Yeremia 37
1 Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar de Yosia babarima Sedekia dii Yudahene; ɔsii Yehoiakim babarima Yehoiakin anan mu.
Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni, inakhazika pa mpando waufumu Zedekiya mwana wa Yosiya kukhala mfumu ya Yuda. Iye analowa mʼmalo mwa Yehoyakini mwana wa Yehoyakimu.
2 Ɔno, nʼasomfoɔ ne nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so antie Awurade asɛm a ɔnam odiyifoɔ Yeremia so kaeɛ no.
Koma Zedekiya kapena atumiki ake ngakhalenso anthu a mʼdzikomo sanasamalire mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula kudzera mwa mneneri Yeremiya.
3 Ɔhene Sedekia somaa Selemia babarima Yehukal ne Maaseia babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Sefania sɛ, wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Yeremia sɛ, “Yɛsrɛ wo, bɔ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ ma yɛn.”
Tsono Zedekiya anatuma Yehukali mwana wa Selemiya ndi wansembe Zefaniya mwana wa Maseya kwa mneneri Yeremiya ndi uthenga uwu: “Chonde tipempherereni kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu.”
4 Na Yeremia de ne ho, di nnipa no mu akɔneaba, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔmfaa no ntoo afiase.
Nthawi imeneyinso nʼkuti Yeremiya ali ndi ufulu woyenda pakati pa anthu chifukwa anali asanaponyedwe mʼndende.
5 Na Farao akodɔm afiri Misraim reba, na Babiloniafoɔ a wɔatua Yerusalem no tee wɔn nka no, wɔfirii Yerusalem.
Nthawi imeneyinso nʼkuti gulu lankhondo la Farao litatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto. Ndipo Ababuloni amene anali atazinga Yerusalemu atamva zimenezi, anachoka ku Yerusalemuko.
6 Ɛna Awurade asɛm baa odiyifoɔ Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ,
Tsono Yehova anawuza mneneri Yeremiya kuti,
7 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ: Monka nkyerɛ Yudahene a, ɔsomaa mo sɛ mommɛbisa me hɔ biribi no sɛ, ‘Farao akodɔm a wɔfirii adi sɛ wɔrebɛboa mo no bɛsane akɔ wɔn ankasa asase so, Misraim so.
“Uyiwuze mfumu ya Yuda imene inakutuma kuti udzapemphe nzeru kwa ine kuti Ine Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli ndikuti, gulu lankhondo la Farao limene linatuluka kuti lidzakuthandize lidzabwerera kwawo ku Igupto.
8 Na Babiloniafoɔ no bɛsane abɛto ahyɛ saa kuropɔn yi so; wɔbɛgye na wɔahye no dworobɛɛ.’
Ndipo Ababuloni adzabwerera kudzathira nkhondo mzinda uno. Iwo adzawugonjetsa ndi kuwutentha.
9 “Sɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Monnnaadaa mo ho nnwene sɛ, ‘Ampa ara Babiloniafoɔ no bɛfiri yɛn so akɔ.’ Wɔrenkɔ!
“Yehova akuti: Musadzinyenge, nʼkumaganiza kuti, ‘Ndithu Ababuloni adzatisiya.’ Ndithudi sadzakusiyani!
10 Sɛ modi Babiloniafoɔ akodɔm a wɔato ahyɛ mo so no so ma ɛka apirafoɔ wɔ wɔn ntomadan mu mpo a, wɔbɛfiri adi abɛhye kuropɔn yi dworobɛɛ.”
Ngakhale mutagonjetsa gulu lonse lankhondo la Ababuloni limene likukuthirani nkhondo ndipo mʼmatenti mwawo ndikutsala anthu ovulala okhaokha, amenewo adzabwera ndi kudzatentha mzinda uno.”
11 Babilonia akodɔm firii Yerusalem, ɛsiane Farao akodɔm no enti akyi no,
Gulu lankhondo la Ababuloni litaleka kuthira nkhondo mzinda wa Yerusalemu chifukwa choopa gulu lankhondo la Farao,
12 Yeremia yɛɛ ahoboa sɛ ɔrefiri kuropɔn no mu, akɔ Benyamin mantam akɔgye nʼagyapadeɛ mu kyɛfa wɔ nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no mu.
Yeremiya ananyamuka kuchoka ku Yerusalemu ndi kumapita ku dziko la Benjamini kuti akalandire gawo lake la minda ya makolo ake.
13 Nanso, ɔkɔduruu Benyamin Ɛpono ano no, awɛmfoɔ no so panin a wɔfrɛ no Yiria a ɔyɛ Selemia babarima ne Hanania nana kyeree no kaa sɛ, “Woredwane agya yɛn akɔ Babiloniafoɔ afa!”
Koma atafika pa Chipata cha Benjamini, mkulu wa alonda amene dzina lake linali Iriya mwana wa Selemiya, mwana wa Hananiya, anagwira mneneri Yeremiyayo ndipo anati, “Iwe ukuthawira kwa Ababuloni!”
14 Yeremia buaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ nokorɛ. Merennwane nkɔ Babiloniafoɔ afa.” Nanso, Yiria antie, na mmom ɔkyeree Yeremia de no kɔmaa ne mpanimfoɔ.
Yeremiya anati, “Zimenezo si zoona! Ine sindikuthawira kwa Ababuloni.” Koma Iriya sanamumvere. Mʼmalo mwake anagwira Yeremiya nʼkupita naye kwa akuluakulu.
15 Wɔn bo fuu Yeremia, na wɔmaa wɔboroo no de no too afiase wɔ ɔtwerɛfoɔ Yonatan efie a na wɔde ayɛ nneduadan no.
Akuluakuluwo anamupsera mtima Yeremiya ndipo anamukwapula ndi kumuyika mʼnyumba ya mlembi Yonatani, imene anayisandutsa ndende.
16 Wɔde Yeremia too asase ase afiase, ma ɔdii nna bebree wɔ hɔ.
Yeremiya anayikidwa mʼndende ya pansi pa nthaka, kumene anakhalako nthawi yayitali.
17 Akyire yi, ɔhene Sedekia soma ma wɔkɔfaa no baa ahemfie, ɛhɔ na ɔbisaa no wɔ kɔkoam sɛ, “Woanya asɛm bi afiri Awurade nkyɛn anaa?” Yeremia buaa sɛ, “Aane, wɔde wo bɛma Babiloniahene.”
Kenaka Mfumu Zedekiya inatuma anthu kuti akayitane Yeremiya ndipo anabwera naye ku nyumba ya mfumu. Atafika mfumu inamufunsa mwamseri kuti, “Kodi pali mawu ena amene Yehova wakuwuza?” Yeremiya anayankha kuti, “Inde. Inu mfumu mudzaperekedwa kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni.”
18 Afei, Yeremia bisaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn bɔne na mayɛ atia wo, anaa wʼadwumayɛfoɔ anaa nnipa yi a enti wɔde me ato afiase yi?
Pamenepo Yeremiya anafunsa Mfumu Zedekiya kuti, “Kodi ndakulakwirani chiyani inuyo kapena akuluakulu anu kapenanso anthu awa, kuti mundiyike mʼndende?
19 Ɛhe na wʼadiyifoɔ a wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm kyerɛɛ wo sɛ, ‘Babiloniahene rento nhyɛ wo so anaa asase yi so’ no wɔ?
Kodi ali kuti aneneri anu amene anakuloserani kuti, ‘Mfumu ya ku Babuloni sidzakuthirani nkhondo pamodzi ndi dziko lino’?
20 Na afei, ɔdɛɛfoɔ, mesrɛ wo, tie. Ma memfa me nkotosrɛ nto wʼanim: Mfa me nkɔto ɔtwerɛfoɔ Yonatan efie hɔ bio, anyɛ saa a mɛwu wɔ hɔ.”
Koma tsopano, mbuye wanga mfumu, chonde tamverani. Loleni ndinene pempho langa pamaso panu: Musandibwezere ku nyumba ya mlembi Yonatani, kuopa kuti ndingakafere kumeneko.”
21 Ɔhene Sedekia hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa Yeremia nkɔto awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ, na wɔmma no burodo a ɛfiri burodotofoɔ borɔno so da biara nkɔsi sɛ kuropɔn no mu burodo nyinaa bɛsa. Enti Yeremia kaa awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ.
Tsono Mfumu Zedekiya analamula kuti Yeremiya asungidwe mʼbwalo la alonda. Ankamupatsa buledi tsiku ndi tsiku amene ankamugula kwa ophika buledi. Anapitiriza kutero mpaka buledi yense anatha mu mzindamo. Choncho Yeremiya anapitirira kukhala mʼbwalo la alonda.
