Yeremia 9
1 Ao, sɛ me etiri yɛ asutire, na mʼaniwa yɛ nisuo abura a, anka mɛsu awia ne anadwo ama me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔakunkum wɔn no.
ʻAmusiaange ʻeau ko e vai ʻa hoku ʻulu, mo e matavai ʻoe loʻimata ʻa hoku mata, ke u tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu kuo mate ʻi he ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?
2 Ao, sɛ mewɔ akwantufoɔ asoeɛ wɔ anweatam no so a, anka mɛgya me nkurɔfoɔ hɔ na mafiri wɔn nkyɛn; ɛfiri sɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ awaresɛefoɔ, nnipa kuo a wɔnni nokorɛ.
ʻAmusiaange ʻeau ke u maʻu ʻi he toafa, ʻae fale tali fononga; koeʻuhi ke u tukuange hoku kakai, pea ʻalu ʻiate kinautolu! He ko e kau angahala ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko e fakataha ʻoe kau tangata kākā.
3 “Wɔsiesie wɔn tɛkrɛma te sɛ agyan de di atorɔ; Ɛnyɛ nokorɛ so na wɔnam di yie wɔ asase yi so. Wɔyɛ bɔne toatoa so; na wɔnnye me nto mu,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
“Pea ʻoku nau teke honau ʻelelo, ke loi ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kaufana; ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau toʻa, koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni ʻi māmani; he kuo nau ʻalu mei he kovi ki he kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
4 “Monhwɛ yie wɔ mo nnamfonom ho; monnnye mo nuammarima mpo nni. Ɛfiri sɛ onuabarima biara yɛ ɔdaadaafoɔ, na adamfo biara yɛ osekuni.
“Mou taki taha vakai ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa mou tui ki ha tokoua: koeʻuhi ʻe fai fakakākā ʻae tokoua kotoa pē, pea ko e kaungāʻapi kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu fano mo e fakakovi.”
5 Adamfo daadaa adamfo, na wɔn mu biara nka nokorɛ. Wɔn tɛkrɛma akokwa atorodie mu, na wɔde bɔneyɛ ha wɔn ho.
Pea te nau taki taha kākaaʻi hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻikai te nau lea ki he moʻoni; kuo nau ako honau ʻelelo ke lea loi, pea ʻoku nau fakaongosiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fai kovi.
6 Wote nnaadaa mfimfini; na wɔn nnaadaa mu wɔmpɛ sɛ wɔgye me to mu,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
Pea ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kākā; koeʻuhi ko e kākā ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
7 Ɛno enti, sei na Asafo Awurade seɛ, “Hwɛ, mɛnane wɔn asɔ wɔn ahwɛ, na ɛdeɛn bio na mɛtumi ayɛ ɛsiane me nkurɔfoɔ yi bɔne nti?
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Vakai, Te u fakavela ke vai ʻakinautolu, pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu; he ko e hā te u fai koeʻuhi ko e ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?
8 Wɔn tɛkrɛma yɛ agyan a ano wɔ borɔ; ɛka nnaadaasɛm. Obiara kasa asomdwoeɛ mu kyerɛ ne yɔnko, nanso nʼakoma mu deɛ, ɔsum no afidie.
ʻOku tatau honau ʻelelo mo e ngahau kuo fanaʻi; ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae kākā: ʻoku ne lea fakafiemālie ʻi hono ngutu ki hono kaungāʻapi, ka ko hono loto ʻoku toka malumu ki ai.”
9 Ɛnsɛ sɛ metwe wɔn aso wɔ yei ho?” Sei na Awurade seɛ. “Ɛnsɛ sɛ mʼankasa metɔ ɔman a ɛte sei so awere anaa?”
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ʻikai ʻe totongi ʻe hoku laumālie ki he puleʻanga pehē?
10 Mɛsu na mɛtwa adwo ama mmepɔ no, mɛbɔ abubuo a ɛfa anweatam adidibea ho. Ayɛ fo na obi mfa hɔ bio, na wɔnte anantwie su wɔ hɔ. Ewiem nnomaa no atutu kɔ na mmoa no nso adwane kɔ.
Te u tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi moʻunga, pea te u tangi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻi he toafa, he kuo nau vela ʻo ʻosi, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha taha; pea ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ʻi ai ki he leʻo ʻoe fanga manu; kuo puna ʻo mole mei ai ʻae manu ʻoe ʻatā mo e manu ʻoe fonua; kuo nau ʻalu.
11 “Mɛyɛ Yerusalem mmubuiɛ sie, sakraman atuo; na mɛma Yuda nkuro ada mpan sɛdeɛ obiara ntumi ntena hɔ.”
“Pea te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, Ko e tuʻunga ʻotoʻota, pea ko e ʻana ʻoe fanga talākoni; pea te u fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ke taʻehakakai ʻi ai.”
12 Onipa bɛn na ɔnim nyansa ara sɛ ɔbɛte yei ase? Hwan na Awurade akyerɛkyerɛ no a ɔbɛtumi akyerɛ aseɛ? Adɛn enti na wɔasɛe asase no ama ada mpan sɛ anweatam a obiara ntumi mfa soɔ?
Ko hai ha tangata poto, te ne ʻilo eni? Pea ko hai ia kuo folofola ki ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ke ne fakahā pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ʻauha ʻae fonua, pea ʻoku vela ʻo ʻosi ia ʻo hangē ko e toafa, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha taha?”
13 Awurade kaa sɛ, “Esiane sɛ wɔapo me mmara a mehyɛ maa wɔn no enti, wɔanyɛ ɔsetie amma me na wɔanni me mmara so.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki ʻeku fono ʻaia naʻaku tuku ʻi honau ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau talangofua ki hoku leʻo, pe ʻeveʻeva ai;
14 Mmom, wɔadi wɔn akoma asoɔden akyi, wɔadi Baalnom akyi sɛdeɛ wɔn agyanom kyerɛɛ wɔn no.”
Ka kuo nau muimui ki he mahalo ʻa honau loto, pea ʻia Peali, ʻaia naʻe ako ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai kiate kinautolu.”
15 Ɛno enti, deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no seɛ nie: “Hwɛ, mɛma saa nnipa yi adi aduane a ɛyɛ nwono na wɔanom nsuo a wɔde awuduro afra.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: “Vakai, Te u fafanga ʻaki ʻae kakai ni ʻae meʻa kona, pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae huhuʻa kona ʻoe ʻahu ke nau inu.
16 Mɛbɔ wɔn ahwete amanaman a wɔn anaa wɔn agyanom nnim so, na mede akofena bɛtaa wɔn kɔsi sɛ mɛsɛe wɔn.”
Pea te u fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakai hiteni, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ki ai pe ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea te u fekau ʻae heletā ke muimui ʻiate kinautolu kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻosi ʻakinautolu.”
17 Sɛdeɛ Awurade tumfoɔ seɛ nie: “Dwene ho! Frɛ mmaa agyaadwotwafoɔ no, frɛ wɔn a wɔakwadare mu pa ara.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Mou fakakaukau, pea ui ki he kau fefine tangi ke nau haʻu, pea mo e kau fefine poto ke nau omi:
18 Ma wɔmmra ntɛm mmesu ngu yɛn so kɔsi sɛ yɛn ani so bɛtaataa nisuo na nisuo adware yɛn.
Pea ke nau fakatoʻotoʻo, mo tangi koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke tafe ʻae loʻimata ʻi hotau mata, pea ha ʻae vai ʻi hotau laumata.
19 Wɔte agyaadwotwa nnyegyeeɛ firi Sion sɛ, ‘Wɔasɛe yɛn! Yɛn anim agu ase yie! Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtu firi yɛn asase so ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn afie abubu.’”
He ʻoku ongo mai mei Saione ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo vetea ʻakitautolu, kuo tau puputuʻu lahi, koeʻuhi kuo tau tukuange ʻae fonua, pea kuo kapusi ʻakitautolu ʻi hotau ʻapi.’”
20 Afei, Ao mmaa, montie Awurade asɛm; monyɛ aso mma nsɛm a ɛfiri nʼanom. Monkyerɛ mo mmammaa sɛdeɛ wɔtwa dwo; monkyerɛ mo ho mo ho abubuo bɔ.
Ka neongo ia, ke mou fanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fefine ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea ongoʻi ʻe homou telinga ʻae folofola ʻa hono fofonga, pea ako ʻae tangi ki hoʻomou fānau fefine, pea ako ke taki taha tangi ʻa hono kaungāʻapi.
21 Owuo aforo afa yɛn mpomma mu ahyɛne yɛn aban mu; apamo mmɔfra afiri mmɔntene so ne mmeranteɛ afiri ɔman adwaberem.
He kuo hake ʻae mate ki he ngaahi kātupa; pea kuo hū ia ki he ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, ke tutuʻu ʻae fānau mei tuʻa, pea mo e kau talavou ʻi he ngaahi hala.”
22 Ka sɛ, “Sei na Awurade seɛ, “‘Nnipa afunu bɛdeda hɔ te sɛ sumina a ɛgugu petee mu, te sɛ aburoo a otwafoɔ atwa agu nʼakyi a obiara mmoaboaa ano.’”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ke ke lea,” ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mo e ngaahi ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kau tangata ʻe tō ia ki he ʻataʻatā ʻoe ngoue, ʻo hangē ko ha kinohaʻa, pea tatau mo e falukunga ʻoku toe, ʻoka hili ʻae ututaʻu, koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ha taha.”
23 Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Mma onyansafoɔ mfa ne nyansa nhyehyɛ ne ho anaa ɔhoɔdenfoɔ mfa nʼahoɔden nhyehyɛ ne ho anaa ɔdefoɔ mfa nʼahonya nhyehyɛ ne ho.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa polepole ʻae tangata poto ʻi heʻene poto, pe ko e tangata mālohi ʻi heʻene mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa polepole ʻae tangata maʻu meʻa ʻi heʻene koloa.
24 Mmom ma deɛ ɔhyehyɛ ne ho nhyehyɛ ne ho sɛ ɔwɔ nhunumu, na ɔnim sɛ, me ne Awurade a ɔyɛ adɔeɛ, na ɔbu atɛntenenee na ɔyɛ adetenenee wɔ asase so ɛfiri sɛ yeinom na ɛsɔ mʼani,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
Ka ko ia ʻoku polepole ke polepole ʻi he meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne poto mo ʻiloʻi au, Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou faʻa manavaʻofa, mo fakamaau, mo angatonu ʻi māmani:” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni.”
25 “Nna bi reba,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “A mɛtwe wɔn a wɔatwa twetia wɔ honam fam nko ara no nyinaa aso:
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te u tautea ai ʻae kamu fakataha mo e taʻekamu;
26 Misraimfoɔ, Yudafoɔ, Edomfoɔ, Amonfoɔ, Moabfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtete anweatam a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri nsase so nyinaa. Na nokorɛm, saa aman yi nyinaa yɛ momonotofoɔ na mpo Israel fiefoɔ nyinaa yɛ akoma mu momonotofoɔ.”
Ko ʻIsipite, mo Siuta, mo ʻItomi, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo Moape, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi potu mamaʻo, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa: he ʻoku taʻekamu ʻae ngaahi kakai ni kotoa pē, pea ʻoku taʻekamu ʻae loto ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.”
