1 Ke azɔ la, ale Yehowa, ame si wɔ wò, O! Yakob, eye wòme wò, O! Israel, la gblɔe nye esi, “Mègavɔ̃ o, elabena meɖe wò. Metsɔ wò ŋkɔ yɔ wò be tɔnye nènye.
Kodwa khathesi, nanku akutshoyo uThixo uthi, yena owakudalayo, wena Jakhobe, yena owakubumbayo, wena Israyeli: “Ungesabi, ngoba ngikuhlengile; ngikubize ngebizo lakho; ungowami.
2 Ne èto tɔ me, mato eme kpli wò, ne èto tɔsisiwo me, mato wo me kpli wò be tɔsisi la malé wò o. Ne èto dzo me mame wò o, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo hã mafia wò o,
Lapho udabula phakathi kwamanzi ngizakuba lawe; lalapho udabula emifuleni, kayiyikukukhukhula. Lapho uhamba phakathi komlilo, kawuyikutsha; amalangabi kawayikukubhebhisa.
3 elabena nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ lae nye wò ɖela. Metsɔ Egipte ƒle tawò, eye Kus kple Seba axɔ ɖe tewòƒe.
Ngoba mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uMsindisi wakho. Ngizanikela iGibhithe njengenhlawulo yakho, iKhushi leSebha ime esikhundleni sakho.
4 Esi asixɔxɔ kple bubu le ŋutiwò le ŋkunye me, eye melɔ̃ wò ta la, matsɔ ŋutsuwo ana ɖe tewòƒe. Matsɔ amegbetɔwo ana ɖe wò agbe teƒe.
Njengoba wena uligugu njalo udumile ebusweni bami, futhi ngenxa yokuthi ngiyakuthanda, ngizanikela abantu esikhundleni sakho, labantu esikhundleni sempilo yakho.
5 Mègavɔ̃ o, elabena meli kpli wò, makplɔ viwòwo tso ɣedzeƒe, eye maƒo mia nu ƒu tso ɣetoɖoƒe.
Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ngizakulethela inzalo yakho ivela empumalanga ngikubuthe kusukela entshonalanga.
6 Magblɔ na anyiehe be, ‘Ɖe asi le wo ŋu.’ Na dziehe be, ‘Megasika wo o.’ Mikplɔ vinye ŋutsuwo tso didiƒe kple vinyenyɔnuwo tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke vɛ,
Ngizakutsho kuyo inyakatho ngithi, ‘Bakhulule!’ Ngitsho kuyo iningizimu ngithi, ‘Ungabagodli.’ Buyisani amadodana ami akude lamadodakazi ami asemikhawulweni yomhlaba,
7 ame sia ame si ko ŋu woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo, ame siwo mewɔ hena nye ŋutikɔkɔe, ame siwo meme, eye mewɔ.”
wonke umuntu obizwa ngebizo lami, engamdalela udumo lwami, engambumbayo, ngamenza.”
8 Mikplɔ ame siwo ŋku li na, gake womele nu kpɔm o la kple ame siwo to li na, gake womesea nu o la do goe.
Phumani lalabo abayiziphofu amehlo belawo, abayizacuthe indlebe belazo.
9 Dukɔwo katã kpe ta, eye amewo ƒo takpli. Wo dometɔ kae gblɔ esia da ɖi, eye wòɖe gbeƒã nu siwo dzɔ va yi la na mi? Womekplɔ woƒe ɖasefowo vɛ, ne woaɖee fia be woƒe nya dzɔ, ale be ame bubuwo asee agblɔ be, “Nyateƒee” o.
Izizwe zonke kaziqoqane ndawonye labantu babuthane. Nguphi wabo owaphrofitha lokhu wamemezela kithi ngezinto zendulo? Kabalethe ofakazi babo babonakalise ukuthi baqinisile, ukuze abanye bezwe, batsho bathi, “Kuqotho.”
10 Yehowa be, “Miawoe nye nye ɖasefowo kple nye dɔla si metia be mianya, eye miaxɔ dzinye ase, ase egɔme be nyee. Mawu aɖeke medo ŋgɔ nam o, eye ɖeke hã mado ŋgɔ nam o.
UThixo uthi, “Lina lingofakazi bami, lenceku zami engizikhethileyo, ukuze lazi, likholwe kimi, njalo lizwisise ukuthi mina nginguye. Ngaphambi kwami kakho unkulunkulu owake wabakhona, njalo kakho ozakuba khona emva kwami.
11 Nyee, ɛ̃, nyee. Nyee nye Yehowa. Ɖela aɖeke meli kpe ɖe ŋunye o.
Mina, mina uqobo, nginguThixo, ngaphandle kwami kakho omunye umsindisi.
12 Nye la, meɖee fia. Meɖe eme, eye meɖe gbeƒã be nyee, ke menye dzromawu siwo le mia dome lae o. Miawoe nye nye ɖasefowo.”
Ngivezile ngasindisa, ngamemezela, mina ngokwami, hatshi unkulunkulu wezizweni ophakathi kwenu. Lingofakazi bami, ngokuthi mina yimi uNkulunkulu” kutsho uThixo.
13 Yehowae gblɔe. “Mianyae be nyee nye Mawu. Ɛ̃, nye koe tso blema ke. Ame aɖeke mate ŋu axɔ ame le asinye o. Ne mewɔ nu la, ame kae ate ŋu atrɔe?”
“Ye, kusukela ensukwini zasendulo nginguye. Kakho ongakhulula esandleni sami. Lapho ngisenza, ngubani ongakuguqula na?”
14 Ale Yehowa, wò Ɖela, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la gblɔe nye esi, “Le tawò madɔ ame ɖo ɖe Babilonia woaɖakplɔ Babiloniatɔwo vɛ abe aʋasilawo ene, eye woalɔ wo ɖe woƒe tɔdziʋu siwo dzi wodana ɖo la me.
Lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo, uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uthi, “Ngenxa yenu ngizathumela impi eBhabhiloni ilethe bonke abaseBhabhiloni, njengeziphepheli ngemikhumbi ababezigqaja ngayo.
15 Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la, Israel Wɔla kple miaƒe Fia.”
Mina nginguThixo, oNgcwele wenu, uMdali ka-Israyeli, iNkosi yenu.”
16 Ale Yehowa, ame si ɖe mɔ to atsiaƒu me, ame si ɖe mɔ to tɔsisi gãwo me,
Nanku akutshoyo uThixo, yena owenza indlela olwandle lomkhondo emanzini alamandla,
17 ame si na tasiaɖamwo, sɔwo, aʋakɔwo, kple kalẽtɔwo ho aʋa, va tsi afi si womagafɔ le gbeɖe o. Ame si na wotsrɔ̃, eye wotsi abe akaɖimeɖovu ene la gblɔe nye esi:
yena owakhupha izinqola zempi lamabhiza, ibutho, lamanye awokuliqinisa endawonye; njalo lalala lapho, kalaze lavuka futhi; licitshe, liqunywe njengentambo yesibane:
18 “Miŋlɔ blemanuwo be. Migaɖo ŋu ɖe gbe aɖe gbe nuwo ŋu o.
“Khohlwani izinto zamandulo, linganakani ngosekwedlulayo.
19 Kpɔ ɖa, mele nu yeye wɔm! Edo mo ɖa xoxo, mèle ekpɔm oa? Mele mɔ tam ɖe gbedzi, eye mana tɔsisiwo nado ɖe kuɖiɖinyigba dzi.
Khangelani, ngenza okutsha! Khathesi kuyavela ngokuphangisa; kalikuboni na? Ngenza indlela enkangala lezifula ogwaduleni.
20 Gbemelãwo, amegaxiwo kple golowo ade bubu ŋunye, elabena mena tsi do tso gbegbe, eye tɔsisiwo do ɖe kuɖiɖinyigba dzi be mana tsi nye amewo, nye ame tiatiawo,
Izinyamazana zeganga ziyangidumisa; amakhanka lezikhova, ngoba ngenza kube lamanzi enkangala lezifula ogwaduleni ukuze nginathise abantu abakhethiweyo,
21 ame siwo mewɔ na ɖokuinye be woaɖe gbeƒã nye kafukafu.
abantu engazenzela bona ukuba bangidumise.
22 “Ke wò, Yakob, mèyɔm o. O! Israel, mèkpe fu ɖe tanye o.
Kodwa kawukhalazanga kimi wena Jakhobe, kodwa ukhathele ngami wena Israyeli.
23 Mètsɔa wò alẽwo saa numevɔ nam loo alo tsɔa wò akpedavɔsa dea bubu ŋunye o. Nyemetsɔ nuɖuvɔsawo do agbae na wò o alo ɖe fu na wo be nàtsɔ dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonu vɛ nam o.
Kawungilethelanga izimvu zomnikelo wokutshiswa, kumbe wangidumisa ngemihlatshelo yakho. Angikuhluphanga ngeminikelo yamabele kumbe ngakudinisa ngokufuna impepha.
24 Mètsɔ atikeʋeʋĩ aɖeke vɛ nam alo tsɔa wò lãwo ƒe ami sãa vɔ̃e nam agbadree o, ke boŋ ètsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo do agbae nam, eye nèɖe fu nam kple wo vodadawo.
Kawungithengelanga amakha ekhane anuka mnandi, kumbe wangisuthisa ngamahwahwa emihlatshelo yakho. Kodwa ungikhathazile ngezono zakho njalo wangidinisa ngezinengiso zakho.
25 “Nyee, ɛ̃, nyee atutu wò dzidadawo ɖa le nye ŋutɔ ɖokuinye ta, eye nyemagaɖo ŋku wò nu vɔ̃wo dzi o.
Mina, mina uqobo, nginguye owesula iziphambeko zakho ngenxa yami, ngingabe ngisazikhumbula futhi izono zakho.
26 Ɖo ŋku tsãnuwo dzi nam. Na míahe nya sia kple mía nɔewo. Gblɔ ale si wò nya dzɔe.
Ngikhumbuza ngesikhathi esedlulayo, sibonisane ngaleyondaba ulandise ngoba msulwa kwakho.
27 Fofowò gbãtɔ wɔ nu vɔ̃. Wò nyanuɖelawo dze aglã ɖe ŋutinye,

Ngakho izikhulu zethempelini lakho ngizaziyangisa; nginikele uJakhobe ekubhujisweni lo-Israyeli ekweyisweni.”
