Yeremia 24
1 Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar faa Yudahene Yehoiakyin a ɔyɛ Yehoiakim babarima, nʼadwumayɛfo, nʼadwumfo ne nʼatomfo a wɔwɔ Yuda fii Yerusalem kɔɔ nnommum mu wɔ Babilonia no akyi no, Awurade kyerɛɛ me borɔdɔma nkɛntɛn abien a wɔde asisi Awurade asɔredan no anim.
Yekoyakini mutabani wa Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda n’abakungu, n’abaweesi n’abafundi ba Yuda bwe baatwalibwa kabaka Nebukadduneeza mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni okuva mu Yerusaalemi, Mukama yandaga ebibbo bibiri eby’emitiini nga biteekeddwa mu maaso ga yeekaalu ya Mukama.
2 Kɛntɛn baako mu borɔdɔma no yɛ papa te sɛ nea ɛbere ntɛm; borɔdɔma a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn a ɛka ho no mu no nye sɛ wodi mpo.
Ekibbo ekimu kyalimu ettiini nga nnungi nnyo ng’eyo esooka okwengera, n’ekibbo ekirala kyalimu ettiini nga mbi nnyo, ezitayinza kuliika.
3 Na Awurade bisaa me se, “Dɛn na wuhu, Yeremia?” Mibuae se, “Borɔdɔma, nea eye pa ara, ne nea enye mma sɛ wodi mpo.”
Mukama n’ambuuza nti, “Olaba ki Yeremiya?” Ne muddamu nti, “Ndaba ettiini. Ennungi nga nnungi nnyo naye embi nga mbi nnyo ezitayinza kuliika.”
4 Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nti,
5 “Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: ‘Borɔdɔma papa no gyina hɔ ma atukɔfo a wofi Yuda, wɔn a mitwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Babilonia asase so no.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ng’ettiini zino ennungi, ndaba nti abawaŋŋanguse b’omu Yuda balungi, be natwala okuva mu kifo kino eri mu nsi ey’Abakaludaaya.
6 Mɛma mʼani aku wɔn ho, ama wɔn yiyedi, na mɛsan de wɔn aba ha bio. Mesiesie wɔn na merensɛe wɔn. Medua wɔn, na merentu wɔn ase.
Amaaso gange gajja kubalabirira olw’obulungi bwabwe, era nzija kubakomyawo mu nsi eno. Nzija kubazimba era nneme kubamenyaamenya: nzija kubasimba nneme kubakuula.
7 Mɛma wɔn koma a wɔde behu me sɛ, me ne Awurade. Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo, na mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn, efisɛ wɔde wɔn koma nyinaa bɛsan aba me nkyɛn.
Ndibawa omutima bammanye, nti nze Mukama. Balibeera bantu bange, nange ndibeera Katonda waabwe, kubanga balidda gye ndi n’omutima gwabwe gwonna.
8 “‘Nanso te sɛ borɔdɔma a enye no, nea enye sɛnea wodi mpo no,’ nea Awurade se ni, ‘saa ara na mɛyɛ Yudahene Sedekia, nʼadwumayɛfo ne Yerusalem nkae no, sɛ wɔte asase yi so anaa wɔte Misraim.
“‘Naye ng’ettiini embi, embi ennyo ezitayinzika kuliika, bwe ntyo bwe nnaakola Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda, n’abakungu be n’abo abaasigalawo mu Yerusaalemi, oba abaasigalawo mu nsi eno oba abo ababeera mu Misiri,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 Mɛma wɔn ayɛ akyide ne mfomsode ama ahenni a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa, wɔbɛyɛ ahohora na wɔabɔ wɔn din bɔne, wɔbɛyɛ akyiwade ne mmusu baabiara a mɛpam wɔn akɔ.
‘Ndibafuula kyennyinnyalwa era eky’omuzizo eri amawanga g’ensi, eky’okusekererwa era olugero obugero, ekintu eky’okusekererwa era eky’okukolimirwanga yonna gye nnaabagoberanga.
10 Mɛsoma afoa, ɔkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm akɔ wɔn so kosi sɛ wɔbɛsɛe wɔn koraa afi asase a mede maa wɔn ne wɔn agyanom no so.’”
Ndireeta ekitala, n’ekyeya, ne kawumpuli okubalumba okutuusa lwe balizikirira babule ku nsi gye nabawa ne bakitaabwe.’”
