< Yeremia 6 >
1 “Benyaminfo, munguan nkɔbɔ mo ho aguaa! Munguan mfi Yerusalem! Monhyɛn torobɛnto no wɔ Tekoa! Munsi frankaa no wɔ Bet-Hakerem! Efisɛ amanehunu bobɔw fi atifi fam, ɔsɛe bi a ɛyɛ hu.
“ʻAe fānau ʻa Penisimani mou fakataha ʻakimoutolu pea hola atu mei Selūsalema, pea ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi Tikoa, pea fokotuʻu ʻae fakaʻilonga afi ʻi Pete-Hakilime; he ʻoku hā mai ʻae kovi mei he tokelau, pea mo e fakaʻauha lahi.
2 Mɛsɛe Ɔbabea Sion, ɔhoɔfɛfo sɔɔnɔ no.
Kuo u fakatatau ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Saione ki he fefine hoihoifua mo angalelei.
3 Nguanhwɛfo ne wɔn nguankuw bɛba abetia no; wobesisi wɔn ntamadan atwa ne ho ahyia, wɔn mu biara bɛhwɛ ne kyɛfa so.”
ʻE haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau tauhi mo ʻenau fanga sipi; pea te nau fokotuʻu honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo takatakai kiate ia; pea te nau taki taha kai ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona.
4 “Munsiesie mo ho ne no nkɔko! Monsɔre, momma yɛnkɔtow nhyɛ ne so owigyinae! Nanso hwɛ, onwini redwo, na anwummere sunsuma reware.
“Mou teuteu kiate ia; tuʻu hake pea ke tau ʻalu hake ʻi he hoʻatāmālie. ʻOiauē ʻakitautolu! He kuo ʻalu ʻae ʻaho, pea kuo mafola atu ʻae malumalu ʻoe efiafi.
5 Enti monsɔre, momma yɛnkɔtow nhyɛ ne so anadwo na yɛnsɛe nʼaban ahorow!”
Tuʻu hake, pea tau ʻalu atu ʻi he poʻuli, pea fakaʻauha hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki.”
6 Nea Asafo Awurade se ni: “Muntwitwa nnua no ngu fam na muntwa Yerusalem ho dantaban. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwe kuropɔn yi aso; nhyɛso ahyɛ no ma.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Tā hifo hono ngaahi ʻakau, pea fai ha tanu puke ki Selūsalema; ko e kolo eni ke kapa; kuo pito ia ʻi loto ʻi he fakamālohi.
7 Sɛnea abura puw ne nsu no, saa ara na opuw nʼamumɔyɛ. Wɔte awurukasɛm ne ɔsɛe nka wɔ ne mu; ne yare ne nʼapirakuru wɔ mʼanim daa.
ʻO hangē ʻoku puna ʻae vai mei he matavai, ʻoku pehē ʻae hā mai ʻae angahala meiate ia; ʻoku ongoʻi ʻiate ia ʻae fakamālohi pea mo e maumauʻi; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao maʻuaipē ʻae mamahi mo e ngaahi lavea.
8 Fa kɔkɔbɔ, Yerusalem, anyɛ saa metwe me ho afi wo ho na mama wʼasase ada mpan a obiara ntumi ntena so.”
ʻE Selūsalema, ke akonekina koe, telia naʻa ʻalu ʻiate koe ʻa hoku laumālie; telia naʻa ngaohi koe ke tala, ko e fonua taʻehanokakai.”
9 Nea Asafo Awurade se ni: “Ma wonyiyi Israel nkae no mu yiye sɛnea woyiyi bobe mu yiye no; fa wo nsa fa mman no so bio, sɛ obi a ɔretetew bobe aba.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te nau tānaki hono toe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo hangē ko e vaine: pea ʻe toe ai ho nima ki he ngaahi vaʻa ʻo hangē ko e tangata ʻoku toli ʻae fua ʻoe vaine.”
10 Hena na metumi akasa akyerɛ no na mabɔ no kɔkɔ? Hena na obetie me? Wɔn aso asisiw enti wɔnte asɛm. Awurade asɛm yɛ akyiwade ma wɔn, na wɔn ani nnye ho.
Te u lea mo valoki kia hai, koeʻuhi ke nau fanongo? Vakai, kuo tāpuni honau telinga, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa ongoʻi; vakai, ko e meʻa manuki kiate kinautolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻoku ʻikai te nau fiefia ki ai.
11 Nanso Awurade abufuwhyew ahyɛ me ma, na mintumi nkora so. “Hwie gu mmofra a wɔwɔ mmɔnten so ne mmerante a wɔahyia; ɛbɛka okunu ne ɔyere, mmasiriwa, wɔn a onyin ahunhuan wɔn no so.
Ko ia kuo u fonu ʻi he houhau ʻo Sihova; ʻoku ou fiu ʻi he taʻofi: “Te u lilingi atu ia, ki he fānau ʻoku ʻi he hala; pea ki he fakataha ʻae kau talavou, ʻio, ʻe ʻave ʻae tangata mo hono uaifi, ʻae motuʻa pea mo ia ʻoku lahi hono ngaahi ʻaho.
12 Wɔbɛdan wɔn afi ama afoforo, wɔn mfuw ne wɔn yerenom bɛka ho; sɛ meteɛ me nsa wɔ wɔn a wɔte asase no so a,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
“Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai kehe honau ngaahi fale, mo e ngaahi ngoue, fakataha mo honau ngaahi uaifi: he te u mafao atu hoku nima ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.’
13 “Efi akumaa so kosi ɔkɛse so, wɔn nyinaa yɛ adifudepɛfo de pɛ ahonya; adiyifo ne asɔfo te saa, wɔn nyinaa yɛ asisifo.
“He ʻoku nau taki taha manumanu mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi; pea taki taha fai kākā mei he palōfita, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he taulaʻeiki.
14 Wɔtoto me nkurɔfo apirakuru te sɛnea ɛnyɛ hu. Wɔka se, ‘Asomdwoe, asomdwoe’ wɔ mmere a asomdwoe nni hɔ.
Kuo nau fakamoʻui kākā foki ʻae lavea ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai, ʻonau pehē, ‘Fiemālie, fiemālie;’ ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie.
15 Wɔn ani wu wɔ wɔn animguase nneyɛe no ho ana? Dabi da, wɔn ani nnwu koraa; wonnim fɛre mpo. Enti wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ atɔfo mu; wɔbɛhwehwe ase, sɛ metwe wɔn aso a,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
He naʻa nau mā ʻi heʻenau fai meʻa fakalielia? Naʻe ʻikai, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau mā, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fekulaʻi ʻi he mā; ko ia te nau hinga mo kinautolu ʻoku hinga: ʻo kau ka ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻe lī ki lalo ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
16 Eyi ne nea Awurade se, “Munnyina nkwantanan no so na monhwɛ; mummisa tete akwan no, mummisa faako a ɔkwan pa no da na monnantew so, na mubenya home ama mo akra. Nanso mokae se, ‘yɛnnantew so.’
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Mou tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi hala, ʻo mamata, pea fehuʻi ki he ngaahi motuʻa hala, ‘Ko e fē ʻae hala lelei?’ Pea mou ʻaʻeva ʻi ai, pea te mou ʻilo ʻae fiemālie ki homou laumālie. Ka naʻa nau pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau ʻeveʻeva ai.’
17 Mede awɛmfo sisii mo so na mekae se, ‘Muntie torobɛnto nnyigyei no!’ Nanso mokae se, ‘Yɛrentie.’
Pea naʻaku fakanofo kiate kimoutolu foki ʻae kau tangata leʻo, ʻo pehē, ‘Fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe meʻalea.’ Ka naʻa nau pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau fanongo.’
18 Ɛno nti monyɛ aso, mo amanaman; mo a moyɛ nnansefo, monhwɛ, monhwɛ nea ɛbɛto wɔn.
“Ko ia mou fanongo, ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ʻilo ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kakai, ʻae meʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu.
19 Tie, wo asase: Mede amanehunu reba saa nnipa yi so, wɔn nneyɛe so aba, efisɛ wɔantie me nsɛm na wɔapo me mmara.
Fanongo, ʻe māmani: vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he kakai ni, ko e fua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi mahalo, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, pe ki heʻeku fono, ka kuo nau liʻaki ia.
20 Nnuhuam a efi Seba anaa ahwerew pa a efi akyirikyiri asase so fa me ho bɛn? Minnye wo hyew afɔre no nto mu, wʼafɔrebɔ ahorow no nsɔ mʼani.”
He ko e hā hono ʻaonga ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa namu kakala kiate au mei Sipa, pea mo e tō huʻamelie mei he potu mamaʻo? ʻoku ʻikai lelei kiate au homou ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pea ʻoku ʻikai huʻamelie kiate au homou ngaahi feilaulau.”
21 Ɛno nti, nea Awurade se ni: “Mede akwanside begu saa nkurɔfo yi anim. Agyanom ne mmabarima nyinaa behintiw wɔ so; yɔnkonom ne nnamfonom bɛyera.”
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, te u ʻai ʻae ngaahi tūkiaʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ni, pea ʻe tūkia fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi tamai pea mo e ngaahi foha; pea ʻe malaʻia ʻae kaungāʻapi mo honau kāinga.”
22 Sɛnea Awurade se ni: “Monhwɛ, nsraadɔm bi reba, wofi atifi fam asase so; wɔrehwanyan wɔn afi nsase ano.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ha kakai mei he fonua ʻi he tokelau, pea ʻe fakatupu ʻae kakai lahi mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
23 Wokurakura bɛmma ne mpeaw; wɔn tirim yɛ den, na wonni ahummɔbɔ. Wɔn nnyigyei te sɛ po asorɔkye. Sɛ wɔtete wɔn apɔnkɔ so a, wɔba te sɛ mmarima a wɔrekɔ ɔko. Wɔrebɛtow ahyɛ wo so, Ɔbabea Sion.”
Pea te nau ala ki he kaufana mo e hōfangahau; ʻoku nau loto fefeka, pea taʻeʻaloʻofa; ʻoku ʻuʻulu honau leʻo ʻo hangē ko e tahi; pea ʻoku nau heka ki he fanga hoosi, ʻo fakaʻotu ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata te u tau kiate koe, ʻE ʻofefine ʻo Saione.”
24 Yɛate wɔn ho nsɛm, na yɛn nsa sesa yɛn ho sɛ nea awuwu. Awerɛhow akyekyere yɛn yɛte yaw sɛ ɔbea a ɔreko awo.
Kuo tau fanongo ki hono ongoongo: ʻoku vaivai hotau nima; kuo maʻu ʻakitautolu ʻe he mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e langā ha fefine ke fāʻele.
25 Mfi adi nkɔ wuram na nnantew akwan no so, efisɛ ɔtamfo no wɔ afoa, na baabiara ayɛ hu.
ʻOua naʻa ʻalu ki he ngoue, pe ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala; he ʻoku ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae heletā ʻoe fili mo e fakailifia.
26 Me nkurɔfo, mumfura atweaatam na mommunummunum wɔ nsõ mu, momfa adwadwotwa yaayaw nni awerɛhow sɛnea wosu ma ɔbabarima koro, efisɛ ɔsɛefo no bɛba yɛn so mpofirim.
ʻE ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai ke ke nonoʻo ʻaki koe ʻae tauangaʻa, pea fetafokifokiaki koe ʻi he efuefu; ke ke mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fai ki he foha pe taha, ko e tangilāulau mamahi: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu fakafokifā pe kiate koe ʻae fakaʻauha.
27 “Mayɛ wo obi a ɔsɔ agude hwɛ na me nkurɔfo dadeben, a wobɛhwɛ na woasɔ wɔn akwan ahwɛ.
“Kuo u fakanofo koe ko e ʻahiʻahi, mo e fakamaʻa ki hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻiloʻi mo ʻahiʻahi ki heʻenau anga.
28 Wɔn nyinaa yɛ atuatewfo a wɔyɛ den, wɔnenam di nseku. Wɔyɛ kɔbere ne dade; wɔn nyinaa yɛ wɔn ade wɔ porɔwee kwan so.
Ko e kau angatuʻu fakamamahi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko e kau lauʻi kovi: ko e palasa mo e ukamea ʻakinautolu: ko e kau fakakovi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
29 Afa no bɔ mframa dennen de ogya nan sumpii no, nanso ɔnan no yɛ ɔkwa. Entumi nyiyii bɔne no mfii wɔn mu ɛ.
Kuo vela ʻae tapili, kuo vela ʻo vai ʻae pulu ʻi he afi; ʻoku fai ʻae haka taʻeʻaonga ʻe he fakamaʻa: he ʻoku ʻikai mavahevahe ʻae kovi.
30 Wɔfrɛ wɔn dwetɛ a wɔapo, efisɛ Awurade apo wɔn.”
ʻE ui ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ko e siliva kākā, koeʻuhi kuo liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova.”
