Yeremia 15
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Sɛ mpo, Mose ne Samuel bɛgyinaa mʼanim a, mʼakoma rentɔ nkɔ saa nnipa yi so. Ma wɔmfiri mʼani so! Ma wɔnkɔ!
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Loba bekumi phambi kwami oMozisi loSamuweli, inhliziyo yami ibingebe kulababantu; baxotshe phambi kwami, bayekele baphume.
2 Na sɛ wɔbisa wo sɛ, ‘Ɛhe na yɛnkorɔ’ a, ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Sei na Awurade seɛ: “‘Wɔn a wɔahyɛ owuo ama wɔn no bɛkɔ owuom; wɔn a wɔahyɛ akofena ama wɔn no bɛtotɔ akofena ano; wɔn a wɔahyɛ ɛkɔm ama wɔn no, ɛkɔm bɛde wɔn; wɔn a wɔahyɛ nnommumfa ama wɔn no bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu.’
Kuzakuthi-ke uba besithi kuwe: Sizaphuma siye ngaphi? Uzabatshela-ke uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Abokufa baya ekufeni, labenkemba baya enkembeni, labendlala baya endlaleni, labokuthunjwa baya ekuthunjweni.
3 “Mede adesɛefoɔ ahodoɔ ɛnan bɛba wɔn so,” Awurade na ɔseɛ: “akofena a ɛbɛkum wɔn, nkraman a ɛbɛtwe wɔn ase akɔ, ewiem nnomaa ne asase so mmoa a wɔbɛtete wɔn nam asɛe wɔn.
Ngoba ngizabamisela izinhlobo ezine, itsho iNkosi: Inkemba yokubulala, lezinja zokudonsa, lenyoni zamazulu lezinyamazana zomhlaba zokudla lezokubhubhisa.
4 Mɛma wɔn ayɛ akyiwadeɛ ama asase so ahennie nyinaa ɛsiane deɛ Yudahene Hesekia babarima Manase yɛɛ wɔ Yerusalem enti.
Ngizabanikela babe yinto eyesabekayo kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, ngenxa kaManase indodana kaHezekhiya, inkosi yakoJuda, ngalokho akwenza eJerusalema.
5 “Hwan na ɔbɛhunu wo mmɔbɔ, Ao Yerusalem? Hwan na ɔbɛgyam wo? Hwan na ɔbɛgyina abisa sɛdeɛ wo ho teɛ?
Ngoba ngubani ozakuhawukela, wena Jerusalema? Njalo ngubani ozakulilela? Njalo ngubani ozaphambukela eceleni ukubuza ngokuthula kwakho?
6 Woapo me,” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Wogu akyirisane so ara. Ɛno enti mɛtene me nsa wɔ wo so na masɛe wo. Me yam renhyehye me mma wo bio.
Wena ungidelile, itsho iNkosi, wabuyela emuva; ngakho ngizakwelula isandla sami ngimelene lawe, ngikuchithe; ngikhathele yikuhawukela.
7 Mede huhusoɔ apaawa bɛhuhu wɔn so wɔ asase no kuropɔn apono ano. Mede owuo ne adesɛeɛ bɛba me nkurɔfoɔ so, ɛfiri sɛ wɔnsesaa wɔn akwan.
Njalo ngizabela ngoluthi lokwela emasangweni elizwe; ngizabemuka abantwana, ngibhubhise abantu bami; kabaphendukanga endleleni zabo.
8 Mɛma wɔn akunafoɔ adɔɔso asene mpoano anwea. Mede ɔsɛefoɔ bɛba owigyinaeɛ abɛtia wɔn mmeranteɛ maamenom; mpofirim mede ɔyea ne ehu bɛba wɔn so.
Abafelokazi babo bandile kimi kuletshebetshebe lolwandle. Ngilethe phezu kwabo, phezu kukanina, ijaha, umchithi emini enkulu; ngiwisele phezu kwabo uvalo lezesabiso bengananzelele.
9 Ɔbaatan a wawo nson bɛtɔ baha, na wagyae mu. Nʼawia bɛtɔ ɛberɛ a adeɛ nsaeɛ; wɔbɛgu nʼanim ase abrɛ no ase. Mede nkaeɛfoɔ no bɛma akofena wɔ wɔn atamfoɔ anim,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
Owazala abayisikhombisa usekhathele; usephefumule okokucina; ilanga lakhe litshone kusesemini; waba lenhloni, wayangeka; lensali yabo ngizayinikela enkembeni phambi kwezitha zabo, itsho iNkosi.
10 Ao, me maame a wowoo me, anka mewuiɛ a, anka ɛyɛ. Asase sofoɔ nyinaa ne me ham, di apereapereɛ! Memfɛm obi adeɛ, na memmɔɔ obi hɔ bosea, nanso obiara dome me.
Maye mina, mama, ukuthi ungizele, umuntu wokuphikisana lomuntu wokuxabana emhlabeni wonke! Kangebolekisanga ngenzuzo, futhi kabangebolekisanga ngenzuzo, kanti bayangithuka, ngulowo lalowo wabo.
11 Awurade kaa sɛ, “Nokorɛm mɛgye wo ama botaeɛ pa bi; ampa ara mɛma wʼatamfoɔ apa wo kyɛw wɔ amanehunu ne ahohia mmerɛ mu.
INkosi yathi: Isibili kuzakuba kuhle ngensali yakho; isibili ngizakuncengela esitheni ngesikhathi sokubi langesikhathi sosizi.
12 “Onipa bɛtumi abu dadeɛ mu dadeɛ a ɛfiri atifi fam, anaa kɔbere?
Insimbi ingayephula yini insimbi evela enyakatho lethusi?
13 “Mede mo ahodeɛ ne mo akoradeɛ bɛma sɛ wɔmfom a wɔrentua ka, ɛsiane mo nnebɔne nyinaa wɔ mo ɔman no mu enti.
Inotho yakho lokuligugu kwakho ngizakunikela kube yimpango, kungelantengo, langenxa yezono zakho zonke, ngitsho emingceleni yakho yonke.
14 Mede mo bɛyɛ nkoa ama mo atamfoɔ wɔ ɔman a monnim soɔ so, mʼabufuo bɛma ogya adɛre na ɛbɛhye mo.”
Ngizakwenza ukuthi udlule kanye lezitha zakho uye elizweni ongalaziyo; ngoba umlilo ubasiwe olakeni lwami; uzabhebha phezu kwenu.
15 Wote aseɛ, Ao Awurade; kae me na hwɛ me so. Tɔ wɔn a wɔtaa me so awere. Wowɔ abodwokyerɛ, mma me nwu; hwɛ sɛdeɛ wo enti wɔbɔ me ahohora.
Wena uyazi, Nkosi; ngikhumbula, ungihambele, ungiphindiselele kwabangizingelayo; ungangisusi ekubekezeleni kwakho; yazi ukuthi ngenxa yakho ngithwele ihlazo.
16 Wo nsɛm baeɛ no, mediiɛ; ɛyɛɛ mʼahosɛpɛ ne mʼakoma apɛdeɛ, na wo din da me so, Ao, Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn.
Amazwi akho atholakala njalo ngawadla; lelizwi lakho kimi laba yinjabulo njalo laba yintokozo yenhliziyo yami; ngoba ibizo lakho labizwa phezu kwami, wena Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wamabandla.
17 Mantena wɔn a wɔgye wɔn ani fekuo mu. Me ne wɔn annye wɔn ani; metee me ho tenaeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ wo nsa daa me so na wʼabofuo hyɛɛ me ma.
Kangihlalanga emhlanganweni wabahleka usulu, kumbe ngijabule; ngenxa yesandla sakho ngahlala ngedwa; ngoba ungigcwalise ngentukuthelo.
18 Adɛn enti na me yea to ntwa da na mʼapirakuro ayɛ nkudaa a ano yɛ den? Wopɛ sɛ woyɛ sɛ nnaadaa asuwa ma me, sɛ asutire a ɛweɛ anaa?
Kungani ubuhlungu bami bube khona njalonjalo, lenxeba lami lingelapheki, lisala ukuphola? Isibili uzakuba njengomqambimanga kimi yini, njengamanzi angathembekanga?
19 Enti sei na Awurade seɛ, “Sɛ wosakyera wʼadwene a, mɛgye wo ato mu bio na wasom me; sɛ nsɛm a ɛdi mu firi wʼanomu, na ɛnyɛ nsɛm huhuo a, wobɛyɛ me kasamafoɔ. Ma saa nnipa yi nnane mmra wo nkyɛn, na wo deɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ wodane kɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi: Uba ubuya, ngizakubuyisa, ume phambi kwami; njalo uba ukhupha okuligugu kokungasizi lutho, uzakuba njengomlomo wami. Bona kababuyele kuwe, kodwa wena ungabuyeli kubo.
20 Mede wo bɛyɛ ɔfasuo ama saa nnipa yi, banbɔ ɔfasuo a wɔde kɔbere ato; wɔ ne wo bɛdi asie nanso wɔrenni wɔ so nkonim, ɛfiri sɛ me ne wo wɔ hɔ sɛ mɛyi wo na magye wo nkwa,” Awurade, na ɔseɛ.
Ngoba ngizakwenza ube ngumduli wethusi ovikelweyo kulababantu; njalo bazakulwa bemelene lawe, kodwa kabayikukwehlula, ngoba mina ngilawe ukukusindisa lokukophula, itsho iNkosi.
21 “Mɛgye wo nkwa afiri amumuyɛfoɔ nsam na mayi wo afiri atirimuɔdenfoɔ nsam.”
Ngizakophula esandleni sababi, ngikuhlenge esandleni sabalesihluku.
