Yeremia 30

1 Asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ nie:

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 speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken to thee in a book.

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, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captives of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

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

And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

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

For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of 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?

Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

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

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of 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.

For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more bring him into subjection:

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

But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to 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 fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

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 thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

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

For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

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

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

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 thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thy iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

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 criest thou over thy affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thy iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things to thee.

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.

Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thy adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that plunder thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for 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 restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

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 saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captives of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after its manner.

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 out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

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

Their children also shall be as in former time, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress 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 nobles shall be from themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me? saith the LORD.

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

And ye 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 goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

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

The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he hath performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
