Eyi ne asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa odiyifo Yeremia hɔ a ɛfa aman no ho.
2 limelene leGibhithe, limelene lebutho likaFaro Neko inkosi yeGibhithe, elalingasemfuleni iYufrathi, eKarikemishi, alitshayayo uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda:
Nea ɛfa Misraim ho: Eyi ne nsɛm a etia Misraimhene Farao Neko asraafo a Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar dii wɔn so nkonim wɔ Karkemis, Asubɔnten Eufrate ho wɔ Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim adedi afe a ɛto so anan no:
3 Hlelani ihawu lesihlangu, lisondele empini.
“Siesie wo nkatabo akɛse ne nketewa nyinaa, na muntu santen nkɔ ɔsa!
4 Bophelani amabhiza, ligade, bagadi bamabhiza, lizimise lilezingowane, lilole imikhonto, ligqoke amabhatshi ensimbi.
Munsiesie apɔnkɔ no, na momforo ntenatena wɔn so. Munnyinagyina mo afa a mohyehyɛ mo nnade kyɛw! Monsew mo mpeaw ano, na monhyɛ mo nkatabo.
5 Ngibaboneleni betshaywa luvalo, bebuyela emuva? Lamaqhawe abo ephulaphuliwe, ayabaleka ngesiqubu, kawanyemukuli emuva; kulokwesaba inhlangothi zonke, itsho iNkosi.
Dɛn na mihu? Wɔabɔ hu, wɔresan wɔn akyi, wɔn dɔmmarima adi nkogu. Woguan ntɛm so a wɔnhwɛ wɔn akyi, na ehu wɔ baabiara,” Awurade na ose.
6 Olejubane kangabaleki, leqhawe kalingaphunyuki; bazakhubeka bawele ngenyakatho eceleni komfula iYufrathi.
Ɔhoɔharefo ntumi nguan, na ɔhoɔdenfo nso saa ara. Atifi fam wɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho wohintihintiw na wɔhwehwe ase.
7 Ngubani lo okhukhumala njengesifula, omanzi aso aqubuka njengomfula?
“Hena, na ɔma ne homene so sɛ Asubɔnten Nil, sɛ nsubɔnten a mu nsu woro yi?
8 IGibhithe ikhukhumala njengesifula, lamanzi aqubuka njengemifula; ithi: Ngizakhukhumala, ngiwusibekele umhlaba, ngichithe umuzi labahlala kiwo.
Misraim ma ne homene so sɛ Nil, sɛ nsubɔnten a mu nsu woro. Ɔka se, ‘Mɛsɔre akata asase no so; mɛsɛe nkuropɔn ne mu nnipa.’
9 Yenyukani mabhiza, lihlanye zinqola; kawaphume amaqhawe; amaEthiyophiya, lamaPuti aphatha isihlangu, lamaLudi aphatha anyathela idandili.
Monkɔ mo anim, apɔnkɔ! Monka wɔn anibere so, mo nteaseɛnamkafo! Muntu nteɛ, dɔmmarima, Kus ne Put mmarima a mukura nkatabo, Lidia mmarima a motow agyan.
10 Ngoba lolu lusuku lweNkosi uJehova wamabandla, usuku lwempindiselo, ukuthi iziphindisele ezitheni zayo; lenkemba izakudla, isuthe, idakwe ligazi labo; ngoba iNkosi uJehova wamabandla ilomhlatshelo elizweni lenyakatho ngasemfuleni iYufrathi.
Nanso da no yɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade dea, aweretɔda, nʼatamfo so aweretɔ. Afoa bekunkum akosi sɛ ɔbɛmee, akosi bere a ɔde mogya bedwudwo ne osukɔm ano. Efisɛ, Awurade, Asafo Awurade bɛbɔ afɔre wɔ atifi fam asase a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho no so.
11 Yenyukela eGileyadi, uyethatha ibhalisamu, ntombi emsulwa, ndodakazi yeGibhithe; imithi uyandisela ize, kakulakwelatshwa kuwe.
“Foro kɔ Gilead kogye aduru Misraim Babea Ɔbabun. Nanso nnuru bebrebe a wofa no yɛ ɔkwa, ayaresa biara nni hɔ ma wo.
12 Izizwe zizwile ihlazo lakho, lomhlaba ugcwele ukukhala kwakho; ngoba akhubekile, iqhawe limelene leqhawe, womabili awele phansi ndawonye.
Amanaman no bɛte wʼanimguase; wʼagyaadwo bɛhyɛ asase so ma. Ɔkofo baako behintiw afa ɔfoforo so; na wɔn baanu bɛbɔ mu ahwe ase.”
13 Ilizwi iNkosi eyalikhuluma kuJeremiya umprofethi ngokuza kukaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni ukutshaya ilizwe leGibhithe:
Eyi ne asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ odiyifo Yeremia a ɛfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ba a ɔbɛba abɛtow ahyɛ Misraim so:
14 Memezelani eGibhithe, lizwakalise eMigidoli, lizwakalise eNofi leThahaphanesi, lithi: Zimise, uzilungiselele, ngoba inkemba izakudla inhlangothi zonke zakho.
“Mommɔ eyi ho dawuru wɔ Misraim, na mompae mu nka wɔ Migdol; monka wɔ Memfis ne Tapanhes nso se, ‘Munnyinagyina na monyɛ krado, efisɛ, afoa rekunkum wɔn a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia.’
15 Kungani amadoda akho alamandla ekhukhuliwe? Kawemanga ngoba iNkosi iwafuqile.
Adɛn nti na mo dɔmmarima bɛbotow sɛɛ? Wɔrentumi nnyina, efisɛ, Awurade bɛbɔ wɔn ahwe fam.
16 Yandisa abakhubekayo, yebo, omunye wawela phezu komunye; basebesithi: Sukumani, sibuyele ebantwini bakithi, lelizweni lokuzalwa kwethu, sisuke enkembeni ecindezelayo.
Wobehintihintiw atoatoa so; wɔbɛhwehwe ase adeda wɔn ho wɔn ho so. Wɔbɛka se, ‘Monsɔre, momma yɛnkɔ yɛn nkyi nkɔ yɛn nkurɔfo nkyɛn ne faako a wɔwoo yɛn, na yemfi nhyɛsofo no afoa ano.’
17 Bamemeza khona, bathi: UFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ungumsindo; udlulise isikhathi esimisiweyo.
Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛteɛ mu se, ‘Misraimhene Farao tu ne ho kwa; nʼakwannya a ɔwɔ no atwa mu.’
18 Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo yiNkosi yamabandla: Isibili njengeThabhori phakathi kwezintaba lanjengeKharmeli ngaselwandle uzafika.
“Ampa ara sɛ mete ase yi” Ɔhene a ne din ne Asafo Awurade na ose, “Ɔbaako bɛba a ɔte sɛ Tabor wɔ mmepɔw no mu, sɛ Karmel wɔ mpoano.
19 Zenzele izikhali zokuthunjwa, ndodakazi ehlala eGibhithe; ngoba iNofi izakuba yincithakalo, itshiswe, kungabi lomhlali.
Mommoaboa mo nneɛma ano ntwɛn nnommumfa, mo a motete Misraim, efisɛ wɔbɛsɛe Memfis kurow na ɛbɛda mpan a obiara rentena mu.
20 IGibhithe ilithokazi elihle kakhulu; isibawu siyeza, sivela enyakatho.
“Misraim yɛ nantwi ba bere a ne ho yɛ fɛ, nanso ɔtɛn bi fi atifi fam reba ne so.
21 Labaqhatshiweyo bayo phakathi kwayo banjengethole lesibaya; ngoba labo baphendukile, babaleka kanyekanye; kabemanga, ngoba usuku lokuhlupheka kwabo lubehlele, isikhathi sempindiselo yabo.
Asraafo apaafo a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no te sɛ nantwimma a wɔadodɔ srade. Wɔn nso bɛdan wɔn ho abɔ mu aguan, wɔrentumi nnyina wɔn anan so, efisɛ amanehunu da no reba wɔn so, bere a wɔde bɛtwe wɔn aso no.
22 Ilizwi layo lizahamba njengenyoka; ngoba bazahamba lebutho, beze kuyo belamahloka, njengabagamuli bezihlahla.
Misraim bɛteɛ mu sɛ ɔwɔ a ɔreguan bere a ɔtamfo de ahoɔden reba ne so no; wɔde mmonnua bɛba ne so te sɛ, mmarima a wobu nnua.
23 Bagamule ihlathi layo, itsho iNkosi, lanxa lingephenywe, ngoba banengi okwedlula isikhonyane, kabalakubalwa.
Wɔbɛsɛe ne kwae,” Awurade na ose, “sɛnea ayɛ kusuu yi mpo. Wɔdɔɔso bebree sen mmoadabi, na wɔrentumi nkan wɔn.
24 Indodakazi yamaGibhithe izayangeka, izanikelwa esandleni sabantu benyakatho.
Wobegu Misraim Babea anim ase, wɔde no bɛhyɛ atifi fam nnipa no nsa.”
25 INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ithi: Khangela, ngizajezisa uAmoni weNo, loFaro, leGibhithe, labonkulunkulu bayo, lamakhosi ayo, yebo uFaro labathembela kuye.
Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka se, “Mede asotwe reba Tebes nyame Amon, Farao, Misraim ne nʼanyame ne nʼahemfo ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to Farao so no so.
26 Ngibanikele esandleni salabo abadinga impilo yabo, lesandleni sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, lesandleni senceku zakhe; lemva kwalokho ihlalwe njengensukwini zendulo, itsho iNkosi.
Mede wɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wokum wɔn no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne nʼadwumayɛfo no nsa. Nanso akyiri no, nnipa bɛtena Misraim asase so te sɛ kan no,” Awurade na ose.
27 Kodwa wena, ungesabi, nceku yami Jakobe, ungatshaywa luvalo, Israyeli, ngoba khangela, ngizakusindisa usekhatshana, lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo; uJakobe uzaphenduka-ke, athule, onwabe, njalo kakho ozamethusa.
“Nsuro, Yakob me somfo; nni yaw, Israel. Ampa ara megye wo afi beae a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri, ne wʼasefo afi wɔn nnommumfa asase so Yakob bɛsan anya asomdwoe ne bammɔ, na obiara renhunahuna no.
28 Wena, ungesabi, nceku yami Jakobe, itsho iNkosi, ngoba ngilawe; ngoba ngizaqeda ngokupheleleyo zonke izizwe engikuxotshele kuzo, kodwa kangiyikukuqeda ngokupheleleyo, ngikukhuze ngokufaneleyo, kodwa kangiyikukuyekela lokukuyekela ungajeziswanga.
Nsuro, Yakob me somfo; na me ne wo wɔ hɔ,” Awurade na ose. “Ɛwɔ mu, mesɛe aman no nyinaa koraa aman a mehwetee mo kɔɔ so no de, nanso merensɛe mo korakora. Mede trenee nko ara na ɛbɛteɛteɛ mo so; meremma mommfa mo ho nni a merentwe mo aso.”
