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, the God of Israel, saying, 'Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll.

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, look, the days come, says the LORD, that I will turn 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:

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 now, and see whether a man does travail with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, 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.

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 him their bondservant;

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 to 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 do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, look, I will save you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, 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: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished."

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

For thus says the LORD, "Your hurt is incurable, and your wound 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 do not seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness 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 do you cry for your hurt? Your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased, I have done these things to 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 those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who prey on you I will make 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 to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," says the LORD; "because they have called you an outcast, saying, 'It 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: "Look, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited in its own way.

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.

Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who 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 before, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who 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.

Their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from their midst; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says the LORD.

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

You shall be my people, and I will be your God.

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

Look, the storm of the LORD, his wrath, has gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall burst on 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 will not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.
