Yeremia 40
1 Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua ɔhene awɛmfoɔ ano no gyaee Yeremia wɔ Rama akyi no, asɛm no firi Awurade nkyɛn baa Yeremia hɔ. Ɔhunuu sɛ, wɔagu Yeremia nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn wɔ nnommumfoɔ a wɔfiri Yerusalem ne Yuda a na wɔde wɔn rekɔ Babilonia no mu.
Ko e folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia, hili hono tukuange ia mei Lama ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, he naʻe haʻisia ʻaki ia ʻae maea ukamea fihifihi fakataha mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema mo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ki Papilone.
2 Brɛ a ɔsahene a ɔtua awɛmfoɔ no ano no hunuu Yeremia no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na ɔhyɛɛ saa amanehunu yi maa beaeɛ yi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo kia Selemaia, “Kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae kovi ni, ki he potu ni.
3 Na afei, Awurade ama aba mu. Wayɛ sɛdeɛ ɔkaa sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no. Yeinom nyinaa baa mu, ɛfiri sɛ, mo saa nnipa yi yɛɛ bɔne tiaa Awurade na moanyɛ ɔsetie amma no.
Pea ko eni, kuo fakahoko ia ʻe Sihova, pea kuo fai ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola: koeʻuhi kuo mou fai angahala kia Sihova, pea ʻikai talangofua ki hono leʻo, ko ia kuo hoko ai ʻae meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu.
4 Nanso, ɛnnɛ mereyi wo afiri nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a ɛgu wo nsa no mu. Sɛ wopɛ a, ma yɛnkɔ Babilonia na mɛhwɛ wo so, nanso sɛ wompɛ deɛ a ɛmma. Hwɛ ɔman no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim no, kɔ baabiara a wopɛ.”
Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo u vete mei ho nima he ʻaho ni ʻae maea ukamea fihifihi. Pea kapau ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke tā ʻo mo au ki Papilone, haʻu; pea te u fai lelei kiate koe: pea kapau ʻoku kovi kiate koe ke tā ʻo mo au ki Papilone, tuku: vakai ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa pē: pea ko e potu ʻoku lelei mo ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻalu ki ai, ke ke ʻalu ki ai.”
5 Na ansa na Yeremia bɛdane ne ho akɔ no, Nebusaradan ka kaa ho sɛ, “Sane kɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia a, ɔyɛ Safan nana, a Babiloniahene apa no sɛ ɔnhwɛ Yuda nkuro so no nkyɛn na wo ne no nkɔtena wɔ nnipa no mu, anaasɛ kɔ baabi foforɔ biara a wopɛ.” Na ɔsahene no maa Yeremia aduane ne akyɛdeɛ, na ɔmaa no kɔeɛ.
Pea ʻi he teʻeki ai te ne liliu atu, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko ia ke ke nofo mo Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ke ke nofo mo ia mo e kakai: pe te ke ʻalu ki ha potu ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke ʻalu ki ai,” Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae ʻoho mo e totongi, pea tukuange ia.
6 Enti, Yeremia kɔɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa, na ɔne no tenaa nnipa a wɔkaa wɔ asase no so no mu.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Selemaia kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ʻi Misipa; ʻo nofo mo ia pea mo e kakai naʻe toe ʻi he fonua.
7 Ɛberɛ a asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no nyinaa ne wɔn mmarima a wɔda so wɔ wiram no tee sɛ, Babiloniahene ayɛ Ahikam babarima Gedalia amrado wɔ asase no so, na ɔde mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra a wɔyɛ ahiafoɔ wɔ asase no so, na wɔamfa wɔn ankɔ nnommumfa mu wɔ Babilonia ahyɛ ne nsa no,
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae ʻeikitau kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, ʻakinautolu mo honau kakai, kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ke pule ʻi he fonua, pea kuo tukuange kiate ia ʻae kau tangata, mo e kau fefine, mo e fānau, pea mo e kakai masiva ʻoe fonua, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai fetuku fakapōpula ki Papilone;
8 wɔbaa Gedalia hɔ wɔ Mispa: Netania babarima Ismael, Karea mmammarima Yohanan ne Yonatan, Tanhumet babarima Seraia, Efai a ɔfiri Netofa mmammarima, Yesania a, ɔyɛ Maakani babarima ne wɔn mmarima.
Naʻa nau haʻu kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻio, ko ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea ko Sohanani mo Sonatani ko e ongo foha ʻo Kalia, pea ko Selaia ko e foha ʻo Tanumeti, pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIfai ko e tangata Nitofa, pea mo Seasania ko e foha ʻoe tangata mei Meaka, ʻakinautolu mo honau kau tangata.
9 Na Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nana no kaa ntam de hyɛɛ wɔn ne wɔn mmarima den sɛ, “Monnsuro sɛ mobɛsom Babiloniafoɔ. Montena asase no so na monsom Babiloniahene, na ɛbɛsi mo yie.
Pea naʻe fuakava kiate kinautolu mo ʻenau kakai ʻe Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē ke tauhi ki he kau Kalitia: mou nofo ʻi he fonua, pea tauhi ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ʻe lelei ia kiate kimoutolu.
10 Me deɛ, mɛtena Mispa, na masi mo anan mu wɔ Babiloniafoɔ a wɔbɛba abɛhyia yɛn no mu, na mo deɛ, monkɔ boaboa nsã, ahuhuro berɛ mu nnuaba ne ngo ano ngu adekora nkuruwa mu wɔ twaberɛ mu, na montenatena nkuro a moafa no so.”
Pea ko eni, vakai, te u nofo ʻi Misipa, ke tauhi ʻae kau Kalitia, ʻakinautolu ʻe haʻu kiate kitautolu: ka ko kimoutolu, ke mou tānaki ʻae uaine, mo e ngaahi fua momoho, mo e lolo, pea tuku ia ki he ngaahi puha, pea nonofo ʻi homou ngaahi kolo ʻaia kuo mou maʻu.”
11 Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ Moab, Amon, Edom ne aman ahodoɔ a aka no, tee sɛ Babiloniahene agya nkaeɛfoɔ bi wɔ Yuda na wayi Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nana sɛ amrado wɔ wɔn so no,
Pea kuo fanongo foki ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Moape, pea ʻi he kau ʻAmoni, pea ʻi ʻItomi, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngaahi potu, kuo tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae toenga kakai ʻi Siuta, pea kuo fakanofo ke pule kiate kinautolu ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani;
12 wɔn nyinaa sane baa Yuda asase so firi aman a wɔbɔɔ wɔn peteeɛ no so, kɔɔ Gedalia hɔ wɔ Mispa. Na wɔboaboaa nsã ne ahuhuro nnuaba bebree ano wɔ twaberɛ mu.
Naʻe liliu mai ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai, ʻonau haʻu ki he fonua ʻo Siuta, kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa: pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻae uaine mo e ngaahi fua momoho ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
13 Na Karea babarima Yohanan ne akodɔm ntuanofoɔ a wɔda so wɔ wiram no baa Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa
Pea naʻe haʻu kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻa Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoe kau tau naʻe ʻi he ngoue.
14 na wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wonnim sɛ, Amonhene Baalis asoma Netania babarima Ismael sɛ, ɔmmɛkum wo anaa?” Nanso, Ahikam babarima Gedalia annye wɔn anni.
Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo pau kuo fekau ʻe Pelisi ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoni ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ke tāmateʻi koe?” Ka naʻe ʻikai tui kiate kinautolu ʻe Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami.
15 Na Karea babarima Yohanan ka kyerɛɛ Gedalia wɔ kɔkoam wɔ Mispa sɛ, “Ma menkɔkum Netania babarima Ismael, na obiara rente. Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkum wo na ɔma Yudafoɔ a wɔatwa wo ho ahyia no bɔ hwete, na Yudafoɔ nkaeɛfoɔ no yera?”
Pea naʻe lea fakafufū ʻa Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu, pea te u tāmateʻi ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha: te ne tāmateʻi koe, koeʻumaʻā; ke fakamovetevete ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē kuo fakataha kiate koe, pea ʻauha ʻae toenga kakai ʻi Siuta?”
16 Nanso, Ahikam babarima Gedalia ka kyerɛɛ Karea babarima Yohanan sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ saa adeɛ yi! Deɛ woka fa Ismael ho no nyɛ nokorɛ.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami kia Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke fai ʻae meʻa ni: he ʻoku ke lohiakiʻi ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli.”
