UJeremiya 27
1 Ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaZedekhiya indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, ilizwi leli lafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lisithi:
Yudahene Yosia babarima Sedekia adedi mfiase no, asɛm yi fi Awurade hɔ baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,
2 UThixo wathi kimi, “Yenza ijogwe ngemichilo langemigoqo uligaxe entanyeni yakho.
Sɛɛ na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me: “Fa mmeamdua ne nkyehama yɛ konnua sɛn wo kɔn mu.
3 Ubusuthumela ilizwi enkosini yase-Edomi, leyaseMowabi, leyase-Amoni, eyeThire kanye leyaseSidoni ngezithunywa ezize eJerusalema kuZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda.
Fa nkra ma abɔfo a wɔaba Yudahene Sedekia nkyɛn wɔ Yerusalem na wɔmfa nkɔma ahemfo a wɔwɔ Edom, Moab, Amon, Tiro ne Sidon.
4 Zinike ilizwi eliya emakhosini azo uthi, ‘UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Tshelani amakhosi enu lokhu ukuthi:
Fa nkra kɔma wɔn wuranom se: Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se, ‘Ka eyi kyerɛ wo wuranom se:
5 Ngamandla ami amakhulu langengalo yami eyeluliweyo ngenza umhlaba labantu bawo kanye lezinyamazana ezikuwo, njalo ngiwunika loba ngubani ngokuthanda kwami.
Mede me tumi kɛse ne me basa a mateɛ mu yɛɛ asase ne so nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ so, na mede ma obiara a mepɛ.
6 Khathesi wonke amazwe enu ngizawanikela encekwini yami uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, ngizakwenza lezinyamazana zeganga zibe ngaphansi kwakhe.
Afei mede mo aman nyinaa bɛhyɛ mʼakoa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar nsa, na mede wuram mmoa mpo bɛhyɛ nʼase.
7 Izizwe zonke zizamsebenzela yena lamadodana akhe kanye labazukulu bakhe kuze kufike isikhathi selizwe lakhe lapho azanqotshwa khona yizizwe ezinengi lamakhosi amakhulu.
Amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no ne ne babarima ne ne nenabarima kosi sɛ ne bere betwa mu; na afei aman bebree ne ahemfo akɛseakɛse bedi ne so.
8 Kodwa, loba yisiphi isizwe loba umbuso ongasebenzeli uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni loba ukhothamisele intamo yawo ejogeni lakhe, ngizasijezisa lesosizwe ngenkemba, ngendlala langesifo, ngize ngiwuchithe ngesandla sakhe, kutsho uThixo.
“‘Nanso sɛ ɔman bi anaa ahenni bi rensom Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar anaa wɔremfa wɔn kɔn nhyɛ ne konnua ase a, mede afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm bɛtwe saa ɔman no aso, kosi sɛ mede ne nsa bɛsɛe no, Awurade na ose.
9 Ngakho lingabalaleli abaphrofethi benu, izanuse zenu, abachazi bamaphupho, izangoma zenu loba izinyanga zenu ezithi kini, kaliyikuyisebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.’
Ɛno nti munntie mo adiyifo, mo nkɔmhyɛfo, mo adae asekyerɛfo, mo samanfrɛfo anaa mo ntafowayifo a wɔka kyerɛ mo se, “Morensom Babiloniahene.”
10 Baphrofetha amanga kini azasebenza ukulisusa nje kuphela emazweni enu; ngizalixotsha njalo lizabhubha.
Wɔhyɛ mo atoro nkɔm a ɛbɛma wɔayi mo afi mo asase so akɔ akyirikyiri nko ara; mɛpam mo ama mo ase ayera.
11 Kodwa isizwe esizabeka intamo yaso ngaphansi kwejogwe lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni siyisebenzele, lesosizwe ngizasiyekela siselizweni laso ukuba sililime njalo sihlale kulo, kutsho uThixo.”
Nanso sɛ ɔman biara de ne kɔn bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene konnua no ase na wasom no a, mɛma saa ɔman no aka ɔno ara asase so na wadɔw so atena so, Awurade, na ose.’”
12 UZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda ngamnika ilizwi elinjalo; Ngathi, “Beka intamo yakho ngaphansi kwejogwe lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni; isebenzele yona kanye labantu bayo, uzaphila.
Mede saa nkra koro no ara kɔmaa Yudahene Sedekia se, “Momfa mo kɔn nhyɛ Babiloniahene konnua ase na monsom ɔno ne ne nkurɔfo na mubenya nkwa.
13 Kungani wena labantu bakho lizabulawa ngenkemba, indlala lesifo uThixo ayesongele ngakho isizwe esingayikusebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni na?
Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wo nkurɔfo wuwu wɔ afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano, sɛnea Awurade de ahunahuna ɔman biara a ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔsom Babiloniahene no?
14 Lingawalaleli amazwi abaphrofethi abathi kini, ‘Kaliyikuyisebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni,’ ngoba baphrofetha amanga kini.
Munntie adiyifo no a wɔka kyerɛ mo se, ‘Morensom Babiloniahene,’ efisɛ wɔhyɛ mo atoro nkɔm.
15 ‘Angibathumanga,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Baphrofetha amanga ngebizo lami. Ngakho ngizalixotsha, libhubhe lina kanye labaphrofethi abaphrofetha kini.’”
‘Mensomaa wɔn’ Awurade na ose. ‘Wɔhyɛ atoro nkɔm wɔ me din mu. Enti mɛpam mo na moayera, mo ne adiyifo a wɔhyɛ mo nkɔm no.’”
16 Ngasengisithi kubaphristi lakubo bonke abantu laba, “UThixo uthi: Lingabalaleli abaphrofethi abathi, ‘Masinyane nje izitsha zasendlini kaThixo zizabuyiswa zivela eBhabhiloni.’ Baphrofetha amanga kini.
Na meka kyerɛɛ asɔfo no ne saa nkurɔfo yi nyinaa se, “Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Munntie adiyifo no a wɔhyɛ mo nkɔm se, ‘Ɛrenkyɛ koraa wɔde Awurade fi nneɛma no befi Babilonia aba.’ Wɔhyɛ atoro nkɔm kyerɛ mo.
17 Lingabalaleli. Isebenzeleni inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, lizaphila. Kungani idolobho leli kumele libe lunxiwa na?
Munntie wɔn. Monsom Babiloniahene na mubenya nkwa. Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ saa kuropɔn yi sɛe?
18 Nxa bengabaphrofethi njalo belelizwi likaThixo, kabamncenge uThixo uSomandla ukuba izitsha eziseleyo endlini kaThixo lasesigodlweni senkosi yakoJuda kanye laseJerusalema zingasiwa eBhabhiloni.
Sɛ wɔyɛ adiyifo na Awurade asɛm wɔ wɔn mu a, ma wɔn nkotow nsrɛ Asafo Awurade na nneɛma a wɔde siesie dan mu a aka wɔ Awurade fi ne Yudahene ahemfi ne Yerusalem no, wɔamfa ankɔ Babilonia.
19 Ngoba lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla mayelana lensika, loLwandle, lokokumisa okuphakamisekayo kanye lezinye izitsha eziseleyo kulelidolobho,
Na sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade ka fa kɔbere mfrafrae afadum, po, nnyinaso a wotumi pia ne nneɛma a wɔde siesie dan mu no a aka wɔ kuropɔn yi mu no ho.
20 uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni engahambanga layo ekuthatheni kwakhe uJehoyakhini indodana kaJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda emsusa eJerusalema emusa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni, kanye lezikhulu zonke zakoJuda lezeJerusalema,
Nea Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar amfa ankɔ bere a ɔbɛfaa Yudahene Yehoiakim babarima Yehoiakyin ne Yuda ne Yerusalem mmapɔmma fii Yerusalem kɔɔ nkoasom mu wɔ Babilonia no.
21 yebo, lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, mayelana lezinto eziseleyo endlini kaThixo lasesigodlweni senkosi yakoJuda kanye laseJerusalema ukuthi:
Yiw, nea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka fa nneɛma a aka wɔ Awurade fi, Yudahene ahemfi ne Yerusalem no ho no ni:
22 ‘Zizasiwa eBhabhiloni lapho ezizakuba khona kuze kufike usuku engizazilanda ngalo,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Lapho-ke ngizazibuyisela emuva kule indawo.’”
‘Wɔbɛfa akɔ Babilonia, na hɔ na ɛbɛka kosi da a mɛba abɛfa,’ Awurade na ose. ‘Afei mede nneɛma no bɛsan aba bio abesisi wɔn sibea wɔ ha.’”
