UJeremiya 47

1 Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi limelene lamaFilisti, uFaro engakatshayi iGaza.

Ansa na Farao bɛtow ahyɛ Gasa so no, eyi ne Awurade asɛm a ɛfa Filistifo ho a ɛbaa odiyifo Yeremia nkyɛn:

2 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, amanzi azakhukhumala evela enyakatho, azakuba yisifula esikhukhulayo, akhukhule ilizwe lokugcwala kwalo, umuzi labahlala kiwo; labantu bazakhala, labo bonke abakhileyo belizwe bazaqhinqa isililo,

Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Monhwɛ sɛnea nsu rebobɔ ba wɔ atifi fam; ɛbɛyɛ ɔhweam a abu afa so. Ebebu afa asase no ne biribiara ɛwɔ so no so, nkurow no ne nnipa a wɔtete mu. Nnipa no bɛteɛteɛ mu; wɔn a wɔte asase no so nyinaa betwa adwo

3 ngomsindo wokugidiza kwamasondo amabhiza akhe alamandla, ngomdumo wenqola zakhe, inhlokomo yamavili akhe; oyise kabanyemukuli kubantwana ngenxa yokuyekethiswa kwezandla;

bere a wɔate apɔnkɔ a wotu mmirika no anan ase nnyigyei, na wɔate atamfo no nteaseɛnam gyegyeegye ne wɔn ntwahonan nnyigyei no. Agyanom rentwa wɔn ani nhwɛ wɔn mma; wɔn nsa bɛsensɛn wɔn ho kwa.

4 ngenxa yosuku oluzayo ukuchitha wonke amaFilisti, ukuquma asuke eTire leSidoni wonke umsizi oseleyo; ngoba iNkosi izawachitha amaFilisti, insali yesihlenge seKafitori.

Na da no aba sɛ wɔsɛe Filistifo no nyinaa na wotwa wɔn a wɔaka no nyinaa gu, wɔn a anka wotumi boa Tiro ne Sidon no. Awurade rebɛsɛe Filistifo no, nkae a wofi Kreta mpoano no.

5 Ubumpabanga sebufikile eGaza, iAshikeloni iqunyiwe, insali yesihotsha sabo; uzazisika kuze kube nini?

Gasa bɛbɔ tikwaw bere a ɔretwa adwo; wɔbɛma Askelon atɔ mum. Mo nkae a mowɔ tataw so, mobɛbobɔ mo ho akam akosi da bɛn?

6 Hawu, nkemba yeNkosi; koze kube nini ungathuli? Zibuthele emgodleni wakho, phumula, uthule.

“‘Aa, Awurade afoa,’ ‘da bɛn na wobɛhome? San kɔhyɛ wo boha mu; gyae na da komm.’

7 Ungathula njani, lapho iNkosi iyilawulile? Imelene leAshikeloni, imelene lokhumbi lolwandle, lapho iyimisele khona.

Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na ada komm bere a Awurade ahyɛ no bere a wahyɛ no se ɔnkɔtow nhyɛ Askelon ne mpoano asase no so?”
