UJeremiya 7
1 Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini lisithi:
Eyi ne asɛm a efi Awurade hɔ baa Yeremia nkyɛn:
2 Mana esangweni lendlu yeNkosi umemezele khona lelilizwi uthi: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, lina bonke bakoJuda, abangena kulamasango ukuzakhonza iNkosi.
“Gyina Awurade asɔredan no pon ano, na ka saa asɛm yi: “‘Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo nnipa a mowɔ Yuda nyinaa a mofa apon yi ano kɔsom Awurade.
3 Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli: Lungisani indlela zenu lezenzo zenu, khona ngizalenza ukuthi lihlale kulindawo.
Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se: Monsakra mo akwan ne mo nneyɛe, na mɛma mo atena ha.
4 Lingathembi lina emazwini amanga okuthi: La alithempeli leNkosi, ithempeli leNkosi, ithempeli leNkosi.
Mommfa mo ho nto nnaadaasɛm so na monnka se, “Eyi ne Awurade asɔredan, Awurade asɔredan, Awurade asɔredan!”
5 Ngoba uba lilungisisa lokulungisa izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu; uba lisenza lokwenza isahlulelo phakathi komuntu lomakhelwane wakhe;
Sɛ mosakra mo akwan ne mo nneyɛe nokware mu, na mo ne mo ho mo ho di no trenee mu,
6 lingacindezeli owezizweni, intandane, lomfelokazi, lingachithi igazi elingelacala kulindawo; futhi lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukuze kube kubi kini;
sɛ moanhyɛ ɔhɔho, ayisaa anaa okunafo so, na moanhwie mogya a edi bem angu wɔ ha, na moanni anyame foforo akyi ankɔ mo ara ɔsɛe mu a,
7 khona ngizalenza ukuthi lihlale kulindawo, elizweni engalinika oyihlo, kusukela endulo kuze kube nininini.
ɛno de, mɛma mo atena ha, asase a mede maa mo agyanom afebɔɔ no so.
8 Khangelani, lina lithembela emazwini amanga angasizi lutho.
Nanso monhwɛ, mode mo ho ato nnaadaa nsɛm a so nni mfaso so.
9 Lizakweba, libulale, lifebe, lifunge amanga, litshisele uBhali impepha, lilandele abanye onkulunkulu elingabaziyo yini?
“‘Mobɛbɔ korɔn na moadi awu, mobɛbɔ aguaman na moadi adansekurum, mobɛhyew nnuhuam ama Baal na moadi anyame afoforo a munnim wɔn akyi,
10 Beselisiza lime phambi kwami kulindlu, ebizwa ngebizo lami, lithi: Sikhululwe ukuze senze zonke lezizinengiso.
na afei, moaba abegyina mʼanim wɔ ofi a me din da so na moaka se, “Yenni ɔhaw,” sɛ moyɛ akyiwade yi nyinaa a na munni ɔhaw ana?
11 Indlu le, ebizwa ngebizo lami, isibe lubhalu lwabaphangi emehlweni enu yini? Khangelani, mina sengibonile, itsho iNkosi.
Na ofi a me din da so yi, abɛyɛ adwowtwafo tu ama mo ana? Nanso migu so rehwɛ! Awurade na ose.
12 Ngoba yanini khathesi endaweni yami eseShilo, lapho engamisa khona ibizo lami kuqala, libone engikwenzileyo kiyo ngenxa yobubi babantu bami uIsrayeli.
“‘Na afei monkɔ Silo, faako a midii kan bɔɔ atenae de me Din too so, na monhwɛ nea meyɛɛ no esiane me nkurɔfo Israelfo amumɔyɛ nti.
13 Khathesi-ke, ngoba lenzile yonke le imisebenzi, itsho iNkosi, njalo ngikhulumile lani, ngivuka ngovivi ngikhuluma, kodwa kalizwanga, ngalibiza, kodwa kaliphendulanga;
Bere a moreyɛ eyinom nyinaa, Awurade na ose, mekasa kyerɛɛ mo mpɛn bebree, nanso moantie; mefrɛɛ mo, nanso moannye so.
14 ngakho ngizakwenza kulindlu, ebizwa ngebizo lami, elithemba kiyo, lakundawo engayinika lina laboyihlo, njengalokho engakwenza eShilo.
Ɛno nti, sɛnea meyɛɛ Silo no, mede bɛyɛ ofi a me Din da so no, asɔredan a mode mo ho to so, baabi a mede maa mo ne mo agyanom no.
15 Njalo ngizalixotsha lisuke ebusweni bami, njengalokho ngaxotsha bonke abafowenu, inzalo yonke kaEfrayimi.
Mɛpam mo afi mʼanim sɛnea meyɛɛ mo nuanom Efraimfo no.’
16 Ngakho wena ungabakhulekeli lababantu, ungabaphakamiseli ukukhala loba umkhuleko, ungalabheli kimi, ngoba kangiyikukuzwa.
“Enti mommmɔ mpae mma saa nnipa yi, monnsrɛ na munni mma wɔn nso; monnsrɛ me, efisɛ merentie mo.
17 Kawukuboni yini abakwenza emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema?
Munnhu nea wɔreyɛ wɔ Yuda nkurow no mu ne Yerusalem mmɔnten so no ana?
18 Abantwana batheza inkuni, laboyise baphembe umlilo, labesifazana baxove inhlama, ukuze benzele indlovukazi yamazulu amaqebelengwana, bathululele abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokunathwayo, ukuze bangithukuthelise.
Mmofra boaboa nnyina ano, na agyanom sɔ ogya no ano, mmea fɔtɔw asikresiam de to brodo ma Ɔsoro Hemmea. Na wogu nsa ma anyame afoforo de hyɛ me abufuw.
19 Bathukuthelisa mina yini? itsho iNkosi. Kabazenzeni yini kuze kusanganiseke ubuso babo?
Na ɛyɛ me na wɔrehyɛ me abufuw ana? Awurade na ose. Na ɛnyɛ wɔn mmom na wɔrehaw wɔn ho, hyɛ wɔn ho aniwu ana?
20 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, intukuthelo yami lolaka lwami kuzathululelwa kulindawo, phezu komuntu, laphezu kwenyamazana, laphezu kwezihlahla zasendle, laphezu kwesithelo somhlabathi; njalo kuzakutsha, kungacitshwa.
“‘Ɛno nti, nea Otumfo Awurade se ni: Wobehwie mʼabufuw ne mʼabufuwhyew agu beae yi so, agu nnipa ne mmoa, mfuw so nnua ne asase no so aba so, na ɛbɛdɛw a ɛrennum.’
21 Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Fakani iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa kanye lemihlatshelo yenu, lidle inyama.
“‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: Monkɔ so, momfa mo ɔhyew afɔrebɔ nka mo afɔrebɔ a aka no ho, na mo ankasa monwe nam no!
22 Ngoba kangikhulumanga kuboyihlo, njalo kangibalayanga ngosuku engabakhupha ngalo elizweni leGibhithe, mayelana lendaba zeminikelo yokutshiswa kumbe imihlatshelo.
Na bere a miyii mo agyanom fii Misraim na mekasa kyerɛɛ wɔn no, manhyɛ wɔn mmara a ɛfa ɔhyew afɔrebɔ ne afɔrebɔ ho nko ara,
23 Kodwa ngabalaya le into ngisithi: Lalelani ilizwi lami, njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wenu, lina-ke libe ngabantu bami; njalo hambani ngayo yonke indlela engililaya yona, ukuze kulilungele.
mmom mede saa mmara yi kaa ho: Monyɛ osetie mma me, na mɛyɛ mo Nyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfo. Monnantew akwan nyinaa a mɛhyɛ mo no so, na asi mo yiye.
24 Kodwa kabalalelanga, kabathobanga indlebe yabo; kodwa bahamba ngamacebo, ngenkani yenhliziyo yabo embi, bahlehlela nyovane, hatshi-ke phambili.
Nanso wɔantie na wɔanyɛ aso; mmom, wofi wɔn koma bɔne mu yɛɛ asoɔden. Wɔsan wɔn akyi na wɔankɔ wɔn anim.
25 Kusukela osukwini oyihlo abaphuma ngalo elizweni leGibhithe kuze kube yilolusuku, ngithume kini zonke inceku zami, abaprofethi, insuku ngensuku ngivuka ngovivi, ngithuma.
Efi bere a mo agyanom fii Misraim de besi nnɛ yi, da biara ne bere biara mesomaa me nkoa adiyifo baa mo nkyɛn.
26 Kanti kabangilalelanga, njalo kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa benza intamo yabo yaba lukhuni; benza kubi kulaboyise.
Nanso wɔantie me na wɔanyɛ aso. Wɔde asoɔden yɛɛ bɔne boroo wɔn agyanom de so.’
27 Ngakho uzakhuluma wonke lamazwi kibo, kodwa kabayikukulalela; futhi uzababiza, kodwa kabayikukuphendula.
“Sɛ moka eyinom nyinaa kyerɛ wɔn a, wɔrentie mo; sɛ mofrɛ wɔn a wɔrennye so.
28 Ngakho uzakuthi kibo: Lesi yisizwe esingalaleli ilizwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu waso, lesingemukeli ukulaywa; iqiniso liphelile, liqunyiwe emlonyeni waso.
Ɛno nti monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Eyi ne ɔman a ɔnyɛɛ osetie mmaa Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn, na ɔmfaa nteɛso no. Nokware asa, na afi wɔn ano.
29 Gela inwele zakho, wena Jerusalema, uzilahle, uphakamise isililo emadundulwini; ngoba iNkosi isalile yasidela isizukulwana solaka lwayo.
Munyi mo tinwi na montow ngu, muntwa agyaadwo wɔ nkoko no so, efisɛ Awurade apo, na wagyaa saa awo ntoatoaso yi a wɔwɔ nʼabufuwhyew no ase akyidi.’”
30 Ngoba abantwana bakoJuda benzile ububi emehlweni ami, itsho iNkosi; babekile izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngebizo lami, ukuze bayingcolise.
“‘Yudafo ayɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so, sɛnea Awurade se ni. Wɔde ahoni a, ɛyɛ akyiwade asisi ofi a me Din da so mu de agu ho fi.
31 Bakhile-ke indawo eziphakemeyo zeTofethi, ezisesihotsheni sendodana kaHinomu, ukuze batshise amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo ngomlilo; engingabalayanga khona, lokungavelanga enhliziyweni yami.
Wɔasisi Tofet sorɔnsorɔmmea wɔ Ben Hinom bon mu; ɛhɔ na wɔhyew wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea. Ade a manhyɛ wɔn na amma mʼadwene mu nso.
32 Ngakho khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho engasayikubizwa ngokuthi yiTofethi, loba isihotsha sendodana kaHinomu, kodwa isihotsha sokubulala; ngoba bazangcwaba eTofethi, kuze kungabi landawo.
Ɛno nti, monhwɛ yiye na nna no reba, Awurade na ose, a wɔremfrɛ hɔ Tofet anaa Hinom Bon bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ no Okum Bon, efisɛ wobesie awufo wɔ Tofet kosi sɛ hɔ bɛyɛ ma.
33 Lezidumbu zalababantu zizakuba yikudla kwenyoni zamazulu, lezezinyamazana zomhlaba, kungekho ozazethusa.
Na afei saa nnipa yi afunu bɛyɛ aduan ama wim nnomaa ne asase so mmoa, na ɛrenka obiara wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpam wɔn.
34 Khona ngizakwenza kuphele emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema ilizwi lenjabulo, lelizwi lentokozo, ilizwi lomyeni, lelizwi likamakoti, ngoba ilizwe lizakuba lunxiwa.
Mede ahosɛpɛw ne anigye nnyigyei, ayeforo ne ayeforokunu nne a ɛwɔ Yuda nkurow ne Yerusalem mmɔnten so no bɛba awiei, efisɛ asase no bɛda mpan.’”
