Yeremia 30

1 Asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ ni:

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2 “Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: ‘Kyerɛw nsɛm a maka akyerɛ wo nyinaa gu nhoma mu.

Thus speaks the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken unto you in a book.

3 Nna bi reba,’ sɛnea Awurade se, ‘a mede me nkurɔfo Israelfo ne Yudafo befi nnommum mu asan aba na mede wɔn aba asase a mede maa wɔn agyanom sɛ wɔmfa ntena so no so,’ Awurade na ose.”

For, lo, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 Eyi ne nsɛm a Awurade ka faa Israel ne Yuda ho:

And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 “Nea Awurade se ni: “‘Akomatu nteɛteɛmu na mete, mete basabasayɛ, na ɛnyɛ asomdwoe.

For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6 Mummisa na munhu: Ɔbarima betumi awo mma ana? Afei, adɛn nti na mihu ɔbarima hoɔdenfo biara sɛ ne nsa gu ne yafunu so te sɛ ɔbea a ɔwɔ awoko mu, na anim biara ayɛ bosaa saa?

Ask all of you now, and see whether a man does travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7 Sɛnea da no bɛyɛ hu afa! Da biara renyɛ sɛ ɛno. Ɛbɛyɛ amanehunu bere ama Yakob, nanso wobeyi no afi mu.

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

8 “‘Saa da no,’ Asafo Awurade na ose, ‘Mebubu konnua no afi wɔn kɔn mu, na matetew wɔn nkyehama no mu; ananafo remfa wɔn nyɛ nkoa bio.

For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more make use of him:

9 Na mmom wɔbɛsom Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn ne Dawid, wɔn hene, a mɛpagyaw no ama wɔn.

But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

10 “‘Enti nsuro, Yakob, me somfo; mma wʼaba mu mmu, Israel,’ nea Awurade se ni. ‘Nokware, megye wo afi akyirikyiri, ne wʼasefo afi wɔn nnommum asase so. Yakob bɛsan anya asomdwoe ne bammɔ na obiara renhunahuna no bio.

Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from far, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

11 Me ne wo wɔ hɔ na megye wo nkwa,’ Awurade na ose. ‘Ɛwɔ mu, mesɛe amanaman no nyinaa pasaa, emu na mebɔ mo ahwete kɔ, nanso merensɛe mo korakora. Mɛteɛteɛ mo, nanso mɛyɛ no wɔ trenee kwan so; meremma mo mfa mo ho nni koraa a merentwe mo aso.’

For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.

12 “Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Wʼapirakuru ayɛ akisikuru, na wontumi nsa.

For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.

13 Obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛka bi ama wo, wo kuru no rennya aduru, na worennya ayaresa.

There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.

14 Wʼapamfo nyinaa werɛ afi wo; wo ho biribiara mfa wɔn ho. Mabɔ wo sɛnea wo tamfo bɛyɛ na matwe wʼaso sɛnea otirimɔdenfo bɛtwe, efisɛ wʼafɔdi so dodo na wʼamumɔyɛ nso dɔɔso.

All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.

15 Adɛn nti na wusu dennen wɔ wʼapirakuru, wo yawdi a ano nni aduru no ho? Wʼafɔdi kɛse ne wʼamumɔyɛ bebrebe nti na mede saa nneɛma yi ayɛ wo.

Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto you.

16 “‘Nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsɛe mo; mo atamfo nyinaa bɛkɔ nnommum mu. Wɔn a wɔfow mo no wɔbɛfow wɔn wɔn a wɔtow hyɛɛ mo so no, mɛtow ahyɛ wɔn so.

Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all of your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.

17 Nanso mɛma wo ahoɔden bio na masa wʼapirakuru,’ Awurade na ose, ‘efisɛ wɔfrɛ wo nea wɔapam no, Sion a wo ho nhia obiara.’”

For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

18 Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Mɛsan de Yakob ntamadan mu ahonyade aba na manya ayamhyehye ama nʼatenae ahorow no; wɔbɛkyekye kuropɔn no bio wɔ ne mmubui so, na ahemfi no besi nea ɛsɛ sɛ esi.

Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

19 Wɔn mu na aseda nnwom befi aba ne ahosɛpɛw nnyigyei. Mɛma wɔadɔɔso, na wɔn dodow no so rentew; mɛhyɛ wɔn anuonyam, na wɔremmu wɔn abomfiaa.

And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

20 Wɔn mma bedi yiye sɛ kan no, mɛma wɔn asafo atim wɔ mʼanim; wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa mɛtwe wɔn aso.

Their children also shall be as in old times, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

21 Wɔn kannifo bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa nipa; na wɔn sodifo befi wɔn mu. Mɛka no abata me ho na wabɛn me, na hena na ɔde ne ho bɛma sɛ ɔbɛbɛn me?’” Awurade na ose.

And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? says the LORD.

22 “‘Enti mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfo, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn.’”

And all of you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

23 Hwɛ, Awurade ahum betu abufuwhyew mu, mfɛtɛ bedi kyinhyia wɔ amumɔyɛfo mpampam.

Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

24 Awurade abufuw rennwo kosi sɛ obewie ne koma mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa. Nna a ɛreba no mu no mobɛte eyi ase.

The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days all of you shall consider it.
