UJeremiya 30
1 Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini lisithi:
Asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ ni:
2 Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, isithi: Zibhalele encwadini wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe.
“Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: ‘Kyerɛw nsɛm a maka akyerɛ wo nyinaa gu nhoma mu.
3 Ngoba khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bami uIsrayeli loJuda, itsho iNkosi, ngibabuyisele elizweni engalinika oyise, njalo bazakudla ilifa lalo.
Nna bi reba,’ sɛnea Awurade se, ‘a mede me nkurɔfo Israelfo ne Yudafo befi nnommum mu asan aba na mede wɔn aba asase a mede maa wɔn agyanom sɛ wɔmfa ntena so no so,’ Awurade na ose.”
4 Lala ngamazwi iNkosi eyawakhuluma mayelana loIsrayeli lamayelana loJuda.
Eyi ne nsɛm a Awurade ka faa Israel ne Yuda ho:
5 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Sizwile ilizwi lokuthuthumela; kulokwesaba, hatshi ukuthula.
“Nea Awurade se ni: “‘Akomatu nteɛteɛmu na mete, mete basabasayɛ, na ɛnyɛ asomdwoe.
6 Ake libuze, libone uba indoda ingabeletha yini? Kungani ngibona ngulowo lalowo owesilisa isandla sakhe siphezu kokhalo lwakhe njengowesifazana obelethayo, lobuso bonke sebuphenduke baba mhlotshana?
Mummisa na munhu: Ɔbarima betumi awo mma ana? Afei, adɛn nti na mihu ɔbarima hoɔdenfo biara sɛ ne nsa gu ne yafunu so te sɛ ɔbea a ɔwɔ awoko mu, na anim biara ayɛ bosaa saa?
7 Maye! ngoba lukhulu lolosuku, okokuthi kalukho olunjengalo; kuyisikhathi sokuhlupheka kukaJakobe, kodwa uzasindiswa kukho.
Sɛnea da no bɛyɛ hu afa! Da biara renyɛ sɛ ɛno. Ɛbɛyɛ amanehunu bere ama Yakob, nanso wobeyi no afi mu.
8 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngizakwephula ijogwe lakhe entanyeni yakho, ngiqamule izibopho zakho; labezizwe kabasayikumsebenzisa.
“‘Saa da no,’ Asafo Awurade na ose, ‘Mebubu konnua no afi wɔn kɔn mu, na matetew wɔn nkyehama no mu; ananafo remfa wɔn nyɛ nkoa bio.
9 Kodwa bazasebenzela uJehova, uNkulunkulu wabo, loDavida inkosi yabo engizabavusela yena.
Na mmom wɔbɛsom Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn ne Dawid, wɔn hene, a mɛpagyaw no ama wɔn.
10 Ngakho wena ungesabi, nceku yami Jakobe, itsho iNkosi; futhi ungatshaywa luvalo, Israyeli; ngoba khangela, ngizakusindisa ukhatshana, lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo; njalo uJakobe uzaphenduka, athule, onwabe, njalo kakho ozamenza esabe.
“‘Enti nsuro, Yakob, me somfo; mma wʼaba mu mmu, Israel,’ nea Awurade se ni. ‘Nokware, megye wo afi akyirikyiri, ne wʼasefo afi wɔn nnommum asase so. Yakob bɛsan anya asomdwoe ne bammɔ na obiara renhunahuna no bio.
11 Ngoba mina ngilawe, itsho iNkosi, ukukusindisa; ngoba ngizakwenza ukuphela kuzo zonke izizwe engikuhlakazele khona, kodwa kangiyikwenza ukuphela kuwe; kodwa ngizakulaya ngokufaneleyo, kangiyikukuyekela ungajeziswanga ngokupheleleyo.
Me ne wo wɔ hɔ na megye wo nkwa,’ Awurade na ose. ‘Ɛwɔ mu, mesɛe amanaman no nyinaa pasaa, emu na mebɔ mo ahwete kɔ, nanso merensɛe mo korakora. Mɛteɛteɛ mo, nanso mɛyɛ no wɔ trenee kwan so; meremma mo mfa mo ho nni koraa a merentwe mo aso.’
12 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Ukwaphuka kwakho kakwelapheki, isilonda sakho sibi.
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Wʼapirakuru ayɛ akisikuru, na wontumi nsa.
13 Kakho owahlulela udaba lwakho, ukuthi abophe isilonda sakho; kawulamithi epholisayo.
Obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛka bi ama wo, wo kuru no rennya aduru, na worennya ayaresa.
14 Zonke izithandwa zakho zikukhohliwe; kazikudingi; ngoba ngikutshayile ngokutshaya kwesitha, ngokulaywa kololunya, ngenxa yobunengi besiphambeko sakho, izono zakho zandile.
Wʼapamfo nyinaa werɛ afi wo; wo ho biribiara mfa wɔn ho. Mabɔ wo sɛnea wo tamfo bɛyɛ na matwe wʼaso sɛnea otirimɔdenfo bɛtwe, efisɛ wʼafɔdi so dodo na wʼamumɔyɛ nso dɔɔso.
15 Ukhalelani ngokwephuka kwakho? Usizi lwakho kalwelapheki ngenxa yobunengi besiphambeko sakho; ngoba izono zakho zandile, ngizenzile lezizinto kuwe.
Adɛn nti na wusu dennen wɔ wʼapirakuru, wo yawdi a ano nni aduru no ho? Wʼafɔdi kɛse ne wʼamumɔyɛ bebrebe nti na mede saa nneɛma yi ayɛ wo.
16 Ngakho bonke abakudlayo bazadliwa; lazo zonke izitha zakho, zonke zizakuya ekuthunjweni; labakuphangayo bazakuba yimpango, labo bonke abakwemukayo ngizabanikela ekwemukweni.
“‘Nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsɛe mo; mo atamfo nyinaa bɛkɔ nnommum mu. Wɔn a wɔfow mo no wɔbɛfow wɔn wɔn a wɔtow hyɛɛ mo so no, mɛtow ahyɛ wɔn so.
17 Ngoba ngizakwenyusela ukuphila kuwe, ngikwelaphe emanxebeni akho, itsho iNkosi; ngoba bakubize ngokuthi oXotshiweyo, besithi: YiZiyoni, kakulamuntu oyidingayo.
Nanso mɛma wo ahoɔden bio na masa wʼapirakuru,’ Awurade na ose, ‘efisɛ wɔfrɛ wo nea wɔapam no, Sion a wo ho nhia obiara.’”
18 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kwamathente kaJakobe, ngihawukele amakhaya abo; njalo umuzi uzakwakhiwa phezu kwenqumbi yawo, lesigodlo sizahlala njengomkhuba waso.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Mɛsan de Yakob ntamadan mu ahonyade aba na manya ayamhyehye ama nʼatenae ahorow no; wɔbɛkyekye kuropɔn no bio wɔ ne mmubui so, na ahemfi no besi nea ɛsɛ sɛ esi.
19 Njalo kuzaphuma kubo ukubonga, lelizwi labathokozayo; njalo ngizabandisa, kabayikuba balutshwana; ngibadumise, kabayikweyiswa.
Wɔn mu na aseda nnwom befi aba ne ahosɛpɛw nnyigyei. Mɛma wɔadɔɔso, na wɔn dodow no so rentew; mɛhyɛ wɔn anuonyam, na wɔremmu wɔn abomfiaa.
20 Labantwana babo bazakuba njengendulo, lenhlangano yabo izamiswa phambi kwami; njalo ngizajezisa bonke ababacindezelayo.
Wɔn mma bedi yiye sɛ kan no, mɛma wɔn asafo atim wɔ mʼanim; wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa mɛtwe wɔn aso.
21 Lesikhulu sabo sizavela kubo, lombusi wabo uzaphuma evela phakathi kwabo; njalo ngizamsondeza, asondele kimi; ngoba ngubani lowo ongenza inhliziyo yakhe isibambiso sokusondela kimi? itsho iNkosi.
Wɔn kannifo bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa nipa; na wɔn sodifo befi wɔn mu. Mɛka no abata me ho na wabɛn me, na hena na ɔde ne ho bɛma sɛ ɔbɛbɛn me?’” Awurade na ose.
22 Njalo lizakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu.
“‘Enti mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfo, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn.’”
23 Khangelani isivunguzane seNkosi, ukuvutha kuphumile, isivunguzane esikhukhulayo; sizakwehla ngamandla phezu kwekhanda lababi.
Hwɛ, Awurade ahum betu abufuwhyew mu, mfɛtɛ bedi kyinhyia wɔ amumɔyɛfo mpampam.
24 Ukuvutha kolaka lweNkosi kakuyikudeda, ize ikwenze, ize iqinise injongo zenhliziyo yayo; ekucineni kwezinsuku lizanakana ngalokhu.
Awurade abufuw rennwo kosi sɛ obewie ne koma mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa. Nna a ɛreba no mu no mobɛte eyi ase.
