Yeremia 8
1 “‘Saa ɛberɛ no, sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, wɔbɛyiyi Yuda ahemfo ne adwumayɛfoɔ nnompe, asɔfoɔ ne adiyifoɔ nnompe ne Yerusalemfoɔ nnompe afiri wɔn nnamena mu.
In that tyme, seith the Lord, thei schulen caste out the boonys of the kingis of Juda, and the boonys of princes therof, and the boonys of prestis, and the boonys of profetis, and the boonys of hem that dwelliden in Jerusalem fro her sepulcris;
2 Wɔbɛsɛ no kɛtɛ wɔ awia ne ɔsrane ne ɔsorosoro nsoromma nyinaa a wɔdɔɔɛ na wɔsomeeɛ na wɔdii akyire no ase. Wɔremmoa wɔn ano na wɔrensie wɔn, mmom, wɔbɛyɛ sɛ sumina a ɛgugu fam.
and thei schulen leie abrood tho boonys to the sunne, and moone, and to al the knyythod of heuene, which thei louyden, and which thei seruyden, and aftir whiche thei yeden, and whiche thei souyten, and worschipiden; tho schulen not be gaderid, and schulen not be biried; tho schulen be in to a dunghil on the face of erthe.
3 Saa ɔman bɔne yi nkaeɛfoɔ no, baabiara a mɛtwa wɔn asuo akɔ no, wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛwu sene sɛ wɔbɛtena nkwa mu, sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.’
And alle men schulen cheese deth more than lijf, whiche ben left of this worst kynrede, in alle places that ben left, to whiche places Y castide hem out, seith the Lord of oostis.
4 “Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “‘Sɛ nnipa hwe ase a, wɔnsɔre anaa? Sɛ onipa dane ne ho a, ɔnsane nʼakyi anaa?
And thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord seith these thingis, Whether he that schal falle, schal not rise ayen? and whether he that is turned awei, schal not turne ayen?
5 Afei adɛn enti na saa nnipa yi adane wɔn ho? Adɛn enti na Yerusalem dane ne ho daa yi? Wɔkura nnaadaa mu pintinn; na wɔmpɛ sɛ wɔsane wɔn akyi.
Whi therfor is this puple in Jerusalem turned awei bi turnyng awei ful of strijf? Thei han take leesyng, and nolden turne ayen.
6 Mawɛn maso matie, nanso wɔnnka deɛ ɛtene. Wɔn mu biara nnu ne ho wɔ nʼamumuyɛ ho, na ɔka sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mayɛ?” Obiara fa ɔno ara ɛkwan so te sɛ ɔpɔnkɔ a ɔrebɔ hyia dɔm.
Y perseyuede, and herknede; no man spekith that that is good, noon is that doith penaunce for his synne, and seith, What haue Y do? Alle ben turnede togidere to her cours, as an hors goynge bi fersnesse to batel.
7 Mpo asukɔnkɔn a ɔwɔ ewiem nim ne mmerɛ a wɔahyehyɛ ama no, na aturukuku, asomfena ne anyankuku hunu ɛberɛ a wɔtu kɔtena baabi, nanso me nkurɔfoɔ nnim deɛ Awurade hwehwɛ.
A kite in the eir knew his tyme; a turtle, and a swalewe, and a siconye, kepten the tyme of her comyng; but my puple knew not the doom of the Lord.
8 “‘Adɛn na motumi ka sɛ, “Yɛnim nyansa, ɛfiri sɛ yɛwɔ Awurade mmara,” wɔ ɛberɛ a atwerɛfoɔ twerɛdua torofoɔ de atorɔ adanedane mu?
Hou seien ye, We ben wise men, and the lawe of the Lord is with vs? Verili the fals writyng of scribis wrouyte leesyng.
9 Anyansafoɔ no anim bɛgu ase; wɔn ho bɛdwiri wɔn na afidie ayi wɔn. Sɛ wɔapo Awurade asɛm no a, na ɛdeɛn nyansa na wɔwɔ?
Wise men ben schent, ben maad aferd and takun. For thei castiden awei the word of the Lord, and no wisdom is in hem.
10 Mede wɔn yerenom bɛma mmarimma foforɔ ne wɔn mfuo nso ama afoforɔ. Ɛfiri akumaa so kɔsi ɔkɛseɛ so, wɔn nyinaa yɛ adifudepɛfoɔ de pɛ ahonya; adiyifoɔ ne asɔfoɔ te saa, wɔn nyinaa yɛ asisifoɔ.
Therfor Y schal yyue the wymmen of hem to straungeris, and the feeldis of hem to alien eiris; for fro the leeste `til to the mooste alle suen aueryce, fro a profete `til to the preest alle maken leesyng;
11 Wɔmia me nkurɔfoɔ apirakuro te sɛ deɛ ɛnyɛ hu. Wɔka sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ, asomdwoeɛ” wɔ mmerɛ a asomdwoeɛ nni hɔ.
and thei heeliden the sorowe of the douytir of my puple to schenschipe, seiynge, Pees, pees, whanne no pees was.
12 Wɔn ani wu wɔ wɔn animguaseɛ nneyɛɛ no ho anaa? Dabi, wɔn ani nnwu koraa; wɔnnim fɛreɛ mpo. Enti wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ atɔfoɔ mu; sɛ metwe wɔn aso a, wɔbɛhwehwe ase, sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
Thei ben schent, for thei diden abhomynacioun; yhe, rather thei weren not schent bi schenschipe, and kouden not be aschamed. Therfor thei schulen falle among falleris, in the tyme of her visitacioun thei schulen falle, seith the Lord.
13 “‘Mɛfa wɔn otwa berɛ nnɔbaeɛ akɔ, deɛ Awurade seɛ nie. Aba biara remma bobe nnua no so. Aba biara remma borɔdɔma nnua no so, ɛso nhahan bɛdwindwan. Deɛ mede ama wɔn no wɔbɛgye afiri wɔn nsam.’”
I gaderynge schal gadere hem, seith the Lord; no grape is in the vynes, and figis ben not in the fige tre; a leef felle doun, and Y yaf to hem tho thingis that ben go out ouer.
14 Adɛn enti na yɛtete ha? Mommoaboa mo ho ano! Momma yɛnnwane nkɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ banbɔ mu na yɛnkɔwuwu wɔ hɔ! Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn abu yɛn kumfɔ na wama yɛn nsuo a awuduro wɔ mu sɛ yɛnnom, ɛfiri sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne atia no.
Whi sitten we? come ye togidere, entre we in to a strong citee, and be we stille there; for oure Lord hath maad vs to be stille, and yaf to vs drynk the watir of galle; for we han synned to the Lord.
15 Yɛhwɛɛ ɛkwan sɛ yɛbɛnya asomdwoeɛ nanso biribi pa biara amfiri mu amma, yɛhwɛɛ ayaresa berɛ ɛkwan nanso ehu nko ara na ɛkaa yɛn.
We abididen pees, and no good was; we abididen tyme of medicyn, and lo! drede is.
16 Wɔte atamfoɔ no apɔnkɔ homee firi Dan; na wɔn apɔnkɔnini su ma asase no nyinaa woso. Wɔaba sɛ wɔrebɛsɛe asase no ne ɛso nneɛma nyinaa, kuropɔn no ne wɔn a wɔtete mu nyinaa.
Gnastyng of horsis therof is herd fro Dan; al the lond is moued of the vois of neiyngis of hise werriours; and thei camen, and deuouriden the lond, and the plente therof, the citee, and the dwelleris therof.
17 “Hwɛ, mɛsoma awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ aba mo mu, nhurutoa a wɔntumi nnwodwo wɔn, na wɔbɛkeka mo,” deɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
For lo! Y schal sende to you the werste serpentis, to whiche is no charmyng; and thei schulen bite you, seith the Lord.
18 Ao mʼawerɛhoɔ mu ɔwerɛkyekyefoɔ, mʼakoma aboto wɔ me mu.
My sorewe is on sorewe, myn herte is mourenynge in me.
19 Tie me nkurɔfoɔ sufrɛ a ɛfiri akyirikyiri asase so: “Awurade nni Sion anaa? Ne Ɔhene no nni hɔ bio anaa?” “Adɛn enti na wɔde wɔn nsɛsodeɛ ahyɛ me abufuo, wɔn ananafoɔ ahoni huhuo no?”
And lo! the vois of cry of the douyter of my puple cometh fro a fer lond. Whether the Lord is not in Sion, ethir the kyng therof is not therynne? Whi therfor stiriden thei me to wrathfulnesse bi her grauun ymagis, and bi alien vanytees?
20 “Otwa berɛ no atwam, ahuhuro berɛ no aba awieeɛ, na wɔnnyee yɛn nkwa.”
Heruest is passid, somer is endid; and we ben not sauyd.
21 Sɛ wɔadwerɛ me nkurɔfoɔ no enti, wɔadwerɛ me; medi awerɛhoɔ, na ahodwirie akyekyere me.
Y am turmentid, and sori on the sorewe of the douyter of my puple; astonying helde me.
22 Aduro bi nni Gilead anaa? Ɔyaresafoɔ bi nni hɔ anaa? Na afei adɛn enti na ayaresa nni hɔ mma me nkurɔfoɔ apirakuro?
Whether resyn is not in Galaad, ether a leche is not there? Whi therfor the wounde of the douytir of my puple is not heelid perfitli?
