Yeremia 46
1 Eyi ne asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn baa odiyifo Yeremia hɔ a ɛfa aman no ho.
Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya umphrofethi mayelana lezizwe:
2 Nea ɛfa Misraim ho: Eyi ne nsɛm a etia Misraimhene Farao Neko asraafo a Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar dii wɔn so nkonim wɔ Karkemis, Asubɔnten Eufrate ho wɔ Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim adedi afe a ɛto so anan no:
Mayelana leGibhithe: Leli yilizwi elimayelana lebutho likaFaro Nekho inkosi yaseGibhithe, elanqotshwayo eKharikhemishi emfuleni iYufrathe nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda:
3 “Siesie wo nkatabo akɛse ne nketewa nyinaa, na muntu santen nkɔ ɔsa!
“Lungisani amahawu enu, amakhulu lamancane, liphume liye empini.
4 Munsiesie apɔnkɔ no, na momforo ntenatena wɔn so. Munnyinagyina mo afa a mohyehyɛ mo nnade kyɛw! Monsew mo mpeaw ano, na monhyɛ mo nkatabo.
Bophani amabhiza, liwagade! Manini ezindaweni zenu lilezingowane zenu! Lolani imikhonto yenu, ligqoke impahla zempi!
5 Dɛn na mihu? Wɔabɔ hu, wɔresan wɔn akyi, wɔn dɔmmarima adi nkogu. Woguan ntɛm so a wɔnhwɛ wɔn akyi, na ehu wɔ baabiara,” Awurade na ose.
Kuyini engikubonayo? Bayesaba, bahlehlela emuva, amabutho abo ehlulwe. Abaleka ngesiqubu anganyemukuli, njalo kulokwesaba izindawo zonke,” kutsho uThixo.
6 Ɔhoɔharefo ntumi nguan, na ɔhoɔdenfo nso saa ara. Atifi fam wɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho wohintihintiw na wɔhwehwe ase.
“Olejubane kasoze abaleke kumbe olamandla aphephe. Ngasenyakatho, emfuleni iYufrathe bayakhubeka bawe.
7 “Hena, na ɔma ne homene so sɛ Asubɔnten Nil, sɛ nsubɔnten a mu nsu woro yi?
Ngubani lo ophakama njengeNayili, njengemifula elamanzi agubhazelayo na?
8 Misraim ma ne homene so sɛ Nil, sɛ nsubɔnten a mu nsu woro. Ɔka se, ‘Mɛsɔre akata asase no so; mɛsɛe nkuropɔn ne mu nnipa.’
IGibhithe liphakama njengeNayili, njengemifula elamanzi agubhazelayo. Lithi: ‘Ngizaphakama ngembese umhlaba; ngizachitha amadolobho labantu bawo.’
9 Monkɔ mo anim, apɔnkɔ! Monka wɔn anibere so, mo nteaseɛnamkafo! Muntu nteɛ, dɔmmarima, Kus ne Put mmarima a mukura nkatabo, Lidia mmarima a motow agyan.
Hlaselani, lina mabhiza! Qhubekani ngentukuthelo, lina zinqola zempi! Yanini phambili, lina mabutho, madoda aseKhushi lawePhuthi, aphatha amahawu, madoda aseLudi agoba idandili.
10 Nanso da no yɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade dea, aweretɔda, nʼatamfo so aweretɔ. Afoa bekunkum akosi sɛ ɔbɛmee, akosi bere a ɔde mogya bedwudwo ne osukɔm ano. Efisɛ, Awurade, Asafo Awurade bɛbɔ afɔre wɔ atifi fam asase a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate ho no so.
Kodwa usuku lolo ngolweNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, usuku lokuphindisela, olokuphindisela ezitheni zakhe. Inkemba izakudla ize isuthe, ize icitshe ukoma kwayo ngegazi. Ngoba iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla uzanikela umhlatshelo elizweni lasenyakatho ngasemfuleni iYufrathe.
11 “Foro kɔ Gilead kogye aduru Misraim Babea Ɔbabun. Nanso nnuru bebrebe a wofa no yɛ ɔkwa, ayaresa biara nni hɔ ma wo.
Yana eGiliyadi uyethatha umuthi wokwelapha, wena Ndodakazi egcweleyo yaseGibhithe. Kodwa imithi uyandisela ize; akukho kusila kuwe.
12 Amanaman no bɛte wʼanimguase; wʼagyaadwo bɛhyɛ asase so ma. Ɔkofo baako behintiw afa ɔfoforo so; na wɔn baanu bɛbɔ mu ahwe ase.”
Izizwe zizakuzwa ngehlazo lakho; ukukhala kwakho kuzagcwala umhlaba. Elinye ibutho lizakhubeka kwelinye; womabili azawela phansi ndawonye.”
13 Eyi ne asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ odiyifo Yeremia a ɛfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ba a ɔbɛba abɛtow ahyɛ Misraim so:
Leli yilizwi uThixo alikhuluma kuJeremiya umphrofethi ngokuza kukaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ukuba ahlasele iGibhithe:
14 “Mommɔ eyi ho dawuru wɔ Misraim, na mompae mu nka wɔ Migdol; monka wɔ Memfis ne Tapanhes nso se, ‘Munnyinagyina na monyɛ krado, efisɛ, afoa rekunkum wɔn a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia.’
“Memezelani lokhu eGibhithe, likubike laseMigidoli; kumemezeleni njalo laseMemfisi laseThahiphanesi lithi: ‘Manini ezindaweni zenu lilunge, ngoba inkemba idla abakhelene lani.’
15 Adɛn nti na mo dɔmmarima bɛbotow sɛɛ? Wɔrentumi nnyina, efisɛ, Awurade bɛbɔ wɔn ahwe fam.
Amabutho enu azabulawelwani na? Angeke ame, ngoba uThixo uzawalahlela phansi.
16 Wobehintihintiw atoatoa so; wɔbɛhwehwe ase adeda wɔn ho wɔn ho so. Wɔbɛka se, ‘Monsɔre, momma yɛnkɔ yɛn nkyi nkɔ yɛn nkurɔfo nkyɛn ne faako a wɔwoo yɛn, na yemfi nhyɛsofo no afoa ano.’
Azakhubeka kokuphela; azakuwa elekane. Azakuthi, ‘Vukani, kasibuyeleni emuva ebantwini bakithi lasemazweni akithi, kude kwenkemba yomncindezeli.’
17 Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛteɛ mu se, ‘Misraimhene Farao tu ne ho kwa; nʼakwannya a ɔwɔ no atwa mu.’
Khonale bazamemeza bathi, ‘UFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe ingumsindo omkhulu nje kuphela; uselahlekelwe lithuba lakhe.’
18 “Ampa ara sɛ mete ase yi” Ɔhene a ne din ne Asafo Awurade na ose, “Ɔbaako bɛba a ɔte sɛ Tabor wɔ mmepɔw no mu, sɛ Karmel wɔ mpoano.
Ngeqiniso elinjengokuthi ngikhona,” kutsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguThixo uSomandla, “kuzafika omunye onjengoThabhori phakathi kwezintaba, njengoKhameli ngasolwandle.
19 Mommoaboa mo nneɛma ano ntwɛn nnommumfa, mo a motete Misraim, efisɛ wɔbɛsɛe Memfis kurow na ɛbɛda mpan a obiara rentena mu.
Lungisani impahla zekuthunjweni, lina abahlala eGibhithe, ngoba iMemfisi izadilizwa ibe lunxiwa olungahlali muntu.
20 “Misraim yɛ nantwi ba bere a ne ho yɛ fɛ, nanso ɔtɛn bi fi atifi fam reba ne so.
IGibhithe ilithokazi elihle, kodwa isibawu siyeza silisongela sivela enyakatho.
21 Asraafo apaafo a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no te sɛ nantwimma a wɔadodɔ srade. Wɔn nso bɛdan wɔn ho abɔ mu aguan, wɔrentumi nnyina wɔn anan so, efisɛ amanehunu da no reba wɔn so, bere a wɔde bɛtwe wɔn aso no.
Amabutho okuqatshwa aphakathi kwalo anjengamathole anonisiweyo. Lawo azaphenduka abaleke endawonye, kawayikuma, ngoba usuku lomonakalo luyeza phezu kwabo, isikhathi sabo sokujeziswa.
22 Misraim bɛteɛ mu sɛ ɔwɔ a ɔreguan bere a ɔtamfo de ahoɔden reba ne so no; wɔde mmonnua bɛba ne so te sɛ, mmarima a wobu nnua.
IGibhithe izakhwaza njengenyoka ebalekayo lapho isitha sisondela ngobunengi baso; sizayihlasela ngamahloka okwabantu abagamula izihlahla.
23 Wɔbɛsɛe ne kwae,” Awurade na ose, “sɛnea ayɛ kusuu yi mpo. Wɔdɔɔso bebree sen mmoadabi, na wɔrentumi nkan wɔn.
Sizagamula amahlathi ayo,” kutsho uThixo, “lanxa eminyene kanjani. Banengi kulentethe, ngeke babalwe.
24 Wobegu Misraim Babea anim ase, wɔde no bɛhyɛ atifi fam nnipa no nsa.”
Indodakazi yaseGibhithe izayangiswa, inikelwe ebantwini basenyakatho.”
25 Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka se, “Mede asotwe reba Tebes nyame Amon, Farao, Misraim ne nʼanyame ne nʼahemfo ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to Farao so no so.
UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: “Sekuseduze ukuba ngijezise u-Amoni unkulunkulu waseThebesi, loFaro, leGibhithe kanye labonkulunkulu balo lamakhosi alo, lalabo abathembe uFaro.
26 Mede wɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wokum wɔn no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne nʼadwumayɛfo no nsa. Nanso akyiri no, nnipa bɛtena Misraim asase so te sɛ kan no,” Awurade na ose.
Ngizabanikela kulabo abafuna ukubabulala, kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lezikhulu zakhe. Kodwa muva, iGibhithe lizahlalwa ngabantu futhi njengasezinsukwini zakudala,” kutsho uThixo.
27 “Nsuro, Yakob me somfo; nni yaw, Israel. Ampa ara megye wo afi beae a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri, ne wʼasefo afi wɔn nnommumfa asase so Yakob bɛsan anya asomdwoe ne bammɔ, na obiara renhunahuna no.
“Ungesabi, wena Jakhobe nceku yami; ungathuthumeli, wena Israyeli. Impela ngizakukhulula endaweni ekude, lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo. UJakhobe uzakuba lokuthula futhi kanye lokuvikeleka, njalo kakho ozamthuthumelisa.
28 Nsuro, Yakob me somfo; na me ne wo wɔ hɔ,” Awurade na ose. “Ɛwɔ mu, mesɛe aman no nyinaa koraa aman a mehwetee mo kɔɔ so no de, nanso merensɛe mo korakora. Mede trenee nko ara na ɛbɛteɛteɛ mo so; meremma mommfa mo ho nni a merentwe mo aso.”
Ungesabi wena Jakhobe nceku yami ngoba ngilawe,” kutsho uThixo. “Lanxa ngizachitha ngokupheleleyo izizwe zonke engakuhlakazela kuzo, wena angiyikukuchitha ngokupheleleyo. Ngizakujezisa kodwa ngokufaneleyo kuphela; angiyikukuyekela nje ungajeziswanga.”
