Yeremia 20
1 Ɛberɛ a Imer a ɔyɛ Awurade asɔredan mu adwumayɛfoɔ so panin babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Pashur tee sɛ Yeremia rehyɛ nkɔm fa saa nneɛma yi ho no,
Kwathi uPashuri umpristi, indodana kaImeri, umpristi, owayengumbonisi oyinduna endlini yeNkosi, wamuzwa uJeremiya eprofetha lezizinto,
2 ɔmaa wɔboroo Yeremia, na wɔbɔɔ no dua mu wɔ Benyamin Atifi Ɛpono a ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu hɔ.
uPashuri wasemtshaya uJeremiya umprofethi, wamfaka esitokisini esisesangweni lakoBhenjamini elingaphezulu, elalingasendlini yeNkosi.
3 Adeɛ kyeeɛ a, Pashur sanee no no, Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade din a ɔde ama wo no nyɛ Pashur na mmom Magormisabib.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku olulandelayo, uPashuri wamkhupha uJeremiya esitokisini. UJeremiya wasesithi kuye: INkosi kayibizanga ibizo lakho ngokuthi uPashuri, kodwa uMagori-Misabibi.
4 Na sei na Awurade seɛ: ‘Mɛma wo ho ayɛ hu ama wʼankasa ne wo nnamfonom nyinaa, wʼankasa de wʼani bɛhunu sɛ wɔtotɔ wɔ wɔn atamfoɔ akofena ano. Mede Yuda nyinaa bɛma Babiloniahene na wasoa wɔn akɔ Babilonia anaasɛ ɔde akofena bɛkunkum wɔn.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizakwenza ube yinto eyesabekayo kuwe uqobo, lakubo bonke abangane bakho; njalo bazakuwa ngenkemba yezitha zabo, lamehlo enu azakubona. Njalo ngizanikela wonke uJuda esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni, ezabathumba ibase eBhabhiloni, ibatshaye ngenkemba.
5 Mede kuropɔn yi ahodeɛ nyinaa bɛma wɔn atamfoɔ; nʼadwumayɛ so aba, ne nneɛma a ɛsom bo ne Yuda ahemfo akoradeɛ nyinaa. Wɔbɛfa no sɛ afodeɛ akɔ Babilonia.
Futhi ngizanikela yonke inotho yalumuzi, lawo wonke umsebenzi wawo, lakho konke okuligugu kwawo, lazo zonke iziphala zamakhosi akoJuda, ngikunikele esandleni sezitha zabo, ezizakuphanga, zikuthathe, zikulethe eBhabhiloni.
6 Na wo Pashur, ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu wɔ Babilonia. Ɛhɔ na wo ne wo nnamfonom a wohyɛɛ wɔn nkɔmtorɔ no nyinaa bɛwuwu na wɔasie mo.’”
Lawe Pashuri, lani lonke bahlali bendlu yakho, lizakuya ekuthunjweni; njalo uzakuya eBhabhiloni, ufele khona, ungcwatshelwe khona, wena labangane bakho bonke, oprofethe kibo amanga.
7 Ao, Awurade, woadaadaa me; na mapene so ama woadaadaa. Wɔtwee me da mu nyinaa; na obiara sere me.
Nkosi, wangiyenga, ngayengeka; ulamandla kulami, unqobile; ngaba yinhlekisa lonke usuku, bonke bayangiklolodela.
8 Ɛberɛ biara a mɛkasa no, meteam pae mu ka akakabensɛm ne ɔsɛeɛ. Enti Awurade asɛm de ahohora ne nsopa abrɛ me da mu nyinaa.
Ngoba loba nini ngikhuluma, ngiyakhala, ngimemeze udlakela lencithakalo; ngoba ilizwi leNkosi selibe lihlazo lenhlekisa kimi usuku lonke.
9 Sɛ meka sɛ, “Meremmɔ ne din anaa merenkasa wɔ ne din mu” a, nʼasɛm te sɛ ogya wɔ mʼakoma mu, ogya a wɔde ahyɛ me nnompe mu. Mede ahyɛ me mu abrɛ nokorɛm, merentumi.
Ngasengisithi: Kangiyikuyikhumbula, kangisayikukhuluma ngebizo layo; kodwa enhliziyweni yami kunjengomlilo ovuthayo ovalelwe emathanjeni ami; sengikhathele yikugodla, ngingeke ngenelise.
10 Mete asomusɛm bebree sɛ, “Ehu wɔ baabiara! Montoa no! Momma yɛnkɔtoa no!” Me nnamfonom nyinaa retwɛn sɛ mɛwatiri, na wɔka sɛ, “Ebia wɔbɛdaadaa no; na yɛatumi atɔ ne so were.”
Ngoba ngizwile ukuhleba kwabanengi, ukwesaba inhlangothi zonke, besithi: Bikani, lathi sizakubika! Bonke abalokuthula lami balindele ukukhubeka kwami, besithi: Mhlawumbe angakhohliseka, khona sizamehlula, siphindisele impindiselo yethu kuye.
11 Nanso, Awurade ka me ho sɛ dɔmmarima; enti mʼataafoɔ bɛsuntisunti na wɔrentumi nnyina. Wɔbɛdi nkoguo na wɔn anim bɛgu ase pasaa; wɔn werɛ remfiri wɔn nsopa no da.
Kodwa iNkosi ilami njengeqhawe elesabekayo; ngakho-ke abangizingelayo bazakhubeka, kabayikunqoba; bazayangeka kakhulu, ngoba bengayikuphumelela; ihlazo labo elilaphakade kaliyikukhohlakala.
12 Ao, Asafo Awurade! Wo a wɔsɔ ɔteneneeni hwɛ na wopɛɛpɛɛ akoma ne adwene mu, ma menhunu wʼaweretɔ wɔ wɔn so, ɛfiri sɛ mede mʼasɛm dane wo.
Kodwa, Nkosi yamabandla, ohlolayo olungileyo, obona izinso lenhliziyo, ngibone impindiselo yakho kibo, ngoba kuwe ngambulile udaba lwami.
13 Monto dwom mma Awurade! Monyi Awurade ayɛ! Ɔgye ohiani nkwa firi amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.
Hlabelelani eNkosini, dumisani iNkosi; ngoba yophule umphefumulo woswelayo esandleni sabenzi bobubi.
14 Nnome nka da a wɔwoo me! Nhyira mpare ɛda a me maame woo me.
Kaluqalekiswe usuku engazalwa ngalo; usuku umama angizala ngalo kalungabusiswa.
15 Nnome nka onipa a ɔbɛbɔɔ mʼagya kaseɛ, deɛ ɔmaa nʼani gyeeɛ, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Wɔawo ɔbabarima ama wo!”
Kaqalekiswe umuntu owaletha izindaba kubaba, esithi: Uzalelwe umntwana wesilisa; emenza athokoze kakhulu.
16 Ma saa onipa no nyɛ sɛ nkuro a Awurade tuguiɛ a wannya ahummɔborɔ no. Ma ɔnte osu anɔpa, ne ɔko owigyinaeɛ.
Njalo lowomuntu kabe njengemizi iNkosi eyayigenqulayo, ingazisoli; njalo kezwe ukukhala ekuseni, lokuhlaba umkhosi ngesikhathi semini enkulu.
17 Ɛfiri sɛ, wankum me wɔ awotwaa mu amma me maame anyɛ damena amma me.
Ngoba ingangibulalanga kwasesiswini; kumbe umama waba lingcwaba lami, lesisu sakhe sakhulelwa kokuphela.
18 Adɛn koraa na mefirii awotwaa mu pueɛ bɛhunuu ɔhaw ne awerɛhoɔ na mede aniwuo rebɛwie me nkwa nna yi?
Ngaphumelani esiswini ukuthi ngibone uhlupho losizi, ukuthi insuku zami ziphele ehlazweni?
