekab abusua no se, “Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se: ‘Moayɛ osetie ama mo nena Yehonadab ahyɛde no, na moadi ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so, na moayɛ biribiara a ɔhyɛɛ mo no.’

19 Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Yonadabu mutabani wa Lekabu talirema kuba na mwana we alimpeereza.’”

Ɛno nti, nea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: ‘Rekab babarima Yehonadab benya ɔbarima a ɔbɛsom me bere biara.’”
