UJeremiya 25
1 Ilizwi lafika kuJeremiya mayelana labantu bonke bakoJuda ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, okwakungumnyaka wokuqala kaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.
Asɛm a ɛfa Yudafo nyinaa ho baa Yeremia nkyɛn wɔ Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim adedi afe a ɛto so anan a ɛyɛ Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar adedi afe a edi kan no mu.
2 Ngakho uJeremiya umphrofethi wathi kubo bonke abantu bakoJuda lakubo bonke abahlala eJerusalema:
Enti odiyifo Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Yudafo ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem nyinaa se,
3 Okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu, kusukela ngomnyaka wetshumi lantathu kaJosiya indodana ka-Amoni inkosi yakoJuda kuze kube yilolusuku, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi njalo ngalikhuluma kini njalonjalo, kodwa kalilalelanga.
Mfe aduonu abiɛsa ni, efi Yudahene Amon babarima Yosia adedi afe a ɛto so dumiɛnsa besi nnɛ, Awurade asɛm aba me so na makasa akyerɛ mo mpɛn bebree, nanso muntiei ɛ.
4 Lanxa uThixo wathumela zonke izinceku zakhe abaphrofethi kini njalonjalo, kalilalelanga njalo kalinakanga.
Mpo Awurade asoma nʼasomfo a wɔyɛ nʼadiyifo aba mo nkyɛn mpɛn bebree, na muntiee wɔn, na monyɛɛ aso mmaa wɔn ɛ.
5 Bathi, “Phendukani khathesi, omunye lomunye wenu, ezindleleni zenu ezimbi lasezenzweni zenu ezimbi, lihlale elizweni uThixo alinika lona kanye labokhokho benu kuze kube nininini.
Wɔkae se, “Mo mu biara mfi nʼakwan bɔne ne ne nneyɛe bɔne ho, na mubetumi atena asase a Awurade de maa mo ne mo agyanom no so afebɔɔ.
6 Lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukuba libasebenzele njalo libakhonze; lingangithukuthelisi ngalokho okwenziwa yizandla zenu. Lapho-ke angiyikulehlisela okubi.”
Munni anyame foforo akyi nkɔsom wɔn, nsɔre wɔn; mommfa nea mode mo nsa ayɛ no nhyɛ me abufuw. Afei merenhaw mo.”
7 “Kodwa kalingilalelanga,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo lingithukuthelisile ngokwenziwa ngezandla zenu, lazehlisela okubi.”
“Nanso moantie me,” Awurade na ose, “na mode nea mode mo nsa ayɛ ahyɛ me abufuw, na mode ɔhaw aba mo so.”
8 Ngakho uThixo uSomandla uthi: “Ngenxa yokuthi kalilalelanga amazwi ami,
Afei nea Asafo Awurade se ni: “Esiane sɛ moantie me nsɛm no nti,
9 ngizabiza bonke abantu basenyakatho lenceku yami uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngizabaletha ukuba bamelane lelizwe leli labahlala kulo kanye lezizwe zonke eziseduze lalo. Ngizababhubhisa ngokupheleleyo ngibenze babe yinto eyesabekayo leyokuklolodelwa, lencithakalo yanini lanini.
mɛfrɛ atifi fam nnipa nyinaa ne mʼakoa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar,” Awurade na ose, “na mede wɔn abɛko atia saa asase yi ne sofo, ne amanaman a wɔatwa ho ahyia nyinaa. Mɛsɛe wɔn pasaa na mayɛ wɔn ahodwiriwde ne fɛwdi, ne amamfo afebɔɔ.
10 Ngizasusa phakathi kwabo imisindo yokuthokoza lokuthaba, lelizwi lomlobokazi lelomyeni, lomsindo wamatshe okuchola kanye lokukhanya kwesibane.
Meyi ahosan ne anigye nnyigyei, ayeforokunu ne ayeforo nne, awiyammo nnyigyei ne kanea hann afi wɔn mu.
11 Ilizwe leli lonke lizakuba yinkangala ephundlekileyo, lezizwe lezi zizasebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
Ɔman mu no nyinaa bɛdan asase wosee, na saa amanaman yi bɛsom Babiloniahene mfirihyia aduɔson.
12 Kodwa lapho iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa isiphelile, ngizayijezisa inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lesizwe sayo, ilizwe lamaKhaladiya, ngenxa yobubi babo,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngizalenza lichitheke kokuphela.
“Na mfirihyia aduɔson awiei no, mɛtwe Babiloniahene ne ne man, Babiloniafo asase aso wɔ wɔn amumɔyɛ ho, mɛdan no amamfo afebɔɔ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
13 Ngizakwehlisela phezu kwelizwe lelo zonke izinto engazitshoyo ngalo, konke okulotshwe encwadini le okwaphrofethwa nguJeremiya ezizweni zonke.
“Mɛma asotwe a mahyɛ atia asase no nyinaa aba wɔn so, nea wɔakyerɛw wɔ nhoma yi mu na Yeremia ahyɛ ho nkɔm atia aman no nyinaa no.
14 Lazo uqobo zizathunjwa yizizwe ezinengi lamakhosi amakhulu; ngizaphindisela kubo mayelana lezenzo zabo langemisebenzi yezandla zabo.”
Wɔn ankasa de, amanaman bebree ne ahempɔn de wɔn bɛyɛ nkoa; na metua wɔn nneyɛe ne wɔn nsa ano adwuma so ka.”
15 UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wathi kimi, “Yamukela esandleni sami inkezo le egcwele iwayini lolaka lwami unathise zonke izizwe engikuthuma kuzo.
Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ me: “Gye saa kuruwa yi a mʼabufuwhyew nsa ahyɛ no ma yi, na ma amanaman a mɛsoma wo wɔn nkyɛn no nyinaa nnom.
16 Zingalinatha, zizadiyazela zihlanye ngenxa yenkemba engizayithumela phakathi kwazo.”
Sɛ wɔnom a, wɔbɛtɔ ntintan na wɔabobɔ dam esiane afoa a mɛsoma akɔ wɔn so no nti.”
17 Ngakho ngayithatha inkezo esandleni sikaThixo ngazinathisa zonke izizwe ayengithume kuzo:
Ɛno nti, migyee kuruwa no fii Awurade nsam, na memaa amanaman a ɔsomaa me wɔn nkyɛn no nomee:
18 IJerusalema lamadolobho akoJuda, amakhosi akhona kanye lezikhulu, ukubenza babe yincithakalo lento eyesabekayo yokuklolodelwa lokuqalekiswa, njengoba benjalo lamhla;

26 lawo amakhosi asenyakatho, eduze lakhatshana, elandelana, yonke imibuso esemhlabeni. Emva kwabo bonke, inkosi yaseSheshaki layo izalinatha.
ne ahemfo a wɔwɔ atifi fam nyinaa, wɔn a wɔbɛn ne wɔn a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri, ne wɔn mu biara, asase so ahenni ahorow. Na wɔn nyinaa akyi no Sesakhene nso bɛnom bi.
27 “Lapho-ke batshele uthi, ‘UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Nathani, lidakwe lihlanze, njalo liwe lingavuki futhi ngenxa yenkemba engizayithumela phakathi kwenu.’
“Afei ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Monnom, mommobow na momfefe, na mohwehwe ase a monnsɔre bio, esiane afoa a mɛsoma aba mo so no nti.’
28 Kodwa bangala ukwamukela inkezo esandleni sakho ukuba banathe, batshele uthi, ‘UThixo uSomandla uthi: Kumele liyinathe!
Na sɛ wɔampɛ sɛ wogye wo nsam kuruwa no nom a, ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: Ɛsɛ sɛ monom!
29 Khangelani, sengiqalisile ukuletha umonakalo edolobheni elileBizo lami, njalo lina lizaphutha impela ukujeziswa na? Kaliyikuphutha ukujeziswa ngoba ngizakwehlisela inkemba phezu kwabo bonke abahlala emhlabeni, kutsho uThixo uSomandla.’
Monhwɛ, merebefi ase de amanehunu aba kuropɔn a me Din da so no so, na mobɛfa mo ho adi a wɔrentwe mo aso ana? Wɔbɛtwe mo aso, efisɛ merefrɛ afoa aba wɔn a wɔtete asase no so nyinaa so, Asafo Awurade na ose.’
30 Khathesi-ke phrofetha wonke amazwi la ngabo uthi kubo: ‘UThixo uzahlokoma ephezulu; uzaduma esendaweni yakhe engcwele, njalo ahlokome kakhulu emelana lelizwe lakhe. Uzamemeza njengabahluza amavini, akhwaze ngamandla ekhwazela bonke abahlala emhlabeni.
“Afei hyɛ nsɛm yi nyinaa ho nkɔm tia wɔn, na ka kyerɛ wɔn se, “‘Awurade befi ɔsoro abobɔ mu; ɔbɛma ne nne so afi ne tenabea kronkron hɔ, na wabobɔ mu dennen atia nʼasase. Ɔbɛteɛ mu te sɛ wɔn a wotiatia bobe aba so, ɔbɛteɛ mu agu wɔn a wɔtete asase no so no so.
31 Ukuxokozela kuzazwakala emikhawulweni yomhlaba, ngoba uThixo uzazethesa amacala izizwe; uzakwahlulela abantu bonke ababi ababhubhise ngenkemba,’” kutsho uThixo.
Huuyɛ begyigye akɔ nsase ano, na Awurade bɛbɔ kwaadu, atia amanaman; obebu adesamma nyinaa atɛn na ɔde amumɔyɛfo ama afoa,’” Awurade na ose.
32 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: “Khangelani! Umonakalo uyanda usuka kwesinye isizwe usiya kwesinye; isiphepho esikhulu siyavunguza sivela emikhawulweni yomhlaba.”
Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: “Monhwɛ! Amanehunu retrɛtrɛw fi ɔman so kɔ ɔman foforo so; ahum kɛse bi rema ne ho so afi nsase ano.”
33 Ngalesosikhathi labo ababulewe nguThixo bazakuba sezindaweni zonke kusukela komunye kusiya komunye umkhawulo womhlaba. Kabayikukhalelwa loba babuthwe kumbe bangcwatshwe, kodwa bazakuba njengezibi emhlabathini.
Saa bere no, wɔn a Awurade akunkum wɔn no bɛdeda baabiara, fi asase ano kosi ano nohɔ. Wɔrensu wɔn na wɔremmoaboa wɔn ano na wɔrensie wɔn, na wɔbɛyɛ sɛ sumina a egugu fam.
34 Khalani lilile lina belusi; giqikani ethulini lina bakhokheli bomhlambi. Ngoba isikhathi sokubulawa kwenu sesifikile; lizakuwa liphohlozeke njengokubunjiweyo.
Munsu na muntwa adwo, mo nguanhwɛfo; mommunummunum wɔ mfutuma mu, mo nguankuw ntuanofo. Mo kum bere no adu; mobɛhwehwe ase sɛ adwennini a wɔadodɔ.
35 Abelusi laba kabayikuba lalapho abangabalekela khona, abakhokheli bomhlambi bengelandawo yokubalekela kuyo.
Nguanhwɛfo no rennya baabiara nguan nkɔ, na nguankuw no ntuanofo no rennya kwan nguan.
36 Zwanini ukukhala kwabelusi, ukulila kwabakhokheli bomhlambi, ngoba uThixo uyalichitha idlelo labo.
Muntie nguanhwɛfo no su, ne nguankuw no ntuanofo agyaadwotwa, efisɛ Awurade resɛe wɔn mmoa adidibea.
37 Lamadlelo alokuthula azatshabalaliswa ngenxa yolaka olwesabekayo lukaThixo.
Sare nsase a asomdwoe wɔ so no bɛda mpan esiane Awurade abufuwhyew no nti.
38 Njengesilwane uzaphuma esikhundleni sakhe, njalo ilizwe labo lizakuba yinkangala ngenxa yenkemba yomncindezeli langenxa yolaka lukaThixo olwesabekayo.
Obefi ne tu mu sɛ gyata, na wɔn asase bɛda mpan esiane nnomumfafo no afoa ne Awurade abufuwhyew no nti.
