Yeremia 17
1 “Wɔde dade kyerɛwdua akrukyerɛw Yuda bɔne, dade kyerɛwdua a ano te sɛ kyerɛwbo, wɔ wɔn koma apon so ne wɔn afɔremuka mmɛn so.
[the] sin of Judah [is] inscribed with a stylus of iron with a point of flint [is] engraved on [the] tablet of heart their and to [the] horns of altars your.
2 Mpo, wɔn mma kae wɔn afɔremuka ne Asera nnua a ɛwɔ nnua a adennan no nkyɛn ne nkoko atenten no so.
When remember children their altars their and Asherah poles their at tree[s] luxuriant on hills high.
3 Me mmepɔw a ɛwɔ asase no so, mo ahonyade ne mo nnwetɛbona nyinaa mede bɛma sɛ asade, ɛne mo sorɔnsorɔmmea nso, esiane mo man no so bɔne nti.
Mountain my in the field wealth your all treasures your to plunder I will give high places your for sin in all territories your.
4 Mo ankasa mfomso nti mobɛhwere agyapade a mede maa mo no. Mede mo bɛyɛ nkoa ama mo atamfo wɔ asase a munnim so so, efisɛ moahwanyan mʼabufuw, na ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.”
And you will let fall and in you from inheritance your which I gave to you and I will make serve you enemies your in land which not you know for a fire you have kindled in anger my until perpetuity it will burn.
5 Sɛɛ na Awurade se, “Nnome nka nea ɔde ne ho to onipa so, nea ɔde ne ho to ɔhonam so pɛ nʼahoɔden na ne koma dan fi Awurade ho.
Thus - he says Yahweh [is] cursed the man who he trusts in humankind and he makes flesh strength his and from Yahweh it turns aside heart his.
6 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ wura a ɛwɔ nsase tamaa so; sɛ yiyedi ba a ɔrenhu, ɔbɛtena nweatam a awo so, ne nkyene asase a obi nte so so.
And he will be like a bush in the desert plain and not he will see if it will come good and he will dwell parched places in the wilderness a land of saltiness and not anyone dwells.
7 “Nhyira nka onipa a ɔde ne ho to Awurade so, na nʼanidaso wɔ ne mu.
[is] blessed The man who he trusts in Yahweh and he is Yahweh trust his.
8 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ dua a wɔadua no asu ho na ne ntin teɛ kɔ asu no mu. Sɛ ahuhuru ba a onsuro; ne nhaban yɛ frɔmfrɔm mmere nyinaa. Onni ɔhaw biara wɔ afe a osu ntɔ mu na ɛkɔ so sow aba daa.”
And he will be like a tree - planted at water and [which] at a stream it sends out roots its and not (he will see *Q(K)*) if it will come heat and it will be leafage its luxuriant and in a year of drought not it will be anxious and not it will cease from producing fruit.
9 Koma yɛ nnaadaa sen ade nyinaa na ano nni aduru. Hena na ɔbɛte nʼase?
[is] deceitful The heart more than everything and [is] incurable it who? will he know it.
10 “Me Awurade, mepɛɛpɛɛ koma mu na mehwehwɛ adwene mu, gyina so de tua onipa ka sɛnea nʼabrabɔ te, ne sɛnea ɛfata ne nneyɛe.”
I Yahweh [am] searching [the] heart [am] testing [the] kidneys to give to everyone (according to ways his *Q(K)*) according to [the] fruit of deeds his.
11 Sɛnea asɛmɛntɛ a osow nkesua a ɛnyɛ ɔno na ɔtowee no, saa ara na onipa a onya sika a ɔmfa ɔkwan pa so no te. Sɛ obu ne nkwa nna mu abien a wobegyaw no mu, na awiei no, ne kwasea bɛda adi.
A partridge [which] it gathers a brood and not it has laid [one who] makes wealth and not with justice in [the] middle of (days his *Q(K)*) it will leave him and at end his he will be a fool.
12 Anuonyam ahengua a wɔama so fi mfiase no, ne yɛn kronkronbea.
[is] a throne of Glory a high place from first [time] [the] place of sanctuary our.
13 Awurade, woyɛ Israel anidaso, wɔn a wɔpa wʼakyi nyinaa ani bewu. Wɔn a wɔtwe wɔn ho fi wo ho no, wobesie wɔn efisɛ wɔagyaw Awurade a ɔyɛ nkwa asuti no.
O hope of Israel O Yahweh all [those who] forsake you they will be ashamed (and disloyal [ones] my *Q(K)*) in the land they will be written down for they have forsaken [the] spring of water living Yahweh.
14 Sa me yare Awurade, na me ho bɛtɔ me; gye me na menya nkwa, na wo ne ɔbaako a mekamfo wo.
Heal me O Yahweh so I may be healed save me so let me be saved for [are] praise my you.
15 Wobisa me daa sɛ, “Ɛhe na Awurade asɛm no wɔ? Ma ɛmmra mu mprempren!”
Here! they [are] saying to me where? [is] [the] word of Yahweh let it come please.
16 Minnguan mfii mʼadwuma sɛ wo guanhwɛfo ho; wunim sɛ menhwehwɛɛ abasamtu da. Nea efi mʼanom yɛ pefee wɔ wʼanim.
And I not I have hastened - from a shepherd after you and a day incurable not I have desired you you know [the] utterance of lips my before face your it was.
17 Nhunahuna me; wo ne me guankɔbea wɔ amanehunu da.

18 Ma wɔn a wɔtaa me anim ngu ase, na yi me fi ahohora mu. Ma wɔmmɔ hu, nanso mma me koma ntu. Ma amanehunu da no mmra wɔn so; fa ɔhawprenu sɛe wɔn.
Let them be put to shame pursuers my and may not I be put to shame I let them be dismayed they and may not I be dismayed I bring on them a day of calamity and double destruction destroy them.
19 Sɛɛ na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me, “Kɔ na kogyina nnipa no pon a Yuda ahemfo di hɔ ahyɛmfiri no; kogyina Yerusalem apon a aka no nso ano.
Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will stand in [the] gate of [the] sons of (the people *Q(K)*) which they go in it [the] kings of Judah and which they go out in it and in all [the] gates of Jerusalem.
20 Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo Yuda ahemfo ne Yudafo nyinaa ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem a wɔfa saa apon yi mu.
And you will say to them hear [the] word of Yahweh O kings of Judah and all Judah and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem who go in the gates these.
21 Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Monhwɛ yiye na moansoa nnesoa Homeda anaa moamfa amfa Yerusalem apon mu.
Thus he says Yahweh take heed to lives your and may not you carry a burden on [the] day of the sabbath and you will bring [it] in [the] gates of Jerusalem.
22 Monnsoa adesoa mfi mo afi mu na monnyɛ adwuma biara Homeda, na mmom monyɛ Homeda no kronkron, sɛnea mehyɛɛ mo agyanom no.
And not you must bring out a burden from houses your on [the] day of the sabbath and any work not you must do and you will set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath just as I commanded ancestors your.
23 Nanso wɔantie na wɔammu; wɔyɛɛ asoɔden, wɔantie na wɔampɛ nteɛso.
And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they stiffened neck their to not (to listen *Q(K)*) and to not to accept correction.
24 Nanso sɛ mohwɛ yiye na moyɛ osetie ma me a, sɛɛ na Awurade se, na moamfa nnesoa amfa saa kuropɔn yi apon mu Homeda, na sɛ moyɛ Homeda no kronkron a monnyɛ adwuma biara a,
And it will be certainly [if] you will listen! to me [the] utterance of Yahweh to not - to bring a burden in [the] gates of the city this on [the] day of the sabbath and to set apart as holy [the] day of the sabbath to not to do (on it *Q(K)*) any work.
25 ɛno de ahemfo a wɔte Dawid ahengua so ne wɔn adwumayɛfo bɛfa saa apon yi mu. Wɔn nyinaa bɛba a wɔtete nteaseɛnam mu ne apɔnkɔ so, a Yuda mmarima ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem ka ho, na nnipa bɛtena kuropɔn yi mu daa nyinaa.
And they will come in [the] gates of the city this kings - and princes [who] sit on [the] throne of David [who] ride - in chariot[s] and on horses they and officials their everyone of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and it will remain the city this for ever.
26 Nnipa befi Yuda nkurow ne nkuraa a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no aba, wobefi Benyamin asase ne atɔe fam nkoko so, wobefi mmepɔw, mantam ne Negeb aba a wɔde ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ne afɔrebɔ, aduan afɔrebɔde, nnuhuam ne aseda afɔrebɔde reba Awurade fi.
And they will come from [the] cities of Judah and from round about Jerusalem and from [the] land of Benjamin and from the Shephelah and from the hill country and from the Negev [those who] bring burnt offering and sacrifice and grain offering and frankincense and [those who] bring a thank-offering [the] house of Yahweh.
27 Nanso sɛ moanyɛ osetie amma me, anyɛ Homeda no kronkron, na sɛ mosoa adesoa biara fa Yerusalem apon mu Homeda a, ɛno de mɛsɔ ogya a ɛrennum da wɔ Yerusalem apon mu na abɛhyew nʼaban ahorow no.’”
