12 Yehowa san ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: 2 “Onipa ba, wote atuatewfo mu.* Wɔwɔ ani nanso wonhu ade, wɔwɔ aso nanso wɔnte asɛm,+ efisɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo.+ 3 Na wo, onipa ba, boaboa wo nneɛma ano na yɛ sɛ nea woretu akɔ obi man so. Tu fi baabi a wote kɔ baabi foforo; kɔ awiabere ma wonhu wo. Wɔyɛ atuatewfo de, nanso ebia wɔbɛte ase. 4 Fa wo nneɛma no fi adi awiabere te sɛ nea woretu akɔ ɔman foforo so ma wonhu, nanso kɔ anwummere; yɛ sɛ nea wɔretu wo akɔ ɔman foforo so.+
5 “Tu ɔdan no ho tokuru na fa wo nneɛma no fa mu pue+ ma wonhu wo. 6 Fa nneɛma no to wo kɔn ho na fi adi bere a esum aduru ma wonhu. Kata w’anim na woanhu fam, efisɛ mede wo reyɛ sɛnkyerɛnne ama Israel fi.”+
7 Ɛnna meyɛɛ nea ɔka kyerɛɛ me no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Awiabere mu na mede me nneɛma fii adi te sɛ nea meretu akɔ obi man so; eduu anwummere no, mede me nsa tuu ɔdan no ho tokuru. Afei esum durui no mede nneɛma no fii adi; mede too me kɔn ho ma wohui.
8 Eduu anɔpa no, Yehowa san ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: 9 “Onipa ba, enti Israelfo a wɔyɛ atuatewfo no ammisa wo sɛ, ‘Dɛn na woreyɛ yi?’ 10 Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Nea Awurade Tumfo Yehowa aka ni: “Atemmusɛm yi fa Yerusalem obirɛmpɔn+ ne Israel fifo a wɔwɔ kurow no mu nyinaa ho.”’
11 “Ka sɛ, ‘Meyɛ sɛnkyerɛnne ma mo.+ Nea mayɛ yi, saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ wɔn. Wobetu wɔn ase akɔ; wɔbɛkyere wɔn akɔ obi man so.+ 12 Obirɛmpɔn a ɔwɔ wɔn mu de ne nneɛma bɛto ne kɔn ho afi adi anadwo. Obetu ɔdan ho tokuru na ɔde ne nneɛma no afa mu apue.+ Ɔbɛkata n’anim na wanhu fam.’ 13 Mɛtrɛw m’atena mu agu no so, na m’atena beyi no.+ Afei mede no bɛkɔ Babilon, Kaldeafo asaase so, nanso ɔrenhu; ɛhɔ na obewu.+ 14 Wɔn a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa, n’aboafo ne n’asraafo nyinaa, mɛbɔ wɔn ahwete baabiara+ na matwe sekan adi wɔn akyi.+ 15 Sɛ mebɔ wɔn pete aman so na mehwete wɔn kɔ nsaase no so a, wobehu sɛ mene Yehowa. 16 Afoa,* ɔkɔm, ne nsanyare a edi awu a ɛbɛba no, mɛma mmarima kakra afi mu aka, na wɔatumi aka wɔn abofonode no nyinaa ho asɛm wɔ aman a wɔbɛkɔ so no mu, na wobehu sɛ mene Yehowa.”
17 Na Yehowa san ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: 18 “Onipa ba, fa ahopopo di w’aduan,* na fa ahohia ne ahoyeraw nom wo nsu.+ 19 Ka kyerɛ asaase no sofo sɛ, ‘Nea Awurade Tumfo Yehowa aka akyerɛ wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem wɔ Israel asaase so ni: “Wɔde ahoyeraw bedi wɔn aduan* na wɔde ehu anom wɔn nsu.

21 Na Yehowa san ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: 22 “Onipa ba, akasabebu bɛn na ɛyɛ a wɔka wɔ Israel sɛ, ‘Ade kye na ade asa, nanso anisoadehu biara mma mu’?+ 23 Enti ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Nea Awurade Tumfo Yehowa aka ni: “Mɛma wɔagyae akasabebu yi ka, na wɔremmu saa bɛ no wɔ Israel bio.”’ Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Nna no abɛn,+ na anisoadehu biara bɛba mu.’ 24 Na anisoadehu anaa nkɔmhyɛ biara a ɛnyɛ nokware* rentena Israel fi bio.+ 25 ‘“Na me Yehowa, mɛkasa. Nea mɛka biara bɛyɛ hɔ; ɛrenka akyi.+ Atuatewfo, mo bere so+ na mɛkasa, na mɛyɛ nso,” Awurade Tumfo Yehowa asɛm ni.’”
26 Yehowa san ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: 27 “Onipa ba, Israelfo* rekeka sɛ, ‘N’anisoadehu no nyɛ nnɛ ne ɔkyena asɛm, na ne nkɔmhyɛ no fa bere a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri ho.’+ 28 Enti ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Nea Awurade Tumfo Yehowa aka ni: “‘M’asɛm biara renka akyi. Nea mɛka biara bɛyɛ hɔ,’ Awurade Tumfo Yehowa asɛm ni.”’”
