Yeremia 12
1 Ao Awurade, sɛ mede asɛm to wʼanim ɛberɛ biara a mehunu sɛ wobu atɛntenenee. Ɛno enti, mepɛ sɛ mene wo bɛkasa afa wʼatɛntenenee ho: Adɛn enti na amumuyɛfoɔ ɛkwan si wɔn yie? Adɛn enti na wɔn a wɔnni gyidie ho dwo wɔn?
Forsothe, Lord, thou art iust; if Y dispute with thee, netheles Y schal speke iust thingis to thee. Whi hath the weie of wickid men prosperite? It is wel to alle men that breken the lawe, and doen wickidli?
2 Woadua wɔn, na wɔagye nhini; wɔnyinyini na wɔso aba. Wɔbɔ wo din ɛberɛ biara nanso wɔn akoma mmɛn wo.
Thou hast plauntid hem, and thei senten roote; thei encreessen, and maken fruyt; thou art niy to the mouth of hem, and fer fro the reynes of hem.
3 Nanso, wonim me, Ao Awurade; wohunu me, na wosɔ mʼadwene a mewɔ wɔ wo ho hwɛ. Twe wɔn kɔ sɛ nnwan a wɔrekɔkum wɔn! Yi wɔn si nkyɛn ma okum da!
And thou, Lord, hast knowe me, thou hast seyn me, and hast preued myn herte with thee. Gadere thou hem togidere as a flok to slayn sacrifice, and halewe thou hem in the dai of sleyng.
4 Asase no ntwɛn nkɔsi da bɛn? Prama so ɛserɛ no mpo adwan. Esiane sɛ wɔn a wɔte so no yɛ amumuyɛfoɔ enti mmoa ne nnomaa a wɔwɔ so awuwu. Na nnipa no da so ka sɛ, “Ɔrenhunu deɛ ɛba yɛn so.”
Hou long schal the erthe mourne, and ech eerbe of the feeld schal be dried, for the malice of hem that dwellen ther ynne? A beeste is wastid, and a brid, for thei seiden, The Lord schal not se oure laste thingis.
5 “Sɛ wo ne mmarima tu mmirika na sɛ wɔma wo abrɛ a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wo ne apɔnkɔ asi mmirikakan? Sɛ wosunti wɔ asase petee so a, ɛnneɛ wobɛyɛ dɛn wɔ Yordan ho nkyɛkyerɛ mu?
If thou trauelist rennynge with foot men, hou schalt thou mow stryue with horsis? but whanne thou art sikur in the lond of pees, what schalt thou do in the pride of Jordan?
6 Wo nuammarima, wʼankasa abusuafoɔ, wɔn mpo ayi wo ama; wɔteam denden tia wo. Sɛ mpo wɔka wo ho asɛm pa a, mfa wo ho nto wɔn so.
For whi bothe thi britheren and the hous of thi fadir, yhe, thei fouyten ayens thee, and crieden with ful vois aftir thee; bileue thou not to hem, whanne thei speken goodis to thee.
7 “Magya me nkurɔfoɔ, mato mʼagyapadeɛ agu; mede deɛ medɔ noɔ no bɛhyɛ nʼatamfoɔ nsa.
I haue left myn hous, Y haue forsake myn eritage; Y yaf my loued soule in to the hondis of enemyes therof.
8 Mʼagyapadeɛ ayɛ me sɛ gyata a ɔwɔ kwaeɛm. Ɔbobɔ mu gu me so; ɛno enti metane no.
Myn eritage is maad as a lioun in the wode to me; it yaf vois ayens me, therfor Y hate it.
9 Mʼagyapadeɛ ayɛ sɛ anomaa a nkekaeɛ sisi ne ho a ɔkyere mmoa, nanso, nnomaa a wɔkyere mmoa atwa ne ho ahyia resosɔ no. Monkɔboaboa nkekaboa nyinaa ano. Momfa wɔn mmra na wɔnkum wɔn.
Whether myn eritage is a brid of dyuerse colours to me? whether it is a brid died thorou out? Alle beestis of the feeld, come ye, be ye gaderid togidere; haste ye for to deuoure.
10 Nnwanhwɛfoɔ bebree bɛsɛe me bobeturo, na wɔatiatia me mfuo so; wɔbɛdane me mfuo fɛfɛ no ayɛ no asase wesee a ada mpan.
Many scheepherdis distrieden my vyner, defouliden my part, yauen my desirable porcioun in to desert of wildirnesse;
11 Ɛbɛyɛ asase a ada mpan a awo wesee na ɛda hɔ kwa wɔ mʼanim; asase no nyinaa bɛda mpan ɛfiri sɛ obiara nni hɔ a ɔhwɛ soɔ.
thei settiden it in to scateryng, and it mourenyde on me; al the lond is desolat bi desolacioun, for noon is that ayenthenkith in herte.
12 Wɔ nkokoɔ wesee a ɛwɔ anweatam no nyinaa so no, asɛefoɔ bɛba abɛgu so bebree, Awurade akofena bɛkunkum wɔn afiri asase ano de akɔsi ano nohoa; obiara remfa ne ho nni.
Alle distrieris of the lond camen on alle the weies of desert, for the swerd of the Lord schal deuoure fro the laste part of the lond `til to the laste part therof; no pees is to al fleisch.
13 Wɔbɛdua atokoɔ, nso wɔbɛtwa nkasɛɛ; wɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ho, nanso wɔrennya hwee. Enti ma wʼani nwu wɔ wo otwa berɛ ho. Awurade abufuhyeɛ nti.”
Thei sowiden wheete, and repiden thornes; thei token erytage, and it schal not profite to hem. Ye schulen be schent of youre fruytis, for the wraththe of the stronge veniaunce of the Lord.
14 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Na amumuyɛfoɔ a wɔfa agyapadeɛ a mede maa me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ no deɛ, mɛtu wɔn afiri wɔn nsase so na mɛtu Yudafie afiri wɔn mu.
The Lord seith these thingis ayens alle my worst neiyboris, that touchen the eritage which Y departide to my puple Israel, Lo! Y schal drawe hem out of her lond, and Y schal drawe the hous of Juda out of the myddis of hem.
15 Na sɛ metu wɔn wie a, mɛhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ bio, na mede wɔn mu biara bɛba nʼagyapadeɛ ne nʼasase so.
And whanne Y schal drawe out thilke Jewis, Y schal conuerte, and haue merci on hem; and Y schal lede hem ayen, a man to his eritage, and a man in to his lond.
16 Na sɛ wɔsua me nkurɔfoɔ akwan yie na wɔbɔ me din ka ntam sɛ, ‘Nokorɛm sɛ Awurade te ase yi’ a, ɛwom sɛ mmerɛ bi wɔkyerɛɛ me nkurɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔde Baal kaa ntam deɛ, nanso wɔn ase bɛtim wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ mu.
And it schal be, if thei `that ben tauyt lernen the weies of my puple, that thei swere in my name, The Lord lyueth, as thei tauyten my puple to swere in Baal, thei schulen be bildid in the myddis of my puple.
17 Nanso, sɛ ɔman bi antie a, mɛtu nʼase, na masɛe no korakora,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
That if thei heren not, Y schal drawe out that folk by drawyng out and perdicioun, seith the Lord.
