1 Yei ne asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ wɔ Yudahene Sedekia adedie afe a ɛtɔ so edu a na ɛyɛ Nebukadnessar adedie afe a ɛtɔ so dunwɔtwe.
2 Na Babiloniahene akodɔm aka Yerusalem ahyɛ a na odiyifoɔ Yeremia nso da dua mu wɔ awɛmfoɔ adihɔ a ɛwɔ Yuda ahemfie.
3 Na Yudahene Sedekia de no ato afiase na ɔrebisa no sɛ adɛn enti na wohyɛ nkɔm sɛ, “Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Mede saa kuropɔn yi rebɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa, na wafa no nnommum.
4 Yudahene Sedekia renya ɛkwan nnwane mfiri Babiloniafoɔ nsam, na ampa ara hyɛ na wɔde no bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa, na ɔne no akasa anim ne anim na ɔde nʼani ahunu no.
5 Ɔde Sedekia bɛkɔ Babilonia, na ɛhɔ na ɔbɛtena akɔsi sɛ me ne no bɛdi, Awurade na ɔseɛ. Sɛ woko tia Babiloniafoɔ no a worenni nkonim.’”
6 Yeremia kaa sɛ, “Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
7 Wo wɔfa Salum babarima Hanamel rebɛba wo nkyɛn, abɛka sɛ, ‘Tɔ mʼasase a ɛwɔ Anatot no, ɛfiri sɛ woyɛ me busuani nimpɔn na wowɔ ho ɛkwan, na ɛyɛ wʼasɛdeɛ nso sɛ wotɔ.’
8 “Na sɛdeɛ Awurade aka no me wɔfa ba Hanamel baa me nkyɛn wɔ awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ bɛkaa sɛ, ‘Tɔ mʼasase a ɛwɔ Anatot wɔ Benyamin mantam mu no. Esiane sɛ wowɔ ho ɛkwan sɛ wogyeɛ na wofa no enti, tɔ na fa.’ “Mehunuu sɛ yei yɛ Awurade asɛm.”
9 Enti, metɔɔ asase a na ɛwɔ Anatot no firii me wɔfa ba Hanamel nkyɛn na metuaa dwetɛ gram ɔha ne aduɔkron ɛnan maa no.
10 Mede me nsa hyɛɛ adetɔ nwoma no ase, sɔɔ ano wɔ adansefoɔ anim, na mede nsania karii dwetɛ mpɔ no.
11 Na mefaa adetɔ nwoma no, deɛ wɔasɔ ano a ɛho nhyehyɛeɛ wɔ mu no, ne deɛ wɔnsɔɔ ano no nso,
12 na mede saa adetɔ nwoma no maa Neria babarima Baruk a, ɔyɛ Maaseia nana no wɔ me wɔfa ba Hanamel, adansefoɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa hyɛɛ adetɔ nwoma no ase ne Yudafoɔ a na wɔwɔ awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ no nyinaa anim.
13 “Meka kyerɛɛ Baruk wɔ wɔn nyinaa anim sɛ,
14 ‘Deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no seɛ nie, Fa saa adetɔ so nwoma yi, deɛ wɔasɔ ano ne deɛ wɔnnsɔɔ ano, na fa gu dɔteɛ asuhina mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛkyɛre yie.
15 Deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, no seɛ nie: Wɔbɛtotɔ afie, mfuo ne bobe nturo wɔ asase yi so bio.’
Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Take the cup of this unmixed wine from mine hand, and you shall cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send you.
16 “Mede adetɔ nwoma no maa Neria babarima Baruk. Akyire no, mebɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ sɛ,
And they shall drink, and vomit, and be mad, because of the sword which I send among them.
17 “Ao, Otumfoɔ Awurade, wo na wonam wo tumi ne wo basa a woatene muo so abɔ ɔsoro ne asase. Biribiara nyɛ den mma wo.
So I took the cup out of the Lord's hand, and caused the nations to whom the Lord sent me to drink:
18 Woyi ɔdɔ adi kyerɛ mpempem, nanso wotua agyanom amumuyɛ so ka gu wɔn mma a wɔdi wɔn akyi srɛ so. Ao, Onyankopɔn a woso na wowɔ tumi, wo din ne Asafo Awurade,
Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings of Juda, and his princes, to make them a desert place, a desolation, and a hissing;
19 wo botaeɛ so, na wo nneyɛeɛ yɛ kɛseɛ. Wʼaniwa hunu nnipa akwan nyinaa; na wotua obiara ka sɛdeɛ nʼabrabɔ ne ne nneyɛeɛ teɛ.
and Pharao king of Egypt, and his servants, and his nobles, and all his people;
20 Woyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne anwanwadeɛ wɔ Misraim na atoa so de abɛsi ɛnnɛ wɔ Israel ne adasamma nyinaa mu, na wode agye din a ɛwɔ wo de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
and all the mingled [people], and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus,
21 Wode nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne anwanwadeɛ, nsa a ɛyɛ den ne abasa a watene mu ne nneɛma ɛyɛ hu yii wo ɔman Israel firii Misraim.
and Idumea, and the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon,
22 Wode asase a wokaa ho ntam sɛ wode bɛma wɔn agyanom no maa wɔn, asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene so.
and the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings in the [country] beyond the sea,
23 Wɔba bɛfaeɛ, na wɔtenaa so, nanso wɔantie wo, na wɔanni wo mmara so; wɔanyɛ deɛ wohyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no. Enti wode saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.
and Daedan, and Thaeman, and Ros, and every one that is shaved round about the face,
24 “Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔasisi ntuano mpampim de rebɛgye kuropɔn no. Esiane akofena, ɛkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm enti, wɔde kuropɔn no bɛhyɛ Babiloniafoɔ a wɔreto ahyɛ ne so no nsa. Deɛ wokaeɛ no aba mu sɛdeɛ wohunu no seesei no.
and all the mingled [people] lodging in the wilderness,
25 Na ɛwom sɛ wɔde kuropɔn no bɛhyɛ Babiloniafoɔ nsa deɛ, nanso wo, Ao, Otumfoɔ Awurade, ka kyerɛ me sɛ, ‘Fa dwetɛ tɔ asase na ma adansefoɔ mmra ɛho nhyehyɛeɛ no mu.’”
and all the kings of Aelam, and all the kings of the Persians,
26 Ɛna Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ,
and all the kings from the north, the far and the near, each one with his brother, and all the kingdoms which are on the face of the earth.
27 “Mene Awurade adasamma nyinaa Onyankopɔn. Na biribi yɛ den dodo ma me anaa?
And you shall say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty; Drink you, be you drunken; and you shall vomit, and shall fall, and shall in nowise rise, because of the sword which I send among you.
28 Enti, deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Mede kuropɔn yi rebɛhyɛ Babiloniafoɔ ne Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar nsa, na wɔafa.
And it shall come to pass, when they refuse to take the cup out of your hand, to drink it, that you shall say, Thus said the Lord; You shall surely drink.
29 Babiloniafoɔ a wɔreto ahyɛ saa kuropɔn yi so no bɛba mu, na wɔato mu ogya; wɔbɛhye no dworobɛɛ, ɛno ne afie a nnipa hyee nnuhwam wɔ atifi maa Baal na wɔhwiee afɔrebɔ nsã maa anyame foforɔ de hyɛɛ me abufuo.
For I am beginning to afflict the city whereon my name is called, and you shall by no means be held guiltless: for I am calling a sword upon all that dwell upon the earth.
30 “Israelfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ nyɛɛ biribiara sɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so, ɛfiri wɔn mmabunu berɛ mu; ampa ara Israelfoɔ nnyɛɛ biribiara sɛ wɔde nneɛma a wɔde wɔn nsa ayɛ bɛhyɛ me abufuo, Awurade na ɔseɛ.
And you shall prophesy against them these words, and shall say, The Lord shall speak from on high, from his sanctuary he will utter his voice; he will pronounce a declaration on his place; and these shall answer like men gathering grapes: and destruction is coming on them that dwell on the earth,
31 Ɛfiri da a wɔkyekyeree saa kuropɔn yi de bɛsi ɛnnɛ, wahyɛ me abufuo ne abufutrasoɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ anka meyi no firi mʼani so.
[even] upon [the extreme] part of the earth; for the Lord [has] a controversy with the nations, he is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword, says the Lord.
32 Israelfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ de bɔne a wɔayɛ nyinaa ahyɛ me abufuo, wɔn, wɔn ahemfo ne adwumayɛfoɔ, wɔn asɔfoɔ ne adiyifoɔ, mmarima a wɔwɔ Yuda ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem.
Thus said the Lord; Behold, evils are proceeding from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind goes forth from the end of the earth.
33 Wɔdanee wɔn akyi kyerɛɛ me; ɛwom, mekyerɛkyerɛ wɔn ɛberɛ biara deɛ, nanso wɔantie na wɔammfa ntenesoɔ.
And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.
34 Wɔasisi ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ wɔ efie a me Din da so no mu, de guu ho fi.
Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and lament, you rams of the flock: for your days have been completed for slaughter, and you shall fall as the choice rams.
35 Wɔsisii sorɔnsorɔmmea maa Baal wɔ Ben Hinom bɔnhwa mu, de wɔn mmammarima ne mmammaa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Molek, wɔ ɛberɛ a menhyɛɛ wɔn na ɛmmaa mʼadwene mu da sɛ wɔnyɛ saa akyiwadeɛ yi mma Yuda nyɛ bɔne.
And flight shall perish from the shepherds, and safety from the rams of the flock.
36 “Woreka wɔ kuropɔn yi ho sɛ, ‘Wɔnam akofena, ɛkɔm ne ɔyaredɔm so de bɛhyɛ Babiloniahene nsa’; nanso yei ne deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ:
A voice of the crying of the shepherds, and a moaning of the sheep and the rams: for the Lord has destroyed their pastures.
37 Ampa ara mɛboaboa wɔn ano afiri nsase a mefiri mʼabufuhyeɛ mu pamoo wɔn kɔguiɛ hɔ; mɛsane de wɔn aba ha na mama wɔatena ase ahotɔ mu.
And the peaceful abodes that remain shall be destroyed before the fierceness of my anger.
38 Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
He has forsaken his lair, as a lion: for their land is become desolate before the great sword.
39 Na mɛma wɔn akoma korɔ na wɔayɛ wɔn adeɛ abɔ mu, sɛdeɛ, ɛberɛ biara wɔbɛsuro me wɔn ankasa ne wɔn nkyirimma yiedie enti.
40 Na me ne wɔn bɛyɛ daapem apam: Merennyae wɔn yieyɛ da, na mede ɔpɛ bɛhyɛ wɔn akoma mu, ama wɔn asuro me, sɛdeɛ wɔrentwe wɔn ho mfiri me ho da.
41 Mʼani bɛgye sɛ mɛyɛ wɔn yie, na ampa ara mede mʼakoma ne me kra nyinaa bɛdua wɔn wɔ asase yi so.
42 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Sɛdeɛ mede amanehunu kɛseɛ yi nyinaa aba nkurɔfoɔ yi so no, saa ara na mede yiedie a mahyɛ wɔn ho bɔ no bɛma wɔn.
43 Wɔbɛtotɔ nsase bio wɔ ha, deɛ moka wɔ ho sɛ, ‘Wɔde ahyɛ Babiloniafoɔ nsa, ɛno enti ada mpan, na nnipa anaa mmoa nni so.’
44 Wɔde dwetɛ bɛtotɔ nsase, na wɔbɛyɛ adetɔ nwoma wɔ so. Wɔbɛsɔ ano wɔ adansefoɔ anim wɔ Benyamin mantam, nkuraase a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia, nkuro a ɛwɔ Yuda, bepɔ so ɔman, atɔeɛ fam mmepɔ ase ne Negeb, ɛfiri sɛ, mɛsane de wɔn ahonyadeɛ ama wɔn, Awurade na ɔseɛ.”
