UJeremiya 39
1 Ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye kaZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, ngenyanga yetshumi, kwafika uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni lebutho lakhe lonke, bamelana leJerusalema, bayivimbezela.
Yudahene Sedekia dii ade no, ne mfe akron mu, ɔsram a ɛto so du so no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne nʼasraafo nyinaa tuu Yerusalem so sa, wotuaa kuropɔn no na wɔyɛɛ mpie twaa ho hyiae.
2 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye kaZedekhiya, ngenyanga yesine, ngolwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga, umuzi wafohlelwa.
Sedekia adedi afe a ɛto so dubaako, ɔsram a ɛto so anan no da a ɛto so akron no, wobubuu kuropɔn no afasu.
3 Zonke iziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni zasezingena, zahlala esangweni eliphakathi, oNerigali-Sharezi, uSamiganebo, uSarisekimi, uRabisarisi, uNerigali-Sharezi, uRabimagi, lazo zonke ezinye iziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni.
Na Babiloniahene adwumayɛfo no nyinaa bɛtenaa Mfimfini Pon hɔ: Nergal-Sareser a ofi Samgar ne Nebo-Sarsekim a ɔyɛ ɔsraani panyin ne Nergal-Sareser a ɔyɛ otitiriw, ne Babiloniahene adwumayɛfo a wɔaka no nyinaa.
4 Kwasekusithi lapho uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lawo wonke amadoda empi bezibona, babaleka, baphuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yesivande senkosi, ngesango eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili; waphuma ngendlela yamagceke.
Bere a Yudahene Sedekia ne nʼasraafo nyinaa huu wɔn no, woguanee, wɔfaa ɔhene turo mu fii kuropɔn no mu anadwo, kɔfaa ɔpon a ɛwɔ afasu abien no ntam, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Araba.
5 Kodwa ibutho lamaKhaladiya laxotshana labo, lamfica uZedekhiya emagcekeni eJeriko; selimbambile lamenyusela kuNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni eRibila, elizweni leHamathi, owakhuluma izigwebo ezimelene laye.
Nanso Babilonia asraafo no taa wɔn kɔtoo Sedekia wɔ Yeriko tataw so. Wɔfaa no dommum de no kɔmaa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat asase so, na hɔ na obuu no atɛn.
6 Inkosi yeBhabhiloni yasibulala amadodana kaZedekhiya eRibila emehlweni akhe; inkosi yeBhabhiloni yabuya yabulala zonke izikhulu zakoJuda.
Ribla hɔ na Babiloniahene kunkum Sedekia mmabarima wɔ nʼanim na okum Yudafo mmapɔmma nyinaa nso.
7 Yasiphumputhekisa amehlo kaZedekhiya, yambopha ngamaketane ethusi amabili ukuze imuse eBhabhiloni.
Afei otutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere mfrafrae mpokyerɛ guu no sɛ ɔde no rekɔ Babilonia.
8 AmaKhaladiya asetshisa indlu yenkosi lezindlu zabantu ngomlilo, adilizela phansi imiduli yeJerusalema.
Babiloniafo no de ogya too ahemfi no ne nnipa no afi mu, na wodwiriw Yerusalem afasu no.
9 Lensali yabantu eyayisele emzini, lalabo ababehlubukile, ababehlubukile kuyo, lensali yabantu eyayisele, uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi yabathumba yabasa eBhabhiloni.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a otua ɔhene awɛmfo ano no de kuropɔn no mu nkae, wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho kɔmaa no ne nnipa a wɔaka no kɔɔ nkoasom mu wɔ Babilonia.
10 Kodwa uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi watshiya elizweni lakoJuda ebantwini ababengabayanga ababengelalutho, wabanika izivini lamasimu ngalolosuku.
Nanso ɔsahene Nebusaradan a otua awɛmfo no ano no gyaa ahiafo a wonni hwee no mu bi wɔ Yuda asase so, na saa bere no ɔmaa wɔn bobe nturo ne nsase.
11 UNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni waselaya ngesandla sikaNebuzaradani induna yabalindi ngoJeremiya esithi:
Na Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar afa ɔsahene Nebusaradan a otua ɔhene awɛmfo ano no so ama saa ɔhyɛ nsɛm yi a ɛfa Yeremia ho se,
12 Mthathe, umise amehlo akho kuye, ungamenzeli ulutho olubi, kodwa njengokukhuluma kwakhe kuwe wenze njalo ngaye.
“Fa no na hwɛ no so; nhaw no na nea obisa biara no, yɛ ma no.”
13 Ngakho bathuma oNebuzaradani induna yabalindi, loNebushazibani, uRabisarisi, loNerigali-Sharezi, uRabimagi, lazo zonke induna zenkosi yeBhabhiloni,
Enti ɔsahene Nebusaradan a otua awɛmfo no ano, Nebusaradan, adwumayɛfo panyin, Nergal-Sareser a ɔyɛ otitiriw ne Babiloniahene adwumayɛfo a wɔaka no nyinaa
14 bathuma, bamthatha uJeremiya egumeni lentolongo, bamnikela kuGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, ukuze amkhuphe amuse endlini yakhe. Wasehlala phakathi kwabantu.
soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yeremia fii awɛmfo adiwo hɔ bae. Wɔde no hyɛɛ Safan babarima Gedalia babarima Ahikam nsa sɛ ɔmfa no nkɔ ne fi. Enti Yeremia tenaa nʼankasa nkurɔfo mu.
15 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya esavalelwe egumeni lentolongo, lisithi:
Bere a Yeremia da so da afiase wɔ awɛmfo adiwo hɔ no, Awurade asɛm baa ne nkyɛn se,
16 Hamba ukhulume kuEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangela, ngizakwehlisela amazwi ami kulumuzi ngokubi kungeyisikho ngokuhle, njalo azakuba phambi kwakho ngalolosuku.
“Kɔka kyerɛ Kusni Ebed-Melek se, ‘Sɛnea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se ni: Me nsɛm a etia kuropɔn yi, mede refa amanehunu so na ɛnyɛ yiyedi so ama aba mu. Saa bere no ɛbɛba mu wɔ wʼanim.
17 Kodwa ngizakophula ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, njalo kawuyikunikelwa esandleni sabantu obesabayo.
Nanso megye wo saa da no, Awurade na ose; wɔremfa wo nhyɛ wɔn a wusuro wɔn no nsa.
18 Ngoba ngizakukhulula isibili, kawuyikuwa-ke ngenkemba, kodwa impilo yakho izakuba yimpango kuwe, ngoba uthembele kimi, itsho iNkosi.
Megye wo nkwa, na worentɔ wɔ afoa ano na mmom wubenya wo ti adidi mu, efisɛ wugye me di, Awurade, na ose.’”
