2 “Kɔ Rekabfo+ no fie, na wo ne wɔn nkɔkasa na fa wɔn bra Yehowa fie adidibea no biako mu, na ma wɔn nsã nnom.”
3 Ɛnna mefaa Habasinia ba Yeremia ba Yaasania ne ne nuanom ne ne mmabarima nyinaa ne Rekabfo fie mma no nyinaa,
4 na mede wɔn baa Yehowa fie hɔ, nokware Nyankopɔn nipa Hanan, Yigdalia ba no mma adidibea+ a ɛwɔ mpanyimfo no adidibea a ɛwɔ ɔpon ano hwɛfo Salum+ ba Maaseia adidibea atifi nkyɛn hɔ no mu.
5 Ɛnna mede nkuruwa a nsã ayeyɛ no amaama ne nkora sisii Rekabfo fie mma no anim, na meka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: “Monnom nsã.”
6 Na wɔkae sɛ: “Yɛrennom nsã biara, efisɛ yɛn agya Rekab+ ba Yonadab hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ, ‘Monnnom nsã biara; mo ne mo mma nyinaa nnnom bi da.+

11 Nanso bere a Babilon hene Nebukadresar tu baa asase yi so+ no, yɛkae sɛ, ‘Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Yerusalem, Kaldea asraafodɔm ne Siria asraafodɔm no nti, na yɛnkɔtena Yerusalem.’”+
12 Na Yehowa asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ:
13 “Nea asafo Yehowa, Israel Nyankopɔn no aka ni, ‘Kɔ na kobisa Yuda mmarima ne Yerusalemfo sɛ: “Mantu mo fo daa sɛ muntie m’asɛm?”+ Yehowa asɛm ni.
14 “Rekab+ ba Yehonadab asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mma sɛ wɔnnnom nsã biara no, wɔadi so na wɔnnom nsã de besi nnɛ, na wɔadi wɔn agya ahyɛde so.+ Me de, mekasa kyerɛɛ mo, mesɔree anɔpahema kasa kyerɛɛ mo,+ nanso moantie me.+

16 Rekab+ ba Yehonadab mma no adi wɔn agya ahyɛde a ɔhyɛɛ wɔn no so,+ nanso ɔman yi de, wɔantie me.”’”+
17 “Enti nea Yehowa, asafo Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn no aka ni, ‘Hwɛ, mmusu a maka atia Yuda ne Yerusalemfo nyinaa no, mede ne nyinaa bɛba wɔn so,+ efisɛ mekasa kyerɛɛ wɔn, na wɔantie; mefrɛɛ wɔn daa, nanso wɔannye me so.’”+
18 Na Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ Rekabfo fie mma no sɛ: “Nea asafo Yehowa, Israel Nyankopɔn no aka ni, ‘Sɛ́ moatie mo agya Yehonadab+ ahyɛde na moda so di n’ahyɛde nyinaa so na moyɛ nea ɔhyɛɛ mo nyinaa+ nti,
19 nea asafo Yehowa, Israel Nyankopɔn no aka ni: “Onipa a obegyina+ m’anim remmɔ Rekab ba Yonadab da biara da.”’”+
