< UJeremiya 43 >

1 Kwasekusithi lapho uJeremiya eseqedile ukukhuluma kubo bonke abantu wonke amazwi eNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo eyayimthume ngawo kibo, ngitsho wonke lamazwi;
Bere a Yeremia wiee nsɛm a efi Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn nkyɛn no ka no, biribiara a Awurade asoma no sɛ ɔmmɛka nkyerɛ wɔn no,
2 wasekhuluma uAzariya indodana kaHoshaya, loJohanani indodana kaKareya, labo bonke abantu abazikhukhumezayo, besithi kuJeremiya: Uqamba amanga. INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu kayikuthumanga ukuze uthi: Lingayi eGibhithe ukuze lihlale njengabezizwe khona;
Hosaia babarima Asaria, Karea babarima Yohanan ne mmarima ahomasofo no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia se, “Woredi atoro! Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, nsomaa wo se bɛka se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ mokɔ Misraim kɔtena hɔ.’
3 kodwa uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya uyakukhuthaza emelene lathi, ukuze asinikele esandleni samaKhaladiya, ukuze asibulale, asithumbele eBhabhiloni.
Na mmom Neria babarima Baruk na ɔregyigye wo so tia yɛn ama wɔde yɛn ahyɛ Babiloniafo nsa, sɛnea wobekum yɛn anaa wɔbɛsoa yɛn de yɛn akɔ nkoasom mu wɔ Babilonia.”
4 Ngakho uJohanani indodana kaKareya, lazo zonke induna zamabutho, labo bonke abantu, kabalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi, ukuze bahlale elizweni lakoJuda.
Enti Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafo mpanyimfo no nyinaa ne nnipa no anni Awurade hyɛ a ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔntena Yuda asase so no so.
5 Kodwa uJohanani indodana kaKareya lazo zonke induna zamabutho bathatha yonke insali yakoJuda eyayibuyele ivela kuzo zonke izizwe lapho ababexotshelwe khona, ukuhlala elizweni lakoJuda;
Mmom Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafo mpanyimfo no nyinaa de Yuda nkae a wofi amanaman a wɔbɔɔ wɔn ahwete kɔɔ so no so na wɔaba sɛ wɔrebɛtena Yuda asase so no nyinaa kɔe.
6 amadoda, labafazi, labantwana, lamadodakazi enkosi, laye wonke umuntu uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi ayebatshiye kuGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu indodana kaShafani, loJeremiya umprofethi, loBharukhi indodana kaNeriya.
Wɔde mmarima, mmea, mmofra ne ɔhene mmabea a ɔsahene Nebusaradan, a ɔyɛ ɔhene awɛmfo panyin no, de wɔn gyaw Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nena, odiyifo Yeremia ne Neria babarima Baruk nso kɔe.
7 Basebengena elizweni leGibhithe, ngoba kabalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi; basebefika eThahaphanesi.
Enti wɔhyɛn Misraim a wɔanni Awurade asɛm so, na wokoduu Tapanhes.
8 Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi kuJeremiya eThahaphanesi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn wɔ Tapanhes se,
9 Thatha esandleni sakho amatshe amakhulu, uwafihle ebumbeni ewondweni, esekungeneni kwendlu kaFaro eThahaphanesi, emehlweni amadoda angamaJuda,
“Bere a Yudafo no rehwɛ no, fa abo akɛse, afei tutu fam wɔ birikisi nsɛwee a ɛwɔ Farao ahemfi a ɛwɔ Tapanhes abobow ano hɔ, na fa gu mu kata so.
10 uthi kiwo: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangelani, ngizathuma ngilande uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni inceku yami, ngifake isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwalamatshe engiwafihlileyo, endlale ithente lakhe lesikhosini phezu kwawo.
Afei ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Mɛsoma me somfo Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar, na mede nʼahengua besi saa abo a masi wɔ ha no so; na ɔbɛtrɛw nʼadehye kyinii mu wɔ so.
11 Eze atshaye ilizwe leGibhithe; labo abokufa ekufeni, lalabo abokuthunjwa ekuthunjweni, lalabo abenkemba enkembeni.
Ɔbɛba abɛtow ahyɛ Misraim so, na obekum wɔn a wɔahyɛ sɛ wonkum wɔn no, ɔbɛfa wɔn a wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔnkɔ nnommum mu no nnommum, na wɔn a wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔmfa wɔn mma afoa no, wɔde wɔn bɛma afoa.
12 Ngiphembe umlilo ezindlini zabonkulunkulu beGibhithe, abatshise, abathumbe, azithandele ngelizwe leGibhithe njengomelusi ezithandela ngesigqoko sakhe, aphume khona ngokuthula.
Ɔbɛto Misraim anyame asɔredan mu gya, ahyew na wɔafa wɔn anyame no nnommum. Sɛnea oguanhwɛfo de nʼatade kyekyere ne ho no, saa ara na ɔde Misraim bɛkyekyere ne ho na wafi hɔ akɔ a ne ho baabiara renti.
13 Njalo uzakwephula insika zeBetshemeshi eziyizithombe eziselizweni leGibhithe, atshise ngomlilo izindlu zabonkulunkulu beGibhithe.
Owia asɔredan a ɛwɔ Misraim no, obebubu nʼafadum kronkron no, na wahyew Misraim anyame asɔredan no dwerɛbee.’”
