< Yesaya 7 >

1 Le Yuda fia, Ahaz, Uzia ƒe vi, Yotam ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ŋɔli la, Siria fia Rezin kple Israel fia, Peka, Remalia ƒe vi, woho aʋa va dze Yerusalem dzi, gake womete ŋu xɔ du la o, du la gale te ko.
Kwathi u-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu, indodana ka-Uziya, eyinkosi yakoJuda, uRezini inkosi yase-Aramu loPhekha indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yako-Israyeli basuka bayahlasela iJerusalema, kodwa kabalinqobanga.
2 Azɔ wogblɔ na David ƒe aƒe la be, Siria wɔ ɖeka kple Efraim, eya ta Ahaz kple dukɔ la katã ƒe dzi ʋuʋu abe ale si ya ʋuʋua avemetiwoe ene.
Indlu kaDavida yatshelwa kwathiwa, “I-Aramu isimanyene lo-Efrayimi,” inhliziyo ka-Ahazi lezabantu bakhe zanyikinyeka njengezihlahla zegusu zinyikinywa ngumoya.
3 Yehowa gblɔ na Yesaya be, “Wò kple viwò ŋutsu, Seya Yasub, mido go ne miakpe Ahaz le dzigbeta si le avɔnyala ƒe mɔdzi la ƒe nuwuƒe.
UThixo wasesithi ku-Isaya, “Hamba wena lendodana yakho uSheyari-Jashubi ukuba lihlangabeze u-Ahazi ekucineni komgelo wamanzi oweChibi Elingaphezulu, emgwaqweni oya Ensimini Yomgezisi.
4 Gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Kpɔ nyuie, lé dzi ɖe ƒo, eye mègavɔ̃ o. Dzi megaɖe le ƒo wò le dzoti takpo eve siawo, Rezin kple Siria kpakple Remalia ƒe vi ƒe dziku sesẽ la ta o.
Lithi kuye, ‘Nanzelela, hlala ngokuthula, njalo ungesabi. Inhliziyo yakho kayingadeli ngenxa yolaka olwesabekayo lukaRezini lo-Aramu lolwendodana kaRemaliya.’”
5 Siria, Efraim kple Remalia ƒe vi woɖo nugbe ɖe wò gbegblẽ ŋu be,
U-Aramu lo-Efrayimi lendodana kaRemaliya sebecebe ukukutshabalalisa besithi,
6 “Mina míadze Yuda dzi; mina míavuvui, míamae ɖe mía ɖokuiwo dome, eye míatsɔ Tabel ƒe vi aɖo fiae ɖe enu.”
“Kasihlaseleni ilizwe lakoJuda; kasilidabuleni phakathi silabelane, senze indodana kaThabheli ibe yinkosi yalo.”
7 Gake ale Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “‘Madze edzi o, mava eme o,
Kodwa-ke lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: “‘Akuyikuphumelela, akuyikwenzakala,
8 elabena Siria ƒe tae nye Damasko, eye Damasko ƒe tae nye Rezin. Le ƒe blaade-vɔ-atɔ̃ la me, woagbã Efraim gudugudu, ale womaganɔ te o.
ngoba inhloko ye-Aramu yiDamaseko, inhloko yeDamaseko nguRezini kuphela. Phakathi kweminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu u-Efrayimi uzakuba esetshabalele engaseyiso sizwe.
9 Efraim ƒe tae nye Samaria, eye Samaria ƒe tae nye Remalia ƒe viŋutsu. Ne mienɔ te sesĩe le xɔse me o la, ekema mianɔ te hã o.’”
Inhloko ka-Efrayimi yiSamariya, inhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya kuphela. Nxa lingami liqine okholweni lwenu alisoze livele lime.’”
10 Yehowa gaƒo nu na Ahaz be,
UThixo wakhuluma njalo ku-Ahazi wathi,
11 “Bia dzesi Yehowa, wò Mawu la. Eɖanye gogloƒe ke loo alo kɔkɔƒe ke o.” (Sheol h7585)
“Cela isibonakaliso kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, ingabe ekujuleni kwezulu loba phezulu engqongweni.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Ke Ahaz ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyemabia o; nyemado Yehowa akpɔ o.”
Kodwa u-Ahazi wathi, “Angiyikucela. Angiyikulinga uThixo.”
13 Tete Yesaya gblɔ be “Azɔ la, David ƒe aƒe, see. Ɖe mesɔ gbɔ be miado amegbetɔ ƒe dzigbɔɖi akpɔ oa? Ɖe miado nye Mawu hã ƒe dzigbɔɖi akpɔa?
U-Isaya wasesithi, “Khathesi-ke zwana wena lendlu kaDavida. Akwenelanga na ukulinga ukubekezela kwabantu? Uzalinga lokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu wami njalo na?
14 Eya ta Aƒetɔ la ŋutɔ ana dzesi mi. Ɖetugbi si menya ŋutsu kpɔ o la afɔ fu, eye wòadzi ŋutsuvi, ana ŋkɔe be Imanuel.
Ngakho-ke iNkosi ngokwayo izanika isibonakaliso: Intombi egcweleyo izakhulelwa izale indodana bayibize ngokuthi ngu-Emanuweli.
15 Ano nyinotsi babla kple anyitsi va se ɖe esime wòanya ale si wòade vovototo nyui kple vɔ̃ dome,
Uzakudla amasi loluju lapho eselolwazi olwaneleyo ukuba ale okubi akhethe okulungileyo.
16 gake hafi ɖevi la nanya ale si wòade vovototo nyui kple vɔ̃ domee la, fia eve siwo mievɔ̃na na vevie la ƒe anyigba azu gbegbe.
Kodwa-ke umfana engakazi okwaneleyo ukuba ale okubi akhethe okulungileyo, ilizwe lamakhosi amabili owesabayo lizachithwa.
17 Yehowa ana be ŋɔdzinu si tɔgbi medzɔ kpɔ tso keke esime Efraim ma ɖa tso Yuda gbɔ o la nadzɔ ɖe wò kple wò amewo kple fofowò ƒe aƒe dzi. Akplɔ Asiria fia aƒu wò.”
UThixo uzakwehlisela phezu kwakho laphezu kwabantu bakho, laphezu kwendlu kayihlo, isikhathi esingafani lesinye kusukela u-Efrayimi ebhazuka kuJuda, uzaletha inkosi yase-Asiriya.”
18 Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa alia aku ayɔ nudzodzoewo tso Egipte tɔʋuwo ƒe mlɔewo nu ke kple anyiwo tso Asirianyigba dzi
Ngalelolanga uThixo uzatshaya ikhwelo ebiza impukane ezisekudabukeni kwezifula zaseGibhithe lezinyosi eziselizweni lase-Asiriya.
19 Woava adze ɖe bali globowo kple kpetowo me. Woava dze ɖe ŋuvewo kple tsiʋewo katã me.
Zizakuza zonke zihlale ezingoxweni ezingamawa, ezimbalwini zamadwala, ezihlahleni zonke zameva kuwo wonke amagodi amanzi.
20 Gbe ma gbe la, Aƒetɔ la atsɔ lãnu si wòɣe le tɔ la godo, Asiria fia, be wòalũ ta na mi, alũ ɖa siwo le miaƒe afɔwo ŋu, eye wòalũ ge hã na mi.
Ngalolosuku iNkosi izasebenzisa impuco ebolekwe enkosini yase-Asiriya ngaphetsheya koMfula iYufrathe ukuphuca ikhanda lakho loboya obusembaleni yakho, lokugunda indevu zakho lazo.
21 Gbe ma gbe la, nyivi ɖeka kple gbɔ̃ eve pɛ koe atsi ame ɖeka si.
Ngalolosuku umuntu uzafuya ithokazi elilodwa lembuzi ezimbili.
22 Ɖe nyinotsi gbogbo si wonana ta la, ame sia ame akpɔ nyinotsi babla aɖu. Ame siwo katã susɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi la, aɖu nyinotsi kpekẽ la, eye woano anyitsi hã.
Ngenxa yobunengi bochago oluzavela kuzo, uzakuba lamasi azawadla. Bonke abazasala elizweni bazakudla amasi loluju.
23 Gbe ma gbe la, afi sia afi si wainka akpe le, eye wòxɔa klosaloga akpe ɖeka la, ŋu kple aŋɔkawo koe amie ɖe teƒe ma.
Ngalolosuku, ezindaweni zonke lapho okwakulamavini ayinkulungwane alingana amashekeli esiliva ayinkulungwane, kuzakuba lokhula lameva kuphela.
24 Ŋutsuwo ayi afi ma kple da kple dati, elabena ŋu kple aŋɔkawo koe axɔ anyigba la dzi.
Abantu bazakuya khona belamadandili lemitshoko ngoba ilizwe lizakuba seligcwele ukhula lameva.
25 Ke hena togbɛ siwo woŋlɔna kple kodzoe tsã la, miagate ŋu ayi afi mawo o, ɖe vɔvɔ̃ na ŋu kple aŋɔkawo ta, ke woava zu nyiwo kple alẽwo nyiƒe.
Emaqaqeni wonke ake alinywa ngekhuba kawusayikuya khona ngenxa yokwesaba ukhula lameva, azakuba yindawo yokwelusela inkomo lamadlelo ezimvu.
