Yɛn Agya kasa wɔ nkyekyɛmu ahorow 2–7, 9–17, 19–32
21 1Yɛn Agya asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Yerusalem, ka asɛm tia ne kronkronbea ahorow no, hyɛ nkɔm tia Israel asase, 3na ka kyerɛ Israel asase se, “WʼAgya se: Mitia wo. Mɛtwe mʼafoa afi ne bunu mu, na mɛtwa ɔtreneeni ne ɔbɔnefo nyinaa afi wo mu. 4Esiane sɛ mɛtwa ɔtreneeni ne ɔbɔnefo nyinaa afi wo mu nti, mʼafoa befi ne bunu mu atia obiara, efi anafo kosi atifi. 5Afei obiara behu sɛ mene Agya no.

6Wo, onipa ba, si apini! Si apini wɔ wɔn ani so a wo koma abubu na wudi awerɛhow a ɛyɛ yaw. 7Sɛ wobisa wo se, ‘Adɛn nti na woresi apini?’ a, ka se, ‘Ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛreba no nti.

8Yɛn Agya asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
9Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na ka se: Otumfoɔ Agya se: “Afoa, afoa a wɔasew ano na wɔatwitwiw ho nso, 10wɔasew ano ama okum, wɔatwitwiw ho ama ahyerɛn sɛ anyinam. Ɛnde, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛdi ahurusi? Afoa no bu mʼba ahempema animtiaa, sɛnea ɛbu dua biara. 11Wɔahyɛ afoa no sɛ wɔntwitwiw ho, na wɔnsɔ mu wɔ nsam; wɔasew ano na wɔatwitwiw ho, asiesie ama okumfo no nsa. 12Su na teɛm, onipa ba, efisɛ ɛreba abɛtia me nkurɔfo; ɛreba abɛtia Israel mmapɔmma nyinaa. Wɔde wɔn ne me nkurɔfo nyinaa ahyɛ afoa no nsa. Enti bɔ wo srɛ wɔ awerɛhow mu.” 13Ampa, wɔbɛsɔ ahwɛ. Na sɛ ahempema a ɛbu no animtiaa no mpo nni hɔ bio a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn? Otumfoɔ Agya na ose. 14“Enti wo, onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na bɔ wo nsam. Ma afoa no mmɛtɔ wɔn so mprenu, mpo mprɛ mmiɛnsa—afoa a wɔde kum, afoa a wɔde kum pii, a ɛretwa wɔn ho ahyia afa nyinaa, 15sɛnea koma bɛnane na atɔfo adɔɔso. Wɔn apon nyinaa ano mede afoa no asi hɔ ama okum. Ao! Wɔayɛ no ama ɛhyerɛn sɛ anyinam, wɔatwe no ama okum. 16Twa kɔ nifa, afei kɔ benkum, baabiara a wʼafoa ano dan kɔ no. 17Me nso mɛbɔ me nsam, na mʼabufuw bɛdwo. Me, wʼAgya, na maka.”
18Yɛn Agya asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
19“Onipa ba, hyɛ akwan abien agyirae ma Babilon hene afoa no mfa, na abien no nyinaa mfi asase koro so.

28Na wo, onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na ka se: Sɛɛ na Otumfoɔ Agya ka fa Amonfo ne wɔn ahohora ho. Ka se: “Afoa, afoa a wɔatwe no ama okum, wɔatwitwiw ho ama amene na ahyerɛn sɛ anyinam! 29‘Ɛmfa ho anisoadehu atoro a ɛfa wo ho ne ntonto atoro no, ɛbɛda kɔn so wɔ abɔnefo a wɔbɛkum wɔn no ho, wɔn a wɔn da adu, wɔn asotwe a etwa to bere no. 30Fa afoa no san hyɛ ne bunu mu!
