Yeremia 50
1 Asɛm a Awurade nam odiyifo Yeremia so ka faa Babilonia ne Babiloniafo asase ho ni:
The word which the Lord spak of Babiloyne, and of the lond of Caldeis, in the hond of Jeremye, the profete.
2 “Mommɔ no dawuru na mompae mu nka wɔ amanaman mu. Momma frankaa so na mompae mu nka; na momma wɔnte sɛ, ‘Wɔbɛfa Babilonia; wobegu Bel anim ase, na ehu bɛhyɛ Merodak ma. Wobegu ne nsɛsode anim ase na ehu bɛhyɛ nʼahoni ma.’
Telle ye among hethene men, and make ye herd; reise ye a signe; preche ye, and nyle ye holde stille; seie ye, Babiloyne is takun, Bel is schent, Maradach is ouer comun; the grauun ymagis therof ben schent, the idols of hem ben ouer comun.
3 Ɔman bi fi atifi fam bɛtow ahyɛ ne so na wɔbɛyɛ nʼasase amamfo. Obiara rentena so; nnipa ne mmoa beguan afi so.
For a folk schal stie fro the north ayenus it, which folk schal sette the lond therof in to wildirnesse; and noon schal be that schal dwelle therynne, fro man `til to beeste; and thei ben moued, and yeden a wei.
4 “Nna no mu ne saa bere no,” Awurade na ose, “Israelfo ne Yudafo bɛka abɔ mu de nusu akɔhwehwɛ wɔn Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn.
In tho daies, and in that tyme, seith the Lord, the sones of Israel schulen come, thei and the sones of Juda togidere, goynge and wepynge; thei schulen haaste, and seke her Lord God in Sion,
5 Wobebisa ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Sion na wɔde wɔn ani akyerɛ hɔ. Wɔbɛba de wɔn ho abɛbɔ Awurade wɔ daa apam a werɛ remfi mu.
and thei schulen axe the weie. Hidur the faces of hem schulen come, and thei schulen be set to the Lord with boond of pees euerlastynge, which schal not be don awei by ony foryetyng.
6 “Me nkurɔfo ayɛ nguan a wɔayera; wɔn nguanhwɛfo ama wɔafom ɔkwan ma wokyinkyin mmepɔw so. Wokyinkyin bepɔw ne koko so na wɔn werɛ fii wɔn ankasa homebea.
My puple is maad a lost floc, the scheepherdis of hem disseyueden hem, and maden to go vnstabli in hillis; thei passiden fro mounteyn in to a litil hil, thei foryaten her bed.
7 Obiara a ohuu wɔn no tetew wɔn mu: wɔn atamfo kae se, ‘Yenni fɔ, efisɛ wɔyɛɛ bɔne tiaa Awurade, wɔn nokware didibea no, Awurade wɔn agyanom anidaso no.’
Alle men that founden, eeten hem, and the enemyes of hem seiden, We synneden not, for that thei synneden to the Lord, the fairnesse of riytfulnesse, and to the Lord, the abidyng of her fadris.
8 “Munguan mfi Babilonia; mumfi Babiloniafo asase so, na monyɛ sɛ mpapo a wodi nguankuw anim.
Go ye awei fro the myddis of Babiloyne, and go ye out of the lond of Caldeis, and be ye as kydis bifore the floc.
9 Mɛkanyan amanaman akɛse nkabom afi atifi fam asase so de wɔn abɛko atia Babilonia. Wobegyinagyina wɔn afa atia no, wobefi atifi fam ako afa no. Wɔn agyan bɛyɛ sɛ dɔmmarima a wɔakwadaw akodi mu, wɔn a wɔmmfa nsapan nsan wɔn akyi.
For lo! Y schal reise, and brynge in to Babiloyne the gaderyng togidere of grete folkis, fro the lond of the north; and thei schulen be maad redi ayens it, and it schal be takun in the dai; the arowe therof as of a strong man a sleere, schal not turne ayen voide.
10 Enti wɔbɛfow Babilonia; wɔn a wɔfow no nyinaa benya asade bebree,” Awurade na ose.
And Caldee schal be in to prey, alle that distrien it, schulen be fillid, seith the Lord.
11 “Esiane sɛ mo ani gye na mudi ahurusi, mo a mofow mʼagyapade, sɛ muhuruhuruw anigye so te sɛ nantwiforo a ɔwɔ sare frɔmfrɔm mu na musu te sɛ apɔnkɔnini nti,
For ye maken ful out ioye, and speken grete thingis, and rauyschen myn eritage; for ye ben sched out as caluys on erbe, and lowiden as bolis.
12 wo na ani bewu pa ara; nea ɔwoo wo anim begu ase. Ɔbɛyɛ akumaa wɔ amanaman no mu, sare, asase wosee ne nweatam.
Youre modir is schent greetli, and sche that gendride you, is maad euene to dust; lo! sche schal be the last among folkis, and forsakun, with out weie, and drie.
13 Awurade abufuw nti, obiara rentena hɔ na ɛbɛda mpan korakora. Wɔn a wotwa mu wɔ Babilonia nyinaa ho bedwiriw wɔn na wɔadi ne ho fɛw esiane nʼapirakuru nyinaa nti.
For the wraththe of the Lord it schal not be enhabitid, but it schal be dryuun al in to wildirnesse; ech that schal passe bi Babiloyne, schal wondre, and schal hisse on alle the woundis therof.
14 “Munnyinagyina mo afa ntwa Babilonia ho nhyia, mo a motow agyan nyinaa. Montow no! Munnyaw bɛmma biara, efisɛ wayɛ bɔne atia Awurade.
Alle ye that beenden bowe, be maad redi ayens Babiloyne bi cumpas; ouercome ye it, spare ye not arowis, for it synnede to the Lord.
15 Monteɛ mu ntia no wɔ afanan nyinaa! Ɔma ne nsa so, nʼabandennen bubu, wodwiriw nʼafasu gu fam. Esiane sɛ eyi yɛ Awurade aweretɔ no nti, montɔ ne so were; monyɛ no sɛnea wayɛ afoforo no.
Crye ye ayens it, euery where it yaf hond; the foundementis therof fellen doun, and the wallis therof ben distried; for it is the veniaunce of the Lord. Take ye veniaunce of it; as it dide, do ye to it.
16 Munyi ogufo mfi Babilonia, ɔne otwafo a okura ne kantankrankyi wɔ otwabere mu no. Esiane nhyɛsofo no afoa nti obiara nsan nkɔ ne nkurɔfo mu, obiara nguan nkɔ nʼankasa asase so.
Leese ye a sowere of Babiloyne, and hym that holdith a sikil in the tyme of heruest, fro the face of swerd of the culuer; ech man schal be turned to his puple, and ech man schal flee to his lond.
17 “Israel yɛ nguankuw a wɔahwete a gyata apam wɔn. Nea odii kan tetew ne mu yɛ Asiriahene; na nea ɔdwerɛwee ne nnompe akyiri no yɛ Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar.”
Israel is a scaterid flok, liouns castiden out it; first kyng Assur eete it, this laste Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, dide awei the bonys therof.
18 Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: “Mɛtwe Babiloniahene ne nʼasase aso sɛnea metwee Asiriahene aso no.
Therfor the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal visite the kyng of Babiloyne, and his lond, as Y visitide the kyng of Assur;
19 Na mede Israel bɛsan aba nʼankasa didibea, na obedidi wɔ Karmel ne Basan; ɔbɛmee wɔ Efraim ne Gilead nkoko so.
and Y schal brynge ayen Israel to his dwellyng place. Carmele and Baasan schal be fed, and his soule schal be fillid in the hil of Effraym, and of Galaad.
20 Saa nna no ne saa bere no,” Awurade na ose, “Wɔbɛhwehwɛ Israel afɔbu mu, nanso wɔrennya bi, wɔbɛhwehwɛ Yuda nnebɔne mu, nanso wɔrenhu bi, efisɛ, mede nkae a migyaa wɔn no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn.
In tho daies, and in that tyme, seith the Lord, the wickidnesse of Israel schal be souyt, and it schal not be; and the synne of Juda schal be souyt, and it schal not be foundun; for Y schal be merciful to hem, whiche Y schal forsake.
21 “Montow nhyɛ Merataim asase so ne nnipa a wɔte Pekod. Montaa wɔn, munkunkum wɔn na monsɛe wɔn korakora,” Awurade na ose. “Monyɛ biribiara a mahyɛ mo no.
Stie thou on the lond of lordis, and visite thou on the dwelleris therof; scatere thou, and sle tho thingis, that ben aftir hem, seith the Lord; and do thou bi alle thingis which Y comaundide to thee.
22 Ɔko mu gyegyeegye wɔ asase no so, ɔsɛe kɛse nnyigyei!
The vois of batel and greet sorewe in the lond.
23 Hwɛ sɛnea wɔabubu na wɔabobɔ asase nyinaa so asae! Hwɛ sɛnea Babilonia ada mpan wɔ amanaman no mu!
Hou is the hamer of al erthe brokun and al defoulid? hou is Babiloyne turned in to desert, among hethene men?
24 Misum wo afiri, Babilonia, na eyii wo ansa na worehu; wohuu wo kyeree wo efisɛ woko tiaa Awurade.
Babiloyne, Y haue snarid thee, and thou art takun, and thou wistist not; thou art foundun, and takun, for thou terridist the Lord to wraththe.
25 Otumfo Awurade abue nʼakode adekoradan na wayi nʼabufuwhyew akode de apue, efisɛ Asafo Awurade wɔ adwuma yɛ wɔ Babiloniafo asase so.
The Lord openide his tresour, and brouyte forth the vessels of his wraththe; for whi a werk is to the Lord God of oostis in the lond of Caldeis.
26 Mumfi akyirikyiri mmra ne so. Mummubu nʼasan no ani; monhɔre no siw sɛ awi akuwakuw. Monsɛe no korakora na munnyaw nkae biara mma no.
Come ye to it fro the fertheste endis, opene ye, that thei go out, that schulen defoule it; take ye awei stoonys fro the weie, and dryue ye in to heepis, and sle ye it, and nothing be residue.
27 Munkunkum nʼanatwinini nyinaa; momfa wɔn nkɔ mma wonkokum wɔn! Mmusu nka wɔn! Efisɛ wɔn da no adu, bere a wɔde bɛtwe wɔn aso no.
Distrie ye alle the stronge men therof, go thei doun in to sleynge; wo to hem, for the dai of hem cometh, the tyme of visityng of hem.
28 Muntie akobɔfo ne aguanfo a wofi Babilonia no sɛ wɔreka wɔ Sion sɛnea Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn atɔ were, nʼasɔrefi ho aweretɔ.
The vois of fleeris, and of hem that ascapiden fro the lond of Babiloyne, that thei telle in Sion the veniaunce of oure Lord God, the veniaunce of his temple.
29 “Momfrɛ agyantowfo nkɔtoa Babilonia, wɔn a wɔtow agyan nyinaa. Muntwa ne ho nhyia; mommma obiara nguan. Muntua ne nneyɛe so ka; monyɛ no sɛnea wayɛ. Efisɛ wabu Awurade animtiaa, Israel kronkronni no.
Telle ye ayens Babiloyne to ful many men, to alle that beenden bowe. Stonde ye togidere ayens it bi cumpas, and noon ascape; yelde ye to it aftir his werk, aftir alle thingis whiche it dide, do ye to it; for it was reisid ayens the Lord, ayens the hooli of Israel.
30 Enti ne mmerante bɛtotɔ wɔ mmɔnten so; wɔbɛtɔre nʼasraafo nyinaa ase saa da no,” Awurade na ose.
Therfor yonge men therof schulen falle doun in the stretis therof, and alle men werriours therof schulen be stille in that dai, seith the Lord.
31 “Hwɛ, mikyi wo; ɔhantanni.” Awurade, Asafo Awurade na ose, “efisɛ wo da no adu bere a wɔde bɛtwe wʼaso no.
Lo! thou proude, Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis, for thi dai is comun, the tyme of thi visitacioun.
32 Ɔhantanni no behintiw na wahwe ase, obiara remmoa no mma ɔnnsɔre; mɛto ne nkurow mu gya na ahyew wɔn a atwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa.”
And the proude schal falle, and schal falle doun togidere, and noon schal be, that schal reise hym; and Y schal kyndle fier in the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure alle thingis in cumpas of it.
33 Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: “Wɔhyɛ Israelfo so, na Yudafo nso saa ara. Wɔn nnommumfafo no kura wɔn dennen a wɔmpɛ sɛ wogyaa wɔn ma wɔkɔ.
The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, The sones of Israel and the sones of Juda togidere suffren fals caleng; alle that token hem, holden, thei nylen delyuere hem.
34 Nanso wɔn Gyefo yɛ ɔhoɔdenfo; ne din ne Asafo Awurade. Obedi wɔn asɛm ama wɔn anibere so, sɛnea ɔde ahotɔ bɛba wɔn asase no so, na wɔn a wɔte Babilonia no nea wahyɛ wɔn ahometew.
The ayenbyere of hem is strong, the Lord of oostis is his name; bi dom he schal defende the cause of hem, that he make the lond aferd, and stire togidere the dwelleris of Babiloyne.
35 “Afoa a etia Babiloniafo!” Awurade na ose, “etia wɔn a wɔte Babilonia na etia nʼadwumayɛfo ne nʼanyansafo!
A swerd to Caldeis, seith the Lord, and to the dwelleris of Babiloyne, and to the princes, and to the wise men therof.
36 Afoa a etia nʼatoro adiyifo! Wɔbɛdan nkwaseafo. Afoa a etia nʼakofo! Ehu bɛhyɛ wɔn ma.
A swerd to the false dyuynours therof, that schulen be foolis; a swerd to the stronge men therof, that schulen drede.
37 Afoa a etia nʼapɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam ne ananafo a wɔwɔ wɔn mu nyinaa! Wɔbɛdan mmea. Afoa a etia nʼademude! Wɔbɛfom.
Swerd to the horsis therof, and to the charis therof, and to al the comyn puple whiche is in the myddis therof, and thei schulen be as wymmen; a swerd to the tresours therof, that schulen be rauyschid.
38 Ɔyow wɔ nʼasu ahorow so! Ɛbɛyoyow. Efisɛ ɛyɛ ahoni asase, ahoni a ehu bɛma wɔabobɔ adam.
Drynesse schal be on the watris therof, and tho schulen be drye; for it is the lond of grauun ymagis, and hath glorie in false feynyngis.
39 “Enti sare so mmoa ne mpataku bɛtena hɔ, na ɛhɔ na patu bɛtena. Obiara rentena so bio efi awo ntoatoaso kosi awo ntoatoaso.
Therfor dragouns schulen dwelle with fonned wielde men, and ostrigis schulen dwelle therynne; and it schal no more be enhabitid `til in to with outen ende, and it schal not be bildid `til to generacioun and generacioun;
40 Sɛnea Onyankopɔn tuu Sodom ne Gomora ne wɔn nkurow gui no,” Awurade na ose, “saa ara na obiara rentena hɔ; onipa biara rentena mu.
as the Lord distriede Sodom and Gomorre, and the niy citees therof, seith the Lord. A man schal not dwelle there, and the sone of man schal not dwelle in it.
41 “Monhwɛ! Asraafo bi fi atifi fam reba; ɔman kɛse ne ahemfo bebree, wɔrehwanyan wɔn afi nsase ano.
Lo! a puple cometh fro the north, and a greet folc, and many kyngis schulen rise togidere fro the endis of erthe.
42 Wokurakura bɛmma ne mpeaw; wɔn tirim yɛ den, na wonni ahummɔbɔ. Wɔn nnyigyei te sɛ po a ɛworo so. Sɛ wɔtete wɔn apɔnkɔ so a, wɔba sɛ mmarima a wɔrekɔ sa abɛtow ahyɛ wo so, Ɔbabea Babilonia.
Thei schulen take bowe and swerd, thei ben cruel and vnmerciful; the vois of hem schal sowne as the see, and thei schulen stie on horsis as a man maad redi to batel, ayens thee, thou douyter of Babiloyne.
43 Babiloniahene ate wɔn ho nsɛm, ne nsa sesa ne ho kwa. Ahohiahia akyekyere no ɔyaw a ɛte sɛ ɔbea a ɔrekyem wɔ awo so.
The kyng of Babiloyne herde the fame of hem, and hise hondis ben aclumsid; angwisch took hym, sorewe took hym, as a womman trauelynge of child.
44 Sɛnea gyata a ofi Yordan nkyɛkyerɛ mu rekɔ adidibea frɔmfrɔm no, saa ara na mɛtaa Babilonia fi nʼasase so wɔ bere tiaa bi mu. Hena ne nea mayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ eyi? Hena na ɔte sɛ me, na hena na obetumi ne me adi asi? Na oguanhwɛfo bɛn na obetumi asɔre atia me?”
Lo! as a lioun he schal stie fro the pride of Jordan to the stronge fairnesse, for Y schal make hym to renne sudenli to it; and who schal be the chosun man, whom Y schal sette bifore him? For who is lijk me? and who schal suffre me? and who is this scheepherde, that schal ayenstonde my cheer?
45 Enti tie nea Awurade ahyehyɛ atia Babilonia, nea wabɔ ne tirim sɛ ɔbɛyɛ de atia Babiloniafo asase ni: Nguankuw no mu nkumaa no wɔbɛtwe wɔn akɔ; wɔn nti ɔbɛsɛe adidibea no koraa.
Therfore here ye the councel of the Lord, which he conseyuede in mynde ayens Babiloyne, and hise thouytis, whiche he thouyte on the lond of Caldeis, no but the litle of the flockis drawen hem doun, no but the dwellyng place of hem be destried with hem, ellis no man yyue credence to me.
46 Babilonia nnommumfa nnyigyei bɛma asase awosow; ne nteɛteɛmu gyegyeegye wɔ amanaman no mu.
The erthe is mouyd of the vois of caitiftee of Babiloyne, and cry is herd among hethene men.
