UJeremiya 7
1 Leli yilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lisithi:
Eyi ne asɛm a efi Awurade hɔ baa Yeremia nkyɛn:
2 “Mana esangweni lendlu kaThixo umemezele ilizwi leli ukhonapho uthi: ‘Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lonke lina bantu bakoJuda abangena ngala amasango ukuzakhonza uThixo.
“Gyina Awurade asɔredan no pon ano, na ka saa asɛm yi: “‘Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo nnipa a mowɔ Yuda nyinaa a mofa apon yi ano kɔsom Awurade.
3 UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Lungisani izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu, ukuze ngilivumele ukuba lihlale kule indawo.
Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se: Monsakra mo akwan ne mo nneyɛe, na mɛma mo atena ha.
4 Lingathembi amazwi akhohlisayo lithi, “Leli lithempeli likaThixo, ithempeli likaThixo, ithempeli likaThixo!”
Mommfa mo ho nto nnaadaasɛm so na monnka se, “Eyi ne Awurade asɔredan, Awurade asɔredan, Awurade asɔredan!”
5 Lingalungisa izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu sibili liphathane ngokulunga,
Sɛ mosakra mo akwan ne mo nneyɛe nokware mu, na mo ne mo ho mo ho di no trenee mu,
6 nxa lingancindezeli owezizweni, izintandane loba umfelokazi njalo lingachithi gazi elingelacala kule indawo, njalo nxa lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu okuzalilimaza,
sɛ moanhyɛ ɔhɔho, ayisaa anaa okunafo so, na moanhwie mogya a edi bem angu wɔ ha, na moanni anyame foforo akyi ankɔ mo ara ɔsɛe mu a,
7 ngizalivumela ukuba lihlale kule indawo, elizweni engalinika okhokho benu ukuba libe ngelabo kuze kube nini lanini.
ɛno de, mɛma mo atena ha, asase a mede maa mo agyanom afebɔɔ no so.
8 Kodwa khangelani, lina lithemba amazwi akhohlisayo angasizi lutho.
Nanso monhwɛ, mode mo ho ato nnaadaa nsɛm a so nni mfaso so.
9 Kambe lizantshontsha njalo libulale, lifebe, lifunge amanga, litshisele uBhali impepha njalo lilandele abanye onkulunkulu elingakaze libazi,
“‘Mobɛbɔ korɔn na moadi awu, mobɛbɔ aguaman na moadi adansekurum, mobɛhyew nnuhuam ama Baal na moadi anyame afoforo a munnim wɔn akyi,
10 beselisizakuma phambi kwami kuyonale indlu, eleBizo lami, lithi, “Sivikelekile,” livikeleka ukuba lenze zonke lezizinto ezenyanyekayo na?
na afei, moaba abegyina mʼanim wɔ ofi a me din da so na moaka se, “Yenni ɔhaw,” sɛ moyɛ akyiwade yi nyinaa a na munni ɔhaw ana?
11 Indlu le, eleBizo lami, seyaba lubhalu lwabaphangi na? Kodwa kade ngikhangele! kutsho uThixo.
Na ofi a me din da so yi, abɛyɛ adwowtwafo tu ama mo ana? Nanso migu so rehwɛ! Awurade na ose.
12 Hambani khathesi endaweni yami eShilo lapho engenza khona kuqala indawo yokuhlala iBizo lami, libone engakwenza kuyo ngenxa yobubi babantu bami bako-Israyeli.
“‘Na afei monkɔ Silo, faako a midii kan bɔɔ atenae de me Din too so, na monhwɛ nea meyɛɛ no esiane me nkurɔfo Israelfo amumɔyɛ nti.
13 UThixo uthi, kwathi lapho lisenza lezizinto, mina ngakhuluma lani futhifuthi, kodwa kalingilalelanga, ngalibiza, kalaze lasabela.
Bere a moreyɛ eyinom nyinaa, Awurade na ose, mekasa kyerɛɛ mo mpɛn bebree, nanso moantie; mefrɛɛ mo, nanso moannye so.
14 Ngakho-ke, lokho engakwenza eShilo khathesi ngizakwenza kule indlu eleBizo lami, ithempeli elilithembileyo, indawo engalinika yona lina kanye labokhokho benu.
Ɛno nti, sɛnea meyɛɛ Silo no, mede bɛyɛ ofi a me Din da so no, asɔredan a mode mo ho to so, baabi a mede maa mo ne mo agyanom no.
15 Ngizalixotsha phambi kwami, njengalokho engakwenza abafowenu bonke, abantu bako-Efrayimi.’
Mɛpam mo afi mʼanim sɛnea meyɛɛ mo nuanom Efraimfo no.’
16 Ngakho abantu laba ungabakhulekeli loba ubakhulumele kumbe ubenzele isicelo; ungangincengi ngoba angiyikukulalela.
“Enti mommmɔ mpae mma saa nnipa yi, monnsrɛ na munni mma wɔn nso; monnsrɛ me, efisɛ merentie mo.
17 Abakwenzayo emadolobheni akoJuda lasemigwaqweni yaseJerusalema kawukuboni na?
Munnhu nea wɔreyɛ wɔ Yuda nkurow no mu ne Yerusalem mmɔnten so no ana?
18 Abantwana batheza inkuni, oyise babasa imililo, labesifazane baxova inhlama benzele iNdlovukazi yaseZulwini isinkwa. Bathelela abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokunathwayo ukuba bangithukuthelise.
Mmofra boaboa nnyina ano, na agyanom sɔ ogya no ano, mmea fɔtɔw asikresiam de to brodo ma Ɔsoro Hemmea. Na wogu nsa ma anyame afoforo de hyɛ me abufuw.
19 Kodwa yimi abangithukuthelisayo na? kutsho uThixo. Kabazilimazi bona ngokwabo na, okulihlazo kubo?
Na ɛyɛ me na wɔrehyɛ me abufuw ana? Awurade na ose. Na ɛnyɛ wɔn mmom na wɔrehaw wɔn ho, hyɛ wɔn ho aniwu ana?
20 ‘Ngakho uThixo Wobukhosi uthi: Ukuthukuthela kwami lolaka lwami kuzakwehliselwa kule indawo, phezu kwabantu lasezinyamazaneni, phezu kwezihlahla zeganga laphezu kwezithelo zomhlabathi; njalo kuzakutsha kungacitsheki.
“‘Ɛno nti, nea Otumfo Awurade se ni: Wobehwie mʼabufuw ne mʼabufuwhyew agu beae yi so, agu nnipa ne mmoa, mfuw so nnua ne asase no so aba so, na ɛbɛdɛw a ɛrennum.’
21 UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Qhubekani, fakani iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa kweminye imihlatshelo yenu lidle inyama lina ngokwenu!
“‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: Monkɔ so, momfa mo ɔhyew afɔrebɔ nka mo afɔrebɔ a aka no ho, na mo ankasa monwe nam no!
22 Ngoba ekukhupheni kwami okhokho benu eGibhithe ngikhuluma labo, angizange ngibanike imilayo nje kuphela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo,
Na bere a miyii mo agyanom fii Misraim na mekasa kyerɛɛ wɔn no, manhyɛ wɔn mmara a ɛfa ɔhyew afɔrebɔ ne afɔrebɔ ho nko ara,
23 kodwa ngabanika umlayo lo othi: Ngilalelani, njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wenu lina libe ngabantu bami. Hambani ngezindlela zonke engililaye zona, ukuze kulilungele.
mmom mede saa mmara yi kaa ho: Monyɛ osetie mma me, na mɛyɛ mo Nyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfo. Monnantew akwan nyinaa a mɛhyɛ mo no so, na asi mo yiye.
24 Kodwa kabazange balalele kumbe banake; esikhundleni salokho, bona balandela inkani yentando yezinhliziyo zabo ezimbi. Baya emuva hatshi phambili.
Nanso wɔantie na wɔanyɛ aso; mmom, wofi wɔn koma bɔne mu yɛɛ asoɔden. Wɔsan wɔn akyi na wɔankɔ wɔn anim.
25 Kusukela ngesikhathi okhokho benu besuka eGibhithe kuze kube khathesi, usuku ngosuku, njalonjalo ngalithumela izinceku zami abaphrofethi.
Efi bere a mo agyanom fii Misraim de besi nnɛ yi, da biara ne bere biara mesomaa me nkoa adiyifo baa mo nkyɛn.
26 Kodwa kabangilalelanga kumbe banake. Babelentamo ezilukhuni njalo benza ububi obudlula obabokhokho babo.’
Nanso wɔantie me na wɔanyɛ aso. Wɔde asoɔden yɛɛ bɔne boroo wɔn agyanom de so.’
27 Lapho ubatshela konke lokhu, kabayikukulalela; lalapho ubabiza, kabayikusabela.
“Sɛ moka eyinom nyinaa kyerɛ wɔn a, wɔrentie mo; sɛ mofrɛ wɔn a wɔrennye so.
28 Ngakho batshele uthi, ‘Lesi yisizwe esingalalelanga uThixo uNkulunkulu waso kumbe sivume ukuqondiswa. Iqiniso selifile; kalisekho ezindebeni zabo.
Ɛno nti monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Eyi ne ɔman a ɔnyɛɛ osetie mmaa Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn, na ɔmfaa nteɛso no. Nokware asa, na afi wɔn ano.
29 Gelani inwele zenu lizilahlele khatshana; lenze isililo emiqolweni elugwadule, ngoba uThixo usesalile wasidela isizukulwane lesi esingaphanasi kolaka lwakhe.’”
Munyi mo tinwi na montow ngu, muntwa agyaadwo wɔ nkoko no so, efisɛ Awurade apo, na wagyaa saa awo ntoatoaso yi a wɔwɔ nʼabufuwhyew no ase akyidi.’”
30 “‘Abantu bakoJuda benze ububi phambi kwami, kutsho uThixo. Bamise izithombe zabo ezenyanyekayo endlini eleBizo lami balingcolisa.
“‘Yudafo ayɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so, sɛnea Awurade se ni. Wɔde ahoni a, ɛyɛ akyiwade asisi ofi a me Din da so mu de agu ho fi.
31 Sebakhe izindawo eziphakemeyo zaseThofethi esigodini saseBheni-Hinomu ukuba batshisele khona amadodana lamadodakazi abo ngomlilo, into engingabalayanga yona, engazange ifike engqondweni yami.
Wɔasisi Tofet sorɔnsorɔmmea wɔ Ben Hinom bon mu; ɛhɔ na wɔhyew wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea. Ade a manhyɛ wɔn na amma mʼadwene mu nso.
32 Ngakho qaphelani, insuku ziyeza, kutsho uThixo, lapho abantu bengayikuyithi yiThofethi kumbe iSigodi saseBheni-Hinomu, kodwa iSigodi sokuBulala, ngoba abafileyo bazabangcwaba eThofethi kuze kusweleke indawo.
Ɛno nti, monhwɛ yiye na nna no reba, Awurade na ose, a wɔremfrɛ hɔ Tofet anaa Hinom Bon bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ no Okum Bon, efisɛ wobesie awufo wɔ Tofet kosi sɛ hɔ bɛyɛ ma.
33 Lapho-ke izidumbu zabantu laba zizakuba yikudla kwezinyoni zasemoyeni lezinyamazana zomhlaba, njalo akuyikuba lomuntu ozazethusa.
Na afei saa nnipa yi afunu bɛyɛ aduan ama wim nnomaa ne asase so mmoa, na ɛrenka obiara wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpam wɔn.
34 Ngizaqeda imisindo yokuthokoza leyenjabulo emadolobheni akoJuda lasemigwaqweni yaseJerusalema, lokuthaba lelizwi lomlobokazi lelomyeni, ngoba ilizwe lizachitheka.’”
Mede ahosɛpɛw ne anigye nnyigyei, ayeforo ne ayeforokunu nne a ɛwɔ Yuda nkurow ne Yerusalem mmɔnten so no bɛba awiei, efisɛ asase no bɛda mpan.’”
