UJeremiya 15
1 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Loba bekumi phambi kwami oMozisi loSamuweli, inhliziyo yami ibingebe kulababantu; baxotshe phambi kwami, bayekele baphume.
Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɛ mpo, Mose ne Samuel begyinaa mʼanim a anka me koma rentɔ nkɔ saa nnipa yi so. Ma womfi mʼani so! Ma wɔnkɔ!
2 Kuzakuthi-ke uba besithi kuwe: Sizaphuma siye ngaphi? Uzabatshela-ke uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Abokufa baya ekufeni, labenkemba baya enkembeni, labendlala baya endlaleni, labokuthunjwa baya ekuthunjweni.
Na sɛ wobisa wo se, ‘Ɛhe na yɛnkɔ’ a, ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Wɔn a wɔahyɛ owu ama wɔn no, bɛkɔ owu mu; wɔn a wɔahyɛ afoa ama wɔn no bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano; wɔn a wɔahyɛ ɔkɔm ama wɔn no, ɔkɔm bɛde wɔn; wɔn a wɔahyɛ nnommumfa ama wɔn no bɛkɔ nnommum mu.’
3 Ngoba ngizabamisela izinhlobo ezine, itsho iNkosi: Inkemba yokubulala, lezinja zokudonsa, lenyoni zamazulu lezinyamazana zomhlaba zokudla lezokubhubhisa.
“Mede adesɛefo ahorow anan bɛba wɔn so,” Awurade na ose, “afoa a ebekunkum wɔn, akraman a wɔbɛtwe wɔn ase akɔ, wim nnomaa ne asase so mmoa a wɔbɛtetew wɔn nam asɛe wɔn.
4 Ngizabanikela babe yinto eyesabekayo kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, ngenxa kaManase indodana kaHezekhiya, inkosi yakoJuda, ngalokho akwenza eJerusalema.
Mɛma wɔayɛ akyiwade ama asase so ahenni nyinaa, esiane nea Yudahene Hesekia babarima Manase yɛɛ wɔ Yerusalem nti.
5 Ngoba ngubani ozakuhawukela, wena Jerusalema? Njalo ngubani ozakulilela? Njalo ngubani ozaphambukela eceleni ukubuza ngokuthula kwakho?
“Hena na obehu wo mmɔbɔ, Yerusalem? Hena na obegyam wo? Hena na obegyina abisa sɛnea wo ho te?
6 Wena ungidelile, itsho iNkosi, wabuyela emuva; ngakho ngizakwelula isandla sami ngimelene lawe, ngikuchithe; ngikhathele yikuhawukela.
Woapo me,” Awurade na ose. “Wugu akyirisan so ara. Ɛno nti mɛteɛ me nsa wɔ wo so na masɛe wo. Me yam renhyehye me mma wo bio.
7 Njalo ngizabela ngoluthi lokwela emasangweni elizwe; ngizabemuka abantwana, ngibhubhise abantu bami; kabaphendukanga endleleni zabo.
Mede nhuhuwso apampaa behuhuw wɔn so wɔ asase no kuropɔn apon ano. Mede owu ne ɔsɛe bɛba me nkurɔfo so, efisɛ wɔnsakraa wɔn akwan ɛ.
8 Abafelokazi babo bandile kimi kuletshebetshebe lolwandle. Ngilethe phezu kwabo, phezu kukanina, ijaha, umchithi emini enkulu; ngiwisele phezu kwabo uvalo lezesabiso bengananzelele.
Mɛma wɔn akunafo adɔɔso asen mpoano nwea. Mede ɔsɛefo bɛba owigyinae, abɛhaw wɔn mmerante nanom; mpofirim mede ɔyaw ne ehu bɛba wɔn so.
9 Owazala abayisikhombisa usekhathele; usephefumule okokucina; ilanga lakhe litshone kusesemini; waba lenhloni, wayangeka; lensali yabo ngizayinikela enkembeni phambi kwezitha zabo, itsho iNkosi.
Ɔbeatan a wawo ason bɛtɔ beraw, na wagyaa mu. Ne wia bɛtɔ wɔ bere a ade nsaa ɛ; wobegu nʼanim ase abrɛ no ase. Mede nkae no bɛma afoa wɔ wɔn atamfo anim,” Awurade na ose.
10 Maye mina, mama, ukuthi ungizele, umuntu wokuphikisana lomuntu wokuxabana emhlabeni wonke! Kangebolekisanga ngenzuzo, futhi kabangebolekisanga ngenzuzo, kanti bayangithuka, ngulowo lalowo wabo.
Ao, me na a wowoo me, onipa a asase no sofo nyinaa ne me ham, di aperepere! Memfɛm obi biribi na memmɔɔ bosea mfii obi hɔ ɛ, nanso obiara dome me.
11 INkosi yathi: Isibili kuzakuba kuhle ngensali yakho; isibili ngizakuncengela esitheni ngesikhathi sokubi langesikhathi sosizi.
Awurade kae se, “Nokware megye wo ama botae pa bi; ampa ara mɛma wʼatamfo apa wo kyɛw wɔ amanehunu ne ahohia mmere mu.
12 Insimbi ingayephula yini insimbi evela enyakatho lethusi?
“Onipa betumi abu dade mu dade a efi atifi fam, anaa kɔbere?
13 Inotho yakho lokuligugu kwakho ngizakunikela kube yimpango, kungelantengo, langenxa yezono zakho zonke, ngitsho emingceleni yakho yonke.
“Mo ahode ne mo nnwetɛbona mede bɛma sɛ wɔmfom a wɔrentua ka, esiane mo nnebɔne nyinaa wɔ mo man no mu nti.
14 Ngizakwenza ukuthi udlule kanye lezitha zakho uye elizweni ongalaziyo; ngoba umlilo ubasiwe olakeni lwami; uzabhebha phezu kwenu.
Mede mo bɛyɛ nkoa ama mo atamfo wɔ ɔman a munnim so so, mʼabufuw bɛma ogya adɛw na ɛbɛhyew mo.”
15 Wena uyazi, Nkosi; ngikhumbula, ungihambele, ungiphindiselele kwabangizingelayo; ungangisusi ekubekezeleni kwakho; yazi ukuthi ngenxa yakho ngithwele ihlazo.
Wote ase, Awurade; kae me na hwɛ me so. Tɔ wɔn a wɔtaa me no so were. Wowɔ abodwokyɛre, mma me nwu; hwɛ sɛnea wo nti wɔbɔ me ahohora.
16 Amazwi akho atholakala njalo ngawadla; lelizwi lakho kimi laba yinjabulo njalo laba yintokozo yenhliziyo yami; ngoba ibizo lakho labizwa phezu kwami, wena Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wamabandla.
Wo nsɛm bae no, midii; ɛyɛɛ mʼahosɛpɛw ne me koma apɛde, na wo din da me so, Ao, Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn.
17 Kangihlalanga emhlanganweni wabahleka usulu, kumbe ngijabule; ngenxa yesandla sakho ngahlala ngedwa; ngoba ungigcwalise ngentukuthelo.
Mantena wɔn a wogye wɔn ani fekuw mu, ne wɔn annye wɔn ani; metew me ho tenae, efisɛ wo nsa daa me so na wʼabufuw hyɛɛ me ma.
18 Kungani ubuhlungu bami bube khona njalonjalo, lenxeba lami lingelapheki, lisala ukuphola? Isibili uzakuba njengomqambimanga kimi yini, njengamanzi angathembekanga?
Adɛn nti na me yaw to ntwa da na mʼapirakuru ayɛ akisikuru a ano yɛ den? Wopɛ sɛ woyɛ sɛ nnaadaa asuwa ma me, sɛ asuti a ɛyow ana?
19 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi: Uba ubuya, ngizakubuyisa, ume phambi kwami; njalo uba ukhupha okuligugu kokungasizi lutho, uzakuba njengomlomo wami. Bona kababuyele kuwe, kodwa wena ungabuyeli kubo.
Enti sɛɛ na Awurade se, “Sɛ wosakra wʼadwene a megye wo ato mu bio na woasom me; sɛ nsɛm a edi mu fi wʼanom, na ɛnyɛ nsɛm huhuw a, wobɛyɛ me kasamafo. Ma saa nnipa yi nnan mmra wo nkyɛn, na wo de, ɛnsɛ sɛ wodan kɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
20 Ngoba ngizakwenza ube ngumduli wethusi ovikelweyo kulababantu; njalo bazakulwa bemelene lawe, kodwa kabayikukwehlula, ngoba mina ngilawe ukukusindisa lokukophula, itsho iNkosi.
Mede wo bɛyɛ ɔfasu ama saa nnipa yi, bammɔ fasu a wɔde kɔbere ato; wɔne wo bedi asi nanso wɔrenni wo so nkonim, efisɛ me ne wo wɔ hɔ sɛ meyi wo na magye wo nkwa,” Awurade, na ose.
21 Ngizakophula esandleni sababi, ngikuhlenge esandleni sabalesihluku.
“Megye wo nkwa afi amumɔyɛfo nsam na mayi wo afi atirimɔdenfo nsam.”
