Yeremia 33
1 Ɛberɛ a, Yeremia da so da dua mu wɔ awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ no, Awurade asɛm baa ne nkyɛn ne mprenu so sɛ:
The word of Jehovah came also to Jeremiah the second time, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, and said: —
2 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ, deɛ ɔbɔɔ asase, Awurade a ɔyɛeɛ ma ɛtimiiɛ, Awurade ne ne din:
Thus saith Jehovah, who doeth it, Jehovah who disposeth it, to establish it; Jehovah is his name.
3 ‘Frɛ me na mɛgye wo so, na maka wo nsɛm akɛseɛ ne nneɛma a ahinta a wonnim.
Call to me, and I will answer thee, And I will show thee great things, And hidden things which thou knowest not.
4 Na sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ka: Moabubu afie a ɛwɔ saa kuropɔn yi mu ne Yuda ahemfie ahodoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛnya mmubuiɛ de agyina afasuo no atia mo atamfoɔ ntuano epie ne akofena.
For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Concerning the houses of this city, And concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, Which are thrown down toward the mounds and the sword,
5 Moayɛ mo adwen sɛ mo ne Babiloniafoɔ bɛko, nanso mede mʼabufuo ne mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛkunkum mo, na mo afunu bɛyɛ hɔ ma. Mɛyi mʼani afiri saa kuropɔn yi so ɛsiane nʼamumuyɛ nyinaa enti.
To fight with the Chaldaeans, And to fill them with the dead bodies of men, Whom I have smitten in mine anger and in my wrath, And for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city:
6 “‘Nanso, mede ahoɔden ne ayaresa bɛbrɛ no; mɛsa me nkurɔfoɔ yadeɛ na mama wɔn anya asomdwoeɛ ne banbɔ a ɛdɔɔso.
Behold, I will bind up her wounds, and heal them, And I will reveal to them abundance of peace and stability.
7 Mɛsane de Yuda ne Israel afiri nnommumfa mu aba na masane agye wɔn asi hɔ sɛ dea na wɔte dada no.
And I will bring back the captives of Judah, And the captives of Israel, And I will build them, as at the first.
8 Mɛhohoro wɔn bɔne a wɔayɛ atia me no nyinaa, na mede wɔn atuateɛ ho bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, Whereby they have sinned against me; And I will forgive all their iniquities, Whereby they have sinned, And have rebelled against me.
9 Na saa kuropɔn yi bɛma me din ahyeta. Ɛbɛma me anigyeɛ, ayɛyie ne animuonyam wɔ asase so aman nyinaa a wɔte nnepa a meyɛ ma no nyinaa mu; wɔbɛsuro na wɔn ho apopo wɔ yiedie ne asomdwoeɛ bebrebe a mede ma no enti.’
And it [[the city]] shall be to me a name of joy, A praise and a glory among all the nations of the earth, Who shall hear of all the good which I do to them. And they shall fear and tremble because of all the good, And because of all the prosperity, which I bestow upon it.
10 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: ‘Woka fa saa beaeɛ yi ho sɛ, “Ada mpan, a nnipa anaasɛ mmoa nni so.” Nanso, Yuda nkuro ne Yerusalem mmɔntene a ada mpan na nnipa anaa mmoa nni no, ɛhɔ na wɔbɛsane ate bio
Thus saith Jehovah: Yet again shall be heard in this place, Of which ye say, “It is desolate, without man and without beast,” In the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, Which are desolate, without man, Even without an inhabitant and without beast,
11 ahurisie ne anigyeɛ nnyegyeɛ, ayeforɔ ne ayeforɔkunu nne ne wɔn a wɔde aseda afɔrebɔdeɛ reba Awurade efie nne sɛ, “‘Momfa aseda mma Asafo Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade yɛ, na ne dɔ wɔ hɔ daa.’” Na mɛsane de asase no so nnepa a ɛwɔ hɔ dada no aba bio, Awurade, na ɔseɛ.
The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, The voice of them that say, “Praise ye Jehovah of hosts, For Jehovah is good, For his mercy endureth forever!” And of them that bring an offering of praise to the house of Jehovah. For I will restore the captives of the land, As at the first, saith Jehovah.
12 “Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ: ‘Ɛha yi a ada mpan a nnipa ne mmoa nni mu no; ne nkuro nyinaa so no wɔbɛnya adidibea ama nnwanhwɛfoɔ deɛ wɔn nnwankuo bɛhome.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, Which is desolate, without man and without beast, And in all the cities thereof, A habitation of shepherds, who shall cause their flocks to rest;
13 Nkuro a ɛwɔ bepɔ so ɔman mu, atɔeɛ fam mmepɔ ase mu, Negeb, Benyamin mantam mu, nkuraase a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia ne Yuda nkuro mu, nnwankuo bɛtwam bio wɔ deɛ ɔkane wɔn nsa ase.’ Awurade, na aka.
In the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the plain, And in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, And in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, Shall the flocks pass yet again Under the hands of him that numbereth them, saith Jehovah.
14 “‘Nna no reba,’ Awurade na ɔseɛ, a mɛma adom bɔhyɛ a mehyɛɛ Israel efie ne Yudafie aba mu.
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will perform that good thing Which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel, And concerning the house of Judah.
15 “‘Nna no mu ne saa ɛberɛ no mɛma tenenee Duban afefɛ afiri Dawid ase; ɔbɛyɛ deɛ ɛtene ne deɛ ɛyɛ wɔ asase no so.
In those days and at that time Will I cause to grow up from David a righteous branch, Who shall maintain justice and equity in the land.
16 Saa nna no mu, wɔbɛgye Yuda nkwa na Yerusalem bɛtena asomdwoeɛ mu. Yei ne din a wɔde bɛfrɛ no Awurade, Yɛn Tenenee.’
In those days shall Judah be saved, And Jerusalem shall dwell securely; And this is the name which shall be given her, Jehovah-is-our-salvation.
17 Na yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: ‘Ɔbarima a ɔbɛtena Israel efie ahennwa so no remmɔ Dawid da,
For thus saith Jehovah: There shall never fail from David A man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 saa ara nso na asɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ no, ɔbarima a ɔbɛgyina mʼanim daa abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ na ɔde afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ abrɛ me, remmɔ wɔn da.’”
Neither from the priests and the Levites Shall a man fail before me, To offer burnt-offerings, and to kindle meat-offerings, And to perform sacrifice continually.
19 Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ:
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah and said,
20 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: ‘Sɛ wobɛtumi abu me ne adekyeɛ ne adesaeɛ apam so, na adekyeɛ ne adesaeɛ amma wɔn ɛberɛ a wɔahyehyɛ no a,
Thus saith Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant concerning the day, And my covenant concerning the night, So that there shall no more be day and night in their season,
21 ɛnneɛ na me ne mʼakoa Dawid apam ne Lewifoɔ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ a wɔsom wɔ mʼanim no apam no nso, wobɛtumi abu so, na Dawid rennya nʼaseni a ɔbɛtena ahennwa so adi ɔhene bio.
Then also may my covenant with David my servant be broken, So that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne, And with the Levites, the priests, my servants.
22 Mɛma mʼakoa Dawid asefoɔ ne Lewifoɔ a wɔsom wɔ mʼanim no ase adɔre te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma a wɔntumi nkane ne mpoano anwea a wɔntumi nsusuo.’”
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So will I multiply the posterity of David my servant, And the Levites who minister to me.
23 Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ,
The word of Jehovah came also to Jeremiah, saying:
24 “Wontee sɛ nnipa yi reka sɛ, ‘Awurade apo ahennie mmienu a ɔyiiɛ no’ anaa? Enti wɔbu me ɔman animtia na wɔmmfa wɔn sɛ wɔyɛ ɔman bio.
Seest thou not what this people speaketh, saying, “The two families, which Jehovah chose, he hath cast off”? Therefore they despise my people, So that they are no more a people in their eyes.
25 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Sɛ mantintim me ne adekyeɛ ne adesaeɛ apam ne ɔsoro ne asase mmara no a,
Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant concerning the day and the night be not maintained, And if I have not established the ordinances of the heaven and the earth,
26 ɛnneɛ anka mɛpo Yakob ne mʼakoa Dawid asefoɔ, na merennyi ne mmammarima mu baako sɛ ɔnni Abraham, Isak ne Yakob asefoɔ so. Na mede wɔn ahonyadeɛ bɛsane ama wɔn, na manya ayamhyehyeɛ ama wɔn.’”
Then will I cast away the posterity of Jacob, and of David, my servant, So as not to take of his posterity to be rulers Over the posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; For I will bring them back from their captivity, And have mercy upon them.
