UJeremiya 26
1 Ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, kwafika ilizwi leli livela kuThixo lisithi,
Yehoiakim a ɔyɛ Yudahene Yosia babarima adedi mfiase mfe no, saa asɛm yi fi Awurade nkyɛn bae:
2 “UThixo uthi: Mana egumeni lendlu kaThixo ukhulume kubo bonke abantu basemadolobheni akoJuda abeza endlini kaThixo ukuba bakhonze. Batshele konke engakulaya khona, kungabi lelizwi olitshiyayo.
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Gyina Awurade fi mu adiwo hɔ, na ka kyerɛ nnipa a wofi Yuda nkurow mu bɛsom wɔ Awurade fi mu nyinaa. Ka nea mehyɛ wo no nyinaa kyerɛ wɔn; nyi asɛm biara mfi mu.
3 Mhlawumbe bazalalela omunye lomunye wabo aphenduke endleleni yakhe embi. Lapho-ke ngizadeda ngingabehliseli umonakalo ebengizawenza kubo ngenxa yobubi ababenzileyo.
Ebia wobetie, na wɔn mu biara asan afi nʼakwammɔne so. Sɛ ɛba saa a, mɛtwɛn, na meremfa amanehunu a wɔn bɔne nti mepɛɛ sɛ mede ba wɔn so no mma bio.
4 Tshono kubo uthi, ‘UThixo uthi: Nxa lingangilaleli lilandele umthetho wami engalibekela wona,
Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Nea Awurade se ni: Sɛ moantie me, na moanni me mmara a mahyɛ mo no so,
5 njalo nxa lingalaleli amazwi ezinceku zami abaphrofethi, engabathuma kini njalonjalo (lanxa lingalalelanga),
na sɛ moantie nsɛm a mʼasomfo adiyifo a mesoma wɔn mo nkyɛn bere biara no ka kyerɛ mo no a, (mpo munntiee wɔn),
6 ngizakwenza indlu le ibe njengeShilo ledolobho leli libe yinto yokuqalekiswa phakathi kwezizwe zonke zomhlaba.’”
ɛno de, mɛyɛ ofi yi sɛ Silo, na kuropɔn yi ayɛ nnome wɔ asase so aman nyinaa mu.’”
7 Abaphristi, labaphrofethi kanye labantu bonke bamuzwa uJeremiya ekhuluma amazwi la endlini kaThixo.
Asɔfo, adiyifo ne nnipa no nyinaa tee sɛ Yeremia reka saa nsɛm yi, wɔ Awurade fi hɔ.
8 Kodwa kwathi uJeremiya eqeda nje ukubatshela bonke abantu konke uThixo ayemlaye ukuba akutsho, abaphristi, labaphrofethi kanye labantu bonke bamphuthuma bathi kuye, “Kumele ufe!
Na Yeremia wiee nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se ɔnka nkyerɛ nnipa no nyinaa no ka no, asɔfo no, adiyifo ne nnipa no nyinaa tow hyɛɛ ne so kae se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wuwu!
9 Kungani uphrofetha ngebizo likaThixo usithi indlu le izakuba njengeShilo ledolobho leli lizachitheka abantu basuke kulo?” Abantu bonke bambuthanela uJeremiya endlini kaThixo.
Adɛn na wohyɛ nkɔm wɔ Awurade din mu se, ofi yi bɛyɛ sɛ Silo na kuropɔn yi bɛda mpan a obiara ntena mu ana?” Na nnipa no nyinaa betwaa Yeremia ho hyiaa wɔ Awurade fi hɔ.
10 Kwathi izikhulu zakoJuda sezizwe ngalezizinto, zaya endlini kaThixo zisuka esigodlweni senkosi zahlala ezindaweni zazo entubeni yeSango elitsha lendlu kaThixo.
Bere a Yuda adwumayɛfo tee saa nsɛm yi no, wofii ahemfi hɔ foro kɔɔ Awurade fi kɔtenaa ofi no Pon Foforo no ano.
11 Abaphristi, labaphrofethi basebesithi ezikhulwini lasebantwini bonke, “Umuntu lo kumele agwetshelwe ukufa ngoba uphrofetha kubi ngedolobho leli. Likuzwile ngezindlebe zenu!”
Na asɔfo no ne adiyifo no ka kyerɛɛ adwumayɛfo no ne nnipa no nyinaa se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wobu saa ɔbarima yi kumfɔ, efisɛ wahyɛ nkɔm atia kuropɔn yi. Moate wɔ mo asom!”
12 UJeremiya wasesithi ezikhulwini zonke lasebantwini bonke: “UThixo ungithumile ukuba ngiphrofethe kubi ngendlu le langedolobho leli zonke izinto elizizwileyo.
Na Yeremia kasa yii ne ho ano wɔ adwumayɛfo ne nnipa no nyinaa anim se, “Awurade somaa me se, memmɛhyɛ nkɔm ntia ofi yi ne kuropɔn yi sɛnea moate no nyinaa.
13 Ngakho lungisani izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu lilalele uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Ngalokho uThixo uzadeda angabe esalehlisela umonakalo abememezele ukuwehlisela kini.
Na afei monteɛteɛ mo akwan ne mo nneyɛe, na monyɛ osetie mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn. Na Awurade bɛtwɛn, na ɔremfa amanehunu a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔde ba mo so no mma bio.
14 Kodwa mina, ngisezandleni zenu; yenzani kimi loba kuyini lokho elikubona kukuhle, kufanele.
Me de, mewɔ mo nsam; mubetumi ayɛ me sɛnea eye na ɛteɛ wɔ mo ani so.
15 Kodwa likwazi, impela ukuthi lingangibulala, lizakwehlisela phezu kwenu icala legazi elimsulwa laphezu kwedolobho leli kanye laphezu kwabantu abahlala kulo, ngoba ngeqiniso uThixo ungithumile kini ukuba ngikhulume wonke amazwi la lani lisizwa.”
Nanso monkae se, sɛ mukum me a, moahwie mogya a edi bem agu, na so afɔdi bɛba mo so, kuropɔn yi so ne wɔn a wɔtete mu no so; na nokware Awurade na wasoma me sɛ memmɛka nsɛm yi nyinaa ngu mo asom.”
16 Izikhulu labantu bonke basebesithi kubaphristi lakubaphrofethi, “Umuntu lo akumelanga abulawe! Ukhulume kithi ngebizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.”
Na adwumayɛfo no ne nnipa no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ asɔfo no ne adiyifo no se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wobu saa ɔbarima yi kumfɔ! Wakasa akyerɛ yɛn wɔ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn din mu.”
17 Abanye babadala baselizweni basondela phambili bakhuluma kulolonke ibandla labantu bathi,
Na asase no so mpanyimfo no mu bi sɔree, na wɔka kyerɛɛ bagua no nyinaa se,
18 “UMikha waseMoreshethi waphrofitha ensukwini zikaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda. Wabatshela bonke abantu bakoJuda wathi, ‘UThixo uSomandla uthi: IZiyoni izalinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema izakuba yinqwaba yemfucuza, intaba yethempeli ibe yindunduma eyande izixukwana.’
“Mika a ofi Moreset hyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ Yudahene Hesekia bere so ka kyerɛɛ Yudafo nyinaa se, ‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: “‘Wobefuntum Sion te sɛ afuw. Na Yerusalem bɛyɛ mmubui na asɔredan no koko bɛyɛ sɛ nkɔ a nkyɛkyerɛ afuw wɔ so.’
19 Kanje uHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda loba omunye umuntu nje wakoJuda wambulala na? UHezekhiya kamesabanga yini uThixo wacela umusa kuye? UThixo kadedanga wayekela ukubehlisela umonakalo ayewumemezele kubo na? Sekuseduze ukuthi sizehlisele umonakalo owesabekayo phezu kwethu!”
Na Yudahene Hesekia anaa Yudani bi kum no ana? Hesekia ansuro Awurade ansrɛ ne hɔ adom? Na ɛno amma Awurade antwɛn sɛ obeyi amanehunu a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔde ba wɔn so no amfi wɔn so ana? Yɛreyɛ de amanehunu kɛse aba yɛn ankasa so!”
20 (U-Uriya indodana kaShemaya owaseKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi ungomunye umuntu owaphrofetha ngebizo likaThixo: waphrofitha izinto ezinjalo ngedolobho leli langelizwe leli njengoJeremiya.
(Semaia babarima Uria a, ofi Kiriat-Yearim no nso yɛ ɔbarima foforo a ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ Awurade din mu; ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm koro yi ara tiaa saa kuropɔn yi ne saa asase yi, sɛnea Yeremia yɛe no.
21 Kwathi inkosi uJehoyakhimi lezinduna zakhe kanye lezikhulu zakhe besizwa amazwi akhe, bafuna ukumbulala. Kodwa u-Uriya wakuzwa lokho wasebalekela eGibhithe esesaba.
Bere a ɔhene Yehoiakim ne ne mpanyimfo ne nʼadwumayɛfo nyinaa tee ne nsɛm no, ɔhene no pɛɛ sɛ okum no, nanso Uria tee no, ɔde ehu guan kɔɔ Misraim.
22 UJehoyakhimi inkosi, wathuma u-Elinathani indodana ka-Akhibhori lamanye amadoda eGibhithe.
Ɔhene Yehoiakim somaa Akbor babarima Elnatan ne mmarima bi kɔɔ Misraim.
23 Bamthatha u-Uriya eGibhithe bamusa kuJehoyakhimi inkosi wambulala ngenkemba isidumbu sakhe saphoselwa endaweni yokungcwabela abantukazana.)
Wɔde Uria fii Misraim bae, na wɔde no kɔmaa ɔhene Yehoiakim. Ɔma wɔde afoa kum no na wɔtow ne funu kyenee kwasafo asiei.)
24 Phezu kwalokho, u-Ahikhami indodana kaShafani wasekela uJeremiya, ngakho kanikezwanga ebantwini ukuba bambulale.
Afei nso, na Safan babarima Ahikam gyina Yeremia akyi, enti wɔamfa no amma dɔm no sɛ wonkum no.
