1 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya, nga Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’abambowa amusumuludde e Laama, bwe yamusanga ng’asibiddwa mu masamba n’abasibe abalala bonna ab’e Yerusaalemi ne Yuda abaali batwalibwa e Babulooni mu busibe.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua ɔhene awɛmfoɔ ano no gyaee Yeremia wɔ Rama akyi no, asɛm no firi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ. Ɔhunuu sɛ, wɔagu Yeremia nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn wɔ nnommumfoɔ a wɔfiri Yerusalem ne Yuda a na wɔde wɔn rekɔ Babilonia no mu.
2 Omuduumizi w’abaserikale yatwala Yeremiya n’amugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wo, ye yaleeta ekivume kino ku kifo kino.
Brɛ a ɔsahene a ɔtua awɛmfoɔ no ano no hunuu Yeremia no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na ɔhyɛɛ saa amanehunu yi maa beaeɛ yi.
3 Kaakano Mukama akireese era akikoze nga bwe yasuubiza. Bino byonna byabaawo kubanga abantu bo baasobya eri Mukama ne batamugondera.
Na afei, Awurade ama aba mu. Wayɛ sɛdeɛ ɔkaa sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no. Yeinom nyinaa baa mu, ɛfiri sɛ, mo saa nnipa yi yɛɛ bɔne tiaa Awurade na moanyɛ ɔsetie amma no.
4 Naye leero nkusumulula okuva mu njegere ez’oku mikono gyo. Jjangu tugende ffembi e Babulooni obanga oyagala, nnaakulabirira; naye bw’oba nga toyagala, tojja. Laba, ensi yonna eri mu maaso go, genda yonna gy’oyagala.”
Nanso, ɛnnɛ mereyi wo afiri nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a ɛgu wo nsa no mu. Sɛ wopɛ a, ma yɛnkɔ Babilonia na mɛhwɛ wo so, nanso sɛ wompɛ deɛ a ɛmma. Hwɛ ɔman no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim no, kɔ baabiara a wopɛ.”
5 Wabula Yeremiya nga tannaba kukyuka kugenda, Nebuzaladaani n’ayongerako nti, “Ddayo eri Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu mutabani wa Safani, kabaka w’e Babulooni gw’afudde Gavana w’ebibuga bya Yuda, obeere naye mu bantu, oba genda yonna gy’osiima okubeera.” Awo omuduumizi w’abambowa n’amuwa ebyokulya n’ekirabo n’amuleka.
Na ansa na Yeremia bɛdane ne ho akɔ no, Nebusaradan ka kaa ho sɛ, “Sane kɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia a, ɔyɛ Safan nana, a Babiloniahene apa no sɛ ɔnhwɛ Yuda nkuro so no nkyɛn na wo ne no nkɔtena wɔ nnipa no mu, anaasɛ kɔ baabi foforɔ biara a wopɛ.” Na ɔsahene no maa Yeremia aduane ne akyɛdeɛ, na ɔmaa no kɔeɛ.
6 Awo Yeremiya n’agenda ewa Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu e Mizupa n’abeera naye n’abantu abaaliyo abaali balekeddwa mu nsi eyo.
Enti, Yeremia kɔɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa, na ɔne no tenaa nnipa a wɔkaa wɔ asase no so no mu.
7 Awo abakulu b’eggye lya Yuda bonna n’abasajja baabwe abaali bakyali mu byalo ne bawulira nti, Kabaka w’e Babulooni alonze Gedaliya omwana wa Akikamu okuba Gavana w’ensi era ng’amuwadde obuvunaanyizibwa bw’abantu bonna, abasajja, n’abakazi, n’abaana, n’abaali basembayo obwavu mu nsi abataatwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse e Babulooni.
Ɛberɛ a asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no nyinaa ne wɔn mmarima a wɔda so wɔ wiram no tee sɛ, Babiloniahene ayɛ Ahikam babarima Gedalia amrado wɔ asase no so, na ɔde mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra a wɔyɛ ahiafoɔ wɔ asase no so, na wɔamfa wɔn ankɔ nnommumfa mu wɔ Babilonia ahyɛ ne nsa no,
8 Awo Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, ne Yokanaani ne Yonasaani batabani ba Kaleya, ne Seraya mutabani wa Tanukumesi, ne batabani ba Efayi Omunetofa, ne Yezaniya omwana w’omu Maakasi, ne bagenda n’abasajja baabwe eri Gedaliya e Mizupa.
wɔbaa Gedalia hɔ wɔ Mispa: Netania babarima Ismael, Karea mmammarima Yohanan ne Yonatan, Tanhumet babarima Seraia, Efai a ɔfiri Netofa mmammarima, Yesania a, ɔyɛ Maakani babarima ne wɔn mmarima.
9 Awo Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu mutabani wa Safani n’abalayirira bo n’abasajja baabwe ng’ayogera nti, “Temutya kuweereza Bakaludaaya. Mubeere mu nsi, muweereze kabaka w’e Babulooni munaaba bulungi.
Na Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nana no kaa ntam de hyɛɛ wɔn ne wɔn mmarima den sɛ, “Monnsuro sɛ mobɛsom Babiloniafoɔ. Montena asase no so na monsom Babiloniahene, na ɛbɛsi mo yie.
10 Nze kennyini nzija kusigala e Mizupa okubakiikirira eri Abakaludaaya abajja gye tuli, naye mmwe mukungule emizabbibu, n’ebibala eby’omu kyeya, mukuŋŋaanye n’omuzigo mubiteeke mu materekero gammwe, mubeere mu bibuga bye mufuga.”
Me deɛ, mɛtena Mispa, na masi mo anan mu wɔ Babiloniafoɔ a wɔbɛba abɛhyia yɛn no mu, na mo deɛ, monkɔ boaboa nsã, ahuhuro berɛ mu nnuaba ne ngo ano ngu adekora nkuruwa mu wɔ twaberɛ mu, na montenatena nkuro a moafa no so.”
11 Awo Abayudaaya bonna mu Mowaabu, ne Amoni, ne Edomu n’ensi endala zonna bwe baawulira nti, Kabaka w’e Babulooni yali aleseeyo abantu mu Yuda era nga ataddewo Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani okuba Gavana waabwe,
Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ Moab, Amon, Edom ne aman ahodoɔ a aka no, tee sɛ Babiloniahene agya nkaeɛfoɔ bi wɔ Yuda na wayi Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nana sɛ amrado wɔ wɔn so no,
12 bonna ne bakomawo mu nsi ya Yuda eri Gedaliya e Mizupa, ne bava mu nsi zonna gye baali basaasaanidde. Ne bakungula ebirime mu bungi, emizabbibu n’ebibala eby’omu kyeya.
wɔn nyinaa sane baa Yuda asase so firi aman a wɔbɔɔ wɔn peteeɛ no so, kɔɔ Gedalia hɔ wɔ Mispa. Na wɔboaboaa nsã ne ahuhuro nnuaba bebree ano wɔ twaberɛ mu.
13 Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abakulu bonna ab’ebibinja bya magye abaali mu byalo ne bajja eri Gedaliya e Mizupa.
Na Karea babarima Yohanan ne akodɔm ntuanofoɔ a wɔda so wɔ wiram no baa Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa
14 Ne bamugamba nti, “Tomanyi nga Baalisi kabaka w’abaana ba Amoni atumye Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya okukutta?” Naye Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu teyakikkiriza.
na wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wonnim sɛ, Amonhene Baalis asoma Netania babarima Ismael sɛ, ɔmmɛkum wo anaa?” Nanso, Ahikam babarima Gedalia annye wɔn anni.
15 Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’ayogera ne Gedaliya e Mizupa kyama ng’agamba nti, “Ka ŋŋende nkwegayiridde nzite Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, so tewaliba muntu alikimanya. Lwaki akutta, Abayudaaya bonna abakuŋŋaanidde gy’oli basaasaane, ekitundu kya Yuda ekifisseewo nakyo kizikirire?”
Na Karea babarima Yohanan ka kyerɛɛ Gedalia wɔ kɔkoam wɔ Mispa sɛ, “Ma menkɔkum Netania babarima Ismael, na obiara rente. Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkum wo na ɔma Yudafoɔ a wɔatwa wo ho ahyia no bɔ hwete, na Yudafoɔ nkaeɛfoɔ no yera?”
16 Naye Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu n’agamba Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya nti, “Tokola kintu bwe kityo! Ky’oyogera ku Isimayiri si kituufu.”
Nanso, Ahikam babarima Gedalia ka kyerɛɛ Karea babarima Yohanan sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ saa adeɛ yi! Deɛ woka fa Ismael ho no nyɛ nokorɛ.”
