1 Ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda ilizwi leli lafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo, lisithi:
Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim afe a ɛto so anan mu, saa asɛm yi fi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ:
2 “Thatha umqulu ulobe kuwo wonke amazwi engawatsho kuwe ngo-Israyeli, uJuda lezinye zonke izizwe kusukela ngiqalisa ukukhuluma kuwe ekubuseni kukaJosiya kuze kube khathesi.
“Fa nhoma mmobɔwee, na kyerɛw nsɛm a maka akyerɛ wo fa Israel, Yuda ne aman a aka no ho nyinaa, efi bere a mifii ase kasa kyerɛɛ wo wɔ Yosia adedi bere so de besi nnɛ no gu so.
3 Mhlawumbe lapho abantu bakoJuda besizwa ngawo wonke umonakalo engiceba ukuwehlisela phezu kwabo, omunye lomunye wabo uzaphenduka ezindleleni zakhe ezimbi; kulapho-ke ngizabathethelela ububi babo lezono zabo.”
Ebia, sɛ Yudafo te amanehunu biara a mayɛ mʼadwene sɛ mede bɛba wɔn so no a, wɔn mu biara bɛdan afi nʼamumɔyɛ ho na afei mede wɔn amumɔyɛ ne wɔn bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn.”
4 Ngakho uJeremiya wabiza uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya. Kwathi uJeremiya ewatsho wonke amazwi ayekhulunywe nguThixo, uBharukhi ewaloba emqulwini.
Enti Yeremia frɛɛ Neria babarima Baruk, na bere a ɔreka nsɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ no nyinaa no, Baruk kyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee no mu.
5 UJeremiya wasesithi kuBharukhi, “Mina ngivalelwe; ngingeke ngiye ethempelini likaThixo.
Afei Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Baruk se, “Meda dua mu; merentumi nkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
6 Ngakho yana endlini kaThixo ngosuku lokuzila ukudla ubalele abantu amazwi kaThixo asemqulwini owawaloba ngikutshela. Abalele bonke abantu bakoJuda abangena bevela emadolobheni akibo.
Enti kɔ Awurade fi mmuadadi da bi na kenkan nsɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn a meka ma wokyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee no so no kyerɛ nnipa no. Kenkan kyerɛ Yudafo a wofi wɔn nkurow so aba no.
7 Engxenye bazaletha isicelo sabo phambi kukaThixo, omunye lomunye aphenduke ezindleleni zakhe ezimbi, ngoba intukuthelo lolaka okumenyezelwe kulababantu nguThixo kukhulu.”
Ebia wɔde wɔn nkotosrɛ bɛba Awurade anim na wɔn mu biara adan afi nʼamumɔyɛ akwan no so, efisɛ abufuw ne abufuwhyew nsɛm a Awurade aka atia saa nnipa yi so.”
8 UBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wenza konke ayekutshelwe nguJeremiya umphrofethi ukuba akwenze; ethempelini likaThixo wabala amazwi kaThixo emqulwini.
Neria babarima Baruk yɛɛ biribiara a odiyifo Yeremia kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, ɔkenkan Awurade nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu wɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu.
9 Ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye yomnyaka wesihlanu kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, kwamenyezelwa isikhathi sokuzila ukudla phambi kukaThixo ebantwini bonke baseJerusalema lakulaba ababeze bevela emadolobheni akoJuda.
Ɔsram a ɛto so akron wɔ Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim adedi afe a ɛto so anum so no, wɔpaee Awurade anim mmuadadi maa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa ne wɔn a wofi Yuda nkurow so aba no.
10 Esendlini kaGemariya indodana kaShafani umabhalani, eyayisegumeni langaphezulu ekungeneni kweSango eLitsha lethempeli, uBharukhi wawabalela abantu bonke ethempelini likaThixo amazwi kaJeremiya asemqulwini.
Baruk kenkan Yeremia nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu kyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu nyinaa; fii Safan babarima Gemaria a ɔyɛ ɔkyerɛwfo no pia a ɛwɔ asɔredan no atifi adiwo na ɛbɛn Ɔpon Foforo no mu.
11 Kwathi uMikhaya indodana kaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, esezwe wonke amazwi kaThixo ayesemqulwini,
Bere a Safan babarima Gemaria babarima Mikaia tee Awurade nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu no,
12 waya phansi endlini kamabhalani esigodlweni, lapho izikhulu zonke ezazihlezi khona: u-Elishama umabhalani, uDelaya indodana kaShemaya, u-Elinathani indodana ka-Akhibhori, uGemariya indodana kaShafani, uZedekhiya indodana kaHananiya kanye lezinye zonke izikhulu.
ɔkɔɔ ɔkyerɛwfo no dan a ɛwɔ ahemfi hɔ no mu, faako a na adwumayɛfo no nyinaa: ɔkyerɛwfo Elisama, Semaia babarima Delaia, Akbor babarima Elnatan, Safan babarima Gemaria, Hanania babarima Sedekia ne adwumayɛfo a wɔaka no nyinaa tete.
13 Emva kokuba uMikhaya esebatshele konke ayezwe uBharukhi ekubalela abantu emqulwini,
Mikaia kaa nsɛm a Baruk kenkan fii nhoma mmobɔwee no mu nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn no akyi no,
14 izikhulu zonke zathuma uJehudi indodana kaNethaniya, indodana kaShelemiya, indodana kaKhushi, ukuba ayekuthi kuBharukhi, “Woza lomqulu owubalele abantu.” Ngakho uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya waya kubo lomqulu ewuphethe ngesandla.
adwumayɛfo no nyinaa somaa Kusi babarima Selemia babarima Netania babarima Yehudi sɛ ɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Baruk se, “Fa nhoma mmobɔwee a wokenkan fii mu kyerɛɛ nnipa no bra, na bra.” Enti Neria babarima Baruk kɔɔ wɔn hɔ a na okura nhoma mmobɔwee no.
15 Bathi kuye, “Ake uhlale phansi usibalele wona.” Ngakho uBharukhi wababalela.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛsrɛ wo tena ase, na kenkan kyerɛ yɛn.” Enti Baruk kenkan kyerɛɛ wɔn.
16 Sebezwe wonke amazwi la bakhangelana ngokwesaba, basebesithi kuBharukhi, “Amazwi la kumele siwabike wonke enkosini.”
Wɔtee saa nsɛm yi nyinaa no, wɔde ehu hwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim na wɔka kyerɛɛ Baruk se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka saa nsɛm yi nyinaa kyerɛ ɔhene.”
17 Babuya bambuza uBharukhi bathi, “Sitshele, kwenzakale njani ukuthi ubhale konke lokhu? Kukhulunywe nguJeremiya na?”
Afei wobisaa Baruk se, “Ka kyerɛ yɛn, ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wokyerɛw eyinom nyinaa? Yeremia na ɔka ma wokyerɛw ana?”
18 UBharukhi waphendula wathi, “Ye, amazwi wonke la uwakhulume kimi, mina ngawaloba nge-inki emqulwini.”
Baruk buae se, “Yiw, ɔno na ɔkaa saa nsɛm yi nyinaa ma mede adubiri kyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee no mu.”
19 Izikhulu zasezisithi kuBharukhi, “Wena loJeremiya hambani liyecatsha. Lingatsheli muntu ukuthi lingaphi.”
Na adwumayɛfo no ka kyerɛɛ Baruk se, “Wo ne Yeremia, munkohintaw. Monnkyerɛ obiara mo akyi kwan.”
20 Sebefake umqulu endlini ka-Elishama umabhalani, baya enkosini egumeni bayibikela konke,
Wɔde nhoma mmobɔwee no kosiee ɔkyerɛwfo Elisama dan mu akyiri no, wɔkɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn wɔ nʼabangua no mu kɔkaa biribiara kyerɛɛ no.
21 inkosi yathuma uJehudi ukuba ayethatha umqulu lowo, uJehudi weza lawo ewuthethe endlini ka-Elishama umabhalani wawubalela inkosi lezikhulu zonke ezazimi phansi kwayo.
Ɔhene no somaa Yehudi se, ɔnkɔfa nhoma mmobɔwee no mmra. Yehudi kɔfa fii ɔkyerɛwfo Elisama dan mu, bɛkenkan kyerɛɛ ɔhene ne adwumayɛfo a wogyinagyina ne ho no nyinaa.
22 Kwakuyinyanga yesificamunwemunye, njalo inkosi yayihlezi ekamelweni lebusika, kulomlilo ovuthayo eziko phambi kwayo.
Na ɛyɛ ɔsram a ɛto so akron a na ɔhene no te awɔwbere dan mu reto ogya a esi nʼanim.
23 Kwakusithi uJehudi angabala izigaba ezintathu loba ezine zomqulu, inkosi iziqume ngengqamu iziphosele eziko umqulu waze watsha wonke emlilweni.
Bere biara a Yehudi bɛkenkan nhoma mmobɔwee no afaafa bɛyɛ abiɛsa anaa anan no, ɔhene no de ɔkyerɛwfo afoa, twitwa de gu ogya no mu, kosii sɛ nhoma mmobɔwee no nyinaa hyewee.
24 Inkosi lezinceku zayo zonke ezawezwayo amazwi la kabesabanga loba badabule izigqoko zabo.
Ɔhene no ne nʼasomfo a wɔtee saa nsɛm yi nyinaa no ammɔ hu, na wɔansunsuane wɔn ntade mu nso.
25 Lanxa u-Elinathani loDelaya kanye loGemariya bayincenga inkosi ukuba ingatshisi umqulu, kayibalalelanga.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Elnatan, Delaia ne Gemaria srɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ ɔnhyew nhoma mmobɔwee no, nanso wantie wɔn.
26 Esikhundleni salokho inkosi yalaya uJerameli, indodana yenkosi, loSeraya indodana ka-Aziriyeli kanye loShelemiya indodana ka-Abhideli ukuba babophe uBharukhi umbhali kanye loJeremiya umphrofethi. Kodwa uThixo wayesebafihlile.
Mmom ɔhene no hyɛɛ ne babarima Yerahmeel, Asriel babarima Seraia ne Abdeel babarima Selemia se, wɔnkɔkyere ɔkyerɛwfo Baruk ne odiyifo Yeremia mmra. Nanso na Awurade de wɔn asie.
27 Inkosi isitshise umqulu owawulamazwi ayebhalwe nguBharukhi ewatshelwa nguJeremiya, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJeremiya lisithi,
Ɔhene no hyew nhoma mmobɔwee a na nsɛm a Baruk akyerɛw afi Yeremia anum wɔ mu no akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,
28 “Thatha omunye umqulu ulobe kuwo wonke amazwi abesemqulwini wakuqala, otshiswe nguJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda.
“Fa nhoma mmobɔwee foforo, na kyerɛw nsɛm a ɛwɔ kan mmobɔwee a Yudahene Yehoiakim hyew no gu mu.
29 Umtshele uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda uthi, ‘UThixo uthi: Utshise umqulu lowana wathi, “Kungani ulobe kuwo ukuthi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni izakuza ngempela ichithe ilizwe leli, iqothule abantu lezinyamazana kulo na?”
Afei ka kyerɛ Yudahene Yehoiakim se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Wohyew nhoma mmobɔwee no kae se: “Adɛn nti na wokyerɛw wɔ mu se ɔkwan biara so, Babiloniahene bɛba abɛsɛe asase yi na watɔre so nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa ase?”
30 Ngakho mayelana loJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda, uThixo uthi: Akayikuba lomuntu ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida; isidumbu sakhe sizaphoselwa phandle sichayeke ekutshiseni kwelanga lakungqwaqwane webusuku.
Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Awurade ka fa Yudahene Yehoiakim ho: Ɔrennya obi ntena Dawid ahengua so. Wɔbɛtow ne funu akyene a, wɔrensie no, na wada owia hyew ne anadwo awɔw mu.
31 Ngizamjezisa labantwana bakhe kanye lezinceku zakhe ngenxa yobubi babo. Ngizakwehlisela phezu kwabo laphezu kwalabo abahlala eJerusalema kanye labantu bakoJuda, wonke umonakalo engawumemezela kubo, ngoba kabalalelanga.’”
Mɛtwe ɔno ne ne mma ne nʼasomfo aso wɔ wɔn amumɔyɛ nti; mede amanehunu biara a mahyɛ atia wɔn bɛba wɔn ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem ne Yudafo so, efisɛ wɔantie.’”
32 Ngakho uJeremiya wathatha omunye umqulu wawunika umbhali uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya, njalo kwathi uJeremiya emtshela uBharukhi waloba kuwo wonke amazwi omqulu owawutshiswe emlilweni nguJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda. Kwengezelelwa ngamanye amazwi amanengi ayefana lalawo.
Na Yeremia faa nhoma mmobɔwee foforo, na ɔka maa ne kyerɛwfo Baruk kyerɛwee. Ɔkaa biribiara a na ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no a ɔhene Yehoiakim hyew no no so. Na ɔde nsɛm pii kaa ho.
