Yeremia 38
1 Matan babarima Sefatia, Pashur babarima Gedalia, Selemia babarima Yukal ne Malkia babarima Pashur tee nsɛm a na Yeremia reka akyerɛ nnipa no nyinaa se,
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sefatia ko e foha ʻo Matani, mo Ketalia, ko e foha ʻo Pasuli, mo Sehukali ko e foha ʻo Selemaia, mo Pasuli ko e foha ʻo Malikia, ki he ngaahi lea ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Selemaia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,
2 “Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Obiara a ɔbɛtena kuropɔn yi mu no bewu wɔ afoa, ɔkɔm anaa ɔyaredɔm ano, nanso obiara a ɔbɛkɔ Babiloniafo afa no benya nkwa. Obenya ne ti adidi mu, ɔbɛtena nkwa mu.
“ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ‘Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he kolo ni, te ne mate ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha: ka ko ia ʻe ʻalu kituʻa ki he kau Kalitia te ne moʻui; ʻe ʻiate ia ʻene moʻui ko e koloa kuo vetea, pea te ne moʻui.’
3 Na sɛɛ na Awurade se, ‘Ampa ara, wɔde saa kuropɔn yi bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene asraafo nsa, na wɔn na wobedi so.’”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe foaki ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe kau tau ʻo Papilone, pea te nau kapa ia.’”
4 Ɛno nti adwumayɛfo no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum saa ɔbarima yi. Ɔde nsɛm a ɔreka no bu asraafo a wɔaka wɔ kuropɔn yi mu ne nnipa no nyinaa aba mu. Saa ɔbarima yi nhwehwɛ saa nnipa yi yiyedi na mmom wɔn sɛe.”
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻae houʻeiki ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, tuku ke tāmateʻi ʻae tangata ni: he ʻoku ne fakavaivaiʻi ʻae nima ʻoe kau tangata tau ʻoku kei toe ʻi he kolo ni, pea mo e nima ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea pehē kiate kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻikai kumi ʻe he tangata ni ʻae lelei ʻoe kakai ni, ka ko e kovi.”
5 Ɔhene Sedekia buae se, “Ɔwɔ mo nsam, ɔhene rentumi nyɛ biribiara ntia mo.”
Pea pehē mai ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi homou nima ia: he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he tuʻi ha meʻa kiate kimoutolu.”
6 Enti wɔfaa Yeremia de no kɔhyɛɛ ɔhene babarima Malkia abura a ɛwɔ awɛmfo adiwo no mu. Wɔde ntampehama gyaagyaa no too abura no mu; na nsu nni mu, mmom dontori na na ɛwɔ mu, enti Yeremia kɔhyɛɛ dontori no mu.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻa Selemaia, ʻo lī ia ki he fale fakapoʻuli ʻo Malikia ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula: pea naʻe tukutuku hifo ʻaki ʻa Selemaia ʻae ngaahi maea. Ka naʻe ʻikai ha vai ʻi he fale fakapoʻuli, ka ko e kele pe; pea naʻe ngalo hifo ʻa Selemaia ʻi he kele.
7 Na Ebed-Melek Kusni odwumayɛni a ɔwɔ ahemfi hɔ tee sɛ wɔde Yeremia akɔto abura no mu. Bere a ɔhene no te Benyamin Pon hɔ no,
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻIpetemeleki, ko e ʻItiopea, ko e tangata talifekau ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, kuo tuku ʻa Selemaia ki he fale fakapoʻuli; pea ʻoku nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻi he matapā ʻo Penisimani,
8 Ebed-Melek fii ahemfi hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no se,
Naʻe ʻalu atu mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻa ʻIpetemeleki, ʻo lea ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē,
9 “Ɔdɛɛfo, nea saa nnipa yi ayɛ nyinaa yɛ amumɔyɛsɛm a etia odiyifo Yeremia. Wɔatow no akyene abura mu, baabi a ɔkɔm bekum no wɔ bere a brodo asa wɔ kuropɔn yi mu.”
“Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku kovi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe he kau tangata ni kia Selemaia ko e palōfita, ʻaia kuo nau lī ki he fale fakapoʻuli, he te ne mate fiekaia ʻi he potu ko ia: he ʻoku ʻikai kei toe ha mā ʻi he kolo.”
10 Na ɔhene hyɛɛ Kusni, Ebed-Melek se, “Fa mmarima aduasa fi ha ka wo ho, na munkoyi odiyifo Yeremia mfi abura no mu, ansa na wawu.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻa ʻIpetemeleki ko e ʻItiopea, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu mo koe ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungofulu, pea toʻo hake ʻa Selemaia ko e palōfita mei he fale fakapōpula, ʻi he teʻeki ai te ne mate.”
11 Ɛno nti Ebed-Melek faa mmarima no kaa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɔdan bi a ɛwɔ adekorabea ase, wɔ ahemfi hɔ. Ɔkɔsesaw ntamagow ne ntade dedaw de kyekyeree ntampehama ho, gyaa mu maa Yeremia wɔ abura no mu.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻIpetemeleki ʻae kau tangata pea nau ʻo mo ia ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ki lalo ʻi he tukuʻanga koloa, pea toʻo mei ai ʻae ngaahi kofu motuʻa pea mahaehae, ʻo tukutuku hifo ia mo e ngaahi maea ki he fale fakapoʻuli kia Selemaia.
12 Na Kusni, Ebed-Melek ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia se, “Fa ntamagow ne ntade dedaw no hyehyɛ wo mmotuam, na ntampehama no ammia wo.” Na Yeremia yɛɛ saa,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻa ʻIpetemeleki ko e ʻItiopea kia Selemaia, “Ai ni ʻae ngaahi kofu motuʻa pea mahaehae ʻi ho lalo faʻefine pea mo e ngaahi maea.” Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Selemaia.
13 Wɔde ntampehama no twetwee no yii no fii abura no mu. Na Yeremia tenaa awɛmfo adiwo hɔ.
Pea naʻa nau fusi hake ʻa Selemaia mo e ngaahi maea, pea ʻave ia mei he fale fakapōpula: ka ka nofo ʻa Selemaia ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula.
14 Na Ɔhene Sedekia soma ma wɔkɔfaa odiyifo Yeremia baa Awurade asɔredan ano kwan a ɛto so abiɛsa hɔ. Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia se, “Merebebisa wo asɛm bi, mfa biribiara nsie me.”
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi, pea ʻomi ʻa Selemaia, ko e palōfita kiate ia ki he hūʻanga lahi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Selemaia, “Te u fehuʻi kiate koe ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ha meʻa ʻiate au.”
15 Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Sedekia se, “Sɛ mema wo mmuae a, worenkum me ana? Mpo sɛ mitu wo fo a, worentie me.”
Pea pehē ʻe Selemaia kia Setikia, “Kapau te u fakahā ia kiate koe, ʻoku moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te ke tāmateʻi au? Pea kapau te u akonakiʻi koe te ke fanongo kiate au?”
16 Nanso ɔhene Sedekia kaa saa ntam yi kokoa mu kyerɛɛ Yeremia se, “Sɛ Awurade a ɔma yɛn nkwa no te ase yi, merenkum wo na meremfa wo nhyɛ wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wokum wo no nsa.”
Pea naʻe fuakava fakafufū ʻa Setikia kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo ngaohi kiate kitaua ʻae laumālie ni, ʻe ʻikai te u tāmateʻi koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u tukuange koe ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata ni ʻoku kumi hoʻo moʻui.”
17 Afei Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Sedekia se, “Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn, no se: ‘Sɛ wode wo ho ma Babiloniahene adwumayɛfo a, wɔrenkum wo na wɔrenhyew kuropɔn yi, wo ne wʼabusuafo bɛtena nkwa mu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selemaia kia Setikia, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Ko e moʻoni kapau te ke ʻalu atu ki he houʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻe moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai tutu ʻaki ʻae kolo ni ʻae afi, pea te ke moʻui, mo ho fale:
18 Na sɛ woremfa wo ho mma Babiloniahene adwumayɛfo a, wɔde saa kuropɔn yi bɛma Babiloniafo, na wɔbɛhyew no dwerɛbee; na wo ankasa rentumi nguan mfi wɔn nsam.’”
pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu ki he houʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ʻe toki foaki ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea te nau tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hao ʻi honau nima.’”
19 Ɔhene Sedekia ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia se, “Misuro Yudafo a wɔkɔ Babiloniafo afa no, efisɛ ebia Babiloniafo no de me bɛma wɔn na wɔayɛ me ayayade.”
Pea pehē ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi kia Selemaia, “ʻOku ou manavahē ki he kau Siu kuo hola ki he kau Kalitia, telia naʻa nau tukuange au ki honau nima, pea te nau manukiʻi au.”
20 Yeremia buae se, “Wɔremfa wo mma wɔn. Tie Awurade asɛm na yɛ nea meka kyerɛ wo. Ɛno na ɛbɛma asi wo yiye na woanya nkwa.
Pea pehē ʻe Selemaia, “ʻE ʻikai te nau tukuange koe. ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe: pea ko ia ʻe hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea ʻe moʻui ho laumālie.
21 Nanso sɛ woamfa wo ho amma Babiloniafo no de a, nea Awurade ayi akyerɛ me ni:
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu, ko eni ʻae lea kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova kiate au:
22 Mmea a wɔaka wɔ Yudahene ahemfi hɔ nyinaa no, wɔde wɔn befi adi abrɛ Babiloniahene adwumayɛfo no. Saa mmea no bɛka akyerɛ wo se, “‘Wɔdaadaa wo na wodii wo so wo nnamfonom a wugye wɔn di no. Wʼanan amem wɔ dontori mu; wo nnamfonom agyaw wo hɔ kɔ.’
‘ʻIo, vakai, ko e fefine kotoa pē ʻoku kei toe ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he houʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te nau lea ʻo pehē, “Kuo akonakiʻi koe ʻe ho kāinga, pea kuo nau ikuna koe: kuo moʻua ho vaʻe ʻi he kele, pea kuo nau tafoki kimui.”
23 “Wɔde wo yerenom nyinaa ne wo mma bɛbrɛ Babiloniafo no. Wo de, worentumi nguan mfi wɔn nsam, na mmom Babiloniahene bɛkyere wo, na wɔbɛhyew saa kuropɔn yi.”
Pea te nau ʻomi ho ngaahi uaifi kotoa pē mo hoʻo fānau ki he kau Kalitia: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hao ʻi honau nima, ka ʻe puke nima koe ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone: pea ʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae kolo ni koeʻuhi ko koe.’”
24 Na Sedekia ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia se, “Mma obiara nte saa nkɔmmɔdi yi, anyɛ saa a, wubewu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Setikia kia Selemaia, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ke ʻilo ʻe ha tangata ʻae ngaahi lea ni, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke mate.
25 Sɛ adwumayɛfo no te sɛ me ne wo kasae, na wobebisa wo se, ‘Ma yɛnte nea woka kyerɛɛ ɔhene ne nea ɔhene nso ka kyerɛɛ wo; mfa nsie yɛn anyɛ saa a yebekum wo a,’
Pea kapau ʻe fanongo ʻe he houʻeiki kuo tā alea mo koe, pea te nau haʻu kiate koe, pea pehē kiate koe, ‘Fakahā mai kiate kimautolu ʻaia kuo ke tala ki he tuʻi, ʻoua naʻa fakafufū ia ʻiate kimautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te mau tāmateʻi koe; pea mo e meʻa foki kuo lea ʻaki ʻe he tuʻi kiate koe:’
26 ɛno de ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Na meresrɛ ɔhene sɛ ɔmmfa me nsan nkɔ Yonatan fi mma me nkowu wɔ hɔ.’”
Pea ke ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻaku fai ʻeku kole ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ke ʻoua naʻa pule ia ke toe ʻave au ki he fale ʻo Sonatani ke u mate ai.’”
27 Adwumayɛfo no nyinaa baa Yeremia hɔ bebisaa no, na ɔkaa nea ɔhene hyɛɛ no se ɔnka no nyinaa. Enti wɔanka hwee ankyerɛ no bio, efisɛ obiara ante ɔne ɔhene nkɔmmɔtwetwe no.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē kia Selemaia pea fehuʻi kiate ia: pea ne fakahā kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi. Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau toe lea kiate ia; he naʻe ʻikai ke hā mai ʻae talanoa.
28 Na Yeremia tenaa ɔwɛmfo adiwo hɔ kosii da a wɔfaa Yerusalem. Sɛnea wɔfaa Yerusalem ni:
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Selemaia ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe kapa ai ʻa Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻi ai ia ʻi he kapa ʻo Selūsalema.
