Yeremia 36
1 Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim afe a ɛto so anan mu, saa asɛm yi fi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ:
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, lelilizwi lafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini, lisithi:
2 “Fa nhoma mmobɔwee, na kyerɛw nsɛm a maka akyerɛ wo fa Israel, Yuda ne aman a aka no ho nyinaa, efi bere a mifii ase kasa kyerɛɛ wo wɔ Yosia adedi bere so de besi nnɛ no gu so.
Zithathele umqulu wogwalo, ubhale kiwo wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe ngoIsrayeli langoJuda langazo zonke izizwe, kusukela ngosuku lokukhuluma kwami kuwe, kusukela ensukwini zikaJosiya, kuze kube lamuhla.
3 Ebia, sɛ Yudafo te amanehunu biara a mayɛ mʼadwene sɛ mede bɛba wɔn so no a, wɔn mu biara bɛdan afi nʼamumɔyɛ ho na afei mede wɔn amumɔyɛ ne wɔn bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn.”
Mhlawumbe abendlu kaJuda bazakuzwa bonke ububi engicabanga ukubenza kubo; ukuze baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, ukuze ngithethelele ububi babo lesono sabo.
4 Enti Yeremia frɛɛ Neria babarima Baruk, na bere a ɔreka nsɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ no nyinaa no, Baruk kyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee no mu.
UJeremiya wasebiza uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya; uBharukhi wasebhala okuvela emlonyeni kaJeremiya, wonke amazwi eNkosi eyayiwakhulume kuye, emqulwini wogwalo.
5 Afei Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Baruk se, “Meda dua mu; merentumi nkɔ Awurade asɔredan mu.
UJeremiya waselaya uBharukhi esithi: Ngivinjelwe, kangilakungena endlini yeNkosi.
6 Enti kɔ Awurade fi mmuadadi da bi na kenkan nsɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn a meka ma wokyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee no so no kyerɛ nnipa no. Kenkan kyerɛ Yudafo a wofi wɔn nkurow so aba no.
Ngakho hamba wena, ufunde emqulwini owubhalileyo, kuvela emlonyeni wami, amazwi eNkosi endlebeni zabantu endlini yeNkosi ngosuku lokuzila ukudla; uwafunde futhi endlebeni zakhe wonke uJuda abavela emizini yabo.
7 Ebia wɔde wɔn nkotosrɛ bɛba Awurade anim na wɔn mu biara adan afi nʼamumɔyɛ akwan no so, efisɛ abufuw ne abufuwhyew nsɛm a Awurade aka atia saa nnipa yi so.”
Mhlawumbe ukuncenga kwabo kuzakuwa phambi kweNkosi, baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi; ngoba lukhulu ulaka lentukuthelo iNkosi ekukhulume kulababantu.
8 Neria babarima Baruk yɛɛ biribiara a odiyifo Yeremia kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, ɔkenkan Awurade nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu wɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu.
UBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wasesenza njengakho konke uJeremiya umprofethi ayemlaye khona, efunda egwalweni amazwi eNkosi endlini yeNkosi.
9 Ɔsram a ɛto so akron wɔ Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim adedi afe a ɛto so anum so no, wɔpaee Awurade anim mmuadadi maa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa ne wɔn a wofi Yuda nkurow so aba no.
Kwasekuthi emnyakeni wesihlanu kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye, bamemezela ukuzila ukudla phambi kweNkosi, bonke abantu eJerusalema, labantu bonke abavela emizini yakoJuda eJerusalema.
10 Baruk kenkan Yeremia nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu kyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu nyinaa; fii Safan babarima Gemaria a ɔyɛ ɔkyerɛwfo no pia a ɛwɔ asɔredan no atifi adiwo na ɛbɛn Ɔpon Foforo no mu.
UBharukhi wasefunda egwalweni amazwi kaJeremiya endlini yeNkosi, ekamelweni likaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, umbhali, egumeni elingaphezulu, emnyango wesango elitsha lendlu yeNkosi, endlebeni zabantu bonke.
11 Bere a Safan babarima Gemaria babarima Mikaia tee Awurade nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no mu no,
UMikhaya, indodana kaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, wasesizwa wonke amazwi eNkosi avela kulolugwalo,
12 ɔkɔɔ ɔkyerɛwfo no dan a ɛwɔ ahemfi hɔ no mu, faako a na adwumayɛfo no nyinaa: ɔkyerɛwfo Elisama, Semaia babarima Delaia, Akbor babarima Elnatan, Safan babarima Gemaria, Hanania babarima Sedekia ne adwumayɛfo a wɔaka no nyinaa tete.
wehlela endlini yenkosi, ekamelweni lombhali; khangela-ke, zonke iziphathamandla zazihlezi lapho, uElishama umbhali, loDelaya indodana kaShemaya, loElinathani indodana kaAkhibhori, loGemariya indodana kaShafani, loZedekhiya indodana kaHananiya, leziphathamandla zonke.
13 Mikaia kaa nsɛm a Baruk kenkan fii nhoma mmobɔwee no mu nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn no akyi no,
UMikhaya wasebatshela wonke amazwi ayewezwile, lapho uBharukhi efunda egwalweni endlebeni zabantu.
14 adwumayɛfo no nyinaa somaa Kusi babarima Selemia babarima Netania babarima Yehudi sɛ ɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Baruk se, “Fa nhoma mmobɔwee a wokenkan fii mu kyerɛɛ nnipa no bra, na bra.” Enti Neria babarima Baruk kɔɔ wɔn hɔ a na okura nhoma mmobɔwee no.
Zonke iziphathamandla zasezithuma uJehudi, indodana kaNethaniya, indodana kaShelemiya, indodana kaKushi, kuBharukhi, zisithi: Umqulu ofunde kuwo endlebeni zabantu, uthathe ngesandla sakho uze. Ngakho uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wathatha umqulu ngesandla sakhe, waya kuzo.
15 Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛsrɛ wo tena ase, na kenkan kyerɛ yɛn.” Enti Baruk kenkan kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Zasezisithi kuye: Ake uhlale phansi, uwufunde endlebeni zethu. UBharukhi wasefunda endlebeni zazo.
16 Wɔtee saa nsɛm yi nyinaa no, wɔde ehu hwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim na wɔka kyerɛɛ Baruk se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka saa nsɛm yi nyinaa kyerɛ ɔhene.”
Kwasekusithi sezizwile wonke amazwi, zethukile, ngulowo lalowo ekhangele kumakhelwane wakhe, zathi kuBharukhi: Sizayitshela isibili inkosi wonke amazwi la.
17 Afei wobisaa Baruk se, “Ka kyerɛ yɛn, ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wokyerɛw eyinom nyinaa? Yeremia na ɔka ma wokyerɛw ana?”
Zasezimbuza uBharukhi zisithi: Ake usitshele, wawabhala njani wonke lamazwi emlonyeni wakhe?
18 Baruk buae se, “Yiw, ɔno na ɔkaa saa nsɛm yi nyinaa ma mede adubiri kyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee no mu.”
UBharukhi wasesithi kuzo: Wangifundela wonke lamazwi evela emlonyeni wakhe, ngawabhala egwalweni ngeyinki.
19 Na adwumayɛfo no ka kyerɛɛ Baruk se, “Wo ne Yeremia, munkohintaw. Monnkyerɛ obiara mo akyi kwan.”
Iziphathamandla zasezisithi kuBharukhi: Hamba ucatshe, wena loJeremiya, kakungabi lamuntu owaziyo lapho elikhona.
20 Wɔde nhoma mmobɔwee no kosiee ɔkyerɛwfo Elisama dan mu akyiri no, wɔkɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn wɔ nʼabangua no mu kɔkaa biribiara kyerɛɛ no.
Zasezingena enkosini egumeni, kodwa umqulu zawubeka ekamelweni likaElishama umbhali; zakhuluma wonke amazwi endlebeni zenkosi.
21 Ɔhene no somaa Yehudi se, ɔnkɔfa nhoma mmobɔwee no mmra. Yehudi kɔfa fii ɔkyerɛwfo Elisama dan mu, bɛkenkan kyerɛɛ ɔhene ne adwumayɛfo a wogyinagyina ne ho no nyinaa.
Inkosi yasithuma uJehudi ukuthi awulande umqulu; wasewuthatha ekamelweni likaElishama umbhali; uJehudi wawufunda endlebeni zenkosi lendlebeni zazo zonke iziphathamandla ezazimi enkosini.
22 Na ɛyɛ ɔsram a ɛto so akron a na ɔhene no te awɔwbere dan mu reto ogya a esi nʼanim.
Inkosi yayihlezi-ke endlini yobusika ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye; umlilo wawuvutha embawuleni phambi kwayo.
23 Bere biara a Yehudi bɛkenkan nhoma mmobɔwee no afaafa bɛyɛ abiɛsa anaa anan no, ɔhene no de ɔkyerɛwfo afoa, twitwa de gu ogya no mu, kosii sɛ nhoma mmobɔwee no nyinaa hyewee.
Kwasekusithi lapho uJehudi esefundile amakhasi amathathu loba amane, yawasika ngengqamu yombhali, yawaphosela emlilweni osembawuleni, waze watsha waphela umqulu wonke emlilweni osembawuleni.
24 Ɔhene no ne nʼasomfo a wɔtee saa nsɛm yi nyinaa no ammɔ hu, na wɔansunsuane wɔn ntade mu nso.
Kodwa kabesabanga, kabadabulanga izembatho zabo, inkosi lenceku zayo zonke, abawezwayo wonke lamazwi.
25 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Elnatan, Delaia ne Gemaria srɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ ɔnhyew nhoma mmobɔwee no, nanso wantie wɔn.
Loba kunjalo labo oElinathani loDelaya loGemariya beyincenga inkosi ukuthi ingawutshisi umqulu, kodwa kayibalalelanga.
26 Mmom ɔhene no hyɛɛ ne babarima Yerahmeel, Asriel babarima Seraia ne Abdeel babarima Selemia se, wɔnkɔkyere ɔkyerɛwfo Baruk ne odiyifo Yeremia mmra. Nanso na Awurade de wɔn asie.
Kodwa inkosi yalaya uJerameli indodana yenkosi, loSeraya indodana kaAziriyeli, loShelemiya indodana kaAbideli, ukuze babambe uBharukhi umbhali loJeremiya umprofethi; kodwa iNkosi yabafihla.
27 Ɔhene no hyew nhoma mmobɔwee a na nsɛm a Baruk akyerɛw afi Yeremia anum wɔ mu no akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya emva kokuthi inkosi isiwutshisile umqulu lamazwi uBharukhi ayewabhalile evela emlonyeni kaJeremiya, lisithi:
28 “Fa nhoma mmobɔwee foforo, na kyerɛw nsɛm a ɛwɔ kan mmobɔwee a Yudahene Yehoiakim hyew no gu mu.
Zithathele futhi omunye umqulu, ubhale kuwo wonke amazwi okuqala ayesemqulwini wokuqala, uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda eyawatshisayo.
29 Afei ka kyerɛ Yudahene Yehoiakim se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Wohyew nhoma mmobɔwee no kae se: “Adɛn nti na wokyerɛw wɔ mu se ɔkwan biara so, Babiloniahene bɛba abɛsɛe asase yi na watɔre so nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa ase?”
Njalo uzakuthi kuJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Wena utshisile lumqulu, usithi: Ubhaleleni kiwo usithi: Inkosi yeBhabhiloni izafika isibili, ilichithe lelilizwe, yenze ukuthi kuphele kulo abantu lenyamazana?
30 Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Awurade ka fa Yudahene Yehoiakim ho: Ɔrennya obi ntena Dawid ahengua so. Wɔbɛtow ne funu akyene a, wɔrensie no, na wada owia hyew ne anadwo awɔw mu.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana loJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda: Kayikuba lamuntu ohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida; lesidumbu sakhe sizaphoselwa ekutshiseni kwemini lekuqandeni kobusuku.
31 Mɛtwe ɔno ne ne mma ne nʼasomfo aso wɔ wɔn amumɔyɛ nti; mede amanehunu biara a mahyɛ atia wɔn bɛba wɔn ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem ne Yudafo so, efisɛ wɔantie.’”
Ngizamjezisa-ke yena, lenzalo yakhe, lenceku zakhe, ububi babo; ngehlisele phezu kwabo laphezu kwabahlali beJerusalema laphezu kwabantu bakoJuda konke okubi engikukhulume kubo, kodwa kabalalelanga.
32 Na Yeremia faa nhoma mmobɔwee foforo, na ɔka maa ne kyerɛwfo Baruk kyerɛwee. Ɔkaa biribiara a na ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no a ɔhene Yehoiakim hyew no no so. Na ɔde nsɛm pii kaa ho.
UJeremiya wasethatha omunye umqulu, wawunika uBharukhi, indodana kaNeriya, umbhali, owabhala kiwo okuvela emlonyeni kaJeremiya wonke amazwi ogwalo uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda eyalutshisayo ngomlilo; kwengezelelwa-ke kiwo amanye amazwi amanengi afanana lawo.
