< UJeremiya 32 >
1 Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini emnyakeni wetshumi kaZedekhiya, inkosi yakoJuda, owawungumnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili kaNebhukadirezari.
Eyi ne asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ wɔ Yudahene Sedekia adedi afe a ɛto so du a na ɛyɛ Nebukadnessar adedi afe a ɛto so dunwɔtwe no mu.
2 Ngoba ngalesosikhathi ibutho lenkosi yeBhabhiloni layivimbezela iJerusalema; uJeremiya umprofethi wayevalelwe-ke egumeni lentolongo, elalisendlini yenkosi yakoJuda.
Na Babiloniahene nsraadɔm aka Yerusalem ahyɛ a na odiyifo Yeremia nso da dua mu wɔ awɛmfo adiwo a ɛwɔ Yuda ahemfi.
3 Ngoba uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda wayemvalele esithi: Kungani wena uprofetha usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngiwunikela lumuzi esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni, njalo izawuthumba;
Na Yudahene Sedekia de no ato afiase wɔ hɔ reka se, “Adɛn nti na wohyɛ nkɔm a ɛte sɛɛ? Woka se, ‘Nea Awurade se ni: Mede saa kuropɔn yi rebɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa, na wafa no nnommum.
4 loZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda kayiyikuphunyuka esandleni samaKhaladiya, kodwa uzanikelwa isibili esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni, lomlomo wakhe uzakhuluma lomlomo wayo, lamehlo akhe abone amehlo ayo;
Yudahene Sedekia rennya kwan nguan mfi Babiloniafo nsam, na ampa ara hyɛ na wɔde no bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa, na ɔne no akasa anim ne anim na ɔde nʼani ahu no.
5 izakhokhela-ke uZedekhiya imuse eBhabhiloni, abe khona ngize ngimhambele, itsho iNkosi; lanxa lisilwa lamaKhaladiya, kaliyikuphumelela.
Ɔde Sedekia bɛkɔ Babilonia, na hɔ na ɔbɛtena akosi sɛ me ne no bedi, Awurade na ose. Sɛ woko tia Babiloniafo no a worenni nkonim.’”
6 UJeremiya wasesithi: Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi lisithi:
Yeremia kae se, “Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
7 Khangela, uHanameli indodana kaShaluma umalumakho uzafika kuwe esithi: Zithengele insimu yami eseAnathothi, ngoba nguwe olelungelo lokuhlenga ukuthi uthenge.
Wo wɔfa Salum babarima Hanamel rebɛba wo nkyɛn, abɛka se, ‘Tɔ mʼasase a ɛwɔ Anatot no, efisɛ woyɛ me busuani titiriw na wowɔ ho kwan, na ɛyɛ wʼasɛde nso sɛ wotɔ.’
8 Kwasekufika kimi uHanameli indodana kamalumami, njengokutsho kweNkosi, egumeni lentolongo, wasesithi kimi: Ake uthenge insimu yami eseAnathothi eselizweni lakoBhenjamini, ngoba ulelungelo lelifa, ulohlengo; zithengele yona. Ngasengisazi ukuthi yilizwi leNkosi.
“Na sɛnea Awurade aka no, me wɔfa ba Hanamel baa me nkyɛn wɔ awɛmfo adiwo hɔ bɛkae se, ‘Tɔ mʼasase a ɛwɔ Anatot wɔ Benyamin mantam mu no. Esiane sɛ wowɔ ho kwan sɛ wugye na wofa no nti, tɔ na fa.’ “Mihuu sɛ eyi yɛ Awurade asɛm.”
9 Ngasengiyithenga insimu kuHanameli indodana kamalumami, eseAnathothi, ngamlinganisela imali engamashekeli ayisikhombisa lenhlamvu ezilitshumi zesiliva.
Enti metɔɔ asase a na ɛwɔ Anatot no fii me wɔfa ba Hanamel nkyɛn na mituaa dwetɛ gram ɔha ne aduɔkron anan maa no.
10 Ngasengibhala incwadi, ngayiphawula, ngenza abafakazi bafakaze, ngalinganisa imali ngesikali.
Mede me nsa hyɛɛ adetɔ nhoma no ase, sɔw ano wɔ nnansefo anim, na mede nsania karii dwetɛ mpɔw no.
11 Ngasengithatha incwadi yokuthenga enanyekiweyo njengokomthetho lezimiso, levulekileyo,
Na mefaa adetɔ nhoma no, nea wɔasɔw ano a ɛho nhyehyɛe wɔ mu no, ne nea wɔnsɔw ano no nso,
12 nganika incwadi yokuthenga kuBharukhi indodana kaNeriya, indodana kaMahaseya, phambi kwamehlo kaHanameli indodana kamalumami, laphambi kwamehlo abafakazi ababephawule incwadi yokuthenga, phambi kwamehlo awo wonke amaJuda ayehlezi egumeni lentolongo.
na mede saa adetɔ nhoma no maa Neria babarima Baruk a, ɔyɛ Maaseia nena no wɔ me wɔfa ba Hanamel, nnansefo a wɔde wɔn nsa hyɛɛ adetɔ nhoma no ase ne Yudafo a na wɔwɔ awɛmfo adiwo hɔ no nyinaa anim.
13 Ngasengilaya uBharukhi phambi kwamehlo abo ngisithi:
“Meka kyerɛɛ Baruk wɔ wɔn nyinaa anim se,
14 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Thatha lezizincwadi, le incwadi yokuthenga, zombili enanyekiweyo lale incwadi evulekileyo, uzifake embizeni yebumba, ukuze zihlale insuku ezinengi.
‘Nea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: Fa saa adetɔ so nhoma yi, nea wɔasɔw ano ne nea wɔnsɔw ano, na fa gu dɔte asuhina mu, sɛnea ɛbɛkyɛ yiye.
15 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Kuzabuya kuthengwe izindlu lamasimu lezivini kulelilizwe.
Nea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: Wɔbɛtotɔ afi, mfuw ne bobe nturo wɔ asase yi so bio.’
16 Ngasengikhuleka eNkosini, senginike uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya incwadi yokuthenga, ngisithi:
“Mede adetɔ nhoma no maa Neria babarima Baruk akyiri no, mebɔɔ Awurade mpae se,
17 Hawu Nkosi Jehova! Khangela, nguwe owenze amazulu lomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu langengalo yakho eyeluliweyo; kakuladaba olunzima kakhulu kuwe;
“Ao, Otumfo Awurade, wo na wonam wo tumi ne wo basa a woateɛ mu so abɔ ɔsoro ne asase. Biribiara nyɛ den mma wo.
18 owenza uthandolomusa kwabayizinkulungwane, uphindisela isiphambeko saboyise kusifuba sabantwana babo emva kwabo; uNkulunkulu omkhulu, olamandla, iNkosi yamabandla libizo layo;
Wuyi ɔdɔ adi kyerɛ mpempem, nanso wutua agyanom amumɔyɛ so ka gu wɔn mma a wodi wɔn akyi srɛ so. Onyankopɔn Tweduampɔn a woso na wowɔ tumi, wo din ne Asafo Awurade,
19 omkhulu ngeseluleko, lolamandla ngokwenza; ngoba amehlo akho avulekele zonke indlela zamadodana abantu, ukunika ngulowo lalowo ngokwendlela zakhe, lanjengesithelo sezenzo zakhe;
wo botae so, na wo nneyɛe yɛ kɛse. Wʼaniwa hu nnipa akwan nyinaa; na wutua obiara ka sɛnea nʼabrabɔ ne ne nneyɛe te.
20 owamisa izibonakaliso lezimangaliso elizweni leGibhithe, kuze kube lamuhla, lakoIsrayeli laphakathi kwabantu; wasuzenzela ibizo njengalamuhla.
Woyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade wɔ Misraim na atoa so de abesi nnɛ wɔ Israel ne adesamma nyinaa mu, na wode agye din a ɛwɔ wo de besi nnɛ.
21 Wabakhupha abantu bakho uIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe ngezibonakaliso, langezimangaliso, langesandla esilamandla, langengalo eyeluliweyo, langokwesabeka okukhulu;
Wode nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade, nsa a ɛyɛ den ne abasa a wɔateɛ mu ne nneɛma ɛyɛ hu yii wo man Israel fii Misraim.
22 wabanika lelilizwe, owafunga kuboyise ukubanika lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.
Wode asase a wokaa ho ntam sɛ wode bɛma wɔn agyanom no maa wɔn, asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so.
23 Basebengena badla ilifa lalo, kodwa kabalilalelanga ilizwi lakho, kabahambanga ngomlayo wakho, kabakwenzanga konke owabalaya khona ukuthi bakwenze; ngakho ubehlisele bonke lobububi.
Wɔba bedii, na wɔtenaa so, nanso wɔantie wo, na wɔanni wo mmara so; wɔanyɛ nea wohyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no. Enti wode saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.
24 Khangela amadundulu; afikile emzini ukuwuthumba, lomuzi unikelwe esandleni samaKhaladiya alwa emelene lawo; ngenxa yenkemba lendlala lomatshayabhuqe wesifo; lalokho owakukhulumayo kwenzakele; khangela-ke, uyakubona.
“Hwɛ sɛnea wɔasisi ntuano mpampim de rebegye kuropɔn no. Esiane afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm nti, wɔde kuropɔn no bɛhyɛ Babiloniafo a wɔretow ahyɛ ne so no nsa. Nea wokae no aba mu sɛnea wuhu no mprempren no.
25 Kanti, wena Nkosi Jehova, uthe kimi: Zithengele insimu ngemali, wenze abafakazi bafakaze; ngoba umuzi unikelwe esandleni samaKhaladiya.
Na ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔde kuropɔn no bɛhyɛ Babiloniafo nsa de, nanso wo, Otumfo Awurade, ka kyerɛ me se, ‘Fa dwetɛ tɔ asase na ma nnansefo mmra ho nhyehyɛe no mu.’”
26 Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi kuJeremiya lisithi:
Na Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,
27 Khangela, ngiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wayo yonke inyama; kambe, kukhona loba yini okunzima kakhulu kimi?
“Mene Awurade adesamma nyinaa Nyankopɔn. Na biribi yɛ den dodo ma me ana?
28 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngiwunikela lumuzi esandleni samaKhaladiya, lesandleni sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, ozawuthumba.
Enti nea Awurade se ni: Mede kuropɔn yi rebɛhyɛ Babiloniafo ne Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar nsa, na wɔafa.
29 LamaKhaladiya alwa emelene lalumuzi azangena, awuthungele lumuzi ngomlilo, awutshise kanye lezindlu obekunikelelwa phezu kwazo impepha kuBhali, lobekuthululelwa phezu kwazo iminikelo yokunathwayo kwabanye onkulunkulu, ukuze bangithukuthelise.
Babiloniafo a wɔretow ahyɛ saa kuropɔn yi so no bɛba, na wɔato mu gya; wɔbɛhyew no dwerɛbee, ɛno ne afi a nnipa hyew nnuhuam wɔ atifi maa Baal na wohwiee afɔrebɔ nsa maa anyame foforo de hyɛɛ me abufuw no.
30 Ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli labantwana bakoJuda bebesenza okubi kuphela emehlweni ami, kusukela ebutsheni babo; ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli bangizondisile kuphela ngesenzo sezandla zabo, itsho iNkosi.
“Israelfo ne Yudafo nyɛɛ biribiara sɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so, efi wɔn mmabun bere mu; ampa ara Israelfo nyɛɛ biribiara sɛ wɔde nneɛma a wɔde wɔn nsa ayɛ bɛhyɛ me abufuw, Awurade na ose.
31 Ngoba lumuzi ubukimi ngokolaka lwami langokwentukuthelo yami, kusukela ngosuku abawakha ngalo kuze kube lamuhla, ukuze ngiwususe ebusweni bami;
Efi da a wɔkyekyeree saa kuropɔn yi de besi nnɛ, wahyɛ me abufuw ne abufuwtraso a ɛsɛ sɛ miyi no fi mʼani so.
32 ngenxa yabo bonke ububi babantwana bakoIsrayeli lobabantwana bakoJuda abakwenzayo ukungithukuthelisa, bona, amakhosi abo, iziphathamandla zabo, abapristi babo, labaprofethi babo, labantu bakoJuda, labahlali beJerusalema.
Israelfo ne Yudafo de bɔne a wɔayɛ nyinaa ahyɛ me abufuw, wɔn, wɔn ahemfo ne adwumayɛfo, wɔn asɔfo ne adiyifo, mmarima a wɔwɔ Yuda ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem.
33 Basebengiphendulela umhlana, hatshi-ke ubuso; lanxa ngibafundisile ngivuka ngovivi ngibafundisa; kanti kabalalelanga ukwemukela ukulaywa.
Wɔdan wɔn akyi kyerɛɛ me; ɛwɔ mu, mekyerɛkyerɛ wɔn bere biara de, nanso wɔantie na wɔamfa nteɛso.
34 Kodwa bamisa izinengiso zabo endlini, obizo lami libizwa kuyo, ukuze bayingcolise.
Wɔasisi ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwade wɔ ofi a me Din da so no mu, de guu ho fi.
35 Basebesakha indawo eziphakemeyo zikaBhali ezisesihotsheni sendodana kaHinomu, ukuthi badabulise amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo emlilweni aye kuMoleki, engingabalayanga khona lokungafikanga enhliziyweni yami, ukuthi benze lesisinengiso, ukuze benze uJuda one.
Wosisii sorɔnsorɔmmea maa Baal wɔ Ben Hinom bon mu, de wɔn mmabarima ne mmabea bɔɔ afɔre maa Molek, wɔ bere a menhyɛɛ wɔn na ɛmmaa mʼadwene mu da sɛ wɔnyɛ saa akyiwade yi mma Yuda nyɛ bɔne.
36 Khathesi-ke, ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, mayelana lomuzi lo elithi ngawo: Unikelwe esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni ngenkemba langendlala langomatshayabhuqe wesifo:
“Woreka wɔ kuropɔn yi ho se, ‘Wɔnam afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm so de bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa’; nanso sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se:
37 Khangelani, ngizabaqoqa bevela emazweni wonke lapho engibaxotshele khona ekuthukutheleni kwami langokufutheka kwami langolaka olukhulu; njalo ngizababuyisa kulindawo, ngibenze bahlale bevikelekile.
Ampa ara mɛboaboa wɔn ano afi nsase a mifi mʼabufuwhyew mu pam wɔn koguu hɔ; mɛsan de wɔn aba ha na mama wɔatena ase ahotɔ mu.
38 Yebo, bazakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.
Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo, na mayɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn.
39 Ngizabanika inhliziyonye lendlelanye, ukuze bangesabe zonke insuku, kube kuhle kubo lakubantwana babo emva kwabo.
Na mɛma wɔn koma koro na wɔayɛ wɔn ade abɔ mu, sɛnea bere biara wobesuro me, wɔn ankasa ne wɔn nkyirimma yiyedi nti.
40 Njalo ngizakwenza labo isivumelwano esilaphakade, ukuze ngingaphenduki ekubalandeleni, ukuthi ngibenzele okuhle, ngifake ukungesaba enhliziyweni yabo, ukuze bangaphenduki basuke kimi.
Na me ne wɔn bɛyɛ daapem apam: Merennyae wɔn yiyeyɛ da, na mede ɔpɛ bɛhyɛ wɔn koma mu, ama wɔasuro me, sɛnea wɔrentwe wɔn ho mfi me ho da.
41 Yebo, ngizathokoza ngabo ukubenzela okuhle, ngibahlanyele ngobuqotho kulelilizwe, ngenhliziyo yami yonke langomphefumulo wami wonke.
Mʼani begye sɛ mɛyɛ wɔn yiye, na ampa ara mede me koma ne me kra nyinaa bedua wɔn wɔ asase yi so.
42 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Njengoba ngehlisele phezu kwalababantu bonke lobububi obukhulu, ngokunjalo ngizabehlisela konke okuhle engikukhulumileyo ngabo.
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Sɛnea mede amanehunu kɛse yi nyinaa aba nkurɔfo yi so no, saa ara na mede yiyedi a mahyɛ wɔn ho bɔ no bɛma wɔn.
43 Amasimu azathengwa-ke kulelilizwe elithi ngalo: Liyinkangala engelamuntu lenyamazana, linikelwe esandleni samaKhaladiya.
Wɔbɛtotɔ nsase bio wɔ ha, nea moka wɔ ho se, ‘Wɔde ahyɛ Babiloniafo nsa, ɛno nti ada mpan, na nnipa anaa mmoa nni so no.’
44 Bazathenga amasimu ngemali, babhale izincwadi, baphawule, benze abafakazi bafakaze, elizweni lakoBhenjamini lemaphandleni eJerusalema lemizini yakoJuda lemizini yezintaba lemizini yesihotsha lemizini yeningizimu; ngoba ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo, itsho iNkosi.
Wɔde dwetɛ bɛtotɔ nsase, na wɔbɛyɛ adetɔ nhoma wɔ so. Wɔbɛsɔw ano wɔ nnansefo anim wɔ Benyamin mantam, nkuraa a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia, nkurow a ɛwɔ Yuda, bepɔw so man, atɔe fam mmepɔw ase ne Negeb, efisɛ mɛsan de wɔn ahonyade ama wɔn, Awurade na ose.”
