UJeremiya 42
1 Zonke izikhulu zebutho, kanye loJohanani indodana kaKhareya loJezaniya indodana kaHoshayiya, labantu bonke kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu baya
Afei, asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no nyinaa a Karea babarima Yohanan ne Hosaia babarima Yesania ka ho ne nnipa no nyinaa, ɛfiri akumaa so kɔsi ɔkɛseɛ so kɔɔ
2 kuJeremiya umphrofethi bathi kuye, “Ake uzwe isicelo sethu ubakhulekele bonke laba abaseleyo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho. Ngoba njengoba lawe uzibonela khathesi, lanxa sake saba banengi khathesi kusele abalutshwana kuphela.
odiyifoɔ Yeremia nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛsrɛ wo, tie yɛn adesrɛ yi na bɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ ma saa nkaeɛfoɔ yi nyinaa. Sɛdeɛ wohunu no, kane no na yɛdɔɔso nanso afei yɛaka kakraa bi.
3 Khuleka ukuba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho asitshele lapho okumele siye khona lalokho okumele sikwenze.”
Bɔ mpaeɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn bɛkyerɛ yɛn baabi a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ ne deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ.”
4 UJeremiya umphrofethi waphendula wathi, “Ngizwile. Ngizakhuleka impela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njengoba licelile; ngizalitshela konke uThixo akutshoyo ngingalifihleli lutho.”
Yeremia buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mate mo asɛm no, na ɛkwan biara so mɛbɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ sɛdeɛ mo asrɛ no; mɛka deɛ Awurade bɛka biara akyerɛ mo na meremfa hwee nsie mo.”
5 Basebesithi kuJeremiya, “UThixo kabe ngufakazi wethu oqotho lothembekileyo nxa singenzi okuvumelana lakho konke uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akuthuma ukuba usitshele khona.
Na afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ Yeremia sɛ, “Sɛ yɛanyɛ deɛ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn soma wo sɛ ka kyerɛ yɛn no a, ma ɔnyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafoɔ ntia yɛn.
6 Lanxa kukuhle kumbe kukubi sizamlalela uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu esikuthuma kuye, ukuze kusilungele, ngoba sizamlalela uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.”
Sɛ yɛpɛ o, sɛ yɛmpɛ o, yɛbɛyɛ ɔsetie ama Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn a yɛresoma wo wɔ ne nkyɛn no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛsi yɛn yie, na yɛbɛdi Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn asɛm so.”
7 Emva kwensuku ezilitshumi ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJeremiya.
Dadu akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia hɔ.
8 Ngakho wabiza uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lezikhulu zonke zebutho ezazilaye kanye labantu bonke kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu.
Enti, ɔfrɛɛ Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ a wɔka ne ho ne nnipa no nyinaa; ɛfiri akumaa so kɔsi ɔkɛseɛ so.
9 Wathi kubo, “UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, elingithume ukuba ngiyekwethula isicelo senu kuye, uthi:
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a mosomaa me sɛ memfa mo adesrɛ nkɔto nʼanim no seɛ:
10 ‘Lingahlala kulelilizwe ngizalakha, ngingalibhidlizi, ngizalihlanyela ngingalisiphuni, ngoba ngilusizi ngomonakalo engawenza kini.
‘Sɛ motena asase yi so a, mɛsiesie mo na merensɛe mo, mɛdua mo na merentu mo ase, ɛfiri sɛ me werɛ aho wɔ amanehunu a mama aba mo so no ho.
11 Lingayesabi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, eliyesabayo khathesi. Lingayesabi, kutsho uThixo, ngoba ngilani njalo ngizalihlenga ngilikhulule ezandleni zayo.
Monnsuro Babiloniahene a seesei mosuro noɔ no. Monnsuro no, Awurade na ɔseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, me ne mo wɔ hɔ, mɛgye mo, na mayi mo afiri ne tumi ase.
12 Ngizakuba lesihawu kini ukuze layo ibe lesihawu kini ilibuyisele elizweni lakini.’
Mɛhu mo mmɔbɔ na ɔno nso ahu mo mmɔbɔ na ɔde mo asane aba mo asase so.’
13 Kodwa lina lingathi, ‘Kasiyikuhlala kulelizwe,’ ngalokho lingalaleli uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu,
“Nanso sɛ moka sɛ, ‘Yɛrentena saa asase yi so,’ na ne saa enti moanyɛ ɔsetie amma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn,
14 njalo nxa lisithi, ‘Hatshi, thina sizakuyahlala eGibhithe lapho esingayikubona khona impi loba sizwe icilongo kumbe silambele ukudla,
na moka sɛ, ‘Dabi, yɛbɛkɔ akɔtena Misraim, baabi a yɛrenhunu ɔko, na yɛrente totorobɛnto nnyegyeeɛ na aduanekɔm nne yɛn a,’
15 zwanini-ke ilizwi likaThixo, lina abasele koJuda.’ UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Nxa liphitshekela ukuya eGibhithe njalo lihambe ukuyahlala khona,
ɛnneɛ tie Awurade asɛm, Ao Yuda nkaeɛfoɔ. Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ, ‘Sɛ moayɛ mo adwene sɛ mobɛkɔ akɔtena Misraim, na sɛ monya kɔtena hɔ a,
16 lapho-ke inkemba eliyesabayo izalifica khona, lendlala eliyesabayo izalilandela eGibhithe, njalo lizafela khonale.
ɛnneɛ akofena a mosuro no bɛto mo wɔ hɔ na ɛkɔm a mo akoma tu wɔ ho no bɛdi mo akyi akɔ Misraim, na ɛhɔ na mobɛwuwu.
17 Ngempela bonke abaphitshekela ukuya eGibhithe ukuba bahlale khona bazakufa ngenkemba, indlala lesifo; kakho lamunye wabo ozasinda loba aphephe kumonakalo engizabehlisela wona.’
Nokorɛm, wɔn a wɔasi wɔn adwene pi sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Misraim akɔtena hɔ no bɛwuwu wɔ akofena, ɛkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano, na wɔn mu baako mpo renka anaa ɔrennwane mfiri amanehunu a mede bɛba wɔn so no mu.’
18 UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi, ‘Njengalokhu ukuthukuthela kwami lolaka lwami kwehliselwa phezu kwabantu abahlala eJerusalema, ngokunjalo ulaka lwami luzakwehliselwa phezu kwenu lapho lisiya eGibhithe. Lizakuba yinto yokuthukwa lokwesatshwa, ukulahlwa lokuhlekwa; indawo le kaliyikuyibona futhi.’
Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ mʼabufuo ne mʼabufuhyeɛ hwie guu nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem soɔ no, saa ara na sɛ mokɔ Misraim a, mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛhwie agu mo so. Mobɛyɛ nnomedeɛ, ahodwiredeɛ, afɔbuo ne ahohora; morenhunu saa beaeɛ yi bio.’
19 Lina abasele koJuda, uThixo ulitshelile wathi, ‘Lingayi eGibhithe.’ Wobani leqiniso lalokhu ukuthi: Ngiyalixwayisa lamuhla
“Ao Yuda nkaeɛfoɔ, Awurade aka akyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Monnkɔ Misraim.’ Mommma mo werɛ mfiri. Ɛnnɛ merebɔ mo kɔkɔ
20 ukuthi lenza iphutha elikhulu kakhulu ngokungithuma kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lisithi, ‘Sikhulekele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu; usitshele konke akutshoyo sizakwenza.’
sɛ moyɛɛ mfomsoɔ a ɛyɛ hu yie ɛberɛ a mosomaa me kɔɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn hɔ, na mokaa sɛ, ‘Bɔ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ ma yɛn, na ka deɛ ɔka biara kyerɛ yɛn, na yɛbɛyɛ,’ no.
21 Sengilitshelile lamuhla, kodwa lilokhu lingalaleli lokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu angithume ukuthi ngilitshele khona.
Ɛnnɛ, maka akyerɛ mo, nanso monyɛɛ ɔsetie mmaa Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ara wɔ biribiara a ɔhyɛɛ me sɛ menka nkyerɛ mo no ho.
22 Ngakho khathesi wobani leqiniso ukuthi lizakufa ngenkemba, indlala lesifo endaweni elifuna ukuyahlala kuyo.”
Enti, afei mommma mo werɛ mfiri sɛ mobɛwuwu wɔ akofena, ɛkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm ano wɔ baabi a mopɛ sɛ mokɔtena hɔ no.”
