Yeremia 30

1 Asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ nie:

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: ‘Twerɛ nsɛm a maka akyerɛ wo nyinaa gu nwoma mu.

“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

3 Nna bi reba,’ sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ, ‘a mede me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ bɛfiri nnommum mu asane aba na mede wɔn aba asase a mede me maa wɔn agyanom sɛ wɔmfa ntena so,’ Awurade na ɔseɛ.”

For behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will convert the turning away of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord. And I will return them to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”

4 Yei ne nsɛm a Awurade ka faa Israel ne Yuda ho:

And these are the words which the Lord has spoken to Israel and to Judah:

5 “Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “‘Akomatuo nteateam na mete, mete ehu, na ɛnyɛ asomdwoeɛ.

For thus says the Lord: ‘We have heard a voice of terror. There is dread, and there is no peace.’

6 Mommisa na monhunu: Ɔbarima bɛtumi awo mma anaa? Afei, adɛn enti na mehunu ɔbarima ɔhoɔdenfoɔ biara sɛ ne nsa gu ne yafunu so te sɛ ɔbaa a ɔwɔ awokoɔ mu, na anim biara ayɛ bosaa saa?

Inquire and see, does a male give birth? Then why have I seen every man with his hand on his lower back, like a woman bearing a child? And why have all of their faces turned pale?

7 Sɛdeɛ da no bɛyɛ hu afa! Ɛda biara renyɛ sɛ ɛno. Ɛbɛyɛ amanehunu berɛ ama Yakob, nanso, wɔbɛyi no afiri mu.

Woe! For that day is great, and there is nothing like it. For it is the time of tribulation for Jacob, but he will be saved from it.

8 “‘Saa ɛda no,’ Asafo Awurade na ɔseɛ, ‘Mɛbubu kɔnnua no afiri wɔn kɔn mu, na matete wɔn nkyehoma no mu; ananafoɔ remfa wɔn nyɛ nkoa bio.

And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will crush his yoke from your neck, and I will break open his bands. And strangers will no longer rule over him.

9 Na mmom wɔbɛsom Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn ne Dawid wɔn ɔhene, a mɛpagya no ama wɔn.

Instead, they will serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

10 “‘Enti nsuro, Ao Yakob, me ɔsomfoɔ; mma wʼaba mu mmu, Ao Israel,’ deɛ Awurade seɛ nie. ‘Nokorɛm mɛgye wo afiri akyirikyiri, ne wʼasefoɔ afiri wɔn nnommumfa asase so. Yakob bɛsane anya asomdwoeɛ ne banbɔ na obiara renhunahuna no bio.

Therefore, O my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, says the Lord, and you should not be frightened, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from a far away land, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he shall flow with every good thing. And there will be no one for him to dread.

11 Me ne wo wɔ hɔ na mɛgye wo nkwa,’ Awurade na ɔseɛ. ‘Ɛwom sɛ mesɛe amanaman no nyinaa pasaa, wɔn a mebɔ mo hwete wɔ wɔn mu no, nanso merensɛe mo korakora. Mɛtenetene mo nanso mɛyɛ no tenenee ɛkwan so; meremma mo mfa mo ho nni koraa a merentwe mo aso.’

For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may save you. For I will bring about the consummation of all the nations, among which I have scattered you. But I will not bring about your consummation. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, so that you will not seem innocent to yourself.”

12 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “‘Wo apirakuro ayɛ koankorɔ, na ɛnni asaeɛ.

For thus says the Lord: “Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious.

13 Obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛka bi ama wo, wo kuro no rennya aduro, na worennya ayaresa.

There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you.

14 Wʼapamfoɔ nyinaa werɛ afiri wo; wo ho biribiara mfa wɔn ho. Mabɔ wo sɛdeɛ wo ɔtamfoɔ bɛyɛ na matwe wʼaso sɛdeɛ otirimuɔdenfoɔ bɛtwe, ɛfiri sɛ wʼafɔdie so dodo na wʼamumuyɛ nso dɔɔso.

All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities.

15 Adɛn enti na wosu denden wɔ wʼapirakuro ho, wo yeadie a ano nni aduro ho? Wʼafɔdie kɛseɛ ne wʼamumuyɛ bebrebe enti na mede saa nneɛma yi ayɛ woɔ.

Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.

16 “‘Nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsɛe mo; mo atamfoɔ nyinaa bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu. Wɔn a wɔfom mo no, wɔbɛfom wɔn. Wɔn a wɔto hyɛɛ mo so no, mɛto ahyɛ wɔn so.

Because of this, all those who devour you, will be devoured. And all your enemies will be led into captivity. And those who devastate you, will be devastated. And all those who prey upon you, I will offer as a prey.

17 Nanso mɛma wo ahoɔden bio na masa wo apirakuro,’ Awurade na ɔseɛ, ‘ɛfiri sɛ wɔfrɛ wo deɛ wɔapam noɔ, Sion a wo ho nhia obiara.’

For I will close up your scar, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. For they have called you an outcast, O Zion: ‘This is she who has no one asking for her.’”

18 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “‘Mɛsane de Yakob ntomadan mu ahonyadeɛ aba na manya ayamhyehyeɛ ama nʼatenaeɛ ahodoɔ no; wɔbɛkyekyere kuropɔn no bio wɔ ne mmubuiɛ so, na ahemfie no bɛsi deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɛsie.

Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order.

19 Wɔn mu na aseda nnwom bɛfiri aba ne ahosɛpɛ nnyegyeɛ. Mɛma wɔadɔɔso, na wɔn dodoɔ no so rente; mɛhyɛ wɔn animuonyam, na wɔremmu wɔn abomfiaa.

And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened.

20 Wɔn mma bɛdi yie sɛ kane no, mɛma wɔn asafo atim wɔ mʼanim; wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa mɛtwe wɔn aso.

And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them.

21 Wɔn adikanfoɔ bɛyɛ wɔn mu baako; na wɔn sodifoɔ bɛfiri wɔn mu. Mɛka no abata me ho na wabɛn me, na hwan na ɔno ankasa bɛtumi de ne ho ama sɛ ɔbɛbɛn me?’ Awurade na ɔseɛ.

And their ruler will be one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord?

22 ‘Enti mobɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, na mayɛ mo Onyankopɔn.’”

And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

23 Hwɛ, Awurade ahum bɛtu abufuhyeɛ mu, ntwahoframa bɛdi kyinhyia wɔ amumuyɛfoɔ mpampam.

Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a destroying storm! It will rest upon the head of the impious.

24 Awurade abufuo rennwo kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛwie nʼakoma mu nhyehyɛeɛ nyinaa. Nna a ɛreba no mu no mobɛte yei ase.

The Lord will not turn back the wrath of his indignation, until he has accomplished and completed the plan of his heart. In the last days, you shall understand these things.
