Jeremiah 43

1 And it came to pass that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, wherewith the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

Bere a Yeremia wiee nsɛm a efi Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn nkyɛn no ka no, biribiara a Awurade asoma no sɛ ɔmmɛka nkyerɛ wɔn no,

2 then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there:

Hosaia babarima Asaria, Karea babarima Yohanan ne mmarima ahomasofo no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ Yeremia se, “Woredi atoro! Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, nsomaa wo se bɛka se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ mokɔ Misraim kɔtena hɔ.’

3 but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives to Babylon.

Na mmom Neria babarima Baruk na ɔregyigye wo so tia yɛn ama wɔde yɛn ahyɛ Babiloniafo nsa, sɛnea wobekum yɛn anaa wɔbɛsoa yɛn de yɛn akɔ nkoasom mu wɔ Babilonia.”

4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.

Enti Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafo mpanyimfo no nyinaa ne nnipa no anni Awurade hyɛ a ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔntena Yuda asase so no so.

5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven to sojourn in the land of Judah;

Mmom Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafo mpanyimfo no nyinaa de Yuda nkae a wofi amanaman a wɔbɔɔ wɔn ahwete kɔɔ so no so na wɔaba sɛ wɔrebɛtena Yuda asase so no nyinaa kɔe.

6 the men, and the women, and the children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;

Wɔde mmarima, mmea, mmofra ne ɔhene mmabea a ɔsahene Nebusaradan, a ɔyɛ ɔhene awɛmfo panyin no, de wɔn gyaw Ahikam babarima Gedalia a ɔyɛ Safan nena, odiyifo Yeremia ne Neria babarima Baruk nso kɔe.

7 and they came into the land of Egypt; for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: and they came even to Tahpanhes.

Enti wɔhyɛn Misraim a wɔanni Awurade asɛm so, na wokoduu Tapanhes.

8 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn wɔ Tapanhes se,

9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

“Bere a Yudafo no rehwɛ no, fa abo akɛse, afei tutu fam wɔ birikisi nsɛwee a ɛwɔ Farao ahemfi a ɛwɔ Tapanhes abobow ano hɔ, na fa gu mu kata so.

10 and say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

Afei ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Mɛsoma me somfo Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar, na mede nʼahengua besi saa abo a masi wɔ ha no so; na ɔbɛtrɛw nʼadehye kyinii mu wɔ so.

11 And he shall come, and shall smite the land of Egypt; such as are for death [shall be given] to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.

Ɔbɛba abɛtow ahyɛ Misraim so, na obekum wɔn a wɔahyɛ sɛ wonkum wɔn no, ɔbɛfa wɔn a wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔnkɔ nnommum mu no nnommum, na wɔn a wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔmfa wɔn mma afoa no, wɔde wɔn bɛma afoa.

12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

Ɔbɛto Misraim anyame asɔredan mu gya, ahyew na wɔafa wɔn anyame no nnommum. Sɛnea oguanhwɛfo de nʼatade kyekyere ne ho no, saa ara na ɔde Misraim bɛkyekyere ne ho na wafi hɔ akɔ a ne ho baabiara renti.

13 He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.

Owia asɔredan a ɛwɔ Misraim no, obebubu nʼafadum kronkron no, na wahyew Misraim anyame asɔredan no dwerɛbee.’”
