UJeremiya 51
1 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela ngizavusela iBhabhiloni lalabo abahlala enhliziyweni yalabo abangivukelayo umoya ochithayo.
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Monhwɛ, mɛkanyane ɔsɛefoɔ bi honhom atia Babilonia ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Leb Kamai.
2 Ngithume eBhabhiloni abelayo, abazakuyela, bathulule ilizwe layo, ngoba bazamelana layo bevela inhlangothi zonke ngosuku lobubi.
Mɛsoma amanfrafoɔ akɔ Babilonia sɛ wɔnkɔhuhu ne so na wɔnsɛe nʼasase; wɔbɛtia no wɔ afanan nyinaa wɔ nʼamanehunu da no.
3 Kakuthi otshokayo agobise idandili lakhe emelene loligobisayo, njalo emelene loziphakamisayo ebhatshini lakhe lensimbi; njalo lingawayekeli amajaha ayo, lilitshabalalise ibutho layo lonke.
Mma agyantoni mpoma nʼagyan, mma ɔnhyɛ ne nkataboɔ. Mma ne mmeranteɛ mfa wɔn ho nni; sɛe nʼakodɔm no pasaa.
4 Ngokunjalo ababuleweyo bazakuwa elizweni lamaKhaladiya, labagwazwe ezitaladeni zayo.
Wɔbɛhwehwe ase a wɔatotɔ wɔ Babilonia, a wɔapirapira yie wɔ ne mmɔntene so.
5 Ngoba uIsrayeli kayikutshiywa, loJuda nguNkulunkulu wabo, yiNkosi yamabandla, lanxa ilizwe labo ligcwele icala koNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
Na Asafo Onyankopɔn Awurade, nnyaa Israel ne Yuda hɔ. Ɛwom sɛ afɔdie ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma wɔ Israel Ɔkronkronni no anim, nanso ɔkɔ so ara yɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
6 Balekani liphume phakathi kweBhabhiloni, likhulule ngulowo lalowo umphefumulo wakhe; lingaqunywa esiphambekweni sayo; ngoba lesi yisikhathi sempindiselo yeNkosi, ophindisela impindiselo kuyo.
“Monnwane mfiri Babilonia! Montu mmirika mpere mo nkwa! Mommma wɔnsɛe mo ɛsiane wɔn bɔne enti. Awurade aweretɔberɛ aso; ɔde deɛ ɛfata no bɛtua wɔn ka.
7 IBhabhiloni yayiyinkezo yegolide esandleni seNkosi, eyayidakisa umhlaba wonke; izizwe zanatha okwewayini layo; ngenxa yalokho izizwe zahlanya.
Na Babilonia yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ kuruwa wɔ Awurade nsam; ɔmaa asase nyinaa boroo nsã. Aman no nom ne nsã; ɛno enti, afei, wɔabobɔ adam.
8 IBhabhiloni yahle yawa, yephuka; qhinqani isililo ngayo, lithathele ubuhlungu bayo ibhalisamu, mhlawumbe ingelatshwa.
Babilonia bɛhwe ase abubu mpofirim. Montwa ne ho agyaadwoɔ! Mompɛ ne yea no ano aduro; ebia ne ho bɛtɔ no.
9 Besingayelapha iBhabhiloni, kodwa kayelaphekanga; itshiyeni, asihambeni ngulowo lalowo aye elizweni lakhe; ngoba isigwebo sayo sifinyelele emazulwini, siphakanyisiwe kwaze kwafika esibhakabhakeni.
“‘Anka yɛbɛsa Babilonia yadeɛ, nanso wɔntumi nsa no yadeɛ; momma yɛnnya no hɔ na obiara nkɔ nʼankasa asase so, ɛfiri sɛ nʼatemmuo aduru ɔsorosoro. Ɛforo ɔsoro te sɛ omununkum.’
10 INkosi ikhuphe ukulunga kwethu; wozani, silandise eZiyoni umsebenzi weNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
“‘Awurade abu yɛn bem. Mommra, momma yɛnka wɔ Sion, deɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn ayɛ.’
11 Lolani imitshoko, liqoqe izihlangu; iNkosi ivusile umoya wamakhosi amaMede; ngoba icebo layo limelene leBhabhiloni ukuyichitha; ngoba lokho kuyimpindiselo yeNkosi, impindiselo yethempeli layo.
“Monse agyan no ano! Momfa nkataboɔ no! Awurade ahwanyane Mede ahemfo no, ɛfiri sɛ ne botaeɛ ne sɛ ɔbɛsɛe Babilonia. Awurade bɛtɔ were aweretɔ ama nʼasɔrefie no.
12 Phakamisani isiboniso phezu kwemiduli yeBhabhiloni, liqinise ukulinda, libeke abalindi, lilungise abacathami, ngoba iNkosi isikucebile, futhi izakwenza lokho ekukhulume ngabahlali beBhabhiloni.
Mompagya frankaa bi ntia Babilonia afasuo! Mommia banbɔ mu, momma awɛmfoɔ no nnyinagyina. Monsiesie ahintaeɛ! Awurade bɛma nʼatirimpɔ aba mu, deɛ wahyɛ atia Babilonia no.
13 Wena ohlala emanzini amanengi, owande ngamagugu, ukuphela kwakho sekufikile, isilinganiso senzuzo yakho embi.
Mo a motete nsuwansuwa bebree ho na akoradeɛ abu mo so, mo awieeɛ aba, ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa mo twene no.
14 INkosi yamabandla ifungile ngomphefumulo wayo yathi: Isibili ngizakugcwalisa ngabantu njengamacimbi, njalo bazahlabelela umkhosi ngawe.
Asafo Awurade aka ne ho ntam sɛ: mede nnipa bɛhyɛ wo ma sɛ mmɛbɛ, na wɔabɔ ose wɔ wo so.
15 Wenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe, walimisa ilizwe ngenhlakanipho yakhe, langokuqedisisa kwakhe wendlala amazulu.
“Ɔde ne tumi bɔɔ asase; ɔtoo ewiase fapem wɔ ne nyansa mu na ɔde ne nhunumu trɛɛ ɔsorosoro mu.
16 Lapho ekhupha ilizwi lakhe, kulokuhlokoma kwamanzi amanengi emazulwini, ukhuphula inkungu ivela emkhawulweni womhlaba, enze imibane kanye lezulu, akhuphe umoya eziphaleni zakhe.
Sɛ ɔbobɔm a, ɔsoro nsuo woro so; ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so firi nsase ano. Ɔsoma anyinam ka ɔsutɔ ho na ɔma mframa bɔ firi nʼakoradan mu.
17 Wonke umuntu uyisiphukuphuku kalalwazi; wonke umkhandi wegolide uyangiswa yisithombe esibaziweyo, ngoba isithombe sakhe esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa siyinkohliso, njalo kakulamoya kuzo.
“Onipa biara nnim nyansa, na ɔnni nimdeɛ; sikadwumfoɔ biara anim agu ase, ɛsiane nʼahoni enti. Ne nsɛsodeɛ yɛ atorɔ; wɔnni ahome biara wɔ wɔn mu.
18 Ziyize, umsebenzi wezinkohliso; ngesikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwazo zizabhubha.
Wɔn ho nni mfasoɔ, wɔyɛ aseredeɛ nneɛma; sɛ wɔn atemmuo duru so a, wɔbɛyera.
19 Isabelo sikaJakobe kasinjengazo; ngoba yena nguye umbumbi wakho konke, loIsrayeli uyintonga yelifa lakhe; iNkosi yamabandla libizo lakhe.
Deɛ ɔyɛ Yakob Kyɛfa no nte sɛ yeinom, ɛfiri sɛ ɔno ne adeɛ nyinaa Yɛfoɔ a nʼadedie abusuakuo ka ho bi. Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
20 Wena uyinduku yami yempi, izikhali zempi; ngoba ngawe ngizaphahlaza izizwe, langawe ngichithe imibuso,
“Woyɛ me ko asaeɛ, mʼakodeɛ a mede kɔ ɔsa; mede wo dwerɛ amanaman, mede wo sɛe ahennie bebree,
21 langawe ngiphahlaze ibhiza lomgadi walo, langawe ngiphahlaze inqola lomkhweli wayo,
mede wo bobɔ apɔnkɔ ne wɔn sotefoɔ, teaseɛnam ne wɔn kafoɔ,
22 langawe ngiphahlaze indoda lowesifazana, langawe ngiphahlaze ixhegu lomutsha, langawe ngiphahlaze ijaha lentombi,
mede wo dwerɛ mmarima ne mmaa, mede wo dwerɛ nkɔkoraa ne mmabunu, mede wo dwerɛ mmeranteɛ ne mmabaawa,
23 langawe ngiphahlaze umelusi lomhlambi wakhe, langawe ngiphahlaze umlimi lesipani sakhe, langawe ngiphahlaze ababusi lezinduna.
mede wo dwerɛ nnwanhwɛfoɔ ne nnwankuo, mede wo dwerɛ akuafoɔ ne anantwie, mede wo dwerɛ amradofoɔ ne adwumayɛfoɔ.
24 Njalo ngizayiphindisela iBhabhiloni labo bonke abahlali beKhaladiya konke okubi kwabo abakwenzileyo eZiyoni emehlweni enu, itsho iNkosi.
“Mɛtua Babilonia ne wɔn a wɔtete Babilonia ka wɔ mfomsoɔ a wɔayɛ wɔ Sion nyinaa, wɔ wʼanim,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
25 Khangela, ngimelana lawe, wena ntaba echithayo, itsho iNkosi, echitha umhlaba wonke; ngizakwelulela isandla sami kuwe, ngikugiqe usuke emadwaleni, ngikwenze ube yintaba yokutshiswa.
“Ao, bepɔ sɛefoɔ me ne wo anya, wo a wosɛe asase nyinaa no,” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Mɛtene me nsa wɔ wo so mɛpia wo afiri abotan no so, na mayɛ wo sɛ bepɔ a ɛnka hwee.
26 Njalo kabayikuthatha kuwe ilitshe libe ngelengonsi, lelitshe libe ngelezisekelo; ngoba uzakuba ngamanxiwa aphakade, itsho iNkosi.
Wɔremfa ɔboɔ biara mfiri wo so nyɛ tweatiboɔ anaa sɛ fapem mpo, ɛfiri sɛ wobɛda mpan afebɔɔ,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
27 Phakamisani isiboniso elizweni, livuthele uphondo phakathi kwezizwe, lilungise izizwe ukumelana layo, liyibizele ndawonye imibuso yeArarathi, iMini, leAshikenazi; libeke umlawuli webutho emelene layo, lenyuse amabhiza njengentethe ezimaxhakaxhaka.
“Mompagya frankaa wɔ asase no so! Monhyɛn totorobɛnto no wɔ amanaman no mu! Monsiesie amanaman no ma wɔnkɔko ntia no; Momfrɛfrɛ saa ahennie ahodoɔ yi ntia no: Ararat, Mini ne Askenas. Monnyi ɔsahene ntia no; momfa apɔnkɔdɔm te sɛ mmɛbɛ mmra.
28 Lungisani izizwe ukumelana layo, amakhosi amaMede, induna zayo, lababusi bayo bonke, lelizwe lonke lombuso wayo.
Monsiesie amanaman no ma wɔntu ne so sa, mo ne Mede ahemfo, wɔn amradofoɔ ne wɔn adwumayɛfoɔ nyinaa, ne aman a wɔdi wɔn so nyinaa.
29 Lelizwe lizazamazama libe lobuhlungu, ngoba ngalinye lamacebo eNkosi lima limelene leBhabhiloni, ukwenza ilizwe leBhabhiloni libe yincithakalo engelamhlali.
Asase no woso, na ɔnukanuka ne mu, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade atirimpɔ a ɛtia Babilonia sɛ ɔbɛsɛe Babilonia asase a obiara rentumi ntena so no nsesaeɛ.
30 Amaqhawe eBhabhiloni ayekele ukulwa, ahlala ezinqabeni, amandla awo aphelile, sebengabesifazana; bathungele indawo zayo zokuhlala, imigoqo yayo yephukile.
Babilonia nnɔmmarima agyae ko; wɔhyehyɛ wɔn aban mu. Wɔn ahoɔden asa; wɔayɛ sɛ mmaa. Wɔatoto nʼatenaeɛ ahodoɔ no mu ogya, na wɔabubu nʼapono akyi adaban.
31 Isigijimi sizagijima ukuhlangana lesigijimi, lombiki ukuhlangana lombiki, ukutshela inkosi yeBhabhiloni ukuthi umuzi wayo uthunjiwe kusukela ekucineni,
Abɔfoɔ didi so asomafoɔ didi so a wɔrekɔbɔ Babiloniahene amaneɛ sɛ, wɔafa ne kuropɔn no,
32 lamazibuko abanjiwe, lamaxhaphozi atshiswe ngomlilo, lamadoda empi ethukile.
wɔagye atwaeɛ a ɛdeda asubɔnten no so afa, na wɔde ogya ato ɔwora no mu, na asraafoɔ no abɔ huboa.”
33 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Indodakazi yeBhabhiloni injengebala lokubhulela; kuyisikhathi sokuyinyathela; kuseyisikhatshana, lesikhathi sesivuno sizafika kuyo.
Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: “Ɔbabaa Babilonia ayɛ sɛ ayuporobea wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔretiatia hɔ. Aka kakraa bi, na ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no sɛ nnɔbaeɛ no aduru.”
34 UNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni ungidlile, ungichobozile; wangibeka ngaba yimbiza engelalutho, wangiginya njengomgobho, wagcwalisa isisu sakhe ngezibondlo zami, wangixotsha.
“Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar adwerɛ yɛn, ɔde yɛn ato ɔhaw mu, wayɛ yɛn sɛ ahina a hwee nni muo. Wamene yɛn sɛ ɔtweaseɛ no na ɔde yɛn nneɛma a ɛyɛ dɛ ahyɛ ne yafunu ma, na wape yɛn afiri nʼanom agu.
35 Udlakela lwami lolwenyama yami kube phezu kweBhabhiloni, utsho umhlalikazi weZiyoni; legazi lami libe phezu kwabahlali beKhaladiya, itsho iJerusalema.
Ma ayakayakadeɛ a wɔde dii yɛn honam no mmra Babilonia so,” nnipa a wɔtete Sion na wɔka. “Ma yɛn mogya ngu wɔn a wɔtete Babilonia so,” Yerusalem na ɔka.
36 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizalumela udaba lwakho, ngiphindisele impindiselo yakho; ngomise ulwandle lwayo, ngenze umthombo wayo wome.
Enti yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Hwɛ, mɛdi mo asɛm ama mo na matɔ were ama mo; Mɛma ɛpo a ɛwɔ no no awe na mama ne asutene awewe.
37 LeBhabhiloni izakuba ngamadundulu, indawo yokuhlala yemigobho, isesabiso, lento yokuncifelwa, kungelamhlali.
Babilonia bɛyɛ mmubuiɛ sie, sakraman atu ahodwiredeɛ ne fɛdideɛ, baabi a obiara nteɛ.
38 Bazabhonga kanyekanye njengamabhongo ezilwane, bahwabhe njengemidlwane yezilwane.
Ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa bobom sɛ agyata, wɔpɔ so te sɛ agyata mma.
39 Ekutshisekeni kwabo ngizabenzela amadili, ngibadakise ukuze bathokoze, balale ubuthongo obulaphakade, bangavuki, itsho iNkosi.
Nanso ɛberɛ a wɔahwanyane wɔn ho no mɛto ɛpono ama wɔn na mama wɔaboboro nsã sɛdeɛ wɔde nteateam bɛdi ahurisie, na wɔadeda a wɔrennyane bio,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
40 Ngizabehlisa njengamawundlu ekuhlatshweni, njengezinqama kanye lezimpongo.
“Mede wɔn bɛba te sɛ nnwammaa a wɔrekɔkum wɔn, te sɛ, nnwennini ne mpapo.
41 Ithunjwe njani iSheshaki; yebo, lubanjiwe udumo lomhlaba wonke! IBhabhiloni isibe njani yisesabiso phakathi kwezizwe!
“Wɔbɛfa Sesak, Sesak a agye asase nyinaa ayɛyie no! Babilonia bɛyɛ ahodwiredeɛ wɔ amanaman no mu!
42 Ulwandle lukhukhumele phezu kweBhabhiloni, isibekelwe ngobunengi bamagagasi alo.
Ɛpo bɛbunkam afa Babilonia so; na nʼasorɔkye bɛkata ne so.
43 Imizi yayo isingamanxiwa, ilizwe elomileyo, lenkangala, ilizwe okungahlali muntu kulo, okungadluli kulo indodana yomuntu.
Ne nkuro bɛda mpan. Ɛbɛyɛ anweatam a ɛso awo, asase a obiara nte soɔ, na obiara nntu ɛkwan mfa so.
44 Njalo ngizajezisa uBheli eBhabhiloni, ngikhuphe emlonyeni wakhe lokho akuginyileyo; lezizwe kazisayikujulukela kuyo; yebo, umduli weBhabhiloni uwile.
Mɛtwe Bel aso wɔ Babilonia na mama wape deɛ wamene agu. Amanaman no nnto santene nkɔ ne nkyɛn bio. Na Babilonia ɔfasuo bɛbubu.
45 Phumani phakathi kwayo, bantu bami, likhulule ngulowo lalowo umphefumulo wakhe ekuvutheni kolaka lweNkosi.
“Me nkurɔfoɔ, Momfiri ne mu mfi! Montu mmirika mpere mo nkwa! Monnwane mfiri Awurade abufuhyeɛ ano.
46 Njalo hlezi inhliziyo yenu ibe buthakathaka, lesabe ngombiko ozwakala elizweni; ngoba kuzafika umbiko ngomunye umnyaka, lemva kwalokho umbiko ngomnyaka olandelayo, lodlakela elizweni, lombusi avukele umbusi.
Mommma mo bo ntu na monnsuro sɛ mote atesɛm wɔ asase no so a; atesɛm bɛba afeɛ yi na foforɔ bɛba afedan, basabasayɛ ho atesɛm bɛba asase no so a ɛfa sodifoɔ a wɔsɔre tia afoforɔ ho.
47 Ngakho khangela, insuku ziyeza lapho engizahambela izithombe ezibaziweyo zeBhabhiloni; lelizwe lonke layo lizayangeka, lababuleweyo bayo bonke bawele phakathi kwayo.
Na ampa ara ɛberɛ no bɛba a mɛtwe Babilonia ahoni aso; nʼasase no nyinaa anim bɛgu ase na nʼatɔfoɔ nyinaa bɛhwehwe ase wɔ ne so.
48 Kuzakuthi-ke amazulu lomhlaba lakho konke okukukho kuhlabelele ngeBhabhiloni, ngoba abachithi bazayifikela bevela enyakatho, itsho iNkosi.
Ɔsoro ne asase ne deɛ ɛwo mu nyinaa de ahosɛpɛ bɛteam agu Babilonia so, ɛfiri sɛ ɔsɛefoɔ bɛfiri atifi fam abɛto ahyɛ ne so,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
49 Njengalokhu iBhabhiloni yenza bawe ababuleweyo bakoIsrayeli, ngokunjalo ababuleweyo bomhlaba wonke bazakuwa eBhabhiloni.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ Babilonia hwe ase, ɛsiane Israel atɔfoɔ enti, sɛdeɛ atɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ ewiase nyinaa ahwehwe ase ɛsiane Babilonia enti no.
50 Lina eliphunyukileyo enkembeni, hambani, lingemi; khumbulani iNkosi lisekhatshana, leJerusalema ivele enhliziyweni yenu.
Mo a mo adwane afiri akofena ano, monkɔ na monntwentwɛn mo nan ase! Monkae Awurade wɔ akyirikyiri asase so, na monnwene Yerusalem ho.”
51 Siyangekile ngoba sizwile ihlazo; inhloni zisibekele ubuso bethu, ngoba abezizwe sebefikile ezindaweni ezingcwele zendlu yeNkosi.
“Wɔagu yɛn anim ase, ɛfiri sɛ wasopa yɛn na fɛreɛ akata yɛn anim, ɛfiri sɛ amanfrafoɔ ahyɛne Awurade efie kronkronbea ahodoɔ hɔ.”
52 Ngakho khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho engizahambela izithombe zayo ezibaziweyo; lakulo lonke ilizwe layo kuzabubula ogwaziweyo.
“Nanso nna bi reba,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “a mɛtwe nʼahoni aso, na nʼasase so nyinaa apirafoɔ bɛsi apinie.
53 Loba iBhabhiloni ingaphakamela emazulwini, njalo loba ingaqinisa ukuphakama kwamandla ayo, kube kanti abachithi bazayifikela bevela kimi, itsho iNkosi.
Sɛ Babilonia kɔka ɔsoro mpo, na ɔmiamia nʼaban tenten banbɔ mu a, mɛsoma ɔsɛefoɔ abɛtia no,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
54 Kulomsindo wokukhala ovela eBhabhiloni, lokufohlela okukhulu elizweni lamaKhaladiya.
“Osu nnyegyeeɛ bi firi Babilonia, ɔsɛeɛ kɛseɛ bi nnyegyeeɛ firi Babiloniafoɔ asase so.
55 Ngoba iNkosi ichithile iBhabhiloni, yabhubhisa kuyo ilizwi elikhulu. Lapho amagagasi abo ahlokoma njengamanzi amanengi, umsindo wawo uzakhupha ilizwi.
Awurade bɛsɛe Babilonia; ɔbɛma nʼasotuatua nnyegyeeɛ no agyae. Atamfoɔ a wɔte sɛ ahum bɛtu sɛ nsuo akɛseɛ aba ne so; wɔn mmobom bɛgyegye.
56 Ngoba umchithi wehlela phezu kwayo, phezu kweBhabhiloni, amaqhawe ayo azathunjwa, amadandili awo ephukile; ngoba iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wezimpindiselo, uzayivuza sibili.
Ɔsɛefoɔ bi bɛba abɛtia Babilonia; wɔbɛfa ne nnɔmmarima nnommum na wɔbɛbubu wɔn tadua mu. Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔhyɛ anan mu; ɔbɛtua so ka pɛpɛɛpɛ.
57 Ngizadakisa-ke iziphathamandla zayo, lezihlakaniphi zayo, ababusi bayo, lenduna zayo, lamaqhawe ayo; njalo bazalala ubuthongo obulaphakade, bangavuki, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguJehova wamabandla.
Mɛma nʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne nʼanyansafoɔ aboro nsã, nʼamradofoɔ, ne mpanimfoɔ ne nnɔmmarima nso saa ara; wɔbɛdeda afebɔɔ a wɔrennyane,” sei na ɔhempɔn a ne din ne Asafo Awurade no seɛ.
58 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Imiduli ebanzi yeBhabhiloni izadilizwa ngokupheleleyo, lamasango ayo aphakemeyo athungelwe ngomlilo, labantu batshikatshikele ize, lezizwe zitshikatshikele umlilo, zikhathale.
Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ: “Wɔbɛdwiri Babilonia afasuo a ɛtrɛ no agu fam na wɔbɛto nʼapono a ɛwoware no mu ogya; nnipa no ha wɔn ho kwa, ɔman no adwumayɛ ma ogya no dɛre mmom.”
59 Ilizwi uJeremiya umprofethi alilaya uSeraya indodana kaNeriya, indodana kaMahaseya, ekuhambeni kwakhe loZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda ukuya eBhabhiloni emnyakeni wesine wokubusa kwakhe. Njalo uSeraya wayeyisiphathamandla sokuthula.
Yei ne asɛm a Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Neria babarima Seraia a ɔyɛ adwumayɛfoɔ panin na ɔyɛ Maseia nana no, ɛberɛ a ɔne Yudahene Sedekia kɔɔ Babilonia wɔ nʼadedie afe a ɛtɔ so ɛnan no mu.
60 UJeremiya wasebhala egwalweni konke okubi okuzakwehlela iBhabhiloni, wonke lamazwi abhaliweyo emelene leBhabhiloni.
Na Yeremia atwerɛ amanehunu a ɛbɛba Babilonia so no nyinaa agu nwoma mmobɔeɛ so, deɛ watwerɛ a ɛfa Babilonia ho nyinaa.
61 UJeremiya wasesithi kuSeraya: Lapho usufikile eBhabhiloni, ubone ufunde wonke lamazwi.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ Seraia sɛ, “Sɛ woduru Babilonia a, hwɛ sɛ wo bɛkenkan saa nsɛm yi nyinaa sɛdeɛ obiara bɛte.
62 Ubususithi: Nkosi, wena ukhulumile ngalindawo ukuthi uzayiquma, ukuze kungabi khona umhlali kiyo, kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni, kodwa ibe zincithakalo phakade.
Afei, ka sɛ, ‘Ao Awurade, woaka sɛ wobɛsɛe beaeɛ yi sɛdeɛ onipa anaa aboa biara rentumi ntena so; na ɛbɛda mpan afebɔɔ.’
63 Kuzakuthi-ke usuqedile ukulufunda lolugwalo, ubophele ilitshe kulo, uluphosele phakathi kweYufrathi,
Sɛ wokenkane nwoma mmobɔeɛ yi wie a, kyekyere fam ɛboɔ ho, na to twene Asubɔnten Eufrate mu.
64 ubususithi: Ngokunjalo iBhabhiloni izatshona, ingabe isavumbuluka, ngenxa yobubi engizayehlisela bona; njalo bazadinwa. Kuze kube lapha ngamazwi kaJeremiya.
Afei ka sɛ, ‘Sei na Babilonia ne ne nkurɔfoɔ bɛmem a wɔrensɔre bio, ɛsiane amanehunu a mede bɛba ne so no enti.’” Yeremia nsɛm no awieeɛ nie.
