< Yeremia 11 >
1 Asɛm a efi Awurade hɔ baa Yeremia nkyɛn ni:
The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye,
2 “Tie apam yi mu nhyehyɛe na ka kyerɛ Yudafo ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem.
and seide, Here ye the wordis of this couenaunt, and speke ye to the men of Juda, and to the dwelleris of Jerusalem; and thou schalt seie to hem,
3 Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: ‘Nnome nka onipa a onni apam yi mu nhyehyɛe so,
The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Cursid be the man that herith not the wordis of this couenaunt,
4 nea mehyɛ maa mo agyanom bere a miyii wɔn fii Misraim, fononoo a wɔnan dade wɔ mu no.’ Mekae se, ‘Monyɛ osetie mma me na monyɛ biribiara a mehyɛ mo, na mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfo na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn.
which Y comaundide to youre fadris, in the dai in which Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, fro the irone furneis; and Y seide, Here ye my vois, and do ye alle thingis whiche Y comaundide to you, and ye schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to you;
5 Na afei mɛma ntam a mekaa mo agyanom se, mɛma wɔn asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so no aba mu,’ asase a mote so nnɛ yi.” Mibuae se, “Amen, Awurade.”
that Y reise the ooth which Y swoor to youre fadris, that Y schulde yyue to hem a lond flowynge with mylk and hony, as this dai is. And Y answeride, and seide, Amen, Lord.
6 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Bɔ saa asɛm yi ho dawuru wɔ Yuda nkurow ne Yerusalem mmɔnten so se: ‘Muntie apam yi ho nhyehyɛe na munni so.
And the Lord seide to me, Crye thou alle these wordis in the citees of Juda, and with out Jerusalem, and seie thou, Here ye the wordis of this couenaunt, and do ye tho;
7 Efi bere a miyii mo agyanom fii Misraim besi nnɛ yi, mebɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ bere biara se, “Monyɛ osetie mma me.”
for Y witnessynge haue witnessid to youre fadris, in the dai in which Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, `til to this dai; Y roos eerli, and witnesside, and seide, Here ye my vois.
8 Nanso wɔantie na wɔamfa no asɛm; na mmom, wodii asoɔden a efi wɔn koma bɔne mu no akyi. Ɛno nti memaa nnome a efi apam a mahyɛ wɔn sɛ wonni so na wɔanni so no mu no baa wɔn so.’”
And thei herden not, nether bowiden doun her eere, but thei yeden forth ech man in the schrewidnesse of his yuel herte; and Y brouyte in on hem alle the wordis of this couenaunt, which Y comaundide that thei schulden do, and thei diden not.
9 Na afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Atuatew apam bi wɔ Yudafo ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem no ntam.
And the Lord seide to me, Sweryng togidere is foundun in the men of Juda, and in the dwelleris of Jerusalem;
10 Wɔasan kɔ wɔn agyanom a wɔampɛ sɛ wotie mʼasɛm no bɔne ho. Wɔadi anyame foforo akyi akɔsom wɔn. Yerusalem fifo ne Yuda fifo abu apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛe no so.
thei turneden ayen to the formere wickidnessis of her fadris, that nolden here my wordis; and therfor these men yeden aftir alien goddis, for to serue hem; the hous of Israel and the hous of Juda maden voide my couenaunt, which Y made with the fadris of hem.
11 Ɛno nti nea Awurade se ni: ‘Mede amanehunu a wɔrentumi nguan mfi mu bɛba wɔn so. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ, wosu frɛ me de, nanso merennye wɔn so.
Wherfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bringe in on hem yuels, of whiche thei schulen not mow go out; and thei schulen crie to me, and Y schal not here hem.
12 Yuda nkurow ne Yerusalemfo bɛkɔ akosu afrɛ anyame a wɔhyew nnuhuam ma wɔn no, nanso sɛ amanehunu ba a wɔrentumi mmoa wɔn koraa.
And the citees of Juda and the dwellers of Jerusalem schulen go, and schulen crye to hem, to whiche thei offren sacrifices; and thei schulen not saue hem in the tyme of her turment.
13 Wo Yuda, wowɔ anyame a wɔn dodow bɛyɛ sɛ wo nkurow; na afɔremuka a moasisi sɛ mobɛhyew nnuhuam wɔ so ama animguase nyame Baal no dɔɔso sɛ Yerusalem mmɔnten.’
For thou, Juda, thi goddis weren bi the noumbre of thi citees, and thou settidist auters of schenschipe, bi the noumbre of the weies of Jerusalem, auters to offre sacrifices to Baalym.
14 “Mmɔ mpae mma saa nnipa yi, nni mma wɔn na nsrɛ mma wɔn, efisɛ, sɛ wosu frɛ me wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu a merennye wɔn so.
Therfor nyle thou preie for this puple, and take thou not heriyng and preier for hem; for Y schal not here in the tyme of the cry of hem to me, in the tyme of the turment of hem.
15 “Dɛn na me dɔfo reyɛ wɔ mʼasɔredan mu bere a ɔne bebree hyehyɛ nsɛmmɔnedi ho? Ahodwira nam betumi abɔ wo asotwe agu ana? Sɛ woyɛ wʼamumɔyɛsɛm a na wʼani agye.”
What is it, that my derlyng doith many greet trespassis in myn hous? whether hooli fleischis schulen do awei fro thee thi malice, in which thou hast glorie?
16 Awurade, frɛ wo ngodua a enyin frɔmfrɔm a ɛsow aba a ɛyɛ fɛ. Nanso ɔde ahum kɛse bi nteɛmu bɛto mu gya, na ne mman bebubu.
The Lord clepide thi name an olyue tre, fair, ful of fruyt, schapli; at the vois of a greet speche fier brent an hiy ther ynne, and the buyschis therof ben brent.
17 Asafo Awurade a oduaa wo no ahyɛ amanehunu ho nkɔm wɔ wo ho, efisɛ Israel fifo ne Yuda fifo ayɛ bɔne ahyɛ me abufuw sɛ wɔhyew nnuhuam ma Baal.
And the Lord of oostis that plauntide thee, spak yuel on thee, for the yuels of the hous of Israel, and of the hous of Juda, whiche thei diden to hem silf, and offriden to Baalym, to terre me to wraththe.
18 Esiane sɛ Awurade yii pɔw a wabɔ kyerɛɛ me no nti, mihui, efisɛ saa bere no ɔde nea wɔreyɛ no kyerɛɛ me.
Forsothe, Lord, thou schewidist to me, and Y knew; thou schewidist to me the studies of hem.
19 Meyɛɛ sɛ oguamma a odwo a wɔde no rekɔ akokum no; amma mʼadwene mu sɛ wɔabɔ wɔn tirim pɔw atia me sɛ, “Momma yɛnsɛe dua no ne nʼaba no; momma yentwa no mfi ateasefo asase so, sɛnea wɔnnkae ne din bio.”
And Y am as a mylde lomb, which is borun to slayn sacrifice; and Y knew not, that thei thouyten counsels on me, and seiden, Sende we a tre in to the brede of hym, and rase we hym awei fro the lond of lyueris, and his name be no more hadde in mynde.
20 Nanso wo, Asafo Awurade, wo a wubu atɛntrenee na wosɔ koma ne adwene hwɛ, ma minhu wʼaweretɔ wɔ wɔn so, na wo nsam na mede me nsɛm nyinaa hyɛ.
But thou, Lord of oostis, that demest iustli, and preuest reynes and hertis, se Y thi veniaunce of hem; for to thee Y schewide my cause.
21 Ɛno nti nea Awurade ka fa Anatot mmarima a wɔrehwehwɛ wo akum wo na wɔka se, “Nhyɛ nkɔm wɔ Awurade din mu anyɛ saa a, wubewu wɔ yɛn nsa ano,”
Therfor the Lord seith these thingis to the men of Anathot, that seken thi lijf, and seien, Thou schalt not prophesie in the name of the Lord, and thou schalt not die in oure hondis.
22 Ɛno nti, nea Asafo Awurade se ni: “Mɛtwe wɔn aso. Wɔn mmerante bewuwu afoa ano, na ɔkɔm bekunkum wɔn mmabarima ne mmabea.
Therfor the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal visite on hem; the yonge men of hem schulen die bi swerd, the sones of hem and the douytris of hem schulen die for hungur;
23 Wɔrennya wɔn nkae biara mpo, efisɛ mede amanehunu bɛba Anatotfo so wɔ wɔn asotwe afe mu.”
and no relifs, ether children abidynge, schulen be of hem; for Y schal bringe ynne yuel on the men of Anathot, the yeer of the visitacioun of hem.
