UJeremiya 36
1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, lelilizwi lafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini, lisithi:
Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim afe a ɛtɔ so ɛnan mu, saa asɛm yi firi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ,
2 Zithathele umqulu wogwalo, ubhale kiwo wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe ngoIsrayeli langoJuda langazo zonke izizwe, kusukela ngosuku lokukhuluma kwami kuwe, kusukela ensukwini zikaJosiya, kuze kube lamuhla.
“Fa nwoma mmobɔeɛ, na twerɛ nsɛm a maka akyerɛ wo fa Israel, Yuda ne aman a aka no ho nyinaa, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mefirii aseɛ kasa kyerɛɛ wo wɔ Yosia adedie berɛ so bɛsi ɛnnɛ gu so.
3 Mhlawumbe abendlu kaJuda bazakuzwa bonke ububi engicabanga ukubenza kubo; ukuze baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, ukuze ngithethelele ububi babo lesono sabo.
Ebia, sɛ Yudafoɔ te amanehunu biara a mayɛ mʼadwene sɛ mede bɛba wɔn so a, wɔn mu biara bɛdane afiri nʼamumuyɛ ho na afei mede wɔn amumuyɛ ne wɔn bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn.”
4 UJeremiya wasebiza uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya; uBharukhi wasebhala okuvela emlonyeni kaJeremiya, wonke amazwi eNkosi eyayiwakhulume kuye, emqulwini wogwalo.
Enti, Yeremia frɛɛ Neria babarima Baruk, na ɛberɛ a ɔreka nsɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ no nyinaa no, Baruk twerɛ guu nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu.
5 UJeremiya waselaya uBharukhi esithi: Ngivinjelwe, kangilakungena endlini yeNkosi.
Afei, Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Baruk sɛ, “Meda dua mu; merentumi nkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
6 Ngakho hamba wena, ufunde emqulwini owubhalileyo, kuvela emlonyeni wami, amazwi eNkosi endlebeni zabantu endlini yeNkosi ngosuku lokuzila ukudla; uwafunde futhi endlebeni zakhe wonke uJuda abavela emizini yabo.
Enti, kɔ Awurade efie mmuadadie da bi na kenkan nsɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn a meka ma wotwerɛ guu nwoma mmobɔeɛ no so no kyerɛ nnipa no. Kenkan kyerɛ Yudafoɔ a wɔfiri wɔn nkuro so aba no.
7 Mhlawumbe ukuncenga kwabo kuzakuwa phambi kweNkosi, baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi; ngoba lukhulu ulaka lentukuthelo iNkosi ekukhulume kulababantu.
Ebia wɔde wɔn nkotosrɛ bɛba Awurade anim na wɔn mu biara adane afiri nʼamumuyɛ akwan ho, ɛfiri sɛ abufuo ne abufuhyeɛ nsɛm a Awurade aka atia saa nnipa yi so.”
8 UBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wasesenza njengakho konke uJeremiya umprofethi ayemlaye khona, efunda egwalweni amazwi eNkosi endlini yeNkosi.
Neria babarima Baruk yɛɛ biribiara a odiyifoɔ Yeremia kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, ɔkenkanee Awurade nsɛm a ɛwɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu wɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu.
9 Kwasekuthi emnyakeni wesihlanu kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye, bamemezela ukuzila ukudla phambi kweNkosi, bonke abantu eJerusalema, labantu bonke abavela emizini yakoJuda eJerusalema.
Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nkron wɔ Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim adedie afe a ɛtɔ so enum so no, wɔpaee Awurade anim mmuadadie maa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa ne wɔn a wɔfiri Yuda nkuro so aba no.
10 UBharukhi wasefunda egwalweni amazwi kaJeremiya endlini yeNkosi, ekamelweni likaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, umbhali, egumeni elingaphezulu, emnyango wesango elitsha lendlu yeNkosi, endlebeni zabantu bonke.
Baruk kenkanee Yeremia nsɛm a ɛwɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu kyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu nyinaa; firii Safan babarima Gemaria a ɔyɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ no pia a ɛwɔ asɔredan no atifi adihɔ na ɛbɛn Ɔpono Foforɔ no mu.
11 UMikhaya, indodana kaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, wasesizwa wonke amazwi eNkosi avela kulolugwalo,
Ɛberɛ a Safan babarima Gemaria babarima Mikaia tee Awurade nsɛm a ɛwɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu no,
12 wehlela endlini yenkosi, ekamelweni lombhali; khangela-ke, zonke iziphathamandla zazihlezi lapho, uElishama umbhali, loDelaya indodana kaShemaya, loElinathani indodana kaAkhibhori, loGemariya indodana kaShafani, loZedekhiya indodana kaHananiya, leziphathamandla zonke.
ɔkɔɔ ɔtwerɛfoɔ no dan a ɛwɔ ahemfie hɔ no mu, baabi a na ɔtwerɛfoɔ Elisama, Semaia babarima Delaia, Akbor babarima Elnatan, Safan babarima Gemaria, Hanania babarima Sedekia ne adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔaka no nyinaa teteɛ.
13 UMikhaya wasebatshela wonke amazwi ayewezwile, lapho uBharukhi efunda egwalweni endlebeni zabantu.
Mikaia kaa nsɛm a Baruk kenkanee firii nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn no akyi,
14 Zonke iziphathamandla zasezithuma uJehudi, indodana kaNethaniya, indodana kaShelemiya, indodana kaKushi, kuBharukhi, zisithi: Umqulu ofunde kuwo endlebeni zabantu, uthathe ngesandla sakho uze. Ngakho uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wathatha umqulu ngesandla sakhe, waya kuzo.
adwumayɛfoɔ no nyinaa somaa Kusi babarima Selemia babarima Netania babarima Yehudi sɛ ɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Baruk sɛ, “Fa nwoma mmobɔeɛ a wokenkane firii mu kyerɛɛ nnipa no bra, na bra.” Enti Neria babarima Baruk kɔɔ wɔn hɔ a nwoma mmobɔeɛ no kura no.
15 Zasezisithi kuye: Ake uhlale phansi, uwufunde endlebeni zethu. UBharukhi wasefunda endlebeni zazo.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛsrɛ wo tena ase, na kenkan kyerɛ yɛn.” Enti Baruk kenkan kyerɛɛ wɔn.
16 Kwasekusithi sezizwile wonke amazwi, zethukile, ngulowo lalowo ekhangele kumakhelwane wakhe, zathi kuBharukhi: Sizayitshela isibili inkosi wonke amazwi la.
Wɔtee saa nsɛm yi nyinaa no, wɔde ehu hwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim na wɔka kyerɛɛ Baruk sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka saa nsɛm yi nyinaa kyerɛ ɔhene.”
17 Zasezimbuza uBharukhi zisithi: Ake usitshele, wawabhala njani wonke lamazwi emlonyeni wakhe?
Afei, wɔbisaa Baruk sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ yɛn, ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wotwerɛɛ yeinom nyinaa? Yeremia na ɔka ma wotwerɛeɛ anaa?”
18 UBharukhi wasesithi kuzo: Wangifundela wonke lamazwi evela emlonyeni wakhe, ngawabhala egwalweni ngeyinki.
Baruk buaa sɛ, “Aane, ɔno na ɔkaa saa nsɛm yi nyinaa ma mede adubiri twerɛ guu nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu.”
19 Iziphathamandla zasezisithi kuBharukhi: Hamba ucatshe, wena loJeremiya, kakungabi lamuntu owaziyo lapho elikhona.
Na adwumayɛfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Baruk sɛ, “Wo ne Yeremia, monkɔhinta. Monnkyerɛ obiara mo akyiri ɛkwan.”
20 Zasezingena enkosini egumeni, kodwa umqulu zawubeka ekamelweni likaElishama umbhali; zakhuluma wonke amazwi endlebeni zenkosi.
Wɔde nwoma mmobɔeɛ no kɔsiee ɔtwerɛfoɔ Elisama dan mu akyi no, wɔkɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn wɔ nʼabannwa no mu kɔkaa biribiara kyerɛɛ no.
21 Inkosi yasithuma uJehudi ukuthi awulande umqulu; wasewuthatha ekamelweni likaElishama umbhali; uJehudi wawufunda endlebeni zenkosi lendlebeni zazo zonke iziphathamandla ezazimi enkosini.
Ɔhene no somaa Yehudi sɛ, ɔnkɔfa nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mmra. Yehudi kɔfa firii ɔtwerɛfoɔ Elisama dan mu, bɛkenkan kyerɛɛ ɔhene ne adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔgyinagyina ne ho no nyinaa.
22 Inkosi yayihlezi-ke endlini yobusika ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye; umlilo wawuvutha embawuleni phambi kwayo.
Na ɛyɛ ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nkron a na ɔhene no te awɔberɛ dan mu reto ogya a ɛsi nʼanim.
23 Kwasekusithi lapho uJehudi esefundile amakhasi amathathu loba amane, yawasika ngengqamu yombhali, yawaphosela emlilweni osembawuleni, waze watsha waphela umqulu wonke emlilweni osembawuleni.
Ɛberɛ biara a Yehudi bɛkenkan nwoma mmobɔeɛ no afaafa bɛyɛ mmiɛnsa anaa ɛnan no, ɔhene no de ɔtwerɛfoɔ sekan, twitwa de gu ogya no mu, kɔsii sɛ nwoma mmobɔeɛ no nyinaa hyeeɛ.
24 Kodwa kabesabanga, kabadabulanga izembatho zabo, inkosi lenceku zayo zonke, abawezwayo wonke lamazwi.
Ɔhene no ne nʼasomfoɔ a wɔtee saa nsɛm yi nyinaa no ammɔ hu, na wɔansunsuane wɔn ntadeɛ mu nso.
25 Loba kunjalo labo oElinathani loDelaya loGemariya beyincenga inkosi ukuthi ingawutshisi umqulu, kodwa kayibalalelanga.
Ɛwom sɛ Elnatan, Delaia ne Gemaria srɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ ɔnnhye nwoma mmobɔeɛ no, nanso wantie wɔn.
26 Kodwa inkosi yalaya uJerameli indodana yenkosi, loSeraya indodana kaAziriyeli, loShelemiya indodana kaAbideli, ukuze babambe uBharukhi umbhali loJeremiya umprofethi; kodwa iNkosi yabafihla.
Mmom ɔhene no hyɛɛ ne babarima Yerahmeel, Asriel babarima Seraia ne Abdeel babarima Selemia sɛ, wɔnkɔkye ɔtwerɛfoɔ Baruk ne odiyifoɔ Yeremia mmra. Nanso, na Awurade de wɔn asie.
27 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya emva kokuthi inkosi isiwutshisile umqulu lamazwi uBharukhi ayewabhalile evela emlonyeni kaJeremiya, lisithi:
Ɔhene no hyee nwoma mmobɔeɛ a na nsɛm a Baruk twerɛ firii Yeremia anom wɔ mu no akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ,
28 Zithathele futhi omunye umqulu, ubhale kuwo wonke amazwi okuqala ayesemqulwini wokuqala, uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda eyawatshisayo.
“Fa nwoma mmobɔeɛ foforɔ, na twerɛ nsɛm a ɛwɔ kane mmobɔeɛ a Yudahene Yehoiakim hyeeɛ no gu mu.
29 Njalo uzakuthi kuJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Wena utshisile lumqulu, usithi: Ubhaleleni kiwo usithi: Inkosi yeBhabhiloni izafika isibili, ilichithe lelilizwe, yenze ukuthi kuphele kulo abantu lenyamazana?
Afei, ka kyerɛ Yudahene Yehoiakim sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Wohyee nwoma mmobɔeɛ no kaa sɛ: “Adɛn enti na wotwerɛɛ wɔ mu sɛ ɛkwan biara so, Babiloniahene bɛba abɛsɛe asase yi na watɔre ɛso nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa ase?”
30 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana loJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda: Kayikuba lamuntu ohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida; lesidumbu sakhe sizaphoselwa ekutshiseni kwemini lekuqandeni kobusuku.
Ɛno enti, yei ne deɛ Awurade ka fa Yudahene Yehoiakim ho: Ɔrennya obi ntena Dawid ahennwa so. Wɔbɛto ne funu atwene a, wɔrensie no, na wada owia hyeɛ ne anadwo awɔ mu.
31 Ngizamjezisa-ke yena, lenzalo yakhe, lenceku zakhe, ububi babo; ngehlisele phezu kwabo laphezu kwabahlali beJerusalema laphezu kwabantu bakoJuda konke okubi engikukhulume kubo, kodwa kabalalelanga.
Mɛtwe ɔno ne ne mma ne nʼasomfoɔ aso wɔ wɔn amumuyɛ nti; mede amanehunu biara a mahyɛ atia wɔn bɛba wɔn ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem ne Yudafoɔ so, ɛfiri sɛ wɔnntieɛ.’”
32 UJeremiya wasethatha omunye umqulu, wawunika uBharukhi, indodana kaNeriya, umbhali, owabhala kiwo okuvela emlonyeni kaJeremiya wonke amazwi ogwalo uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda eyalutshisayo ngomlilo; kwengezelelwa-ke kiwo amanye amazwi amanengi afanana lawo.
Na Yeremia faa nwoma mmobɔeɛ foforɔ, na ɔka maa ne twerɛfoɔ Baruk twerɛeɛ. Ɔkaa biribiara a na ɛwɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ no a Yudahene Yehoiakim hyee no no so. Na ɔde nsɛm pii kaa ho.
