Yeremia 33
1 Bere a Yeremia da so da dua mu wɔ awɛmfo adiwo hɔ no, Awurade asɛm baa ne nkyɛn ne mprenu so se:
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut within the courtyard of the guard, saying,
2 “Sɛɛ na Awurade se, nea ɔbɔɔ asase, Awurade a ɔyɛe na ɔma egyinae, Awurade ne ne din:
“Yahweh the maker, says this—Yahweh, who forms in order to establish—Yahweh is his name,
3 ‘Frɛ me na megye wo so, na maka wo nsɛm akɛse ne nneɛma a ahintaw a wunnim.’
'Call to me, and I will answer you. I will demonstrate great things to you, mysteries that you do not understand.'
4 Na nea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka de fa afi a ɛwɔ saa kuropɔn yi mu ne Yuda ahemfi ahorow a wɔabubu no ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wubenya nea wɔde besiw ntuano afasu ne afoa no ano,
For Yahweh, God of Israel, says this concerning the houses in this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that are torn down because of the siege ramps and the sword,
5 wɔ wɔne Babiloniafo ɔko no mu. ‘Nnipa a mede mʼabufuw ne mʼabufuwhyew bekunkum wɔn no afunu bɛyɛ hɔ ma. Meyi mʼani afi saa kuropɔn yi so esiane nʼamumɔyɛ nyinaa nti.
'The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill the houses with corpses of people whom I will kill in my wrath and fury, when I hide my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6 “‘Nanso mede ahoɔden ne ayaresa bɛbrɛ no; mɛsa me nkurɔfo yare na mama wɔanya asomdwoe ne bammɔ a ɛdɔɔso.
But see, I am about to bring healing and a cure, for I will heal them and will bring to them abundance, peace, and faithfulness.
7 Mɛsan de Yuda ne Israel afi nnommum mu aba na masan agye wɔn asi hɔ sɛ nea na wɔte dedaw no.
For I will bring back the fortunes of Judah and Israel; I will build them up as in the beginning.
8 Mɛhohoro wɔn bɔne a wɔayɛ atia me no nyinaa, na mede wɔn atuatew ho bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
Then I will purify them from all the iniquity that they have committed against me. I will pardon all the iniquities that they have done against me, and all the ways that they rebelled against me.
9 Na saa kuropɔn yi bɛma me din ahyeta, ɛbɛma me anigye, ayeyi ne anuonyam wɔ asase so aman a wɔte nnepa a meyɛ ma no nyinaa mu; wobesuro na wɔn ho apopo wɔ yiyedi ne asomdwoe bebrebe a mede ma no nti.’
For this city will become for me an object of joy, a song of praise and honor for all the nations of the earth who will hear of all the good things that I am going to do for it. Then they will fear and tremble because of all the good things and the peace that I will give to it.'
10 “Sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Woka fa saa beae yi ho se, “Ada mpan a nnipa anaasɛ mmoa nni so.” Nanso Yuda nkurow ne Yerusalem mmɔnten a ada mpan na nnipa anaa mmoa nni no, hɔ na wɔbɛsan ate bio,
Yahweh says this, 'In this place about which you are now saying, “It is desolate, a place with neither man nor beast,” in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate having neither man nor beast, there will be heard again
11 ahurusi ne anigye nnyigyei, ayeforo ne ayeforokunu nne ne wɔn a wɔde aseda afɔrebɔ reba Awurade fi nne se, “‘“Momfa aseda mma Asafo Awurade, efisɛ Awurade ye, na ne dɔ wɔ hɔ daa.” Na mɛsan de asase no so nnepa a wɔwɔ hɔ dedaw no aba bio,’ Awurade, na ose.
the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, the sound of those who say, while they bring thank offerings to the house of Yahweh, “Give thanks to Yahweh of hosts, for Yahweh is good, and his unfailing love lasts forever!” For I will restore the fortunes of the land to what they were before,' says Yahweh.
12 “Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: ‘Ɛha yi a ada mpan a nnipa ne mmoa nni no; ne nkurow nyinaa so no, wobenya nguanhwɛfo adidibea ne nea wɔn nguankuw bɛhome.
Yahweh of hosts says this: 'In this desolate place, where now there is neither man nor beast—in all its cities there will again be pastures where shepherds can rest their flocks.
13 Nkurow a ɛwɔ ɔman a ɛda bepɔw so no atɔe fam mmepɔw ase mu, Negeb, Benyamin mantam mu, nkuraa a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia ne Yuda nkurow mu, nguankuw betwa mu bio wɔ nea ɔkan wɔn no nsa ase.’ Awurade, na waka.
In the cities in the hill country, the lowlands, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the ones counting them,' says Yahweh.
14 “‘Nna no reba,’ Awurade na ose, a mɛma adom bɔ a mehyɛɛ Israel ne Yudafi no aba mu.
'Look! Days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will do what I have promised for the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
15 “‘Nna no mu ne saa bere no mɛma trenee Dubaa afefɛw afi Dawid ase; ɔbɛyɛ nea ɛteɛ ne nea eye wɔ asase no so.
In those days and in that time I will make a righteous branch to grow for David, and he will carry out justice and righteousness in the land.
16 Saa nna no mu, wobegye Yuda nkwa na Yerusalem bɛtena asomdwoe mu. Eyi ne din a wɔde bɛfrɛ no Awurade, Yɛn Trenee.’
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in security, for this is what she will be called, “Yahweh is our righteousness.”'
17 Na sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Ɔbarima a ɔbɛtena Israel ahengua so no remmɔ Dawid da,
For Yahweh says this: 'A man from David's line will never be lacking to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
18 saa ara nso na asɔfo a wɔyɛ Lewifo no, ɔbarima a obegyina mʼanim daa abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne aduan afɔre na ɔde afɔre ahorow abrɛ me, remmɔ wɔn da.’”
nor will a man from the Levitical priests be lacking before me to raise burnt offerings, to burn food offerings, and to perform grain offerings all the time.'”
19 Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se:
The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 “Sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Sɛ wubetumi abu me ne adekyee ne adesae apam so, na adekyee ne adesae amma wɔn bere a wɔahyehyɛ no a,
“Yahweh says this: 'If you can break my covenant with day and night so that there will no longer be day or night at their proper times,
21 ɛno de, na me ne mʼakoa Dawid apam ne Lewifo a wɔyɛ asɔfo a wɔsom wɔ mʼanim no apam no nso, wubetumi abu so, na Dawid rennya nʼaseni a ɔbɛtena ahengua so adi hene bio.
then you will be able to break my covenant with David my servant, so that he will no longer have a son to sit on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests, my servants.
22 Mɛma mʼakoa Dawid asefo ne Lewifo a wɔsom wɔ mʼanim no ase adɔ te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma a wontumi nkan ne mpoano nwea a wontumi nsusuw.’”
As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted, and as the sand of the seashores cannot be measured, so I will increase the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who serve before me.'”
23 Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,
The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 “Wontee sɛ nnipa yi reka se, ‘Awurade apo ahenni abien a oyii no’ ana? Enti wobu me man animtiaa na wɔmmfa wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ ɔman bio.
“Have you not considered what this people has declared when they said, 'The two families that Yahweh chose, now he has rejected them'? In this way they despise my people, saying that they are no longer a nation in their sight.
25 Nea Awurade se ni: ‘Sɛ mantintim me ne adekyee ne adesae apam ne ɔsoro ne asase mmara no a,
I, Yahweh, say this, 'If I have not established the covenant of day and night, and if I have not fixed the laws of heaven and earth,
26 ɛno de anka mɛpo Yakob ne mʼakoa Dawid asefo, na merenyi ne mmabarima mu baako sɛ onni Abraham, Isak ne Yakob asefo so. Na mede wɔn ahonyade bɛsan ama wɔn, na manya ayamhyehye ama wɔn.’”
then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant, and not bring from them a person to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and show mercy to them.'”
